Make Tuesdays Great Again

Let's face it, Tuesdays are usually a blah day. We got over Monday, but there is still a LONG way to go until the weekend...and you know that EVERYBODY'S workin' for the weekend!

Well, I'm not, because I'm like a car that just came from the Goodyear shop...re-tired! Get it? Re...never mind.

If you're like me, and think Tuesdays are dull, lifeless, boring, uneventful...listen to this. Uh, I guess you can't really LISTEN to this, but you know what I mean, don't ya? Maybe not.

Some things that happened on a Tuesday...

• Tuesday, October 29, 1929- Black Tuesday Stock Market Crash
• Tuesday, June 6, 1944- Allied Forces Land D-Day Military Attack during WWII
• Tuesday, August 16, 1977- Death of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley
• Tuesday, March 13, 1781- Discovery of Uranus
• Tuesday, January 28, 1986- Space Shuttle Challenger Explodes After Liftoff on Live Television
• Tuesday, November 4, 2008- Barack Obama elected First African American President of the United States

Whoa! It looks like there is only one thing listed here that is positive. The discovery of Uranus. 

This is supposed to be Uranus, but it looks fake to me.

Which brings up a little irritating thing for me. Like, why do THEY keep changing things we were taught when I was in that one room school house on the prairie?!

Uranus used to be pronounced Ur-ANUS, with the emphasis on the anus. Now, THEY say it's pronounced UR-anus, with the emphasis on the UR!

Who did this? Someone embarrassed about putting the emphasis on the ANUS?!! Get over it! We're not in the 4th grade! 

Another one is aunt. Everybody (at least in America) used to pronounce aunt like ant! Now, more and more folks use the British pronunciation of ont! What happened?!! Too many British movies? Some even say, onty! Sorry, but a little too fancy sounding to me. 

Wuthering Heights Movie 

It' really sounds funny to me (just my personal opinion) when a giant, mean looking linebacker, on a pro football team, says, "I'd like to say hi to my dear onty, from UR-anus, Ohio."

I don't know if there is a Uranus, Ohio, but you get my point, right? Maybe not. 

I know there is a Jupiter, Florida, and Earth City, near St. Louis, but I don't know about the other planets. If you know other places named after a planet, let me know in the comments section.

What was my initial subject? I lost track for a minute.  Umm, TUESDAY!! That's it, TUESDAY!!

Remember Tuesday Weld from the Dobie Gillis Show? Oh, my! I was only a kid, but I had a major crush on her! In fact, I was only 9 to 13 years old when the show aired on TV, but, well...

Enough said.

Of course we can't discuss Tuesday without one of my favorite songs by the Boody Mlues...

I know what you're thinkin'..."Danny boy, you've put this song on your blog a million times, why AGAIN?"

Okay, you are correct...but how many times have you hunkered down and listened closely to this iconic song on a TUESDAY, hmmm?!

You should do it today! It will make you feel better! I guarantee it!

Anyway, have a tremendous, terrific Tuesday!!!
