6.16.14

Good morning Phoenix! Happy Monday – yeah, right…. Anyway, hope everyone had a great Father's Day, or at least a nice, peaceful Sunday.
I'm sure Miss Cathy will be along soon to give us her roving report from Breed news soon, so here's some trivia to occupy you till she gives her update.
Good luck for weddings:
Hey, brides, tuck a sugar cube into your glove -- according to Greek culture, the sugar will sweeten your union.
In English tradition, Wednesday is considered the "best day" to marry, although Monday is for wealth and Tuesday is for health.
Ancient Romans studied pig entrails to determine the luckiest time to marry.
Rain on your wedding day is actually considered good luck, according to Hindu tradition!
In Asia, wearing robes with embroidered cranes symbolizes fidelity for the length of a marriage.
Joke of the Day:
William and Mildred decided to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to Las Vegas. William went to the front desk to check them in while Mildred stayed with the car. As he was leaving the lobby, a young woman dressed in a very short skirt introduced herself as Candie. William brushed her off.
When William and Mildred got to their room, he told her that he'd been approached by a prostitute.
"I don't believe you," laughed Mildred.
"I'll prove it," said William. He called down to the desk and asked for Candie to come to room 1217.
"Now," he said, "you hide in the bathroom with the door open just enough to hear us."
Soon, there was a knock on the door. Candie walked in, swirling her hips provocatively. "So, I see you're interested after all," she said.
William asked, "How much do you charge?"
"$125 basic rate, $100 tips for special services."
William was taken aback. "$125! I was thinking more in the range of $25."
Candie laughed. "You must really be an old-timer if you think you can buy sex for that price."
"Well," said William, "I guess we can't do business. Goodbye."
After she left, Mildred came out of the bathroom. "I just can't believe it."
William said, "Let's go have a drink and forget it."
Back downstairs at the bar, the old couple sipped their cocktails.
Candie came up behind William, pointed at Mildred, and said, "See what you get for $25?"
Quote of the Day:
When I tried to do a search for marital advice on Google, it tried to finish my sentence for me, just like my wife does.
Random Daily Factoid:
Dogs and cats, like humans, are either right or left handed... or is that paws?!
Great Place for a Getaway:
Grand Canyon Caverns, Arizona
Imagine, if you can, spending the night in the oldest, darkest, deepest, quietest, and largest suite room in the world. Imagine, 220 feet below ground, in a cavern that took 65 million years to form, in a room that is 200 feet wide, 400 feet long with a 70 foot ceiling. The largest dry cavern in the United States, so dark that it is completely absent of any light, so quiet because it contains no life forms; nothing lives in the caverns, not a fly, not a mouse, a bat, bug or animal. Nothing. The only thing moving or breathing is you. The air is as dry and clean as one can get, coming in via 65 miles of limestone crevices from the Grand Canyon to the caverns. The limestone takes out all moisture and impurities.
The room is completely furnished with all amenities one would need… 22 stories below the surface, 2 double beds, living room with a queen fold out sofa, (room sleeps up to 6), a library of old books and magazines such as a National Geographic collection dating back to 1917, dictionaries and other books dating back to the late 1800’s. A working record player with records, table and chairs, bathroom, several lighting options for the overnight stay in the caverns, and personal lighting. All this can be yours for $800 per night for 2 people. Extra people (maximum occupancy is 6) will cost an additional $100 per person.
Have a fangtastic Monday everyone!  Brock
  • Sue M. Van Good Monday morning Brock. Not so sure about rain on your wedding day. My wedding day was rainy and after 32 years, I was divorced. Or maybe that could be considered lucky.  For sure I was happy to be rid of him! Have a great day.
  • Pamela Kruk Good morning, Brock, and everyone at Phoenix! Hmmm...no rain, but it was 60 degrees below zero on my wedding day first time around,Sue! The roses I was wearing and carrying froze on the mad dash from the car into the chapel...a distance of about 15 feet!! I should have taken that as an omen...
  • Aric Chase Good morning everyone. I'm diggin' the lighting in the cavern. Have a good day y'all
  • Chris Walker Smith Well, if anyone is getting married today, they're in for plenty of luck. It's dark as night, so much so that the streetlights came on, thunder, lightning, and pouring rain.
  • Cathy Hunter On my wayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
  • Peggy Foye Morning everyone. ..I couldn't stay in tha cave..to far.underground for me
