OTHER CRAP:

Who were the best rookies in MLB 2006? Here's the whole list sorted by AB. (The Marlins had 6 of the top 17, 4 of the top 8. And here are the pitchers.
  • The strongest competition is among AL pitchers. There were three who made tremendous contributions: Papelbon, Verlander and Liriano. Each has his merits, although Liriano would have had a stronger case if he had not been injured. (12-3, 2.16 is still very impressive.) Given the Liriano injury, Papelbon seems to be the choice.
  • I'd say Anibal Sanchez was the best NL pitcher, but ya gotta wonder if 114 innings will be enough to get him noticed. The best answer for NL rookie pitcher of the year is "The Marlins Pitching Staff."
  • The best NL rookie non-pitcher seems to me to be Hanley Ramirez. Plays SS. Has speed. Has power. Pretty good batting eye for a rookie. Scored 119 runs
  • No position player really stands out in the AL
  • Therefore ... my best guesses for ROTY: Papelbon and Henley Ramirez.

Damn! I guess Da Bears are for real

  • They have allowed only 29 points in four games, best in the NFL, and they've scored 119, second best in the NFL. Look at it another way. The Colts are 4-0 because they arguably have the league's strongest offense. The Ravens are 4-0 because they have arguably the league's best defense. The Bears have been as strong on offense as the undefeated-because-of-offense Colts, and as strong on defense as the undefeated-because-of-defense Ravens. That's impressive.

Answering a reader question: "Why didn't Joe DiMaggio get into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility? He retired in 1951, but wasn't elected until 1955, even though there was no five-year waiting period in 1952."

Speaking of Fahrenheit 451 and irony ... Protest group demands that Wal-Mart stop selling the Bible because of its obscene content.

  • In fact, they make a very good case!

Here's one to use up your irony quota for the day: Texas yokels want to burn Fahrenheit 451. (OK, they obviously didn't understand the book but, hey, I'm impressed they could read it at all!)

"Britney Spears loves stripping off, and only feels really happy when she’s naked."

  • Ya know, there was a time when that would have been kind of a turn-on.

"Jessica Biel is a Man, Baby!"

  • I know she's a fitness buff, but I think maybe she's a bit too serious about it. Those are some mighty heavy muscles.

Waco song swept up in immigration fireworks

  • There's a new underground country hit, "So Long, Texas - Hello, Mexico!," about a cowboy who moves to Mexico to demand free government health care and that all documents be printed in English just for him.  There's a growing debate over whether it's funny or racist.
  • Why can't it be both? No reason why racists can't be funny. To assume racists have no sense of humor would be racist, wouldn't it? Just as one example, there were the wacky racists.
  • Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Here's the song.

George Michael has been arrested and cautioned after being found once again slumped over the wheel of his car in London

  • OK, "arrested" I can see, but "cautioned"? Is that kind of barbaric cruelty permitted under international law? Man, those bobbies are tough. We need to get them involved in anti-terrorism. "Stop, Osama bin Laden! I caution you in the name of the crown."
  • Michael immediately responted to the stern cautioning with a solemn oath to change his life completely. He will never again be found slumped over the wheel of his car in London. He's moving to Guildford.

Movie Reviews:

Yellow asterisk: funny (maybe). White asterisk: expanded format. Blue asterisk: not mine. No asterisk: it probably sucks.

 

Frivolous Lola (1998)

Originally called Monella, this is a Tinto Brass sex farce. Lola is ripe and sassy, and due to be married to the baker, Patrick Mower. Unfortunately for her, he doesn't believe in premarital sex, although he doesn't let that stop him from visiting a hooker (Francesca Nunzi). She becomes interested in her mother's boyfriend, a small-time pornographer, who may or may not be her father. Lola flirts with every man in town, and there is not a single one of them that doesn't appreciate it. The women , however, are not as amused. That is the set up, and the question to be answered is, "Will Lola get everything she wants?"

Frivolous Lola is a very enjoyable European Sex Farce. The Tinto Brass name guarantees lingering looks at nude female backsides, and this is the best transfer to date of a Tinto Brass film. The title role is played to perfection by Anna Ammiratti. The music is evocative of the time (1950s), and includes many hit songs I remember.

This is a C+, genre heaven.  The only meaningful negative is that the dubbing could have been much better.

IMDb readers say 5.0, which only shows that sex farces don't have much crossover appeal.

 

Anna Ammiretti shows everything, including some gyno shots,, and spends much of the film stark naked.

Francesca Nunzi shows everything as well.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dann reports on Hot Tamale:

Sure, you could watch it just because Diora Baird has really big breasts, but you don't have to. This 2006 action/crime/comedy is fun and fast moving, and well worth watching even if Diora was flat chested. Its well written, well acted, and just a really enjoyable flick.

After becoming fast friends with an exchange student who stays with his family in Wyoming, a young man joins his friend in Los Angeles to try and get a job in a Salsa band.

During the trip, he unknowingly winds up in possession of diamonds stolen from the mob. They want them back.

This high-energy film will keep you interested from start to finish, and Diora is not only well endowed, she's cute as a bug's ear. Highly recommended.

Pat's comments in yellow...

Friday, Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley resigned after it came out that last year, he exchanged sexually-explicit emails and instant messages with a 16-year-old boy who used to be a Congressional page.  Making it extra-ironic is the fact that Foley was a crusader on behalf of abused children and helped write and pass the same kiddie porn laws he might be charged under.  He also said, at the height of President Clinton's Lewinsky scandal, "It's vile.  It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction." 

*  "And with a woman!  An ADULT woman!  Yuck!"

*  At least we know our kiddie porn laws are written by experts!



 In a speech at the U.N. last week, Al Gore claimed that cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming"

* Then he got into his private jet and took off.  But it's okay because it's a
non-smoking jet
