Rather than motivation, I'd accept a benign but temporarily incapacitating stomach bug for my principal tomorrow, okay?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Erik Estrada's worst offense I know of is hawking shady condominium developments in Arkansas, and he's probably been around enough police consultants in his career to avoid embarrassing himself. But I really fear that putting grade z celebrity famewhores in positions of pseudo-authority on patrols is going to result in some innocent person getting pistol-whipped in an argument for not bowing and scraping to their satisfaction.

It's been a semi-productive day, as I've bought a few groceries and determined that I need never again eat at the drive-thru pagoda restaurant I've always wondered about. Also, the Kavan Smith craze I've been on recently has resulted in me watching him get hoovered up by the ravenous alien va-jay-jay of Alyssa Milano in a decade old Outer Limits episode. I really should have looked for brain bleach while I was at the supermarket.

I saw that very same Identity thing, and I didn't recognize Bruce Jenner either--and I saw the Olympics he was in. I simply didn't recognize him. Is that the one where they had Miss USA in the skimpy bikini that did nothing for her other than to show how scarily bony she is? I'm always amazed the contestants can do as well as they do.

Crap. I apparently picked up guacamole dip not actual guac. It's too salty (and yes, I prefer homemade, but I didn't have time.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought it was weird that I didn't recognize her, after seeing her on Project Runway and the actual pageant. She must have lost weight since then, what with all the partying.

And the kissing. Don't forget the kissing.

A notorious calorie-burner, it's true.

Although I'd still blame it on the coke first.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I kind of love it that Erik Estrada is going to be on Armed and Famous.

Not enough to watch it, but enough to smile when I think about it.

-t speaks for me in this instance.

I'm also with Matt that this could very well be a recipe for disaster and I worry for the people that end up with the celebs responding to their calls.

IO-police-related news, my cousin is currently going through the police academy for real. He related how he's been doing pretty much average in everything, but when they got to the baton, he was kicking everyone's butt. Probably one of the rare instances where training with a sword and playing a combat LARP actually has real-world benefits.

As one of my other cousins noted, sometimes it pays to be a dork.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The show is kind of interesting, except for the fact that they draaaggg.... outtttt.... evvvvery.... thinnnggggg.

Just one of many current game shows to mistake dead air for suspense. I blame Regis.
