Remember This One?

Well, #1 moved into his SF abode yesterday, and I helped.  I am no longer the heavy lifter I used to be, but that was all handled by the moving company anyway.  However, on a side note, my biceps are still too damn big.  I did help take apart and put their bed back together.  My major contribution was making all the screws stayed in one place.  We had some awesome take-out from Mama Ji’s afterward.  I love Chinese food when it is done right.

Football season will be upon us soon.  My pool will be kicking off as well and I’m checking to see if we can get the fantasy league reinstated after last year’s hiatus.  One of the funniest things I’ve encountered on the topic is the “Why your team sucks” by Drew Magary.  You’ll get more laughs out of one paragraph than a month’s worth of my blogs.  Hopefully you can get a few free views, but I just paid $8 for a monthly subscription.

I’m sometimes concerned that my favorite celebs are not always tuned into reality.  Jake Gyllenhaal recently said “More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times".  And then I came across this.


I saw that Charlie Watts will not be going out on The Stones’ next tour due to health issues.  One site referenced a “shock health update”.  I felt this was a little over the top, since 80 years olds are not supposed to live a rock and roll lifestyle.

Nepotism queen Meghan McCain has now left The View and there were several heartfelt comments from viewers such as "Who else feels that Meghan McCain can fuck off into the sunset forever?" and "Please stay off TV forever now".  She will now be producing a Lifetime movie starring Heather Locklear.  Heather Locklear?  WTF, wasn’t Yasmine Bleeth available?

I came across this and shared it with The Wig and his brother, The Running Beast.  Apparently there’s a possibility that this guy is their oldest brother’s love child.  Who knew?

In closing, I urge you all to listen to Addison and practice self-care. An important aspect of self-care would be not to try to walk in these shoes the Gaga Lady was sporting recently.

The Wig Is Old

The Wig, whom I’ve herein described alternately as "one of the most loyal and generous friends I've ever had" and "a shadowy figure from Queens", hits 63 today.  I decided I needed to get this post up before I call him with well wishes.  He’ll be overjoyed when he finds out he is the lead subject of today’s post.  I consider it my birthday gift to him.  We get to connect with him and the Mrs. later this month at his new Richmond manse, where SB1 recently visited.  We’re hoping to coax Dr. Joe and wife up from NC for the event.

I had a minor complaint about underboob coverage in my last post and it seems Yahoo got the message.  I caught the first article below where Miley combined underboob and a thong in a modest display.  She is also learning how to operate a tractor, so she has a means of employment when she goes broke and people stop paying attention to her.

I caught two offbeat obits in the NYT yesterday.  The first states that Frenchy Cannoli’s “hash was paradigm shifting."  I’ve had my paradigm shifted a few times, but I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some of his product if it is still extant. And Rickie Lee Jones’ first hit inspiration has shuffled off this mortal coil.

As #1 said, leave the gun, take the cannoli.
