Believe it or not (and if I were you I wouldn’t believe it either, but it’s true), I’m a little ahead on things and the following blogs are written and ready to go! The first will be going up tomorrow and the next ones after that. It’s the Summer of George! Sit back on your sofa, eat a block of cheese, and get ready to enjoy these posts.

My Review of Saturday Night Fever: The Musical, at Sea

I saw this on my recent cruise, and it wasn’t the waves that were making me queasy. This continued my trend of not being able to escape Brooklyn, even over a thousand miles away from New York.

John Newly Has A Crush (Lying Awake with John Newly #10)

THE DATING GAMEJohn Newly, late night coast to coast paranormal radio show host (Am I being too subtle? It’s a George Noory parody.), welcomes his favorite guest and does some not very subtle flirting with a numerology expert. Also on display is his stunning lack of basic math skills.

Before I Hit Delete And Empty The Trash

Michael Jackson vs. Russell Crowe: This Is Real

April 4, 2015

Russell Crowe: Hollywood A-list actor best known for his crankiness.

Michael Jackson: Music superstar best known for, well, you know.

I am not making this one up. Russell Crowe may be making this one up, but I am in no position to challenge him. (And if I were, I still wouldn’t do it. I am not crazy.)

According to Crowe, he was the victim of prank calls for years, all perpetrated by Michael Jackson. I’ll let the New York Post (our motto: “Sure, whatever, we’ll print it.”) take it from here:

The only thing in that article that raises a suspicious note is that Michael used “a strong voice.” I imagine that even your average castrati could muster a stronger voice than Michael Jackson.

“Do you have Prince Albert in a can? OOOOH! Just kidding, this is Michael!”

Am I the only one who imagines Russell Crowe acting just like Moe from the Simpsons? “Listen up Michael, when I catch up to you I’m going to rip your lungs out of your anus!” Then he pulls the phone out of the wall and throws it out the window.

However, I am happy to say that the story gets even better from here. I’ll let the New York Daily News (our motto: “buy us for our pretty ads.”) continue:

Russell Crowe has just jumped to the top of the list of people I’d like to have dinner with. This guy has all the best stories.

I really want to know what his fake name was. It couldn’t have been “Mr. Big Pants.” That’s me.
