GrimaceGate
I got some good pictures of the clowns from Jenn Hufton. Due to some minor technical difficulties, they won't be up till tomorrow.
I know I just answered some mail the other day, but it looks like it might be that time again...
Brian,
For your next blog entry, it is my wish that you devise a ficitious dialogue that could possibly go along with the picture you included today of Grimace, Cedric the Entertainer, and the Hamburglar. Use your best witty remarks, as I am not easily humored.
Jack's famous relative,
Back Shoulders

Back Shoulders,
I'll try my best...
Cedric the Entertainer: Hey little man, that's a nice cape. You got a name?
Hamburglar: I'm the Hamburglar and this is my associate, Grimace.
CTE: Grimace?! What kinda name is that? Grimace is what I do when I accidentally drop my microphone on my foot!
Grimace: Yes, it's a rather odd name, but I embrace it for its quirkiness.
CTE: You gotta change your name! Get yourself a stage name like me, Cedric the Entertainer!
Grimace: What would you suggest for a new name?
CTE: My name is Cedric the Entertainer, because my name is Cedric and I am under the impression that I entertain people!
Hamburglar: Yes, and my name is Hamburglar because I burgle hamburgers.
CTE: Grimace, what do you do for a living?
Grimace: I help McDonald's to sell hamburgers after hours. By day, I'm a claims adjuster for an underwriting subsidiary of Alleghany Insurance Holdings LLC.
CTE: Then you should be Big Purple the Stubby Arm Guy!
Grimace: But that goes against your entire stage name formula, I should be Grimace the Claims Adjuster.
CTE: Stubby Arms! Ha ha! I am very entertaining!
I'd be embarrassed to call that "my best", but it will have to do for now. Sorry if I have failed to amuse you.

In case you haven't heard yet, the Watergate informant known as Deep Throat revealed himself yesterday as W. Mark Felt, former FBI official. Am I the only one who didn't know that Pat Buchanan and Diane Sawyer were also suspected of being the famous anonymous source? And that Bob Dole lived in the Watergate apartments at the time? This really is/was a juicy scandal. In fact, it's not quite over yet, as G. Gordon Liddy -- one of the bosses of the "plumbers" -- insists that this is a distraction to hide the identity of the real informant. Unfortunately, even when everything is solved, I don't think it will stop people from insisting that any scandal gets the word "Gate" tagged on the end for good measure, which never really made sense to me. If it turns out that W. Mark Felt is not the real Deep Throat, get ready for WatergateGate.
But before that happens, you can check out Cheese Chase 2005. I'll assume they're chasing a wheel, not individually wrapped slices.
