Jagger's Joint
Singer Lenny Kravitz says he
kept a marijuana joint he'd shared with Mick Jagger, for a year as a tribute.
Kravitz said he'd kept the joint because he was such a fan of the Rolling Stones frontman.
However, the remainder of the valued souvenir went up in smoke a year later after he ran out of dope.
Priorities--keep the souvenir or satisfy the fix? We knew which one you would choose, Lenny.

In my opinion a that is not a souvenir you keep. Either you throw it out or smoke it. A photo snapshot of them smoking would be a better souvenir.

Hmmm, I find it hard to be sentimental about things like that. Makes me wonder though - did Clinton keep the cigar?

Don't Cry Over Rotten Dumplings
The head of a food company
jumped to his death after a government investigation found that his company sold dumplings made with rotten ingredients, police said Monday.
Guess he takes his job seriously.

Fix It Tip
Nothing says summer better than a crisp, white cotton blouse (or men's dress shirt). The odds that your light-colored clothes will survive the day unbesmirched? Slim to none.
Try a this tip: Carry a big, white gummy eraser in your bag. Just like it does paper, it'll erase dirt and cinder markings from your clothes. The bigger the better, since a good grip is essential.
Consider this a quick, easy, and, best of all, portable way to keep your dry-cleaning bills to a minimum. Dash off to your nearest Office Max and pick up a few!

Better Late Than Never?
Noel Carino ran for the Philippine House of Representatives in 2001, but it took him
three years to be declared the winner - just in time for him to enjoy his office for one day as Congress ended its session Friday.
Carino, a businessman, lost the 2001 elections in an initial tally, but a recount later showed he won by 2,000 votes. His opponent, however, appealed to the Supreme Court.
On Thursday, the court ruled in Carino's favor, and he was sworn in Friday, Congress's last working day.

Are you kidding me? And I thought Florida had vote-counting issues.

Scent of Spears
Pop star Britney Spears is a new crossover artist in the beauty business. The 22-year-old singer will
launch a new fragrance, Curious, this fall.
A blend of white flowers and vanilla-infused musk, the fragrance is part of a licensing agreement with Elizabeth Arden, the company announced Thursday.
Packaging for Curious will feature two of Spears' favorite colors, pink and azure blue, and the bottle will be azure with heart-shaped charms.
Gag.

Well, we now have to wait over a year for more Sopranos episodes.
But, we have something to tide us over: the new season of Six Feet Under. If you haven't watched in the past, now is a great time to start. It's well worth it.
In honor of the premiere tonight, here is an interesting article on the making of the corpses for the show.

They Wish
Clever kids:
Parents opened their mailboxes to find an official-looking letter offering birth control - and motel rooms - for the upcoming senior prom.
The letter, an apparent end-of-the-year prank, described a "Protection Package" of "very specific birth control items," including condoms, Ross said.
It also stated that "a number of rooms will be made available" for interested students at the Inn at East Wind in Wading River, where the prom is to be held June 23.
Ha!

What I love
The top #4 things I'm loving most about my condo right now:
4) A garage--I'm sure I'll be loving this even more when I don't have to scrape off my car this winter.
3) A refrigerator where water and ice come out the front of it.
2) SPACE! God, I had no room before.
1) Soft water--it's seriously the bomb. No hard water spots on my wine glasses. Softer hair and skin. Love it!

Good job getting the garage. I bought my house two years ago, and the only reason I'm considering turning it into a rental is the lack of a garage. Ok that, and no space for a pool table, but primarily its the garage. No home should be without one these days.

Carb Craze Never Ends
Back in April, I penned
this post introducing you to the new low-carb Coke.
I figured it wouldn't sell well, and we'd never hear about it again. I was wrong.
McDonald's Corp., the No .1 fast-food chain that's been on a mission to its revamp its image, said it will offer Coca-Cola's new low-carb "C2" cola in a limited number of its restaurants.
McDonald's announced late Thursday that the company is sampling C2 in about 27 restaurants in five markets, including Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Orlando.

I don't understand C2. Counting carbs? Drink Diet Coke. Not counting carbs? Regular Coke.
Counting 1/2 of your carbs? C2?

Goodbye, Mr. Charles
Ray Charles, the Grammy-winning crooner who blended gospel and blues in such crowd-pleasers as "What'd I Say" and heartfelt ballads like "Georgia on My Mind,"
died Thursday, a spokesman said. He was 73.
Talented doesn't even begin to describe this man. I love his version of "Georgia on My Mind." I remember when he sang it in the opening credits of "Designing Women."
He is a legend.

He was born Ray Charles Robinson, and when he started in the biz he dropped his last name to avoid being confused with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. How can you have such a cool name from birth, then change it arbitrarily and have it be even cooler?

Mental stimulation
A German sociologist Werner Habermehl says
regular sex can help university students pass exams and get better grades.
They found that regular sexual activity significantly increased mental capability, but they found celibate students found it harder to make the grade.
So, all you crazy sex-fiends out there--now there is NO excuse for your poor performance in college! 
(Although, they didn't say what sex and excessive drinking will do for your grades).

Law and Order--the show that will never end
Because we need yet another
Law & Order version...
Candice Bergen and Frasier dad John Mahoney are close to signing on as the stars of NBC's latest Law & Order spinoff, Law & Order: Trial by Jury. Jerry Orbach, who recently left his role as Lenny Briscoe on the original L&O series, is also expected to star in Trial by Jury.

Bergen had a long career in film before Murphy Brown. They also said she would never make the transition from model to actress.
Then again, they said no one would take Sally Field seriously after "Gidget" and "The Flying Nun."

Shittin' in style
The Wall Street Journal reports that Toto has introduced its
deluxe Neorest toilet.
Features include seats that can be set to rise automatically via sensors on the side, so users don't have to touch the toilet. The toilet also has a wireless remote to raise or lower the seat. It has deodorizer, a warm-air dryer and water temperature, pressure and massaging options.
The sensors and remote I could dig. But the dryer and massaging options would weird me out.
