Putting a Stop to Bothersome and Solicitous Calls or Junk Mail

(Sorry about the mix-up, here’s the link for the
Fight Quest and The Human Weapon story here).

 

 

So I got a weird call from my sister yesterday. Seems somebody called her out of the blue and started badgering her about a neighbor. To be more precise, the neighbor’s delinquent bill payment schedule. Well, rightly so, my sister wanted to know a) why the hell had she been called and b) how the hell did she even get her phone number. They didn’t answer the first question, but they did say they got the number using a “neighbor search.” I told her that’s very possible. I told her yeah, when you do a search on some of those sites they’ll show you the surrounding places of business or people in the area. I said what probably happened is they just picked 10-20 close by neighbors of the TARGET person and started calling them.

I’m About 72 Years Late, but Here is My Review of My Man Godfrey

So what if I watched a movie made in 1936! It’s my normal viewing material, but you know what they say; good is good. Now, my sister really likes these original “screwball comedy” old timey flicks. Me? Case by case basis. But I DO like William Powell in pretty much everything he ever did, and for me this “film review” is much more about Powell anyway.

“Would you believe…?” Bush as Maxwell Smart

The other day I made this Deadpool/Steve-O comparison and I also recently had this funny picture of Bush with a kid giving him a dubious glance, but last night while I was watching one of my favorite shows, Get Smart, it got me to thinking. And I thought, “Well, they do look a little alike, but they REALLY act alike.” Over the years I’ve seen Bush make faces that reminded me of Tommy Smothers, Alfred E. Newman or even a well dress chimp, but when it comes to behavior and spot-on supporting characters he’s Maxwell Smart all the way.

Cross Country Move: Checking an Apartment for an Out of Town Friend

Ok, so, the good deed for the day was going across town to investigate an apartment. The friend in question is a woman, and wants to move back to Chicago. Presumably she wants to do a “Welcome Back” blog like me right? Well I don’t know what she’s got in mind, but I do know it’s hard to move to a different city without some DEPENDABLE friends in the target town. So I decided to my bit. See photos below.

Vote for Steve-O to Play Deadpool

No. A movie has not been announced. But I’ve been thinking about this. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now actually. It probably isn’t healthy thinking, but it’s what I do. And the idea of a Deadpool movie is a bit of a stretch, BUT given all the super hero movies on their way to getting made he COULD be somebody a main character run into in one of their movies. So the next logical question is; who plays Deadpool? And for me the answer is obvious. Steve-O.
