Firsts

June 25, 2009 hopefully was the end of a rather disturbing few weeks.  First David Carradine was found dead in a rather odd state. Then, on Tuesday Ed McMahon passed away.  That wasn’t terribly unexpected as he had been ill for a while.  But, then on Thursday another icon passed away: That wasn’t terribly surprising to me either.  All the… (more…)

Michelle Kosinski strikes again!

I enjoy Newsbusters almost as much as Mythbusters.  They’re a hoot at pointing out factual errors in reporting.  And, they LOVE picking on MSNBC.  Good reason to, MSNBC is a classic at bad reporting.  However, in their haste to show how wrong today’s headline was, I think they missed the obvious chuckle of the day.  To wit, a young girl… (more…)

Dawn Wells

If you’re forty-something, that image means something.  Gilligan’s Island was the hottest show running for about twenty years of my life even though it wasn’t on for terribly long.  The reason that no one would ever admit publicly was because we couldn’t get enough of Mary Ann.  Ginger was sold as the Hollywood sexpot, but it was Mary Ann who… (more…)

Move Over, Tom

Wesley’s knockin at the door.  He’s doin his very best to make Scientologists look sane.  Now, Wesley’s thing is bought into a scam by this guy who claimed US citizens don’t have to pay income taxes on money earned in the US.  I’ve heard that argument that my entire life as well.  It sounds great don’t it?  Being as most… (more…)

Chancellor Brian May

  Brian May, you know who he is, was just named Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. Nice to see an aging rocker who isn’t brain-dead, or just plain dead. Rock on Brian!  We need more rockers like you!

Danica does math

The cutest little girl I ever saw was on The Wonder Years. Winnie Cooper, who was played by Danica McKellar. Now, I never watched The Wonder Years for the plot. All I ever watched it for was a chance to see Winnie for just a little bit. The show itself bored me for the most part. Apparently that was a… (more…)

The exploding pizza delivery guy

When I saw this unfolding in 2003, I gotta admit, I felt kinda sorry for the guy.  However, it was way too bizarre for me to comprehend how that plot could make any sense.  My gut feeling at the time was he was somehow involved in it.  However, since he got blown up, I didn’t voice that opinion too often.… (more…)

David Faustino – Another child star gone to pot

David Faustino played Bud Bundy on one of my all time favorite tv shows, Married with Children. This is what he’s doing now: Apparently a little time for pot possession and public disturbance. I’m gonna guess his defense will be he was still in character from his recent blockbuster, Puff, Puff, Pass. When not getting stoned, or getting paid to… (more…)

George, George, George…..

In 1982 Andrew Ridgeley and Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou burst into almost instant stardom as a group called “Wham!”.  You probably know the latter as George Michael.  Now, these guys were cute!  By that, I mean they wore cute little outfits with trendy expressions on too-tight too-short t-shirts.  Not exactly my cup of tea.  In fact, it was kinda obvious who’s… (more…)

Maurice Clarett

The story of Maurice Clarett is an odd one.  This kid shows up at Ohio State in 2002, and promptly starts bowling over anyone that got in his way.  That year, he scored the winning touchdown for Ohio State in their championship season.  The sky was the limit for Maurice. Well, not quite.  The year after his rocket to stardom,… (more…)
