Wow, who knew so many people cheated on crossword puzzles? My site has a record day due to my mentioning that Jim Belushi wore a costume in Trading Places. Sadly, my review didn’t mention that it was a gorilla suit, which was the answer to the New York Times question. Thankfully, though there was a …

Jessica Simpson eats meat
She remains genius in a “is she really that stupid or is she just a really fun girl?” way. I’m guessing you won’t see Janeane Garafolo wearing that shirt regardless of whether she’s a vegetarian or not. I realized that this sounded like I was implying that Garafolo was a lesbian, which probably isn’t true. I …
Can we be pimps?
I was just watching a bit of HBO’s Hard Times at Douglass High, about the problems of an inner city school.
Is divorce a leading cause of addiction?
You know I bet about ten years ago Bill Murray’s wife was like he smokes a little dope and drinks a bit, but he’s fine. Now that she wants a divorce because he’s an addict. Are they getting divorced because he’s an addict or is he an addict now that she wants a divorce?
The Class Politics of Clothing
I’m of the belief that it costs exactly the same to make a nice tailored suit as it does to make a shabby cheap looking one, but that rich people want poor people to be readily identifiable and poorly dressed.
What would a fish do with a Bicycle
A woman needs a man Like a fish needs a bicycle When you’re tryin to throw your arms around the world Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World – U2
Someone deserves credit for inventing this
Who was the first person ever to shoot someone in a movie with their gun tilted to one side? They really need to be applauded for their contribution to cool. I’m guessing it was Wesley Snipes or a rapper, but the subject definitely deserves research. Well, not be me, but by someone. Note: It’s only …

Sheryl Crow – sadly not John Lennon
Didn’t we learn anything from the Paul McCartney “Freedom” debacle? John Lennon wrote that accepting that love is all you need was “easy,” but writing a decent song about it – not so much.
Girls Kissing Girls 13 Years Later
Thirteen years after Jill Sobule’s hit I Kissed a Girl, Katy Perry is also dipping into forbidden waters with huge success, and yet amazingly despite the fact that Sobule’s video features that pure essence of manhood that is Fabio, the original is still about 100 times more dangerous and subversive.
I want to be a sex tape catburgler
Yes, Verne Troyer has a sex tape. Yes, it made it to the internet, and yes, it was supposedly stolen. All these sex tapes and every single one of them hitting the web because of theft. Is there a large cabal of sex tape thieves out there? How does one become a sex tape catburgler? I …
Seinfeld OK’s Carlin
I suppose that it’s nice that Jerry Seinfeld wrote a loving remembrance of George Carlin for the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/24/opinion/24seinfeld.htm?_r=1&oref=slogin But really what’s the point of someone applauding an artist for taking chances, always sticking his neck out, and risking angry derision, when you are in the same profession and have done absolutely none …
George Carlin is Dead
The world is instantly a less rational and fun place to be. https://bradlaidman.com/uncategorized/george-carlin/ Actually, though the funniest thing I ever heard Carlin say was on the Tonight Show, and it’s a wonder that he got away with it at the time. In much the same way that All in the Family could probably never exist …
The Man Without Fear!
And I — I have shown him … that a man without hope is a man without fear.
Hulk Smash Iron Man
I’ve always been amazed at how badly Marvel has been run given their warehouse of characters. They finally have worked things out to an extent. Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk – the same movie. Create some powerful being, set it against an evil version of itself, toss a hot chick in the mix. For …
I’ll be your billboard
I hate advertising, but really I hate to work for a living even more. This woman gets 500 dollars a month to drive a billboard. For only $5000 a month, I’ll be your own personal NASCAR vehicle. I’ll wear your shirt logos, your hat logos, and a sign on my head that says “I’m Pepsi’s …
