Getting Punk'd
An NBA player had a prank pulled on him.
I watch the show Punk'd whenever I'm going thru the channels, and nothing else is on. I think Ashton Kutcher is a bit of a dweeb, trying way too hard to be hip and funny. But, the idea of a …
A Cheeseburger, Coke, fries, and $50 on the Giants
I drove into Las Vegas, with sand and duststorms so strong (after leaving behind pouring rain). I almost couldn't see out of my window. When I finally got to Vegas, I saw the Monte Carlo was all charred at the …

Last Call
Expensive beers, alcohol studies, and a rainy day with no hot chocolate.
Well, Saturday should be a day for drinking. But when it's pouring rain, how about chilling out on the booze, and just giving me a nice cup of hot cocoa. I had some friends in the afternoon, that were having …

Rappers say the darndest things!
There are so many problems with rap music, I don't even want to get into them all. But when I heard about this story, I couldn't stop laughing. Just like, well, he couldn't stop rapping. You see, the genre has …
Heath Ledger Humor
People joking about Heath Ledger, and other things on his death.

An UnHappy Meal
A stabbing at a local McDonald's.

Heath Ledger Dies
Actor Heath Ledger dies, with pills found by his side.

And the Oscar Goes to....
Oscar nominations came out today.
Well, I wasn't surprised that No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood, led the pack with 8 nominations each. Both of them were highly overrated, but critically praised. I have no problem with Daniel Day-Lewis being nominated …
Give Bees a Chance
Jerry Seinfeld and Evel Knievel in lawsuits (not with each other).
Well, a few celebrity names involved in lawsuits that are strange. First, Jerry Seinfeld. His wife is being sue by someone, because she wrote a cookbook, that tells how you can hide vegetables in foods, tricking kids into eating them. …
Pac-Man Fever
The football player, not the video game.
I don't know all the details...but Pacman Jones was banned for the entire football season for some kind of shananigans. Drugs, guns, something. I can't remember now. So many NFL players get involved in these things, it's hard to keep …
Gotta Keep 'em Decorated
The decour in some restaurants.
There are two types of restaurant walls that annoy me. One is the sports bar, that has framed football jerseys. For some reason, these never look good. For example, a Fillipi's in Mira Mesa has a Warren Moon and Rick …
Praying in Jail
What religious rights you should be allowed in prison.
I read about this last week in the paper. And, I heard a radio station talking about it briefly today. It would be a lot more interesting if I told you the religion behind it. But I can't remember. It …
A Giant Day of Football
The Chargers and Giants both win, making it a great day in the NFL.
Sunday was the best day of football all year. Just amazing. One of those days where...I can see sportspages across the country, that had the headlines, like DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN, but instead, put Colts Beat Chargers, in those places. Nobody …
Celebrities and Jail
Why some celebrities go to jail, and others don't.
When Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones recently got six months in prison, I heard a few people talking about whether or not tha was fair. One said, "Her life was already ruined, by giving back the medals." Well, that argument …
Tiger Tales Two -- The golfer this time
The controversy surrounding a commentator that said Tiger Woods should be lynched.
Well, I'm going to do a bad job of reporting here. But I don't care. It's a blog, not a news story I'm writing. Some channel, maybe a golf channel... A female sportscaster was talking with a male sportscaster, about …
Don't Step on the Bands, Man
Bands touring without original members.
With the new year, we heard a lot about new laws that passed. It's the cell phone while driving, that ticks me off. I can do it. I shouldn't be punished for all you idiots that can't. But, for two …
I'm a Slave for Britney
More stuff on Britney Spears.
Well, I'm convinced now she needs to be committed. Before, I just thought she was a party chick that made bad decisions regarding her kids. A few days ago, she got a flat tire, and just let her car get …
Top 10 Movies This Year
I'm not sure I can pick 10 of the years best films.
I heard A.O. Scott and Richard Roeper say this was one of the strongest years in a long time; in which to pick 10 of the years best. I think, it's one of the years biggest overrated lot of films …
Two Out Bottom of the 9th
Two celebrities, have people from famous shows come to the rescue.
I heard that Dr. Phil went over to spend time with Britney Spears. If that isn't the biggest PR move in the world. First off, Dr. Phil is an idiot. I've seen part of the guys show a few times, …
San Diego Super Chargers
The Chargers win their first playoff game. But how long will the fun last?
Watching the Chargers game...a lot of things different, a lot stays the same. Charger fans, as pathetic as always, didn't even sell out the stadium. And, it wasn't because of the weather. Oh, maybe the fareweather fans. Then, they continue …
Apology Accepted...Maybe.
The woman who lied, so her kid could win tickets to Hannah Montana.
Usually when a famous person apologizes, it's crap. Someone like Roger Clemens is going on and on about how he didn't take growth hormones or steroids. He's doing 60 Minutes tonight. Yet, when he finally is caught, he'll think he …
Haircut 101
A barber gets stabbed in the face, for giving a customer a bad haircut.
So, I thought it was weird timing that this Tim Burton movie comes out, where Johnny Depp is a barber that slits peoples throats when he gives them shaves. And in real life, right here in the south county, there's …
Tiger Tales
People just don't understand...whether it's a lawsuit involving tigers, or babies coming out of a Spears.
How come nobody understands anything? And, in my efforts to explain, I give crazy scenarios and sound insane. Here are the most recent examples. An old lady that's a family friend, told me she was glad the kid got mauled …
Late Night Laughs
My synopsis of all the late night shows on their first days back.
I love it. I'm back to staying up until 2:00 a.m. with late night TV on in the background. I love nothing more than hearing Letterman, Conan, and Kimmel. They came back, with only Dave having his writers. Hilary Clinton …
New Year's Resolution Rant
Why are New Year's resolution stories always the same?
When something happens in the news -- like Mel Gibson being arrested and ranting like Hitler -- my friends ask me why it has to be covered as extensively as it is. And, I always explain how big a story …
I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke
Songs that become hits, after being in commercials.
I read a story in the New York Times the other day, about the song for the Coke commercial from 1972. I remember as a kid being moved by that tune. You'd hear it around the holidays, with the kids …
