Okay, class, what is wrong with this logic: manhole: Sir Peter = Gene Nash B.S.: manhole is wrong about Sir Peter B.S.: manhole is right about Gene Nash
How to get nothing but praise in 3 easy steps. 1) Blacklist everyone who might remotely disagree with you. (Surf other sites and forums looking for haters, just to make sure you don't miss anybody.) * Also remember, ANONYMOUS USERS ARE EVIL and must not be allowed to speak. 2) Now that it is safe, post a self-serving article asking what people really think of you. 3) Smugly snuggle back into your little cocoon, basking in the praise and deluding yourself that you are actually wanted. Any...
Some of you may recall the article I posted a while back about a web movie claiming to prove the existence of ghosts. Well, when the following email arrived yesterday, I just had to check it out: Hi, Gene Nash, Frank Bauer here... you have to check this out. Make sure your sound is turned up a bit... it's kinda hard to hear! Strange but interesting. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something ...
Doctor's handwriting isn't the only thing that can be hard toread. These "what the?!" moments brought to you from the 'net atlarge. Extra comments are all mine. 1. Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over ayear. 2. On the 2nd day the knee was better and on the 3rd day itdisappeared completely. 3. The patient has been depressed ever since she began seeing me in1993. [Was thatbefore or after she got the bill?] 4....

In a recent discussion over possible new driver's license requirements, terpfan1980 wondered what people would use for a photo I.D. when most people's photo I.D.'s are their driver's licences. When I got my driver's license many years ago, I used my passport as a photo I.D. (Don't ask me what they use to verify you for the passport, I haven't renewed mine in ages.) But it may be far easier to come up with photo I.D. than you imagine. When I opened my P.O. Box last year, the p...
Renee Zellweger and I were on the same back-lot at the same time once. That's as close as I ever got. Still, you can't blame a guy for dreaming, can you? Well, my dreams are shattered, my heart is broken, and those who think I take to blondes like Sean Penn to a comedy club are saying, "Give me a break." Renee married Country singer Kenny Chesney yesterday. I guess it's fitting. Her "You had me at hello" line from the film Jerry Maguire inspired one of his biggest hits, a song by the s...
In which I continue to comment on movies I haven't seen. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory This one will go into the unnecessary remake hall of fame. From Johnny Depp's bizarre, cloying take on the character, to that insipid theme music that sounds like a bad cover-band version of the Itchy and Scratchy tune, this has all the makings of a train wreck. Johnny Depp is such a critic's darling right now, he'll no doubt be highly praised. How long till they sign him up as Rhett Butler...
[Okay, I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and forgot to post it.] Why should not having seen a movie stop me from babbling about it? Besides, you can tell a lot from a trailer. Caveat Lector's in place, let's proceed. Batman Begins Stupid title. Stupid casting. (Michael Caine as Alfred?!?!?!) Stupid Batmobile. It'll make at least $150 million. As much as I love Batman, this one is leaving me indifferent. The first scenes I saw got me excited, the last ones left...
Those who tune out all things celebrity may not know there is a scandal raging around American Idol and its perky judge Paula Abdul. Corey Clark, a second season Idol loser, claims he had a secret affair with Abdul, during which she helped him pick songs and offered other assistance in his unsuccessful singing competition bid. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. There are certainly plenty of credibility issues to go around. • Clark was thrown off the show when an undisclosed cri...

Dear Princes of Rome, Please weigh the following ten items when considering my nomination for Pope. Thank you. 10. I'm part Italian. You get to have an Italian and non-Italian Pope at the same time. 9. I'm multi-lingual, so I can keep up that whole "talk to them in their own language" thing. 8. I look good in weird hats. 7. I have relatives in Italy, so you wouldn't have to put me up or anything. (But I don't eat much, if you want to keep me.) 6. &nb...

I'm sitting here watching the Pope's funeral. The mass is over. The choir starts singing, people applaud and cheer. 12 guys walk up, lift the plain cypress coffin and carry it off. John Paul II has left the square. What an exit. Talk about the ultimate curtain call.
