Is it me or have I been hearing a lot about earthquakes lately? wussup tectonic plates? gettin’ all shifty and stuff. maybe the ‘big one’ is coming, eh? Coming to SoCal or San Francisco, perhaps?
Speaking of Frisco, Sean Penn has been acting [...]
rectum? i never touched ‘em!
I’m SO glad Michael Jackson was acquitted of all charges yesterday. Now we can all put this horrible mess behind us and rest assured that Michael Jackson has never touched little boys inappropriately — at his ‘Neverland’ ranch that looks like a children’s amusement park, in his mansion decorated with photos of smiling diapered babies [...]
the long and winding road
walk this way
On this day in 1970, the Beatles had their last #1 song — “The Long and Winding Road” — (which I seriously thought was a ‘Wings’ song - not Thomas Haden Church and Crystal Bernard ‘Wings’ but Paul McCartney ‘Wings’)
Speaking of long and [...]
the golden popcorn
Last night with Bill & Mama Z I went to check out family friend, Kat Parsons at the Velvet Lounge .. decent stuff; folky, girl rock with ‘relationships’ as the common lyrical theme with little to no straying — some quality beatboxing with good ‘tween song banter. Kat gets 7 / 10 zaps.

i’m a contender, not a pretender
peep these dank herbs in my baggy
Mike Tyson had a press conference for his Saturday night fight in DC — where he claimed he’ll gut Kevin McBride “like a fish”.

thank you reagan
So i called the weather this morning (in the DC area it’s been 703-936-1212 since I was knee high to a snowflake) and I was looking to get Happy McSmiley’s forecast.
Happy McSmiley is this curmudgeony 75+ year old who delivers the weather with pure hate — when he reads the weather, Happy can make any [...]
so long blueberry
Gordon Ramsey continued to entertain on Fox’s new semi-reality “Hell’s Kitchen” but unfortunately my favorite, Dewberry ( “Blueberry”) was the second one to be booted off. Spoiler alert. It’s a shame too, because he seemed like he’d be good fodder for the rest of the season.
Storms swept through the DC area right around the same [...]
VA 2 CT
EZ-Pass (SmartTag) is so freakin’ sweet… awhile ago I invested some stock in an RFID manufacturer — it will be huge — I can guarantee it…(my stock has already doubled since) the same chip that’s in your SmartTrip card for the DC Metro or your badge to get into your building in the AM will [...]

“Spell: appoggiatura”
“Can you please use it in a sentence?”
“Certainly. ‘I think an appoggiatura is neat.’”
Anurag Kashyap of Poway, CA took home the grand prize from the National Spelling Bee yesterday by spelling “appoggiatura” correctly. What is an appoggiatura? It’s the tiny little [...]
