My favorite Flash Mob so far!

This looks like great fun!

Bringin' a little tear to my eye...

I can see Lily doing this if GI Joe left for an extended amount of time. She'd be just as excited...

Our Thoughts...

Our hearts and thoughts are with our dear friend Tina Louise, her daughter and their entire family today. She lost her father earlier this morning. Tell the special people in your life how much you love them today.

Can't breathe...may need CPR...

Can I just say...Whoa! This man is about as close to perfection as one can be. Hot beyond hot and can sing, too. What more could one ask for???

Making Lemonade out of Lemons

Thanks Frosty, Heidi and Frank! Love your podcast. You always discuss the most interesting news stories:

A MAN who had half his body amputated after being run over by a truck has not only recovered but opened his own bargain supermarket - called the Half Man-Half Price Store.

Peng Shuilin stunned surgeons with his recovery after almost two years of painful operations at Bujie Hospital in Shenzhen, southern China.

Now the inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman and is used as a role model for other amputees.

Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said: "We've just given him a check up and he is fitter than most men his age. He is amazing and the only person in the world to survive having so much of his body amputated.

"He had good care but his secret is his cheerfulness - nothing ever gets him down."

This is politically incorrect, not safe for work, and HI-larious!!! Enjoy. (Stolen from Lady Bunny Blog).

Guess What Lily Lowe is Getting for Christmas??

2010 Superbowl party at the LaFayette house!!!

Lulu's Golden Retriever will be responsible for delivering the beer and condiments..

(And yes, over the weekend, I really did order one of these...)

Happy Veteran's Day!!

Whether you agree or disagree with the act of war, you have to appreciate the men and woman who voluntarily risk their lives to support the US.

Many thanks to Papa LaFayette, who served in the United States Coast Guard from 1955-1959, during the Korean War.

And to GI Joe, who is currently serving as a United States Marine Corps Reservist. GI Joe returned from Iraq just last year as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

We love both of you and appreciate your bravery!

I LOVE Alex Borstein!

I miss her and Mad TV!! This is so wrong, but so funny!

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

I'm feeling disappointed and a little sad today. It seems someone who was special to me is not the person I thought they were. When I first found out what they did, I wasn't sure if I should feel sorry and try to help or be angry. Well, after using the powers of the Inter-web, I was able to find additional details and now have the full picture. And angry it is...

I cannot condone what he did. As an adult, he made his own choices, and now he has to deal with consequences.

I wash my hands of you but of course as a Mom, I can only hope you will learn from your mistake and end up being a much better person!

Well, I'm done. No more thinking about it, worrying about it or talking about it!

It's all about the Benjamin's...

I wanted an IPhone. I REALLY wanted an IPhone. I waited for all the lines on my account with T-Mobile to reach their end date, and started shopping for my IPhone. I was ready to purchase my new IPhone and begin pricing out the actual service plans. That's when my dreams of an IPhone ended. AT&T would neither beat nor meet the price of my current plan with T-Mobile, so no IPhone.

Let me introduce to you my new Motorola CLiQ:



I love it! It's definitely going to take sometime getting used to, but I know this is going to be a great phone.

And I must give shout-outs to Melissa and Jeremy at the Clearwater Mall T-Mobile store! They provided excellent customer service and are an asset to their organization.

Now back to figuring out this newfangled phone...

What's next, Cougar Barbie??

BARBIE has a new Ken - and he comes complete with a touch of Florida flair and a name you aren't likely to forget.

Sugar Daddy Ken is the latest incarnation of Barbie's long-time boyfriend.

Entertainmentearth.com, which sells the toy, describes this latest version of Ken as wearing a "dashing jacquard-patterned jacket with a light pink polo shirt and crisp white pants".

He sports a mop of silver hair and a fake tan to rival any young Hollywood "It girl" along with another of their favourite accessories - a little white dog.

His ensemble also includes floral swimming trunks, flip-flops, sunglasses and a bottle of water - everything you need to laze by the pool or sun yourself on the beach.

"This Ken Doll is ready for the Palm Beach social season, sunning by the pool, and a stroll with his furry little companion," proclaims the website.

Mattel said it is targeting the action figure at grown-ups.

"The 'Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken' is actually part of the adult Barbie Collector Line," a spokeswoman told the New York Post. "It is targeted toward adults."

And before anyone thinks the "Sugar Daddy" title refers to an older man with a younger lover, Mattel says that there's a much more innocent explanation.

"The little dog's name is actually Sugar," said the Mattel spokeswoman. "That's where the name comes from. He's Sugar's daddy, as a reference to the dog."

The "Sugar Daddy" Ken was created thanks to popular demand from Mattel's Barbie adult enthusiasts, who wanted a Ken doll that could hold his own as part of the already popular Barbie Fashion Model Collection, the spokeswoman said.

Mattel is offering their new Ken doll for $US69.99 from April 2010.

Growing up, I never missed a "Creature Feature"...

Every Halloween, we pause a moment to remember the late, great Dr. Paul Bearer, who was the longest-running horror movie TV host in Florida.

