Last Musings of 2009

Is it weird to change or go to the bathroom in front of your dog? I guess it is reciprocal for us watching them pee and poop on a walk.

If you have a lisp, at what age do you decide to not sound like a child any more? I mean get the thing fixed already!

When is a blue collar town going to be referred to as the town of people who did not try hard enough?

Empire State of Mind

Jay-Z and Alicia Keyes have a new song called an Empire State of Mind. Get it? Not New York, because that would have sounded too much like Billy Joel's New York State of Mind which most people associate the title with.

Here are some other song titles they played with but felt it would have been to similar to Billy:

Keyboard Man
Captain Jacques
You May Be Correct
Scenes from a Venetian Resturaunt
I Go Over the Top
An Innocent Male
Uptown Lady
Only the Good Die Small
It's Still Rock N' Roll to Myself
Upset Young Man

Best Halloween TV Specials

The best part about the holidays outside of food, candy and presents, OK fine family, are all the cool cartoon/TV oriented specials. I still get giddy when I see ads for shows I used to love as a kid. Since it is Halloween, here are my top five favorite Halloween specials:

5. Bugs Bunny's Howl-Oween Special - Granted, this was just a rehash of old cartoons, but I love watching the episode when Bugsy pal is dressed up like Hansel and the witch tries to eat him.

4. Paul Lynde Halloween Special - I was 3 years old and I was just blown away because KISS made it's national TV debut and performed three songs.

Take into consideration you have Paul Lynde, Margaret Hamilton, Witchie Poo (Billie Hayes H.R. Puff n Stuff), Florence Henderson performing a disco version of That Old Black Magic and Disco Lady. Oh yes, The Osmonds!! All of this ads to a cornucopia of what the hell is this? Sheer brilliance!

3. Raggedy Ann and Andy in The Pumpkin Who Couldn't Smile - I do not remember much of this cartoon. But when this debuted in 1979, I remember seeing commercials that Kiss was going to be on Tom Snyder. Obviously I could not stay up that late, but I got to see the episode many years later. A wonderful episode because Ace Frehley is piss drunk and absolutely hysterical. I recommend you youtube this.

2. Fat Albert Halloween Special - I should say the best reason to watch this, is just to hear Bill Cosby in his Fat Albert voice say,"IT'S THE FAT ALBERT HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEN SPECIAL!" You have the Cosby kids hanging out with Mudfoot who eats 10 wads of gum and talks with his mouth full. I used to impersonate this as a child and annoy every family member along the way.

1. It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown - No Contest. I think this is every one's favorite. What other cartoon can take a crazy halloween story and suddenly bring Snoopy's Red Baron role into it. How does this story for kids turn into Apocalypse Now? You have Snoopy in his "aircraft" shooting down German planes, taking in enemy gun fire and then walking in the forest to escape enemies. I don't know about you, but nothing says Halloween like World War I.

Another quick note. Remember when Lucy asks Linus how he is going to mail the letter to the GP in the mail box that is like 10 feet high? So eventually Linus gets the letter up there by using his blanket?

Seriously, how small are these kids and how high are these damn mail boxes?

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

Richmond, CA - The City Where We Sit and Stare

So the story out of the Bay Area where a teenage girl was gang raped at a school dance just keeps getting worse. Police now say 20 people witnessed the entire event.

20 people? Was there a camera crew? Something like this is usually shot to be distributed at your local adult bookstore. This is pure evil.

Also, this was done just outside of the homecoming dance? Nobody who was in attendance said, hmm maybe we should do something? This is wrong? We should stop this? Seriously, nobody did anything?

You mean to tell me the kids who just got pubes like yesterday just sat there and went, this is normal for teenagers to do this? At a friggin home coming dance?

Whatever happened to underage drinking, smoking dope and hanging out at your friends house?

People You Cannot Trust

I was thinking the other day of people in life you cannot trust anything with. Or maybe they just annoy the living hell out of me. So I decided to make a list. Here is what I came up with. Not in any order.

