ANYBODY WANT MINE? ... OH, DIDN'T THINK SO...

I'm from the school that doesn't quite understand the furor that's created by some people over getting a well-known person's autograph. Some people have autograph books, or pay huge amounts of money to get something signed, but really, are they that cool? A celebrity writes their name of a piece of paper. yay. awesome. yay. So what? I can understand it perhaps in an historical perspective, like, say, if Genghis Khan's John Hancock was found on a piece of parchment, but a living, breathing celebrity? Paying $100, or even more, for an autograph? Or hiding outside their driveway and jumping them when they come out of their house?? Puh-lease. In a few years time, nobody will probably even remember who that celebrity is. Get a life! It's some scratchings on a piece of paper!

CARDIAC ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

This is perhaps one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. It ranks right up there with Spike Lee suing Spike TV because they "using his name." Hip hop group Arrested Development are suing Fox for using their name as the title of the new Fox sitcom Arrested Development, saying that "Fox's usage of the phrase will "dilute the meaning" of their name with fans."

Okay, first of all, Arrested Development (the band) has fans?? They haven't had a hit song since like 1992, and that date might even be a little generous. And second of all, their name has a meaning?? I didn't know it meant anything in particular, and probably 99% of their fan base didn't either. What does it mean, pray tell?

They should be happy that their band's name is in the public conciousness again! Yes, I thought of them when I first heard the name of the show. Did I think it was blasphemy to name a TV show the same name as an obviously forgotten early 90s music group? Uh uh.

And neither does ALL OF AMERICA.

And in case you're wondering, I actually have their first album, bought when I was a wee lass when "Tennessee" first came on the airwaves. So you see, if an original, hardcore fan like myself isn't offended by this, then I don't think anyone cares.

*Note: I'm not really a hardcore Arrested Development fan. Because besides "Tennesse" and "Mr. Wendel," really, what was there? Nothing but empty promise my friends...nothing but empty promise...

*COUGH*

Why do certain foods make you cough? Like Fla-Vor-Ice, Smarties, and Green Apple martinis. Although I love them all, whenever I eat them, at some point they will make me cough uncontrollably. Yet I still continue to eat them. Why? Apparently I'm a glutton for punishment. *proudly* I'll keep doing it too! *sniffle* Every time! *choked up* And I'll do it for everyone of you too dammit! *sob*
