Obamanomics, The Annoying David Blaine and Another Clinton
The answer to our movie quiz this morning (for those of you who have to work for a living and can't sit around playing games all day) was MAN ON THE MOON, a movie based on the life of Andy Kaufman starring Jim Carrey and Danny DeVito. I never met Kaufman, but I do know people who knew him. Believe it or not, MAN ON THE MOON barely scratched the surface of his insanity. He was a funny guy, but completely out of his mind. By the way, Kaufman never liked being known as a comedian. He considered himself a "performance artiste. It was a very specialized type of humor and you either got it or you didn't.
To commemorate Barack Obama's election, the Home Shopping Network is selling the "Barack Obama Change Collection". It's a coin set consisting of a Washington dollar, a Kennedy half-dollar, an Illinois state quarter and a Hawaii quarter. So, obviously, the total value of the coins in the set is $2.00. The set sells for $24.95. So, let me get this straight. I send in $24.95 and in return I get $2.00. GEE, maybe this guy really will straighten out our economy!!! I'm not really good at math, but even I can figure out somethings wrong with that deal.
The always annoying magician, dare-devil, whatever he is, David Blaine (pictured above) is asking for suggestions for his next stunt. I have two. The first one I can't print here. The second one is I want to see him go UP Niagara Falls in a barrel. That would impress me.
Speaking of Niagara Falls, Warren Maynard of Brooklyn, New York was arrested near Niagara Falls this week when drug-sniffing dogs caught him trying to smuggle Ketamine, a very powerful, clear liquid hallucinogen, often used as a date rape drug. He had it in bottles in his car and the bottles were labeled "Holy Water". I guess he thought that would fool everybody, but unfortunately for him, drug-sniffing dogs can't read. What a dope!
If you were listening earlier this week, you might have heard Kristen Nash bring up the name George Clinton during her Walk Down Music Row report. Neither one of us were really sure who he was. A listener called in to tell us he is (or was) the front man for a music group known as Parliament-Funkadelic. How this Clinton guy wound up in Nash's report, I have no idea. Well, oddly enough, the VERY NEXT DAY, the same George Clinton was in the news. According to the New York Post, Clinton is storing his DNA in hopes of one day being cloned. So, we're still not sure who this guy is, but apparently one of these days, there might be two of them running around. Not only that, but now there are at least two Clintons who have had their DNA preserved in one way, shape or form.
Join me tomorrow. Believe it or not the NHL has started a promotional campaign to make hockey more popular and exciting, and they're also asking for suggestions. I've come up with 2 great ideas and I'll share them with you tomorrow.
Also, tomorrow, we'll play our movie quiz. It's an EASY one tomorrow. In fact, since you've been nice enough to come on to our web site and read this, I'll give you a hint. I have often said on the air that this is one of my favorite movies. I've seen it 100 times and I still laugh every time.
Cheerio
