Random Thoughts from a Traveling Thinking Fool...
Filed from a small Southern airport...
Was the phrase “make no mistake about it” popular/used frequently before our imbecile President got elected? It’s a stupid phrase. I wish he’d stop saying it. I also wish unicorns were real.
Did people always “categorically” deny charges or did that only begin when Marv Albert uttered those words after being accused of biting a woman while wearing panties? (I bet they were pretty panties – probably a red lace number, don’t you think?) Hillary might have won New Hampshire, but Marv Albert is the true comeback kid! And, he’s one of the finest broadcasters in the country, so I’m glad he made a comeback!
The Watergate scandal was called “WATERGATE” because that is the name of the building/complex where the burglary took place. This fact seems lost on people, especially journalists. It annoys me that every scandal now is “something-GATE.” To the thousands of reporters who read this site on a daily basis (no sarcasm there), please, eliminate the “gate” suffix from your vocabulary. Also, please write more stories about tigers, whether they are killing visitors to the zoo or not.
Speaking of tigers, if you bet on the “Tiger will kill zoo visitor” proposition that Vegas was offering last year, congratulations. You made out like a bandit.
This woman at the airport looks like she’s about a millisecond away from giving the guy sitting next to her a hand job. I feel like encouraging this behavior, but don’t know if that would be appropriate, especially considering that the guy is clearly not interested.
I didn’t see Jimmy appear on Jay’s show, but I did see Jay appear on Jimmy’s show. They should do that more often! The writers’ strike makes me think Leno is funnier than Letterman. Of course, nobody was better than the late Tom Snyder.
And finally, a word about etiquette. If you are in an all-day training seminar and the very last speaker concludes his incredibly boring two-hour presentation by asking if there are “any questions,” if you have a question, for crying out loud, ask him privately after class. The rest of us don’t want to hear about your stupid case. It was a good thing I wasn’t armed when that guy raised his hand.
