| Greatest Movie in 100 Years... |
...with Tara Reid.
Seriously, if you don't know what I'm talking about you missed it but you still can see the trailer. Yep. It's even better than Sharkapus. SciFi aka SyFy channel has outdone themselves this time. The more absurd the plot the more washed up movie stars want in. And the special effects fantastic.
That's the meme of the week, it's all I've got.
Engagement Congratulations!
Well, we have our first engagement of people who met at HOH Nation...that I know of. (And according to their website) A very special congratulations Thomas Vaughn & Erin Taylor Standefer on their engagement! Thomas is a geek and even made a website about their courtship. Send them a congrats if you see them in person or on Facebook.
Birthdays
It's your birthday and let's celebrate it! I pull your birthdays from your email info so make sure you’re up-to-date.
Belated: Anna Van Mol (July 7) and Manuel Glaze (July 9)
Today/Saturday: Bryce Moore (July 12)
Final Thoughts
It's going to be a bit warm but there's no chance of rain for tonight. I consider the 4th of July the mid-point of summer, meaning it's all downhill from here so let's make the most of it! Start your weekend off right at HOH Nation happy hour and if I don't see you have a great safe weekend!

| Beverage Fact of the Week |
|
|
 |
You know how hard it is to find a new beer or liquor fact 52 weeks a year. The first 3 pages of Google are visited links. Google probably thinks I drink a lot.
The term 'toddlers' originated in England. There were impurities in the drinking water that disallowed the water to be used for drinking. A common alternative drink was beer (it was cheap, plentiful and the water used to make it was treated during the initial boiling during brewing). Toddlers, just weaning off of mothers milk were unaccustomed to the effects of beer. This coupled with the fact that they were just learning how to walk really made them toddle. |
