The first time we saw him was on Johnny Carson YEARS (probably decades, which makes me sad) ago. He killed it and Johnny was laughing hysterically through the whole sit down portion. I was not surprised Drew had a show a few years later.
I was going to write “in between … the sheets” but thought I’d leave it for one of the “mind-always-in-the-gutter-ites” here. My apologies. I under estimated.
Good job!!
A true reason to celebrate, I’m sure Turner classic movies, is honoring this man in some way today, let’s look: 8AM The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone; 10AM Lolita; 1PM What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?; 3:30PM Two For The Seesaw; 5:45PM The Night Of The Iguana; 8PM All Quiet On The Western Front; 10:30PM Imitation Of Life; 12:30AM Bride of Frankenstein; 2AM Bright Victory; 4AM Naked City; 5:45AM Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman.
Did you miss it? Me Too! Is it too much trouble, Ted! I used to wonder how CNN got so liberal, not anymore!
All the more reason to just stop after the second one. Sorry, ScottDS, 3 and 4 were decent to good action flicks, but didn’t deserve the name Die Hard attached to them. Ditto the upcoming one in yippee-ki-ay, Mother Russia, but still looking forward to Bruce Willis doing what he does oh-so-well.
At what point did moving into the future become a rapid decline into 19th century technology?
Promoting so-called green energy involves the promotion of bicycles, omnibuses (but for modern sensibilities we’ve shortened it ‘buses’), trains, and windmills. Now some company in California (go figure) wants to start shipping people and goods around in … wait for it … blimps:
Slash spending on space programs and start having people travel around in transportation that turns a 4 hour flight into a 14 hour slog. No, thank you.
So the US Post Office is going broke (again), so they’ve announced that to save money, starting in August they’re no longer going to be delivering mail on Saturdays. But we should shut up and thank them, because just like roads and bridges, we wouldn’t have mail if it weren’t for the government, right?
I asked a postal worker in the Seattle area, the last time USPS was considering shutting down on Saturdays and at the same time raising stamp costs, “So the Post Office is reducing service AND AT THE SAME TIME making it more expensive to send a letter? What’s up with that?”
The answer I got was basically a shoulder shrug..
Gotta love monopolies..
Can you name the only other industry that gets away with this kind of ridiculous behavior? … that’s right: Airlines.
I’m starting to think that “United”, “American”, “Delta”, etc. are all fronts for the federal government. … hey, it’s as good a theory as any..
I remember riding the train a couple of times when I left home for college. The cost, even in the early 80s was more than the cost of a plane ticket. And a plane trip that was a couple of hours would take all day on the train.
The views from the drinking … uh, I mean lunch car were nice, though..
Not for me! I’ve been all over the continent, including Canada, on the train ‘cuz my daddy was a fireman and then an engineer so we rode free on his pass.
I get your point though about the cost. I love a train.
Well, I had a pass as a railroad employee myself, but when in the Air Force, I still held my seniority rights and had a half-price pass. The trip only cost me $14.
Jonelle Eschbach, the woman who questioned Paterno in that grand jury, posted on Facebook after the presentment was released that he shouldn’t be fired and Paterno was originally “praised” by a source in the AG’s office for acting appropriately.
Sandusky had multiple football job offers after he retired from PSU but his desire to keep working at the Second Mile, not rumors of sexual abuse, killed the deals.
The Freeh Report specifically exonerates Paterno on Sandusky retirement because the process began before the 1998 allegation even happened.
It appears that McQueary played in Second Mile golf events after episode.
Paterno followed up twice with McQueary and Mike told him he was OK with how the situation was handled.
Today is the 102nd anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth. So what does Google do for a ‘Google doodle’ today? A sketch celebrating “Mary Leakey … a British paleoanthropologist, who discovered the first fossilized Proconsul skull, an extinct ape now believed to be ancestral to humans, and also discovered the robust Zinjanthropus skull at Olduvai Gorge.”
An important discovery, I suppose, but seems to me that being instrumental in bringing down the Evil Empire – the Soviet Union – makes some skull fossil pale in comparison. Then again Google is run by a bunch of knee-jerk Lefties.
Somewhere along the line, the Leakeys and the National Geographic society were involved in a scam which included the substitution of certain animal (pig) bones in what was supposed to be some sort of pre-human biped fossil, Lucy as I recall, remains supposedly found in Africa. Almost anything regarding the “theory” of evolution is totally refutable when taken alongside the Biblical record of God’s 6 day Creation.
Not for nothin’, Daniel, but you’re a self-respecting freedom lover. Unless you were just there out of curiosity on the mighty Gipper’s birthday, what the hell you doing using Google?
One of the funniest shows on TV back in the day. Drew Carry’s wasted on the Price is Right.
“Oh, you say you don’t like your job? There’s a support group for that. It’s called Everybody, and they meet at the bar.”
Amen to that! Bonus points for a pre-plastic surgery Christa Miller to boot.
Definitely a funny show!
Hm. Lovely.

