Saturday: What Would I Do Without Fallon?



I think I might have to start watching the Tonight show.  Everything Fallon does seems to be first-class, even the frickin' hip-hop he has here, a genre to which I devote zero time and/or interest.  I have no ideer who this Emma Stone person is... she's cute enough, and talented... but she's in desperate need of more than a few cheeseburgers.  None the less... this is good stuff.

And there's this...



Ooooh!  Döner kebab!  I haven't had one of those in freakin' YEARS.  I dunno about you, Gentle Reader, but I always used to end up at Denny's (for breakfast!) during my bar-closing days in the USofA.  Other après-bar places varied, depending on what country I was in, but when I was in Nippon an after hours sushi bar was always the ticket.

  1. I think it's fair to say that most Hollyweird actresses these day are in desperate need of more than a few cheeseburgers - in fact they need the whole cow. That said - I wish I could stay up that late cuz I loves me some Jimmy Fallon.

      She has no more control over her body than Roseanne Barr (or you), only in her case she can't fix it by removing half of her stomach. Women however, must have good looking legs, or else wear f**cking pants :-) My mother who weighed 95 pounds to my 250, had the gift of good looking legs, even into her 60's. Then she wore pants when the nylons no longer fit right (granny legs).

    3. @Life: I think the woman DOES have some control over her body. She looks unhealthy to me... cute, but unhealthy.

      Agreed on the pants thing.

  2. Appropo of closing-hour breakfasts, you know what the definition of what a ravanous drunk orders for breakfast don't you? Ans: Everything on the menue. :)

    (College students are especially natorious. Late one spring night/early am circa '65/'66 at a local off-campus eatery I saw a doughnut fall unoticed off the tray of an order the waitress was bringing to a table whereupon she accidently also stepped on it. No sooner had she done so an alert hungry drunk sitting at the counter lept off his stool, scraped it off the floor and scarfed it down all in one fell motion, LOL!

  3. PS: You gonna drag you're arse off the verandah in time to watch the Derby, Buck? (I've got this plug-in app called "Rabbit TV" for the 'puter that lets one stream local TV stations nation-wide, so we've been watching the feed from the local Louisville stations.) This week is my birthday week, hit the big Seven O on the 6th. Only problem is that I have a Drs appointment that day--have to have the dressings and stitches removed from some skin grafts done on my nose due to some cancer surgery last week--too many hours under the sun on the tennis courts for some 35 yrs, w. no sun-screen, lol (nobody used it in those days if one was involved in sports, the stuff they had back then ran like crazy and was totally distracting.) As they say, all's well that ends well--as long as after I heal I'm returned to my stunningly handsome former self. ;)

    1. Dang, Virgil! Happy birthday and I'm glad the skin cancer surgery went well. Skin cancer is very scary stuff... be sure you follow your doctor's instructions! Apropos o' sunscreen in the wayback... zinc oxide. All the lifeguards in SoCal and most of the surfers (including me) dosed our noses liberally with the stuff. I used it all the time after my first bad sunburn on my nose.

  4. Fallon has refreshed the Tonight Show, even though I miss Leno. It's more like when Johnny Carson had it -- more entertainment than shameless plugs for movies/music/tv. Although, there are definitely shameless plugs -- even by denizens of the White House.

    1. Interesting point, about Carson. I used to watch Carson when I could back in the day, meaning if I (a) was in the US or (b) when I wasn't working a night shift. That was during the early years; I watched almost every night after I retired from the AF. I hardly ever watched Leno and have yet to see Fallon, which was why I said what I said. But if you think "Tonight" is more Carson-esque, then I'll give it a go.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
