Put A Sock In It! #1

Put a sock in it... put a lid on it...however you gently phrase it, it all means the same. Zip it will ya? Seem we go through these phases every once in while where quotes and such creep into the landscape, and some have to be reminded silence is indeed golden. Look it's all in fun here, so don't get too riled up if one of your favs make the first installment of Put A Sock In it!

1/ Over the weekend Hillary Clinton was asked if the race for president for her was over. She responded with this diddy. "It's not over, till the the lady in the pantsuit says it's over!" Obviously meaning her. Try that line at your next party and see if you get the same reaction she did. A bunch of phony people screaming like it was the line of the year.

2/ Sunday Dallas Cowboy QB Tony Romo sang Take Me Out To The Ball Game, at Wrigley Field at the Cubs game in the 7th inning. It's a tradition there...one that may be under review today! Did you hear that singing? If you didn't know what a wounded hyena sounded like you do now. Dude, if you can't sing a note, don't sing a note!!!

3/ Barack Obama a week or two ago was eating breakfast in a diner on the campaign trail. A reporter kept trying to ask him a question or two, and Obama go frustrated and spouted this gem that went something like this, "Look, I just want to eat my waffle." Too bad dude, you're running for president remember? You can loaf, relax, do exactly what you want and avoid reality AFTER you become president and not a minute before. It's a perk of the job you want. Put the fork down and answer the guy trying to do his job.

4/ David Letterman. Funny guy, but to be honest I've heard enough Top Ten Lists. You know the first 500,000 were mildly amusing, but the half million that have followed no matter who is reading them are just not funny anymore. I think humor and The Top Ten went out about the same time Wham was doing their farewell tour.

5/ The Gasoline price woman (Trilby Lundberg) you hear on the news all the time about how high gasoline prices are this week. She's from the Lundberg report. We get it.... gas prices are out-of-hand high. Come back when they're on the way down with some better news. Take the summer off.

I think this enough to get us started. I'll toss one of these in every couple of weeks when some juicy new material comes to light. We'll find five more victims to throw down on then. If you any nominees, e-mail them to me and explain why they should Put A Sock In it!
