The OTHER election Cougar visits the Fox…….  

Posted at 1:36 pm in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

Cindy McCain, the other hot (-ish) republican cougar in the Presidential campaign, brunched at the Fox in Avondale, yesterday.  She was joined by Rudi Giuliani, who I have always thought, underneath it all, would be a good guy to go for a cold one with.

Maybe in Monty’s, a few doors down. Drinking starts there about brunchtime.

Not Mrs. McCain

Not Mrs. McCain

According to Channel 4, Mrs. McCain had this to say about her husband’s chances in Florida:

“I just believe in the good sense of the American people,” ……. “I believe we’re going to win Florida because I believe people, when it comes right down to it, they don’t want higher taxes.”

These re-pubs keep going on about higher taxes. How important is that compared with the fact that opponent Barack Obama has NEVER OWNED A DOG?

It’s true. Look it up. It has sent people close to Joe into agonies of political self-doubt.

[I like the Fox for breakfast. It is probably the best place within two miles of Bones HQ. But I have two reservations: 1. They always add, unsolicited, bits of fruit on the side of your plate, and 2. I think one of the waitresses is an emo. More on this later.]

Today is trash day…..  

Posted at 12:36 pm in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

Coincidentally, Zip Code 90210 has the same trash day as Zip Code 32210. Here are some pictures of lovely Tracy Bingham putting out the trash, this morning, in West Beverly Hills:

Not dissimilar to the scenario at Bone's house this morning

Not dissimilar to the scenario at Bone's hideout, this morning.

Good wheelie-bin skills

Good skills

My main takeaway from this is that this young lady has three large trash cans of different colors (one not shown). What’s all that about? I mean, how many people live in her house?

Google’s new toy….  

Posted at 11:44 am in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

The airshow was awesome and some pics will be up soon. While I am in the mood, you need to know that if I was the kind of person who had earned billions of dollars from a website, I’d be the kind of person to spend it on a “light attack jet.”

Because, apparently, these kinds of weapons are available to billionaire businessmen like the Google Geeks, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Go Second Amendment!

No less a news source than the New York Times reports that Google has added to its fleet of aircraft with one of these bad boys:

Other owners include, evidently, the Luftwaffe.

Other owners include, evidently, the Luftwaffe.

If I was Microsoft, I’d be seriously considering investing some of those Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds in a couple of THESE.

I wonder if this acquisition has helped advance the Google Geek’s ongoing quest to finally, at long last, get laid………..

Something for the weekend # 3  

Posted at 1:51 pm in rivercityvibe | No Comments »
The lovely Veronika Zemanova

The lovely Veronika Zemanova

Hot dang-diggety.

The usual source gives us the following fascinating facts:

Her original stage name was Eva, but due to a production error her real name was accidentally published, so at that point she dropped the pseudonym. Zemanová has appeared in a number of united States and United Kingdom pictorial publications……

A low-budget British independent film, Zemanovaload, about a man obsessed with the model, was released in 2005. It starred the Irish comedian Ed Byrne.

I am not going to lie to you. I approve of this young lady.

Enjoy. I’ll be at the airshow if you need me.

Let’s face it, Point Break was a highpoint  

Posted at 1:11 pm in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

If you, like me, were of legal age to drink and know the opposite sex in the nineties, it is very likely, that you love, to the point of obsession, the movie Point Break (1991).

Which one of us can honestly claim that we have not used the phrase “Back off, Warchild” in faux seriousness for the amusement of our buddies? I mean…. all of us, right?

The movie was awesome.  Not only was it a break out part from the guy from Bill and Ted, but it also introduced Gary Busey, a man who until recent Entourage cameos exited our consciousness as quickly as he entered.

Well, Busey is back in a big way, with the National Enquirer running a story headlined:

GARY BUSEY SNORTED COKE OFF DOG

Not all there?

Not all there?

The story focuses on Busey’s drug habits before he sustained the traumatic brain injury that is often cited as the reason for his off-the-wall antics.

The Buddy Holly star who claims he’s been sober for years admits he went cuckoo for canine after his dog rolled in the priceless china white.

“I went in like a crop-duster with my nose flying first and snorted the cocaine off the dog,” Busey said in a recent interview.

But Busey got more than coke up his nose as he snorted dog stuff up as well.

“You get a little bugs, you get little hairs, you get grease and goo from the ground; it’s not at all a healthy thing to do.

Nice.

Let’s remember him in better times. For the Point Break trailer, click HERE.

