Those wacky, nutty French. They’re always coming up with ways to show us that we American’s are a nation of uncouth people. Their food is better, their wine is better, and their cheese is cheesier. However, yesterday one of their most recognized citizens did something that might have been a stunt from the show Jackass —or business as usual on Jersey Shore. Gerard Depardieu urinated in the aisle of a plane, just before takeoff.

I read a blog post today by the good folks at TKO Graphics about vehicle wrapping. They are predicting that more individuals are going to want to sign up for paid to drive advertising. Of course, that got me thinking about wrapping Moonlight Graham. Moonlight Graham is the name of my Hyundai Sonata. It was named by my friends 6 year old son. Car namings are a big thing with my friends.
Anyway, I started to think about wrapping my car. Of course, this might have a not-so-desired effect on my …

I have, believe it or not, been an idiot on several occasions. Apparently, this is a condition for which one can never be fully cured. You can control the symptoms, even see it go into remission for weeks, months, even decades. But, it’s always lurking within the recesses of your mind (which scientists say is the best place for things to lurk). 

So tonight I watched the President talk about the debt ceiling. Then John Boehner gave a rebuttal. If someone told me I would have to watch the two of them every night, I would weep openly. Of course, America didn’t have to be subject to this. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. In 2008, I gave you the outline of my plan to eliminate the National Debt. Rather than listen to me, you put your faith in Democrats and Republicans. Silly voters. So, …

… but you can shoot a dead Camaro. Well, except in Arizona, where they frown on that sort of thing. It seems that Lauriano Lawrence Lovato, frustrated by the alliteration of his name and the fact that his car wouldn’t start, shot his car. Twice. Both shots went through the windshield and hit the dashboard.

When I was in college (for nearly a decade), being photographed face down in public usually was associated with some sort of consumption. Leave it to Taiwanese college girls to turn it into some sort of artistic “cause” driven activity! Is nothing beyond the reach of political correctness?
Anyway, “planking” as it is known in Taiwan, China, and Australia is becoming quite popular. Apparently you just lie face down and get your picture taken. This is somehow viewed as artistic and deep and brings awareness to a variety of serious world …

That’s right, you read the headline correctly. Apparently there is an elicit tap dancing shoe market. Not only does it exist, but it’s an international crisis! North Korea is trying to buy tap dancing shoes on the black market. Undoubtedly this is some sinister plot by Kim Jong-il to enslave hundreds of thousands of children to a lifetime of dinner theatre. Or worse, maybe he intends to create a nation of Uber Tap Dancers that invade the talent shows of the West and inflict dominance one click at a time! I shudder …

ESPN is going to roll out another 30 for 30 Documentary this Sunday night. The subject will be Michigan’s Fab 5. Since the Wolverine’s were big rivals of my Indiana Hoosiers, I had zero love for the Fab 5. In fact, I used to have a picture of Devo posted at work with the caption “The Real Fab 5.”
Who was the greater Fab 5? Let’s compare:

If you’ve read this blog with any regularity, you know my brain is a little… how shall I put this… off. As such, strange things pop into my head and I feel compelled to explore them. Tonight being no exception, I wondered what it would be like to have to market classic works of literature via twitter. It would be a little challenging because you only have 140 characters. You have to get right to the point.

Uncle Leo passed away this week. If you’re a Seinfeld fan, you remember his signature line “Hello!” Nobody got more mileage out of a simple greeting than Len Lesser, the actor that played Uncle Leo. Although he only appeared in 15 episodes, he was a fan favorite.
I viewed Uncle Leo/Len Lesser as sort of a hero.  He appeared in 167 movies and TV shows. And he did so while being… ummm how do I say this… significantly less than handsome.
