Nothing says "fun" quite like the tug-of-war between the Dormant Commerce Clause and the 21st Amendment.

I wanna party with YOU!

The Will Ferrell hosted SNL did not live up to expectations.

This says more negatively about you than 100 "where can I get a writing sample" posts.

Speaking of dormant...



The Will Ferrell hosted SNL did not live up to expectations. Are you trying to tell me that Norm MacDonald wasn't available to play Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson?

I just finished reading the SNL oral history book (forget the exact title "Live From New York" or something) -- given the way that NBC treated Norm (the dude running the network had a blood lust for his head), I'm guessing he had zero interest in making an appearance.

Fascinating book. Who knew that Ben Stiller was a big enough prick to back out of hosting the second live show when they went back on the air after 9/11? Reese Witherspoon can do it, but you can't, Ben? Jerk.

If someone said I could fire one of those two or Larry Merchant, I wouldn't know what to do.

I've been baying for Bill Walton's blood for years, the fucking knob that he is. If you're ever concerned that your kid is listening to Dead bootlegs and might be experimenting with pot, make them sit down and watch Walton at work. Scared fucking straight.

And Larry "Don't I Remind You Of Howard Cosell, Just A Little Bit? Please?" Merchant, another useless prick, should finally get the postmatch left uppercut he's been begging for for years. That I would pay $50 to see.

You seem to be getting a bit complacent on the avatar front. Could you please get your wife started on the following project:

The various avatars should fade into one another on a continuous loop a la Michael "McCauley Doesn't Do It For Me" Jackson's Black or White video.

I'm not a big fan of the moving avatars, but that would be cool. For like 5 minutes at least. 1, 2, 3 ... Go!

Court Lets Wine Lovers to Buy Out-Of-State By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer
30 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Wine lovers may buy directly from out-of-state vineyards, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, striking down laws banning a practice that has flourished because of the Internet and growing popularity of winery tours.

This really sucks. Y'all are going to drive up the prices of California wine now.

Didn't know, but could easily have guessed if the question was asked in a Jeopardy! format.

I think you mean "had been," not "was."

Yes, I'm pissy that lunch has been delayed indefinitely because I didn't get out while the getting was good because I was on the phone with a braying east coast lawyer* -- why do you ask?

*She's great, her advice is great, but ugh! The accent!

I saw the John Belushi Biography the other day. Enjoyed the little swipe at Chevy Chase that made the cut - Penny Marshall basically saying that Chevy was cute but lacked charisma, and was therefore not all that funny (in comparison to John, of course). I doubt Chevy keeps a copy of that SNL book around his house for reading in his spare time.

I've always found Stiller funny in small doses (Reality Bites=good, Zoolander=not), and he seemed to me from what I read like he was a decent enough person in real life. So I was definitely shocked by learning it -- especially since he's a NYer, all y'all pulled together back then, even Giulianni became nicer, etc.

The book is pretty good reading, by the way. Buy it via the lawtalkers amazon.com link.

I always thought he was a whiny little prick, and that this truth about his character was the only reason that anyone could find the treatment he got in Meet the Parents funny.

Probably hard to believe given your interaction with all the brilliant, warm-hearted and funny New Yorkers on this board (the real losers we punted to California), but there are still plenty of self-important B-listers stalking our streets. As for Giuliani's disposition, I am reminded of this quote:

"And like all rotten bastards, when they get old, they become lonely. Not that that has any effect on their disposition. But they do learn the value of company."

Aren't you pregnant chicks supposed to be filled with universal love or the milk of human kindness or something? Damn.
