Absolutely Classic

Ok, so this is several years old, but it is, in my opinion, the greatest Letterman of all time. Farrah Fawcett is so stoned/coked-up that she can't think of words, doesn't realize that the audience is laughing at her, and can't concentrate long enough to finish a sentence. Letterman handles it perfectly, just letting it all unfold before him. It looks like he's enjoying it just as much as the audience. I remember seeing the show when it first aired and wishing I had taped it for posterity. Now YouTube has it for me; saved for generations to come. A must see for every Letterman fan. If you haven't seen it before, it's a must. If you have seen it, try it again. It just never gets old.

Best Commercial in Decades; or at least on TiVo at 3AM!

I cannot believe how fantastic this commerical is! Girl Power! Feminism should be founded on this commercial; ok, that may be going a bit too far, but at 3AM it seems realistic. When John McEnroe chimes in the world seems complete. McEnroe (a fantastic commentator, btw) just years ago bragged that even at his age he could beat Venus Williams--now he's joining in on this West Side Story/Girl Power vignette. I love it!

What on earth is this guy doing?

42 years old, steroid free, and hitting only .169 as a DH in the Golden Baseball League (an independent league categorized as between AA and AAA), former AL MVP Jose Canseco has converted himself into a starting pitcher, a knuckleballer at that.  In his debut he hit 4, walked 5, and gave up a home run in  4 1/3 innings.  All I can say is, "What the...."  Why on earth is this guy still playing baseball, let alone becoming a knuckleballer?  Every new venture makes him more of a joke.  Give up Jose.  Please, please, please, just give up.

Life imitates art, or at least commercials

Life imitates art, or at least commercials


I used to love these commercials (I can't find a link to the one with Tracy Morgan trying to get a 6-pack of Sierra Mist through airport security). Unfortunately all of the sarcasm, absurdity, and humor have been sucked out of them now that terror threats have forced security to *actually* confiscate liquids. Who could have guessed that these commercials would have come so close to reality. It is a strange new world we live in.
