Dumb Ones and Dragons

This years edition of Dancing with the Stars has really taken a toll on celebrity performers. Jewell dropped out due to a fractured tibiae, Jack-ass star Steve-O hurt his back and Steve Wozniak (founder of Apple computers) fractured his foot. I'm mostly disappointed about the Woz because I was waiting for his rendition of a - "Laptop dance." :0) At this rate of injury, Elizabeth Taylor can pretty much qualify as a contestant.***
Former Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, has stated that she and her baby-daddy, Levi Johnston, "could reunite but would remain apart as friends, for now." In an interview that aired on ABC's Good Morning America, Bristol also said that it could be a sunny day unless it gets cloudy, that she would be hungry until she ate something and that new baby Tripp, would be stinky until she changed his diaper. I never fail to be moved by Palin family wisdom. *** On April 5th, Sutter Medical Center of Sacramento will display a 20 foot long and 8 feet high inflatable plastic colon. The U-shaped pink and red display will allow people to walk through and experience examples of polyps and cancerous lesions up close. Who said there is nothing to do in the Capital city? The hospital expects some negative reactions but it will be nothing compared to the May display of two giant helium inflated testicles which will celebrate 'Turn-Your-Head and Cough week. ***
From the competitors of the Franklin Mint, I recently received brochure from the Hamilton Collection for --- Poker Playing Dragons - the collectible figure set. I'm not making this up. Yes indeedy, for years you always wondered what to buy your friends who were fantasy gaming, Renaissance Faire going, dogs playing poker art collectors and here it is. ***
I was more than surprised by a recent time magazine article by NBA star Kobe Bryant, titled 'How To Improve Your Game.' Apparently Time magazine's editor didn't see the irony that the player who was once accused of rape, turned in a piece which is divided into three sections titled "#1 - Shooting, #2 - Defense and #3 - Foul Shot. To make things worse, the subheadings below #1 - Shooting, are Grip-it, But don't palm it, and Then Rip it. I'm going to e-mail, Sigmund Freud and get his reaction. ***
