Walked the red carpet? Wore a designer gown?

I watched the Oscars til we lost power last night. Jerry Lewis was on stage getting some kind of lifetime achievement award (he needs to be in the deathpool).

While it certainly wasn't surprising that Slumdog Millionaire took best film, it's nice to see low-budget, indy/bollywood b-type films get recognized.

Haven't been to the Academy Awards, but been in the vicinity countless times on the day of. You can see all the preparations and the thousands of people that work on it, as well as the thousands of spectators and fans.

It's awesome and fun and a total circus. And it's ******* ludicrous how bad parking is in a 10 block radius of the Kodak Theater on that day.

Odd, since movie stars don't drive and raving fans are unemployed and too poor to own cars.

My son did security for the Oscars a couple of years back. He made Bill Mahar move his car, lol. Apparently Mahar thought he could just park conveniently close to the red carpet after wending his way through the crush and my son was heading to the rope line. Jon, my son, stopped, looked at Mahar and said, "I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to move your vehicle. This is a no parking zone." Bill looked at him and asked, "Do you know who I am?" To which my son said, "No sir, and I'm sure you'll tell me, but you still have to move your car or I'll have it towed." Bill sputtered and fumed, but got back into his car and drove off.

Later, at the In-N-Out burger wagon that catered the event for the worker bees, the head of security sidled up to Jonny and told him that "stars" were to be given preferential treatment and other worker bees would valet their autos to parking in the back. My son, being a college student with an enormous lack of respect for authority, said, "Yea sir, I know. But he was Bill Mahar." The head of security just laughed.

That it happened to such a vile person as that d1ckhead just made that story all the more delicious.

Mahar, Maher, Meyer, mox nix.

So, tricky? Got a bad case of irritable bowel syndrone? Irritable male syndrome? On the rag? Of late you've been rather pissy. Wait, don't tell me, lemme guess-- your long time girlfriend recently told you you turned her into a lesbian, right? Or was it that the family dog couldn't even muster up some unconditional love for his master and left with your now lezzie ex?

Dude, you need to get laid in a baaaaaad way.
