It's a shame he had to play the same exact annoying role (the aging, mincing queen) the same exact way in his last couple of roles. I actually found him quite annoying on FOX's THE COOL KIDS, which had a dream cast, but was awful: David Alan Grier, Martin Mull, Leslie Jordan, and Vicki Lawrence.

Aren't they supposed to, you know, sanitize things? The Clorox Company has recalled certain Pine-Sol cleaning products in connection to a bacteria exposure risk, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said Tuesday. Safety regulators said consumers should “immediately stop” using certain Pine-Sol cleaning products due to the possibility of them containing bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They should take pictures of the UPC and date codes before disposing of them, the CPSC said. Exposure to the bacteria for people who have weakened immune systems or use external medical devices carries a “risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment,” according to the CPSC. “With the health and safety of our products a top priority, Pine-Sol issued a voluntary recall of select scented Pine-Sol products, given some products may contain a bacteria,” Clorox told FOX Business. “People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria. We are issuing the voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.” The following products with date codes starting with “A4” and followed by a five-digit number below 22249 are affected by the recall: Pine-Sol Scented Multi-Surface Cleaners in Lavender Clean, Sparkling Wave and Lemon Fresh scents. CloroxPro Pine-Sol All Purpose Cleaners in Lavender Clean, Sparkling Wave, Lemon Fresh and Orange Energy scents. Clorox Professional Pine-Sol Lemon Fresh Cleaners. Both Clorox and the CPSC noted that Original Pine-Sol (Pine Scent) has not been recalled. The affected products came in 28, 48, 60, 100, 144 and 175 fluid ounce bottles, according to the CPSC. “To date, testing has identified bacteria in certain recalled products, including those produced between January 2021 and September 2022,” the warning notice said. “Clorox produced approximately 37 million recalled products in that period.” No incidents have been reported in connection to the recall, according to the CPSC warning notice.Then affected products were sold on Amazon and other websites, CPSC said. They were also sold at retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Dollar General, Target, Home Depot, BJ’s, Kroger, Dollar Tree, Lowe’s and Publix. Customers can visit pinesolrecall.com to request a reimbursement, Clorox told FOX Business.

I'd be flat broke... I was rejected from a job because my penis is too big A man with an impressive 9-and-a-half-inch penis has alleged he was rejected from a job because they thought he had an erection during his interview. British television network Channel 4 featured the man — Joe — on their show, aptly titled “My Massive C–k,” which follows well-endowed men. While some on the series admit they don’t mind their large appendages, others are seeking reduction surgeries following struggles to fit in among peers and strangers. Joe, who chose to withhold his surname, is among those who have said that their large penis has gotten in the way of leading a normal life, and even derailing his career. “The scaling is off, quite off. It’s thicker than my forearm, it’s about 7 [inches] around,” Joe said of his privates, according to Metro. Joe said his large member requires he wear special underwear with a “pouch” to “fit everything in,” and prevent his penis from “falling out.” However, Joe recalled that his bespoke briefs did him no favors during his embarrassing job interview. “The response I got was ‘You’re not going to get the job, we thought you were a good candidate, but we thought there was inappropriate behavior happening,'” he said on the program. “They thought I had an erection throughout this whole interview, and they were very much like, ‘You’re attire wasn’t right,'” Joe recalled — the subtext being “we can see your d–k,” he suggested. The synopsis or the show reads: “An extra-large penis is an object of desire for many. but for some men, ‘extra large’ seriously complicates their lives and relationships, and penis reduction surgery seems the only answer.” I'd think some members here might offer him a...ummm... job.

Oh, those violent Aussies! 2 men charged for blinding e-scooter rider with projectile potato Two young men accused of firing potatoes at e-scooter riders, which left one person blind in one eye, have faced court. Trent Phillip Green, 19, and Brandon John Nutu Micicoi, 20, are both charged with a string of offenses, including causing grievous bodily harm, over the alleged attack near Mettams Pool in Trigg, in Perth’s north, about 9.30 a.m. on May 20. Potatoes were allegedly fired or thrown at people from a passing car on West Coast Drive. A 28-year-old man suffered a fractured arm and facial injuries which required surgery to remove his eye, police said. When I was a young'n, a friend of mine got hit in the nose with a thrown potato. I don't remember the circumstances, but he was called 'Mr. Potato Nose' for awhile after that. Green and Micicoi briefly appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Friday but did not enter a plea. They were arrested this week after a police investigation which included a public appeal for information. Inspector Brett Baddock said this week that police would allege the “dangerous act” was planned but not targeted at any one individual. “It would appear those involved thought it would be fun to use potatoes as projectiles aimed at people minding their own business and enjoying our coastal strip,” he said. “This so-called fun has ended in tragedy, with the victim losing one eye.” In addition to the grievous bodily harm charge, Mr. Green is facing one count of acts likely to endanger the life, health or safety of any person, as well as one count of possessing a prohibited weapon. Micicoi has also been charged with one count of acts likely to endanger the life, health or safety of any person, as well as three counts of common assault. The matter was adjourned until November 17. Thank God I live in NYC, not that lawless dystopian society down under.

