Elvis tops list as Forbes' richest dead celebrity
The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Elvis Presley is still the King.

Presley, who earned an estimated US$49 million in the past 12 months, has reclaimed the No. 1 spot on Forbes.com's list of Top-Earning Dead Celebrities. He last topped the list in 2005.

John Lennon ranks second with earnings of $44 million, followed by Charles M. Schulz ($35 million), George Harrison ($22 million), Albert Einstein ($18 million), Andy Warhol ($15 million), Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) ($13 million), Tupac Shakur ($9 million), Marilyn Monroe ($7 million), Steve McQueen ($6 million), James Brown ($5 million), Bob Marley ($4 million) and James Dean ($3.5 million).

Presley died in 1977. His estate continues to generate millions from music royalties, DVDs, licensing deals and tourism at Graceland, the rocker's mansion in Memphis, Tenn.

Forbes said the celebrities on the list, posted Monday, earned a combined $232 million in the past 12 months.

Personally, I was a little surprised to see Albert Einstein on the list,but damn impressed at the 18 mill he pulled in...
I wonder what back they deal with in Heaven?

Blah Blah Meow!


HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!

mother-FUCK!

I mean...

seven minus one equals six.

OK, honestly, I don't know what the hell to say. There were three teams that ought to have left tonight :
Marie & Jonathan,
Jane & Tony
or Cameron & Edyta.

....but no. For some reason that was as shocking to Sabrina and Mark, all the other judges, including the other team in the bottom two (Cameron and Edyta) as well as all three judges, the hosts and the studio audience...
...it is Sabrina and Mark that are leaving...


...and as Mark Bergeron said, "I had you pegged to win this"... yea, me too...

All I can say, is...
What the fuck?!
What the fuck people?!
What the fuck?!
FUCK!

America, I hold you personally responsible.
Consider yourself bitch-slapped.

And even though, this means I've already lost my bet with Ma Horton, I'll support her choice and will vote for Mel and Maksim. They were my second choise anyhoo.

Are you freakin' kidding me?!

Honestly I don't understand stories like this at all!

Not only should that child have been removed from parental custody, but after reading this:

"According to police, the father became aggressive when the officers admonished him for leaving his child in the car.

The father told them he had done it before and didn't appreciate lessons in parenting. "

I think sterilization should be required. *Snip Snip* you dead beat, sorry excuse for a human being.
Can't wait to hear the mother's reaction...

Judgemental. Me?

Well guess what we did tonight?

Awwwwwwwwww, you're SO SMART!

Yuppers. We watched Dancing with the Stars!. And it was a great night... but I gotta say I'm expecting more of them and in most cases I gave lower scores than all three judges!

Let me re-cap and review for you shall I.

Mel & Maksim: AMAZING! Even though they are not the team I'll hoping to win, they ARE the team I want to see as runners up. They were a joy to watch. AND a perfect score... good on them!

Sabrina & Mark: She's a LA-DY. Whoa Whoa Whoa, she's a lady! What a wonderful dance!

Helio & Julianne: Well they were better than last week, but I didn't think as much improved as the judges... and as for Helio's outfit... all I can say is... "And then there's Maude..."

Jennie & Derek: How wonderful were they?! WOW! Strangely, or rather luckily for them, the judges didn't see the small mistake with that one handle near the end of their routine...

Marie & Jonathan: Personally if I see that Fainting clip one more time ... heh! twice again tonight and we even saw it on a commercial last night! Their dance was ok, not one of her best if you ask me.

Jane & Tony: Poor Jane. I fear she may be gone next. The Jive really wasn't her dance, although she and Tony were far better in the Group dance...

Cameron & Edyta: Ok one of the judges commented about "Pocahontas and Captain Smith" I's say it was more like Poca-cant-dance and Captain Slip" I'll say this, they have been improving week to week, but this week was a total reversal, no matter what the judges said!

As for the group dance. It was lively (and thank god! it was the Jive after all!) It was face paced and entertaining, amusing and impressive, what with some of the lifts being, or at least seeming rather complicated! Bravo to all of them!

So, anyone wanna guess the two leaving tomorrow? The sad part is at this point in the season with SEVEN couple left, you really want them all to stay... And that's a first! Generally I'm still screaming for them to cut crap couples ...

And um, I'm not sure what to think of this... but none other than Mr. Barry Manilow will be singing tomorrow night... any of you Fanalows?

Jai Guru Deva, Om.

So we went to see a movie today. It's one I've been wanting to see for a few weeks now...
...a Music based on the songs of the Beatles...



All I can say is if you're a lover of their music, GO SEE IT.

If you like untraditional films... GO SEE IT.

If you want to escape with some fantastic visuals, and incredible singing performances (especially Joe Cocker)... GO SEE IT.

Aww, hell just GO SEE IT... you'll be glad you did.

iPoppy v1.0



So after not buying a Poppy Pin for the past 3 years (only because I couldn't find any Veterans selling them) I bought a Poppy yesterday... and summarily lost it on my way to work today.

Well I won't have any of that! So I bought two more tonight on my way home and gave one to Didier. He's never worn one before.... It's not a tradition in France apparently...

Having spent so much time in the Veterans Hospital last week, while visiting my Grandmother, I'm glad to have found a Veteran with a table full of Poppies...

So, do you Poppy?

Who doesn't like a quiz on Friday

I mentioned, I'd have a quiz this Friday regarding our trip last weekend, in reply to a comment from NGB. ...and apparently, Maria has nothing else to read,( heh) ...so here is the quiz.

If anyone is able to get a passing grade of 60%(or more) I'll send em $10.00 (CDN), and a perfect score means $20.00 (CDN)

Please note class, that there are two exceptions:
a) Didier is disqualified from taking the test.
B) You are not to attempt contacting Didier or any of my family members living or deceased for assistance...
-----

Ok. Now class, turn your papers over...

1) What was the name of the Cemetery that Didier and I dug up family trees (ok, family shrubs)?

2) What flavour Gelato did I, My Mother AND Didier order while strolling around the Historic Properties?

3) How many peices of fish (total) did I, Didier and my Parents order at Alexandra's on Saturday?

4) What was the first name of the Bishop that was elected at the Synod my parents attended?

5) What colour and fabric is the outfit that my Grandmother wishes to be buried in?

6) Where their mushrooms in the Spaghetti Sauce?

7) How many family members are (currently) buried in the family plot?

8) How many spaces are still unoccupied (assigned or unassigned) in the family plot?

9) What sort of mammal did Didier and I spot at Peggy's Cove, (but were unable to capture on film because it was too quick)?

10) Did we serve Ice Cream or Whipped Cream with the Pumpkin Pie?

-----

Ok Class, impress the pants off me!
