Random Thoughts for The Week

Random thoughts from the last week…..

TV.. Wednesday’s episode of South Park, “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson”, may have been one of the funniest TV shows ever made in the history of the world. Everyone’s reaction to Randy’s appearance on Wheel of Fortune had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes. If you missed it, it is definitely something to look out for on reruns. Survivorman, on Discovery, has become another TV favorite of mine. Canadian Les Stroud strands himself in some of the most desolate and unforgiving places for seven days and finds a way to stay alive using what he has on him and what he can scrounge up in the wild. The guy is out there all by himself with no camera crew, hauling 60 pounds of camera equipment with him. He does all the filming and setting up of the shots by himself. It’s a pretty sweet show, and yet another reason to love Canada. Dateline NBC’s To Catch a Predator continues to be one of the funniest shows on TV

Movies.. I haven’t seen a movie in a theater in a long time, I’m talking months, so new movies to me are ones that have been seen by millions already. Also, I’m not a film critic, and I only categorize films in two ways, either good or bad. I saw two “new” movies this week, The Departed and Borat. The Departed was great, but would you expect anything less from Scorcese and a cast like that? Even though it was a pretty long flick, it was definitely awesome all the way through. Borat was great as well. Nothing beats cringe humor, plus it made the best use I’ve ever heard of the words “wizard’s sleeve”. That’s all I got on that subject, definitely see these if you haven’t already.

Everything else.. I saw a clip online today of a baby duck with four legs. Why when a human or animal is born with an extra appendage or two, they aren’t normal and 100% functioning? The three armed Chinese baby from a while back was as close as I’ve seen, but arm #3 was still a little fucked up…. I saw a picture of new basketball jerseys that a few colleges are going to be trying out during the conference tournament. They are skin tight (like a tiger) like under armour gear. Why? I can’t see one practical reason for this except to arouse your run of the mill, gay, basketball fan. Grrrrr…. Did you hear Anna Nicole Smith died? .... NY Islanders forward Chris Simon probably won’t see the ice for a LONG time… Anthony’s Pizza makes a killer chicken parm sandwich…. Don’t forget, Daylight Savings Time springs us forward this weekend making it that much more difficult to get up for work Monday morning
