My phone has been ringing off the hook the last couple of days. Don't know why? I'm not one to actually answer to find out. I like the machine to record the click and dialtone of the hangup.

Did you see that guy with the flying wing fly across the English Channel yesterday? How cool was that? I just know that'll end up in a Jackie Chan or Mission Impossible movie real soon.

Will he or won't he? Schwarzenegger delays showing political hand until he appears on Jay Leno... That's weird that we live in a world like this...
Larry Flynt, Hustler Publisher is thinking of running for Gov. in Calipornia. Couldn't be any worse that it already is...

Things are bad in Cape Coral, Florida, utility workers mistakenly hooked up four homes to the city's treated wastewater instead of its purified drinking water. Mmmm gooood! Chocolate water!

French actress Marie Trintignant, part of one of the country's pre-eminent film families, died of a cerebral edema, succumbing to severe head injuries sustained nearly a week ago during a fight with her rock star lover at a Lithuanian hotel. She was 41. She was the daughter of veteran French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant, known to audiences around the world for his star turn in Claude Lelouch's "A Man and a Woman" opposite Anouk Aimee in the 1960s.

Girls, you don't always have to date Rock Stars...

"Gigli": Is not only hard to pronounce, but it looks like it sucks. I heard from two people that have NEVER seen a film or even seen Television before... They should atleast be awed but the technology of film, yet they said, "Ah, not good, no chemistry between Ben and J-Lo." Then they headed back to the jungle for the good life.

A&E is planning to scare up several new original horror movies adapted from classic literature. The cable channel will develop screenplays based on the spookier work of legendary writers like Charles Dickens with five indie filmmakers.

"A&E's Ghost Tales" will likely debut in 2005.

Nastassja Kinski, Dan Aykroyd and Carla Gugino were among the actors. No directors or actors are attached yet.

The modestly budgeted series will save money by filming them back-to-back in quick shoots without cheaping out on production value. The films won't all necessarily be period pieces either, with some expected to be retold with a distinctly modern spin.


This would mark A&E's first stab at the supernatural realm, drama and performing arts programming at A&E.

A&E has gotten aggressive about taking its slate beyond the typical mix of historical pieces, including an upcoming biopic about New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Also very scary!

Someone needs to bring back "Tales from the Darkside"... Oh, okay maybe not.

Saddam Daughters (who are kinda hot looking) says 'Betrayal' gave U.S. Victory. Can't trust anybody anymore.

Liz Taylor got slapped with Sex Suit... Can you imagine having that paw you?

Rap Mogul 'Suge' Knight got sent back to Prison... Damn! There goes all the good music then...

A black Baptist minister looking to diversify his church wants to pay white people to attend his sermons.

For the month of August, whites who go to Greenwood Acres Full Gospel Baptist Church in Shreveport, Louisiana, will get $5 an hour on Sundays and $10 an hour on Thursdays.

Caldwell said his 5,000-member church has been almost exclusively black since it was founded in 1958, which he thinks was not the way Jesus wanted it. Do they have Heath Insurance, or any benifits? Sign me up.


I caught a little of that Fox show about weird Medical stuff. It really grossed me out. I thought I'd share some of this...

INNER SKELETON----- A 63 year old widow was admitted to the hospital in Recife, Brazil, suffering abdominal pains. X-rays showed that she was carrying a 20 inch long skeleton of a fetus which she conceived a decade earlier. It had become lodged outside the womb and was never expelled from her body.�

FEMALE SOFA----- A 500lb. (35.5 stone!!!) woman from Illinois was examined in a hospital. During the examination, an asthma inhaler fell from Under her armpit, a dime was found under one of her breasts and a remote control was found lodged between the folds of her vulva.�

PRICKLY PAIR-----OUCH! In Michigan, a man came into the ER with lacerations to his penis. He complained that his wife had "...a rat in her privates..." and it bit him during sex (not the first conclusion I would have drawn I don't think). After an examination of his wife, it was revealed that she had a surgical needle left inside her after a recent hysterectomy.�

PING PONG ANYONE?----- A 20 year old man came into the ER with a stony mass in his rectum. He said that he and his boyfriend were fooling around with concrete mix, then his boyfriend had the idea of pouring the mix into his anus using a funnel (as you do)?!!. The concrete then hardened (no shit!), causing constipation and pain. Under general anesthesia, a perfect concrete cast of the man's rectum was removed along with a ping pong ball. (Boy we live sheltered lives - thank goodness)�

BLIND DRUNK----- A drunk staggered into a Pennsylvania ER complaining of severe pain while trying to remove his contact lenses. He said that they would come out halfway, but they always popped back in. A nurse tried to help using a suction pump, but without success. Finally, a doctor examined him and discovered the man did not have his contact lenses in at all. He had been trying to rip out the membrane of his cornea.�

OUCH AND DOUBLE OUCH!----- A couple hobbled into a Washington State emergency room covered in bloody restaurant towels. The man had his hands around his abdomen and the woman had hers around her head. They eventually explained to doctors that they had gone out that evening for a romantic dinner. Overcome with passion, the woman crept under the table to administer oral sex to the man (Classy or what??). While in the act, she had an epileptic fit, which caused her to clamp down on the man's penis and wrench it from side to side. In agony and desperation, the man grabbed a fork and stabbed her in the head until she let go.�
And you thought YOU were having a bad day!!!�
