You know, I was never a fan of Hell's kitchen or Gordon till I saw an Episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Then I realised that it's not some overblown act, he really is that big of an a$$hole, and surprisingly I respect that. That's his standard MO. I admire a guy who says "You know what I'm a Colossal Douche, and instead of reigning it in for PR's sake, I'm going to embrase it and make it my brand.

And last night's episode was hysterical. I'm still laughing about him firing the chicken accross the kitchen.

Her house is near Harpers Ferry, WV... scene of a few Civil War Battles. Have seen one prowler in the garage. He's not a happy fellow. Might have been he couldn't find the tool he needed. He throws things inside the house. Never was a believer in ghosts until I ran across Mr. Butternut... Thinking he's the reason behind the music as well... 'cause when you try to follow it... it just moves further away... don't know where it will lure its victim and I don't ever want to find out.

Here's a copy of a post I made on the episode 2 board, which really should have been here about things to keep in mind when watching Hell's Kitchen.





(1) All the things WAJ feels about TC are true about H/K; it is for entertainment only. There is no real contest until the final episode.

(2) Essentially, it is a long, drawn-out, televised job interview for someone to run a restaurant. Ramsey already knows up front who his top two or three candidates are, and the rest are fodder to be eliminated in no particular order.

(3) Ramsey has cheftestants do the nominating as a way to evaluate the management skills and thinking processes of the nominator. For instance, last night he learned that Louross is not above trying to manipulate him. By nominating Dominic, (who threw away most of those scallops because the risotto was bad, not because they were cooked badly), instead of Jason, (who goes for a cigarette at the start of service and messes up the risotto more than once), was an attempt to get Ramsey to throw out Bobby, a major threat to Louross. Instead, Ramsey throws out the chef he knows has no chance of making it to the end, so the manipulation didn't work. Frankly, if Ramsey thinks both nominations are a manipulation, he'll toss them aside and choose who to throw out on his own.

(4) Behind all the yelling and berating, Ramsey is really trying to help all the chefs. If they listen between the curses, he is giving them hints to become better. And, while he will hold them accountable for things they should know, he will give them a chance to develop new skills, even if he knows they won't make it to the end. Last year helped Julia, a Waffle House cook, to grow into a competent, mature person even though from the start it was obvious that she didn't have all the skills yet to run a high end restaurant. She made it all the way to the final 4 because she was able to keep learning new things, and when Ramsey was finally forced to let her go, he did it by giving her a scholarship to a culinary school.

(5) Everything about this show is about ratings, at least until the final episode. The production staff is not above cutting and pasting things any way they want to in order to create 'drama'. Clips will be shown out of order, timelines are impossible to follow, and an interview can be cut to make it seem like it was about a completely different topic.

Now that's entertainment!

I'm just fine, you good looking man. Sorry I haven't had time to write. I owe you a real letter so, you know, expect it in the next day, or so.

Went to opening day at Nationals Park. Dubya was there, and he seemed to be perplexed that people, you know..um..Booed. A lot. That was fun. What wasn't fun was getting into a ballpark where the president is. It made me happy that my ipod was loaded with gay artists and Lewis Black. It was worth it for the looks on the security people's faces.

The park is beautiful, the food was great and Ryan Zimmerman hit a game winning homer in the bottom of the 9th. What was not to like? I think this season is going to be a lot of fun, and we have season tickets, so we'll be there.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!

I find the best time to play them is on quiet, rainy days when I have do desire to go out and do anything. I put them, get a nice drink, grab a book, and enjoy! You've got to make time to do the things you enjoy, or time will slip away.

Here's what I would listen to on a day as you describe ....Because there is no other for me if I had to choose.

I love all music....... but baby he's the one.

He is my soul mate musically....He and Bernie's lyrics......And I love the comparison of the two videos 'cause.... as he has aged... he has gotten better in some ways..more resonance....But I still love his young
and beautiful voice the best.

Only old - young Elton or old - old please.

Thank you all for the well wishes on the role...

