And I Got More Hits than Sadaharu Oh

Quick Hitters and Random Thoughts

--A primetime Family Feud?! It just hasn't been the same since the great Richard Karn left the show.

--For some reason we're getting a Saw V. Julie Benz from Dexter will be in it, which is the only reason I mention it. Almost done with Season 1 and it is tremendous stuff.

--Oh Bruno...


--EndlessSimmer.com put out a list of Top 10 Drunk College Foods. Ian's Pizza (Wisconsin) is 10 with Mac 'N' Cheese Pizza. At 9 we get some place near Rutgers which gives us Fat Darrells. Basically it's a sub with mozzarella sticks, french fries, and chicken fingers topped with a marinara sauce. The Triple XXX Family Restaurant (Purdue) gives us basically a big ass hamburger with the addition of peanut butter. Fatheads (Pitt) offers up the South Side Slope at # 6. It's a monstrous kielbasa with fried pierogies, grilled onions, cheese and horsey sauce. Yeah, I don't think I'm down with horsey sauce. Junior's (Long Island U. at Brooklyn) offers up Something Different. That bad boy consists of two giant potato latkes (great start) and in between we get beef brisket. It comes with au jus and applesauce. At # 1 we get Mulligan's (Georgia) which offers up a traditional bacon cheeseburger. The bun is a Krispy Kreme split in half and grilled. Out-standing! Although when I'm drunk I don't eat, I drink. I rely on other vices to stimulate my appetite.


--How about that crazy Senator Bill Nelson from Florida? This senile old man wants to rotate primaries because for some strange reason he is of the belief that early-voting states New Hampshire and Iowa aren't representative of the American electorate. And then this kook wants to have the election based on popular vote (I know, he's krazee with a 'k' and two 'e's) and abolish the electoral college and the three weeks in U.S. History you spend trying to understand it.
On a somewhat related, but not really note...I'm liking John Adams on HBO.

--The Hills premiere was the highest rated show on cable this year?!


--Apparently it's almost officially a done deal with Scrubs moving to ABC.

--I've made no secret about my feelings regarding the No Child Left Behind act (or maybe it just hasn't come up). Anyhoo, some principals take these test scores and more specifically TAKs scores more seriously than others. A junior high principal in New Braunfels had a meeting with a group of science teachers. Principal Burks ended the meeting in a strong manner with, well, let's let teacher Anita White tell how the end of the meeting went, "He said if the TAKS scores were not as expected he would kill the teachers. He said 'I will kill you all and kill myself.' He finished the meeting that way and we were in shock. After he threatened to kill us, he said, 'You don't know how ruthless I can be.'
"We walked out of the meeting just totally dumbfounded because it was not a joke." Yeah, Ms. White found herself transferred to the Learning Center also known as the place where the kids who might kill you go to school.

--You ever wrap presents and you forgot which was for which person? Yeah, you ever do that with nuclear components and helicopter batteries and send nuclear components to Taiwan? No? Well our government did. They're hilarious. In all honesty I imagine helicopter battieries look just like fuses that trigger nuclear warheads. The government discovered the mistake so that's good. Of course, it happened in 2006 so...

--I'd like to dedicate Depeche Mode's "Somebody" for my boy Andy Bogut.


--Ready for some uplifting news? One in eight residents of Michigan is on food stamps. One in six West Virginians.

--Promising: Children of Men coming to TV.
Very Promising: Children of Men coming to TV with a Battlestar Galactica writer penning the pilot.
Galactica back this Friday!

Yeah, cylons look really bad.


--On Tuesday Hell's Kitchen has it's season premiere or as I like to call it the episode where Gordon sh*** on every single dish the "chefs" make except the one made coincidentally by the hottest chick there.

--So Food Network has Chefography week coming up and Food Network itself is getting an episode?!

Questions, comments or if you think, in general, people are just f'n stupid...

And I Can Always Make Them Smile

Quick Hitters and Random Thoughts

--Good interview with Alton Brown...

--Who would you least like to have been this spring: Kaz Matsui with the anal fissure or Felix Pie with a twisted testicle?

