Russian Statue vs. Denver Bear
I think the last thing going thru Donnas mind (other than a bear paw), was anger. She was probably yelling "I give you guys all this food, what the hell?!!!"— August 13, 2009 5:36 p.m.
What do LeBron James, Michelle Obama, and Jared have in common?
Went to some Italian place in Little Italy. Had an awesome panini. But yeah, those breadsticks at Oscars are addictive.— August 12, 2009 9:36 p.m.
What do LeBron James, Michelle Obama, and Jared have in common?
And I can't decide what to have for dinner! I'm addicted to those meatball subs at Subway. I always go there, thinking I'll be healthy and have a turkey wrap. But the smell of that bread cooking, makes the decision making process in my brain go all haywire.— August 12, 2009 6:28 p.m.
War of the Words
Pistol...Maybe you can explain why no reporter has "broken" this story, with all these "witnesses" that you claim. Surely someone can, and make millions and win awards, writing the book. Why haven't they? It's just conspiracy people that haven't really thought it thru. Let me ask you...how many people would be needed for this conspiracy to work? Let's say...at least 400. Right? Well, are you telling me, not ONE OF THESE 400 people is willing to tell a relative that's a journalist? Or call a newspaper, to get 15 minutes and 15 grand? Nope, wouldn't last. Someone would spill the beans. I did love your line about the expensive toilet seats. I remember always hearing about the things the military would buy; ash trays for $800, and I'd think...I just won an ashtray at the fair by throwing a quarter into it! Anywhooo...even over an 18 year career for a pilot, how does that equal $25 million? The fuel for the plane? The teachers of the school? The pilots salary is probably $75,000 a year. But that isn't "training" that's "salary". And the teachers are probably paid well, but they are teaching an entire class, not just one guy. The numbers don't add up to $25 million. If it did, everyone would be talking about the spending the military wastes on pilots alone.— August 12, 2009 5:06 p.m.
Driving Drunk Is Not Easy
Nothing wrong with it, storyteller. Nothing at all : - )- Pete, can't you just make your points in a way that sounds less juvenile? It hurts your credibility? The thing is...you probably have more common sense than SDaniels. But because she's college educated and likes to use the big words she knows, she probably attracts more attention at first. You come across like a Rush Limbaugh...loud and bombastic, and it turns people off. On all the various issues I've seen you both comment on, it seems you're both batting about .500.— August 12, 2009 5:01 p.m.
Steven Tyler and Eunice Shriver -- One is Dead. One Looks Dead.
Another good point, Russ. I figure, though...by the time these guys become that big, they have confidence in their singing, stage presence, and all that jazz. It's still funny when lead singers don't realize that a lot of their actions make them look idiotic. Like Axl Rose deciding to go onstage at 2:00 a.m., even though the crowd has waited for four hours. And he's wearing a goofy kilt or some other outfit, before yelling at someone in the crowd with a camera, and going out to "fight" that person. As if security would let that person even punch Rose once. So, we can laugh when they have their mishaps. I've seen Alice Cooper 3 or 4 times in concert. He always puts on a great show. But I heard him in an interview once say that he accidentally stabbed himself thru the thigh with a sword. Come on...who wouldn't laugh if they were at the concert and saw that? And yes, we'd all think it was part of the show. Until we heard him screaming and crying, and limping backstage.— August 12, 2009 4:56 p.m.
Golding's Grudge
The video will be up shortly. I was bummed that the idiotic editor working on this took out my line about how I had to wait until the family walked by, because wearing a trashbag, made me feel like someone Chris Hansen would jump out to interview. I was also bummed that I forgot about how many great outfits other people wore that I didn't get a chance to cover. One woman was wrapped entirely in that bubble wrap that you see in packages (and yes, everyone was popping her). A few people had approns from fast food places like Jack in the Box. One woman had a potato sack. I asked her if she was worried it would make her look fat and she said "There are some mashed potatoes in this sack." A cute teacher wore orange cones that you see on the street, over her chest. It looked like something Madonna might've worn in the early 90s. Another woman had martini glasses all over her hat. I asked if she was worried a drunk guy might try to fill them up. She told me her husband said people would if she did it with the red cups, which is why she switched to the martini glasses. She added, "With this crowd, they won't even know what these are. They might think it's a candelabra or something." I was also surprised that none of the people seemed to be inspired by any outfits Bruno wore in his latest movie.— August 12, 2009 4:27 p.m.
Driving Drunk Is Not Easy
Well Pete...I don't think SDaniels rethinks her stance on things. It's one of the things that makes me think less of her intelligence. But you have to agree, there are times censorship is needed, no? And speaking of the Packers, Aaron Rodgers was my QB last year in fantasy football. I hope to get him again this year.— August 12, 2009 10:35 a.m.
War of the Words
Okay, Pete...I just read that link. The fact that a Colonel is estimating that, gives it a little credibility. But I still don't buy it. If having a pilot being properly trained in the military, costs us $25,000,000...then we're stupid to even spent the money we do on the military. And I know, it's always the Democrats that want cuts in the military. And I do understand the importance of the military and having a strong military. But that's exactly why I realize that it doesn't cost $25,000,000 to train pilots. It costs $25,000,000 when they crash a plane and have to parachute out. But not for their training.— August 12, 2009 10:32 a.m.
War of the Words
I've noticed that...a lot of people on here have been commenting on being robbed lately. And Spliff is nowhere to be found. COINCIDENCE?!?!!?!?!??!?!!?!?!?!— August 12, 2009 10:26 a.m.
