The Most Pierced Woman is more interesting. But, nevermind that.
The Ducks have traded Chris Kunitz for the Penguins’ Ryan Whitney.
Chris Kunitz and Ryan Whitney
Eric Tangradi is somehow involved, but I can’t be bothered. You figure it out.
You’re also searching for Ally Hilfiger, because her daddy, Tommy, is about to have another kid.
Finally, someone has made a sandwich spread that’s a sandwich all by itself. No longer do you have to combine the bacon and the mayonnaise, it’s already done for you! All you need is the white bread, and you are ready to rock! And they call this miracle of modern food preparation Baconnaise. Mmmm.
For more mouth-watering information, visit the Baconnaise website. Mmmm. Website. If nothing else, read about the Bacon Salty, Bacon Spread making people. Their story is something else.
Still, nothing can replace pure, crispy bacon. Mmmm. Bacon.
Bacon. Mmmmm. Bacon.
While this is an unsolicited endorsement, and I have not been in any way paid, compensated, or coerced to cover this nifty new Baconnaise food product . . . I would take a couple of jars of Baconnaise. If the Baconnaise people wanted to show their appreciation to me. That’s all I’m saying. Not quid pro quo, just a friendly gesture of hungry, bacon-loving blogger support.
I missed it. Actually, I forgot it was on. But apparently, Jesse Langseth gave them a mediocre version of “Bette Davis Eyes”. We watched the DVD of City of Ember instead. Not bad.
Here’s another version of Bette Davis Eyes. Speaking of mediocre versions of the song.
Also, from the same guys, is a kinda effed-up version of Blondie’s “Dreaming”. Not that you care, but there ya go!
Now, enjoy the dulcet tones of Kim Carnes doing the original, and so far entirely unsurpassed version:
Although I kinda liked Gwyneth Paltrow doing it in that Duet movie.
All right. That’s it for now. Thanks for listening!
Teacher Lisa Lavoie and male student have been found in West Virginia. The 24 year old Holyoke, Massachusetts teacher disappeared with a 15 year old student.
Lisa Lavoie Ran Away With a 15 Year Old Student. Sounds like a match made in heaven. Uh-huh.
Lavoie had only been teaching at the school for 5 months. She works fast, apparently. 5 months at the school and she practically kidnaps one of the students. Boy, that was destined to be a long-troubled relationship. Don’t almost all those folks get found, anyway?
A synopsis of the episode is here. And. admittedly, I’m late to the party, as searches on methadone really shot up last night, but have fallen back before me starting this post. But, c’est la vie. I go where the trade winds take me.
That’s a House, MD Parody from MadTV. Not great, and definitely shows what a great job Hugh Laurie does as the titular house. His delivery is spot-on, and hard to imitate, even in a parodic manner.
The episode ends with House, MD going cold turkey off the methadone. Which makes no sense. He didn’t halve his dosage, or give it another shot, he just stopped. Which seems like a stretch. I think that’s a story arc they should have kept up for a while, eventually giving House a better reason to dump the methadone than one case–allergic reactions or hallucinations or cumulative side effects over time. Ah, well, not my call. I’m just a lowly watcher of shows.
You’re also looking for the Sand Spider. I assume that’s the Six-Eyed Sand Spider, to be specific. I don’t know why yet, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually.
This is a Six Eyed Sand Spider. Apparently, it Could Be Extremely Deadly to Humans, But Rarely if Ever Bites Them. So, Wikipedia, At Least, Is Unsure. But I Will Avoid Them Just to be Safe.
And don’t call me “Shirley”.
Turns out, Sybil wasn’t really Sally Field, as I had always suspected, but Shirley Ardell Mason. And this was apparently revealed, like, 10 years ago, and I never heard about it.
I saw the original Sybil movie in 1977. It really creeped me out.
There is some question about how real Multiple Personality Disorder is. After the book, and again after the TV movie, reports of Multiple Personality Disorder skyrocketed. Sounds more like a manifestation of Mass Hysteria if you ask me.
Because a Megan Lee Mason is in trouble in Australia for doping a greyhound?
Or the Megan Mason who was a Penthouse Pet?
Megan Mason, a Very Cute Penthouse Pet.
Not much else interesting going on right now. More later, peeps.
I guess that’s why we call it “never ending”. Here’s the LA Times Blog going on about Bristol Palin, who engaged in pre-marital sex and then decided to keep the baby! Shocks and Horrors!
Abstinence advocates just need to increase the rate of marriage. If we could get all these kids married off, then there wouldn’t be any more sex. Nothing enforces a policy of strict abstinence like marriage. Sigh.
Here’s Bristol Palin, talking to Greta Van Sustren, saying she doesn’t think abstinence education is “realistic”. Yeah, you know, it probably isn’t. But implanted GPS trackers and 7:30 PM curfews are pretty realistic. Just saying.
Well, she’ll be needing a lot of diapers. That’s all I’m saying about it.
Joaquin, Looking Quite a Bit More Bad Ass Than He Did on Lettermen.
