Milk Does a Body Good

We at WSAZ decided there just isn’t enough stuff on the Internet, so we came to the decision that it was time for me, part-time photographer Andrew Colegrove , to get my very own blog on our Webchannel, WSAZ.com.

“But why would I ever want to read this?” you may be asking, if you have made it this far.

Well, I really don’t know, but let me just say it is a great honor to have a blog on the same Webchannel as the legendary Tony Cavalier , whose blogging has set an enormously high standard. I figure my own blog will have to be up at least a week or two before it’s as popular as his.

Allow me to use this debut blog to explain why it’s titled “Milk Money.” My boss realized what a big fan of milk I am, so he thought incorporating milk into the title would be good. I don’t guess it’s that interesting of a back story, but I felt you had a right to know.

Milk truly is wonderful, don’t you think?   Not only does the liquid symbolize the nurturing relationship between a mother and child, its taste evokes such pleasure in the brain and stomach that it is a wonder there is so much pain and misery in the world. If everyone just spent more time drinking milk, I doubt we'd have some of these problems we've seen. Maybe the tyrant Augusto Pinochet was lactose intolerant.

Truth be told, I have never had a bad experience with milk, unless you count that time a wicked mobster tied me up in his basement and beat me repeatedly, and not even once did he grant me a request for a glass of milk. My persistent requests drove him to pour a glass of milk on all over me, and then he smashed the glass against my head. Haha, very funny.

Milk truly is beautiful. I don't think you could ever ask to see anything more beautiful than a newborn goat sucking from his caring mother's teet. Also, there is a pretty girl sitting on the mother goat holding a framed picture of a bottle of milk.

Another cool thing about milk is that in the movie "Ernest Scared Stupid," Ernest was able to kill the evil trolls by throwing milk on them. I hope whoever wrote that script lit a cigar when he came up with that idea.

Not all cinematic moments with milk are positive, however. You might remember a scene in the Harrison Ford film “Witness” when one of the bad guys hits an Amish man, causing him to spill two containers of milk! I sincerely hope they only had to do one take of that scene.

Well, I seem to have trailed a bit. What I really want to focus on in this blog is New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. I think he did the right thing by stepping down and resigning.

Posted by: Rhonda I love the name of your blog although I don't drink milk. I used to drink it when the milkman brought it to the house in bottles. Oh those were the days. I know it's quirky but something about that big ugly plastic jug revolts me. The Kroger's in Barboursville has milk in bottles and it is lucious but it's a little pricey. I like a good cold glass of Donald Duck orange juice in the morning because it reminds me of the days when I was a little girl living in Apopka, Florida in the middle of orange groves. The Donald Duck factory owned them but we could pick oranges anytime....I guess it was okay. I like to think I am repaying them for all those oranges by buying their product now.I will enjoy reading your blog regularly.

Posted by: Tom Cat Milky! I hope there will be no more immoral mayors like him.

Posted by: claudia I LOVE milk too! If you haven't tried it yet, you gotta try some "organic" milk. It's delicious! It's like having your very own cow in your refrigerator. By the way, who's Tony Cavalier?

Posted by: Hammer Get your next blog out Andrew. By the way, how many words ryme with blog?

Posted by: Danny Hey Captain Cat, this is Danny. I just wanted to let you know that I turned out fine. I appreciate your concern.

Posted by: Texas Ted Good job Andrew-did you know that milk drinking is the real success story behind Salad Fingers?

Posted by: Unk If you milk your goat onto bare ground, her milk will dry up. No more goat cheese on your fillet.

Posted by: Seer Did you hear about the Milk man that got a route in Mingo County? After one day at work he got embarrested and quit.

Posted by: Anonymous milk id amazing stuff. kinda expenisive though. they act like there is only 1 milk cow on earth thats left.

Posted by: Captain Cat Your blog really reminds me of the time I saw a picture of a missing boy named Danny on a carton of milk. I spent the next few weeks keeping my eyes open for Danny, but I never did see him. I hope he turned out ok.

Posted by: John You probably like milk because you sang the Brady Bunch song all the time!

Posted by: amused I agree, you are cute,.... and funny. But,.... I hate milk.

Posted by: Confused Viewer Who cares what the man does in his spare time??? Nothing more than a lot of men do. Just because he's in a higher office...It's a personal matter.

Posted by: Rose I believe that Spitzer did the right thing by resigning. However, I don't think it matters much because the "politician" that takes his place will be just as corrupt. "Honest Politician" is truly an oxymoron. Oh yea! I love milk!

Posted by: are you serious? That was a whole 60 seconds of my life I'll never get back. So WSAZ really has nothing better to blog on than milk???

Posted by: Greedy Reader Hey, when are you going to write again? I keep checking but you're still not writting. Give us something man. Thanks!

Posted by: Up Late Fan Milky?

Posted by: "Kristen" Governor Spitzer should have stayed in office.

Posted by: Stacy Hi Andrew! I always check out the blogs, it gives me some reading material while I have down time at work. I saw your picture this morning and thought, wow, who's this new cutie, so that's how I got here. I can't completely agree about the milk thing. I myself don't care for milk (at all), but I understand your love for it. My love comes in the form of a little red can. Coca-Cola. I love Coke so much that I even like how it smells. Forget doing a taste test(although I would enjoy picking the coke) I could pick out coke's fragrence over any other soda, blindfolded. Most people have their morning cup of coffee, I have my morning can of coke. I even have one for dessert and right before bed. So you see, I can agree to the love of a beverage, and everyone is entitled their preferred drink. Enjoyed your sense of humor. Keep 'um coming for us. Glad to have you here with the rest of the great staff. And thanks for the new reading material!
