Wednesday (teaching the kids) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Posted on January 14th, 2009 – 9:33 AMBy Michael Rand
Hey all: Sorry about the late start today. We won’t be up and running fully until this afternoon because of a high school journalism workshop we are involved with over at the University of St. Thomas (we like to help the kids). In the mean time, feel free to talk about Michael Irvin and his interesting traffic stop.

Or, we could talk American Idol like everyone else. Celia watched some of it, because she appreciates modern pop music and schadenfreude. The CMS and I just can’t stomach it, but she did let us know that someone did a really good job on “the Guitar Hero song” (Barracuda, it seems), and that some girl sang a song in a bikini.
So, yeah. Thank you, Phoenix!
Things I learned last night:
1) The Proprietor has no time to stop and talk to his staff.
2) LQ will go one better - he won’t even stop to talk to his brother.
Jon: You guys were all on the phone! I didn’t want to interrupt the flow. Plus I was dog tired and had to drive LQ home. About a minute after we left the building, LQ realized his brother was probably working that night. He felt pretty bad about that.
Wait a minute, Marthaler was at the Wolves game instead of the Wild game? I refuse to believe that happened.
(Good game, though. Jefferson or Miller played terrible, and they still could/should’ve won.)
I watched “Idol” last night - I’m not a fan by any stretch, but I like to watch the audition portion to see how wretched and deluded some of the hopefuls are. After they go to Hollywood I shut it off because once the trainwrecks are gone, there’s nothing to see.
The bikini singer was attractive if you’re into too-skinny, overtanned girls with bad attitudes.
Simon and Randy decided to let her through before she even sang. I mean, I know that it fits with the convenient stereotype that “guys are shallow”, but that was not the proudest moment for a show that proclaims itself to be looking for “talent”.
Stu:
Mike Miller (as they would say in NBA Jam) “can’t buy a bucket!”
One big shot from him and the Wolves win that game.

After she gets kicked off, I’m predicting a role in a video starring Shiancoe.
He won’t admit it, but I saw LQ’s brother crying silently at his desk after he found out that LQ wouldn’t talk to him.*
As far as the Proprietor, he had the sense to hire a stunt double this winter, so we didn’t miss him that much.
*Not in any way true.