1. The Perpetual Duh – This is the person who has their mouth open even when they are not talking. They sit there and you can just think in your head, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. They just stare into space and just have that look like they are about to go into a stroke or kill somebody’s cat. Seriously, close your mouth!

2. I Must Wear An Undershirt With Everything Guy, Even Over An Undershirt – I mean, did your grandmother tell you to wear a shirt underneath your shirt before you went outside? I know you are 40 now but come on!

3. Its 120 Degrees Outside So I Must Wear Pants and A Long Sleeve Jacket and If You Are Lucky Play Basketball In The Same Outfit. No explanation necessary.

4. I Go To Karaoke Bars So I Can Be Discovered – Thank You for ruining the time of pretty much everybody at bar by your over singing and selection of serious songs. This is why you are in a karaoke bar and not on tour.

5. The Dead Rock Star Expert – Ah yes, the person who buys greatest hits album of a recently deceased music legend and suddenly becomes expert of said legend. You know who you are Johnny Cash fans.

Ramblins' o The Week

I think it is safe to say Travis Barker needs to update his will.

Give one point for tact and the man who is selling Fire Shirts in a tent off the 118 freeway in LA. WOO HOO, Dead Firefighters, home losses and now you can say you saw the fire! Jack Ass.

I think people who believe Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the greatest have never drank coffee before.

So the crazy Duggar family is now expecting their 19th child. Mom Michelle whose uterus is probably the size of the 405 freeway was asked by People Magazine how she felt. She said, "We are so thrilled,we just couldn't believe it is happening."

Ok, you have 18 children and you are in disbelief? Seriously? Anyone else hope this one is Damien from the Omen?

I saw an article in the LA Times on runner Usain Bolt. The article was called, How does Usain Bolt Do It. I'll take a stab. HE RUNS FASTER THAN US!

Some Thoughts

I wish people who tell others to join a "fight" to put an end to something like, Fight to Stop Hunger or Fight to Cure Autism actually came to the event and physically fought everyone there.

Contrary to popular belief, in Eddie Money's Take me Home Tonight, the lyric of "Just Like Roni Sang, Be My Little Baby" was not originally, Just like Anne Frank Sang, SHHHH.

How much cocaine would we be on if Billy Mays sold it during his infomercials?

I see that Thirtysomething was released on DVD. I think they should reunite to form Sixtysomething. Instead of the cast complaining about meaningless things such as broken appliances, center it around about how hot it is outside and colons. And of course why Melissa is still not married.

Bravo Scotland!

It is really disheartening to learn that Scotland has freed Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who took part in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on Dec. 21, 1988. al-Megrahi, has been given months to live after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.

To refresh your memory, 270 people were murdered in the attacks. 259 died in the mid-air explosion while 11 people were killed from the explosion on the ground.

So, Scotland's justice system is showing compassion by allowing him to die at home and flying him back to Libya. As you can imagine, family members of those who died are outraged, as well as so many around the world. So, here is my solution.

Have the pilot and crew fly al-Megrahi home. Once the crew is over a nice stretch of barren African desert, have the entire crew parachute off the plane and yell out, pay back's a bitch.

Just sayin...

Everybody Deserves a Second Chance or Seventh.

For a brief moment last night, I actually forgave Michael Vick. I mean, that is what we are supposed to do right? But last night after I heard Donovan McNabb say everybody deserves a second chance,I remembered:

1. Electrocuting Dogs
2. Drowning Dogs
3. Hanging innocent puppies in a tree so that pit bulls can tear them to shreds.
4. Taking family member pets and putting them in the fighting ring to get mauled.
5. Getting arrested for smoking dope outside the courthouse while on trial for dog fighting.

So I guess this would be his 6th chance? I can see once he gets his paycheck from Philly, he will be giving fans the finger again. Which of course would be his 7th chance since he has done that already.

So what is worse Philly? Being the heroin capital of the U.S. or being home to Michael Vick?

Cliche Carnival

Here are some cliched sayings that I think would benefit us all if we never heard again.

Everything Happens For a Reason - Incorrect. Sometimes things happen. Stop hanging on for meanings and wasting your time deflecting a problem.

