Golfer Hits a Birdie
A golfer hits an endangered hawk.
I was reading a USA Today today. I didn't buy it (my old journalism teacher called it a "McPaper"). They always have a stack of them at the Macaroni Grill. I took one as I was leaving. There was a …
Your Zipper's Down
When to tell people their car lights are on.
My brother Lewis was telling me a story about someone that left their lights on outside his business. They sternly said, "They go off on their own." Lew then told me, "It's weird, because so many cars are like that …
Lawyers in Love (with money)
A couple lawsuits in the news.
I just saw in an entertainment magazine, that the driving instructor in the Barot movie, is suing. He has no way in hell of winning this one. But, I'll give him credit. He's only asking for $400,000, not $4 million. …
Train Arrived
A woman in Leucadia is hit by a train.
As I was leaving the house today, I heard them say on the local news, that a 35-year-old woman in Leucadia died after being hit by a train. My first thought was about how a friend and I were surprised …
Love is Blind (and so is Linda)
A documentary chronicling the weirdest relationship ever.
The documentary is called Crazy Love. Which, I always thought was a nice ballad by Poco, but I'll never be able to feel the same way about the song now. I'll still be able to enjoy the local band Louis …
The Wasp
Bees and wasps, used for bad instead of good.
I always loved the song WASP, on the Doors last album. It's one of the first uses of electronic drums. Bees and wasps used in movies I always like, although find the scenes usually unrealistic. In "Election," when one stung …
Teach Your Children Well
A few of my former teachers, and one that taught the Affleck brothers.
I'm not sure why when I blog, I like to title them with song lyrics. Often times, the lyric has nothing to do with what I'm going to write. But, I had read in the L.A. Times last week, about …
We've Got No Principles
A kid makes up a fake Web page about his principal.
I blogged about a high school kid that lied and said some big colleges offered him a scholarship. I said I didn't think it was that big of a deal, and got a few letters and calls, saying that it …
Last of the Mohawk
Craziness in some elementary schools.
Someone forwarded me a bunch of stories they saw online, about things happening at schools. One had a substitute teacher searching kids for $5 in an envelope that was stolen from her desk. Apparently, you can't search kids. A few …
Shark Sandwich
A shark attack off of Florida.
A few days ago I heard a guy died from a shark bite. I felt bad, until I heard he was scuba diving, where they threw bloody fish out in the water to attract the sharks, so he could get …
Oscar Gripes
Whoopi Goldberg gets snubbed by the Oscars. But when you win one for playing a sassy black lady in Ghost, can you really hold a grudge?
I thought it was odd that all this talk was about Whoopi Goldberg being upset that she was "snubbed" when the Oscars showed a lot of previous hosts, but not her (for those wondering...she hosted in 94, 96, 99, and …
Bad Customer Service
A bakery, restaurant, and Blockbuster video...that don't have a clue.
I went to a club to see a band. And, yeah, it was packed. I give waitresses more room to make mistakes. But then, on weekends, they should have more staff to cover that, too. Our waitress never brought us …
And the Oscar Goes To....
A quick summary of the Oscars.
I was really happy with how the Oscars went down last night. First...I loved the fact that there were only a few political jokes, by host Jon Stewart. And, they didn't favor any one side. Nothing I hate worse than …
Shhhhh!!!
Magazine and greeting card pet peeves.
I was in a Border's the other day looking at magazines. I noticed that a bunch were put in the wrong places. And, it's stuff like this, that makes me realize how pathetic the human race is. Seriously. Every day, …
The Peterson Case
Evidence today, says that the previous wife was murdered.
Being a Democrat can be tough sometimes. My Republican friends want to argue stuff with me. And, my Democrat friends are way to liberal for my tastes. When I talk about crime, and how I love the three strikes law, …
Jenny Jenny Who Can I Turn To?
My attempted interview with Kirstie Alley, and her bailing on Jenny Craig.
Actress Kirstie Alley made the news yesterday, when she split from Jenny Craig. I caught the news, when they said a spokesman for Craig said they parted ways. I yelled at the TV, "Her way, is to the buffet, I …
Smoking a J in the Unemployment Line
An interesting email I received.
I got this email the other day. It's probably one of those things that you get, and then all your friends send it to you a few weeks later. Those email jokes or stories that never die. It was all …
Bitten by the Bug, err..Boa
A famous parent, that doesn't seem to be on the right path.
People talk about famous bad parents. And, it's always the usual Michael Jackson, covering up his kids heads and dangling them out the window. Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears mom. And now, them, as parents. The list goes on and …
Mistaken Identify
A woman steals stamps and does hard time.
I got into an argument with a few of my friends the other day. That's nothing new. There was a story on the news about a woman that had been jailed for seven years for a bank robbery. Problem was, …
I Love Paris in the...Winter
Some Paris Hilton talk is always fun.
So, Paris Hiltons brother Barron gets arrested for a DUI. And, it's his second one. Why not just take his drivers license away forever? Seriously. If you get a second DUI, you shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel ever again. …
