This, along with the popularity of NASCAR, are what I consider to be the most recent Biblical signs of Armageddon.

Stupidity incarnate... or, he oughta be dead!

She's said she will voluntarily surrender ASAP. It's a 5-month sentence and she says she wants to be out in time for planting season. WHY do I know that? Why, why, why do I know that?

I think of it more as an awareness issue. I know many people from many differing cultures whom are unaware of goings on outside of their borders. I happen to view the entire world as an opportunity to laugh, or cry, and try not to miss an opportunity to do so. I thought Martha Stewart was syndicated worldwide (I was obviously incorrect) and an equal-opportunity annoyance. (Sheesh, it becomes tiring being an apologist for my ethnocentric countrymen. S'pose Ireland will take me back?)

You know what they say, DWB, "Good poets imitate..." I couldn't come up with anything either, so I mugged Ronnie's line to great effect!

Missed this one earlier. Timing, timing and more timing. Well done. Better an Iraqi prison, or Guantanamo Bay at least. Speaking of US prisons, and you were, Martha "Gag Me With a Spade" Stewart is planning to surrender soon to serve her sentence, regardless of her impending appeal.

It's on my list for the weekend, if only for research puposes here. I'm not big on going to the cinema here because so many people aspire to your screen name, RK. Most times it's easier simply to wait for the DVD release; usually before the ink is dry on the cinematic release reviews.

Pshaw, I've been spelling his name wrong...

Blatant thievery completed. Thanks, CR!

http://kevxml2adsl.verizon.net/_1_2...ed=ap&top=1 Johnny Ramone, of 'The Ramones,' Dies at 55 LOS ANGELES - Johnny Ramone, guitarist and co-founder of the seminal punk band "The Ramones," has died. He was 55. Ramone died in his sleep Wednesday afternoon at his Los Angeles home surrounded by friends and family, his publicist said. He had battled prostate cancer for five years, and was hospitalized in June at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Ramone, born John Cummings, was one of the original members of the Ramones, whose hit songs "I Wanna be sedated" and "Blitzkrieg Bop," among others, earned the band induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. The band's singer, Joey Ramone, whose real name was Jeff Hyman, died in 2001 of lymphatic cancer. Bassist Dee Dee Ramone, who was born Douglas Colvin, died from a drug overdose in 2002. Johnny Ramone founded "The Ramones" in 1974 with Joey Ramone, DeeDee Ramone and Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band. A tribute concert and cancer research fund-raiser was held Sunday in Los Angeles to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary. It featured performances by Los Angeles punk band X, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Henry Rollins and others. Along with his wife, Linda Cummings, Johnny Ramone was surrounded at his death by friends Eddie and Jill Vedder, and Rob and Sherrie Zombie. Other friends who gathered at his Los Angeles home included Lisa Marie Presley, Pete Yorn, Vincent Gallo and Talia Shire.

Yes, Anubis, that's what Jean Paul said, but I was paraphrasing so as to avoid the Gallic gall. Even most Parisians hate Parisian cab drivers...

"Butler died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Hayden, Idaho..." Too bad, that, he deserved to suffer, the hateful bastard.

For the morbidly voyeuristic... http://thanatos.net/mementomori/main.php

He should be fine, as long as he steers clear of bathrooms. He must have been lucky though, finding a bathroom in France. (cue long list of Gallic stereotypes) Hehe, Anubis, don't get me started. Too late... Hell is a cab ride in Paris, a never ending cab ride in Paris! (Edit: Cue long list of irate Parisian guest posters.)

Just for accuracies' sake, it's "Car 54, Where Are You". http://imdb.com/title/tt0054528/

No, it's actually much worse than that, Mr. Night. Many Americans have become so wrapped up in the technology of the 'net and the sociology of impatience that they have completely lost respect for the language. Examples of 'net culture abound: "U R so stoopid, U shud dye, lol, cuz U R stoopid!"

You are a sick, sick bloke, Teddy. It's no wonder Mrs. Teddy has the largest collection of rolling pins in the UK. (Besides, bacteria travel better.)

Silly American that I am, this is the first person who came to mind... http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_mrwhipple.htm Not much of a TV culture over here, right?

I'm a huge fan of alliteration, Anubis, but that just messed with my mind! Edit: Note that Mr. Thirteen's comment appears out of order as I was busy correcting a small problem. It turns out that I, yet again, failed to log in and my comment appeared as that of a guest.

"Tourette's is a constant battle between chaos and control, having a compulsion and trying to control it, and that translates into music," he said. Interesting translation. I've always cherished Wolfgang as the ultimate eccentric, and his forays into public shock-speech, as documented in numerous diaries/journals were something I always thought to be challenging the uptight staus quo. I'd be crushed to find it proven involuntary.

Doubtlessly so, GR, I just post these as information. I'm involved in a Hollyweird DP that counts some very obscure individuals. I only post here the ones I think might be mildly interesting. You'd be amazed the number of gaffers, grips and Fx techs who jump the shark every year.

None of the above. (Lord, how I wish that were an option on the ballot in the upcoming US presidential election!) I am involved in the film industry on a support level. Obits like these arrive in the Variety subscriber's daily enews. Gerry Peroni was one of those behind-the-scenes forces on many, many films. Check her out at IMDB.com . Hmm... behind-the-scenes is probably the antithesis to famous.
