Say "Happy Birthday" Gracie

Today would have been the 108th birthday for half of one of comedy's best duos, Burns and Allen. In honor of Gracie's birthday, I give you two of the best in the business, Tony Braithwaite and Jen Childs.

An Apple That Looks Like A Tomato A Day....

Is a HUGE waste of time. The new "Redlove Era" apple is red all the way to the core making it appear like a tomato. And although this new apple wasn't genetically made -- it was done through cross-pollination and grafting (I thought that was for burn victims?) -- it still took 20 years to make. 20 YEARS!?!?!? Don't you think we need to be putting our efforts elsewhere? You know like Cancer research, eliminating world poverty, capping a gushing oil leak in less than 3 months....

Immediately after hearing about this new apple, I could only think about Jerry Seinfeld's take on the seedless watermelon:

A Must See

Other than "Inception" -- which is the first movie since "The Dark Knight" that I've bought tickets to in advance -- "The Social Network" is the movie I'm most excited to see this year. Even if you don't use/hate Facebook I think is a movie to see. Holy crap does this look good and the teaser doesn't even show a single clip from the movie. Why should I be surprised, Aaron Sorkin (Syracuse Grad and creator of "The West Wing") wrote the script. His words are gold.

NJ's Own Bruce Willis Doesn't Smell Like The Turnpike

Happy Wednesday -- New Jersey's own, Bruce Willis (he grew up in Penns Grove, NJ about 25 minutes from my hometown of Washington Twp.), is having quite the week already. First off, Mr. Yippe Ki Yay himself is getting his own fragrance. I think this official makes him one of the last celebrities on Earth to not give the perfume business a try. I love one write up of the new line that describes the fragrance smelliing "of grapefuit, pepper and vetiver, which is disappointing for me, since I always assumed Bruce Willis gave off a scent of dirt, sweat, and terrorist blood." And what the hell is "vetiver?" Before I looked it up I thought it sounded like a type of fabric.

At least we did get this great little song from the group "Jeep Cheroke" dedicated to Mr. Willis.
