talk talk...and then some

This first one will be mostly to reference the ramblings of my little buddy Josh.

I'll start where he started and then move on...

1. I'm not sure why this Uncle Kracker development comes as a surprise to the French Cheese but, as I'm sure several other people are aware (maybe not too many but still...), Mr. Kracker has been a VH-1 staple for a quite a while now (since that sappy love song that wasn't a love song but instead was all about adultery). Perhaps you recall the ubiquitous "Drift Away" cover. Now I've been a fan of the Dobie Gray classic for ages (I bought a compilation disc just because that song was on it) and the only thing that saved the former Kid Rock DJ's version is that he recruited Mr. Gray to tag along on the remake. Still it wasn't the original. Like I said, I'm not surprised by this "development."

2. WNBA? Okay, I admit I can get behind anything that's entirely populated by women but it'd be nice if they showed a few of them off a little. Can anyone say Playboy spread? The women of Enron did well enough and they're gonna have Olympians in the next issue so why not some of those WNBA ladies? On a separate tangent, did anyone see Charisma Carpenter a couple of months ago? You may remember her from "Buffy" and then "Angel" but that doesn't make it any less WOW! Moving on...

3. If you don't like TBDSS, and I don't really, don't watch it. Although I think John Salley's pretty funny (even on the apparently short-lived NBC sitcom "Come to Papa" - he was the mailman) but honestly sports shows don't do it for me. If I were going to watch one (and this doesn't happen too often) I'd pick "Cold Pizza" because somehow this show has become THE showcase for upcoming emo artists. Dashboard Confessional played one morning a while back and I ran out and bought the cd. Back to the point though, the words "bring back Tom Arnold" should never be uttered. How many more "jokes" about how painful it was to be married to Roseanne Barr do I have to hear? Oh yeah, and how do you not know who Michael Rappaport is? I thought you modeled yourself after his "Eraserhead" character. Seriously, his little soliloquoy on supermodels in "Beautiful Girls" is timeless. Nearly poetry. And he made "Boston Public" good again (before it finally got axed last season). There's more I could say since I really like the guy as an actor but I'll leave it off there.

4. I saw a guy with a bumper sticker today that said "I support two teams. The Red Sox and whichever team beats the Yankees." I'm gonna let Pazzy and Meo field this one.

keep jabberin' Nason, I'm still here.

P.S. This is fun. I've got so much more to "give."
