Racism in the News

·

Last week, maybe the week before, the New York Post had a cartoon that showed cops shooting a chimp. It was right after police had to kill the ape living with that woman in Jersey (thinking about it...if your an …

Sketch Artists, Homeless, and Jobless.

·

This morning I'm dropping my dog off at his day care, and a homeless guy attacked me. I was running across the street with my dog, because cars were waiting to turn. And I know when I'm in a car, …

Greatest Sports Movies Ever

·

The LA Times did a list of the best football movies right before the Super Bowl. And that, combined with the Oscars, got me thinking about my favorite sports films. So, I thought I'd write a blog listing my 20 …

The Dog Blog -- Furry Tales

·

My girlfriend and I went to see comedian Jim Breuer, the former Saturday Night Live and Half-Baked star. He was at the Improv in Irvine. His set wasn’t very good (one of the opening comedians was actually funnier). But he …

Oscar Re-Cap

·

I'm not going to talk about what people wear. I always thought that element was lame (but what the hell was with Goldie Hawns outfit?) When watching the show last night, I saw Valentino talking. I thought it would've been …

Bungling Bicycle Burglars

·

Burglary stories are always fun to blog about. Probably more fun to watch on those shows that catch the crooks on camera. In Bellevue last week, a man made sure a couple burglars in his house didn't get away. No...he …

McDonald's in the News...and Domestic Abuse

·

I woke up this morning at 10:30. I grabbed the paper from outside, and turn on the news. My girlfriend is out walking the dog. And a few stories catch my eye. The first says that singer Rhianna might be …

What do Michael Jackson, Obama, and Ghandi all have in common?

·

Since I collect music memorabilia, I can appreciate when I hear about things being auctioned off. George Michaels paid a million bucks for the white piano John Lennon owned (and wrote "Imagine" on). I would've paid that if I had …

Juries and Court Cases

·

I couldn't believe after two days of deliberation, the jury came back in this firefighters case, and did the right thing. They awarded those four firefighters that were forced to be in the gay pride parade, around $34,000 between them. …

Furious George -- Chimps Gone Wild!

·

You know how you laugh at something you shouldn't? A person might walk into a glass door they didn't notice was shut, and they're visibly hurt. But you laugh. I had one of those moments when I was heading home …

The Oscar Pool

·

A few of my friends think I have a gambling problem. I don't. I love betting on football. I used to love betting on boxing. But when I bet $100 on Evander Holyfield to lose a fight, and he clearly …

We'll Be in the Hudson -- Airplane Landing on Water

·

I have three friends named Joe. And Joe #1 (meaning, not that he's my favorite of the Joes, just the one I've known the longest)...he hates every movie he sees. At first I just thought he was really strict with …

Let's Get Physical -- with Newton-John!

·

It wasn't my recent blog that mentioned a few 70s songs that got me thinking of Olivia Newton-John. It was a few other things. On the news the other day, they said authorities think they located her ex-boyfriend. If you …

Fox on the Run

·

Ah, the memories I have about the word "fox" from being a kid in the 70s. There was the cheesy song by Sweet (or as one of my friends called them "The Sweet"). Sweet was one of those bands that …

Python Parents Arrested

I can't believe it. Finally, the authorities arrest a parent that deserves it. In Las Vegas a few days ago, I read this story. Now on the news, I hear the parents were arrested. Their 3-year-old boy was attacked by …

Late Night Laughs

I love watching Letterman and Conan, and going to Jimmy Kimmel during the commercials. Last night, Paula Abdul was a guest on Leno, whose show I never watch (unless there's a commercial on the other channels and I actually know …

Valentine's Day Coming Up (the perfect VD story)

·

I met someone at a coffee shop for lunch, and grabbed an Espresso. Not the drink, but the large paper you see at local coffee shops. They have some of those interesting stories I enjoy reading. One about a death …

Psychics (and the idiots that use them)

·

I had the Dr. Laura show on for only about three minutes today in my car. I swear. She is so annoying doing that show, but there's a morbid curiosity about hearing the ding bats that call in for advice. …

Detour for Desserts (I hate cupcakes)

·

I guess I should clarify the title. I actually love cupcakes. What's not to love? What I hate are these places that sell fancy cupcakes. It all started six months ago. My mom made cupcakes with coconut on the top. …

Yet Another Dog Blog

My stepbrother had a German Shephard. And he hates small dogs. He's been giving me endless amounts of crap for getting a small pooch. But damn, those small dogs are so cute. Who hasn't walked into a pet store and …

Baseball Managers & Drunk Chargers

I'm not much of a baseball fan, so when a lot of the sports stations were talking about former Yankee manager Joe Torre and his book, I didn't really care. I would see him on a few of the talk …

Crazy Celebs -- The Christian Bale/Etta James edition

I was listening to Etta James rant on a few of the entertainment shows. Boy did she sound wacky. Or, whack, as the kids would say. Why does she care so much that Beyonce sang her wonderful song "At Last" …

What's Your Sign?

I remember in 5th grade, my friends and I talking about what you'd say to get a girl to go out with you. I know, it sounds silly. The girls were playing jump rope and four square, but we were …

Michael Phelps Revisited -- And a Poker Game Bust

Wow...I'm eating some breakfast and I have The View on. Those ladies are really hard to take. I think they might have a combined IQ of 85. Well, wait...I can't really say that. I know for a fact that Whoopi …

Michael Phelps -- 8 Gold Medals, 2 Drug Busts

Michael Phelps was all over the news. There were photos with his face buried in a bong. It was a good look for him. He's kinda goofy looking in other pictures I've seen. It's really strange that these celebrities don't …

There Was a Young Lady That Lived in a Shoe...

By now everyone has heard the story. I hadn't even planned on blogging on it, because I don't even know where to start. The woman that gave birth to octuplets. Apparently, all 14 of her children were conceived via vitro …

So the last time I wrote about the dog, we were second on the list to get this little white puffy bundle of fur. It was a matlepoo, and we were second on the list. I had planned to show …
