Thursday miscellanea #78

  • Corey Haim is dead at 38.  I guess my favorite Haim film was/is Lucas.  RIP.
  • I guess V has resumed, or shortly will.  My interest didn’t survive the hiatus.  Fortunately, I’ve got Nathan switched to Wild Recon on Tuesday nights.  (V did wind up a tad violent to suit me for his viewing.)
  • “You see what you made me do?”  I think that must be one of the stupidest things a person can say.
  • Until Monday, I really thought Toyota would recover from its various recall woes fairly quickly.  However, the 94-mph runaway Prius with a CHP-assisted rescue was rather unhelpful.
  • For some people, there truly is no such thing as too much law, and apparently no threshold for absurdity.  How about a bill that proposes a $1,000 fine every time a restaurant uses salt in food preparation?
  • The Obama administration’s war on freedom and liberty has many fronts.  Did you know it’s about to seriously damage recreational fishing?
  • Nathan is going with me to a classic car auction this weekend (unless they’re made illegal by the federal government between now and then).  That was one of my favorite things to do with my dad when I was a boy.  (Dad’s going this weekend too.)  I’m looking forward to it.

  1. I wish I was there to tag along to the auction. Where is it? I know you all will have fun. Russ thinks it’s weird that I like car auctions. I guess it is from my childhood. 🙂

  2. You know, I got a “we want money call” from some organization dedicated to getting breast exams for under-priveleged women. I asked to be placed on their do not call list. What I wanted to do was tell her that I guess this wouldn’t be an issue anymore since health care for this same group of people was about to be shoved down my throat. Oh, and by the way, while we are saving them from breast cancer, please make sure they aren’t engaging in the use of illegal drugs or unsafe sex because I’d really hate for them to die of THAT first. Thank God somebody is about to save us all from salt, though.

  3. Unless they bump your arm unexpectedly and cause you to spill coffee all over your crisp white shirt. Then it’s justified. lol. That plus a few other choice words.

  4. Jenny: I sort of thought that might be the way the wimmens went. 🙂

    Jenny B: Here in town. Jay’s going too. Should be a good time. I don’t know if anyone’s shopping or not. You guys ever watch the Mecum auctions on Discovery HD? Those are lots of fun.

    Lea: You’re obviously heartless and don’t want to help the poor. Why, I bet you’re one of those conservatives.

    Lee: Good call!

  5. Dude, Corey Haim was looking really bad. Mrs. BD and I caught him on The Two Coreys reality show – how bad is it when Corey Feldman is the grounded and healthy one?

    V is going to die a pretty quick death. There’s no going home again.

  6. BamaDan, yeah, I saw a recent photo or two of him and had a really hard time picking the cute boyish face out of the hard-time-spent adult.

    I don’t think they’ve done a very good job appreciating what made the first V special. The current show could be about damned near anything. It’s competent but unremarkable generic action drama, with an extraterrestrial veneer over it.
