"Mess WIth The Bull You Get The Horns" Movie Quote

I just wanted to clear something up for everyone who has ever been challenged by which John Hughes movie uses the line "mess with the bull you get the horns".

A: BOTH "Some Kind Of Wonderful" and "Breakfast Club". The confusion, you see, is that Paul Gleason playing Vice Principal Vernon holds up his fingers in a bull horn shape and says "I've got you for two months" which may cause you to wonder if your memory is inaccurate...but it's not. He also said the bull and horns thing.

I guess John Hughes really loves this zinger, and can't help but use it across movies. There is plenty of president for the the practice: Woody Allen has a ton of one liners that migrate across movies, as does Mell Brooks - a "Walk this way" site gag shows up in "Young Frankenstein" and "History Of The World Part I". There are plenty of other examples - Shakespeare for example...he does it.

What Santa Can't Say - Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me

Peter Sagal is a very funny man, and his panel of comedians on "Wait Wait...Don't Tell" are always a laugh riot, but this weekend the gang surpassed themselves when Paula Poundstone had to think of what Santa can't say anymore - according to one Santa placement company in Australia.

Train Songs

By: Ben Tiernan

I spent the better part of this morning on itunes creating a playlist of songs about trains. I think it was time well spent. Here's what I came up with...

Love Train 2:58 The O'Jays
Crazy Train 4:50 Ozzy Osbourne
Night Train 3:31 James Brown
Train, Train 3:34 Blackfoot
Midnight Train to Georgia 4:39 Gladys Knight & The Pips
Peace Train 4:14 Cat Stevens
Folsom Prison Blues 2.48 Johnny Cash
Old Train 2:23 Original Seldom Scene
Dry the Rain 6:05 The Beta Band The Three EP's


Rain rhymes with train.

Not a bad bunch of music. I guess writing songs about trains brings out the highest level of creative integrity - probably because of the august history of the train song. It's like writing a sonnet, or an epic.

Dim Sum and then Sum

By: Ben Tiernan

Tonight I made a fusion dinner of sorts.

First we had some nice dumplings...pork dumplings, and fried shrimp dumplings. I bought those in Alhambra, so that's Chinese.

Then, for the main course, I made an assortment of sausage and pickles. I had Italian pork sausage, rosemary lamb sausage, tarragon chicken sausage. Many many sausage. I also had dill pickles, sour kraut, and caramelized onions. With a splash of mustard, that felt German.

Viola! my Chinese/German dinner. Bon Apetit.

My Soap

By: Ben Tiernan

I just noticed how fantastic the advertising claims are on my cleansing products.

My facial soap claims to use "Botanical Kinetics" which I think is impossible.

Even less likely is that my shampoo lives up to its claim of having "0 Calories". That's right! My shampoo is not fattening.

My name is Ben Tiernan, and I'm an ad man.
