***Stephan’s Grammie’s birthday was yesterday!  She’s now 100 years old!  Because she’s cool like that, she’s having three birthday parties, got interviewed by her local news, and got letters from The White House and Willard Scott.  Ah yeah!  We’re going to the big party this weekend!

***Jamba Juice is offering a new type of "smoothie"– one that has granola in it.  Not only does this sound disgusting and like it wouldn’t go through a straw, but, um, wouldn’t this technically have to be called a "crunchie?"

***Mischa Barton’s fan club is EXTREMELY upset with me for calling their golden girl "unemployed" on Wednesday.  Several of them have written in to inform me that Mischa Barton has EIGHT MOVIES IN DEVELOPMENT, and several modelling contracts.  But, here’s the deal– that list was about people who threw away a good thing, like your darling Mischa Anne did when she quit The O.C.   And since I’m pretty sure my Starbucks guy has EIGHT MOVIES IN DEVELOPMENT and I haven’t seen her actually working since 2006, I’ll take back "unemployed," but I’m leaving her on the stupid people list.  Sorry!

*** You know that costume store called "Aaahs"?  I’m not even sure that’s a good name for a store, but that’s beside the point.  This week I walked by that store, and there was a guy dressed like a security guard standing out front, and this made me laugh for two reasons.  First, because it’s Halloween, so he could have just been a guy in a costume from the store, so his guarding presence was really diluted in that situation, and second, because do they really need a security guard stationed outside of "Aaahs"?  Like, are that many people trying to abscond with Spiderman costumes, that they need an armed guard (or maybe just a guy dressed like one)?  Doesn’t it seem sadly ironic that the very time they might need such a guard might be the time he’d have to stand outside in costume–on Halloween, thereby invalidating his authority?  I’m just sayin’….

***The topic of Funny Strange Live today is "People With Names Like Groovy Nipples and Jackson Fastaction."  Also, we have alot of stuff to rant about, so this should be a good sow.