From 1971 until his death after heart surgery in 1995, Dick Bennick played the ghoulish comedic undertaker on WTOG, Channel 44.

His Saturday "Creature Feature" is part of Tampa television history, and several generations remember his catchphrase: "I'll be lurking for you."

Bennick, a radio sales executive, was a good friend who joked that because he had a glass eye he really could "keep an eye out for you."

Go ahead, you can groan in his honor. Puns, good and bad, were his forte. Several times, I was a guest on his show to judge his invisible woman bikini contest ("the best looking woman you never saw").

Dr. Paul introduced "horrible" old horror movies from his "castle" at the WTOG studios, where he had a treasure chest of gag props, including a copy of "The Tampa Tri-Bone."

Halloween was Bennick's favorite time of year. He would fire up his old hearse and make numerous public appearances.

His departure left a void that hasn't been filled and probably won't be. Local horror movie hosts belong to a bygone era in television.

However, thanks to the Internet, Dr. Paul's memory is being kept alive.

You can find Fans of Dr. Paul Bearer on Facebook, where you can chat with Erma Broombeck, the "witch" who sometimes appeared with him.

The crazedfanboy.com site also has a tribute to Dr. Paul as well as a good interview with Bennick.

Another interesting site, www.horrorhostgraveyard.com, also has a good tribute to Dr. Paul.

And several clips of Dr. Paul can be found on YouTube, including one in which he does "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," and another that is a compilation of his gag products such as "Blisterine," "Mold Duck Wine" "Boo Berry Pie with Ghoul Whip" and takeout from "Red Blobster."

Happy Halloween...

This video always puts me in the spirit of Halloween. Now, how to get out of giving candy to the little beggars who come to the door???

NSFW. Drum, I can assure you, this will NOT be on my Christmas list...

And that's just the way we like 'em...

He may be a "Christian songwriter", but he's a sick SOB!!!

TAMPA — A 17-year-old boy is being held in Hillsborough County Jail without bail, charged with sexual battery on someone physically incapacitated.

The suspect, Steven Chase Garrett, is a student with the Blake Accelerated Curriculum Program, in which students take classes online from home and only go to school to take exams.

The State Attorney's Office will not release any details about the alleged rape until Garrett's arraignment, said Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi. The charge is a first degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

Garrett, of 4515 Shadberry Dr., was booked into jail Monday at 11:44 a.m. On his profile on MySpace.com, he describes himself as a Christian songwriter.

Perhaps actually BEING in school, rather than taking on-line classes would be beneficial. This PAB needs some boundaries and he needs them N O W!!!

Happy Birthday B'Gosh

Happy Birthday to our dear friend from the land of cheese!!! Our B'Gosh is 29 today! And that is a real 29. not a Mountain Woman 29.

This is gonna be...interesting???

Actors Matt Damon and Michael Douglas have signed up to star in a film based on the life of piano virtuoso Liberace.

Douglas, 64, will play the flamboyant musician while 38-year-old Damon has landed the part of his young lover in the forthcoming Steven Soderbergh film.

When asked how he felt about kissing his co-star, Damon said: "I'm sure Michael can teach me a few things."

He admitted it might be a "bit awkward" but said the roles, the story and the script "are great".

Referring to the famous scene in Douglas's film Basic Instinct, Damon said: "I'm not doing that thing with my legs."

The as-yet-untitled project, which has been in the pipeline for seven years, is due to start filming next summer.

Don't mess with the Hillsborough County Sheriffs!!

Meet Ann Marie Kleiner. Her charge? Battery on a law enforcement officer. Looks like she lost the battle...

Reminiscing about Patrick Swayze...

Of course, we all loved Dirty Dancing and Ghost. Roadhouse has to be in my Top-10 Guilty Pleasure movies, but does anyone remember SkateTown USA??



I absolutely LOVED this movie! I was a sophmore/junior when this movie came out in 1979. I spent every Friday and Saturday night at the local skating rink, Super Skate.

Scott Baio was my first celebrity crush. That "Chachi" really did it for me...until Jimmy McNichol came along...

10 Years of Drugs and Prostitution?? She's barely old enough...

So much for rehab...


I hope her Mother is proud. What a waste...

Not sure what made me think of this song, but something did...

Can't believe the song's from 1982. That's the year I graduated high school and when I was spending most of my free time at the local skating rink, Super Skate.

Sometimes it seems so long ago, and sometimes it feels like yesterday...

Good Times!

"Know how to Two-Step?" "Yep."..........."Wanna prove it?"

My favorite part of the entire movie. He sure was a fine lookin' cowboy!

And my favorite line in the entire movie, "Don't fight him, Bud. You're drunker than Cooter Brown."

Who exactly is Cooter Brown and how drunk is he? The world may never know...

Laughing 'til I cry...twice in less than a week!!!

Tears in my eyes at work...and thinking of SNL and Eddie Murphy...

"O-Tay, Panky!!"

DVR Alert!!

Now Tyra will really tower over her minions...

