• "... Yada-Yada ...": This is a famous episode from "Seinfeld," first broadcast in 1997:

  GEORGE: Listen to this. Marcy comes up and she tells me her ex-boyfriend was over late last night, and "yada yada yada, I'm really tired today." You don't think she yada yada'd sex.

  ELAINE: (Raising hand) I've yada yada'd sex.

  GEORGE: Really?

  ELAINE: Yeah. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the lobster bisque, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again.

  JERRY: But you yada yada'd over the best part.

  ELAINE: No, I mentioned the bisque.

• "...Curly, Moe & Larry ...":
  The Three Stooges, .Curly and Moe Howard, and Larry Fine. Although comparing Dean, Kerry & Edwards to the Three Stooges is really not fair
  ... to the Three Stooges.

• "... Des Moines River ...": There really is a Des Moines River. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition:

  The Des Moines River is] 535 mi (861 km) long, rising in SW Minn. and flowing SE across Iowa to the Mississippi River at[ Keokuk, SE Iowa. Flowing through fertile farmland, the river floods in the spring and is nearly dry in late September; dams were constructed to regulate its flow. It is the main source of water for Des Moines, Iowa.

  I didn't say it was an exciting river.

• Mullfoto of the Day
  
  
  
  
  If you wonder why I go to places like Lafayette, Louisiana; this is a photo from my office window.

  That whitish building on the right? That would be the World Bank Building - one of the buildings which was included in the "Code Orange" warning by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge last week.

  Say, how about a nice kayaking trip down the Des Moines River?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Catchy Caption of the Day

  
  ACTUAL CAPTION:

  "Water balloon fight. Some 350 German youths staged what they called the world's biggest water-balloon fight over the weekend, soaking each other with 7,850 balloons in less than three minutes."

  It's like I always say, you want fun? You gotta get a bunch of Germans together. I'm telling you, you're gonna get some fun!