--Watching Across the Universe, that movie/musical/psychedelic trip using Beatles music, is about as close to taking acid as you can get. Holy crap and Bono's cameo?


--Love me some vampire movies so 30 Days of Night isn't going to get a bad word from me.

--The U.S. is getting the better of Mexico in soccer lately. But Mexico is gaining on the U.S. in one important category. Obesity. Yep, the U.S. is currently ranked #1, but health officials say, if current trends continue, in 10 years Mexico will be a nation of fat asses even greater than ours. Although I think baseball's trend of All You Can Eat sections may keep us from falling (on our soft, blubbery behinds) from grace.

--Public Service Announcement: When looking for places to store your gun don't put it in the oven. Because as Anthony Smith of Chicago found out sometimes someone will go into the kitchen and start cooking and then the gun will start going off and then before you know it two kids are in the hospital with gunshot wounds. To summarize, loaded guns do not, DO NOT, go in ovens. Now you know and knowing is half the battle. Still no word from Duke or Gung Ho or Snake Eyes what the other half of the battle is.

--I had no idea who the hell Audrina Partridge was until my favorite site wwtdd.com showed us her assets and her breast-ets and the world is a better place for those pics.

--I like Lewis Black and all, but I'm not sure Root of All Evil is gonna make it.

--Count Massachusetts as a state continuing the wussification of America's kids. The Board of Education has spent parts of a few meeting trying to come up with nicer, more positive-sounding terms than "underperforming" or "chronically underperforming" for its ummm, dumb err slower schools. So they're thinking about labeling those poor schools as "Commonwealth priority" or "priority one" so that students and teachers don't get their confidence undermined by such vicious terms like "underperforming." This is all time very well spent.

--For those of you deciding between schools Penn State is offering new course, "Joe Paterno, Communications and the Media." I think Bob Huggins or Bob Knight, Communications and the Media may be more entertaining.

--New Raconteurs is out this week and they'll be in Austin the first week in May. Unfortunately I won't be there seeing as how they'll be there on the 3rd and here on the 2nd is Kanye, Lupe, etc.

--Ain't no party like a West Virginia party, woo-hoo!!! My boy James Lacy was walking around outside drunk off his arse. How do we know that? Because he told the cop who came to see him, "I'm fu**** up!" At that point Lacy was searched and in his pocket the cop found two bags of crack coca...wait a minute. It looks like it may not be crack, but may be, yep, peanuts cut into chunks to imitate crack. Lacy apparently kind of a dumbass. He was charged with public intoxication and creation and possession of an imitated controlled substance. Chunks of peanuts? I don't know who's dumber him for making it or the crackheads who are only getting a Planters fix and nothing else.

--If you missed Joel Casamayor and Michael Katsidis over the weekend you missed yet another great fight this year. Casamayor knocked Katsidis down twice in the 1st, got knocked though the ropes himself in the 6th, got a point deduction for low blows in the 9th, and then of course, TKO'd Katsidis in the 10th for the win. The guy who beat Juan Diaz and once lost to Casamayor entered the ring and started running smack at Casamayor, but Joel isn't looking to get baited into getting another fight with Nate. Casamayor wants a bigger name and a bigger payday. I would love to see Katsidis and Diaz trade leather sometime.

--Only a couple of more weeks until Battlestar Galactica begins again on April 4th. That's a very good thing. If cylons are so bad then why are they so hot?

--A construction worker hung himself at Mel "SugarTits" Gibson's house?! For me, that's a deal-breaker. I ain't staying one night in any, ANY place where someone hung himself.

--AMC started rerunning Breaking Bad on Sunday nights before Mad Men. Brian Cranston (dad from Malcolm) is awesome in it. Good stuff.

--Your Psychotic Mother of the Week comes to us from Florida, shocking I know. There Celeste Minardi was visiting her 15-year-old son at a psychiatry office. Dad has had custody for years and for years mom would make these cour-ordered visits and bring gifts for her son. So this particular time, as a nurse was typing 6 feet away, mom got her purse and brought out a gift of cologne and then some playing cards. Unfortunately she then pulled out two foot-long knives and started hacking away at her son. The son was stabbed several times before he could run out into the lobby passing out there. A doctor got the knives away from mommy who had no criminal record or history of being violent. Gotta start somewhere I guess.

