Leave Britney Alone Guy’s “Father”

From Jimmy Kimmel, who is actually pretty funny. I just never noticed.
Dad wakes up at 3am to get Jonas Brothers tickets
I don’t know how I feel about this. On the one hand, I guess its a nice thing for dad to do — get up at an ungodly hour so that his kid could get good seats to a Jonas Brothers concert. Specifically, he first got up at 3am to drive to ANOTHER STATE to get the tickets, then didn’t get them, then managed to score some online. He also was “willing” to sit in the nosebleed seats so his spawn and her friend could scream like maniacs fans in the third row.
When I was in high school, I went to a couple of concerts. If I recall correctly, my first concert was a Grateful Dead show at Giants Stadium. The kid described here is 15, I think I was 16. My mother definitely did NOT drive me someplace to get tickets. There was no internet ticketing (this was, you know, the pleistocene era) and I didn’t have a credit card, so I guess we got the tickets at a record store or something. (Kids, record stores were these places where people went to buy music. Records? Those were… oh, never mind.)
I do remember getting tickets for the first reunion tour of The Who. We got up early, went to a local record store, waited on line (that’s “on line” not “online”) and bought the tickets using cash. (Kids, cash is this filthy currency thing that people still use today. Really.) At this point I was 17 or 18, and someone had a car, but if that wasn’t the case, we would have found a way to get there.
As for getting to the shows, for the Dead show we took the bus. Got home late. And you know what? It was fine. (I did put the apple juice in the cabinet with the plates and other dishes, but that’s a verrry different story.) Once someone was old enough to drive, we drove. But it was our job to figure it out.
So it’s nice of dad to do that, but really, why can’t kids do this stuff on their own?

Suzanne Sommers shows her hoochie
This is perhaps the least hot flashing of a va-jay-jay in history. What’s amazing is that she does it on television – on The Home Shopping Network! It wasn’t like some photog snapped her coming out of a limo. SHE DID IT HERSELF.
Video. Is. Here. Apologies. For. Posting. It. Must. Wash. Eyes….
Nicole Richie is a germophobe
Famecrawler says that Nicole Richie may be overly protective of her child picking up germs. I’ve known lots of parents like this, and they usually grow out of it. But let’s face it -what are the chances this kid grows up normal? No matter how mom feels about dirt, that can’t be a great environment to live in. That said, some people get their acts together when they become parents (Kevin -cough- Federline) so maybe Nicole will and John Madden’s son will figure it out. (note: I know it’s not John Madden’s son. I just don’t feel like looking up his real name.)
How upset should I be, Bill?
Forbes tells us that Bill Gates is no longer the richest guy in the world. Wah. Poor baby.
The reason? Microsoft trying to buy Yahoo! caused their stock to drop. Warren “why didn’t my parents buy your stock?” Buffet is now richer.
I do wonder if people who are this rich actually spend time thinking about things like this. Like, does he look at his stocks going down in value and think, “Oh shit, it’s all over. Better scan the want ads”? I kinda doubt it.
I will say that the few very wealthy people I know don’t throw cash around, at least not to just anyone. They may have nice things, maybe even REALLY nice things, but usually you can see how they managed to get rich in the first place — by being smarter than, say, me, about money.

Pathetically jonesing for fantasy football
When you see this headline:
Which “Bush” do you think of? The President, right?
Well, I thought of Reggie Bush, running back for the New Orleans Saints. Only when I clicked on the story did I realize they meant the Prez.
I need help.
