BB 7.31.14


Good Morning Phoenix! Happy Thursday! The weekend is just around the corner, so hang in there. Don't forget that Nathan and Jordana's book is out in less than a week. Have you pre ordered yours yet? If not, what are you waiting for?
Trivia for Today:
On this day in 1988, America's last Playboy Club closes in Lansing, Michigan.
Joke for Today:
Little Johnny's father asks him if he knows about the birds and the bees.
"I don't want to know!" Little Johnny says, bursting into tears.
Confused, his father asks what's wrong.
"Oh, Dad," Little Johnny sobs, "first, there was no Santa Claus, then no Easter Bunny, and finally, no Tooth Fairy. If you're about to tell me that grownups don't really have sex, I've got nothing left to believe in."
Quote for Today:
The past can haunt you, but so can ghosts. The future can be unpredictable, but so can the stock market. So the lesson is, don't worry about ghosts and the stock market and you will be fine.
Random Daily Factoid:
The average cat has 24 whiskers.
Adrenaline Junkie Rush for Today:
Disclaimer: Yep – MBPhoenix still doesn't condone these activities, and will not be held responsible if you try them.
Backcountry skiing/snowboarding – a progression of the more controlled downhill skiing, this involves getting high up on a snow-capped mountain by lift, helicopter or mountaineering. Then it is time for wholesale shredding, down the mountainside, carving the craziest lines that you can imagine. There will be sheer vertical icy gulleys, rocky obstacles and huge jumps to negotiate, along with pristine powder snow to enjoy. Injury by falling or burial by avalanche are brutal risks here. Backcountry skiing and snowboarding is enjoyed in all of the world’s major ski areas. For those who wish to graduate from the groomed runs of the resort, backcountry guides are available to take you to areas to suit your skill level, for the authentic wilderness ski experience.
Have a fangtastic day!  Brock

BB 7.30.14

Joke for Today:

A: Kermit's undivided attention.
Quote for Today:
Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. Jerry Garcia
Random Daily Factoid:

Daily Adrenaline Junkie Rush:

Ghost Riding: Forget looking for ghosts when you could be ghostriding the whip instead. A favorite activity of people involved with the hyphy music movement in the San Francisco Bay Area, this activity involves dancing around and acting crazy on top of a car while it is in motion. There is no driver for the car while it’s slowly driving around since the driver is also outside of the car, dancing around on top of it. You have to have enough money to afford a car for this activity (or at least be able to find some friends that are willing to ghost ride with you) but other than that it’s not going to cost you anything more than a partial tank of gas to get a thrill that can sometimes be scarier than you might have thought.
As with car surfing, ghost riding can be dangerous and has resulted in between two and eight deaths in North America. Ghost riding is often featured in similarly risky urban sideshows, which also originated in Oakland, California.