--Because the world needs more Bobby Flay. This July Food Network will bring us Grill It! With Bobby Flay. It's supposed to be an instructional type show. It sounds like Food Nation. I want to see Bobby and Stephanie Grillin' and Chillin', but I guess not yet.

--Dixie is coming back to All My Children as a ghost?! Wait, this is supposed to go in an e-mail to my mom not on my blog.

eVintage Blog Tag - Shoe In!

I've been tagged by Ang over at the Vintage or Bust blog of the eVintage Society. This week we're all about shoes!

1) SHOW US YOUR FAVORITE PAIR OF SHOES IN YOUR INVENTORY.

That's a tough one, because I love shoes, but it has to be this pair of late 1950's stilettos by Perugia. The black leather has polka dot cutouts that are backed with metallic gold, silver, and pink.

2) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STYLE OF VINTAGE SHOE TO SELL?

I love stilettos from the late 50s and early 60s, as well as the 80s.

3) FAVORITE VINTAGE SHOE TO WEAR?

I own a pair of 1980s platforms in navy suede that have sling backs and peep toes. They are dead ringers for 1940s shoes, and boy are they comfortable!

4) FAVORITE PAIR YOU OWN?

That would be my 1940's red leather pumps. They were a surprise find at a local estate, and went directly into my closet from hers.

Now let's move on to Damn Good Vintage. Tag, Julie, you're it!

April Showers Arrive Early

Floral prints are everywhere this spring! But why own a copy, when you can wear true vintage? This 1950's full skirted dress in silk shantung fits the bill nicely. And, while it's not April yet, it's raining right now in Boston on the first day of Spring 2008. A dress like this can brighten any gloomy weather day and tell the world, "Hey, Spring! Come on, already!!"

See this dress and more at Couture Allure Vintage Fashion .

22...Thank You

It's 1 o' clock in the morning and it's over. It's a little depressing, a little sad, and a lot deflating. Yeah, it had to end sometime. But as each tip-off came I was praying tonight wasn't the night this incredibly improbable streak was going to end.

I think the boys just ran out of gas, ran out of emotions, and crashed into a wall that they couldn't break through. I don't think I've ever been more proud of a group of athletes representing our city. The Rockets overcame so much along the way of this streak and kept that collective heart beating harder, faster, stronger and proved themselves to be better, no matter the competition. And then the Celtics came to town and matched them emotionally, overmatched them in talent and walked away with the victory. They got the bounces the Rockets had been getting, they got the plays the Rockets had been making, they got the win the Rockets had been collecting. And so it goes.

The biggest reason I didn't want this streak to end was because I was absolutely amazed and excited about how everyone else was getting excited. People who couldn't name more than Tracy and Yao two weeks ago were asking me where they could get Mike Harris jerseys. People were nominating every single Rocket-related person for an award. People were texting me after games to ask who's next and could I get tickets (for the last time, no). Strangers in elevators were asking each other if the Rockets played that night. Guys who've watched one game this season used Get Out of Jail Free cards to watch the Lakers' game with the fellas.

C'mon Houston, don't lose this feeling. This team may have lost tonight, it may lose tomorrow, but if this streak has shown us anything it's that anything, ANYTHING can happen and wouldn't it be great if it happened here again. It's a helluva lot more fun and thrilling to BELIEVE than it is to doubt. Don't give up on this team. Don't give up on this season. Don't give up because of one loss, or two, or three.

Believe and maybe before all is said and done this season the boys will make you feel like you felt after that Novak game winner, after Landry power flushed another one home, after Battier hit the floor again, after Deke gave someone the finger, after Rafer nailed a 3 despite you screaming 'NO!!!' when it left his hands, after Scola took a charge from a 300 pound beast and then got up and carefully tucked his hair behind his ears, after Chuck Hayes shot a crazy-looking free throw that somehow went in, after Luther bombed a 3, after Tracy gave that look and rained in jumper after jumper, after that Kings win, after that Hornets blowout, after that Lakers win. Those feelings, those are the feelings that only sports and the athletes representing your city can bestow.

Why not here?

Why not now?

