Moonpie, not just for hip adults anymore....

On a recent Moonpie Mixer, Vance was entertainment for the young ones. Holding court on a trampoline, I told of the vast wisdom to be gained from becoming a follower of The Pie. The kids left and ate candy, and I kept thinking, "If I can only reach one more....".

Actually, the wife and I were camping at some friends house this weekend and the little girl is our granddaughter. The two boys were made of wax paper and filled with burritos. I have no idea where our hosts bought those things.

*note the Moonpie t-shirt.

Rick and Vance met up recently at the annual Moonpie Online Blog Board of Directors' meeting -- a week of fun in the sun at the Squattenpee Tribal Resort* & HardRock Casino Travelodge near Lincoln, Nebraska.

*the Squattenpee Tribal Resort is the place to go for plenty of celebrity cow-tipping and cornhusking fun!

First Day of Class

I'm teaching again this summer.UNM has a pretty high acceptance rate, so we get some of the tougher students. Here's a shot taken of me on the first day of classes. I asked the students if anyone had seen the movie "Stand and Deliver"? About half of them raised their hands. Then I picked up the chair and heaved it over their heads across to the back wall where it fell with a clatter. "Well in my class, it's Sit and Shut the f**k up!

I usually don't have any trouble with them after that... except for that one guy who caught the chair in his teeth and spit it back at me. He became the teacher's pet.

Happy 93rd, big guy!

Have I related my JFK Premonition story here yet? Remind me on that one.

Is Hollywood really ready for a plus size leading lady?

I just read an article about this new movie starring Queen Latifah, and they ask the question "Is Hollywood really ready for a plus size leading lady?" Excuse me? Are you kidding? Have you seen this woman? I think Latifah is one of the hottest numbers to come down the pike in a long long time! You can take all your scrawny-assed lookalike actresses. I'd pick her any day. She may even become my new celebrity girlfriend (look out Kate(s)!)

He's freakin' gone, man.

Dennis Hopper's gone. 74 years old. Prostate cancer. Wasn't nobody could say "man" like Hopper. Rest easy, Brother. (or as we like to say here "Happy Graduation! and Bon Voyage!")

Whatchoo talking 'bout, R.I.P.?

Gary Coleman died. I beat Vance to a dead celebrety post! Even though I misspelled celebrity.

Coleman was best known for his roles as Little Eddie on "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and as the irascible Eddie Haskell on "Leave it to Beaver."

His signature line, "Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?" was funny for the first 5/100ths of a second after he first uttered it.