If you're into Canadian Bacon & maple syrup, have I got a home for you! Price: $8,850,000 Size: Just under 10,000 square feet The place A nine-bed, six-bath, red-brick country-style estate in Lytton Park. The history This sprawling property sits on 1.8 acres of land, tucked away on a quiet residential street. Built by architect A. D. Vidler in 1914, the home has its own ravine with 77 feet of frontage and is surrounded by mature trees and lush gardens. A family of seven have lived here since 1966, preserving its most striking characteristics while adding some modern updates over the years. The tour The house has a Tudor-revival façade and a catslide slate roof with faux half-timbering elements. Evergreen and maple trees surround its stone portico entrance. Walking through the vestibule reveals an open foyer surrounded by oak millwork and flooring. The ceilings on the main floor are almost 10 feet high, illuminated by antique sconces. The formal dining room has a wood-burning fireplace and oak wainscoting, plus a walkout to the gardens and a butler’s door to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the living room features original crown moulding and a wood-burning fireplace flanked by large windows. There are two plaster festoons, one above the doorway to the solarium and the other directly across the room, architectural details often seen in revival homes of this style. Inside the solarium: terra cotta tile floors, a recessed ceiling and wall-to-wall arched windows. Throughout the second floor are anse de panier arches with wood pilasters. Oversized windows dominate this hallway and its staircase. This second-floor room has been traditionally used as a study. It has ample cabinetry, more wall-to-wall windows and a cork floor. The den has oak panelling and floors as well as a bay window. The main bedroom is over 300 square feet, with oak hardwood flooring throughout. It also has an ensuite bathroom. This third-floor bedroom has vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring and yet another wood-burning fireplace. At 1,100 square feet, it’s bigger than most downtown condos and could easily be converted into a family room. Down the hall is this more modest bedroom with vintage wallpaper and sconces. The cloakroom overlooks the front garden, is about 100 square feet and has its own powder room. The backyard has a stone terrace and a patio shaded by a retractable awning. And, yes, that’s an in-ground pool over to the right. The garden and ravine are a part of the vast 1.8-acre property. The mature tree canopy gives it that English country-estate vibe. And that flower bed in the middle of the yard has its own pond.

Ms. Horne had faced challenges finding a home in the past, when many Manhattan co-ops weren’t welcoming to African-Americans. In an interview, singer Harry Belafonte said he had previously rented a penthouse apartment to Ms. Horne in the 1960s at a building he purchased at 300 West End Avenue. He had purchased the entire building and turned it into coops because the previous landlord wouldn’t allow African-Americans to live there, he said. Ms. Horne ultimately bought a fifth-floor apartment at the Volney—and eventually four others. She combined the first unit with an adjacent one to create one apartment with a large living room, dining room and two bedrooms, according to Ms. Horne’s daughter, Gail Lumet Buckley. Ms. Horne later bought another unit to use as an exercise room and then one as a guest suite and extra wardrobe space for her many evening gowns. A fifth unit became a private office, where her secretary worked. https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/new-york-apartment-owned-by-lena-horne-hits-market-for-825-000-93794

Irwin family offers proposal, wedding packages to couples at Australian Zoo The Irwin family is opening its iconic Australia Zoo grounds for couples to pop the question or get married. Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler were hitched at the Sunshine Coast venue in March 2020. They followed in the footsteps of parents Steve and Terri Irwin, who met at the zoo and also married there in 1992. Now, the family is offering up the opportunity for Aussies to make the most of the lush grounds and exotic scenery for their own weddings. “Whether you are looking for a small, intimate experience or a larger scale event, Australia Zoo is the perfect location for your wedding celebrations,” the website reads. Fans of the zoo have already taken to social media to share their excitement over the prospect of tying the knot at the venue. “Such an amazing place for all animal lovers to say their I dos,” wrote an Instagram user. “I’d literally fake an entire relationship to have a wedding here,” one user joked. “I mean, hint, hint, freakin’ hint,” wrote another, tagging their partner. There are a number of packages available that couples can choose from for their big day. All packages include a personal wedding planner to help curate the entire organization of the event. The Enchanting Elopement package is available for up to 40 guests and is also suitable for vow renewals. “This is my dream for our 10-year anniversary,” one Instagram user wrote. “A vow renewal and first Australia trip; we’re celebrating five years this November.” The Closest Thing To Heaven ceremony package gives brides the chance to walk down the aisle with kangaroos jumping past and exchange vows underneath gum trees. The Serengeti Safari ceremony package gives access to the African savanna plains where white rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras, and meerkats roam freely. A sunset ceremony and pre-dinner drinks package are available for those who want to watch the sun sink below the horizon before heading off to the reception. For those that are yet to pop the question, there are special packages available to create a unique proposal experience at the zoo. https://nypost.com/2022/10/22/irwin-family-offers-proposal-wedding-packages-to-couples-at-australian-zoo/ I'd only go for it if Paul Hogan officiated.

Why don't we gather them all up and... Dorothy: And what? Build a bomb shelter? Sophia: No. We can unload them. I mean, bring 'em to the church for dessert. Rose: Well, actually, I think that's very nice. Like we say in St. Olaf, Christmas without fruitcake is like St. Sigmund's Day without the headless boy!