After all this is Houston,

Where Clutch City Happens

And it's chill to hear them talk

Quick Hitters and Random Thoughts

--Britney is gonna be on How I Met Your Mother?!

--Apparently Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is getting a second season and that's a very good thing.

--Your frightening statistic of the week (Brad Ausmus' batting average not yet eligible) comes to us courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One in four teenage girls has an STD. That's right fathers add two more locks to your little princess' door. On the plus side....yeah, there is no plus side. That's some disturbing sh**.

--Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz and 2008 Penthouse Pet of the Year Erica Ellyson?!

--Padma is back...and she brought lesbian friends apparently. I'm taking Dale to win it all. I hope Anthony Bourdain judges on every episode. They shoulda kicked off both chicken piccatas. Just terrible. Easiest dish in the world and well, breadcrumbs. By the way, Hell's Kitchen comes back in a couple of weeks.

--I knew there was a reason I was always a Mary Ann guy. The other day Ms. Dawn Wells was pulled over after attending a surprise birthday party. She had very little to drink, but was swerving because, according to her, she was trying to find the heater control on her new car. She had more success finding a cop and getting pulled over. The cop smelled marijuana and she said that she had just picked up three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they started smoking something. Yeah, uh-huh. In the car the cop found some half-smoked joints (c'mon Mary Ann finish, then start a new one) and two small cases used to store weed. One of her friends, presumably The Skipper, claimed the pot was his and not Mary Ann's. Either way she's doing hard time...six months of unsupervised probation. Next stop, Celebrity Rehab?!

--The CW is working on a spin-off to 90210?! Double props to David Silver for tagging Megan Fox and doing a good job on Terminator.

--Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...Bud Selig's base pay for last year was $7.25 million?! Wait, wait, wait...he received a 100% bonus from the Executive Committee to end up making over $14 million in base comp last year?! Screw owning a team, own the f'n league and count the money no matter how incompetent you're perceived. Speaking of incompetence let me take a minute to talk about our station...

Questions, comments or if you were all set to go on the air at 6 and country music started playing and you began to question whether this is all worth it...

eVintage Blog Tag - Dress a Movie Star

Tag, I'm it! I've been tagged by Carol over at The Vintage Bulletin for this week's eVintage Society Blog tag.

1) WHAT ITEM DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE FOR SALE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WORN IN A MOVIE?

The answer is obvious, my dear. This late 1950's hat by Michael Terre.

2) WHICH MOVIE STAR DO YOU SEE WEARING THE ITEM & IN WHAT MOVIE?

I see Audrey Hepburn in this hat in her film "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

3) WHAT MOVIE STAR QUALITIES DOES YOUR ITEM HAVE TO MAKE IT PERFECT FOR YOUR STARLET?

It makes a statement! The way that wide brim angles down over the brow - that was a style preferred by Hepburn. The huge organza petals make for a hat you can't ignore!

And now, Lizzie's Vintage Travel Journal, you're it!

I like the way that they walk

How much fun is this?
Quick Hitters and Random Thoughts

--Hells yeah!!!! A third season for Friday Night Lights!!! DirecTV and NBC worked out a deal to show it on different channels and give it the chance it so richly deserves.

--More fantastic news!!! Because you've been such patient boys and girls The Shield is going to starts its finale season in September....finally. I miss Vic and the boys. R.I.P. Lem...



--Boner from Growing Pains was arrested for stepping in front of a Chinese themed float at the Rose Bowl parade in protest of the treatment of people in Burma?! I had no idea his father was Chekov from Star Trek.




--A Dexter video game?! I know I'm waaay late on this, but I just got the first season on dvd and I can't wait to tear into that.

--The Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles was waaaay better than I thought it'd be, but apparently another season is not in the future. Skynet takes over in 2011, hope you're happy America.

--Congratulations to this week's Freak of the Week.....Red Sox scout Jesse Levis! Jesse was in St. Lucie and just enjoying the view outside his hotel room door. Said view included a pool. The pool included two teenage girls. Before Jesse knew what was happening his hand jumped into his pants. And then well, his hand came back out asking for a cigarette. Yeah, Jesse's hand and the rest of him were arrested for allegedly committing two lewd and lascivious acts in the presence of children under the age of 16. Jesse's hand swears "he thought the girls were at least 17."

