Happy Birthday to the Hoff

Just wanted to take a minute to wish Mr. David Hasselhoff the happiest of birthdays today. Here's to hoping you don't end up drunk off your ass trying to eat a burger off the floor being admonished by your daughter again this year Dave.
.
Ah hell who am I kidding, we've all been there, just most of us aren't in the public eye so no one cares when it ends up on the net . . . well except for maybe your mum, that shit nearly broke her heart.
.
So in conclusion Mr. Hasselhoff, more this, less that.
.
And how's about a quick bit of learning? You may have seen the stage production or the film Sweeney Todd, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter, which I would have enjoyed more if it weren't a musical, but that's neither here or there . . . back to the item at hand. Well seems that the Demon Barber of Fleet Street was a real life figure, credited with 150 murders and who turned his victims over to his special lady, Mrs. Lovett, to turn them into meat pies; you can read some about it here if you're interested.
.
And one last entry for today - in honour of our piss poor summer, I bring out another history lesson, but this time it's the history of the Super Soaker, check it out yo. All I can say is if it took a nuclear physicist to come up with a decent water gun, no wonder it took so damned long to for these bad boys to hit the market. Does anyone even buy the shitty little squirt guns anymore? Can you even get them? And if you can, why?
.
Well that's it for now . . . it's short, but at least the posts have been regular this week.
