DEBITS FIELD

The Phantom made a trip out to Citi Field, new home for the Mets. I know the the new name, naming right by Citibank, sticks in the Phantom's throat.

Phantom, what about Debits Field?

COCKSHOTTS

A recent study was done on out how surnames in Great Britain have changed from 1881 until now.

The top five names, Smith, Jones, Williams, Brown, Taylor and Davies, have not changed in 127 years, and have not changed in order.

But I'm saddened to report some names have all but disappeared.

• The name Cock has been clipped from 3,211 in 1881 to 785 today.
• Balls shriveled from 2,904 to 1,299.
• Deaths were killed from 1,133 to 60.
• People named Smellie decreased by 70 percent.
• Dafts by 51 percent.
• Gotobeds by 42 percent.
• Shufflebottoms by 40 percent.
• And sadly, Cockshotts by 34 percent.

I wonder if there are more Cocks or Cockshotts in England?

#1 RATED IMIX

I found out tonight that my Songs For the Soul imix is the #1 rated imix on itunes. I have no idea how long this will last but the mix features some of my favorite musicians, including my good friend Jeffrey Dean Foster, and me.

A MUSICAL INTERLUDE

THE THREE STOOGES

Sean Penn as Larry of The Three Stooges!? Jim Carey as Curly? Benicio Del Toro (and not Johnny Depp) as Moe!?

Yep.

This is one movie I HAVE to see!

MAGGIE DID WHAT!?

Overheard in Starbucks today:

High School Girl #1: Maggie fucked Ben.
High School Girl #2: She did?
High School Girl #1: Yeah, disgusting. Maggie lost her virginity to Ben.

I wonder if Ben and Maggie know their sex lives are being discussed at loud volumes in public places and then blogged about by douchebag bloggers?

POLE DANCERS WANTED

I never thought I'd ever write these words but here goes:

The Foxy Lady strip club in Providence will hold a job fair this Saturday.

They're looking to fill around 30 positions, from strippers and waitresses to disc jockeys and bartenders, at that club and two others in Massachusetts.

And there's an article in today's New York Times entitled:

More Women Needing Cash Go From Jobless to Topless.

And you thought this site wasn't helpful.

MAYBE THIS TIME

Here's Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles, performing Maybe This Time, during the 1998 Broadway Revival of Cabaret.

She was incredibly talented. She'll be missed.

RIP
