Monday Mayhem - What if?

Today we are playing. “What if”
For every prompt, tell us what would happen if….

Have fun and be sure to visit the other people playing.
Woohoo!

What if…
Charlie Sheen were right about who he is, what he is saying and his “goddesses”?
The earth would spin off it's axis and go crashing into the sun.

What if…
Potato chips were declared a vegetable? Ronald Reagan would still be alive and President and we could have a vegetable and a fruit in our school lunches. Potato chips and ketchup.

What if…
All the junk going on in parts of the world ended in peace? Then the Book of Revelations would be wrong.

What if…
gas prices hit $5? If that happens...I damn well better have a job, because job hunting with no income and gas prices of $3.69 a gallon are killing me.

What if…
American Idol got canceled? What would people talk about at the water cooler? Seinfeld is history...what would anyone talk about?

What if…
the Queen of Alaska was elected president? See the first question.

What if…
talking on a cell phone while driving became illegal? The police would have to make something else illegal to rake in all the dough from the extra tickets they're writing now.

What if…
Bud and Kathy invited you to a party- would you go? I'm always up for a party...unless it's like the one I attended Saturday night.

What if…
you found $1000 sitting in the road? I would be able to pay this month's mortgage payment.

Thanks for playing- see you next week!

Charlie Sheen...Trainwreck

Sadly I missed the special last night on Dateline or whatever program that was last night. Sorry, can't miss The Good Wife. I look forward to it every week, and frankly, I've had my own trainwreck last night, so I just could not sit through watching his. Normally I would have watched just for snicks and grins. If you know me and want the details, email me, I can't post it here.

Is it just me? Or does Charlie Sheen look like crap? Has he had a face lift? I dunno, he just doesn't look good..

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this whole thing is getting blown out of proportion in the media for ratings. And really, was it necessary for CBS to pull the plug on the rest of the season? Yes, peoples jobs are at stake, people like you and me who don't make a million (or whatever he makes) per episode. People like camera men and grips and so on. Is it really necessary to punish them for his misdeeds? Why couldn't they just write him out of the remaining episodes and let the "little people" earn their living? This pulling the plug on the rest of the season reeks of a publicity stunt by CBS.

Yes, I realize he's done bad things. Yes, it's quite possible that he did make those horribly threatening remarks to one of the mothers of his children. Custody can get ugly, very ugly. Just ask me, I know first hand. And yes, I could see myself saying some of those things...if I had no self control. And believe, me I've got to have tons of self control in my situation.

Yes, drugs are bad people! They make people do bad things and make poor choices. But is it really necessary of the media to jump onto this trainwreck and do we have to hear about it every frickin' day? And why does the media act as though they are giving him the benefit of the doubt here and then they continue to show him running amok?

"Yes..I'm under a drug...It's called Charlie Sheen!" Seriously?
