Celeb o'the Day - Laura Margolis

Laura MargolisLaura Margolis - The Strangers (Pin-up Girl)

Email o'the Day

A cabbie picks up a Nun.

She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.'

She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'

'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'

She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'

The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'

'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'

The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.

But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

'My dear child,' says the nun, 'why are you crying?'

'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish.'

The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

Remember when MTV played music?

Do you remember when the "M" in MTV meant 'music'? If you're like me, you stopped watching MTV a loooooooooong time ago. Back when they would only show music videos in ½ hour blocks once every few hours. I didn't mind shows like Remote Control. But after that MTV went down hill fast. Filling air time with junk like Real World and Road Rules.

Well the good times are back. Sort of. MTV is still confused about their initials. Now the music is back in MTV, it's just that the TV is not TV anymore. I'll take what I can get at this point.

I first read about this on digg.com (link) and when I read it I was excited. I know that you can probably find most of these videos on Youtube or scattered elsewhere on the internet. But with MTV behind it and with their massive video archive maybe we will actually get some real quality videos. It has to be better than some geek using his cell phone to record video of his TV playing a 20 year old VHS tape recording of Money For Nothing. I've played around with it some and was unable to find some of my favorites, but I have hope. Another thing that would like to see come from this is an ability to make a channel or playlist. You could base it on Genre, Era, Group, or whatever. I would, like, TOTALLY watch that. Fer Sher!

From this article on ars technica:

MTV smacks YouTube, posts almost every music video ever

Do you sometimes find yourself wishing that there was a place you could go to just watch music videos? Back in the 80s, MTV served that purpose. These days, MTV and its sibling MTV2 are hardly channels anyone would watch in order to get a music video fix. MTV is looking to redeem itself in the music video department, however, by launching a new site Tuesday called MTV Music that opens up the company's massive video archive and puts it on the web for free.

MTV Music expands upon the music video offerings already posted to MTV.com by offering an entire back catalogue of videos that go all the way to when music videos were born. The library includes more than 16,000 videos, sprinkled with "exclusive" MTV concert footage and MTV "Unplugged" performances that used to be all the rage. And that's just the beginning. According to a blog post on MTV's Splash Page, more videos are being added by the day, so even if your favorite Paula Abdul selections haven't been posted yet, they probably will make it up eventually.

If I may speak for the entire 80's generation....
