Subtext of Ben Stein

A new column about hidden meanings called You See Tomato,
I See Potato. Now, that's a good title, but it would be better
if the writer's name was Bob Russet, because a Russet is a kind
of potato.

with Mitch Williams 
We interview the former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher who now owns
a bowling ally. He's a real life Ed ! Speaking of Ed,
we dare you to go into a grocery store and ask where the "la-toose"
is instead of the lettuce. Did anyone besides us watch that show?
It was pretty good. |

ANNA
KOURNIKOVA INVITED TO PLAY STOKER CLASSIC (BR)

Anna Kournikova has been asked to play a PGA golf tournament
next month with a sponsor's exemption from Wilson Sports. An executive
for the apparel company said he got the idea while watching Annika
Sorenstam play the Colonial right after reading an FHM.
"The whole thing was kind of boring," he said, "and
I was hoping it would be a lot hotter. I ended up playing Outlaw
Golf on X-Box for most of the day. We think this will be
much more exciting for the true golf fans out there."
SEQUELS WILL CONTINUE TO RULE SUMMER BOX OFFICE
(BR)

With Hollywood already counting the cash it hopes to earn
from a summer full of successful sequels and a renewed interest
in break dancing, New Line Cinema has announced plans to begin
production immediately on Breakin’ 3: Electric Boogaloo
2 - Attack of the Boogaloos. The original stars who played
Turbo and Ozone have already signed up with the project. When
asked to comment, Adolfo Quinones (Ozone) was quoted as saying,
“I really think the time is right to unleash my new moves.”
He pointed out that “the movies were originally conceived
as a trilogy” and that “this film would answer a lot
of lingering questions.”

CLAY AIKENS GAINS MUCH MORE THAN FAME (BR)

At the onset of the last American Idol competition,
Clay Aiken was said by Simon Cowel, to “possess the voice
of a soulful arch-angel" even though he admitted to having
the self-image of a Screech Powers. The AI finalist soon
began a transformation. With the right combination of silk, hair
dye, make-up,and a pubic hair, Aiken was called “quite a
man” by Paula Abdul. “I like being quite a man, to
be honest. After my first album bombs, I plan on keeping this
look when I reinvent myself as a Christian singer named Toby Aikens.”
PHOTOS PROVEN TO INCREASE READERSHIP OF FAKE NEWS (BR)

During a two-week-long study that took into account
web site hits, unsolicited responses, and writer satisfaction,
it was determined that gratuitous photos of girls in tank tops
holds an extreme appeal for male readers of fake news and does
not totally offend as many women as you might think.

CURIOUS GEORGE 
My name is Kevin Shaughnessy, and I love monkeys. Curious George
is likely a primate of the Capuchin species, often called a "cotton
monkey" in the old south. I've loved Curious George over
the years for many different reasons. As a child, I loved his
playfulness. As a teenager, I must admit, I appreciated his rebellious
antics. In college, I became curious, too... about careers! (It
took me a long time to choose my major). Now, I like George mostly
because of the money market philosophy hidden in the subtext of
his adventures... I just hope none of my clients are reading this!
Also, the man in the yellow hat could be prosecuted under the
animal cruelty acts of over half the contiguous states. My name
is Kevin Shaughnessy, and I love monkeys. |
