‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson, Dead at Age 50; Farrah Fawcett, Dead at Age 62…

[singlepic id=98 w=320 h=240 float=left] The entertainment industry has lost two great figures today. Farrah Fawcett, first catapulted to fame with “Charlie’s Angels” and Michael Jackson, the king of pop.

Official reports state that Jackson died of a heart attack, with Farrah Fawcett passing on after a long battle with anal cancer. [singlepic id=97 w=320 h=240 float=right]

I vividly remember the first time I saw the ‘Thriller” video, and used to go around clutching my copy of the ‘Thriller” album (and if I could find it would probably be worth a lot more now). Michael Jackson, no matter how you viewed his personal life, was an icon of song and dance, with a career spanning a lifetime. His “Thriller” album won eight Grammy’s and was the best selling album of all time. He pioneered the “moonwalk” along with many other milestones in the music industry.

Bridge to Hawaii

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, The Lord said,
‘Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant
you one wish.’

The biker pulled over and said, ‘Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride
over anytime I want.’

The Lord said, ‘Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required too reach
the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It
will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is
hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little
more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.’

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, ‘Lord, I
wish that I, and all men, could understand our wives; I want to know how
she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent
treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.

The Lord replied, ‘You want two lanes or four on that bridge?’

And The Best Movie Of All Time According To Yakkity Yaks Is……

It started just under a month ago here at Yakkity Yaks. One hundred movies were paired up against each other, tourney style, to see which one our devoted Yakksters would decide to be the best movie of all time. It was a hard fought battle, with a lot of blood, sweat and tears shed along the way. Comedy? Drama? Action? Sci Fi? Horror? Classic? Which one would it be?

Eventually it was narrowed down to our final two, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest vs. The Godfather Part II and then the Yakksters were given a week to vote on which one they thought was the best. And now we have a winner!! The best movie of all time, according to Yakkity Yaks is………….may I have the envelope please?

Saint Dagame’s Sermon

Greetings one and all please allow me to introduce myself.  I am Saint Dagame, patron saint of reality shows as well as high priest of the Church of Gina Gershon and today starts a new era for the Yak.  This is the first of many sermons that I will be giving to you, my adoring congregation, so remember this day because it will be one you will rejoice for decades to come.

I have decided to make this first sermon about tainting victories.  Did Apollo Creed ruin Rcoky’s title win?  Did the Patriots come up with conspiracy theories when they lost the Superbowl to the Giants?  Did Arnold Jackson make up excuses why he lost his fight with The Gooch?  The answer to all of the above is a resounding no, yet so many of you out there want to taint Kris Allen’s victory over Adam Lambert on American Idol by coming up with crazy conspiracy theories and downright nonsense so I’m here to set you straight.

Annoying commercial of the week…

OK all….I have decided to share my newly found irritation with the rest of you.  I understand that commercials are here to serve a purpose, to raise revenue, create jobs, etc.  Now, here is my issue.. I hate being held captive by these creations when they are stupid, asinine, or play on peoples fears. My first installment of most annoying commercial is the latter. It attempts to strike a fear in us so deep that we will be paralyzed by it until we call their number, purchase their product, and line their pockets. Then, and ONLY then, will we have peace in our homes forever…puuuuhleeeeease.

This weeks’  gem is brought to you by Brinks Home Security….who’s only interest is in our complete safety.

IStillRock out…..

Celebrities We’ve Lost

Here we are in May and we’ve already lost too many celebrities. While we are aware that we get older every year, it seems that we tend to forget that the celebrities we grew up watching age, as well. It’s likely that we remember them at the age that we last saw them, so at first thought, we’re shocked that they’ve passed. It’s very sad that their lives came to an end, but for most of them, they lived a long, successful life and passed on knowing that through the years they’ve entertained millions of people.
These are the people that we’ve lost in 2009: Continue reading “Celebrities We’ve Lost”
