Random Thoughts
Julia Child died this past week at age 91. Child was arguably one of the most famous chefs of all time, inspiring millions of people to start cooking. In a related story, Julia Child this week also won the "2004 Dead Celebrity Who I Thought Had Already Died Years Ago" award. Congratulations, Ms. Child.
Also this week, rock group Van Halen is suing the Baltimore Orioles for $2 million, claiming that they rearranged their schedule to accommodate the major league ball club's request to play their stadium, only to have the Orioles pull the plug on the deal at the last minute for no reason. Of course, we here at The Shallow End Of The Pool know the real reason: The Orioles heard there was a Van Halen reunion tour coming around, but didn't realize it was with Sammy Hagar. No judge in the world is going to award Van Halen any money for not delivering David Lee Roth.
