This sounds like someone who needs to be shown footage of Catherine Deneuve and Roberto Benigni.
Now I'm wondering what The Hunger would have been like with Benigni in Bowie's role....
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

$3,700 (Australian) pizza: [link]
The 30.5-cm pizza features an organic base spread with a sunblush tomato sauce. Other toppings include Scottish smoked salmon and medallions of venison.
The creation is finished off with edible 24-carat gold shavings.
The money will go to charity.
Now I'm wondering - if you consume gold shavings (like, say, Goldschlager), will your poop be all golden sparkley?

BOISE, Idaho - Two employees of the city's ice skating rink have been fired for making a midnight fast-food run in a pair of Zambonis. An anonymous tipster reported seeing the two big ice-resurfacing machines chug through a Burger King drive-through and return to the rink around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 10. The squat, rubber-tired vehicles, which have a top speed of about 5 mph, drove 1 1/2 miles in all.
The Zamboni operators, both temporary city employees whose names and ages were not released by the Parks and Recreation Department, had to negotiate at least one intersection with a traffic light on their late-night creep from Idaho Ice World.
"They were fired immediately," said Parks Department Director Jim Hall. "We're pretty sure it was just the one time. When we interviewed them, they didn't seem to be too concerned about it. I don't think they understood the seriousness of it."

I love that story. Just the image of them saying "Let's take the Zambonis out!" and then trundling through the drive-through makes me very happy.
I wonder how many people saw it and laughed instead.

If I had seen that, I think I'd have been ROTFLMAO....

Having stood on the sidewalk watching a Nike Goalie drive his zamboni up to GM Place, I'm not seeing the horribleness of the offense either. Unless the guys didn't have driver's licenses...

There's a production of Company on Broadway?

Does it frell up the Zambonis?

There's a production of Company on Broadway?
Yep. Well, it officially opens on Wednesday -- it's still in previews right now. It's directed by what'shisname, the guy who directed Sweeney Todd last year, with the same concept of having the actors play instruments.
