Jenny, I Got Your Number For $25 Grand


Five grand was the winning eBay bid for 867-5309, Jenny's phone number from Tommy Tutone's 1982 hit.

That was for the Philly area code. The Jersey version went for $25,000 on eBay in February.





We're guessing the combined $30,000 is more than Tommy Tutone has earned in the last decade.

Since there's no point in trying to change a person's sexual orientation now we can all move on



An authoritative medical body has now declared its nonsense to try to change a gay person's sexual orientation.




So all those people that just thought gay people suffered from some sort of personality disorder or sickness can just realize the error of their ways and accept homosexuals and lesbians for who they are.

That should be no problem, right? What else could be the hangup?

Path of Leash Resistance

The Kid Leash has some appeal, we guess -- it's unlikely for Junior to get abducted while he's tethered to your belt.

But if you're the type who needs to tie up your kids to get them under control, maybe you should have thought harder about the whole "having children" thing in the first place.

And if you insist on dragging your toddler through the Verizon store by a strap, better make sure no one has video capabilities on their cell phone.

Going Postal

Tough times at America's post offices: What with the digital bill-paying and the e-mail, the USPS is looking at a $7 billion loss this year. They might even have to shut down a few post offices.

Some of the things we'll miss about the post office:

* The can-do! attitude of the morbidly obese zombies working behind the counter
* The weekly $.02 price hike for stamps
* The line of humanity snaking out the front door
* The great selection of stamps, featuring "Flags blowing in the wind" and "Holiday Nutcrackers 5-pack"
* The smell
* The edgy drifter hanging out by the packing tape
* The threat of a postal working going ... well, postal

Did Ryan O'Neal really need to reveal he hit on his daughter at Farrah's funeral? Probably not.

In the September issue of Vanity Fair Ryan O'Neal explains that he mistakenly hit on daughter Tatum at Farrah Fawcett's funeral.



Making that admission seems egregious, even for Ryan O'Neal. Tough to see what the upside is here.

Out with it


"I hate to say it but..."

No you don't, in fact you're downright giddy over what's coming next - so why the not-at-all-coy euphemism?

Next you're going to tell us you're not the type of guy to say "I told you so."

One Snuggie To Rule Them All

People love their dogs. People love their Snuggies.

And dogs love nothing more than the feeling of being confined in a fleece straight jacket.

When you think about it, the whole thing was inevitable.
