The Death Pool and Dom DeLuise
When I heard that Dom DeLuise died the other day, a bunch of things popped into my mind. As a kid, I loved him in the Mel Brooks movies (Space Balls, History of the World, and Blazing Saddles). I also …
Have You Heard the News? There's Good Rockin' Tonight
Dang it...I forgot to blog yesterday. And now Cinco de Mayo has snuck up on me. I'm not sure what to do today. It's either a Mexican restaurant with the old lady (I love saying that...she's younger than me, but …
In the News...
I'm trying to catch up on some magazines and newspapers I haven't read. A few news stories in the paper caught my eye. One was about a hyperbaric chamber exploding in Florida. It killed an Italian woman, and her 4-year-old …
The Last of Las Vegas
I saw an interesting story in the Review-Journal this morning. They were talking about former Flamingo headliner Toni Braxton possibly suing insurance giant Lloyd's of London to pay her for the months of work she missed because of her heart …
Death and Robbery on the Strip
I remember being in Las Vegas years ago and seeing lots of news crews everywhere. it turned out Dean Martin died. I woke up this morning and heard that Danny Gans died. Yeah, I know. I said the same thing. …
Viva Las Vegas
I seem to have the best luck when I travel. When I went to England in my early 20s, they had the warmest weather in 25 years. I went to New York a month ago, and it was great weather. …
Panic in Detroit...errr, New York
Someone suggested I blog about this politician that switched sides. I'm just so not into politics and the BS games they play. I still laugh when I hear that goofy voice of Joe Lieberman (I just thought of something -- …
The Movie Blog
I love asking people what their favorite films are. It always blows me away when someone will say something like "I rented Fargo. I hated it. Those accents were annoying." Or a high school friend who had the best sense …
Lots of Copies, Lots of Flavors
After a lunch at Pizza Nova in Point Loma, my girlfriend and I drove past a motorcycle accident. It had just happened and was bizarre to see. The couple was just laying in the street, with the motorcycle next to …
From Preps to Pros
It seems every year there is debate about a high school basketball player that is jumping straight from prep sports into the pros. Some people bring up players like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Garnett. They were able to …
Does a Bear Chase in the Woods?
On a few of the channels today, they stopped talking about that singer from Scotland with the eyebrows. And instead, they talked about a woman in Colorado that was being chased by a bear. When I hear about an animal …
George W. Bush Today
When the current cover story in the Reader appeared yesterday, with various writers and editors talking about their favorite drink...a few things popped into my mind. First, that I should go get bombed. I mean, it's Friday, right? Second, that …
Parents Gone Wild
Wow, I thought of that title for this blog...and immediately realized people might think it could be some link to adults at a tupperwear party that have one too many martinis and get risque. Maybe that would get more traffic …
Electric Cigarettes, Cyrus, Homeless, Chinese...Something offensive for everyone!
I couldn't decide what to blog about, so I'm just going to go with random thoughts that jumped into my mind today and things I saw. I was out running errands, and heard a DJ talking about all the various …
A Cop and Contestant in a Pagaent
I don't watch beauty pagaents. But it's always fun to read about them the day after. There was a time Donald Trump was involved in them. I see that idiot Perez Hilton was somehow involved in judging this one. The …
Commercials and Candy Bars
So, I've got CNN on right now. And there's a story about a cop that laughed at a murder victim and even talked about the victims mom. I didn't want to get into another heavy duty blog on good cops/bad …
Police Officer Shootings
I didn't start this blog because I miss Fred logging on and giving me crap. I did it because I remembered something I read in CityBeat a few weeks back. They did an editorial, and it's really a shame. That …
Big Bottoms
I was trying to decide what to blog. Someone sent me an email earlier in the day asking what I thought of the airline charging fat people for a second seat. I figured I wouldn't blog about that. But as …
Domino's (the pizza, not the game)
Ah, Dominoes. A great Van Morrison song. A great Kiss song. My least favorite Eric Clapton band. My least favorite Mickey Rourke movie. My favorite 50s singer. For me, there's good and bad associated with the word "domino". But when …
Celebrity Idiots -- The Jamie Fox and Hulk Hogan Edition
Jamie Fox has a radio show on Sirius Satellite. I'm not sure why. He's an Oscar winning actor. And they can't be paying him a lot, as those satellite stations are losing lots of money. I've heard what Fox said …
