Walken

You know what would be funny? If some comedian started doing impersonations of Christopher Walken. Even better, Christopher Walken in some sort of unexpected situation. Man, I bet that would kill.

Punctuation Olympics!?

1. far and away my favorite combination of punctuation marks:
?!

talk about maximum impact with minimal means. fuck pi, someone should base a whole life philosophy on ?!

2. second place = punctuation curse words. like:
F@&$%#!

note: try putting a parenthesis into your punctuation curse. curiously enough, it ruins the whole thing.

3. third place:

Lohan/Moss at Darkroom

Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss, those clean-up kids, were hanging out together at Darkroom, famously seedy LES bar, this week. Which is pretty much like Rafael Palmeiro deciding to kick steroids by hanging out with Jose Canseco and then going to Balco just to, ya know, see what the employees are up to.

Jay, Keep it in Your Pants

I felt rather uncomfortable the other night. The cause? The Tonight Show showed Jay Leno rocking out to Coldplay. I presume some NBC honcho had the idea that Jay should stand next to the stage during musical performances because, well, I have no idea. So there's Jay clapping along and bopping to the rocking sounds of Apple Daddy and the boys. Was about a 98.5 on the awkward scale (and both acts get a 99.8 on the talent-level-does-not-justify-level-of-commercial-success scale).

The only thing more creepy: When Jay has some hot new starlet in the chair and always feels compelled to ask, "So you had a love scene in this movie. What was that like?" And then the inevitable follow-up: "Was it weird having the whole crew standing around and watching you though?" Every single fucking time he pulls that crap. When Conan or Dave flirts with guests, it's kinda cute. With Jay, it's just ew.

And then last night he had Sarah Jessica Parker on. She's got a new perfume out and joked that it had social skills so it "won't dominate a room." Jay responded, and this is verbatim, "Nah, you wouldn't want a perfume called 'Domination'...or 'Bondage'...or 'Spank Me, Spank Me', now would you?" Why stop there Jay? Just hand her a whip and get it over with.

I like to imagine the waiver form for Leno guests says something like this: "I understand that Jay's been married since even before he got famous and it's killing him that he's famous but doesn't get to bang chicks and that when he's not obsessively buying vintage cars he likes to channel his sexual repression by asking actresses creepy-guy-in-trenchcoat questions."
