What's going on tonight, National Underwear Day August 5, Lynx

Two big things you can attend today.  The Purple Pride Caravan stops at the Save-A-Lot in Monterey at 5pm tonight with MJ and Lynx.  Visit with some of the TTU football team, cheerleaders, and Awesome Eagle.  Plus, get free hot dogs and Pepsi while you get ready for some football.  After you do that, head over to the DeKalb County Fairgrounds.  I will be a part of the Vintage Fashion Show at 7pm.  Shane has made a copy of the white Marilyn Monroe dress.  And far be it from me to say how great it looks.  But....  There will be no wardrobe malfunctions and I will not fall.  But I have been advised that if I do fall to really go for it.  Elvis will also be at the fashion show.  But I don't know if it's early Elvis, leather Elvis or Vegas Elvis.
 
Lee Wray wore a tie again today.  Very dapper.  He's attending a webinar.  Which I'm guessing is a web seminar.  Webinar.  Wacky.
 
Jessey McCartney has paved the way for Lee and other male solo artists.  He's (Jesse) is the very first male spokesperson for the Bongo brand.  Bongo makes totally rockin' shoes by the way.  His ads will start appearing in magazines in September.  Had no idea Nicole Richie was a Bongo spokesperson.  Guess I don't read enough magazines.
 
Mark your calendars. August 5 is National Underwear Day.  I don't know if that mean if you don't wear it normally then you should wear it.  Or wear more than one pair, or just wear your favorites.  To help celebrate, the classic game Operation is being released on the same day.  And the patient is now wearing underwear.  I know, it was so scandalous before.  Did you know the patient's name is Cavity Sam?  Well, file that away so you can win a trivia contest one day.  And, much like webinar, here's another made up word--funatomy.  Hasbro has added some Funatomy like Toxic Gas and Burp Bubbles.  They've also added squishy parts and such so Operation is now multi-sensory.  Why does it have to be multi-sensory?  That mistake buzzer was good enough in the past.  And I wonder how many surgeons got their start playing Operation?  If any.

Lynx popped  in on the show.  He's a full grown adult and has no idea why his mother named him that.  Because it's really his name.  Lynx does overnights on Magic in case you didn't know.  He says he has often asked her and she's never spilled the beans.  Now I want to know.  I mean, there's got to be a reason.  And, speaking of names--

A judge in New Zealand is fed up with cutesy names. He's ordered a new name for a nine-year-old girl. Her parents named her "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii." A lawyer says she was so embarrassed by it, she didn't even tell her friends.

MYSTERIOUS PANTYHOSE

Folks in one Massachusetts neighborhood want to hose the "Pantyhose Bandit." That's what they're calling the person who's been leaving pantyhose near a school bus stop in Milford. It's been going on for more than two years. Laurie Warich tells the Milford Daily News she has picked up 43 pairs in just one day. The pantyhose are almost always black and queen sized. Some pairs are new, others used. Neighbors call the pantyhose dumping weird and scary. Police say they're investigating but the only crime appears to be littering.

OLD SCHOOL P.E. CLASSES

Some of us may have tried to get out of P.E. classes when WE were in school, but at Rhode Island's Newport Recreation Center, they're having to turn people away. Their gym class is for grown-ups only. It's called "Old School P.E." There are warm-up exercises and stretches, then friendly competition with games like dodgeball. Old School P.E. only has a few rules, including one that requires husbands and wives to play on opposite sides.

or A FORM OF EXTORTION
A Wisconsin man, who threatened to expose his ex-girlfriend on the Internet unless she paid her share of the rent, has been arrested. Police say the man wanted his ex-girlfriend to pay the rent even though he'd kicked her out. Pay up, the man said, or he'd post photos of the woman wearing her lingerie -- and less. On Monday, Lynnwood police arrested the man on suspicion of second-degree extortion. A police spokesman said quote, "You can't threaten somebody like that. It's against the law."