Has this info been confirmed by Baghdad Bob?
Was that a dream sequence or a nightmare?
I love Drew & he’s gotten himself in good physical shape lately, but I also liked him chubby. Price is Right is pretty funny sometimes, too.
The first time we saw him was on Johnny Carson YEARS (probably decades, which makes me sad) ago. He killed it and Johnny was laughing hysterically through the whole sit down portion. I was not surprised Drew had a show a few years later.
So…TCR is a “chubby chaser”? Who’d a thunk it?!
I revealed that many posts/comments ago. You must have missed it. But I also like the skinny ones and the ones in between …
… 3 … 2 … 1 … gopher ball, anyone? goozer? anyone?
Must…resist…low…hanging…fruit…
I was going to write “in between … the sheets” but thought I’d leave it for one of the “mind-always-in-the-gutter-ites” here. My apologies. I under estimated.
Good job!!
I do aim to please.
I know, I know…everyone used to be your boyfriend!
Better shape up, she might be auditioning for new blood!
ORLY?
HA! Nice choice.
Like.
Oh, I know what the ladies like!
Hey…from her lips to my keyboard!
Today is Ronald Reagan’s 102nd birthday.
My one true love. I miss him.

Over at Commentarama Films, my look back at the Die Hard series continues:
http://commentaramafilms.blogspot.com/2013/02/guest-review-die-hard-with-vengeance.html
How timely. Willis just spoke on the Second Amendment (i saw it on Drudge).
I clicked on your link and read your review, causing me to realize that I haven’t seen that one yet. I need to have a Die Hard-a-thon soon.
Thanks for stepping up with your bad self, ScottDS.
There’s a “Hard-a-thon” joke in there somewhere.
I thought the same thing. It is always nice when our inner 14 year olds are on the same page.
If it lasts more than four hours, serious injury could occur, consult your doctor!
All the more reason to just stop after the second one. Sorry, ScottDS, 3 and 4 were decent to good action flicks, but didn’t deserve the name Die Hard attached to them. Ditto the upcoming one in yippee-ki-ay, Mother Russia, but still looking forward to Bruce Willis doing what he does oh-so-well.
I don’t think “it” means what you think it means.
Tex –
Your comment might be the first time anyone referred to my “bad self.”
And yes, check out the film at your leisure – it’s a lot of fun!
Y’all never disappoint.
That comment was supposed to be for Tink up there. I don’t know what happened.
But ScottDS, stick around. It gets a lot badder!!
Coffee, krullers, and (no)complaints(yet)!

We need monorail!
Your guvner is working on it!!!
We already have one of those in Vegas. BTW, it’s going broke, and has never been in the black since starting operation.
Oh, the humanity!!
Too soon.
“Oh, the humanities!”
Sorry TCR, I was not actively trying to steal your line! It just worked out that way!
The glory that was Greece, the grandeur that was Rome.
Knowing how your analytical mind works, the last part of that sentence should read “, and the idiocy that is -fritz-.”
I appreciate your complimenting me on my anal-ytical mind, but you shouldn’t. Anyone could have figured that out.

You will take what they deign to give you and like it!
Look for the union label in the unemployment line.
Hey, man, packages will still be delivered (for now).
I asked a postal worker in the Seattle area, the last time USPS was considering shutting down on Saturdays and at the same time raising stamp costs, “So the Post Office is reducing service AND AT THE SAME TIME making it more expensive to send a letter? What’s up with that?”

Amtrak is in there somewhere.
Right.. forgot about Amtrak.. Another wonderful federal boondoggle.
I remember riding the train a couple of times when I left home for college. The cost, even in the early 80s was more than the cost of a plane ticket. And a plane trip that was a couple of hours would take all day on the train.
The views from the drinking … uh, I mean lunch car were nice, though..
When railroads still ran passenger service, it cost $28 to ride from Ft. Worth, TX to Denver, CO, on the train. True story.
Not for me! I’ve been all over the continent, including Canada, on the train ‘cuz my daddy was a fireman and then an engineer so we rode free on his pass.
I get your point though about the cost. I love a train.

“You think you’re so tough with your tattooed chola brows? Let me know when you’re serious, ????!“
The “????” should read as “cyka” in cyrillic (I thought I had changed the typeface so it would get past the filter), pronounced “suka”.
*sigh*
There is no way she will ever come to regret this I am sure, since online romances with Russian tattoo artists are well known for their longevity.
Guess where her name is tattooed on him. And “longevity” figures into it, me thinks.

Facts you may not know about the Jerry Sandusky scandal, and nothing but:
Was McQueary’s swing as good as Sandusky’s?…truth doesn’t matter,Eric!

Ronnie would have said it is the 63rd anniversary of his 39th birthday.
