Get the mambo in the gambo and get all Rambo, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

How rainy was it?
It was rainy in Los Angeles last week. Amy Winehouse’s hair had that wet dog smell.

Is that a fact?
The NBA All Star game was this weekend. “Wow, that is the greatest event in sports” said absolutely not one single person in the history of all mankind.

A laugh riot
What is always the number one trait all women say they look for in men? A sense of humor. Do you realize what this means? Tom Brady is one of the funniest men on the planet.

What irony
On the “Today Show” Jane Fonda dropped the C-word. I can’t say what the C-word was, but, ironically, it’s the same word Vietnam veterans have been calling Jane Fonda for nearly five decades.

Scientific fact
A new study reveals Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids back in 2000. You can tell by counting the rings around the trunk of his head.

Good thinking
The military said it will shoot down a crippled satellite and blow it up before it crashes to the earth. They got the idea from watching the New York Knicks.

If you know what I mean
In an interview about his two-year marriage, “Diff’rent Strokes” star Gary Coleman revealed they have not consummated their marriage. Turns out his strokes must not be all that diff’rent.

Song selection
One of the members of the band Boston told Mike Huckabee to stop ripping off their song “More Than a Feeling.” However Neil Young said that John McCain can still use his song “Old Man.”


Since you asked:

Here is a new cooking tip feature all the good people here at a.L.b.B. productions like to call:


Lex rips off another Sam the Cooking Guy tip:

Buy one of those awesome rotisserie chickens at Cost Co or your local Super Market get it home, let it cool off and then take off the skin and start pulling off usable chunks with thumb and forefinger and put them in a plastic tub. They make for great quesadillas and chicken sandwiches and just tossed in a salad.

Sam the Cooking Guy is very entertainment and lazy-guy friendly, plus he does the cooking all by himself without a crew of 50 to clean up after him like Emeril, Bobby Flay or Giada and Rachel.

Sam’s line of thinking is to keep cooking fun for us grill and cooking loving guys who want to impress guests but don’t want to spend a lot of effort to do it. There are some awesome sauces and dressings and marinades out there in stores for you to use and doctor up with whatever you want to make them your own without destroying your kitchen in the process. Like Stubbs barbeque sauce is great but it is even better when I toss in some mustard, molasses and Worcestershire sauce.
