"The Life of Riley, Silly Pirates, and don't blame Lindsay"







OK, here we go kids...(A rather short version of TSP today) Game show fans are in mourning today due to the death of Charles Nelson Riley. Riley wore the big Harry Carey glasses as he made his way from Password to $25,000 Pyramid. Things were not always rosey for the guy. He was a homosexual that only used game shows as a way to make a living. 1970's television wasn't ready for gays. While he waited, Charles Nelson Riley was labeled as a "Game show goof". A little known fact: Riley sat next to Steve McQueen in college. Go get 'em Chuckie!
What's up with the whole pirate thing? I thought Oceans 13 was pushing it to the limit. Let's face facts...Disney could make a movie about a guy making a doodie and it would be a sell out. When the first "Pirates" movie came out, I read that there would be six films. I pray that what I read is only a rumor. I hate to tell Disney that I have enough fun with the "Pirates" ride at Disney World.
Lindsay Lohan...what can I say? God bless this 20 year old who just got out of rehab again only to get stopped after a traffic accident. The young Lohan was legally drunk and also had cocaine in the car. Aww c'mon, let's give her one more chance before the only way she can earn a living is with her bra and panties still on.
