Why are ribbed T-shirts gay?

Posted by jeff on 24th June 2009 in * Daily Rant *

I don’t know why they are, but I seem to know instinctively that ribbed T-shirts are almost exclusively worn by gay men. Why is that?cw011_blk1

June Gloom Rocks

Posted by jeff on 11th June 2009 in * Daily Rant *

I got through telling a newcomer to L.A. that the whole June Gloom thing is a myth, because the last two or three years we’ve had nothing but hot and sun from March to October. Now, here we are with day after glorious day of gray and cool. And the thing is, people here hate it. We get hundreds of hot sunny days here each year and one week it goes cool when it should be baking hot and people complain. Clearly, these people never lived in Chicago.

Moonwalker with Michael Jackson

Posted by jeff on 9th June 2009 in * Daily Rant *

How come Michael Jackson’s movie Moonwalker wasn’t ever released in the U.S. on DVD? I own it on VHS and want to make the upgrade. If you’ve never seen it, anything you ever thought about Jackson will pale in comparison. It remains a sea of insanity. It’s like watching a propaganda movie of Hitler, if Hitler could dance.3aa5e7_1

Hard on Canada

Posted by jeff on 6th June 2009 in * Daily Rant *

On Friday mornings, 8:30 a.m. PST, I am on a wonderful daily radio show, The Shauna Rae Show, cjbk.com. We talk entertainment, but I also joke about earlier segments in the show. London, Ontario, seemed angry today, when people blamed a woman with a deep voice for not being able to get her personal bank info over the phone because the customer rep person said she sounded “not like a Melissa.” Canada was blaming the woman, and I gave them what for. Sorry, Canada, if i was hard on you.

Reality of Death!

Posted by jeff on 1st June 2009 in * Daily Rant *

It finally happened. Someone on the king of reality TV – Survivor – died. OK, it was Survivor Bulgaria, but still … I’ve been saying for years this would happen. At some point, death will become the top ratings getter in TV. They already have Deadliest Catch and there was that insane reality show about people who climbed Mount Everest. But one day someone on American Survivor will die. How people respond will alter TV going forward from that point.pic-152

The movie Up is fantastic

I don’t know how Pixar does it, but they now are 10 for 10 in movies that are critical and commercial hits (assuming Up get a big audience this weekend). It’s a don’t miss for sure.

“My Boys” is already over … again

Posted by jeff on 28th May 2009 in * Daily Rant *

Awesome even in its weakest moments, My Boys is already done with its third season, which ran all of nine episodes. They haven’t decided if it will get renewed yet, but I hope so. It’s one of the things I get most excited about …. because my life is so action packed.images-2

Shocking the owners

Posted by jeff on 27th May 2009 in * Daily Rant *

By far the place I know with the best customer service is called 21 Choices. It’s a frozen yogurt place. The line can be out the door but no one complains because the workers are smart, friendly and nice. I live nowhere near one of their three locations but I go whenever I’m near. And I think about 21 Choices every time I’m in a place with lousy customer service, such as the Cold Stone Creamery in North Hollywood. I left there the other day without getting my ice cream because I can’t give money when the service is so bad. The problem is, the person behind the counter could care less. She WANTS me to leave so she has less to do. So I wish there was a way that whenever service sucked, I could give a small electric shock to the owner. That might make owners wake up and fix the problem of bad, dumb, mean workers. images-1

Packaging for over the counter medicine sucks!

Posted by jeff on 21st May 2009 in Uncategorized

There’s a new thing going on with medicine that makes no sense. Pick up a bottle of anything at the drugstore and see what I mean. Look for the directions. You can’t see them. Why? They are under a flap of other, less-important info. To read the directions you must peel off a layer of crap. Can anyone explain this? It makes no sense. always_read_me_first
