Laz is a strange animal, and FR fixture. But in his own weird way he has respect for the ladies here.
“Wedding Singer”
I LOVE that movie, one of the few I’m happy to watch over and over. Just watched it with hubby a couple of weeks ago, in fact.
“Sister Act wasnt that bad.”
I liked that movie too, the concept was rather clever. And it was not disrespectful of religious faith, well I didn’t think it was anyway. Better than a lot of other stuff out there to be sure, silly as it was.
“Anyone remember [Ben Hect]?”
Sure, the name is familiar. Didn’t he write “The Front Page” (co-wrote I think actually) and wasn’t that the basis for “Chicago”?
I have heard he has and does demand special treatment

She just passed away today. My reading of her status in the world of celbritydom is she wasn’t an A lister in general but in the world of geekdom she was. Her non Star Wars acting career was um quirky. She was also an author and script doctor and a typical hollyweird leftist moonbat. I am sorry for her death but I doubt you will be hearing much about her soon given our current endless news cycles.
Somebody named Hyawatha Taught doesn’t like what I said about your two cardboard Princess Leia’s. No sense of humor in this one.
Now, I lived about 2-1/2 blocks away from Eddie Fisher’s sister (who I waved to once in a while). Does that make me a 7 degrees of Carrie Fisher candidate?
And Al Kaline, once of the Orioles and later Detroit, visited his aunt and uncle who lived next door to me, when he played in Baltimore. Never saw him unfortunately as I had his 1957 Topps card, the one with the beautiful orange-red background which I would have loved to have signed. Does that make me a 7 degrees of Al Kaline player?
Once saw Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neill in the LA Airport but I rarely talk about that. She gave me the brush off when I looked at her. In fact, she gave the whole airport the brush-off when she came strutting by.
Oh Babs, you broke my heart. No, not really. Great voice. Great lack of humility.
Just rambling. Letting the brain do its thang for the holiday period.
We celebrate that old Navy holiday and say “Have a Happy Quonset Hut”. Naval Air Station guys will know what I mean.
Have a Happy New Year. Maybe you can get a cardboard Christina Applegate to ease your sorry over Carrie. Both are beautiful women and nice people.
I’m burning my Helen Thomas cutout. It killed all the roaches in the basement so I won’t need it any more.
Chao!
Robin Williams, Robin Williams, Robin Williams.

As the great philosopher John Riggins once said to Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor, “Lighten up Sandy baby”.
We all loved Carrie Fisher. She was a good actress and her one-woman show was awesome.
Plus, any woman who can handle a shoulder-fired rocket as she did in “The Blues Brothers” is okay by me.
PS: I gave my granddaughter a 1990’s 12” Princess Leia doll for her birthday. She loved it. We are Star Wars trekkies to the max.
“You Will listen to every Word I have to Say!”
LOVE STINKS,,,,Funny stuff!
Ok, well, I know Mark Stein, singer for Vanilla Fudge, and Yankee legend Whitey Ford lives right upstairs from him. I interviewed Leslie Mandoki, who was friends with Mikhail Gorbachev. Richard Boone (”Paladin”) once rented my dad’s farm to stage a fistfight for the show in it.
Yes, he (Ben Hecht) co-wrote Front Page. He was a newspaperman in Chi before he became a screen writer.