One of GREY'S ANATOMY's most prominent members will soon return for an episode he also directed. It was the fourth episode he directed.

These signs ooze Jersey attitude. The New Jersey Department of Transportation is turning heads with sassy and sarcastic ads reminding motorists to drive safe. “Nice car,” one of the roadside electronic messages begins. “Did it come with a turn signal?” it then snarks. Another offers a punny take on legalized marijuana: “We’ll be blunt, don’t drive high.” One message mocks, “Get your heads out of your apps,” while a Halloween missive declares, “Hocus pocus, drive with focus.” The witty reminders come amid a grave rise in traffic accidents over the past three years. NJ State Police reported 564 fatalities through Oct. 20, compared to 542 in all of 2021 and 454 in 2020, according to data. “We are trying a few new messages that are both fun and catchy in hopes that people will remember the message and drive safely,” said NJDOT spokesperson Leanna Nelson. The quips are proving a little too effective at times. Nelson pleaded for drivers not to take pictures of the variable message signs while driving, while NJDOT even tweeted this threat: “If you keep taking photos of the VMS boards while driving we will turn this car around and go back to the old messages.”

This topic was inspired by the death of Carly Simon's sister. Though sad, it brought up this happy memory: When I was a young'n, we had these things called 'records'. Perhaps you've read about them in history books. One day I was at the register in the record department of Alexander's department store, when I saw a pile of Lucy & Carly – The Simon Sisters Sing for Children Originally released in 1969, the album was reissued in 1973 to capitalize on Carly Simon's success as a solo artist, under the title Lucy & Carly – The Simon Sisters Sing for Children. For this edition, additional instrumentation was added to the original album to give it a more pop-oriented sound. It also had a new cover featuring a photo of the sisters. Anyhoo... they were on clearance for 10 cents apiece. Stupidly, I only bought 2, which I gift-wrapped and gave to friends. Because they were both pretty smart, they could tell from the shape what they were being gifted with. Imagine their joy when they opened their gifts, which was exacerbated when I told them what I'd paid. ALSO: my dad owned a liquor store, but neither he nor my mom drank more than a couple of times a year. As a result, we had a bar in our apartment filled with partially-empty bottles of booze. One day I took a couple that were mostly empty, spilled the contents down the drain, and filled them with water. I added food coloring to get the proper color. They still retained the smell stench of the booze. (when I was little, my dad used to drag us to wineries so he could get swag from the owners, and the stench of the booze left a lifetime distaste of alcohol) One of the album recipients was a girl named Sharon, whose apartment I hung out at occasionally. Her mom, Janice, was cool and we got along well. On the day I brought Sharon the record, I also brought Janice the 'booze' as a thank you for letting me hang out there fairly often. She put it away with her own stuff, where it remained until I 'fessed up a few weeks later. She laughed, but said she was glad she hadn't served it to any guests. OLD DAYS... good times I remember!

Carly Simon’s two older sisters died this week after losing their battles with cancer. Joanna Simon, known for her smoky-voiced mezzo-soprano opera, who was the eldest of the four Simon siblings died on Wednesday after a battle with thyroid cancer, one day before her 86th birthday. Her sister Lucy, 82, died on Thursday of breast cancer. The three sisters, along with their late younger brother Peter, who died from cardiac arrest while battling cancer, were the children of Richard and Andrea Simon. Richard Simon was the co-founder of the publishing house Simon and Schuster. While Carly Simon was the most successful of her siblings, her older sisters both found success in their professional careers, making a mark in their respective industries. After making her NYC opera debut in 1962, Joanna would go on to perform in hundreds of shows internationally including with the Vienna Philharmonic and the American Symphony Orchestra. A regular performer at Carnegie Hall, she performed on songs written by both of her sisters, including Carly’s “Turn of the Tide” which was used by the Democratic Party in an ad campaign. Her post-opera career saw her become an arts correspondent for PBS, winning an Emmy award in 1991 for her report on bipolar disorder and creativity for the MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour. She was married to Gerald Walker from 1976 until his death in 2004 and afterward dated CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite until his death in 2009. She has been credited with appearances on The Tonight Show, was the co-host of Ovation magazine’s Classical awards, and was a presenter at the 1971 Grammy Awards. Lucy Simon rose to fame when she joined her younger sister Carly as a member of the folk music duo, the Simon Sisters. The two released three albums from 1964 to 1969, including their debut album “Meet the Simon Sisters” which contains “Winkin’, Blinkin’ And Nod” the duo’s hottest single that reach 73 on the Billboard Hot 100. After a few years away from music, Lucy Simon returned with two solo albums. She won two Grammy awards in the 1980s, for her work on “In Harmony: A Sesame Street Record” and “In Harmony 2.” After her singing career, Lucy Simon became a Broadway composer, making her debut with “The Secret Garden”, which received a 1991 Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score and a nomination for the 1991 Drama Desk for Outstanding Music. Lucy leaves behind her husband David Levine, two children, and four grandchildren along with her sister, Carly.