Funny thing is I got a call from payroll today and their one concern was my Driver Licenses was expired and I had no idea it was.... I still think it is 2007. Funny how a devistated town can do that...lol

Needless to say I'm going to renew my license in the morning... especialy if it effects me not getting my paycheck on time.... lol

That reminds me of the shock that I got when I saw one of my fave Star Trek actors, Marc Alaimo, in long hair and a beard for, I think, Shakespeare's "King Lear". Now I will have to imagine you with your hair wavy and loose for that role. I'll bet your girlfriend can't wait for you to shave! It's funny to watch men with long beards eat! Not so funny if you have to share his goblet like the ladies of yore. laugh.gif

Only men without chins need beards, and now there is botox? I am jealous of actors who get to botox their lips. I might be tempted myself so maybe the gay mid-life crisis starts at 31? But it's a slippery slope because next I'd be wanting botox on my knobby knees LOL! But I will never do anything artificial as long as I have my hair! Besides, what if that stuff slips and makes a bump somewhere it shouldn't?! Ack! ohmy.gif

Anyway all my fave Star Trek actors, Rene Auberjonois, Andrew Robinson, Colm Meaney, Marc Alaimo, are about your age and they still have got "it". But everyone has "it" for the people who love them. Like I heard growing up, there's a "lid for every pot". LOL! I am well lidded, so don't mind me calling you fine on the internet, like I call Justme a sexy verbalist.. I'm just a fan! tongue.gif

On his still life . . . shadow dust

It must have been a parent there

They cling on his soul as a rose to the wall

For they loved the dear of him
and tended his garden

Of that it has become clear

And he dances on cruel words

Soft steps of wonder

He gently reminds me that

I need not worry

As he is Psh. . .real before our eyes

Through bramble and dark. . there is a light


Had to space it this way for some reason..Oy

With the heartbreak open
So much you can't hide
Put on a little makeup makeup
Make sure they get your good side good side

If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
Write it on a pound note pound note

Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Subtle innuends follow
There must be something inside he's hiding

We don't follow fashion
That would be a joke
You know we're going to set them set them
So everyone can take note take note

When they saw you kneeling
Crying words that you mean
Opening their eyeballs eyeballs
Pretending that you're al green al green

No one's gonna tell me
What's wrong or what's right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Or that i've won the big fight big fight

Look out or they'll tell you
You're a "superstar"
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far

If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
Write it on a pound note pound note

Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink... etc.

Since Richard Roeper being in the challenge this week brought to mind Roger Ebert and how we all wish him well and a return to his show, if possible, I found the column Roger Ebert wrote when Gene Siskel died. Thought everyone would enjoy it.


Chicago Sun-Times
February 21, 1999

Farewell, my friend
BY ROGER EBERT SUN-TIMES FILM CRITIC


For the first five years that we knew each other, Gene Siskel and I
hardly spoke. Then it seemed like we never stopped. We began as
film critics for the two morning papers in Chicago, both still in our
20s and eager to establish ourselves--preferably at each other's
expense. When we were asked to work together on a TV show,
we both said we'd rather do it with someone else. Anyone else.


At first the relationship on TV was edgy and uncomfortable. Our
newspaper rivalry was always in the air between us. Gene liked to
tell about the time he was taking a nap under a conference table at
the television station, overheard a telephone conversation I was
having with an editor, and scooped me on the story. I got scooped
more than once; it really hurt in 1997 when he sat down to talk
about the movies with President Clinton.


He considered himself a reporter as well as a critic, and he was
one of the best I ever knew. It was typical of Gene that when he
got interested in the Bulls, it wasn't just as a fan, but as an
expert; he knew as much about the Bulls as most of the sportswriters
who covered them. It was consistent with his reporter's orientation
that some of his favorite films were documentaries such as ``Hoop
Dreams.''


After his surgery last May, his first public appearance was at a
Bulls game. It was important to him that he be there. And it was
typical of Gene's determination that he returned to the job as soon
as he could. Two weeks after his surgery, he was watching
movies on tape in his hospital room and phoning in his reviews to
``Siskel & Ebert.'' Soon he was back in the show's balcony, and
in print at the Tribune and TV Guide, and on the air at CBS.


Someone else might have taken a leave of absence then and there
but Gene worked as long as he could. Being a film critic was
important to him. He liked to refer to his job as ``the national
dream beat,'' and say that in reviewing movies he was covering
what people hoped for.


Because the movies could do such a powerful job of reaching into
the minds and emotions of audiences, he took it personally when
they disappointed him--when they were lazy and stupid. He told
me about a proud moment as a father: He asked one of his
daughters how she'd liked a movie and she told him that, well, she
didn't. ``Some kids think they're supposed to be polite and just
say they liked a film,'' he said, ``but I've always told my children
it's important to make up your own mind.''


He was ferociously honest in his opinions. He didn't care about
seeming fashionable. When he picked ``Babe: Pig in the City'' as
the best movie of 1998, some people thought it was a strange
choice. I didn't. The movie was on my top 10 list too, and I knew
why Gene admired it: It was original, it was trying to do something
new, it had been overlooked in the flood of more mainstream
product, and it had something worthwhile to say. It stood for what
he stood for.


