Some asshole on 18th St. addressed me as "toilet." You have to admit that's original.

Phyllis Diller died today. When I was a little kid I remember seeing someone throwing powder on her and thinking it was funny. Miss Manners said "in order to succeed in the entertainment business, one should be entertaining."

It actually rained today, apparently a lot. We had our pastor's 70th birthday party today. At least he had nice weather for his actual birthday, which was yesterday.

WEEK
Dow up, over 13 thousand, temperatures still around 90 but a little more bearable. Did not have the predicted storms for my birthday. Doctors are convinced what I have is an allergy, doing everything I can, natural and unnatural. Gas was as low as $3.59/gallon at two places on Rockville Pike.
DAY
I love this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97g2phDXMM0
Heard it today for the first time on 94 Fresh today. Thought I had WETA on.

Today marks the 35th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. Kind of like the Kennedy assassination -- I remember where I was and what I was doing at the time.

DAY
Today is the feast of the Assumption.
One of my Jewish friends says "I assume you people are crazy." Of course he refers to his own people as "loony."
I went to mass because
1) It's a holy day of obligation.
2) To thank G-d that I'm not dead.

Too bad Freddie Mercury wasn't there with his bandmates at the London Olympics last night. If you are black, white, Asian, gay, straight, stick around. Because there is someone who will miss you if you're not around.

"Rabbi Yekel of Zans, who had the best diction in the world until a
Gentile stole his resonant underwear, dreamed three nights running
that if he would only journey to Vorki he would find a great treasure
there. Bidding his wife and children goodbye, he set out on a trip,
saying he would return in ten days. Two years later, he was found
wandering the Urals and emotionally involved with a panda. Cold and
starving, the Rev was taken back to his home, where he was revived
with steaming soup and flanken. Following that, he was given
something to eat. After dinner, he told this story: Three days out of
Zans, he was set upon by wild nomads. When they learned he was a
Jew, they forced him to alter all their sports jackets and take in their
trousers. As if this were not humiliation enough, they put sour cream
in his ears and sealed them with wax. Finally, the Rabbi escaped and
headed for the nearest town, winding up in the Urals instead, because
he was ashamed to ask directions.
After telling the story, the Rabbi rose and went into his bedroom
to sleep, and, behold, under his pillow was the treasure that he
originally sought. Ecstatic, he got down and thanked God. Three days
later, he was back wandering in the Urals again, this time in a rabbit
suit.
The above small masterpiece amply illustrates the absurdity of
mysticism. The Rabbi dreams three straight nights. The Five Books of
Moses subtracted from the Ten Commandments leaves five. Minus
the brothers Jacob and Esau leaves three. It was reasoning like this
that led Rabbi Yitzhok Ben Levi, the great Jewish mystic, to hit the
double at Aqueduct fifty-two days running and still wind up on relief."

Years ago there was a Saturday Night Live with John Belushi called The Thing That Wouldn't Leave. I think that's what we can call this cold/allergy/whatever.
