what??!?

I watched the beginning of the All-Star game yesterday.

Wayne Newton = shat.

Not "THE shat." Just plain shat.

Dissection time!

1: His face

The dude has a plastic face! He could hardly move his mouth in time with the words! And that plasticine smile is enough to inspire nightmares! [!!!shudder!!!] This brings me to

2: His singing

Why do people think he's such a good singer? I can't see... mostly because HE WASN'T SINGING! He was merely moving his over-bloated smile in time with the words! I wasn't sure at first, but the "grand finale" clinched it --> the words went "Yeah!" ~ a beat and a 1/2 before he did...

3: His instrumentalism

I may have just invented the word, but regardless, it was ridiculous. Worse than Colin Mochrie (sp? who cares...) as the Snack Fairy. Well, I actually think that's funny, but funny "ha ha", not funny "what the hell is he trying to do?", which is what Newton's instrumentalism was. I don't think his guitar even had strings on it! Listen dude, if you're gonna air-guitar, at least move your left hand. Holding it in one position while flailing around with the right just looks dumb. And don't ever pick up a fiddle again. Disgraceful.

4: His face (yes, again!)

Look, Wayne(ker), if they can put it in you, they can take it out. Get them to take out 2/3 of the crap you've had injected in your cheeks, and at least you'll lose the "chipmunk-hoarding-for-the-winter" look. It just makes you look like a fool. I know you're supposed to be an entertainer, but the only thing I found entertaining about the opening ceremonies was the announcer's name embellishment.

Well, that was messy. Time to clean up and go play hockey.

P/R

-->With freedom comes responsibility; with rights come responsibilities; with experience come responsibility (anyone else see a pattern here?)

-->Success is mere perspective

-->"I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom." - Bob Dylan

-->Failure is based on conjecture

-->With independence comes responsibility. With citizenship comes responsibility. With power comes responsibility (how about now?)

--> Happiness can be purchased

--> Responsibility is an extension of a very old concept - honour. Back in the day, it was your responsibility to uphold your honour, your family's honour, your woman's honour... These days we remember the responsibility part, but it seems we've left the honour part (the most important part) in the dust of ages past

-->Contentment comes from within

--> With action comes responsibility. With delegation comes responsibility. With emotion comes responsibility. With marriage, with birth, with position...[ad inf.] comes responsibility (see it yet?)
