High Def
Can you spot the new toy?
Got it up and running just in time to see Game 6 of the NBA finals. While I watched it on high def, unfortunately the Lakers came out with the low score and Boston won the Championship. For Kobe, his prayers went unanswered.

This Just In...

Why Did The Blonde Learn Geography?
She was tired of everyone thinking that blondes were stupid, and she didn’t like all these jokes.
To end the injustice, she decided to prove to the world that she was smart. In order to prove herself, she chose to memorize the capital of every American state. It wasn’t an easy task, but she was determined and eventually managed to do it.
A few days later she was in a bar, and heard a couple of men laughing at a blonde joke. This was the perfect opportunity to start righting all the wrongs that had been done to blondes in the past - she would set these men straight!
Marching over at a rapid pace she announced, “It isn’t true that all blondes are stupid, and I will prove it. Just ask me the capital of any American state, and I will tell you what it is.”
Although a little surprised, the men did challenge her and asked, “Ok, how about Arizona?”
The Blonde, after pausing for a moments thought, proudly gave the answer,“A”!

Happy National Doughnut Day!!!
Did you know...National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday in June? In 1917, Salvation Army female volunteers known as “lassies” prepared thousands of fresh donuts to the homesick soldiers that served in France during World War I. National Donut Day was officially established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression.
Donut Glossary from Around the World:
Italy = fritole
Montenegro = ustipci
Mexico = churrro
Turkey = lokma
France = beignet
Germany = krapfen
Hungary = langos
India = balushai
Netherlands = oliebollen
Donut Facts:
In the U.S. alone, more than 10 billion donuts are made every year.
The largest donut ever made was an American-style jelly donut weighing 1.7 tons, which was 16 feet in diameter and 16 inches high in the center.
Per capita, Canada has more donut shops than any other country.
The hole in the donut's center appeared in the first half of the 19th Century.
Adolph Levitt invented the first donut machine in 1920.
Do you know why the golfer took a donut with him to the golf course?
He wanted to have a hole in one!

(Patrick Murray)
Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming1. Whenever you’re wrong, admit it,2. Whenever you’re right, shut up.
