DISQUS

Thanks MBC, this is exactly the kind of story I come here for. We bought in 2003 and because we're on a busy street I doubt we could get our 2005 value, whatever that was, maybe more like 2004. Not that we are going anywhere. Kids are in school and I am mostly wondering about 12-15 years out when I'd like to get back to the beach. I guess I am bearish short-term but bullish on that horizon. Our market will always be healthier than the region and the nation as a whole. We will recover faster and better when that time comes.

While it should go without saying that even a legitimate President's "ordered" $500,000 pay cap is an unenforceable intrusion into the private sector, as if that weren't enough, Obama LACKS EVEN OSTENSIBLE AUTHORITY to issue the order UNTIL HE OVERCOMES "RES IPSA LOQUITUR" BY SUPPLYING HIS LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PROVING HIS ELIGIBILITY TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE US CONSTITUTION.

Agreed, Sandra. As I said, I liked 511 Pacific, too. I think it will sell for around $1.8 million. In fact, every new home that I can't possibly afford, I like to imagine selling for $1.8 million. That's part of my new reality. However, those flashy bathrooms made my head hurt. Coupled with those shallow sinks, I might only pay $1.7 million.

SWP had more than enough chances at Chelsea and simply was not good enough. Maybe if you watched football instead of spending time with your head up your arse you'd realise this.

Romney vs. Palin 4 McCain's VP It appears that it's all down to Alaska Gov Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

The tip-off that Politico is just a "promote Romney" piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! - even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops - I'll say tops by far - Romney as McCain's best pick).

Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most - as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most - which says a lot.)

AOL, a main on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.

Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction - hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).

Also, CNN had Romney - kind of out of the blue - attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

All the media frenzy which will surround the remarkable Palin "story" - essentially free to McCain - will be worth millions and millions of dollars of coverage and PR (more money than Romney would provide anyway).

Hey,


I'm just heading out the door and read your post! I really hope 2008 is a great year for you both professionally and personally! I have New Years off and some big plans. If you were in Palm Springs, I'd say join the fun. Anyhoo, I was listening to a song (I think Rick Nelson) on the way home after dinner which went something like..."you can't please everyone so you gotta please yourself!" ...pleasing yourself is the only thing that really matters! Peace out! Catch you on the blog next year!

Cool! I look forward to your "special" kind of episode.


Christmas Trivia: Two very important people share birthdays on Christmas day...can you name them?



---



Serious subject: If you had a chance to view my dog pics, then you realize that I'm not a vet...I just play one on the web. But I do know something about dogs.



Vet Ted's Advice:



1. Keep the dog hydrated



2. Limit food intake for now



3. Prevent them from chewing grass until their stomach is back to normal.



4. Sometimes a small amount of Pepto Bismol can help. Check with the Vet.



5. ONLY give your dog the very best dog food. I prefer...well my dogs prefer Eukenuba. The better the dog food, the less portions they need to eat for the same good nutrition.



6. Dog's should be fed just before they go to bed. At least large dogs so they don't play around and their stomach twists.



7. Pups and newer dogs can get nervous very easily...so keep his environment relaxed.



8. If it continues, take him to the Vet. ASAP. Pups can't afford to lose a lot of nutrition.



9. Did I mention to keep him hydrated.



Anyway, I hope he feels better. I know my dogs are like kids!

Hey Michael, After our last debacle, I don't think we should associate in the blog anymore...if you see me in here just walk the other way! Maybe she won't notice us. :) J/K


Hello, my name is Ted and I'm guilty of incorrectly using literally in this blog...I'm sure if I said, "Alison Rosen is literally the hottest person in print and news commentary" that she would still approve that comment. I bet she looses her "literal lunch" after reading some of my word usage and abbreviations. Think of me as the Badly Behaving Bastard Child of this Blog or BBBCB for short!



One itty bitty little suggestion and I hope you take this the right way (as a woman of POWER, I'm sure you won't): That picture of you next to the title...Would you consider changing it? There are so many great screen pics of you in these posts that I keep hoping you would switch. That one is great but as your blog publicist, I would advise that change can be good!



I ran across a great quote the other day, "I have my feet firmly planted on this cloud!"



Have a great day!

Ted's Post Game Wrap:


Alison: WOW, The FORCE is strong with this one Michael. Crap, I don't think she laughed once! Our plan was a total failure. However, did you see the nose twitch or face twitch during the Pork chop segment. If it was a nose twitch that was soooooo hot (Bewitched). I think it was a nose twitch...please tell us it was a nose twitch!



"Frottage and Persuasion of the Forbidden dance" - That was the sexiest line ever said on Red Eye.



You should have thrown an intro line back at Greg again...your the only guest with the balls enough to do it...that is of course if you had them...which you don't...which makes this sound stupid so I will switch to intestinal fortitude.



The viewer email was funny.



Is Courtney's smile a permanent thing?

Make it stop...Make it stop:



Whelchel, Lisa appeared in Facts of Life Down Under, which starred Leachman, Cloris who appeared in Demon Murder Case, which starred Bacon, Kevin



Fields, Kim appeared in Comeback Kid, which starred Ritter, John who appeared in Hero at Large which starred Bacon, Kevin



Cohn, Mindy appeared in "facts of life, which starred Hallowell, Todd who appeared in Apollo 13 which starred Bacon, Kevin

I bet she cracks Michael..I bet she starts laughing and can't finish a sentence. That is going to be classic.


