I forgot to tell you the good deed that I did the other day while I was in Jersey. While watching TV with my buddy Jon, I noticed that his HDTV really looked like crap. Subtely, I checked out the wires (as to not offend his TV-hookup sensibilities), and noticed that he had his HD cable box hooked to the TV with basic Red-White-Yellow wires. Oh, the horror!

I emphatically told him that he hasn't been watching HDTV for the year that he's had the TV and that he should switch to component cables. He grabbed some out of the closet - everyone has extra componoent cables these days - and we hooked them up. Next thing you know we were watching Spanglish in HD. The picture immediately went from crap to sharp, crisp and colorful. And as if that wasn't a great enough miracle, the movie was surprisingly good. For a moment, I even forgot that Adam Sandler was the same guy that was in "Billy Madison."

If that somehow came out as if I didn't like Billy Madison, I didn't mean it that way. I'd put Billy Madison as my number one Sandler movie, actually. Shampoo is better...No, conditioner is better...

Have any of you paid attention to some of the comments that Charlie Sheen made about a 9/11 conspiracy? Call me crazy, but I think he might be onto something. If you haven't read his comments, check them out here...

No, I will not be watching "Two and a Half Men" just because of this. But I might watch "Hot Shots!" next time it's on HBO2.

Speaking of Charlie Sheen, he's in the upcoming "Scary Movie 4", which also stars Leslie Nielson in what looks like a hilarious spoof of Mr. Bush reading to the kids during the 9/11 attacks. You can check that out online if you visit the Scary Movie website, but I'm not gonna link you to that because I can't be doing all the work here, that's just not fair.

Now get to work.

Really, I mean that. You are at work right now and I'm sure there's something you should be doing. Or at least pretending to do...
