Kickin’ it Funkyburger-style
My computer did not turn on this AM. After a scary 10 minutes I threw it against the wall and nOw It sEEms tO wOrk fInE!*!(! There’s always a solution!
Last night I kicked it old skool with Ms. Jen Funkyburger McVeigh-Davis of Louisville, KY. Shooters of Leesburg, VA was THE spot to be on [...]
Where do YOU summer?
This weekend I did what thousands of New Yorkers do every Friday afternoon and fled the urban day-to-day for the more subdued and scenic Hamptons — of course, I live in the Virginia suburbs so it was a little bit of a further drive; sometimes I like to pretend I live in NYC. Carrie’s college [...]
Au revoir, Geico
I have good news. I saved money on my car insurance by not renewing my policy with the Sarlacc-esque money pit called Geico. For you city people, typical American ‘conveniences’ like food, drink and rent may cost 25% more than the rest of the world, but you have quality public transportation — and that’s [...]
I’m Morley Safer, I’m Mike Wallace, I’m in jail
Mike Wallace arrested for becoming overly assertive after purchasing meatloaf-to-go. All this plus Andy Rooney on 60 minutes.
Ms. Carrie won tix to see a preview screening of “Without a Paddle” coming to theaters soon — funny funny stuff. Worth it for a matinee price. Dax of Punk’d makes a very funny screen debut. 7.5 zaps [...]
Garden State and Rick J. RIP
Saw Zach Braff’s “Garden State” this weekend — 9.4 out of 10 Zaps. Phenomenal movie. Go see it. Full of emotion, great cinematography and even better music.
Also saw the Orioles of Baltimore destroy the Rangers of Texas at Camden Yards yesterday — and what a fine day it was for baseball.
Interested in [...]
Dodgeball go bust
The weather is just super. Really. It’s just super duper.
Last night, after meeting up for International Dodgeball Meetup Day (not including my boy David whom I invited) - one person showed up. It WILL be in the Olympics, maybe not until Zap 24 but mark my words. MARK THEM!
Jeffrey Ross made me laugh many [...]
Ray and some d’ball
Tonight, I meet with random Northern Virginians, because today is International Dodgeball Meetup Day. No joke.
Ms. Ally Fouts mentioned this to me recently — Ray Bradbury is quite miffed about the title of his classic ‘Fahrenheit 451′ used for Michael Moore’s documentary. When asked if it was possible to have the title of the movie [...]
Here comes the story of the hurricane…marty
Here is the hurricane name list for 2004. Hurricane Earl doesn’t sound that menacing. But then again, neither did Hurricane Marty.
So a nun and a priest are having sex in a car somewhere in Africa…
Italy embarrassed the USA Basketball team 95-78, much like I regularly embarrass Greg G. on PS2’s NBA Street.
$50 Million is bound to make someone have a nervous breakdown
David Chappelle signed on with Comedy Central for another two years for $50 million. What an awful job — to be paid $60,000+ a day to write funny things…some guys have it really bad.
Correction: Rumors were false- Eric Bana will not be Bond. The British tabloids do not research their stories thorougly (nor do [...]
Mmmm…bacon
It’s better to just let sleeping pigs lie. Some of the prize winning pigs tried to bite my ankles after I loudly yell in a Homer-ish manner, “MMmmmmmmm…unprocessed bacon.”
Eric Bana is rumored to be the next Bond James Bond beating out Jude Law & Ewan McGregor. I think we might have another George Lazenby on [...]
