Hand Me That Hammer, Will You, Princess?

I noticed a new headline today having to do with the infamous incest slavery case going on in Austria: "Fritzl kept sex slave daughter chained up with a dog lead in the dungeon that SHE helped to build." Talk about adding insult to injury. Thankfully my uncle and I never finished building that tree fort when I was 9. God knows what could have happened.

Naturally this also reminded me of something from YouTube, in this case Barats and Bereta in "So Smooth." Key line: "I'm so deck, my father should hire me in the summer of 1993 for $5 an hour to build myself." The Slugworth reference was also pretty fine.

Today Was a Good Day

And Eliot Spitzer fell, in a way I couldn't possibly have imagined. I would prefer if had been taken to account for his evil ways as attorney general of New York, but I'll take what I can get.

Many moons ago, my friends and I filmed a parody of the opening scene from The Godfather, with a Spitzer character as the Don. Little did we know it would eventually pay off so well. It starred Mr. O and was filmed and edited brilliantly by Mr. S. Since I love fancy-pants Hollywood titles, I'll even say that I was, in effect "co-producer." Hooray for me.

Watch it and love it:
