The MoT Top 10: The Twenty-Eighth

General Hospital is the longest running American soap opera still in production and the third-longest running American drama. Wow, what interesting facts DeMi! (sarcastic excitement). Before we continue, it should be made clear that this Top 10 is not entirely about General Hospital. More fun facts: 12,987 episodes at 42 minutes each. It would take 376 days to watch every episode; longer still since it's still running. The point of this killer intro is if the writers of GH can continually recycle plot lines and revive deceased characters for over a year's worth of material, surely DeMi can bring back the Top 10.

Here are the Top 10 Things Younger Than General Hospital:

10) The Beatles in America

9) The NASDAQ exchange

8) Assassination of John F. Kennedy

7) MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech

6) The nanosecond - You couldn't have watched GH in nanoseconds, because you wouldn't have known what a nanosecond was

5) Our moms

4) The Clean Air Act

3) Women in space

2) Zip codes

1) Hepatitis-B vaccine - If a patient at General Hospital were diagnosed with Hep-B before 1980, they would be SOL.


Just Missed the Cut
Here are a few things that have been around slightly longer than GH:

Michael Jordan

Valium

Obama

The smiley face

This is the first smiley face design introduced to popular culture. That's right, the first fucking smiley. We only have content of the highest quality here at MoT.

Oblovious to my mutterings

Finally Lil' Wayne is out of jail and I can blog again. Achahah (Legit Wayne Laugh) <- A LWL. Lol. Except not (on two accounts), that was fucking pathetic. 

Reading my posts beforehand, I can see how damn hard it is to decipher what the hell I b saying. I've got no rhythm or rhyme, except when I do. -Translates to it's not supposed to be funny except when it is.

And that's usually my main point, to be funny. The easiest way for me to do that is random word association. Look at my previous post: http://musingsontap.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-can-only-imagine.html we have the line...

"On a different bill (perhaps a euro or a Clinton, or even a platypus"..

I'mma break it down for you....This is merely a transitional phrase, a play on the well-known phrase, "on a different note". Then in the parentheses I mock the utter ridiculousness of this stupid colloquialism and share humor with you by displaying different random associations of "note's" limited synonym "bill"

do you get me now...thought not

Delving Further (no joke intended or unintended) [bullshit, there is something always unintended..ie. she can say that..or Oscar could have said that]

seeee

see how after every 5 words there could be a joke/pop culture reference/innuendo?

It pains me to be so painfully obvious. 

It pains me people are so painfully oblivious.

Moving on...

I would like to:

Give a shout out to Mski. 

Eat turkey.

Watch the Packers beat the Falcons.

Argue with D-Money. About anything [how it's not "the" mski]

See North Korea's government wiped out by a massive uprising.

Listen to a new Blink song

not in that order.

So, one more time.

Perverted jokes abound.

Political comments abound.

Pop Culture References, no doubtedly...abound

Interesting anecdotes about De's life..abound.

Parallelism waz here

**Thee tags shall be thou guidestar** <-- no reference (your welcome)

Go and passively aggressively infringe on others' rights: It's what Obama wants you to do.

Dear GOP,

During the State of the Union, President Obama pleaded with the republican congressmen present for their cooperation in concocting a healthcare plan that provided evident improvement to the system currently in place. The republicans folded. Fast forward a few months, and Obama is signing the new healthcare bill into law, essentially the same bill he and the majority leaders introduced to Congress. Have you ever been to a wedding? When the minister asks those in attendance to, "Speak now or forever hold your peace", he or she is politely asking that if anyone sees a disaster coming, if this marriage is a potential train wreck, open your mouth. Is Obama's plan going to result in unmanageable debt for future generations? I pray to God it won't. The sensible choice is try something, so I must support this new law. This is not a difficult conclusion to reach when the alternative is considered. I could not support it, I could aspire to be just as those who continue to shit their pants over the price tag on this beast. Congressmen have health insurance that rivals the president's and could likely support the homeless community of D.C. with the money the government would save if they took on a plan that approached reasonableness.

Also, McCain, best of luck with what is hopefully a benign tumor on your face.
