Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Disney and Saving Women's Sports

Guarantee it folks, Walt Disney World and Disneyland are going out of business.  

The latest bit of corporate advancement involves removing any pronouns or nouns which refer to a specific gender, male or female.

Thus the phrase "boys and girls" or "ladies and gentlemen" will no longer be used.  The replacements are not so heinous....instead the shout will be "hey everybody" or "hello everyone".

The company's logic....well first, little tidbit, the head of Walt Disney has two children who fall in the LGBTQ community, one child is defined as being "pansexual".  Which I suppose mean he or she considers themselves as any sex you can name.

I don't think happy shouts of "Hello everybody" is quite as cringe-making to the ears as "hello lesbians, gay, bisexuals, transgenders and queers" so I don't think Disney making a big deal over this was such a good idea.

Three Governors that I know of have signed state legislation to protect women's sports.  Because part of all this far left craziness is that does not matter whether your chromosomes are "XY" or "XX", or what parts dangle between the legs, the tug is aimed at a cultural shift that a person's sex is what their brain wants them to be.

Thus a male who solidly considered himself a female can compete in female competitions.  Which is unfair because XY people have stronger muscles and, say, if the competition is something dainty and delicate, they will likely beat the XY people because XX's are built for that type of activity.

Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey, Florida's Gove. DeSantis, and Oklahoma's Governor Governor Governor Kevin Stitt, have signed state laws that will keep different sexes from competing in sports that specify only certain sex genders.  

There are probably other states working toward eliminating Joe from competing in girls' volleyball because believe it, most of America think this culture crash is ridiculous.

The Famous Oscar Slap



I don't know how many words, thoughts or opinions I can add to the famous incident at the Oscars on 
3/27/22.

Except that I, like most of America, had stopped watching the Oscars, and other celebrity awards shows, for their boredom and constant self-congratulations.

And on this night too, I had taped the show on the off-chance I might have some boring time to fill.  But I had not one chance to watch a single second for when I tuned in early Monday morning to Fox and Friends I would learn about the famous slap.

Seems that Chris Rock was about to give out an Oscar on stage when he noticed Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, sitting at a nearby table.  Chris Rock gave a wave from on-stage to the couple and made a crack about the follow up version to G.I. Jane 2.  This flew right over my head but I later learned that Rock was snarking about Jada's bald head as the star of G.I. Jane was in that part.  I also later learned that Rock did not know that Jada has some disease which makes people lose their hair. 

So Will Smith marches up on the stage to everyone's surprise as none of us knew what was going on.  When he got in front of Chris Rock he heartily slapped the guy in the face.  Smith than walked determinedly back to his seat with Jade.  At that time, as Chris Rock rubbed sore face, the two of them began a verbal fight with Will Smith yelling for Rock to keep his wife's name out of his ------- mouth.

THIS, my readers upon, was the first interesting, amazing, NOT pre-planned, incident at the Oscars from...well forever.  We were not hearing about how Trump does bad tweets, how the next 5,000 people I am about to name helped me to win, how the Ukraine needs more food.

The celebrities in this incident, really entertained the people.  Rock or Smith weren't acting like the holy ones so many actors and such consider themselves.

I loved it.  I loved the whole incident.  I love the fact that it took no famed celebrities, illustrative screen writers, producers or teams of encouraging relatives.

And yet it will bring more attention and fame to Hollywood and its ilk that all the aforementioned combined.

Review "I Can See Your Voice"


Fox-Wednesday-8pm
https://www.fox.com/i-can-see-your-voice/

Hit competition show I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE returns for Season Two! Hosted and executive-produced by Ken Jeong, the music guessing game series marked one of the top-rated debuts of the 2020 season. The series also features Emmy Award-nominated actress Cheryl Hines and Daytime Emmy Award-winning television host and vocalist Adrienne Bailon-Houghton. All three join a rotating panel of celebrity detectives, comprised of comedians and pop culture experts and a musical superstar to help one contestant tell the difference between good and bad singers, without ever hearing them sing a note. With $100,000 on the line, the contestant will attempt to weed out the bad “Secret Voices” from the good, based on a series of clues, videos and the infamous lip-synch challenges. In the end, the singer whom the contestant picks will reveal if they are good or bad in a duet performance with the musical superstar, resulting in an amazing musical collaboration or a totally hilarious train wreck. New this season, contestants are given one chance to use the “Golden Mic,” which grants them advice from one secret mystery celebrity.

--------------------------------------
I do quite enjoy this show.  Any one of us could go on the show but you need to be able to lip sync and appear real.

If you fool the contender that you are a real singer, the contender doesn't get the money. 

You'd be surprised how easy it is to be fooled by someone lip syncing.  And when a "bad" singer sings the song for real it's always a bit hilarious.  

This show is a pleasant way to enjoy an easy and clever hour of reality television.

Host Kim Jeong is also one of the judges on "The Masked Singer".

THE FLY ON THE WALL


Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog.  I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation.  Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling.  I am, after all, only a fly.

Intentional Gaffes

The spider invited me to yet another of his secret meetings that always surprise me.  THIS meeting only had a few people, one of which was President Biden!

"I'm telling you people we got every news agency and smart alec political pundit calling me stupid, that I'm committing endless political gaffes.  I'm getting tired of it."

Pres. Biden was on a tirade after the spider and I came into the room, a room with a meeting that had no crumbs.  I had to wonder why the spider even thought I'd want to come.

"Shhhh," the spider whispered at my complaint.  "President Biden is not the smartest human in the world, but he's not the stupidest.  Listen up."

"We wanted to get the message out that somebody needs to shoot Putin between the eyes," one meeting attendee told Pres. Biden.  "You did it and now all you can do it is deny it.  You're doing a fine job."

With this Biden slapped his forehead in disgust like humans do sometimes.  "And I got to listen to how dumb I am from the rest of the world.  They're also all saying I intentionally told our troops they would soon be in Ukraine."

"You did!" someone in the room shouting.

"I know I did but again, you tell me to treat it like it's a gaffe on my part and I get mocked."

I asked the spider if this was true, that Biden was intentionally set up to make gaffes to get a message across that's not suppose to happen.

Again the spider told me to ssssshhhh.  "For sure he commits plenty of legitimate gaffes so these people decided to set Biden up so it looks like he's making more gaffes.  This way America can deny whatever insulting thing Biden said and avoid anger."

At that point a tray of donuts was brought in and lost interest in Biden's gaffes, alleged or staged.

Still.......who knew?
