13 THINGS YOUR WAITER WON'T TELL YOU



CLICK HERE for the entire list that includes...
 
1. Avoid eating out on holidays and Saturday nights. The sheer volume of customers guarantees that most kitchens will be pushed beyond their ability to produce a high-quality dish.
 
2. There are almost never any sick days in the restaurant business. A busboy with a kid to support isn't going to stay home and miss out on $100 because he's got strep throat. And these are the people handling your food.

RICK SPRINGFIELD LYRICAL GENIUS



Producer JC (a huge Rick Springfield fan) has a noticed a pattern in Rick's songs - his clever rhymes.  IE: from "Jessie's Girl": You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute, I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot.  Or from "I've Done Evertyhing For You":  Well, all you want is a whole lotta money. All the rest is jivin honey.  Rick Springfield, a modern day wordsmith.

ANIMAL SHELTER FORCED TO CLOSE


 
More than 80 dogs and cats may lose their lives if they don't find a new home by the end of the week.  Officials with the TLC Animal Rescue Center says the shelter near Decatur and Valley View Boulevards will shut down for good, and they hope other rescue organizations will take in the dozens of animals now behind held in the shelter.  But with a sluggish economy, the Nevada SPCA says other rescue facilities in Las Vegas are packed full.  The agency hopes local residents can give the dogs and cats from TLC a good home.  If you can help provide a home, or can care for the unadoptive animals, log onto nevadaspca.org

THE AREA CODE RATING SYSTEM


Forget rating a person on a scale of 1-10, you need to use the Area Code System. Here is how it works. Every human being on the planet can be adequately described using a three-digit number (i.e. area code). The first digit denotes the rating of how attractive the face is (0-9). The second digit describes whether you would sleep with that person or not (0=no, 1=yes). And finally, the third digit describes how attractive the person’s body is (0-9). It’s a discrete and yet simple way to judge others in public without actually meeting them.  CLICK HERE for more details and some celebrity ratings.
