Of Course I'm Right!
Ringo Starr asks for his birthday today, according to this article in the New York Times, that everyone at noon their time put their fingers up and put our fingers up and say, “Peace and love.” Sure! why not? It’s in twenty minutes for me, and we certainly could use more.
The article is really quite funny, and represents a light style that Starr is famous for. Happy birthday Ringo Starr!

Update! One additional person (don’t know how I missed him the first time around).
Let’s play Bearded Hippy Bingo! Check out this photo and see who you recognize. Drop a comment if you have a guess. I’ll post the answers in a few days. Clicking on the image should enlarge it.
Listen: Jews and Christians aren’t all THAT different. Both believe that the Messiah will come, only for Christians it will be the second time. First of all, of all disputes to have, it seems to me it’s like arguing over whether or not God visited the 7-11 one extra time.
Anyway, it’s easily resolved: when he gets here, ask the the Messiah, “Hey, have you been here before?” Of course, then the “I told you so”s will begin. Oh- and if he answers, “I’ve always been here,” then he’s not a Messiah, but a Vorlon. And if it’s Ragnarok, then the Norwegians can really get a good laugh at the bunch of us. And if nothing happens, we can all continue arguing. What Fun!
