The Other Woman On Lost

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

So, we know a lot more tonight after “The Other Woman” but what do we really know?

I only have one complaint about the wonderful Elizabeth Mitchell’s character Juliet’s character and that is what role does she play? Maybe that is the beauty of her character. I don’t know if she’s a good guy or a bad guy.

Still.

Under the jump for those not caught up. Yeah, I’m cool that way.

I Am America (And So Can You) by Stephen Colbert

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

John over at Lake Neuron tagged me for a new, extra special crunchy memo.

Let’s go:

1. Pick up the nearest book.

2. turn to page 123.

3. find the 5th sentence.

4. post the next 3 sentences.

5. tag 5 people.

I only have one book near me and it is Stephen Colbert’s “I Am America (And So Can You)

Okay, let me find the page. (Wait, got it.)

“At first blush, most would peg me as an average Joe, and I’m proud of that. But my sheepskin announces to all assembled that though I may be a man of the people, I have the keys to the clubhouse. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard the phrase, “You went to Dartmouth? I find that hard to believe.”

So, I have to tag five people. If you haven’t responded in the past, I realize you hate these things so I’m going to give you a break. My five are: Megan, Aunt B., Claudia, CeeElCee and Sarcastro.

If you don’t do memes, that’s groovy. If you do, this is a good one.

LeBron James Brings On The Sexy With Spike Lee

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

There are times that I love sports more than Bass Beer.bassaleemptyglass.jpg

And last night when Lebron mouthed, when he only had 38 points on the board at Madison Square Garden to Spike Lee “50″ I just about wet myself.

LeBron, that was more than sexy.

Yeah, he was also cool to a fan that he probably shouldn’t have been (but I was cool with it) and score the 50, I was all hot and excited for LeBron.

I dig crap like this.

Better than the Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy “I’m a man! I’m 40!” Yeah, it made me laugh though.

LeBron, you brought it my dear.

Drunk Elvis

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

There is nothing, NOTHING, better than a drunk Elvis Impersonator story.

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. – A central Kentucky judge had a suspicious mind when an Elvis Presley impersonator showed up for court apparently drunk and sporting sunglasses and a rhinestone-studded shirt with a scarf draped around his neck.

County Attorney Brian Goettl said that as a result, the judge had David Blaisdell, 64, tested for intoxication and sentenced him to three days in jail for contempt of court when it was determined that the man’s blood-alcohol level was nearly twice that at which a person in Kentucky is considered legally drunk.

BadgerBeth gave us the hat-tip on this one.

Man, who doesn’t love an inebriated Elvis story.

Heh.

Kathie Lee Gifford

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

Oh Lord No.

FTVLive reports Kathie Lee Gifford is joining the Today show. “Several high ranking NBC insiders tell FTVLive that the Peacock is about to name Kathie Lee Gifford as a new host of the Today Show,” reports the blog.

Gifford is apparently being tapped to anchor the fourth hour.

I’m usually at work during the Today show but she is going to be everywhere. She is going to be on YouTube for her perkiness. We have learned, of course, that perky is as perky does. And of course, I’m speaking of Katie Couric.

I suffer from Kathie Lee Gifford Fatigue Syndrome.

Town Bans Cussing

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

What next? We going to ban flatulence?

What the $%*&*? This community on the edge of Los Angeles has become a cuss-free zone.

So if you’re headed to South Pasadena this week, be sure to turn down the volume on that Snoop Dogg CD, and, if the little old lady from Pasadena cuts you off in traffic, don’t even think about flipping her the bird.

Not that police will slap cuffs on you and haul your sorry, er, butt off to jail in light of the proclamation passed Wednesday by the City Council. But you could be shamed into better behavior by the unsettling glares of residents who take their reputation for civility seriously.

“That’s one of the purposes of this,” Mayor Michael Cacciotti said of his city’s proclamation designating the first week of March as No Cussing Week. “It provides us a reminder to be more civil, to elevate the level of discourse.

Here’s the rest of the story on CNN.

I have to tell you, I’d have to move.

More On Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival

Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 06-03-2008

If I couldn’t have had enough of a coronary last night, Corey left me a link  for Webbspun Ideas who has more information about the Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival. He has a video with Ben Dixon. Go over there and you can hear about it all.

George Romero is going to be doing a midnight showing at the Belcourt for his new movie “Diary of the Dead”. The only other time I’ve ever gone to a screening where the director attended was about ten years ago when John Waters screened “Pink Flamingos” and then answered questions from the audience.

Romero will have showings at midnight on March 21 and March 22.

It was, in a word, sweet.

Oh, and Basil Gogos will also be there. Don’t know Basil Gogos?

Well, now you do.

Can you tell I’m psyched?
