Tipsy and Talkative
Well...Lettermans wife certainly wasn't in it for the money, as she spent 20 years with the dude. Surf, are you kidding me? Jay Leno is the worst of all talk show hosts. He was a great stand-up comedian, but was absolutely horrible in the talk show format. Even his man on the street interviews (Jay Walking) were bad. Here's an example of why. He would ask people who the Vice President was. And the person might respond with, "I don't know, I think Sarah Palin." And Leno would smile, shake his head and repeat the answer. He'd say "Sarah Palin? No, no sir, she's not the Vice President." Well, if the humor of the bit is a regular person not knowing basic things about the country, let the answer be the punch line (Carson was the king at this). And, if his goal is to add some funny to the answer, which is also a fine approach, well...don't just repeat it!!! You have to say, "Yes, it is Sarah Palin. Obama has an office in the White House, but she chose an office in her hometown of Alaska, so she can keep an eye on those pesky Russians!"— November 16, 2009 11:24 p.m.
Hangin' on the Telephone
arin...why do I get the feeling your kids take tokens from other kids? And, when they're thrown out of the place (much like a woman I just saw in a lawsuit with Wal-Mart...she claimed racism). I'm guessing you'd make the same claim. And no...you're not allowed to steal Chucks chunk of cheese. It's not government issue. You gots your own!— November 16, 2009 6:01 p.m.

Dope and Hemp is funny. I never found the "Lick Bush" to be all that clever.— November 16, 2009 4:40 p.m.

I like Letterman, but I like Conan more. They just said on the morning news, that he moved out and got his own apartment. Yikes!— November 16, 2009 4:38 p.m.
Hangin' on the Telephone
I have to admit, I do the above. If I'm not with someone I'm doing business with. I also have girlfriends that have gotten mad because when we go out to breakfast, I will read the newspaper. But hey...that's what breakfast is about. Reading the morning paper while you sip your coffee and OJ. I wouldn't do it when we were out to dinner, but...they still seem bothered by this practice. I need to work on those things I guess.— November 16, 2009 4:37 p.m.
Pain in the Glass
I remember that Natalie Wood joke coming out a week after she died, and being baffled that nobody that it was "too soon". But then, we were kids. I loved how In and Out Burger quickly changed the sticker, so it said "in and out" but showed a burger, instead of having the word. I remember when the AM station Mighty 690 had the zero chopped off it. That was really stupid. Although, I did like the KPRI stickers that were changed to PRIK. (although, does anything beat getting the high score in Asteroids, and writing dirty 3-letter words in for your name?)— November 16, 2009 2:26 p.m.
Pain in the Glass
Good one, arin. Although, the girlfriend drove, so I was able to enjoy that free wine! And again, I don't fault the Calloway officer for giving me the ticket. I broke the law, and there was a sign RIGHT THERE. I just don't like him yelling at me, as if I did something dangerous. And Arin, you can't play the race card with music. It doesn't work. Sure, I like Lionel Richie. Even saw him in concert opening for Tina Turner a few years back. But...Dancin on the Ceiling? That's about a crappy a song as anything in the Manilow catalog. Not a fan of Barry's, but I have to admit...I do love "Ready to Take a Chance." It's just a nice ballad, and it started the movie Foul Play off so nicely. But, for every black singer that does ballads I love (Al Green and Sam Cooke are two favorites of mine), there's also a Billy Ocean out there! And Karen, Natalie was a hottie (not mystery behind her death...I think Robert Wagner did it). But I don't just like people based on whether they are Jewish or not. In fact, I find Jewish people usually annoy me. My grandmother did that, and claimed Larry King was the best journalist ever. And she didn't kow why Maury Povich married Connie Chung. I used to say "Grandma, most of us in society don't know why she married him!"— November 16, 2009 1:18 p.m.

David Letterman used to say "a handsome couple" which always sounded weird to me.— November 16, 2009 1:10 p.m.
Facebook and Food Fights in School
I think it's relative, PP (by the way, Pistol Pete Maravich was #44 at one point). If you ask a 10-year-old if 44 is old...wanna guess how they'll answer that?— November 16, 2009 9:46 a.m.
Athletes Gone Wild -- College Soccer, Football, and Tyson Edition
Well, other teams won't need her number. I believe she was suspended for the rest of the season. And even if the slammed woman did "act" who cares. She got slammed down. I always hated when people accused Laker center Vlade Divac of flopping, when Shaq would run in to him. Even though he did do that, you're not supposed to charge in to someone. And, if they want to "flop" to make sure it gets the refs attention -- oh well.— November 16, 2009 9:44 a.m.
