Two things today (which due to technical difficulties is actually yesterday)

These lame haircuts can be seen on the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana"
Last night I discovered "Hannah Montana". Ok, first let me clarify. I was in the company of my wife and two other people, so please don't take this the wrong way. And I know I’m so I'm like 2 years late, but I'm thinking that's an ok thing at this point; unless I had a kid, a 27 year old knowing the details about a Disney TV show is a little weird. Then again if it's "Even Stevens" or "Boy Meets World" that’s a whole new argument....but I didn't just divulge that I've watched Disney channel for extended periods of time because I like those shows, right?.....right? So Hannah Montana stars Billy Ray Cyrus...yes BILLY RAY CYRUS, and his daughter, "something" Cyrus. I was too captivated by the Billy Ray part to catch her name. She sings and performs as a music star on the show and her dad writes the songs, or at least that was the point of the episode we watched. This all came up because we were hanging at some friends (hi Jenn) and the NFL game was over. (yes, somehow we managed a Giants/Ravens to Hannah Montana transition) I don't know what else to say, other than I'd seen pictures of this girl on advertisements and didn't realize that she wasn't blonde in real life...that's her "stage hair". I’ve officially had my fill of Hannah Montana for a lifetime. The Mrs was staring at me yesterday when I discovered this: Jason Earles who plays Cyrus’ son…turns out to be 29 years old. He must suffer from the same disease as Andy Milonakis. The only complaint (aside from this show not being half as good as the above mentioned Disney shows): the boys all had bad hair. I'm so glad that I graduated when I did. The eighties were horrifying with the big hair and porn ‘staches. The nineties and early “otts” were safe…but apparently, we’re under a new attack of uncut, bad, oily hair. (maybe I’m just jealous…I’ll give you that…but even when I did have hair, I didn’t do anything crazy with it)
The last bit is exactly the pick me up that I needed: (straight from the Legal Clerk who took the phone call)
“A woman calls in on behalf of her brother, who had just been stabbed at a Dunkin Donuts. Apparently her brother received his coffee but it was too cold so he asked for another one. A DD employee decided that instead of giving him a coffee he'd give him a good stab in the stomach. Of course their first thought was, gee, can we sue DD for this?”
I don't have anything to say. I feel bad for the guy, but it's just a funny story.
