We gonna Sarah Palin by failin' to stay in what we're a sayin', Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers
Two airlines are considering charging passengers to stand during the flight, and then they'll fine them for not wearing a seat belt.
Next airlines will charge a seat belt buckling instructional lesson tuition, a beverage cart knee-cap massage charge, and a useless captain landmark information consultant fee.
Now if the airlines could just figure out how milk money out of our hatred for all airlines executives, they would have something.
Paris Hilton is in court in Los Angeles in a lawsuit for not promoting her movie. Not sure about this. The reason the movie didn't do well isn't because Paris didn't promote it, it was because Paris was in it in the first place.
Dogs are being trained to sniff out medical problems, like diabetes and skin cancer. That's odd, because the dogs I know seem to be trained to sniff out hemorrhoids.
There is a picture at the G-8 conference that nails President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy happily checking out the shapely backside of a young, pretty girl. In their defense, both leaders claim it merely reminded them to come up with a firm stimulus package.
Since you asked:
Might have come up with something last night. Marinated the shrimp in the usual olive oil and Old Bay seasoning. Grilled on soaked bamboo skewers with pineapple chunks.
Lex's Yum Yum sauce:
Mix a big tablespoon scoop of mayo, a good splash of rice vinegar, a smaller dollop of soft butter, a good couple tablespoons of honey, strong dash of garlic powder and smoked paprika and Old Bay, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix. Should be pink.
2 to 1, cups chicken broth and rice in the rice cooker. Chop parsley.
On a bed of rice sprinkle on the chopped grilled pineapple, place on the shrimp and then lightly drizzle the Yum Yum sauce and "bam" with chopped parsley.
Tall cold glass of Chardonnay and you failin' to be like Palin 'cause you whalin' and sailin' on the . . . oh, you got the idea.
Sacha Baron Cohen
For me, there were distinct stages of "getting" Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy characters. Stage 1 was figuring out Ali G wasn't a real guy, it was a cartoonish character. Stage 2 was realizing Cohen wasn't making fun of the type of character, in Ali G's case a moronic Muslim/Raggae/Wanna-be-Rapper, Cohen was, stage 3, making fun of the people who believed such an idiot could exist in the first place and then, a, sucking up to him or patronizing, or b, getting furious and hating him. Either way, the result is hilarious.
The only un-funny reaction is if and when somebody gets it's a prank, then the joke is over. That is why SBC has had to retire the characters Ali G and Borat.
What the what the what the?
So my longtime a.L.b.b. readers - all four of them - are asking;
Lex, what the what the what the? All this time you have postured that you were keeping your blog old school. You said it was an intentional ironic statement to have a blog with just words and no gadgets. The anti technology technology, just content.
(So?) Lex
What the hell is with the pictures?
Oh, the pictures. Well, after long consideration I decided that newspapers have been using pictures since the 1800's so, it isn't all that high tech. It gives my readers - all ten of them - something new and different to look at. And I am keeping the photos to a minimum.
Plus I just figured out how to upload them . . .
