posted by Momo Fali on February 22, 2008

Not only should we never drink and drive, but we shouldn’t drink and send e-mails either. The following arrived in my inbox, from my BFF, at 3:12 AM last Sunday. Did you realize you could slur while typing? Please note, she did NOT drive. It’s quite clear that her car was at Robing’s house. Enjoy…

MSN Health and Fitness has declared fungi-filled facial products to be the newest “age-erasers”. It turns out that mushrooms can decrease inflammation and improve the tone of your skin.

You should discontinue ‘shroom application if skin irritation occurs, or if you suddenly develop an affinity for tie-dyed t-shirts and Joan Baez music.

Either That, Or One Whole Triscuit

This green dress, worn by Keira Knightley in the movie Atonement, is being auctioned to benefit Variety-The Children’s Charity of Southern California. Currently, the bid is $6300.00. So, if you have enough money, it can be yours. And, if you eat just half a head of lettuce in the next 60 days…maybe you can actually wear it.

The Ramifications Of The Writer’s Strike

posted by Momo Fali on February 13, 2008
The Writer’s Guild of America strike has officially ended, but because it went on so long the industry lost over $1 billion. In addition to the massive financial loss, there has been another travesty. American Gladiators has been renewed for a second season.

In case you haven’t watched it, the show is based on pairing gigantic steroid-filled men and women against average folks in tests of speed, power and agility. It is hosted by Hulk Hogan…


…and Laila Ali (that would be Muhammad’s daughter).


American Gladiator challenges are named things like, “Gauntlet”, “Assault”, “Hit and Run”, and “The Eliminator”. Sometimes the competitors prevail, but most of the time…well, let’s just say they’re lucky to be wearing helmets.

Just imagine competing against people with names like Titan, Stealth, Militia, Fury and Mayhem. Here are a couple of their bios…

This is a lovely Swede named Hellga. She’s a delicate lady coming in a 6’1”, and weighing 205 lbs. In her spare time she likes to make meatballs from scratch and split wood with her bare hands.


This is Wolf. He thinks he’s, well…a wolf. Really.
As if their massive size isn’t enough, the Gladiators attempt to intimidate the competitors by saying things like, “Crush is gonna CRUSH you”, or, “Venom has your lethal dose right here.”

The competitors often have snappy comebacks too.

Despite the tough talk, the producers try and throw the contestants off by dressing the men like women.

Thanks to the writer’s strike, and without new shows to air, NBC has declared American Gladiators a surprise hit. Apparently, the network executives didn’t consider that we just didn’t have anything else to watch.
