RANDOM…Jodie Foster’s latest movie, The Beaver, is in the can and awaiting release. There have been complications due to the extracurricular activities of the film’s star, a certain Mel Gibson. One paper summed it up rather ingeniously, asking, “What Will Mel’s Rant Do To Jodie Fosters Beaver?”…
…I’m pretty sure Leanne Rimes is a whack job but, [...]
Spent a night at The Rail last week relaxing and mumbling with pals. A glimpse at the wrestling playing on the tube revealed a sight that quickly fascinated and then consumed all conversation.
See, there’s a dude in the stands, and he’s gone to the bother of creating a sign for the night’s big festivities. He’s [...]
I hate goodbyes. I’d rather slip out the back, Jack, and get myself gone.
So this is not easy, nor fun.
One of my favourite comrades is climbing aboard a train and slipping out of The Big Smoke.
Hat Head is leaving Toronto and I don’t know when I’ll see her again.
I’ll miss her chagrined DUUUUUUUDDEE greeting, her [...]
There’s a banging on my door.
I ignore it.
It’s loud and insistent. It towers over the massive sound of the music pumping through my personal space.
I’m pissed (yeah, both ways).
It’s 4pm on a Sunday.
I put up with shit neighbors and their nonsense all week.
But Sunday is my day to howl.
And, baby, I fucking howl!
I go to [...]
…headline in The Onion this week, “Boulder, Colorado, Named Best Place in America to Raise Abducted Children”…
…Joan Rivers on Lindsey Lohan and her infamous Fuck U fingernail (incidentally, brilliantly recreated for me by Goose), “She thought being sworn in meant cursing at the judge”…
….I was leaving Mass this morning when I thought, y’know, I should [...]
GRID IRON…there is simply no question that a team will eventually pick up Terrell Owens. Injuries will begin rocking teams as the preseason unfolds and some team, hopefully not one I cheer for, will step into the breech and pluck out the malcontent…
ICE…when the dust settles, the Philadelphia Flyer acquisition of Nikolai Zherdev for 2 [...]
Lady GaGa suddenly disappeared, plunging under her flaming, yes flaming as in “on fire”, piano, leaving two alabaster butt cheeks gloriously perched atop her piano stool.
She emerged holding pieces of her microphone and announced I broke my microphone. That’s the problem with singing live, things can go wrong. I will now fix my microphone. You [...]
After having traveled thousands of miles over the course of four decades to see Elton John in every type of situation imaginable, you can forgive me if I had thought there was nothing new under the sun, so to speak.
Wrong.
I’d never been to Hamilton.
Oh man, watching Elton valiantly trying to stir up a collection of [...]
Interesting excerpt from Christopher Hitchens new autobiography;
“Hitch: making rules about drinking can be the sign of an alcoholic,” as Martin Amis once teasingly said to me. (Adorno would have savored that, as well.) Of course, watching the clock for the start-time is probably a bad sign, but here are some simple pieces of advice for [...]
…ESPN reports a “staggering” one in four Cleveland homes, a 26 share, were tuned in to watch LeBron’s decision the other night. The corollary, that three in four had better things to do, seemed to escape the sports network…(no, the city of Cleveland is not home to mass suicides or immolations today)…
…Bill Simmons impromptu mail [...]
