I went to the Sport Clips in Lombard (The Lilac Village) to get my haircut today. They are loyal Steve Dahl Show sponsors, and I needed a haircut, so as Buzz would say, “Goilla!” I have killed the two proverbial birds with one haircut. And speaking of haircuts: What’s the deal with all Brant Miller all the time? He’s on Channel 5, he’s in the Sun Times, they play his reports during White Sox, Bears, and Blackhawks games, and now he has his own morning radio show too. Brant’s wife is an agent, so I guess she must be a good one, cuz that’s one dude who should just stick with one job and try to perfect it.

I feel bad for all of the people who are left holding ATA tickets. At least they waited until after Spring Break to pull the plug. I have flown ATA several times. Once, I had to hit the flight attendant with my ticket wallet because she wouldn’t listen to me. I bought two seats for myself (pre-sobriety days) and the flight was full. There was a woman they wanted to board on the flight since it was Christmas Eve, and they brought her to my empty seat. I refused to let them seat anyone there since I had paid for the seat to remain empty. As you can imagine, I was a very unpopular fat guy on that flight.

How about that Jerry Seinfeld? Only he could flip a 1967 Fiat in the Hamptons, be lauded as a hero, and get what I’m sure is a killer comedy bit out of it. That guy could step into a pile of dog crap and come out smelling like a rose. I guess the regular brakes failed so he hit the emergency brake, did some sort of evasive maneuver avoiding a busy highway, and saved countless lives. I didn’t know that the emergency brake was really for “emergency” stopping. I just thought it was for “parking on a hill,” but that was too many letters to put on the pedal. Why, there’s a Fiat crash joke right there.
