Pirate1974

Anything with Steve McQueen.

It's outrageous!! Last week, the so-called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals perpetrated a barbaric act here in our fair city of Charlotte, North Carolina. At high noon at the corner of Trade and Tryon streets at the very heart of the city, these "ethical" folks locked this poor woman up in a very small cage. Not only that, but she was only dressed in bikini panties and a little black and orange body paint. Oh, and a couple of pasties too. This was with the temperature in the 40s, no less. Shameful. Somebody really should have done something about this. Some of the high rollers from Bank of America and Wachovia in their $1000 suits did take action. They snapped photos of the lady with their camera phones to show their buddies when they went back to their offices. Rumor has it that in other cities these caged women have been completely nekkid while ours was wearing panties and pasties. A concession to the Bible Belt, I suppose. One sensitive fellow, when asked his opinion of this degrading scene, was quoted as saying: "I want her to move that sign so I can see her boobs." Clearly a Man of the 21st Century. The alleged reason for this humiliating display, of course, was the imminent arrival of Satan's Traveling Animal Show aka the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. All I have to say is that these PETA people need to do a better job of promoting these events. If I had known that this was planned, I would have been more than happy to show up and lend my support. I would have even held her sign for her. It's the least I could do.

Opening ceremonies are tomorrow night. While events such as the luge, biathalon, speed skating and curling (?) hold no interest for me at all, I find that I have a whole new appreciation of women's athletics. As an example, I give you one Sasha Cohen, member of the United States team and one of the favorites to win a gold medal in Turin Now I don't recall ever seeing Peggy Fleming or Dorothy Hamill doing this particular move, and while it might not get any points from the judges, it's a perfect 10 on my scorecard. I can't wait to watch me some figger skatin'.

You can see that Clydesdales ad here: Super Bowl Ads 2002

The "magic fridge" was definitely the best of a mediocre selection. The "streaker" lamb was kind of a cute. Most of them weren't even new, just the same old stuff that had already been running for months.

Memo to Mick Jagger: Dude, you should have left the jacket on. If there's something nobody should have to see at halftime of the Super Bowl, it's a 62-year old man prancing around in a belly shirt. All that loose skin flapping around looked like my grandma doing a hootchy kootchy dance. Almost choked on my nachos.

Definitely Carolyn Jones. Hard to get past that Lily Munster look with Yvonne. Man, the hot chick in "The Ten Commandments" was Debra Paget, who played Lilia, Joshua's main squeeze. I don't remember seeing her in any other movie except "Love Me Tender" but she was definitely fine.

With the price of natural gas being twice what it was last year, the warm weather this winter has been great.

That's it.

I've had some toe cheese before but I wasn't about to eat it.

Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements.

"The Green Berets?"

Well, I am "master of the game" after all. Thanks for the accolade there, Sudo. When that song was big (about 1975?), I was working at a place where we had the radio on all day and they played that about every 15 minutes it seemed like. I liked hearing "The Scotsman" again too. If you ever get the chance to see Mike Cross live, check it out. He puts on a great show. He'll be at the Neighborhood Theater here in Charlotte on February 18th and I've already got my tickets.

Jake Delhomme sure picked a bad day to have his worst game of the season. I'm not sure he could have completed a pass if the Seahawks left the field. Disgusting.

Huh? Is anybody being forced to go see this movie? Is there anybody that doesn't know this is the "gay cowboy movie?" Are people showing up at theaters thinking this is a Clint Eastwood flick and being shocked at what it is? Larry McMurtry is a very good writer, Ang Lee is a vey good director and the movie is getting very good reviews, but I have absolutely no interest in the subject matter, so I won't be seeing it. Personal choice.

Yep

It's not "Cagney & Lacey." I'm guessing that wasway's Golden Globes clue refers to Geena Davis of "Commander in Chief." That would make this the theme of one of the funniest shows ever that never got the attention that it deserved. "Buffalo Bill"

Nick Harper might have been able to take that fumble all the way if his wife hadn't stabbed him in the knee on Saturday (accidentally, of course.) Apparently, she was waving a knife at him because he wouldn't talk to her and just happened to stick it in him, just a little. Bizarre. I think everything that happened with Tony Dungy drained all the emotion out of the Colts. They looked dead on Sunday.

"Younger Generation" John Sebastian does that one in the "Woodstock" movie Eating from TV trays, tuned in to Happy Days Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves

Steve Smith as seen by the awesome Chicago Bears defense yesterday Da Bears had no answer for him.

How about those Panthers!! Sticking it to da Bears on their home turf (or bare dirt from the look of it.) Next stop Seattle.

I'd like to see the Redskins win Saturday. Then if the Panthers win, the NFC Championship Game will be here in Charlotte.

Now that "hymenoplasty" sounds like a complete waste of money, but that "tightening" procedure might be worth looking into. I wonder if Blue Cross covers that?

Your guys may have won five Super Bowls, Tom, but our cheerleaders could beat up your cheerleaders. Cheerleaders in Bathroom Brawl

Would that be the Redskins juggernaut that rolled up a whopping 25 yards passing against Tampa Bay? Steve Smith gets more than that by accident. The Bucs should be ashamed of themselves. I'm hoping the Panthers team shows up that smoked Atlanta twice and New England and Tampa Bay, and not the one that laid down against the Cowboys and in the second Bucs game.