It Is What It Is - No it is not. I think this is the worst of them all. What it is, is that you are too lazy to deal with it.

You Are What You Eat - I am in no way shape or form a box of Special K Red Berries Cereal.

In My Honest Opinion - No, please lie to me to make this more interesting.

I think he is the youngest boy to fake his death

Now this would freak anyone out, but I think he may be the youngest boy ever to fake his death.

In Paraguay, a baby boy that was born 4 months premature was declared dead at the hospital. Hours later at his wake, he woke up and let everyone know he was still alive.

According to his doctor, he weighed only 500 grams when he was born and did not have a heartbeat. Therefore, they declared him dead.

So the family was given the death certificate and a makeshift cardboard coffin. Because that is how they roll in Paraguay.

So they come to the wake, they opened up the box and low and behold the baby is crying,kicking and screaming leading everybody to freak out.

Just in case you are wondering,Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Jim Rice - Hall of Fame Ignorance

Ok, I am a Yankee fan and have always considered myself to be fairly objective regardless who my favorite team is.

But when Jim Rice, who I believe should not be in the HOF ahead of people like Andre Dawson, criticizes the Yankees because they spent a ton of money that affected the Red Sox chances of winning boggles my mind.

Hmm, lets see, who choked a 14 game lead in 1978? The Yankees? No, the Red Sox. All you had to Jim was win half of your games and you failed. But I guess its the Yankees fault.

Oh and the lavish spending. Who beat you in the one game playoff Reggie Jackson??? Catfish Hunter? No, BUCKY FRIGGIN DENT!!! A guy that hit 40 career home runs and one that still stings for all Boston fans till this day.

Shall we also forget Jim the biggest reason you did not win a title? RACE!

No African American wanted to sign with Boston because of the organizations racist history and racist owner. It is common knowledge that players went out of their way to spite the Red Sox because of this. Boston just "celebrated" its 50 year anniversary of when their first African American player, Pumpsie Green played in game.

But is that even a pleasant anniversary? 50 years as the last team to integrate? Well, that is another story for another day.

So Jim played from 1974-1989. So during that time the Yankees, just like the Red Sox made 4 post season appearances. The Red Sox also played in 2 World Series and both not against the Yankees who allegedly stood in their way. So why do the Yankees get the flak of being the sole reason for Boston not to win a championship? It seems the other American League teams did just fine. I mean,why not blame:

The Cincinnati Reds for defeating you in the World Series?
Baltimore for getting in your way in 1979 and 1983?
Milwaukee in 1982?
Detroit in 1984 or 1987?
How about the Royals in 80 or 85?
Minnesota? Oakland?

Why not Bill Buckner and Bob Stanley? You were only one strike away in 1986! Buckner's error or Stanley's wild pitch in the 9th had nothing to do with it. One strike away Jim. Just one. Was George Steinbrenner at Shea Stadium throwing rocks at you while you were up? You blew it, deal with it.

So once again Jim, congrats on making yourself and "Red Sox Nation" as myopic as ever.

With that, how can you not love the Yankees Shelly Duncan's autograph?

Kwai Chang Caine Pinata Turns Out to be David Carradine

In Bangkok, a hotel worker who was cleaning the closet of David Carradine's room thought she spotted a Kwai Chang Caine pinata from the 70's television show Kung Fu.

Before taking her broom to strike the pinata, she realized it was in fact David Carradine who reportedly hung himself. He was 72.

UPDATE!!!

Apparently, the police have ruled out a suicide. Reports are coming in saying that the death resulted from auto-asphyxiation with a cord also wrapped around his testicles.

Make it Clap

If you are happy, but completely unaware of it, do you still clap your hands?

Why is it when people that come from England or Australia lose their accents when they sing?

To that end, why do country music artists not from the south sound like they are from the south. Keith Urban? Merle Haggard? C'mon Merle, you are from fricken Bakersfield, CA and you are also not an OKIE from Muskogee!

I saw a woman whose first name was Marbelle. I thought it would be funny if she married the Scorpions drummer Herman Rarebell. Her name would be Marbelle Rarbell.

