I wish that ripped-off artists would avoid lawsuits and instead perform the gentlemen's act of writing a song that tells the thief to fuck him or herself. Example: Roger Waters' revenge against Andrew Lloyd Weber for plagiarizing a Pink Floyd riff for "Phantom of the Opera."

But it is.

Here in California, they only have fourth graders take one year of CA history. And when we reach high school it's all about the wars and a week or two on the Civil Rights Movement.

That reminds me of my dream last night where I played blackjack with Lee Iacocca, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Dana Carvey, and Mel Torme on some steamboat casino in Mississippi. Franz then loaned me his copy of Henry Ford's sex diary!

Here in Sacramento we had Dorothea Puente who literally "gathered" her elderly victims in her home, killed them for their SS checks, and buried them in her backyard.

So what happens if a married man has two daughters and one day God punishes his wife by turning her into a pillar of salt?

As to Director and Best Film — the top contenders: Iñárritu/Birdman and Linklater/Boyhood — neither of these were epics with serious domestic box office takings. They were, essentially, niche films.

Not surprising considering that past low-rated ceremonies had an abundance of sleeper hits nominated for Best Picture. Most of 2009's BP noms were not blockbusters. I believe that "American Sniper" was the only nominee this year to break $200m.

I can't find the clip but Aguilera did a scarily accurate impression of Sex and the City's Samantha for SNL several years ago.

His Donkey Sauce recipe actually doesn't look bad. It's basically an Alabama White Sauce, sans the vinegar.

Props to the pioneers:

Aw c'mon, Lennox made a song about totalitarian sexual oppression sexy.

Did somebody say, "manservant"?

I'm just happy that Aphex Twin defeated Deadmau5 for Electronic Album :-)

And so you've been baptized by fire. My Filipina mum and myself still refuse to eat it.

Nice, another sociopath with mommy issues.

The show reflects how hip-hop was everything to many Asian-American teens back in the early-mid-90's. When I was growing up in the Sacramento area back then, it was considered to be heresy to be a young Asian who didn't care for the music or culture.

I was going to say, where's the tacky EBM club music?
