The LuLac Edition #2099, June 22nd, 2012

"Maybe I'm Amazed" logo. 

MAYBE I’M AMAZED 

MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….at how people around here complain about 90 degree days as if it is the end of the world! It is summer, it gets hot, it gets humid and we get thunder storms. But as I’ve often said, and so many others including my friend Sue Henry’s mom, “you don’t have to shovel heat”. Enjoy the summer. It will go away sooner than you think and the dark, gray, cold death that is a LuLac winter will come soon enough. 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……........................that there seems to be talk of a move by private investors, and members of the public to see if they can buy WARM Radio from Cumulus Broadcasting.  
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……that the Wagon Wheel Restaurant in Shickshinny has fought all the way back from the devastating flood of 2011. To me it is the best family restaurant in Luzerne County. Fresh ingredients, good prices, relaxed atmosphere. And the fish fry was great. Good luck to the owners and staff who are coming back better than ever. 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that even though I don’t watch a scintilla of the NBA throughout the year, the final championship week gets my attention. I’m glad Lebron James won a title. Only because I have worn out story lines that carry from year to year speculating “Will he ever do it?” 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the bride grooms stick around even after the hysterical brides appearances  on TLC’s “Say Yes To the Dress” by their women folk.  I do not watch but Mrs. LuLac does and I can’t help but hear the overflow of the show. God save us all!!! 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the New York Daily News had the top New York Met team of all time. The all time manager was Davey Johnson instead of Gil Hodges. Johnson won in ’86, Hodges in ’69. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. But Hodges should’ve been named to the Hall of Fame too as a player. The team is 
 Catcher Mike Piazza 
1st base Keith Hernandez 
2nd base Edgardo Alfonso 
SS Jose Reyes 
3rd base David Wright 
LF Cleon Jones 
CF Carlos Beltran 
RF Darryl Strawberry 
RH Starter Tom Seaver 
LH Starter Jerry Koosman 
RF Reliever Roger McDowell 
LH Reliever Tug McGraw 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…that Texas Outfielder Josh Hamilton has succumbed to the Sports Illustrated curse. Since appearing on SI in early June, Hamilton who had the greatest start of any player in 80 years has hit only .211 with 12 strikeouts. Stay off that magazine. Stay off that magazine unless you’re a super model. 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the feds had a series of Jerry Sandusky’s other victims waiting in case they lost the case they built against the former Penn State coach. One of the most stunning announcements was that Sandusky’s own adopted son was one of the victims.

I know of one NBA Star, a Rookie of the Year, who has been in the league since 1970. He moved into management and currently is the President of Basketball Operationns for a team. He never won a Championship and it doesnt look like he will in a 42 year career! The media and a lot of "fans" act as if MeBron was entitled to a Championship. He wasnt and his win has come in a strike shortened season. That puts an asterisk on it. MeBron is lower than low class. He changed to #6 because he said nobody famous wore that number. Guess MeBron never heard of the greatest and most prolific Basketball Champ of all time, Bill Russell. He has 11! Plus Olympic Gold and a National College Championship.Count em, son 11 and a college degree. He did it as a team player with a TEAM. And dont try to tell me there werent other big men around then. Ever hear of Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond or Walt Bellamy? Lets see how many this selfish ass and his gang of hired hands wind up with. Looks like one and done to me. The Thunder is the team of the future.

MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the bridge grooms

Pretty tough sometimes, to figure out what the fark you are trying to say through all your typos, wrong spellings and excruciating grammer.

Two words: P R O O F R E A D.

or at the very least let another set of eyes look over your writing.

Would have helped your books, bigtime!

Glad Pete cleared that up about being a Cavs fan, but it wasnt totally necessary.
Bottom line is championship or not LeBron is a jerk. A shinning example of the pampered athlete who doesnt get it and never will.
The NBA by the way is currently 72%Black, 18% Foreign and 10% White. Not really much incentive for the disappearing middle class to care about. Thats not racist, just factual stats.

I am Mario Fiorucci and I have been subjected to incredible harassment both physical and personal. These people, including an evil mayor I fought for years until he got taken out by bank fraud charges, have ruined my career in financial services. I have been attacked three times, and only filed charges once, and they got off as I didn't get notice of hearing. Plus, I am threatened to be shot if I go on many people's porches to hand out my newsletter. Like R.King said, Can't we all get along>
