Sadie Hawkins first comes to mind as girls asking boys to dance. The normal way being boys asking girls to dance.
Sadie Hawkins was not a real person. She was a comic strip creation dreamed up by cartoonist Al Capp in the late 1930s for his wildly popular Li’l Abner.
Sadie Hawkins was the “homeliest girl in all the hills.” Her father thought she would never marry. She was 35 and not yet asked. He invented Sadie Hawkins Day. Sadie chased all the bachelors in Dogpatch. Whoever she caught had to marry her.
Sadie’s father ran a new Sadie Hawkins Day Race every year till 1952 when she caught Li’l Abner.
Sadie Hawkins Day has become a major social event. Every year. Big time! Fun time!
Trump announced he will send 5,000 more troops to Poland. Why? Recent Trump Administration moves indicated a reduction of U.S. troops in Europe.
Trump’s move surprised even the Pentagon.
It may reflect Trump’s being upset with European nations not supporting the Iran War. Not “stepping up” when needed. Some believe it is to help the Ukraine.
Who knows? Confusing!
Donald Trump Jr. is getting married this weekend in the Bahamas. Married first in a private home service yesterday in West Palm Beach. His father the President has announced he will not be attending the wedding…..either event. He is tired and too busy. The U.S. he claims comes first. Specifically, Trump claims his failure to attend is because of “circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America.”
Strange. Sounds like typical Trump bullshit.
Jr. is upset Dad is not attending.
Las Vegas is in desperate need of tourists. A new gimmick to attract tourists: Free gasoline for out of state tourists.
Teens are losing critical sleep. Reason: Phone use after midnight.
Trump tried to silence late night hosts. His attempts a failure. The hosts are mocking him even worse.
Civil Rights is taking a beating under Trump. The greatest decimation of Black political power in over a century has taken place.
Montreal strippers call for a strike day during Canadian Grand Prix weekend. The ladies say it is “the most lucrative period of the year.”
Six subjects no longer taught in U.S. high schools: Latin, shorthand, shop, home economics, food pyramid, and food wheel.
I took the first two. Three years of Latin. Glad I did. Helped me tremendously with English subjects and words. Shorthand only one year. To assist me in taking class notes when I attended college.
Trumps graduation speech to the Coast Guard a joke. Terrible! He even mentioned being President in 2032.
Economic confidence is plunging.
The Washington, D.C. July Fourth show will have a record breaking 860,000 fireworks.
Americans dial 911 in an emergency situation. The number began use in the 1960s. Why 911? The United Kingdom had been using 999 since 1937. Appeared to be a good idea. We went for 911. A success!
Enjoy your day!
