Well, my wife needs to use the computer soon so this will have to be a fast blog. It will have to be so fast that even the most greatest analogy about things being fast will not do it justice.
So, the Oscars. How about that dress that lady was wearing? Did that not make her look like a dog returning from a long frisbee catch with its owner?
And how about that guy with the thing? Unbelievable.
Do you believe that one award. All of those people were nominated, and they gave it to that guy. That really makes me mad. I can't even express what I am feeling right now.
And that lady when she giving her speech, like, she tried to mention all 6 billion people on the planet. Like, what's up with that?
And that musical number, with this thing and that thing and the other thing. It all added up to Bubkes if you ask me. Oy!
And that one commercial with the lady and the guy and they had that thing and then the other person came along. That was actually pretty good.
And the ending was good, when the credits were rolling and it was over. I think that was the best part.
And my friend won the award for best place to watch the Oscars without the sound and close captioning for "That other Mexican restaurant".
The award for best glance at the Oscars while trying to get the kids to bed goes to me, Steve.
And the award for best zonk out on the couch during the Oscars goes to my bride of 12 plus years, Svetlana.
And the award for the last sentence in this blog goes to this sentence.

Steve:
I saw the Oscars last night. I'm grateful that the Academy chose to give most of the awards to "Slumdog Millionaire" instead of the vastly over-rated "Benjamin Button."
I thought the show was okay. Hugh Jackman was good. But what Academy idiot came up with the idea of having five former winners in each of the acting categories come out on stage and give each individual acting nominee a "Shriner's testimonial" tribute about their great performance?
As if the Academy Awards were not narcissistic enough! Do we really need to hear former Oscar winners saying "You da man!" twenty times over, to each of the acting nominees?
(Alan Arkin tripped on his tribute and referred to his nominee as "Seymour Philip Hoffman." Arkin has apparently been taking elocution lessons from Chief Justice John Roberts.)
Also, 2008 was not the best year for movies. So why do they have to remind us of this with all these "2008 in Review" film clip montages?
Being a Batman fan, I was glad when Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight. I thought his family did a nice simple tribute to him in accepting the award on his daughter's behalf.
Obviously, Ledger knew that playing a vicious, ruthless, sociopathic anarchist with no morals or compassion who causes chaos and terror wherever he goes is a sure way to win an Oscar. (I'm surprised that Richard Dreyfuss wasn't nominated in the same category for playing a similar role -- the role of Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's W.)

And the award for being the only couple on the planet to watch "Storm Stories" on the weather channel instead of the Oscar's goes to BOB AND LISA! "Thank you, thank you, I'll treasure this honor for the rest of my life," said Lisa. (I didn't see any of the nominated movies, no sense in watching. However, Steve's blog really did a great job on filling me in on what I missed,
Thank you Anonymous Rob and Lisa for your comments. This issue obviously was on people's minds.
Hey!!! The only question I have about the Oscars is...what the heck happened to Jack Nicholson? He is always front and center. Did he have a falling out with the Academy? Was he pissed that Hugh Jackman was the host? The world may never know.
From Steve's Writing Partner Mike -
