Abbey Road
Not sure exactly who Abbey Clancy is, but now I know that I should start caring. Giggity!
- Julie Roehm, former rock star CMO and 2006 Grambo’s Gals Finalist, is once again back in the news now that Wal-Mart has filed a countersuit against Roehm’s wrongful dismissal suit. While there’s no denying that there was some inappropriate email action going down between Roehm and one of her (male) subordinates, your Uncle Grambo still thinks that Wal-Mart is the villian in this story. Not just because Roehm is a hottie, either. Rather, because it seems to this observer that Wal-Mart’s corporate ethics policy seems to be unnecessarily stingy (much like it was when I was at GM). [via Gawker]
- While these pics of Katherine Heigl picking a wedgie are pretty disheartening (in that it brings her back down to Earth from her orbit in the Fantasy Vixen Supreme solar system), it ain’t gonna stop her from becoming America’s Next Top Sweetheart™.
- James Murphy really digs the drugs, eh? I say no biggs, esp. if continuing to live in a state of chemical complicity allows him to make another “Sound Of Silver.”
- Is this really what Rufus meant when he sang “My phone’s on vibrate for you”? (NSFDubs)
- Best random Nintendo reset evs? It comes courtesy of a song that’s been getting a lot of spins in your Uncle Grambo’s iPod of late. The song in question is the long-forgotten “Shuffle It All” by Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds, which just so happens to be one of the most underrated jawns from the early `90s. What raises the song from merely good to all-time best evs is the fact that it resets Dr. Mario (” My woman playing Dr. Mario / On the TV all night long”), easily the best 2 player game in the history of Nintendo.
- Lindsayism is right. This IS bullshit.
- Leafblower is right, too. Both Record Reviews and Send Me Dead Flowers are bringing all sorts of A-Game back to The Blogosphere™. Helmed by The Gorilla and Kegzies, respectively, it’s like it’s 2004 all ovah again up in this bitch. BRAVO!

That incredible looking specimen dates one of the most horrific looking males to strut his stuff on the Soccer field. His name is Peter Crouch, and he is England’s version of Manute Bol. I think he is just useless on the pitch, but Liverpool fans claim him to be the second coming.

30 lines for Murphy’s 30th…damn he’s setting the bar high for us old guy’s..not sure if my new teflon septum is up to the challenge…. Shuffle It All a rip off or a homage to the Glimmer Twins (thats Mick & Keith for you K-Fed fans) but still a great song.

Thanks for the buzz Uncle G.
Everyone I know that worked with Mrs. Roehm describes her as a blame shifting, credit stealing ladder climber — and those are the people that like her. She got in over her head in Arkansas and didn’t have an escape hatch as she did in her Ford and Chrysler days.
Perhaps she began believing her personally employed publicist’s press releases… a big no, no if you are scamming people. Wal-mart may be conservative and evil, but they aren’t stupid. As a friend of the Mart once said, “fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”

Shuffle it all, good call. As far as I know, the only dinger from Izzy post-guns, but also the only dinger from any GNR alum post-guns. Maybe a stones rip/homage? but the song has the heart that the stones have lacked in the modern age, exception being 1998’s “Saint of Me”
