All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.

I don't know about the lifetime pass, Lemur. If "Pudgy" had one, it was probably revoked after "Celebrity Fit Club" or "Celebrity Rehab".

Daniel "Pudgy" Baldwin was on Homicide for the first couple of seasons and did a decent job. He should be all alone in third place.

It used to be that Daniel "Pudgy" Baldwin was the only pudgy Baldwin. I guess I have to come up with a new nickname for him.

That's one body I don't want to see tanned and wet down at the reservoir.

Shh, he might read this. He thinks it was just a bad dream.

Springsteen live
Saw Springsteen in Albany last week, another in a long line of shows going back to 1980. He is still rocking the house. Max Weinberg's son Jay (18) has taken over on the drums (Dad had to go be on the Tonight Show) and he was great. Always worthwhile. My 16-year-old had a near-religious experience…

I remember last season that Nigel snapped at Mary in one episode and she toned it way down for the next couple weeks. After a while things got back to normal.

SYTYCDdd vs. AI
The thing that makes me enjoy this show so much more than AI is that the bar is so much higher for entry. On AI they're always bragging about how talented the finalists are every season, but there are always 2-3 people in the last 10 that really aren't very good singers.

John Stossel is the thinking man's Geraldo
Not really, he's just a douchebag.

Don't forget that they started out the season with "Let's bring your family up here and ask them how they felt about the judges' comments"… I'm glad that fell away quickly.

That's awesome. Those shiny pants would be even better with rollerskates.

My Change is Gonna Come?
I don't know if anybody else noticed it, but I'm pretty sure Adam sang "My change is gonna come", which I thought might have meant he was waiting for a particularly slow waitress. Mrs. Hipster thought he might have been talking about second puberty or something.

Channel 9 from Windsor, I remember it well. I miss the hours of curling on Sunday afternoon particularly. How 'bout those Tigers?

It is a great song. Mindy Smith did a nice cover with Dolly singing backup.

In all of the movies that had Data in them, I always dreaded his close-ups because his makeup was so terrible. I don't understand why they couldn't do a better job with that.

"Eden" was in heavy rotation in syndication when I was a lad, so it is one of the TOS episodes that I've seen the most. I always enjoyed the camp of the whole thing, plus I had a thing for Chekov's girlfriend.

Headin' out to Eden, yeah brother!

I'd think that the Borg would just assimilate the technology and move on. Why modify anything?

Ewok?
Anyone else notice how much George Clinton looks like an ewok these days?
