If I could attend the auction, I would buy it for myself, have my local Gem Collection size it and wear it on my right hand if it was less than $1000. It would be a real conversation starter. And by conversation I mean argument, and by argument I mean fight and by fight I mean race war.

Guilty as charged. My favs: Gold Club in Atlanta (it is closed now) Gentlemen's Club in Dallas (quite the classy club) Pure Platnum in Honolulu (very nice young ladies there) I like very nice clubs and talented dancers. It is the world turned upside down when you enter a good club. The women are in charge and the men are doing what they are told and paying for it too. It's a lot of fun, just watch your $$.

Office Space is a cool movie. It seems like the kid dropped acid or X and then went to work. You are brave loaning it to your M&P. Mike Judge's new movie is called 3001 Here's a summary: Private Joe Bowers, the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program, set 1,000 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive. The purpose of the program set up by the Pentagon, called the "Human Hibernation Project," is designed so that the military can save their best men for when they're needed most. According to the officers heading the project, too many times the talents and expensive training of the best pilots and soldiers go to waste during times of peace. So they enlist Bowers (Wilson), the most under-achieving average guy they've got, to be the test subject for the initial hibernation experiment. Also participating in the top-secret program is Rita (Rudolph), a prostitute who agreed to take part in exchange for dropping some criminal charges against her, among other things. Of course, the experiment, which was to last only a year, goes under due to the arrest of Officer Collins, who is busted for heading a prostitution ring. Seeing as though he was in charge of the experiment, one of the only ones who knew of its existence, and "due to a lot of top-secret red tape... and the massive scandals and base closure that followed, Joe and Rita were forgotten about.

You speld kure rong.

I like Hoegaarden. But it is a matter of taste.

Easy. Lohan thinks she's Paris and Nicole thinks they're both the Olson twins.

I like Hoegaarden or Blanc de Chambly. Both Wit beers.

Hoegaarden White. It's pronounced Who-garden. Try some today !

Yep. It's great. I also buy FedEx'd Crab Cakes from Timbuktu in Maryland. They are the best I've ever had. I have recently had to knock off all dairy to get my cholesterol down. So I'm cold turkey on cheese, ice cream, yada yada for the next two months. I hate it.

I don't know the secret. I live in Florida and I have it FedEx'd to me several times a year. They half-bake it and send it overnight. When I finish it off in the home oven at 550 degrees just the smell of it in the kitchen is a delight.

Who said I would get caught ? People get caught on Police TV shows like Cops. In real life it's a friggin free-for-all out there. The bottom line is I don't have any children. I am a happily married working DINK. So I'm not going to be a vigilante any time soon that I know of ...

Jim Tressel the HC for Ohio State wears a trademark bow tie and a sweater vest for each game. To me, it looks uncomfortable. But he must like it.

It is funny to me. In basketball the coaches dress like they are proper businessmen. In baseball they wear the team uniform and chew sunflower seeds and spit everywhere. If we reversed it for a week the baseball coaches would do OK in the suits. But imagine the basketball coaches in the baggy basketball uniform, standing courtside, chewing sunflower seeds and spitting the shells all over the place. They'd look like buffoons. But at least each player doesn't have their own personal slave (Oops, I mean Caddy) to carry all of their equipment and advise them on how to play the game WHILE the game is in progress like the PGA. Why isn't the Caddy allowed to pull the golf bag on a hand cart? Why, it will hurt the grass, that's why. What a strange and wonderful world we live in.

If I were a father of one of the victims I would hit her from a quarter mile with a scope and a silencer as she walkede out of the prison. I would have no fear of meeting my maker because when and if I did I would say ... Where were You when all this happened to those teenage girls? No help at all that's where. So get off of my case.

You SOB you made me LOL. Good one.

A B-Day party for your wife who is turning 40. This is what I would do. Live band or DJ playing her favorite kind of party tunes from her prime. Love Roller coaster or Back In Black or somewhere in between. Have some great tunes. Have a bartender. That’s a nice touch. Have fireworks at midnight. Just invite the effected neighbors and tell them ahead of time. Have things to do at the party like games or contests for the fun of it. Most importantly, buy her a sweet gift. I would buy jewelry. Some thing in diamonds that she would love and cherish. She needs something to have and hold along with her great memories of the party. If she hates jewelry (which I doubt) then play an activity she would love, like the Richard Petty Driving Experience, lessons with her favorite woman golfer or a trip to her Day Spa or some such thing. Make it special. Be cheerful throughout it all even if it kills you and you will be well thought of for years to come each time she tells her friends and family the story of how YOU made her 40th birthday the best one she ever had. Disclaimer: Unless she has cheated on you this past year. Then forget all of the above.

I loved the Stones when they were in their prime. When Sticky Fingers came out it was a great album. B word still makes my hair stand up. Exile on Main Street is a fantastic set of music. Let it bleed, Only Rock and Roll and Goat’s Head Soup are some of my other favorites. When they made the switch to Ronnie Wood and put out Some Girls they were also great. The guitar interchange between the two on those first few albums with Ron Wood is beautiful. Sure it took days to get the amps to sound just right. Sure it took hundreds of takes to get the songs on tape. But when they were put on tape it was magical. That was then. This is now. I love them. They made great music in the past. As a guitar player I can see what they are playing and what they can’t play anymore. For someone to say they don’t like them NOW doesn’t mean they like Liberace. Perhaps it means they liked them when they were at their best. I also support the idea that they never stop playing. Just keep on playing like Muddy Waters did until they can’t do it anymore. As long as the people come to the shows keep giving the people what they want. However, if you are looking to see living legends please go to the Stones shows in 2005. If you are looking for great musicianship from them in 2005, unfortunately that time has passed us by. Too bad they don’t even let their bas player get in the publicity shots. I loved the influence of Bobby Keys and Nicky Hopkins too. And may God bless Ian Stewart. The Stone not pretty enough to join them on stage. He was the backbone of the musical section and he is sorely missed. Know what I mean Vern?

Derek and Clive "Labels" Derek and Clive were Peter Cook and Dudley Moore way before Dudley was in the movies "10" or "Arthur". They were a funny duo. (Caution: not safe for the kiddies)

Hoegaarden ? Thanks, I'm going to hunt it down at my beer store and try it this weekend. Thanks !

Well ... if things were just labeled better I wouldn't have that problem !