--There's a Best of SNL 2006-2007?! How long could that possibly be? 10 minutes? 12?

--Guy is obviously a dork, but Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives might be my favorite Food Network show after Good Eats. Coming soon to a Wii near you: Iron Chef America.

--If you watch one documentary on drugs this week make it America's Drug War on Showtime.

--Oscar De La Hoya's niece, Daisy, is on Rock of Love?!

--Fashion Nightmares with Victoria Beckham on Fox?!

--Speaking of Fox, a 24 two hour movie this Fall?! Apparently it's going to bridge the gap between last season and next season which begins airing in 2009?! Ummm, shouldn't the two-hour movie be called 2?
I'll never forget where I was when that sonuvabitch ended the life of our nation's greatest Commander-in-Chief.

--So NCAA '09 is gonna have different cover boys for each platform. Darren McFadden graces the 360 and nothing else has been announced. Seriously don't you feel smarter for knowing that now.

--Nobody not even you pancreatic cancer will put Swayze in a corner!

--Our MacGyver grandma of the week comes to us from North Carolina. There Susan Mitchell got freaked out by all the severe storm/tornado warnings and so she grabbed her cats and went inside the closet. Fortunately for her the bad weather subsided as she took a nap. Unfortunately for her she forgot the closet locked from the outside so yeah, she was stuck like Chuck (Chuck reference = Rachel Bilson pic, yay for us). She tried to break down the door to no avail. Then she slipped a note under the door so when people started searching for her they'd find it. Then 20 hours in with no food, water or medication she started punching the wall eventually making a hole big enough for her to climb through. And now heed the sage words from grandmama: "So I say to everybody 'keep a hammer in your closet, tie your cell phone around your neck, and be in shape."

--Remember that dude who hid in the closet until Glen Rice found him and beat him up for being over at his estranged or ex's place? Yeah, he's dropping the charges.

--I love boxing in 2008 for giving us stuff like Marquez/Vasquez. I hate boxing in 2008 for possibly giving us stuff like Holyfield/Tyson. Either way it sure sucks Juan Diaz's streak had to end over the weekend. I guess our fair city can't have too many winning streaks going on at one time.

--Your Mother of the Year candidate for this week comes to us from Oklahoma City. There Christine Aaron was enjoying a beer breakfast when she nodded off. Her four-year-old daughter had mommy's back, tilted her head back and finished the beer. Mommy gave daughter a good talking to when mommy realized what happened. Mommy still dropped daughter off at school. Daughter started acting strange/drunk and teachers smelled alcohol on her breath. Yeah, mommy was arrested and police said, "We have reason to believe that the child has drunk beer in the past."

--I don't watch a ton of BET since the days of Video Soul with Donnie Simpson, but it will soon start offering Black Poker Stars Invitational with the likes of Katt Williams, Orlando Jones, and Eddie Griffin. It will also soon be giving us Iron Ring which will feature MMA teams. The teams will be managed/owned by guys like Ludacris, Lil Jon (I'd love to hear him shouting instructions at me), Nelly, and thankfully Floyd. Please don't let Floyd/Oscar II happen. So unnecessary.

--Really Tennessee, you're just now looking at passing a law to allow wine sales in grocery stores?! I mean, I know you're a little behind everyone else in the nation, but...

--Pat O'Brien out on The Insider and Donny Osmond in?!

--Cal is selling pictures of the most famous pole vaulter in the world, Allison Stokke on its website?!

Questions, comments or if you're jealous that your workplace's vending machine doesn't feature coconut toffee-flavored peanuts like mine does...

Let your back bone flip but don't slip a disc

No real reason to show Padma except she's Padma and that's enough for me.

Quick Hitters and Random Thoughts

--Bad news people no new season of Conchords until 2009. Crap.

--Just so we don't forget April 10th is whenever The Office rejoins us.

--Thank you to ESPN for waving buh-bye to Sean Salisbury. Just typing his name annoys the hell outta me. How ridiculous is this quote from Sean:

"I have created a brand and it’s time to expand into other opportunities in TV, radio, Internet, publishing, movies and public speaking, among others. My resume speaks for itself as a football analyst, and I believe I can talk all sports with the best of them."

created a "brand"?!

