Sweet Dreams
Well Ponz, the amount of women I've argued that with. They tell me crap like "But...I'm so Aquarius. All those traits, are exactly like me." I always use the Charles Manson defense. I say, "He's an Aquarius, too." There's usually silence, and they have some explanation. I then tell them I don't know Mansons sign, but that I'm sure there are killers, robberts, or whatever, that are the same sign as them. And, what would explain that? There's a live Doors album, that has the greatest clip. These groupies are yelling stuff from the first row, about how sexy he is, and things of that nature. Morrison says, "I don't know how many of you out there know anything about astrology..." One girl immediately interrupts with, "I do. You're a sagatarius. So am I!" He says, "that's right, baby. I am a Sagatarius, the most philosophic of all signs. But, I think it's a bunch of b******t myself!" Then you hear this girly voice say, "So do I." It's classic.— April 27, 2008 11:42 p.m.

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic. But, the funny thing, it always takes me a few seconds to remember. Because I tell people it so infrequently. I'm a Libra. I knew a guy named Leo in 6th grade...big Samoan kid, was 6 feet tall at that time. I remember asking him if he was a "Leo" and he said, "Yeah, it's my name, dork." And I said, "No..your sign." He said, "What's a sign?" It was like a zodiac version of who's on first.— April 27, 2008 1:33 a.m.
Titanic Auction Items
I just saw on one auction site...a letter from Gloria Stuart, who played old Rose, in the Titanic film. It had an opening bid of $10. And, nobody had bid on it. Funny.— April 26, 2008 12:45 p.m.
Bond. James Bond.
Update #2: It wasn't the Aston Marton that crashed, but an Alfa R.— April 26, 2008 12:44 p.m.
White Trash -- Edgar Winter's Band
That's hysterical. I, must admit, I love the comma. It's because, I want someone to read the sentence with the proper pause in it. As if I'm speaking those words. What I hate, is when people use the !!!!!! Why send me an email and say "How are you!!!!" That should be a question mark. Only use the exclamation point, if you're saying "Shark!" and I'm in the ocean. And, why does nobody use the semi-colon? That is an under used piece of grammar.— April 26, 2008 12:43 p.m.
Wesley Snipes, Miley Cyrus, and the Big Bad Bear
No, you got that wrong. They don't usually find "God." They find Jesus. Jesus Rodriguez, their cellmate.— April 25, 2008 12:34 a.m.
Bond. James Bond.
James Bond car update: I heard on KGBs morning show, that the stuntman driving a car in the Bond movie (I don't know if it was the Aston), crashed. I think he was hurt really bad, too.— April 24, 2008 4:40 p.m.
What has been your worst experience with the police?
Robert Blake. That's it!— April 23, 2008 8:25 a.m.
They'd Think I Had 'Roid Rage
I think that was from a different story in the Reader. We fixed the online problem.— April 22, 2008 9:34 a.m.
Arsenic and No Trace
Unfortunately, I don't believe in karma. But yeah, I think there's not enough evidence to convict her. But, the "beyond a reasonable doubt" is often misunderstood by people. I read in Christopher Dardens book...he feels strongly that a judge has to explain things to a jury (keep in mind...these are 12 people that were too dumb to figure out a way to get out of jury duty). Anyway, they jurors need to be told things like "if you think one witness on the stand was racist, that's fine. you have the option of giving his testimony less weight. or none at all. that does not mean, that you have 'reasonable doubt' in the entire case. you would need to have multiple things you doubt. but, throw out mark ferman testimony, you still had motive, blood stains, etc etc." Often times, the jurors think doubting one thing, means "reasonable" doubt. And, they've seen so many movies, where Harrison Ford LOOKS like he killed his wife, but he really didn't, etc etc etc. They need to be told, this isn't the movies, and there's probably not a one armed man running around, that really did the crime.— April 21, 2008 3:45 p.m.
