Back in the early ‘70s the killing spree of the Manson Family chilled Hollywood celebrities to the bone, my how things have changed. Despite having bruiser Arnold Schwarzenegger around as Governor, the city of Los Angeles is currently under siege by the celebrities themselves, and it seems to have left local law enforcement agencies completely …

Celebrity Disease
The guy is so nice it’s almost like killing Bambi after killing his mother first right in front of him, but I just don’t get how even diseases are dominated by celebrity these days. I gave to breast cancer because I love Sex and the City. Want to give to autism? No, I’ve never been …
Of Course Scott Baio is 45 and Single
The weakest idea for a reality show yet. Therapy or bragging? I was 16 in 1982 when Scott Baio appeared in the movie Zapped, with Willie Aames, whose IQ decreased by close to 100 points from Eight is Enough to Charles in Charge. Zapped was an awful movie and yet any male of my generation …
My Movie Rules
I have two movie rules. My aunt has similar rules in her apartment. At my Aunt’s, there is to be no Wheel of Fortune on the TV. I could probably watch hardcore porn at my Aunt’s but for some reason some Vanna White earns you an immediate dismissal. My two movie rules are:
Keef’s Autobiography: A Preview
Keith Richards just got offered 7 Million Dollars to write his autobiography, which I’m guessing won’t be written by Keith. Here is my guess as to what Keith would write if he had to do it all by himself. “I remember me dad buying me first guitar. It had six strings. … I vaguely remember …
AFI’s 100 Years … 100 Passions List
AFI’s 100 Years … 100 Passions List I always like to check out what the old stodgy folk think are the greatest films of all time. They just released a list of their favorite chick flicks er romantic movies of all time. These are the same people that said that Tootsie was the second …
Ban the Spelling Bee
I believed it when I was fifteen and I believe it now decades later. Grammar is Fascist and spelling should be optional. Punctuation is alright as long as nobody tells you what you can and can’t do with it. It’s like making kids learn to play and listen to boring music. No eight year old …
The McRib Con
McRib the World’s most successful Con Job Everyone loves the McRib sandwich! Well, sort of. Actually, everybody just cracks up laughing every time they think about them. “Woo hoo the McRib! I’ve got to have one of those just to tell my grandkids about it.” Then everyone tries it and remembers that the reason they …
Hanging in Hell with Plato and Socrates
See – this is the sort of stuff I worry about for like a second, giggle and then quickly move on. What if there is a heaven or a hell and when you die you get to meet all of the people who previously lived on earth? Everyone always talks about meeting dead celebrities …
I Was Sort of in Advertising For Two Days
Relive this this one as it happened! So I took this job with this company that made me show up for a whole day of work. They want me to sell coupons door to door for 6-8 months and then they promise that they will make me rich. I’m guessing that I last until Thursday. …

Glory Road
Man, I hate getting burned by movies “based” on true stories. Have we not advanced a step since Cary Grant pretended to be straight both in real life and on the big screen as Cole Porter in “Night and Day.” For the life of me I just don’t understand why they have to lie. They, …
World’s Worst Sexual Harrasser
Florida sheriff’s Sgt. David London, a 24 year old veteran of the force resigned in March in the midst of sexual harassment complaints from female officers, including one who said London told her that he had to stop his patrol car at least four times on every shift in order to masturbate. My where do …
I Had Completely Forgotten About This Job
I needed to get some licenses for a Chicago job that fell through. One was the stockbroker Series 7 and the other was a Principal’s 24. The Principal is the guy in charge of making sure nothing mega illegal happens. I went to this interview in the Larry Flynt Building. This guy Gary …

I Bartended Twice
I figured that if I got a job as a bartender that it would hopefully bring in some cash in a semi fun environment during which time I would write something a lot more significant than this. Bartending School was pretty fun. There was a girl there whose name was swear to god …
F the Oscars: Vote Johnny Depp
Survivor isn’t the greatest reality show of all time. Award shows are, and everybody knows that The Academy Awards, which give out those cherished Oscars they beg you not to sell, the King of the genre. As a TV viewer, I wouldn’t miss a second of it. As someone with half a brain, it means …
