Dallas celeb sightings
 
While Big D can never compare to str8's LaLa Land, here's some sightings from Ted Casablanca (mainly posted here b/c I know you all are concerned about the well-being of Mr. No Love No Money, Rob Campos) --


Thora Birch, grabbing some din-din at Al Biernat's restaurant down from the chic Melrose hotel. Looking vogue in a black Betsy Johnson dress, T.B. was in the Lone Star State to promote the Deep Ellum Film Festival and Cinema Fighting Cancer/The Cancer Relief Fund. Also cruising around the joint was Mr. Jilted for the Money...

Rob Campos, sipping some cocktails and chatting up several local ladies. Still looking for that special someone, ya think? The For Love or Money reality romper was laying low in his hometown on this par-tick night.

I will not even mention Fox's hard-hitting expose on the blurring line between news and entertainment. Other than to say that it does not appear to be a joke.
Actually the "Bambi" story (as it was before we had yet another example of how easily mass media can be manipulated) was "broken" by a local CBS affilliate in Vegas. And while I loathe Fox News, every other media outlet was in a similarly frenetic state over this bullshit story.

True, but (until last night) three of the women on the show had huge TITS. Kristin, the new black girl, and Holly's were all real and spectactular. Dave too has a nice set, which is sad since he has been there for pushing two months with nothing to do but sit in the sun and work out, and he remains fish-belly white and flabby.

That said, I am enjoying the Revenge of the Nerds (tie those threads) character of the show. Eight of the original ten were like a parody (but true!) of a high-school clique - pretty, wild, mean, exclusive, yet stupid - and watching them get voted out week-after-week is satisfying in my own dorky, mean sort of way. Now, <ominous voice> there will be no new guests <end voice> and they will eat their own, still for an unrevealed prize.

I dip my pizza in bleu cheese .... mmmmm, bleu cheese.

I thought "Canadian Food" meant Chinese. Growing up I knew that there were two things that one did only in Canada, get tattoos and eat Chinese food. Ft. Erie, just over the Peace Bridge, in addition to being famous for Don Cherry's Restaurant (which went out of business -- I love Don and Hockey Night in Canada and miss getting to regularly see both) has so many Chinese restaurants (and titty bars) that you cannot spit in any direction without hitting one (or at least it used to be that way). And the food is tops -- I recommend George's Good Food Restaurant and Tavern if it is still standing. Get the chop suey soup and make sure you have a couple of Bradors in my honour.

Speaking of hockey, preseason games start in less than a month. :D

Are You a Looner?
 
Article Explaining Balloon Fetishists

Here is a nice quote:

"The market is just too small. The balloon fetish is tiny compared to other niches. If someone is looking to make good money in the balloon market they're going to be disappointed. I run my sites and sell videos and DVDs because I enjoy doing it and it gives me an opportunity to have more loon fun. It's a labor of love. Unless you're a real looner you won't find much support amongst looners. Everyone can spot a fake balloon site. Those would be the kind the big porn sites do. Balloons are basically a prop or a novelty on those sites."

I am planning on spending part of my evening exposing fake balloon sites.

That is all you do in Canada. Besides getting naked for Penske, of course.

Most (not-classy) Chinese restaurants in Canada advertise that they are providing "Chinese and Canadian food". Which means that if you don't want the beef chop suey, you can get a hamburger or chicken fingers, which is not really Canadian food, but don't try to get in an argument with a waitress about that, as my 8 year old self once found out.

Wasn't he in Beautiful Girls (I think that's the movie title) with Matt Dillon and Tim Hutton (and Rosie)?

Last time I was in LA, I went to a party attended by David Spade and Melissa Rivers (on the night that her divorce was final). I'm sure there were several 20-something minor celebs there too, but I'm too old to recognize them. Also saw Alicia Keyes at Sky Bar. And many many guys wearing camoflage jackets and trucker hats. Ugh.

Indeed he was. That is one of my favorite all-time movies. Tim Hutton, torn between trying to rack it up with Uma Thurman and keep his perspective in a sweet, young-love, innocent relationship with the pubescent but oh-so-precocious Natalie Portman.

It's the perfect night-in-with-the-Mrs. video. If you can avoid getting too obviously entused by Uma's hooters and making pervert jokes about Natalie, you're guaranteed to get some post-flick nookie.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't know a single person who has known of an auto alarm stopping an auto theft (and by marriage I know a lot of cops). The problem is that they are in every fucking car and they go off so often that people ignore them. Think about it, you sit in your office and hear a car alarm and it isn't like you go rushing out to see if it is yours -- or do you? And unless there is a cop lurking nearby, a thief who is spotted/heard can simply cast onlookers that bewildered look that says "I don't know why my car alarm is going off." When I was younger, I had some friends who were in the business of selling car stereos that, um, weren't technically their property to sell. They used to "take delivery" of their new merchandise with the car alarm going off some times and were never once caught. Stick with the factory stereo or one with a removable face plate and do not leave anything of value in your car and it won't be broken into.
Cars are stolen for one of three reasons:

1. Joyride -- This normally only happens to idiots who leave their cars unlocked and/or the keys inside. It should, by law, happen to every asshole who leaves his convertible top down in a parking lot -- not cool.
2. Parts -- The more common your car, the more likely it will be stolen for parts. Also, air bags are still a big business and you can net up to $500 or more per bag but you have to know what you are doing.
3. Eastern Europe Bound -- Mainly SUVs. Your Escalade is out of the lot, onto a flatbed and in a cargo container on a ship to Ivan the Terrible before you can blink. Oh yeah, OnStar can be disconnected like that <snap> and don't let them tell you otherwise.

Your best bet? LoJack. LoJack has its own backup power supply and is mounted in different places on different cars and all of them are hard to find. LoJack pays if your car is not recovered.

Oh yeah, just remember that if your car isn't located within an hour or so you don't want it back anyway. ;)

Hell, my hubby even goes home from work and changes into "civvies" before running to the store to get beer for me -- of course, he might just be afraid that someone will recognize him when he is carrying Bud Ice Light. :D

No, you must sledgehammer the people, not the cars.

Sledgehammering the cars would be too noisy. Sledgehammering people would have no effect on my eardrums.
