Mariah Carey to once again befoul movie screens
A
lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think
that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Butterflies are
always following me, everywhere I go.
I don't mind being
compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be
compared
to.
Quotes from Ms. Carey
Mariah Carey, who poisoned moviegoers’ eyes with her
abominable, I mean really, really, really, abominable 2001 flop, Glitter, is
preparing to repeat the process of artistic pollution once more.
Carey will play a waitress in
Tennessee
, directed by Lee Daniels, who produced The Woodsman and Monster's Ball.
"Yes, I’m sleeping with him. God, why is that always
the first question?” Carey asked.
As we all might remember the only good thing that came from
Carey's 2001 film and soundtrack flop Glitter was her breakdown from
exhaustion and the resulting silence. Ah
memories…

Warning Signs You Might Have Alzheimer’s
1. You
are frequently quoted as saying, “I may have Alzheimer’s, but at least I
don’t have Alzheimer’s.”
2. Personal grooming habits
change: It's a hard problem to admit, but if your mom or dad is wearing their
dirty hippy clothes from the 1960’s, if they have bad breath or body odor,
or don’t brush their teeth or hair, they may have Alzheimer’s… Actually,
that kind of describes hippies from back then, doesn’t it? Ignore this one.
3. You
suddenly find yourself… Sorry… where was I?
4. Spoiled food in the refrigerator or
insufficient food in the house. It could be a sign that your loved one
is growing forgetful or, if you’re lucky, it could just mean that they are
poor.
5. Piles of unopened mail or
unread newspapers. Everyone gets behind in reading, ergo, everyone has
Alzheimer’s.
6. Missed bill payments or changes in
finances. Again, poverty is just as likely. Yay! No Alzheimer’s –
just desperate poverty!!!!
7. Quits activities he or she once
enjoyed. Has your mother given up going to church? Well guess what?
That doesn’t mean she has Alzheimer’s – it means she doesn't like
church!

How
America
Could Win The World Cup
Ha,
ha, ha… Yeah, sure. Okay, okay,
it is only seven games and, hah! well, anything can happen, I, hmph, ha! Okay,
it would go something like this…
*Since writing
this, The
U.S.
has already lost its first game. Clearly they weren’t taking my
notes…
First
round
In
this year's World Cup, the USA has to play a game apiece against traditional
European powers and three-time Cup winners Italy; the offensively-strong Czech
Republic; and Ghana. No sweat. Easy peasy, right…?
The U.S. first go up against the Czechs, who led all of European qualifying in
goal-scoring with the firepower of Milan Baros and Jan Koller up top and the
rock-solid Petr Cech of Chelsea in the nets. But, hey, the
U.S.
players have been provided with chemical weapons and slipping some of those
into the team’s water could make the difference.
And it would also be pretty entertaining to watch the Czech team
running around on the pitch as their teeth and hair fall out.
On the same day,
Italy
is shocked by a
U.S.
air strikes on
Venice
,
Rome
,
Naples
, etc., that all but turns the country into rubble. That attack rattles the
Italians, and when the
U.S.
squares off against them in
Kaiserslautern
against a strongly pro-USA crowd fed by the nearby Air Force base, the
Italians are too busy weeping for their country to care about anything else.
Inconsolable grief =’s a guaranteed win.
The
U.S.
only needs a point to win the group in their final game against
Ghana
, and they get it. The players use a combination of grit, strategy and
handguns to pull of this incredible feat.
Second
round
Because
the
USA
wins the group, they avoid having to face
Brazil
, and instead meet the shock runners-up of Group F —
Canada
. Yes,
Canada
…
The
Canadians are not even in the tournament but are still game. But the
U.S.
has a secret weapon — free beer! The
hungover hosers are no match. And the fact that didn’t even qualify makes
victory a cinch.
Quarterfinals
The
U.S.
gets to face the
Ukraine
, who knock off a weakened French side in the second round.
The
game is a pitched battle, akin to the
USA
's quarterfinal performance against
Germany
in 2002 with one difference —
America
has the player’s wives held hostage and will only release them alive if the
U.S.
wins the game. The
U.S.
wins the game.
Semifinals
The
toughest game the
U.S.
has ever played takes place July 4th in
Dortmund
, and pits the
U.S.
against Europe's toughest team —
Holland
. Yes, the Dutch have made it through and knocked out the hosts for good
measure, which works in the Americans' favor. Hours
before the game
America
troops round up all the Dutch players – turns out they’re terrorists!
Another victory!
Finals
America
is riveted. People that couldn't tell a shin guard from a shoehorn are in the
throes of World Cup fever.
Ann
Coulter is reporting live from
Germany
, having made the snap decision to fly over there and "meet the
Huns." (She’ll use that phrase some hundred times over
the course of two weeks.)
Morning TV shows are airing bits about alcoholic
soccer moms in mini vans; and the wide range of drunk driving charges against
them. Wackiness abounds!
And who does the
U.S.
play? Why,
England
of course! And that means that all
is requited is one phone call from George Bush to his lapdog Tony Blair. Victory
is theirs.

Mary:
Goodbye Simon.
She
leaves.
Simon:
Simon says fine. Simon says there are plenty of other chicks out there. Simon
says fuck you. Simon says good
riddance… Simon says he needs that drink!
(Simon looks at you -- the reader) Simon says stop reading this
– now!
