With apologies for the late posting today. THE COUCH actually fell asleep on.....are you ready for this??? The couch last evening!As an addendum to Monday Matinee, we want to add a post script to the tale of "Hoping To Meet Quickly", the story of meeting the lawyer who married...It was now about 24 months later and THE COUCH was at his desk at work.
Phone rings and he answers. female voice. "Hi, how are you?" "Ummm, OK and you?"
She asks, "You don't know who this is do you?" "Actually, no clue."
"Well, I will give you a hit...you took me on a limo ride once."
Now, this, as a hint, was not going to cut it, "Ummm, you have to be more specfic then that." "You mean you took other women in limos?"
Beginning to get a bit annoyed at this game, "Well, I guess that is what it means, now who exactly is this?"
Then it comes out. She tells us her name and how she was so sorry at what happened, and how her girlfriend told her that she should have called off the wedding and given us a chance. Then she says it... yup, you guessed it...
"Well, you know, I filed for a divorce last week, and i am living in the city now. Would you like to come over this afternoon?"
THE COUCH has married at this point, but because of what happened with this woman - for a split second - the little brain says "Yeah go over, give her what she wants and then leave and tell her never to bother you again."
Big head prevails, "Sorry, I got married...have a good life..." click
Maybe SHE heard the crickets!
In September of 2002, Warren Hill was at a flea market in Manhattan. Hill, from Montreal was a collector and would buy vinyl records.He brought his buy home, and with a friend Eric Isaacson of Mississippi Records in Portland,
OR writes in the current issue of Goldmine Magazine, they came upon a find."We cued it up and were stunned — the first song was not 'Sunday Morning' as on the 'Velvet Underground & Nico' Verve LP, but rather it was 'European Son' — the song that is last on that LP, and it was a version neither of us had ever heard before!" Isaacson wrote.
What Hill had purchased was one of only two reported copies of the in-studio acetate from the 4 days the Velvet Underground recorded their first album in 1966 at Scepter Studio in NYC.
Hill and Isaacson photographed the album, made a digital backup copy of the music, and decided to put it up for auction on eBay on November 28th. When bidding closed Mr. Hill had turned a $0.75 investment into a sale of $155,401.00! The buyer is known only by their eBay screen name.Nice to see David Stern, he the Commissioner of the NBA has realized his faux pax trying to introduce a "composite" basketball instead of the tried and true LEATHER !!!!Mr. Stern... all you had to do is ask the readers here and they will tell you ....NEVER REPLACE THE LEATHER!
You Go Girl... Nicole Richie got busted after fellow motorists called 911 to report a black SUV (what else!) was driving on the wrong side of the road and erratically.After failing a roadside sobriety test, the "85 lb." (according to the police report) Richie was booked and released after taking a drug test. No results on that yet, but our girl Nicole, reportedly told the CHP officers Jon and Ponch, that she may have been "token' the herb don cha know", earlier in the evening.
The reports that Paris Hilton was the one who made the incriminating phone calls to police, and was seen lurking behind a bush as the cops did the roadside test are unconfirmed.
Tick tock goes the clock. The Boston Red Sox only have until Thursday to complete a deal for Japenese stud pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka.The Red Sox were the "winners" in a bidding war to just get the chance to negotiate a deal with Matsuzaka.
The deadline is Thursday. If they can not get a deal done then they lose negotiating rights and the pitcher heads back to the Seibu Lions.
OH, the price the Red Sox paid to the Lions just to negotiate with Matzuzaka...$51 million!
Now if they can't get a deal done, they do get their money back.
On a good note for Yankee fans, Matsuzaka's agent has said his client is worth "well in excess of one hundred million dollars."
sheesh.....never blame the players if there is a work stoppage or lockout in baseball ever again. It is the owners who are paying all this money!
