For Your Consideration...
by Steve West on February 15, 2009

So many actors are on their best behaviour come Oscar time because they don't want anything to interfere with their chances to win in this rare opportunity. The rarest of opportunities occurs this year for Mickey Rourke who is not exactly on a first name basis with Oscar nominations. And may never be there again. Who knows? But the Mickster once again displays that he is nothing but class.

Stir the potatoes.
Shake hands with a friend.
Play the organ solo while conducting the band.

Far more disturbing:
Seeing some potatoes shake... or watching the conductor lose control of his organist during a solo performance?
Grievance is definitely in the air.

The Texas Chili Cook-Off
Recently, at a Bowie Baysox baseball game, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a Texas chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last minute, and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table, asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans, probably) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy; and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge #3.
