It’s 3 am, I couldn’t sleep. I got back out of bed at 2:40 and went into the living room and sat beside my daughter Sara on the sofa. She was watching a pretty funny video in which they were singing the lyrics “I’ve got soul but Im not a soldier.” I asked her what channel it was and she said MTV.

WHAT? MTV? Playing MUSIC??!!! I mean music with an actual video that’s telling a story along with the song, not a rap video where there are three guys with heavy jewelry and 100 half naked women throwing their asses into the camera, and not a few guys who resemble Satan and are screaming words you can’t understand but make your head hurt.

I remember when MTV really was Music Television 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I was a teenager living with my sister, and we had several people over just hanging around like lazy bums watching our “NEW REMOTE CONTROL TV WITH CABLE!!!” passing… something… from one hand to the next.

None of us had ever heard of MTV. We were just flipping channels and stopped when we saw these idiots on the TV with hats that looked like large red upside-down collapsible cups, singing WHIP IT! WHIP IT GOOD! (Devo), and that just made us laugh until our sides were about to split. But we were instantly hooked, couldn’t wait to see what the next video was they showed.

As I am writing this, Sara called me and said “Mom I think you like this video.” I had to go see, it was one I had told her about when we were disussing MTV a couple of weeks ago. It was BLIND MELON singing NO RAIN. I always loved this video in the early 90s, it showed a chubby little girl in a bumblebee suit, running around the city looking for acceptance, until she finally found a whole group of bumblebee-people in a field where they all danced… happily ever after. Sounds retarded but if you haven’t seen or dont remember this video, trust me its a great one. I had to stay for one more, it was FatBoySlim’s “Weapon of Choice.” Ok I hate that kind of music, but you gotta love any video that shows nothing but Christopher Walken dancing his butt off through the entire thing! Watch the video here.

In case you haven’t noticed, now MTV is mostly reality shows, dating shows, music-related game shows, spring-break shows, trash trash and more trash, with a little bit of trash music thrown in for good measure.

I am renaming MTV to WMTV… What’s Music? TV. Or Maybe AHOMTV… An Hour Of Music TV. Or hey! How about BStv?

With my messed up cable connection for the past week.

A four year old boy was abandoned by his mother on the Capital Beltway in D.C. Apparently she got angry at the child and pushed him out of the car and left him there. That’s not even the worst of it though. The kid tried to get back in the car and she hit him with it. He’s ok and she’s been arrested, but someone should just shoot her in the head and take one more piece of trash off the earth.

Something told me that when I made a blog post asking for blog topics, Diane would say LARD. Well here goes!

LARD has many uses. It’s good for creating pie crust, tamale dough, biscuits, and cardiac arrest. But what IS lard exactly? It’s usually made of rendered and clarified hog fat. Lard is richer than many other fats and makes your pie crust and biscuits tender and flaky.

How bad is lard for you? One tablespoon contains 116 calories, 13 grams of fat and 12 Mg of cholesterol. This leads me to take a wild guess that some of the many heart-attacks of people in their 50’s way back IN the 50’s and 60’s, before we had healthier substitutes, may have been caused from eating so much damned lard! It wasn’t just used for recipes, for the most part it was melted and used for frying… everything. Especially here in the South… “Fry me some chicken honey! Deep-fry it! Don’t put it on a paper towel when it’s done either! I wan’t ALL that delicious lard clogging up my arteries! Fry me some taters to go with it!”

OH LOOK! Here’s a BAND named LARD!

What about LARD and HISTORY?
In the 1700’s , Lard had many uses. It was used in making lye soap. Rendered fat and lye were boiled together in a pot to make soap. It was definitely used in frying and to baste roasting meat. Rendered fat was often used to seal jars of pickles, potted meat or other preserved food. Lard and suet were used in ointments and salves for medicinal (external) use. This was way before KY-Jelly was invented, and you can bet they used LARD instead.

In the post below this one, I told you to give me a topic to blog about, and this is the one Rich came up with. Back in April I made a post in this forum with a link to this news article. The article states that the Ivory-billed woodpecker, feared extinct after disappearing 60 years ago, was spotted in a remote and swampy part of my homestate, Arkansas.

Sadly, now another team of scientists are claiming that it was simply a case of mistaken identity. They believe the bird sighted was actually a non-endangered relative of the ivory-billed woodpecker: a pileated woodpecker. The original scientists who discovered the bird in question and video-taped it are still sticking by their story though.

What I find really interesting about this, is that if it is indeed the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, the Interior and Agriculture departments would set aside $10 million this year for a conservation plan, and that doesn’t include the private funding that was planned. Also, landowners in the area could become eligible for over $13 million in rental payments (over the next 15 years) to maintain the trees that these woodpeckers use.

Hmmmmm. If I thought I could get 10 million to conserve a bit of land (120 miles long and 20 miles wide) if I spotted the Ivory-Billed woodpecker…. well, I might suddenly start seeing it everywhere.

Here’s a new 3-column wordpress theme I put together for my punkpanther.com domain. You can see it in action HERE and you can download it HERE.

Last night on CNN presents, I watched a special about a girl named Sue Rubin who has autism. As a teenager, she was tested as having the intelligence of a 5 year old. After her parents taught her to communicate using a small keyboard device, she was retested and was found to have the intelligence of a 28 year old. Apparently she has little control over her hand movements, facial expressions, and the sounds that come out of her mouth, all very similar to a toddler, but her thoughts are perfectly normal, even above average. She fights daily, all day, to not kick, scream, bite, etc., and refers to this struggle as “killing autism.” Sue is now a senior in college, and is changing the way the medical world sees autism.

Yes, it’s another “SARA POST”

As some of you know, my 14 year old daughter Sara makes things out of duct tape… roses, purses, bookbags, wallets (Diane can show you a rose we sent her). She sells these items at school and church and is often called by her family and friends the Duct Tape Sensei.

I just wanted to show her latest creation, a duct tape tie that she made to wear to a concert last weekend. I got a kick out of it.
