That '75 El
Camino you see tooling around Beverly Hills with the "#1 Delroy
Lindo
Fan" bumpersticker belongs to none other than yours truly...Though
I've always been in awe of his work on the big screen, Charlton Heston's
political views give me the heeves. That is, until I spoke with the man
recently.
Chuck tells me that when he accepted the presidency of
the National Rifle Association, he did so thinking that they shared
his advocacy of a citizen's right to bear squirt guns...By the way,
Chuck
also told me that former Ronald Reagan speechwriter
Peggy Noonan
came up with the "from my cold, dead hands" line he used to slay an assembly
of the NRA a few years back. For those who've never been, let me
assure you that Miss Noonan is one helluva great lay...As I creep
closer and closer to death's door, I still get a thrill going online into
X-Men
chat rooms and calling everyone virgins...Whoever came up with the word
"gusto" is a genius!...I'm no scientist, but I love beakers...and that
goes double for bunsen burners...It still amazes me when I hear that
Art
Linkletter is still breathing...Smelliest farter ever: I gotta go with
the late Jessica Tandy. Loudest: Author John Cheever, hands
down...If you're looking for comfort with style while prancing about the
house, try a pair of capri pants and thank me later...Lost in the hubbub
over Linda McCartney's unfortunate passing was the fact that she
was rock and roll's foremost keyboardist...Color me crazy, but I like my
ramen
noodles sans the flavor packet...Don't try and tell me that was Senor
Wences making that voice come out of his fist; There was something
otherworldly going on there, gang...I also keeled over the other day when
someone informed me that they had cancelled "Nia Peeples' Party Machine"...You'd
never be able to tell by the TV cameras, but I've been sporting a van dyke
beard for years...Is World War II over yet? I only ask because I'm
getting sick of hiding the Von Trapp Family in my basement. (I know
I sound a tad harsh, but I hate show tunes)...If you want classy
evening wear, you want a tuxedo with a fireman's hat...Why in the hell
doesn't Scrabble come with an amlaut tile?...Milli Vanilli's
best song continues to be "Girl You Know It's True"...Recently, from my
perch atop the Washington Monument, I spied a very intoxicated Rosanne
stealing change from the Reflecting Pool...My dead buddy, Lenny
Bruce (He was a regular on my Miami radio show in the '60's), always
slayed me with his "I'm with stupid" t-shirt...The latest opus in The
Babysitter's Club series is one helluva page-turner...The day they
made former "People's Court" bailiff Rusty Burrell, they
broke the mold...Kudos to my pal, Matthew Lesko, for figuring out
a way for me to get one hundred telephone poles on the federal government's
dime. A kudo within a kudo to Bob Mackie for designing that marvelous
Riddler
outfit Lesko sports in his ubitquious overnight TV infomercials...I
never enjoy surfing unless I arrive at the beach that day via pie wagon...This
Saturday on my "Larry King Live" CNN show, don't miss a roundtable
discussion on whether Patti Page is really a "singing rage". Panelists
will include Ving Rhames, Space Ghost, Barbara Feldon
and Alan Dershowitz...There's something about the way Stone Phillips
tilts his head when introducing a story on "Dateline NBC" that makes
me feel like a giddy schoolgirl...When I hear that the girl in "Dirty
Dancing" is named "Baby," I start wondering just how lazy those Hollywood
screenwriting hacks are...Speaking of "Dirty Dancing," Jerry
Orbach: Wow! That's one helluva set of choppers...This just in: The
real "Fiddler on the Roof" was deathly afraid of heights...I like
the Orlando Rage in the XFL this year, pending script approval. |
