HERE COMES THE SUN
billy McCartney ensured his 3,000th gig wasn't a wash-out.
A whopping pounds 20,000 was spent arranging for three jets to spray clouds with dry ice above the venue in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the star, who turned 62 on Saturday, was playing for the first time.
The operation to hold the water in the clouds worked, and sunshine broke through just minutes before McCartney went on stage to the cheers of 100,000 fans.
A similar technique was used successfully by Russian president Vladimir Putin ahead of the city's 300th anniversary.

Wow. At this point, he could ask for the moon and they would try to please. I guess St. Petersburg was enjoying a bit of Faul weather.  ;D |

YSM2 - Isn't it hilarious!!! WMWY - ABBEY is without a computer right now. I'm on the phone with her & she wanted me to tell you this: No, I'm not bitter. I'm just beautiful ;D Back to the matter at hand - that old man is so dried out he looks like a raisin. I'd say prune, but he's waaaaaaay past that point! I'd say he needs plastic surgery, but I THINK he's had too much already! Actually, if they pulled his face any tighter, he'd have some funny attachments hanging from his chin   |

He could paint 'em red and say Merry Christmas!
And Oil of Olay works wonders. One trick my theatre friends use sometimes after a hard week is a little Preparation H under the eyes (carefully apply, please, none IN eye, please). If it'll tighten you up at one end it sure oughtta tighten things up at the other.
Tell people it's Neutragena and they'll never know the difference. Just say "no" to those harsh, drying astringents.
But whaddo I know. Some mornings I look like my face caught on fire and they tried to put it out with an icepick.

Perplexed - I can't believe that. You are a good looking man. I LOVE what you wrote. YOU are hilarious! ;D
About Preparation H, that's my significan't others ace in the hole. Whenever he talks about bags under the eyes, he always talks about people using it to reduce the swelling. I guess great minds think alike ;D
