So It seems everywhere I turn these days,somebody is doing a top 10 list. Ive also had many people ask me lately what are your top 10 favorite movies,games,songs,candy,soda and the list goes on.

Each month I will do a different top 10 list starting in Feb.

What are some top 10 lists that you would like to see me do, as well as what are some of yours?

Secret Santa

It’s the time of year when we begin to hear stories of strangers performing random acts of kindness and this year, the town of Hyannis, Massachusetts is the beneficiary. A stranger who bears more than a passing resemblance to Santa Claus has been visiting local fast food restaurants and making gifts of crisp $100.00 bills to the employees.

Among the establishments that have received the surprise visits so far are MaryLou’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, Burger King and McDonald’s. Envelopes bearing the message, “Merry Christmas” were passed out to all the employees.

According to Karen Sanguedolce who manages the Dunkin’ Donuts, the man asked how many employees worked there and then counted out 19 envelopes and turned them over to her to distribute, saying he hoped she had a nice holiday. The experience left her pleasantly shocked.

One recipient at Dunkin’ Donuts is inspired by the gesture. Patrick Nee wants to do something similar when he is older and has the money to be able to do so.

Though this Santa-wannabe has left the fast food workers of Hyannis stunned, it isn’t the first time this has happened in the town. Clorissa DeCosta who works at Burger King said last year the envelopes contained $50.00. She said every employee working at the time of his visit gets an envelope.

No one knows the identity of the secret Santa and that is just how this generous stranger wants it to stay. The reasons why he does it are curious but unimportant. Aside from the monetary gift, he is giving the gift of the spirit of Christmas and that is priceless.

Hey Mon How Many Jobs You Got?

I love that skit from In Living Color called “Hey Mon!,” in which the members a Jamaican family, the Hedley’s, have many jobs The show always starts with the father greeting the audience with, “Hey Mon!” followed soon thereafter by, “How many jobs you got?”

So I did some research and found that the average person will have from anywhere from 5-15 Jobs in their lifetime.

So How many Jobs have you had Mon?

What was your first Job ever?

 

I have had 8 so far. My first was 2 paper routes.

Mcdonalds Condoms

By Jonathan Stempel

Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:14am EDT

(Reuters) – McDonald’s Corp has been sued by a woman who said her two-year-old son ate a used condom he found in the play area of one of its restaurants in Chicago.

Anishi Spencer filed the complaint against the fast-food restaurant chain on Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of herself and her sons, Jonathan Hines and Jacquel Hines.

According to the complaint, Spencer and her sons were at a McDonald’s restaurant in Chicago’s South Side on February 4, 2012 when Jacquel picked up the used condom from the floor, and shortly thereafter coughed up a piece of it.

Both boys required medical care, and have suffered lasting injuries, pain and discomfort, the complaint said.

Spencer accused McDonald’s of negligence for failing to clean hazardous debris from the play area, and failing to use appropriate security measures to help uncover “deviant activities.” The lawsuit seeks at least $50,000 of damages.

“This is a very disgusting case,” Jeffrey Deutschman, a lawyer for Spencer and her sons at Deutschman & Associates in Chicago, said in a phone interview.

He said he tried to settle, but was unable to do so after having to deal with “layers and layers” of bureaucracy at McDonald’s, which is based in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Do you believe her or not? What are your thoughts on this?

Tatooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. The title of the show should have been my first clue. But I must admit I actually enjoyed it much more that power rangers. Does any one else remember or want to admit they remember this show?

I Like Pigs Blood The Best

By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor
Just when it seems like “My Strange Addiction” has showcased the oddest habits out there — from a woman who eats cat fur to a man who really (really) loves his car — the show reveals a new, peculiar and particularly distasteful obsession.
In the upcoming season finale, viewers will meet Michelle, a woman who can’t seem to quench her thirst for blood.
“I like to drink blood when I’m reading, when I’m relaxing, when I’m watching TV, when I’m painting — there’s never a bad time for me to drink blood,” the 29-year-old tattoo artist explained.

And in addition to enjoying the nectar of life in virtually every setting, Michelle also likes it in just about any form.
“I wake up in the morning, I pour it into my coffee cup,” she said. “I like to cook with blood. I like to make it in soup. I like to cook it with stir-fry…. When I make Bloody Marys, I use vodka, hot sauce and then I add the final touch — the blood.”

In fact, Michelle, who claims to get irritable if her favorite drink isn’t on hand, goes through about a liter of blood per day to satisfy her cravings — that makes for nearly 1,000 gallons over the last 10 years. And not just any blood will do for the sanguinarian.
“I prefer pig’s blood to beef blood, because I prefer the gaminess,” Michelle said. “It’s a little bit more salty than the beef blood. The consistency is like that of wine. It’s just slightly thicker.”
And much bloodier.
See just how far Michelle’s thirst for blood goes, and find out whether or not she really wants to kick the habit, when the season finale of “My Strange Addiction” airs Wednesday, March 20 at 9 p.m. on TLC.
