I got a response from a friend regarding the post on 1/16/2009 where I gave a recipe for Old Kentucky Skirt Steaks.  Thanks for reading Kevin.  He said that I should start a cooking show.  I think that is an excellent idea and something I have actually thought about before.  The name of the show would be called, What’s Cookin’ Good Lookin’.  Here is how it would work.  It would be your standard Food Network type cooking show with a couple of very slight modifications.  The first one is of course that I would be the host.  I am a solid cook, with some good recipes and am very good in front of the camera if I do say so myself.  The setting of the show would be in a kitchen that is connected to a room with some couches, a TV and stereo.   There would also be episodes that take place in the back yard with the BBQ grill or smoker.  Nothing out of the ordinary, right?  This is where the Good Lookin’ part of the title comes in to play.  The second modification is that I would have some assistants.  These assistants would be two women (and I would obviously have about 5 or 6 that I would rotate in and out of every show) probably under the age of 27 and definitely under the age of 30 (no offense to you more mature ladies, I just need some girls who are better at taking orders) that wear very little outfits.  I mean very very little outfits.  We would have themes like tailgate BBQ where the girls would wear cheerleader outfits.  We could do a seafood theme where maybe one of the girls is in a bikini and we dress up the other like a mermaid and put her in a big tank of water in my kitchen.  Maybe a breakfast show where I cook the food, then get back in to bed and the girls can serve it to me in lingerie.  If you use your imagination here the possibilities are truly endless.  So if any of you out there have the means to produce a TV show or connections with the Food Network (or maybe the Playboy Channel), give me a call and we can make this happen.  This is a can’t miss, right? 

Again, if anyone has questions, comments or ideas for me; let me know.

  This is real quick but is there anything more demeaning or embarrassing than having to run to the bus?  I guess there are a lot of things worse, but I hate it.  Imagine it’s 8 in the morning, you’re walking to the bus stop, you see it roll up when you’re about a block away and you have to make a break for it.  If that’s not bad enough, there are two things that can make it even worse and one of these two things usually happens to me.  First, you don’t make it in time and as its riding away people are looking out the window laughing at you.  Second, you do get to it on time and are totally breathing hard and panting, and someone you know from work is right next to you witnessing what pathetic shape you’re in.  It was raining a few weeks ago and I had my umbrella up and had to run to the bus.  I got about 40 yards until I realized my hat fell out of my back pocket while I was running.  I had to run back to get my hat and then back to the bus.  I was so pissed.  Of course I didn’t make it.  I’m a grown man (sort of), I shouldn’t be running after a bus.  Why do we do it anyway?  Another one is usually coming in 5 or 10 minutes.

  Times are hard these days and I decided that one way to save a few dollars would be to get my hair cut at Supercuts rather than the place I normally go.  I have to be honest; it’s not like the commercials.  There are no hot, young women working there.  I am not going to go in to who was working there, but none of them were young, hot or any slight combination of both.  I suppose that’s to be expected, but since I was there I thought that I would give you a few observations that I had.  As I was waiting for my turn I took a look through the magazines and the only ones they had there for men was Flex Magazine. Kind of weird.   They had like seven issues of it on the table.  There was no Sports Illustrated or Rolling Stone; just a bunch of women’s magazine and a boat load of Flex Magazines.  I don’t know if you have been to Supercuts lately, but there aren’t too many customers there that look like they do a whole lot of flexing.  Anyway, the lady was fast and did a fine job.  There really isn’t a whole lot to my hair style.  She may have left it a little long in back.  I’ll have to investigate that when I get home.  She was a little rough.  I kind of felt like she was using my head as a punching bag at times and really dug the electric clippers in to my head.  It hurt a little bit.

If there is something that I don’t mind our new President lying or exaggerating about, it’s global warming.  Apparently there is some huge glacier that is about to break off of Antarctica and float in to the Ocean.  This is damn scary and I don’t even know if he has to exaggerate.  I just think he and the scientists who study this should make everything they say about it like a 100 times worse.  Maybe this will get people’s heads out of their asses and do a better job conserving energy.   Just a thought.

WHY I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO

There is a Jamba Juice across the street from my building that I go to for breakfast a few times a week.  Right in front of it is a bunch of benches and a little square where people sit.  In the morning there are always a group of bike messenger guys that hang out there waiting for jobs.  These are the guys like Puck from The Real World SF.  Anyway, they sit around openly smoking weed with no regard for all of the business people walking around, let alone the cops.  They are right next to a hugely busy intersection getting high as hell and then taking off on their bikes to deliver something when called upon. 

It’s just fantastic.  In what other city’s financial district can people do this freely in public with no harassment by the police? 

With that, I am out of here.  Remember to check my top 100 movie list countdown for rental ideas on lonely and lazy nights.
