If ever the phrase "stranger than fiction" applied to anything- it's to The Wendy's Chili Finger Fraud case.

The best part? The guy who lost his finger? His nickname's "Fudge". Heh.


It's gonna make a great USA Network movie-of-the-week.  I'm betting on the woman who plays Karen's maid on Will & Grace playing the finger lady.

My favorite part:

Bar buddies bought him shots of his favorite drink, a cinnamon-flavored schnapps with gold flecks called Goldschlager.

I *LURVE* GOLDSCHLAGER!   (hic)

I think Ayala herself thinks she's already IN the TV movie.

Didja notice how dolled up she was for her court appearance a week or so ago? She had more war-paint on than an Apache brave. She's wearing prison garb but she's acting like she's strolling down the red carpet at the Oscar's preshow. A-mazing.

Liberal pinko that I am, I think Newsweek's story was probably correct, and the PTB needed a fall guy in response to the anti-American sentiment.


Well, Jon Carroll -- a liberal pinko in his own right -- has another take in today's column.

Quote
(And, speaking of that, let me give you a data point about the whole Newsweek-Guantanamo thing. When we were in Islamic northern Nigeria in 1995, we heard a story about a Christian American woman who was accused by a politically ambitious mullah of using the Koran as toilet paper. The leader of the family who had taken the woman in defended her; a crowd broke in, beheaded him, and carried his head around on a stick. According to our host, a university professor, the Koran-and-toilet-paper story is basically the Muslim equivalent of "Jews eat Gentile babies during Passover" slander. (So, I am guessing that Newsweek was sold a bill of goods. I'm thinking a sting operation of some sort. And, oh look, it's Michael Isikoff, Kenneth Starr's best media buddy. Oh, that karma).

Did anyone catch the exchange on the Morning Show about her, yesterday I think? Apparently Peter Finch thinks she's hot (in a strictly married-guy-watching-from-afar kind of way. Apparently he goes for the skanky type (no offense to Mrs. Finch, who I've never seen.) Nevertheless....

EEEEeeeeewwww....
Let's get right to it.

It took a lot of courage for you to attempt that maneuver and dismount.   :)

And I'm going to hell for pointing out she was voted "Best Butt" in some UK magazine a year or so ago.



Get well soon, Kylie! The world needs you now more than ever!

Speaking of Paris Hilton- another celeb has cellphone issues- and it's none other than Gaz's favorite novelty singer!

BUFFETT'S STOLEN PHONE CAUSES CHAOS FOR STARS

Hollywood stars are frantically changing their phone numbers after country singer Jimmy Buffett's cell phone fell into the wrong hands.

The star, 57, accidentally left his phone in a Florida restaurant on May 29, and although the device has been recovered, the memory card that holds numbers belonging to stars such as Michael Douglas, George Clooney, Harrison Ford and Bill Gates, is still missing.

The U.S. Secret Service were alerted when former President Bill Clinton received a crank call.

Jason Martin, a bellboy at the Brisa Atlantica restaurant in Delray Beach, found the phone outside the venue, and police believe it was a friend of Martin who contacted Clinton.

Martin, 22, says, "We were sitting around smoking weed and scrolling down the list on Jimmy's phone, going 'Wow!'"

When one of the singer's staff called the phone to retrieve it, Martin became agitated and refused to give it up -- even after being offered a $200 reward.

He says, "He said I was a thief and a liar. Then I called (Buffett's wife) Jane's number, and she was nasty to me. So I told them I wouldn't give it back."

Martin has since been fired by his employer.

Buffett fumes, "It's a person's worst nightmare."

I guess Jimmy's never experienced any real pain.  I can think of innumerable experiences that would be worse nightmares.  Like, I don't know, having your arm ripped off by an angry grizzly bear or,  *cheap shot alert!* listening to Jimmy Buffet for more than a few minutes.

LOL! I was waiting for one of you to say that!

ETA: I'm not so sure this story is all that accurate. If somebody cranked-called Clinton, the Secret Service would have arrested them by now. At least I think they would have.
