It is hard out here

Oh, snap, no we di’’nt, aight, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers?



Tony come back
In “The Sopranos”, Tony emerges from his coma. The problem is that Tony lapses back into his coma when told George Mason beat U. Conn to advance to the final four.

To give you an idea how much of a long shot they are to be in the final four, George Mason was only slightly favored over actor James Mason, and he died in 1984.

UCLA defeated Memphis 50-45. To give you an idea how low that is there is more scoring at a comic book convention.

There is a term for people who claim to have picked George Mason in their final four of NCAA men’s college basketball tournament: Liars.


Ouch
Actor Randy Quaid is suing the producers of “Brokeback Mountain” claiming he didn’t get paid enough; Quaid is upset because, unlike the two lead actors of “Brokeback Mountain” Quaid didn’t get a piece of the back end.


Since you asked:
So what do I think are the tree most genuine and heart-felt heart break songs? Number one? The Rolling Stones aren’t known for love songs but it is hard to beat “Wild Horses.” Sincerity, pain, touching.

You want angst, I can give you angst. Eric Clapton’s “Bellbottom Blues.” You can hear the tears in the guitar solo.

Concrete Blondes “Joey” is very heart-rendering.

Used to be awesome but now sucks
On my total list of “Things that were awesome but now suck” I have to put going to the movies as the one that has fallen the furthest.

When I was a kid, what was better than going to a movie? Nothing. And we stood in line outside in the cold. Now I won’t go if I can’t find a parking spot close enough.

Forgot about the obscene ticket price – about the same as buying the DVD – and the hosing at the popcorn stand – nine bucks for a popcorn and diet coke – when did commercials come into the picture? And let’s not forget the a-hole yammering on his cell phone, the couple with the crying baby that won’t leave and the fact that every single movie is at least twenty minutes too long.

You punks get off my lawn.
