Is this really the sixth time this show has run? And this time, to spice it up some, we have the guys vs. the gals. It could have been worse, they went through a lot of other scenarios before picking that one:
Top 5 Rejected Survivor Team Ideas
5) Koreans vs. Iraqis
4) Almond Joy Lovers vs. Mounds Lovers
3) BMW Mini Owners vs. Ford Excursion Owners
2) Democrats vs. Republicans
1) Letterman Fans vs. Leno Fans
I got in the office football pool this weekend. I’m a big spender so I got one square for each game. $2 entry and they pay out for $50 for each quarter. If you are really lucky you could win all 4 quarters and pocket big bucks. My numbers for the Tampa Bay/Philadelphia game were 2 and 2. Two is like the worst possible number and I got it both ways. For the Tennessee/Oakland game I got 5 and 6. While six is not a bad number, 5 is the second worst number right after 2. In spite of my lame luck this week I just know I can turn it around next week for the Stupor Bowl – $10 entry fee with each quarter being worth $250.
Actually went for a little drive this afternoon. Real little and the top was up. It has been like 3 weeks since I’ve modified anything on the car and I’m starting to get the heebie-jeebies. I’m not sure what’s next though…I’ve toyed with the idea of replacing the indiglo gages with something from AWD, maybe the MS version. I just can’t leave well enough alone.
Started up, still up.

I think I would love “The Osbournes” if I could actually here Ozzy say fuck instead of bleep. Nothing ruins a good a movie/show on TV faster than bleeps instead of swear words. Plus I think I need to figure out is Ozzy’s brain that addled that he can’t speak coherently most of the time? Or is he just doing a parody of what Spinal Tap would be like 20 years later?
Update – Turns out “The Osbournes” season 1 will be out in early March. I just hope Netflix carries the uncensored version.
Update II – Yes on the uncensored version.
Too cold to even think about going outside. The Miata hasn’t moved all day, almost like it was a Sunday. Spent the day huddled in front of the PC, basking in its electrical warmth.
Tonight I’m on my own movie-wise. Donna will be glued to the tube watching the ladies figure skating in the U.S. Championships from Dallas. I may watch Memento or maybe Ronin.
Started up, still up.

I am in more of an agreement with the review on IMDB than the one that suckered me into renting it that I read on filmcritic.com. At least it was only 90 minutes of my life. We got so much anti-hollywood in this one that it was distracting. Early on in the movie we get a lingering close-up of the phone on a table, obviously a set up for when it will be needed later in a time of trouble, never see it again. A short time later an axe in a woodpile gets the same treatment. Geez.
Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe Saturday. If not, Sunday. But I’m shooting for tomorrow. Really.
