One Year Ago Tomorrow?

Yes.  Rather than repost the video, here's the whole content of Rich "Sitting Up a Little Straighter on the Couch" Lowry - PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM YOUR TV, SIR! - and his Penthouse Forum blog commentary on Sarah Palin:

"A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, 'Hey, I think she just winked at me.' And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it."

Don't Invite Dennis Eckersley Back to the NESN Booth Soon

While we here at The O Files are wishing Jerry Remy well as he recovers from cancer, NESN has been using fill ins on their Red Sox telecasts. On Friday (5/22), Dennis Eckersley, Hall of Fame starter and closer, as well as TBS studio anaylist, was in the anaylist's seat, and let's just say there were a couple of NSFW moments for the kids or offices. First, he blurts out a "Gianluca Pagliuca" moment that would have made Gary Miller proud:

Needless to say, that wasn't the only Ralph Kiner/Jerry Coleman malaprop Eck had. Listen closely to the name of the pitcher:

We could have read lips and knew Eck was not praying. Oh, and Eck, since you had to bring up the word "masterbate" I am forced to bring this out in your honor:

We'd Thought Now Would Be A Good Time To Bring This Out

The wife of Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi wants a divorce. Here's a lookalike having a good time with a meter maid as we jump back into the wayback machine. You supply the "Yakity Sax" soundtrack.

An Instant Countdown Clasic

You've heard about Vince Offer Schlomi, the ShamWOW guy and his run in with the law from Friday's (3/27) Oddball. Now here's the video, and as Beetlejuice said about The Exorcist "it gets funnier EVERY TIME I SEE IT!"

Remember the Last Time...

...when our friend Keith was a guest on The Soup? That was last July to be exact when he did a week of shows from Los Angeles during the TV Critics Association tours (that was when NBC was going to broadcast Super Bowl XLIII.) Let's go into the wayback machine for that moment.

And then, that led to this...

They called a truce afterward.

Bet You Forgot This...

Yesterday (February 16) was President's Day.  So, in honor of that, here's a vintage Oddball segment on the Washington Nationals' Presidents' Race.

A Refresher Course on How to Handle Porter and Jesse Should They Come and Stalk You Into an Interview With Billo

Well, remember last night's (2/6) WPitW? The one that had Billo the Clown and his stalker/producer Porter Potty, er, Porter Berry trying to goad Russell Tice, the man that told all to Keith on why they were (illegally) spying on all of us?

I figured we needed to brush up on our measures on how to handle these Billo brown shirts who are named Jesse and Porter...

First, a primer on how to handle this situation, and then a masters course by none other than Bill Moyers telling Porter what to do with his proposed interview as it were.

The Big Question Is...

Will Keith do his Pirate Rupert (or any pirate) impression tomorrow (2/1) as NBC's blow-out-the-budget five hour pre-game extravaganza takes place from the Buccaneers' pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium?

And Today, On Number 50...

We'd thought we'd go back to last October and the post-Vice Presidnetial Debate comments of a National Review blogger with Keith doing an impression of what sounds like Adam West reading from The Penthouse Forum.