Now that Danny Gans has sadly passed away, do Rita Rudner and Lance Burton feel a sigh of releif that now they can become the entertainer of the year. More importantly, does Wayne Newton get his old job back?

I am sorry, I am 100 percent behind Thomas Gallo here. His son is not a monster.

Grover, Ernie, Cookie and Elmo are monsters. I like Monsters. His son is a drunk and a murderer. A murderer on three counts.

Then, his mom Sandra went on to say, "It was an accident,he never meant to hurt anybody, ever."

By All Means, Please be a Cowboy

So I am driving in my car the last few days and I have seen a few cars that have the sticker to let everyone know to Cowboy Up or Shut Up.

So in response to these folks and their fascination to be cowboys, I would like the following rules to be applied to their lives:

From now on, you cannot drive a car. You can only use a wagon or ride a horse.

You can no longer drink water from the tap or a bottle, you must go to a well.

You can no longer dress in any modern fashion. I want to see chaps, spurs, hats, bandannas and boots. No jeans as they were not around then either.

You can only live on a ranch or in a tent.

You can no longer go to the grocery store and buy food. You can only grow or raise food.

Modern appliances are of no use to you. You cannot watch any television,use the computer,listen to the radio, get the phone or anything for that matter than involves electricity.

You cannot use fed ex or any overnight service to send mail and you have to wait the normal month to get a letter.

You cannot take a plane, bus or subway. Train is acceptable. But you will still go to jail if you rob it.

If your home is on fire or somebody needs help, you cannot call 911.

So go ahead, cowboy up.

My First Concert

It was 1981, my father was on a business trip on the east coast. Whenever he went somewhere, especially New York, we knew that always meant he would come back with presents. I will never forget this because he came home with brand new New York Yankee jackets for my brother and I. But this time, he came home with something to accompany it.

After sifting through his suitcase, my father went to my brother and said here you go. My brothers reaction was of pure joy, it was an album from a band that he wanted, Air Supply.

So, I take a look at the cover, and this is what I see:


Photobucket




My first reaction, was what in God's name is this? But probably more juvenile considering I was 6 or 7. I was used to seeing Gene Simmons on a cover scaring the hell out of me or Leif Garrett looking super cool in his leather jacket and gold chains. But who hot air balloon on an album? So, I figure since my brother is responsible for introducing me to Kiss, maybe he is on to something. So I decided to give it a chance.

So as my brother puts the record on, I am holding the album cover and decide to turn it over. The "band" is on the back cover and I notice two things, that two people are named Russell and the Asian bass player named Rex. Yes, Rex.

The first song comes on and it's a soft poptastic ballad. The next song comes on and it's a soft poptastic ballad. Then the next poptastic ballad and so on. Needless to say, I wanted to die.

So a few weeks go by and my Dad comes home with the news, we are all going to see Air Supply at the Greek Theatre. WHAT?!?!?!??!?! WHY?!?! I have been good! So in my typical fashion, I said I am not going. Well...probably not. I probably started yelling and crying and saying something mean to somebody, but really, I wanted nothing to do with this.

So the months went on, the album was played more and more and I became more and more depressed. Then, a glimmer of hope. My brother and I as always watched Solid Gold. I always paid special notice to the black woman with the long black hair. What a hottie. OK, back to the point. So as we watch, we hear that the singer of Air Supply got into an accident and broke his arm. I was thinking, maybe the concert would be canceled!!!

But it wasn't and off to the Greek we went. Probably making immature comments until show time, we sat down in our seats. The opening act was a comic. Quality. At least it was not Player or Orleans.

So the show starts and all of sudden you hear the screeches of girls going ape shit. The Supply goes probably into one of their hit songs which who knows what it was. All I know is a female fan in front of me brought two candle sticks and held them up the entire night. I would have loved to have been with this shmuck before she left. Got my keys, purse ahh yes, candles.

The highlight of the night though was when they played their current hit song, Making Love Out of Nothing At All. The song starts, the female population have probably wet themselves the moment the classic piano intro started. On a black screen behind the band, comes out a frolicking lasered unicorn.