Seriously, “Wakeen”? I can understand mispronouncing it, like saying “Jo-ack-kwinn”, but misspelling it as “Wakeen”? It sounds more like “wah-keen” than “waking”, and when you hear something like that you have to know it’s not spelled phonetically. That it would at least be “Whaqine” or “Jwokeen” or something messed up from the the trippy-hippy Hollywood set.
“Wakeen”? Really? You peoples. You kill me. No, seriously, I’m laughing on the inside.
Anyway, he was apparently “zonked out of his mind” on Letterman. Apparently, after having been in Walk the Line, he’s decided to take a very Johnny Cash approach to his career.
He reminds of Crispin Glover, kind of. And may have a similar future career arc. In any case, Letterman is no stranger to interviewing weirdos.
What is it with these Hollywood actors with weird names being such freak-a-zoids? Nothing against freak-a-zoids. I’m just saying.
Somebody is going to be needing a drug test. Probably on a recurring basis.
Apparently he died last summer, but you’re looking for him now. He was a friend of the Roloffs, who often appeared on TLC’s Little People Big World. He died during surgery after suffering a torn aorta. Very unfortunate.
Mike Detjen, of Little People Big World, Died Last Summer
In other news, the miscegenation of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren resulted in a nifty new baby boy named Charlie Axel. I hope Samuel L. Jackson doesn’t move in next door. That could be bad news.
Chris Brown arrested? Shocking.
Blink 182 Back Together? I mean, I’m sorry I don’t want to care, but I can’t even want to care about that. Who gives a rat’s hindquarters that Blink 182 is back again?
Blinkin, Winkin and Nod from Blink 182. Apparently, They Set Off To Sell a New Album in a Wooden Shoe.
In other news, or the same basic news you’re all about (didn’t you do anything other than watch The Grammy’s last night? I mean, seriously, in this day and age, who cares?) . . . where was I? Oh, yeah, a very pregnant MIA rocked the house at the Grammy Awards. That’s pretty cool.
A Very Pregnant MIA At the Grammys
Wonder if she already has her breast pumps. Cuz she’s clearly got her Maternity PantyHose On. And she looks like she could us a Orthopedic Maternity Support. I’m just saying.
Well, I ran out of time for the post searching for an embeddeble movie of MIA Rapping at the Grammys. So, I gotta Go. More Later.
I found a video of the M.I.A. Seriously Pregnant Grammy Performance Here.
It’s Bryce Howard. Or, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ron Howard’s way-cuter daughter.
Bryce Dallas Howard is Super Cute.
Yep. It’s true.
Bryce Dallas Howard Out-Cuting The Chicks
I imagine your searching for her because she was on set when Christian Bale cussed out an over-zealous (or amateurish) DP (that would be a Director of Photography). Which has recently been turned into a HIGHLY PROFANE, NOT SAFE FOR WORK Dance Mix:
And, no doubt, to cause much worse ones, as it sounds like it is destined to try solve all problems based on the idea that humanity destroys the purity of the environment, and that our temerity in inventing things causes global warming.
Cory Doctrow posts on Singularity University here at Boing Boing.
And, where it doesn’t, it’ll probably turn out that all the “solutions” are also reviled by the environmentally sensitive. Just like hydroelectric power has been turned into a land-destroying, eco-system unsettling environmental disaster, nuclear energy has been reviled, wind farms come under attack for the noise making people sick and hacking up birds and whatnot, and solar panel installations get held up because it might displace some small bug that might live somewhere in the middle of the desert that apparently can’t live anywhere but where they want to put the solar panels. And so on.
Which is not to say good things won’t come out of this, as I’m sure they will. I just suspect, given that it is sponsored by Google and NASA and presumes a lot of liberal dogmas in its charter, that there will be lots of unproductive social engineering and political agitation to come out of Singularity University, and probably sooner, and more of it, than actual technological benefit.
The university motto: “Preparing Humanity for Accelerating Technolgical Change”. Sounds more like social engineering (and plenty of superior scolding) than a mandate for actual technological innovation, to me. Just saying.
Somebody called in a bomb threat. An easy yet very dangerous way to get out of school for a day.
In other news, Kwame Kilpatrick was Released from Jail after 99 days. Proving, once again, if you’re going to be corrupt and commit all sorts of crimes and be involved in all sorts of graft, be a politician. A liberal Democrat politician? All the better! Get Out of Jail Free!
Hopefully, he has actually learned his lesson and will behave now.
You think the toilet in his jail cell was anything like this Padded Transfer Bench and Commode? Except maybe without the padding?
Christian Bale has a potty-mouth. Last summer, he was arressted on allegations of assault regarding his relatives who came to try to suck money out of him (that’s my theory, anyway).
Now, a new tape has emerged of Christian Bale shouting at a Director of Photography on Terminator: Salvation because he walked into a shot. Sounds like a famous actor who has the weight of a large franchise weighing on his shoulders being a famous actor. Whodda Thunk It?
Whassup, Peoples?
