Nobody Sang “Tie Your Mother Down”

I guess maybe being on ABC, owned by Disney [Ed: Christine, you’re right, it’s Fox. They should have ALL sung this song.] kept “Tie Your Mother Down,” one of my favorite Queen songs, off Idol last night. God I love Queen. It was nice to have a whole bunch of good songs (no offense to Kenny Rogers, who no longer has anything in common with the MadTV version played by Will Sasso, my hero. Although it would have been pretty funny if he had.)

I’ve been watching this season more than any other, and up until last night I had never voted for anyone. I just leave it up to the rest of America. But Paris knocked my proverbial socks off (cause I was wearing flipflops at the time, yo) and I actually took the time to call and vote for her. 5 times. So Paris, honey, your talent just pushed me right over the edge. Amazing.

As a side note, when did Roger Taylor become an accountant? A white shirt and tie? What have they done to you!?

An Apology to Kenny, our Server from Chilis

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. I am such a schmuck. I didn’t notice until today that I didn’t leave the merchant copy of the charge slip when we ate there last week, and that means you didn’t get a tip. My God, man, you should have chased us out of the restaurant and caused a big scene! Well, no, that isn’t good either. But I realize that they can’t put the charge through for anything more than the bill, which means you didn’t get a tip. I’m really really sorry and I’ll be back some night this week to drop off cash for you, with an extra dollar just for your pain and suffering. Again, I’m sorry, and the next time you see us, please don’t spit in our food.

Yours,

Jody

Top Five WTF

Hey, I got hand-picked to kick off a new Top Five mini list. I’m still not sure why *I* was selected, but apparently my stuff works for the new moderator because one of my entries made the first list.

Now remember, this is a very surreal one. The topics don’t necessarily make any sense, so the list itself, well, I guess you’ll either be amused by it or not. Simple!

I still randomly make what we like to call “The Big List”.

See my oddball entry on the WTF list (yes, it means what you think it means) at http://www.littlefivers.com/wtf/

Hebert Candy Mansion Sold at Auction

Wow, this one kind of surprised me. The Hebert Candy Mansion was sold at auction yesterday after the the bank had to foreclose on the mortgage. I had noticed other Hebert locations closing/changing but that was just such an icon. If you go to their website it still says there are activities going on this weekend and next (they do a big business for Easter), but if someone foreclosed, doesn’t that mean they are out of there? The Hebert’s Confections people apparently just rent the space now from the property owners (who sold them the candy company but kept the property.)

The Hebert’s Confections people bid on the property but apparently didn’t win it, because I heard an abutter bought the property. I don’t know much more about it, other than that the whole thing was valued in the >$3 million range.

Still, very sad that another institution is now gone, unless the new guy’s intention is to continue letting them rent the space. That would be very cool of him.