Can somebody tell me that their was a band meeting for this?

Graham Russell: Hey Russell, what do you think this show needs to spice it up? Fire? Extra lights? Tapestries of our album cover?

Russell: How about unicorns???

Rex: You had me at corn.

So to this day, I am always jealous when people say their first concert was something classic. I let them know mine was Air Supply and Laser unicorn.

Personally, I feel like she should take this offer. Why should the tax payers have to pay for her addiction and whacked out behavior?

As gross as this sounds, I cannot help but think of titles should she accept their offer. Here are some suggestions:

Octopus's Garden
Eight Ball
Eight Men Out
"8"67-5309(Nadya)
Eight Days a Week
Have you Eighten yet?
Eight Miles Wide
Nadya 8
Eight Crazy Nights
Eight is Enough
Dinner at 8

Sadly, I can do this all day.

Randoms for the day...

Why do we still ride horses? I mean, with all of these methods of transportation, can't we give these guys a break?

How bad a ball player must you be if the Kansas City Royals or Pittsburgh Pirates designate you for assignment?

And lastly, I leave you more proof of the genius of Jim Henson who approved the idea of Alice Cooper hosting the Muppet Show. I still wish he sang Only Women Bleed with Miss Piggy. But this duet of You and Me works too.

Lose vs. Loose

I have never considered myself a grammar scholar. But I do know a few things.

The opposite of winning is losing, not loosing.

When you do not win a game, you lose a game. You do not loose a game.

When an article of clothing is not tight on you, then it is loose. You do not own a lose pair of jeans and your tooth is not lose.

Make sense? Book it.

When does somebody say, "Okay, I know this shopping cart is not mine, but I will take my store bought items home with it and leave the cart behind?"

Why do we ask people to own up to steroid use in major league baseball and once they do, pound on them for telling the truth?

Can't we just cut down more trees and produce more money? Recession solved!!!

Again, my powers spread to others

Well, my power to kill celebs again has now embraced my wife in full form. Fresh off killing Eartha Kitt in December, Jill, a soap opera watcher, heard last week that the actor who played Clint on One Life to Live died. She asked if the guy who played Asa is still alive.

NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!

From today's LA Times:

Philip Carey, the ruggedly handsome veteran actor who costarred in the 1960s TV western "Laredo" and more recently played the long-running role of a bigger-than-life Texas tycoon on the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live," has died. He was 83.

Love it!

So the question is, should I blog about people I and or others think about and wonder if they are dead to give you a heads up?

Babes & Beer = Fire

Early this morning in Tarzana, an exotic dancer was set on fire by two individuals. outside the "Night Club" Babes & Beer,

I do feel sad that somebody would ever want to do this to anyone. But is it me or is it ironic that this happened at a place called Babes & Beer?

Do Roosters refer to their penises as Humans?

If Australia is the land down under, which country is over the top?

I think yellow face is a better term than Jaundice.

OOOOH THAT SMELL!!

OOOOH That Smell! Can't You Smell That Smell!

Well of course you can. It's Billy Powell the original piano player from Lynyrd Skynyrd . He's dead.

He was the guy who claimed back up singer Cassie Gaines died in his arms after the plane crash. He later retracted that statement once Artemus Pyle said that was BS.

The Stage is Set for Born Again Christian Bowl XLIII

On February 1, 2009, Jesus will have an extremely tough decision to make. Who will we guide to victory to Super Bowl XLIII, Kurt Warner or Ben Roethlisberger?

Both have been extremely loyal to Jesus. As you know, they both thank him for every victory. However, they do neglect him like most when they lose.

Finally, we will have an answer to see who Jesus he really prefers. Lets see what we are working with.

Ben writes "PFJ" (Play for Jesus) on his shoes. Do you think he donates his salary to Jesus considering he is playing for him? Sort of like a designated Jesus? I think he should.

Kurt on the other hand brings bibles to press conferences for the entire media.

Hopefully, Jesus is out producing another Grammy-Award winning Hip-Hop album that day. But then again, it will really answer a lot of questions.
