That Fish Smell
Russl...if you're "going for broke" what happened to "rock lobster" by the B-52s? Look out for that paranha!!!— September 26, 2009 1:47 p.m.
Dead Genius Comedians
Booooo! I wanted to read a longer blog on the subject matter. Maybe with a paragraph or two about Sam Kenison. And, does anyone remember the bug-eyed Dennis Wolfberg? (think that was his name). Red haired, hunched over...he died of cancer, I believe.— September 26, 2009 1:42 p.m.
Fun Football Stories
Well, here's the problem with that logic. Jim Kelly wasn't making the Hall of Fame. Yet, you put him on the Cowboys instead of Aikman, they still win Super Bowls. And, he's in the Hall of Fame. You put Aikman on a bad team, and guess what? I'm convinced he's an okay QB, but hardly a hall of famer. I mean, Emmitt Smith held out one season, and the Cowboys only one one game that year, with Aikman. He was only great because he had this insane line that gave him all the time in the world. And when Irving or those guys weren't open, he could dump it off on a 3 yard pass to Emmitt, who would then run for a 38 yard gain! Doug Flutie, a great college QB who was able to make an NFL career being half way decent, would've been getting Super Bowls on the Cowboys. And...one Super Bowl, had Neil O'Donnel against another QB that also sucked. And one of them now has a Super Bowl ring. It hardly means they're better than the ones that didn't win a ring.— September 26, 2009 1:40 p.m.
Take Me to the Pilot -- Stalker Stories
The worst thing is when a guy kills himself over a woman...and the woman is racked with guilt over it. The one thing she shouldn't do is feel guilty. Had you stayed with someone like this, it could've been you, your child, or someone else murdered instead.— September 26, 2009 1:36 p.m.
One Dad at a Time -- Celebrity Sex Scandals
Wow, that's interesting. Thanks for posting that, regarding Dateline. That is interesting. Well, here's the thing. I remember being a teenager, and reading about Stockholm Syndrome. I think it was when I was reading something about Patty Hearst. And, a few years before 6th Sense came out, I read about Munchausen by proxy (injurying your baby, even killing it, so you can get the attention). And it's hard to imagine any of those things. But again, it's NOT that I can't imagine a father and daughter in this type of relationship. I'm sure there are some cults right now, that have something like that going on. But your last few lines are asking me "who would utter words about their dad, if it wasn't true." Well, someone that's a drug addict. That has lied before on many things. And someone that has such anger towards their dad, for not leaving any of the Mamas and Papas fortune (which she didn't get any part of), and for introducing her into drugs, which lead to the life she's had. I'm not saying THAT is what she did. I'm on the fence about the whole thing. Because, as you stated, there are people close to her that support the story. But something to keep in mind is...those people are ONLY GOING by what she told them years previously. Not from things they witnessed. And, I just don't know what his ex-wives all have to gain by denying he did that.— September 26, 2009 1:17 p.m.
This. And That.
I went to high school with two brothers, Ronnie and Lonnie Bennett. They are Raiders fans, and great guys. I ran into one of them when Tim Brown was at Harrah's Casino about 8 months ago. Geez, how can a guy as classy as Tim Brown been a Raider for so long?— September 25, 2009 6:41 p.m.
That Fish Smell
Trout Mask. Gotta be one of the most bizarre album covers in music history. What a bizarre musician Captain Beefheart is. Amazing artist, though.— September 25, 2009 6:39 p.m.
Fun Football Stories
Good points on Emmitt. Pete, Brees was merely a "good" quarterback while playing for the Chargers. He's putting up insane numbers with the Saints. Had he put up those kind of numbers (and not been a 5'11" / 6' tall quarterback, without an injury they weren't sure about), the Chargers would've stuck with him. For you to talk about a QB not being anything until they "win the big win"...well, Marino was one of the best all-time. I believe he never won a Super Bowl. And, that argument is a tired one, besides. Charles Barkley was one of the best power-forwards to ever play the game (especially at 6'4"), he never won an NBA championship. Dan Fouts never won a Super Bowl. Hall of Fame quarterback. Frank Tarkanton never won one (and he lost three). Amazing quarterback (who hates Favre, by the way). Those are just the two that popped into my mind. If I wanted to do research, I'm sure I'd find more.— September 25, 2009 6:34 p.m.
The Real Edwards Tragedy
Also...I doubt he'll get millions for this book. Everyone already knows the best parts about it.— September 25, 2009 4:18 p.m.
Writing, Anyone?
Word San Diego was real hit and miss. The guy that ran it was a dope. Lots of dead comedic genius. Some I wasn't much of a fan of (Lenny Bruce, Andy Kaufman), some I was (George Carlin). Write that blog. I'd be curious to see whatcha come up with.— September 25, 2009 4:17 p.m.
