king.jpgBack by popular demand — OK, nobody demanded it, and we have no recollection of it being overly popular — we bring you another exciting installment of “Channeling Larry King,” where we muse on the day’s news and other subjects in the style (and sometimes the brain) of the TV man.

Rhys Lloyd sure can kick the ball. … That Anna Kournikova might not be much of a tennis player, but I’m told she is quite attractive. Happy birthday! … Convertibles: not for all seasons. … Big Brown sure is a beautiful horse. … Canadian provinces are a lot like American states. … Sometimes it’s hard to tell if an NBA game is fixed or if the refs just stink. … I never understood why everyone called Phil Mickelson “Lefty” until I watched him golf. … Nothing beats a good glass of wine. … Jonathan Papelbon has the right idea. … Don’t leave chocolate squares in the hot sun. Trust me. … O.J. Mayo: that sounds terrible! … New sport: racing squirrels. … I think my neighbor might be a racist. … It’s a shame the U.S. isn’t playing in Euro 2008. … True or false: True.

I was actually just thinking about this yesterday when going back through some old posts.

Rhys Lloyd looks like he needs to buy a vowel…Anna K makes every shot a money shot…I might be able to name 3 Canadian provinces and most of those will be guesses…I ate your chocolate squirrel…False.

Birthday’s?

Todays:

Vince Lombardi would have been 95.
I sure wish they named a stadium after him.

Joe Montana turns 52
I’ve never been to Joe, Montana but I hear it’s beautiful this time of year.

I hear it’s kind of lonely right now in Joe, Montana.

But if you don’t want it that way jsut say so.

I would watch Larry King if he acted more like the puppets in Avenue Q
