Hi. Didja know that little girls’ screams are some of the loudest things in the world?
John took 2/3 of his daughters to the Hannah Montana show. He drove them down to the Scottrade Center. His oldest was gonna drive to the show, but due to the rain, John took charge. John didn’t “get” to go into the show. We took calls from parents who were just happy that the Cyrus family is finally outta town.
Triple C has been watching “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” She likes people performing “face plants.”
My daughter’s fourth birthday was awesome yesterday. We did four cool kid things:
Turtle Park (in the city),
The Butterfly House at Faust Park (Chesterfield),
Stuckmeyer’s Fort Spooky & Hay Ride (Fenton)
and Grant’s Farm’s Halloween Celebration (Afton).
JC doesn’t know what to do with his Sunday nights now that “The Sopranos” has ended. The creator of the show, David Chase, has a new book coming out on October 30th titled The Sopranos: The Complete Book. In the book he talks about the futures of Meadow & AJ – neither of them wind up like their parents. Eric Mink called in to dispute the notion that DVRs have ruined “appointment television.”
In thousands of cases, Missouri has likely miscalculated back child support owed by parents, in some cases missing the mark by more than $400,000, according to a state audit released Thursday. But those miscalculations go both ways with some people paying more and others less than they should. The audit looked at 209 such cases, finding errors 27% of the time. That rate suggests that 51,000 of 187,033 similar cases may contain mistakes.

John suggests to stay home and don’t touch anybody to protect yourself from MSRA. No offense meant to his lovely wife.
We told you about John Goodman’s rehab stint & we had Julianne Moore on the air yesterday. Here’s a cleaned up for television scene from The Big Lebowski:
We saw lots of movies this week: Into the Wild (five outta five Macs) -- Laurie’s favorite movie of the year so far. Rendition (three outta five Macs) -- Those who should see it won’t. Gone Baby Gone (four outta five). The Darjeeling Limited (two outta five Interns) -- If you like Wes Anderson movies then see it.
Toasts at weddings are awkward social situations. The worst offenders are fathers of the groom.
Five signs a date is going well:
1. She touches up her makeup.
2. She asks about your family.
3. She’s attentive to what you’re saying.
4. She’s touchy–feely.
5. The date takes longer than planned.
Four big secrets men don’t tell their significant others:
1. He has a porn stash.
2. He wants you to go down… south.
3. He hates it when you are more successful than he.
4. He’s more loyal to you than his friends.
We think Dave took off today so he could go to the USC football game at Notre Dame.
It Happens Every Spring (1949) starring Ray Milland & Jean Peters. A scientist discovers a formula that makes a baseball which is repelled by wood. He promptly sets out to exploit his discovery.
On Fox2 on Sunday JC will talk about the lost art of the “romantic-comedy” movie. We’ll have the list on Monday. Among our suggestions I would like to add Chasing Amy, Laurie would add The Princess Bride & John would add Caddyshack (“Danny, I’m pregnant”).
Reminders: Laurie will be at the new Viviano’s Festa Italiano at Olive & 141 (not Lindbergh) on Saturday from 10:30am-12:30pm. Then go see her in I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (now in its final weeks). JC is hosting the Our Lady of Lourdes Men’s Club Sports Trivia Challenge on Friday, November 16th. To get a table or to find out more call Dale at 314.863.2704.
The JoY was “Just a Big Ego” in honor of Van Halen “postponing” their Saint Louis date. The 3fA featured Bruce Springsteen. The Vault was a montage of the 1982 World Series win – the 25th anniversary is tomorrow. Finally, Comedy Central was originally known as Ha! And then they merged with The Comedy Channel.
