50 People Who Deserve a Vicious Beating

OK, just so you know, being divorced from a supermodel is not all it's cracked up to be.

John Stamos (born August 19, 1963) is an American actor and the son of Bill (1934-1998) and Loretta Stamos (1937-). His paternal grandfather Hermes Stamotopoulos (1908-1990) had borne the name Stamotopoulos, and changed it to Stamos upon emigrating from Greece to America.

Born in Cypress, California, John has two sisters, Janeen and Alaina. He has appeared in a number of movies, commercials and television sitcoms since 1982. He kicked off his acting career with a role in General Hospital, also having he starred in an unaired Coke advertisement.

Stamos is arguably best known for his role as the character of "Jesse (Hermes) Katsopolis " in Full House (1987-1995), an "Elvis-obsessed" rocker and motorcycle aficionado. Jesse moved in with his brother-in-law, Danny Tanner, to help him raise his kids (Donna Jo ("D.J."), Stephanie and Michelle) after the death of Danny's wife, Pamela. Jesse has his own rock band called "Jesse and the Rippers." His attitude could be described as cool and carefree. Jesse has great hair which he pampers a great deal. Later, he marries Rebecca Donaldson, Danny's beautiful co-host on "Wake Up San Francisco." The couple has twins, Nicky and Alex.

John married supermodel Rebecca Romijn in 1998. This was the first marriage for them both, and they had no children. The couple separated in 2004.

On the musical front, John has toured with The Beach Boys as a drummer on and off for 15 years.

In November 2000, Stamos was the winning bidder in the eBay auction of the Disneyland sign, with fourteen-foot-tall letters, which had stood at the entrance to the park for the past decade. He paid $30,700 for it.

What does a person do with a 14 ft tall Disneyland sign?

Could you please do me a favor and research whether Peter Jennings was currently a smoker at the time of his lung cancer diagnosis? I have heard contradicotry reports that he was, or that he quit smoking over twenty years ago.

Also, I haven't had time to keep up with the gossip rags since the In Touch expose on the Jessican Simpson nose/chin/lips/boob/lipo expose. Any news?

Thanks.

One person's drivel is another person's gwinky's abs. I'm just saying.

He suggested some repairs for something a lot of people don't think is broken.

He also supposedly killed in The Aristocrats. And I've heard he's a fun guy to party with.

NFH, what's the next reason we should all feel sorry for Stamos?

I heard that he gave up smoking in the mid-eighties but then started up again around 9/11.

Heard an interview that Penn Gillette did re: the movie, and commented in particular on Saget. Apparently Saget is the foulest, dirtiest stand-up comedian in the industry, and what's particularly funny is the contrast with his wholesome dad persona from his various crappy sitcoms -- that's the real punch to the joke.

Apparently his telling of the Aristocrats is one of the most out there in terms of obscenity, and he periodically stops to bury his head in his hands in disbelief that he's telling this, and muttering "my career is over."

I've got to go see this movie now.

First off, who died and made Spanky dictator? (I was trying to screw up that cliche a la str8 but I think I got it right, harumph)

Second,. without the drivel, there are maybe five posts here a day, unless I am in the Zone. Now, that might be the preference of some, but a lot of folks would be clicking refresh like some research monkey testing the addictive effects of speedballing. Eventually they would give up and this board would die out.

and Thirdly, to quote the Great Spanktini himself, Everyone has an opinion and the question is Whose Opinion Matters?

Discuss amongst yourself.

Oh, and I have been watching old Will Ferrell bits on SNL, and he is way funnier than Mike Myers (except for the Dieter bit which I love). Morning Latte was possibly one of the most underrated schitcks ever.

Interesting Tidbit from the Fillmore

So this weekend, I am at the Fillmore to catch my very favorite current live act, which tends to have a very devoted and very 420 friendly following. Friend I am with is a good friend of Someone Who is (Allegedly) Associated with the Fillmore. Who, by the way, is a very good person to know. ANyhoo, I say to this person, "you know, I feel like I have a better chance getting pinched for lighting up a cigarette than a joint in here". He demurs at first and then says "its just bc more people here smokoe pot than cigarettes". I say "That is clearly true, but doesn't really address my fear of smoking a cig in here". He says "well, security will pinch someone for smoking a cigarette but will not pinch someone for smoking pot. The ordinance doesnt say anything about smoking pot but does about cigarettes". So I say "does the ordiance say, no smoking cigarettes or tobacco, or just no smoking?" and he says "Just no smoking." SO I say "cant they get pot somking under that then? Though I guess its okay to shoot up pot or snort it".

So dont be paranoid, 420 people, you have clearance. Just leave the Marbies at home.

And I meant David, not Phil, in my original post. David was not only an original host of Good Morning America, but is also described by imdb as a "Genial, toothsome actor and host." He is also a Life Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.
Toothsome?!

Cannibals work at imdb?

I was surprised how many people, and especially young people in SF smoke cigs. Way more than here. Do you think its a reaction to all the anti-smoking laws their parents put together?

Not at all. I think that the smokers are probably mostly people who moved here from somewhere else to do the scene, man. Its a rite of passing for some, especially those someones who might have started smoking young.

But not a lot of people smoker here, at all.