What’s with all the hats?  

Posted at 7:36 am in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

Some Australian boffin has unearthed some pretty interesting film footage dating from 1904, which shows people going about their daily business in London, England, 104 years ago. Sky News carries a report. It is, actually, fascinating. But seriously, what’s with the headgear? I have watched this four times trying to spot a single person without a hat. There is not one. In the WHOLE OF LONDON.

To give local context, this was three years after the great Mossfire and 39 years after the end of the War of Northern Aggresssion. Man had already walked on the moon 39 years ago from today.

Madonna Divorce: Awesome  

Posted at 7:16 am in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

Divorce is not a laughing matter, particularly where kids are involved, probably. That said, the war of words between Madonna and Guy Ritchie is already, a mere week into the whole deal, bordering on the hysterically funny.

Bearing in mind that Madonna has an enormous multi-roled corporation behind her, with legions of attorneys and PR flacks, all interested in doing the dirty on Ritchie, it is, so far, a remarkably even battle. For example, when the Madonna camp leaks that she considers Ritchie  ‘unspiritual’ he counters by saying he thinks she is “old, fat, ugly and wrinkled”.

Us Weekly reports it like this:

Madonna and Guy Ritchie‘s marriage was plagued by physical and emotional abuse in recent years………

“She would taunt Guy, saying, ‘I should have married someone like me: strong, hot-blooded, intelligent, ambitious, spiritual,'” reveals a Ritchie source. “Their fights would often get heated. A few times Madonna slapped him or poked him.”

His reaction? “Guy called her old, fat, ugly and wrinkled and said that she was stupid and couldn’t sing,” another Madonna pal tells Us.

Ha!

Also, it appears Ritchie has wasted no time at all getting his self some strange, in the form of actress Kelly Reilly. Please compare and contrast:

Not bad for her age

Not bad for her age

Not bad at all.

Not bad at all.

You see, I could have used that picture of Madonna looking all HAGGARD that’s been doing the rounds, lately. The one with her very hairy daughter in tow. But I didn’t. It’s not about manipulating the reader. It’s about letting members of the rivercityvibe community make up their own minds…….

There. I’ve said it.

I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.  

Don’t think it is uncool to be very, very excited about this weekend’s NAS Jax Airshow. It’s not.

In fact, It’s seriously uncool NOT to be excited about seeing the Blue Angels, the USAF F-15 Eagle West Coast Demo team, the USAF F-16 Viper East Coast Demo team and the 82nd Airborne Division’s freefall team.

I mean, c’mon. What are you, un-American? Any more of that kind of talk and I’ll set Michele Bachman (R-MI) on you.

Saturday, I shall be  watching the whole thing from the comfort of a floating Gin-Palace on the St. John’s River. Sunday, I will be attending the event itself, looking at the static displays and watching some hardcore Civil War Reenactors. That’s right, the guys from Confederates in the Attic will be there. [Bones Note: I have many tales to tell of these guys. Get used to seeing them mentioned here].

Of course the main attraction will be the military fast jets, and their daring aerobatics. I can’t wait. Here is a taster:

I have to admit, the NAS airshow is right up there with Thanksgiving morning at Pete’s as a highlight of the year.

I’ll see y’all there.

Fey endorses Palin (particularly her rack).  

Posted at 3:18 pm in rivercityvibe | No Comments »

Over the last six weeks, as this extraordinary presidential campaign has unfolded, the one thing that has remained straightforward, flip-flop free, and ideologically pure has been the answer to the question,

“If you could bone anyone involved in this sorry charade, who would it be?”

Boys and girls (I am told) universally plum for Sarah Palin. Sarah “Good News McGee” Palin. The fact is, she is not just “hot for a politician” she is plain “hot”. Not her fault. Just the way it is. I have been surprised that more people have not commented on it. When comment did finally come, it came from an unlikely source. It came from Tina Fey.

sssssssst! Ouch!

sssssssst! Ouch!

Fey, who is responsible for the celebrated impression of Palin on SNL, had this to say now they have met in person:

“When I first saw her, I didn’t think we looked alike at all [Bones Note: You don’t]. Then during the convention, I started to think, ‘Ok, maybe a little.’
“I’ll tell you, that lady is five times better-looking than I am. She’s 44? She’s got none of that droopy s–t. She’s keeping it tight!”

Joe Bones could have told you that weeks ago, but nobody asked him.

And that’s the tragedy