I haven't laughed until I cried in a long time...

...well, this did the trick!! The tears started around :35.



Enjoy!

Kathy Griffin is the SHIT!

This picture is why I have pledged my undying love and devotion to Kathy Griffin!

If laughing at the expense of others means you've got a one way ticket to Hell...

...I'll see a lot of people I know when I get there!!

I love listening to the Keith and the Girl podcast. If you're not listening to them, please start today. They are great!

Here's a sample from KATG TV. Their videos are just as funny as their podcasts.

Way to go, Ben & Jerry. Just another reason to love your products!!

Men Are Not Always Romantic...

Thanks Gary...or are you Ace???

Attention Tweens, Teens and Female Young Adults...

After spending yesterday afternoon in three different local area malls and the early evening at Target, I have identified one of the top, if the THE top, fashion faux pas of the younger female population:

Ladies, it does not matter how old or how thin you are, if the lining of your pockets is longer than your actual shorts, YOUR SHORTS ARE TOO SHORT!!!! It's not cute nor fashionable and therefore YOU, are not cute nor fashionable.

You should either cut off the lining (you know you're not going to use your pockets anyway) or wear a more appropriate length pair of shorts.

Not cute. Not cute at all.

A Classic!

In the words of Truvy Jones, this ones goin' down in the hairdo hall of fame! Another klassy one from the Tampa Bay area...

Yes, Lola. I know I said I wasn't reading tampabay.com anymore since they started advertising for the scienos, but I smiled at the son of a bitch before I could help myself!

I love my iPhone!

This is pretty good!!!

Pinellas County Trash Part II

A St. Petersburg nursing home resident was arrested Wednesday afternoon after he yanked a woman out of her wheelchair because she turned on the television while he was sleeping, according to authorities.

John Wesley Brenner, 52, was charged with abusing or neglecting an aged or disabled person. He was being held at the Pinellas County Jail this morning on $10,000 bail.

Brenner was asleep when a 39-year-old disabled woman he lives with at Alpine Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 3456 21st St. S., turned on the television about 2 p.m., arrest affidavits say. He slapped the woman's hands, grabbed her by her shirt and pulled her out of her wheelchair, the affidavits say.

After police arrived, Brenner claimed the woman stood up out of her wheelchair and slapped him in the face, but a patrol officer did not believe that rendition as the woman was incapable of getting out of the wheelchair on her own, the affidavits say.

PInellas County Trash

And by Pinellas County Trash, I don't mean the garbage man. We have a lot of scum bags and crazies over here in PIE-nellas county. This lady is not only a real looker, she is nuts - and armed with a stun-gun! Read on...

LARGO — A Largo woman, armed with a stun gun, celebrated her 59th birthday in an unusual way Sunday.

Rose Tyrka pulled the weapon on an employee at a Shell gas station at 2400 East Bay Drive about 5 p.m., according to arrest reports.

After taking $130 from the cash register, Tyrka used the stun gun on the employee, striking him in the abdomen, the reports said.

The robbery was caught on video surveillance.

Four hours later, Tyrka entered a Subway sandwich shop at 11180 66th St. N in Pinellas Park, ordered a sub, then pulled the stun gun on a woman working behind the counter and demanded cash, according to the reports. The woman was able to get away before Tyrka could steal any cash, the reports said.

Tyrka was arrested Tuesday after detectives got a search warrant for her vehicle and found evidence linking her to the crimes, the reports said.

Police say Tyrka admitted to the crimes and said she is addicted to pain medication and that she needed the money to buy fentanyl patches.

She was charged with felony counts of robbery with a weapon and attempted robbery with a weapon. She is being held in the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bail.

An employee at the Shell station said Wednesday that the employee, who was not named in the report, quit after the incident.

Taking a cue from Drum...

I'm going to start a weekly post titled, "When It's Appropriate to Yell, OMG!!".

Here's the picture of the week and we'll title it "Baby Got Baaaaaaaaaaaack":

Otis

Otis passed away yesterday. He was the first pug in my life. I will always remember the day I met him in San Antonio, Florida. He hopped in the jeep, climbed in my lap and slept right there for the entire hour ride back home. It was love at first sight for both of us. He was crazy, happy, fun, infuriating, and he is the reason that Al and Erick have Rocco, and the reason Troy and I have Hershey and Bug. I miss him more than I thought I would. I am glad he won't have to suffer. Hug your dogs, and everyone else you love.

Nasty! is right!

So this is going to be my new weekly feature. The Weekly Really REALLY Bad Home-made Music Video. This one is hilarious, and is apparently from Tampa in the 80s. Thanks Lady Bunny (bawk bawk).

The Rays won. Big and Rich were great!

And the view was the best part!!!!

He's got the moves!

I wish I could dance like this. Well, actually I don't, but this is entertaining. Is that wrong?

THIS is why I bought tickets on the 3rd base line...

Evan Longoria...the 3rd base player for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Nice. Very nice. Very, VERY nice...

Happy Birthday, Lulu!!!