Good luck Alison...he he



Ok, here is the secret code for your bloggers...instead of heavy blue eye shadow...make it really heavy blue eye shadow this time! :)



Have you abandoned the It's Just Word Play Blog? I get so confused where to post my brilliance.

Well, since sleep is the topic of the day, I fell asleep after my last post and just woke up...8:00pm. LOL


Oh, I hate to admit it but I am a big Laguna Beach / The Hills fan. I enjoy reality shows with Big Brother being my favorite.



Anyway, yeah Michael it was crazy trying to get a WII (Alison is probably like STFU about it already). After I bought all the accessories and games, It was about $500. That was just one of several gifts to buy. Argh!



Nice job in spotting that inactive link...I actually saw that so maybe I will get an honorable mention. Just kidding to the victor goes the spoils. Michael 2 Ted 1



Oh, thanks for fixing the Laura Leu link (Say that 5 times in a row)...It's not often someone will post a pic of themselves squatting between two cars. Priceless!



Ok, this is proof that if my wordplay career fails, I can make it in the music industry:

I watched the last two Red Eye episodes last night (Devo Guy and Dee Snyder). If you did any of the writing in those...they were really funny.


My quest for a Nintendo WII ended this morning. I got up at 5:00am (that sucked) and got to the Best Buy at 6:45am (the store didn't open until 10:00am. It was a like a mad house down there. Santa's little helper froze his ass off but I was able to create a few gems in the process...enjoy:



Alison Rosen, If insightful commentary was Viagra, she would arouse me for up to 4 hours…anything longer would require medical attention….my doctor is on standby!



If hilarity was a cement truck, he’d be pumped until his load hardened.



or Mike Baker, if brains were a cement truck, I’d pump his load until it was hard.



or Mike Baker, if brains were a cement truck, I'd pump his load...hard.



Greg Gutfeld, If comedy was a Foley catheter, He’d be painful at first and then provide much needed relief.



If hotness was a bag of M&Ms;, she would melt in my hands and not in my mouth…yes, I’m that good people!



Shira Lazar, If sexiness and insightful commentary was Homey D. Clown…Homey would play that!



If Red Eye was an anachronism, then Greg Gutfeld would be invited to the 2008 Emmy Awards. (This one makes sense to me! LOL)



Rebecca Gomez, If hotness was earwax, I would insert my tip until she came with me.



If brains were everlasting gobstoppers, I’d suck her forever. Yes, she’s that smart!



Bill Schulz, If coolness was a xylophone, he’d have rainbow colored keys and play twinkle twinkle little star. Yes, he’s that cool!



If brains were a new puppy, I'd give her a large bone and when I was finished, pat her on the head and say "good dog."

I can't believe that you get up at 6:45am...that sounds like torture to me...at least at this point in my life. I always hated getting up early. Getting up around 9:00am is just fine with me.


Sounds like a slow weekend in the Big Apple. Who actually gives Nerd Clearance?



The only excitement here is my son's CIF playoff game tonight. I would have gone but it is raining like crazy.



Hopefully Big Bear will have some snow. :)

Damn it Michael! That was the best one yet! I'm a competitive but I don't think I can out do that one! The fun will be in trying though!


Oh, I forgot to put that I'm just glad that reporter couldn't catch me! :)

Ted's post game wrap:


1. That girl who was afraid of New York was lame.



2. The Internet story was hilarious. I liked seeing that fat reporter run.



3. I've switched to Jodi Applegate's Blog Page... J/K



4. You were impressive as always! Stunning hair! Good job Alison!

OMG, your posts are like crazy insane sometimes! They are like a synthetic opiate increasing the dopamine levels to my cerebral receptors and resulting in euphoria!


I have no clue what Gossip Girl is and never heard of someone pretending their bruise was a tattoo.



This just re-enforces my belief that if you were a cartoon character, you would be Lizzy from Meet the Robinsons...



You can see her at the end of this clip:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY_E5x61-68



If you can't tell, I'm in a good mood! :)

Michael, I read your post just before going out tonight and kinda converted what you said into Ted Terms... Basically I used an analogy that I understood better. So I acted a bit more like Sherman Klump and a bit less like Buddy Love.


The Roof...The Roof...The Roof is on Fire...

Hey Michael,


Happy birthday! I'm in the same ball park for age...Seems like just yesterday I was rocking to the hair bands of the 80s and now 40 is around the corner. Oh, you are funny by the way...I liked the Haley's Comet joke the other day.



I'm hoping Alison will post her segment from the Biography channel episode. I have like three hundred channels but not that one. Argh!

Michael,


I don't recall actually seeing Amy Lee before but I'm sure she is better looking than Louis Griffin. I will compare noses and get back with you. I will also check out Anywhere but Home...Thanks!



Well time to work...Look forward to seeing you on Red Eye tonight Miss Booya!



Question: Whatever happened to that girl named Rachel (I think) that sat next to Bill...Who was she and did they fire her?

I've never heard of the guy...but I applied Six degrees of Kevin Bacon and everything was put into perspective:


Bacon, kevin appeared in Destination Anywhere which starred Sciorra, Annabella who appeared in Highball which was directed by Baumbach, Noah



I could add Jennifer Jason Leigh and Phoebe Cates into the equation but that would bring up to many fond memories from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. :)

What a total FAG! Mail this evil idiot all your used cat litter, here:

"No one should have to lap water from their hand." Why not? I don't use throw away cups, I don't have to wash a glass every few days, and it gets the job done.

Additionally, using your hands undoubtably uses less water than this toothbrush does - just look at all that water going down the drain. In the long run, this is probably worse for the environment.