--Friend of the Night Shift Dan Henderson gave it his best shot, but Anderson Silva's wallet is the one that has BMF stitched on it. Dude cannot be stopped. How about Heath Herring's performance against Cheick Kongo?

--Hey Heroes, I'm glad you're about to start shooting again for next season, but I know you're not trying to go forward without bringing back Kristen Bell.

--Valerie Bertinelli is looking pretty good on those weight loss spots and now she has some tell-all book...something about infidelity, drugs and kissing a woman. So after all of that it's clear the next step for her is her own talk show. And that's a done deal now.

--Watch out Superman...


--Arrested Development the movie is a go and that is a very good thing.

--Cleveland from Family Guy is gonna get his own spin-off?!

--Nothing like watching Gordon Ramsey bust a chef/owner for posting glowing online reviews of his restaurant. The Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America > Fox's.

--Dinner: Impossible's Robert Irvine is not getting his contract renewed since his resume was full of embellishments and he's screwing over some people in St. Petersburg. That's a shame, 'twas a good show.

--I didn't know this, but apparently Jason Street's character on Friday Night Lights was inspired by San Antonio Madison's David Edwards. The show's director and producer Peter Berg was at a 2003 playoff game featuring San Antonio Madison against Austin Westlake when Edwards (DB) collided with another player going for the ball. Edwards was paralyzed. To finish this incredibly sad story Edwards passed away recently days before his 21st birthday. He had pneumonia since late last year and was hospitalized, but slipped into a coma and stopped breathing.

--I'm not big on Cameron Diaz, but if she's in a Richard Kelly movie I'm down. Apparently The Box will involve Frank Langella knocking on your door and telling you that if you push a button on The Box you will come into great wealth. The catch being someone, somewhere will die. I would rationalize that it'd be an a-hole deserving of death or someone in great pain to which death would be welcome and then I'd press that button twice just to make sure.

--I think this accurately sums up the Knicks' season...


--Slamball is coming back?! I guess they figure why the hell not look at how American Gladiators did in the ratings. Nice job America. Now go make a terrible, awful, no good, very bad movie # 1.

--If you hate Duke then you'll love this...


--If you're keeping score at home Kate Hudson is allegedly stalking both Justin Timberlake AND Tim Hasselbeck. Good luck with that Kate.

--Oh Florida, you do have some f'd up people living within your borders. 27-year-old Brandy Hicks lives with her parents and the other night she spent her evening hours getting drunk off her ass. So she was afraid of getting the wrath of her parents when she went home that morning. So what was Brandy to do? Brandy decided the best thing to do would be lie to the police. Awesome plan. Brandy told the cops that the night in question she left her stripper job (yeah, this is getting better already) and had dropped off a friend when some guy approached her car and hit her upside the head. Then she claimed she woke up in the woods six hours later. Brandy even dumped her own purse in a garbage can to make her story appear more valid. Yeah, that didn't work. The cops found her truck nearby and her story started having holes punched in it. Eventually Brandy said my bad and now the 27-year-old stripper is most assuredly grounded...except for when it's her night on the pole.

--Good God, can Lost get any better than last week's Desmond-centric episode?

--A sequel for The Last Starfighter?! Out-standing!

Questions, comments or if you got pulled over last week and had your car searched...

Something So Right

Forgive me, dear readers. I volunteered to do a 27 Dresses feature over on the Vintage Fashion Guild Blog and that project has pulled me away from my own writing here. All I can say is, "I'm back!"

Isn't this 1950's dress gorgeous? There are things about vintage dresses that make me smile, but it is rare to find so many of them in one dress. Let's see....
It's silk.
It's got a full circle skirt.
It's got pink roses.
It's got a pink lining to match the roses.

It's got a halter neckline that is sexy as anything!

Some of the pink roses are sprinkled with rhinestones.
And, to top it all off, some of the pink roses are quilted and padded for a 3-D effect.

Need I say more? See this dress and more at Couture Allure Vintage Fashion .
