Odds 'N' Ends

I spent half of yesterday fixing websites and half working on Groo. What do these two jobs have in common? Neither one will ever be perfect, I'll probably have to do both of them next week and they pay about the same. But it is nice that this blog hasn't had a hostile takeover for something like sixteen hours. Let's see how long it lasts.

A number of you wrote about my comment that Sammy Davis Jr. was half-Jewish. I didn't mean it by dictionary definition. That's just the way it was always phrased when it was discussed on TV, and I think Sammy even put it that way. If you want to argue the point, dig up Joey Bishop and discuss it with him.

Several of you wrote to ask about the secret, forbidden screening I attended in the early seventies of Animal Crackers. I wrote about it here.

And by the way, if you'd like your copy of Steve Stoliar's book autographed, he sells them that way at his website.

Last night on his show, Jay Leno had Janet Jackson on and somehow allowed her to turn her entire spot into an infomerical for Nutri-System. Somehow, no matter what he asked her, the answer to every question included a recommendation of Nutri-System. Johnny would never have let a guest get away with that.

I think that's about all I have right now. I'm going to post a video link, go to bed and hope this site is here in the morning. Good night, Internet.
