A challenge was offered up recently to list the worst fictional couples. I could send an email as suggested, but what would be the fun in that? Public discourses are always more interesting.
So, my first submission is Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly from You've Got Mail. This seemed so much like a "Let's write Sleepless in Seattle but have this one take place ENTIRELY in New York."
Actually, that will be my only submission lest this blog become too feminine. So to macho this thing up, I have to talk about erections. That's right, erections. And why would this be on my mind? Because of a disclaimer in an ad for Cialis, a Viagra competitor. In the ad, the announcer warns that you should consult a doctor if erections LAST LONGER THAN 4 HOURS!!! I laughed when Viagra came out. I laughed when Mike Ditka started pitching Levitra and became known as "Not-so-Iron Mike" and "Coach Limpka". But this Cialis ad speaks to me with its promise of 4 hours of full mast flag flying. I think I do need to consult my doctor about this!
Is there anything more boring than NASCAR? I know there are hundreds of thousands of rabid fans out there, but to me, its just grown men who can't make a right turn. I'm happy for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. I know winning Daytona was important feat in his still short career, but why is this the fastest growing sport in America? I am a huge hockey fan. Hockey is one of the greatest games to watch, both at the arena and on TV. But, as hockey flounders searching for a fan base south of the Arctic Circle, NASCAR gets more and more attention.

Finally, do you remember what Morticia would say that would send Gomez into a horny frenzy? Usually, it would just be the phrase "Mon Cherie" which I think is French, but I can't seem to find a good translation of it.
