Let me say this about that. OH MY GOD!!!! Oprah Winfrey is hanging it up after being the queen of daytime talk shows for twenty-five years. She has instructed bored housewives how to act and what to think for over a quarter century. Now, there is no daytime sheepdog to herd the flock. Last week, we had a minor scare […]
Let me say this about that. You probably have heard them all: Seeing is believing – What you see is what you get – Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – A picture is worth a thousands words. Fundamentally, we have been taught since childhood that if we can actually see something, it is […]
Let me say this about that. In 1992, a new movie was released called “White Guys Can’t Jump”. It was a movie about two pick-up basketball players – one white and the other black – and had, as an underlying theme, an ascertion that white guys can’t slam-dunk a basketball. Stars Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes did […]
Let me say this about that. Americans are a sports-loving bunch. Show the average American guy a game that involves a ball and you can be sure of one thing … he’s gonna bet on it. Seriously, we love our sports and our interests vary widely from baseball to dog racing to figure skating to horse […]
Let me say this about that. Every now and then, you hear of an Elvis Presley sighting. I think the last one had him working as a “colonic technician” in a holistic wellness clinic in Reno. Elvis gets around, so one never knows where he’s gonna pop-up next. Elvis should however, take notice of fellow dead guy, Michael Jackson, […]
Count Dracula Let me say this about that. I was clicking through the satellite movie guide last night trying to find a decent movie to watch …. not much on worth watching. CLICK – vampire movie, no CLICK - Star Trek XIII, no CLICK – vampire movie, no CLICK – foreign film, no CLICK – vampire movie, […]
Let me say this about that. On the whole, I believe many of America’s workers are under paid – based on the value they add, based on the profit they generate for their employer, based on the results they achieve. Conversely, I believe many Americans are grossly overpaid, based on the same criteria. If you […]
Let me say this about that. Well, dear LMSTAT readers, this marks the end of the week-long miniseries on The World’s Sleaziest Bars. The four that have been featured so far are truly world class…you have the word of a recognized sleazy bar aficionado. Unfortunately, unless I start another blog on this subject alone, I must […]
Let me say this about that. Part of what makes a great sleazy bar is the cross-cultural, mixed bag, mongrel ethnicity of it’s patrons. It is, at the same time, the best and worst examples of the human species. If it is true that the patrons of “Genevieve’s Bar” in Singapore were made in God’s own […]
Let me say this about that. It has been said that “Life is hard, and then you die.” It’s true that our time on this planet has it’s challenges and sometimes can be downright disheartening. But every now and again, we see something sooooo funny that we nearly wet our pants – and the world turns […]