When Gene saw a movie he really admired, he almost glowed.
Toward the end of the screening of ``Fargo,'' he walked over to
me in the dark and whispered, ``This is why I go to the movies.''
When he saw a movie he hated, he liked to suggest that
filmmakers ask themselves this question: ``Is my film more
interesting than a documentary of the same actors having lunch
together?''


Gene kept private about the state of his health in the months after
his surgery. I understood why. He wanted to protect his family
from the attention that might result. He wanted the focus to
remain on his film criticism. And although it was obvious
sometimes that he walked slowly and was in pain, I never once
heard him complain. He carried on with a bravery that is hard to
imagine.


We did the TV show together for 24 years. It was a strange
format: two ordinary-looking guys from Chicago, sitting in a
balcony talking about the movies. One question we were asked,
again and again, was: ``Do you really hate each other?'' There
were days at the beginning of our relationship when the honest
answer sometimes was ``yes.'' It was unnatural for two men to be
rivals six days of the week and sit down together on the seventh.
But over the years respect grew between us, and it deepened into
friendship and love.

Since Richard Roeper being in the challenge this week brought to mind Roger Ebert and how we all wish him well and a return to his show, if possible, I found the column Roger Ebert wrote when Gene Siskel died. Thought everyone would enjoy it.


Chicago Sun-Times
February 21, 1999

Farewell, my friend
BY ROGER EBERT SUN-TIMES FILM CRITIC


For the first five years that we knew each other, Gene Siskel and I
hardly spoke. Then it seemed like we never stopped. We began as
film critics for the two morning papers in Chicago, both still in our
20s and eager to establish ourselves--preferably at each other's
expense. When we were asked to work together on a TV show,
we both said we'd rather do it with someone else. Anyone else.


At first the relationship on TV was edgy and uncomfortable. Our
newspaper rivalry was always in the air between us. Gene liked to
tell about the time he was taking a nap under a conference table at
the television station, overheard a telephone conversation I was
having with an editor, and scooped me on the story. I got scooped
more than once; it really hurt in 1997 when he sat down to talk
about the movies with President Clinton.


He considered himself a reporter as well as a critic, and he was
one of the best I ever knew. It was typical of Gene that when he
got interested in the Bulls, it wasn't just as a fan, but as an
expert; he knew as much about the Bulls as most of the sportswriters
who covered them. It was consistent with his reporter's orientation

I've always loved Roger Ebert, though I've disagreed with him as much as I agreed. To this very day I still carry around his two books on the "Greatest Movies". His taste and knowledge are, for the most part, impeccable, and I check his column out weekly. He's the only critic I really listen to, and, as a fellow disciple of Pauline Kael, I can see where he's coming from.

And I let the fact that he wrote "Beyond the Valey of the Dolls", for Russ Meyer, slide. It was a Russ Meyer film, fercryinoutloud, and it was what it needed to be.

Well, baseball season has started and my StL Cardinals are 1-1 so far. Todays game starts in about 30 min and I can't listen because my radio won't pick it up in the building. I forgot to bring my new HD radio in to see if that would work.

Bear, I have free tickets to tomorrow nights game against the Nats. My sister & I will be on the first base side in case you are watching. We'll wave at ya! (lol-like you'll be able to see us!).

The Nationals are 3-0. Their pitching has been good, the defence excellent, and they score runs when they need to. It's only three games. and the Indians used to do that every year, just to finish 10 games below .500, but I'm feeling good about what I'm seeing.

Well, it is 3-0/St.Louis in the top of the 6th and it has just started raining buckets! LOL!!!!! My brother is probably getting soaked to the skin as we speak! It has been raining here so much lately that I'm surprised they have even started the season! The newbies we have on the team are doing pretty well/the kids can hit! But unfortunately, they can't pitch! This isn't considered to be the best year for the Birds on the Bat. But they didn't think we would win in '06 either. Starting to sound like a Cubs fan, aren't I? laugh.gif

The Nats finally lost their game with the Phillies today, but I listened to it, and they were not the pathetic Nationals of days gone by, so I'm happy with their 3-1 record. They command attention.

I can't wait till they get home, and I can have a chili dog from Ben's Chili Bowl, while I sit by my guys. I may have already said it, but this season is gong to be a lot of fun. A beautiful, comfy park is going to add a lot to a rapidly improving club.

I was actually speaking of the records and CDs and such. There are such a minor thing to me now, especially when you're raising a child.

And, you know, I want him to have the advantage of being able to handle and experiance the thrills of a record collection. What's the monetary value when you compare it to that? That's something his peers won't have, and I want it to be fun for him.

And we don't have to ask him to change the music.. he does that already.
Have heard classical, country, bubble gum pop, '70's... he may be scary but he does have a sense of humor...
