Evans Above
I think the technical term for this is EGADS! Please be patient as we curse and yell at a database mixup that deep sixed dozens of our database entries. We need to clean up or recreate them one by one. Should be fun...

Winestoned Plowboy
Seeing the arrest video of Glen Campbell reminded me of the comedy song “Winestoned Plowboy” by Nestor Pistor. My favorite verse in the heavily-accented song:
I went to a massage parlour
To send a massage to my brother
And boy was I surprised when she said, “Get up on the table”

Saving Private Lynch…from spin
Jessica Lynch may not have fired a round in Iraq, but she’s taking a few shots at the Pentagon PR machine.

Budget Smudget
Ming the Mechanic had (or should I say has]) a customer service nightmare with Budget Rent-A-Car when he rented from them in Europe. A must-read for anyone heading over there.

Joe Sent Me
It sounds like something that you say through the peephole at a Prohibition era speakeasy, but JoeSentMe is the name of a fantastic travel site. Whether you’re looking for holidays deals or just want to make the most of your business travel dollar, this site tells it like it is. This may sound like a paid endorsement, but it isn’t. I just like the site that much.
Paris Hilton Sex Video
Just noticed that our poll on the Paris Hilton sex video is on the first page of results on Google.com. We’d like to welcome everyone who’s been searching on that term — purely for pop culture research we understand.

It’s a wrap
Shot my segment for VH1’s look at the People’s Choice Awards. Lots of fun. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’ll keep you updated for the air date.

Greetings from Parsippany
I’m here in Parsippany, New Jersey.
Why? Why not!
Actually, I’m here on my way to NYC to shoot a segment for VH1’s VH1 Goes Inside the People’s Choice Awards. I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. de Mille.

Letterman zings Leno
David Letterman ran a video segment called something like Bored Arnold Schwarzenegger Supporter of the Night. The clip showed Tonight Show host Jay Leno applauding Arnie’s victory speech and sneaking a glance at his watch as he claps.
Very funny.

I know, I know, it’s around the corner
It’s October and you can tell the stores are just aching to start hawking their Xmas wares.
You know that they’re just waiting for Halloween to end.

TIFF Journal
Burning TIFF question: Why oh why is the press office at the not-close-to-anything Delta Chelsea? In previous fests, the press offices were close to the industry centre and close to the press screenings at the Varsity. Now the press office is about a mile away. David Poland and Jeffrey Wells are pondering the same question.
