"Turn Out the Lights; The Party's Over?"

The World Series has been cancelled tonight, and I was all abuzz with anticipation. Were the Rangers gonna win its first title, or was there still magic in Tony LaRussa's team?

Chaz Bono was unceremoniously booted off "DWTS's." And one of the judges referred to Chaz as a big penguin or something like that. Chaz was miffed about the comment and has the web-or parts of it, anyway-all abuzz ( there's that word again ).

Golden Pond has my email address as being vietnamcatfish@aol.com. I don't know how to change it and have forgotten the password. So any email correspondence just won't happen.

Mark Richt, the football coach of the Dawgs is on the hot seat. It's being said that he must win the Florida game this weekend or it's turn out the lights; the party's over. And I've always been puzzled about his last name. Is the "t" silent or do you pronounce it? Rick or Richt? Anyway, GO DAWGS in Jacksonville in what they call the largest outdoor cocktail party.

Your film critic went to see "The Thing" this past weekend. It's the second remake. Sorry-gotta go with the original. John Carpenter's first remake is better too. Wasn't scared by the cgi effects. Give me Ray Harryhausen any day of the week.

Seems Netflix has lost 800,000 customers since it raised prices and separated the streaming videos from the dvd's. And, of course, the stock price is down....way down. The public is fickle and wants something for nothing. Ah, reminds me of a time long long gone. I was always nervous when it came to raising prices at the old cafeteria chain. Too many regulars eager to pounce on yours truly.

"What do you mean the "milly" went up ten cents? Oh, the humanity!" And the "super-mealy" went up a quarter? I remember when it costs a dollar two ninety nine!"

So the World Series is cancelled for tonight. What's a sports fan to do? Well. there's a Big 10 showdown between two powerhouses: Pitt and Conn. So, yes, I'm ready for some football! Go DAWGS! Can't wait-all abuzz here.
