Ramblings...

Welcome back everybody. Let's see who fed it and who ate it this week...

It's always interesting when you read about one of your high school classmates in the newspaper. Such was the case last week, when Joe Linderman was arrested for DWI. Not only did he crash into another car while intoxicated, but he got out, flipped his car back over and fled the scene...only to lead the police on a brief chase, which ended in him crashing his car again. Luckily nobody was killed. So let's see...DWI, hit and run, and resisting arrest...not sure if he's gonna make it to the reunion. But then again, I don't think he ever graduated either...

Two people I didn't miss while I was home: The Russian, and his Tampon Queen whore.

The FBI raided a mosque in Albany, NY last night after two members were arrested as part of a sting operation. These two fuckers were trying to buy a shoulder-fired missile from someone who turned out to be an undercover agent. It was part of their plot to kill a Pakistani diplomat in New York City. I guess firing a rocket really takes out the guesswork...don't need to be 100% accurate with one of those. The Times Union had some photos on their website of one of the Mosque members talking with the press. If your Mosque is believed to be part of a terror cell, do you think it's really that wise to wear a t-shirt that says, "Fear Allah"?

Tuesday night, Plisko locked his keys inside his van, and we waited with him for an hour and a half until a locksmith came to open it. As if that didn't suck enough, the shady locksmith told Joe that only his father was covered by Triple-A, and as a result it would cost him $45 cash to open up the van. Triple-A immediately went to the top of Joe's Shit List, ahead of the "kid from HS who will remain nameless" that spit in his face in 10th grade. Yes, he still holds a grudge...

I can't wait for Old School SportsCenter with the return of Craig Kilborn-Dan Patrick duo for one night only. The best SportsCenter duo nowadays is Steve Berthiaume and Neil Everett. They're not Kilborn and Patrick, or even Olbermann and Patrick for that matter, but hey, at least it's not Stu Scott. Someone needs to tell Stumanji to shut the fuck up and speak English instead of that "Playa Jive" bullshit that he slings around. If Tie Domi gets a penalty for cross-checking, I don't see that as "hatin' on" the opposition. Leave your Ebonics at home, asshole...

Seed is officially my "c'mon, let's get just one more drink" friend. Everybody has one...

Has anyone seen Dave Foley on Celebrity Poker Showdown? He looks like shit and his jokes are awful. I can't figure out who sucks more...him, or the old host Kevin Pollack? On a side note, there's a movement to make Poker an event at the Olympic Games. Hamblin was going to spearhead the movement, but couldn't drag himself away from ultimatebet.com to actually do the legwork...

As part of his internship with the Howard Stern Show, Jay had to run out to a liquor store and buy Jack Daniels for Artie Lange at 8:30 AM on Wednesday. As part of her PR firm internship, Nicky has to spend a weekend in San Diego lobbying against a referendum on the November ballot. How did I miss out on this stuff?

The other night at T's, some girl was singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" just like in Old School. It was one of the coolest things I've seen/heard...

Opie and Anthony will be featured on XM Satellite Radio this fall. Their station will play their show on repeat for 24 hours, and it will cost listeners an extra $2 per month. Imagine if Stern goes XM after his contract is up (or the FCC gets so out of control that they force him off the air). Play his show from that morning a few times, and then fill the rest of the time with "Best Of..." shows. Pure genius.

When I was in the 2nd grade, the Weekly Reader said that there would be flying cars in the year 2000. So far we've come up with pre-cooked bacon, cellphones and the internet. I think they were full of shit...

This week's Random Shout Out goes to my good friend, Mr. Scott Robinson, who heads home for good this Saturday. An invaluable piece to my TV Newsroom and Enterprise Reporting classes, Scott was always a lot of fun to work with. Ever a consummate drinking buddy, he'd risk life and limb to barge a couple of bushes and shrubs on a walk home. Good luck, Scotty...gonna miss you, Kid...

The Wonder Years really needs to be released on DVD. Less than two weeks until the release of Goodfellas: Special Edition. My Marx Brothers DVD Collection will arrive on Monday...as Rads would say, that's "more gooder"...

But then again, what do I know?
