Hey, Now

Matt Lauer of the Today Show made a famous appearance a few years back as J-Lo on Halloween. Today he didn't do much but Ann Curry tried to be Cher and fill-in Natalie Morales (who really jazzes me) came as Madonna. And the "Hey, Now" is in no way directed towards Ann Curry.

The Politics of Dancing . . . Or Quotes

John Kerry, the former almost president, found himself in hot water today for saying the following when speaking of college students: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." There's no way he can talk his way out of that. He called the troops dumb - no way around it - and that's a battle that can't be won in the court of public opinion. But Bush didn't help his cause by responding with "the members of the United States military are plenty smart." (youtube.com clip here.)

Meaningless Trivia

For those of you that watch Lost, you might be interested to know that the guy that plays Sawyer appeared in Aerosmith's 1993 video Cryin' where he steals Alicia Silverstone's purse. (He shows up at the 3:30 mark if you have a youtube.com interest.)

Reposted From Last Year Because I Laugh Every Year When I Think About It

My good friend Kevin Clark tells the story of his first year of handing out candy in his Fort Worth neighborhood on Halloween. As the night wore down, a few stragglers were still knocking on doors. Kevin had run out of treats late in the evening but that, of course, didn't stop his doorbell from ringing one more time. As he looked around his house for something to to give in lieu of candy, he saw a "change dish" with a variety of loose coins that had accumulated over time. As Kevin tells it, he grabbed a handful of coins, opened the door, dropped the coins in the kid's basket and told him "Happy Halloween". To Kevin's horror the kid turned, ran to the edge of the front porch, and screamed for all potential trick or treaters to hear: "He's giving away mooooooooooney!!!!!"

Halloween Night

The night I shut off all my lights and hide in a back room. Good times. (Random pic. Uh, no, they aren't back there with me.)

I'm Too Mature For That

Someone just sent me a picture of an elderly woman wearing a witch hat and nothing more. I refused to laugh. Keep 'em coming.

They Are Pretty Good

If my math is correct, since 2002 the Eagles are 45-3 in regular season games.

One Riot, One Ranger

One Sorority . . . well, that's a different story. The Baptists have gone crazy!

Dixie Chicks: Shut Up And Sing

This trailer to the documentary has been around a couple of weeks and I finally watched. Ya know, it looks really good. And the rants from the Anti-Chicks crowd are pretty funny. I love the guy at the end, "Freedom of speech is fine, but by god you don't do it in mass publicly."

Before We All Start . . .

. . . well, I can't complete that Pulp Fiction line. But, before we get too excited about Tony Romo, it's interesting to note that a guy named Gary Hogeboom threw for 343 yards in his first start with a win over the Los Angeles Rams on September 3, 1984. I really don't think this is going to work out.
