BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
Refried: Not sure how much of a pro Ed really was. A few times he showed up on the set drunk. Dennis Miller even played a clip that was baffling. Carson was setting up an appearance by Joan Embry, and saying she worked for the San Diego Zoo and has been coming on for "7 or 8 years". Ed yells "nine!!!" Carson says, "Excuse me?" And he yells "Nine years. She's been coming here nine years." Carson replies, "Uh...that's what I said." To which Ed gripes, "You said 7 or 8, but it's 9. There are animals she brought here as babies, that are now 10 year old, ferocious tigers." The crowd laughs, and Carson tries to move on, and Ed then says, "You're making me mad now! I've actually gone to that zoo. You never did."— June 25, 2009 6:32 p.m.

Yes, Gringo. I'm searching for Kurt Vonnegut Cliff Notes, as we speak! I just did the Michael Jackson blog. I intended to be nice, but here's what happened. Callers on TV shows were crying, as if it was Mother Theresa that passed away. And then I heard Al Sharpton speak, and I think I got sick to my stomach at that sight. And, that's what inspired the writing that came out of my computer. Sorry if I offend anyone with it.— June 25, 2009 4:46 p.m.
Conspiracy Theories
Spliff, I'll actually give you a bit of credit on this one. You had a strong opening, with your comment on me ruining everyday just by "waking up." You also had an amazing closing snap, with the happy mothers day. Nice. I don't know enough about the 9/11 details, as it happened a long time ago now. But...what if the hijackers, with their boxcutters, also told the crowd "do as we say, because we have bombs planted around the plane. if you make any sudden movements, we blow up the plane." Nobody on board would be able to call that bluff, so the best option might just be to stay seated.— June 25, 2009 3:51 p.m.
Oceanside Cop Back to Work
Hey...I actually like that idea, Spliff. Let a person get up there and defend themself, without a lawyer and in front of a judge. There are obviously problems with that, but I like it nonetheless.— June 25, 2009 3:45 p.m.
I'm So Glaad
Dang it! When I typed this blog up, I put the asterisk in place of the "gg". So, it should've looked like "fa**ot". Not sure how those disappeared. But rickey...if you read the blog carefully, I address that issue. But, you are incorrect, as Perez was calling will.i.am, the "f word". He wasn't calling another gay person that. And he was saying it to provoke a response. Which he got!— June 25, 2009 3:43 p.m.

The worst invention...the nose created for Michael Jackson. They said he wasn't breathing when they showed up. I wondered if they just popped his nose off, and tried to give him air thru that (what? too soon?)— June 25, 2009 3:40 p.m.
Top 10 -- Famous Dead People You'd Like to Meet
One more thing...with tiki posting that comment about no respect, even in death...I thought about how Rodney probably has some great tombstone. Maybe something like "I told them I was sick. They sent me to Dr. Vinnyboombotz..."— June 25, 2009 7:38 a.m.
Top 10 -- Famous Dead People You'd Like to Meet
Rodney would be a great person to meet. Not only because he's funny...but he has a bunch of stories dating back to appearances on Ed Sullivan, to hosting those "young comedian" shows on HBO, where people like Bob Saget, Sam Kinison, and others...got their start. It would be a blast. As for Morrison...he was kind of shy if he didn't have his alcohol, so I'm not sure that would work well.— June 25, 2009 7:36 a.m.
The Dog Blog -- A Walk in the Park
Dogs seem to do this all the time. They're awesome. Now, picture a cat in this scenario. It would've just slyly left the home, saving only its own hide. Of course, once your house burned down and got rebuilt, it would be back meowing outside on the porch, for you to let it in and feed its furry butt.— June 25, 2009 7:34 a.m.
Weddings
I usually like when a bunch of women pile on me. They women were well behaved. No politically debates. And, the other guy in group, refriedgringo, is actually a helluva lot more interesting than I thought he'd be (talk about the backhanded compliment of the year). I'll be writing about the gang soon, in a future Crasher.— June 25, 2009 7:33 a.m.
