Did you get your flu shot yet? Seriously, get one!
I actually got two flu shots. I went with bourbon and tequila.
The Jets lost again.
Reveal party gone wrong. 33-year old Hayley Sexton had painted the nursery pink, chosen the name Isabella and bought two Moses baskets, blankets and onesies in girl hue. She then gave birth to a baby boy. DOH!
This week’s sign of the apocalypse: The love child of former Belgian King Albert II on Thursday won a seven-year-long battle over her loyal rights and can now officially call herself a princess. She is now entitled to the same royal titles and privileges as her father’s three other children.

Speaking of the Oakland A’s, they won their first playoff series in 14 years. (14 years?! That’s a lot???)
During his September 24, 1960 campaign stop in Sullivan, Illinois, then vice-president Richard Nixon stopped to eat a barbeque buffalo sandwich at a related cookout. He barely finished the sandwich before getting up to make a speech. Then 14-year old Steve Jenne pounced, took the half-eaten sandwich and still has it today, 60 years later. (No one, and I mean no one, can make that shit up.)
