A sock?

Brother Ray could have played in the NBA!

My bad. I was actually thinking of the guy from St. Elsewhere, playing Jefferson IIRC. Unless my meds are still off.

According to Page Six in the NY Post, Bobby Darin used to wear a condom while performing on stage because he used to get so excited performing that he would frequently have an orgasm. I am looking for corroborating references on the 'net.

DARIN: "Some where beyond the Seaayaaahhhhhhh!"

Ruthe never gets around to even mentioning all of Michael Moores' lies.

Speaking of which, I heard that Moore entered F9/11 into the "Best Movie" category instead of "Best Documentary" - I rather like that, because it shows even he knew F9/11 was a work of fiction ;-)

heh heh heh,
Funny you should mention that. This is from the AP, today:

Michael Moore's gamble to hold his hit film "Fahrenheit 9/11" out of the documentary category -- to boost its best-picture prospects -- backfired. The movie was shut out across the board. Moore won the documentary prize two years ago for "Bowling for Columbine."
