Star Wars, Underwear, Goats, and a Bonzo Dog

As Anakin Sywalker once said,

“Nooooooooooooooooooooo!” …

New York Daily News’ Lloyd Grove says: “Fresh from copping a plea to faking her own abduction, “Runaway Bride” Jennifer Wilbanks seems ready to cash in. I hear that Queen of All Media Judith Regan is close to inking a mid-six-figure deal with the 32-year-old Wilbanks and her on-again,
off-again future husband, John Mason, that includes movie-of-the-week rights (possibly for NBC) and a network television interview – maybe with Katie Couric. No comments all around.”

Now here’s a book/made for TV package I’d rather see…

Ripped from today’s headlines…

**“Underwear Thieves’ Return in Cambodia”

(AP)  Phnom

Penh, Cambodia – Robbers who strike while wearing only underwear, their

bodies slathered with oil to make them slippery and harder to catch,

have resurfaced in Cambodia.

Or, let’s take the “House over run with stray pets” meme and run with it…  Make it big enough for a coffee table book and an HBO series…. Again, from today’s headlines (really)…

**“Woman lays waste to property with 43 goats”

(Reuters) Berlin

– A German woman living with 43 goats was evicted from her

rented house after the animals left “knee-high” piles of droppings

around the garden and laid waste to the building’s interior,

authorities said Tuesday.

O.K. I’m in a bad mood.  You spend six hours in a car dealership service department – and with not enough blood to pay the bill.  At least there’s one bit of good news today….

**“British Pubs to Begin Longer Hours in Nov.”

(AP)  London

– Britain’s strict licensing laws that date back to World War I will be

swept away on Nov. 24 when legislation to relax drinking hours takes

effect, the government said Wednesday.

Yippee!
