How old is grandpa?

I have received this email in various formats.  Here’s the latest: One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.  The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and things in general.                                The Grandfather replied, ‘Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: television penicillin polio shots… (more…)

The Emmy’s are NOT for kids

According to most news reports, Sally Field got an Emmy last night.  In addition, she got to make a speech.  In that speech, she decided to get political.  When she got political, she decided she needed to hammer home her point with expletives.  Not to be outdone by gutter talk, at least a couple of other awardees got edited for… (more…)

Britney the train wreck?

Now, I’m not a big fan of Britney Spears.  However, it just gets a bit tiresome seeing all the media posse toot exactly the same horn in the form of big headlines when a lot of more important things are going on in the world.  Whoring for attention isn’t news to me.  That goes for media as well as their… (more…)

Moxi Tivo

We got Moxi/Tivo last night.  I didn’t like the way the installer set it up so I moved it and made it look a lot more esoterically pleasing.  Then, the step-daughter, the boy, and the wife got home.  I really didn’t get to see it again. From what I have seen so far.  It’s cool.  I hear it has all… (more…)

Slow news days

You know it’s a slow news day when you have headlines like this:  2 NYC Firefighters Hurt in Scaffolding Collapse at Ground Zero Site: Watch Live Now, I really don’t think I want to watch it LIVE.  In fact, I’ll just wish them well and not watch it at all.  That’s the end of that one. But wait, there’s more!… (more…)

Funniest SNL skit of all time?

I was recently made aware of this skit on SNL.  It’s called “The H is O”.  It’s so horrible I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through it.  It starts bad, gets worse, then digs an all time low for television.  It’s a classic! However, for me, the greatest moment of SNL came the very first broadcast.  When John Belushi… (more…)

Who’s Line is It Anyway – Richard Simmons

My wife sent me this.  We used to watch Who’s Line is it Anyway a lot when it was on.  However, I had never seen this skit.  Be sure to watch it ALL! whos_line_is_it_anyway_richard_simmons You know what makes it extra funny to me?  Check what channel it’s on.

Forget American Idol

Britain is where the only real talent is this year apparently. Watch this:

Bob Barker

When I was born, a long time ago, my mom probably laid in the hospital watching Bob Barker on Truth or Consequences.  I feel this is very likely because from 1962 until 1975 or so, we watched it every single chance we could.  In 1975 we did what almost every family in the US did in 1975.  We watched The… (more…)

The View goes nucular

This is actually the first exchange I’ve ever seen on The View: I think Elisabeth wins this one because her boobs look fabulous and Rosie is, as normal, disgusting and ignorant. However, I could be wrong. Let’s take a poll? Shall we? Rosie or Elizabeth? Public OpinionPoll Results ( Yeah, I know, they’re arguing over a political issue, but who… (more…)
