You Want Cute?....I Got Yer Stinkin' Cute Right Here!

Charlie Bit My Finger!

The Key To Wedded Bliss?...Honesty!

This woman is such a freakin' mess I'm beginning to wonder if it's even real. From FOX's (who else) Moment OF Truth:

Would "No Country For Gary Busey" be so bad?

This is Gary Busey being interviewed by an 11 year old at The United Nation Children's Foundation Oscar after-party.

Just a little reminder that no matter how bad your day is, at least you're not Gary Busey.

Breaking News - Prince No Longer Hip!

It appears His Royal Badness will need hip replacement surgery.

After some concern on my part that he would get some really unhip donor hip from say - a Jonas Brother, I feel better the new hip will be an artificial titanium one. That sounds pretty hip, that titanium stuff is in my really cool razors.

What I don't feel better about is his needing hip replacement at all. I now feel really really old.

The Smell Of Fresh Steroids Is In The Air.

Springtime in AZ. We had some nice thunderstorms last night. Spring Training for America's Pastime is underway and the first Cactus League game is in one short week. Any given day at 1pm at any given baseball park in the valley you can sit back, enjoy a cold one (or three) in the warm sun and do nothing.

It doesn't differ really from what I do the other 48 weeks of the year, it's just a more legitimate reason.

Here's a rare pre-steroids rookie Barry Bonds baseball card I found.

Ryan's Last Day.

Our IT Director Ryan Jones quit. I followed him around with my camera on his last day.

We may need emergency surgery...in the studio.

As BNL say, "I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral". Nothing is funnier than serious injury on a Home Shopping Network set, right?

These are two of my favs, not exactly new but worth the reprise. First, it's O'Dell and The Sword:

Secondly, I call it - "and that has never happened":

The Real Top Five Super Bowl Ads.

Have you seen the USA Today Ad Meter results for the Super Bowl Ads?

They've been doing this Ad Meter stuff for awhile, they give 200+ adults a dial to rate the ads, then that becomes the de facto standard we must use. Or so they'd like. I have a much better and inherently more accurate system. Me.

So here now are The Real Top 5 Super Bowl ads in order (video links provided):

1 - Puking E-Trade Baby - The Best. I know the talking baby thing has been done before but this one is so nonchalant it somehow works so much better. And the puking payoff is priceless. The Ad Meter puts The Dog Training The Clydsdale at #1, no suprise. Who doesn't love a good horse-saved-from-the-glue-factory-by-yet-another-animal story? You could almost hear the collective "Awwww". Didn't make me want a Bud, but I am an E-trade member now.

2 -Pepsi Stuff with Justin Timberlake Well done. Nice to see celebrities not take themselves so seriously. "and then, JT, we close with you getting hit in the head with a flying car door." USA Today has the Fed-Ex pidgeons at #2. Not Bad.

3 -Let's Run Over Richard Simmons I liked how the Bridgestone Ad started out as a typical wildlife avoiding tire commercial then went to The Twilight Zone. The payoff is the guy avoiding Alice Cooper but having serious thoughts about running down Mr. Simmons. Too Funny. The Ad Meter had the other Bridgestone spot - the one where all the animals scream - as #3. Again, the animal bias.

4 -The Coke Parade Balloons No dialogue in the ad. The expression on the Stewie balloon made it worth it. Number 4 on the Ad Meter was Mouse Attacks Man With Doritos. I liked it too, just not as much.

5 -Bud Light Fire Breather Bud Light consistantly has the best creative. My favorite Bud Light commercial was not in The Super Bowl but worth a look, espcially for you dog lovers that want to know what your dog is actually thinking: The Ability To Talk To Animals. The Ad Meter also had the Fire Breather at #5.

Honorable mention goes to the other E-trade spot Baby Rents A Clown but it's one client per Top 5. My Rules.

There Oughtta Be A Law!

So I read there are some 1,102 bills filed so far for this years Arizona legislative session. I'm sure some of the proposed laws are good, and some are flippin great!

Like the law to forbid human cloning. It actually reads you can't "intentionally or knowingly perform human cloning". I guess if I were to accidentally clone myself I could do so without fear of ending up in the slammer. Either one of me. Good to know. Rest assured I will do my best to prevent such an accident, one of me bouncing around this planet is plenty, believe me.

How about making it a law to get free air and water for your car if you buy gas. A Law? Seriously? Hey, I'm all for free stuff but what exactly was the process that led up to proposing such a law? Was someone so incensed at paying 50 cents for the service they demanded legislative action? House Bill 2664. I'm sure in someones world there is nothing more pressing.

Then there is the proposal to make it okay for bake sales to circumvent The Department of Health rules and standards. Man, that's gonna save me a buttload of time not having to wash my hands in brownie preparations. I'll be one happy hombre if that baby passes!

Then there's texting behind the wheel. It's already against the law to text and drive in Phoenix, now all of Arizona wants a piece of that action. This may cramp my style a bit. I live in Phoenix and as it is now I have to go to Glendale to do my texting while driving. I busted out this entire blog once I crossed 43rd Avenue. If that law passes I will no longer have any reason to go to Glendale.

Maybe accidental me will hawk some brownies by the free air and water station at one of G-Dales 467 AM/PMs.
