Athletes Hot-Doggin' It
Well...Jeff Spicoli could eat pizza while taking a test! HOTDOG UPDATE: Hebrew National Hot Dogs gave fans that had ticket stubs from the last Jets game, a free pack of kosher wieners. I always laugh when companies do things like this. I have friends that will say stuff like "Can you believe Jack in the Box is giving away tacos?" And I always say "Are you joking? Those things probably cost 10 cents. And they get more publicity than anything else." Remember Dr. Pepper and the Guns N Roses album? So what. They gave out a few cans of soda for free. The publicity they got was worth millions. I'm guessing the hot dog story won't get that big, but still. It's worth it for them to dole out a few packages to some fans that probably have to go to their online website and fill out a bunch of forms and get on their email list.— November 2, 2009 12:08 p.m.
The President and Perverts on Halloween
Dang it. I meant to include the story about Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, before a game against the Kings, he captured a bat that flew into the arena. Other players and officials were running for their lives, and he just swatted the thing ouf of the air with a bare hand and carried it off the court. Of course, the crowd went nuts. I think he should've put it in one of those T-shirt canon things and shot it out into the crowd. As a Halloween treat.— November 2, 2009 8 a.m.
Wee for a Wii -- Weeee! for attorneys
Real People. I hadn't thought about that show in a decade. Then, after I met Fred Willard at an event in Fallbrook. I Googled to see what he had done, and saw he was on that show. Can't remember the goofy red-haired guy, but I always hated him. Remember the show Not Necessarily the News on HBO? Comedian Rich Hall was doing the Sniglets (made up words), and their theme song was the cool riff from Claptons song "Motherless Children". Ah, good times.— November 2, 2009 1:14 a.m.
Annoying Airline Passengers and Dead Celebs in Commercials
Karen..are you not a fan of his comedy, or just this commercial and his decision to do it? To me, the Spade commercial might not have been as bad, if he got Chris Farley's brother, who looks a lot like him (played Michael Moore in a recent parody), and the two of them could've been looking at the screen various times, discussing DirecTV. JFK...I agree. At funerals, it seems disrespectful. Pony up and pay for a babysitter. And weddings, people get so offended if they can't bring little Johnny. Yet they'll do nothing if the kid starts crying. If you have babies, you have to realize, some events are adults only and for good reason.— November 2, 2009 1:10 a.m.
Gypsies, Snacks, and “Steve”
Well Seretta...I seriously doubt anyone just acquires things for the sole purpose of tricking people. Aside from horders, I think people just buy a lot of stuff. You go to Hawaii...oh, I gotta buy something to remember the trip. But people should stick to one thing. Maybe a magnet. And your fridge can have 15 magnets, from the various places. Instead of a bunch of T-shirts, that you ended up giving to Goodwill a year later.— October 31, 2009 9:47 a.m.
Athletes Hot-Doggin' It
Well refried, it's like I said. You're paid millions. People already hate the fact that teachers work a lot harder, for a lot less. To name one profession. And to stick with that profession, what if a teacher was eating a hot dog while the kids were taking a test. I'm sure that would be a big no-no.— October 30, 2009 4:57 p.m.
6-Year-Old Evicted
jm...I'm the king of typos and using, commas, where they, are not needed (maybe because I want it to read as of William Shatner wrote it, I don't know).— October 30, 2009 3:39 p.m.
Athletes Hot-Doggin' It
Damn vegetarians and vegans taking over my thread! I won't stand for it, I tell you (walks to kitchen to eat a taco...ONE WITH ground beef!) Oh, regarding the candy bar, I don't think it's as bad if a player is eating a candy bar, some sunflower seats, or whatever. It's the idea that you're paid millions of dollars to win football games. People lose their job, if you don't perform well. You should be focused, or at the very least, APPEAR to be focused, on what's going on on the field.— October 30, 2009 3:38 p.m.
Friends Are Like Jewels
I haven't read any of these posts in the last day and a half. They just go round and round, and we all just sound like idiots. I got messages from 3 family members of Roberts. They all LOVED the story. They said other things privately that I won't share, but believe me...it sides heavily with me and a strong dislike for other people involved. So I can sleep at night knowing Robert WAS happy with the story that appeared. This is my last response on this. If you guys wanna continue the fight, go for it. It all seems rather silly, though, on a story that was very positive.— October 30, 2009 3:27 p.m.
