The Audacity of Caruso

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

For those of you who remember, I’ve expressed my disdain for the acting of David Caruso on CSI:Miami.

It is so over-the-top and ridiculous that it actually becomes enjoyable after your first vomit.

It’s strange…he was quite good as Det. John Kelly on NYPD Blue, but as Lt. Horatio Crane he basically plays the same character to an absurd extreme. The only saving grace of this show is Emily Proctor, who is not only gorgeous, but appears to have an orgasm every time she fires a gun. (At least in my perverted mind.) Anyway, the below clip perfectly encapsulates why my title fits Caruso.

How in the holy hell does an actor do this seriously and get work? Your job as a commenter is to list the reasons why this clip is so wrong.

A Chick Recaps the Superbowl …Badly

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Well, Dorkafork, you were right.

Someone did, indeed, win the bowl. For those of you in Alabama on the moon, the Colts won. The Bears started off alright, but they really didn’t stand a chance.

I was rooting for both teams, I suppose, but being from The Mile Hi city, and seeing how proud the people here are of John Elway and the fact that he managed to squeeze in that Superbowl win before he retired, I have to say that I am happy for Peyton and I think he deserves this.

I remember when Freddy Couples won some big golf tournament many, many years ago. He was being interviewed afterward with his wife by his side. The journalist talking to him asked what he would remember most about this big day. He shot his wife a sideways glance, and with as much cockiness as I guess a man could muster, said only, with a wink into the camera, “Tonight.”

I bet Peyton’s thinking the same thing right about now.

Ann Althouse Likes Me

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

I rarely comment on other blogs at all, but last night I couldn’t resist at one of my favorites, Ann Althouse.

Lo and behold, she got a kick out of it and updated her post to include my comment.

Check it out if you want here.

My only comment there and she likes it!

I think I’ll get drunk tonight.

Super Bowl Weekend!

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

So, who is it going to be? The Bulls or the Pacers? The best score prediction will receive a burned CD of Irish folk songs from Shannon in honor of the glorious Andy. (In her words, of course.)

Just for the Record

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

This morning, in DENVER, it was -10 with a wind chill of -25.

Just for the record.

Brrrrrr! 50 Degrees and Uncomfortably Numb!!

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Hello again, World Wide Rant readers. Andy has given me another opportunity to guest-blog while he is on vacation. (For those of you who either don’t remember me or are new here, feel free to use the search feature to the left to peruse my previous musings. Unfortunately, that means you will probably also come across the moronic opinions and games of my co-guest blogger as well. Sorry about that. Hi, Shannon!)

I’m not sure what I’ll write about, but it will probably not be about Shannon’s boobies. My new policy is only to discuss those boobies that I’ve seen so you’ll need to encourage her to email me a picture.

Meanwhile, it’s cold here in Dallas and that brings me to the title of this post. Yes, 50 degrees is not normally considered cold by most people, but it is when it’s the godforsaken temperature of your house! Ya see, during the coldest stretch of the year, my furnace decided to betray me last night and I woke up freezing my ass off. I tried to fix the furnace myself to no avail and now the earliest I can get service is tomorrow afternoon. It’s difficult to type with numb fingers and wearing long-johns, sweatpants, two pairs of socks, turtleneck, and a sweatshirt ain’t exactly comfortable. I think the local Starbucks is calling my name for the rest of this afternoon.

Oh, and FYI, the, um, morning “ritual” was very, uh, unpleasant. A cold ass and a cold toilet seat is not a good experience. TMI? See ya later!

Mr. Lady, Come on Down!

You’re the next contestant on The World Wide Rant!

What, no cheering, no screaming, no fainting? That’s ok. You’ll warm up to me, I promise. Just wait until Blake starts in on the boobie talk. You’ll like me a whole lot then.

Anyway….thanks for having me back, Andy. It’s good to be here again. Maybe I’ll actually write something this time; who knows?

Stay tuned for more pricing games and the fabulous showcases, which are coming up on the second half of The World Wide Rant!
