Web series: “Where The Bears Are” Episode 1

Where The Bears Are – Episode 1 BEAR DOWN from Where the Bears Are on Vimeo.
I love the idea of web series. So many fantastic ideas are getting a chance to be seen by an audience. AND generally speaking, the episodes are under 10 minutes so it’s not a big investment of time to follow the stories. These are tomorrow’s major film makers.

I started watching this “mystery/comedy” series called “Where The Bears Are” and I’m liking it. Plus, imagine my surprise when I realized I know the hot “cub” Ian Parks in this first episode (and yes, he looks just like that).

I’ll be posting the episodes as they are released.

More furry fun to come.

Open thread: What’s your favorite inexpensive wine?

As many readers of The Randy Report  (and listeners of The Candi & Randy Show) know, I like wine.

I don’t over-indulge but after realizing a shift to wine from liquor and beer made a difference in my inclination for gout, I moved to wine some years ago and don’t have any gout issues any more.

So I’m always looking for a good, inexpensive wine.  A deal.  A secret folks don’t know.

For instance, a staple for me is Kendall Jackson’s Vintner Reserve Chardonnay.  I think it’s a good wine and if you look for a deal you can find it for under $10 a bottle.  With about 5 glasses of wine to a normal 750ml bottle, that’s $2 a glass.  Whoo-hoo!

Now I know there are lots of inexpensive wines out there that fall under the, cough, cough, “cheap” category.  I’m not interested in those.

So comment below: what’s your secret label or vineyard you think is a deal?  It can be red or white.  It can be over $10.  I’m just looking for really good values in Randy Report readers opinions.

Thanks for participating!

Are you a “Romneygirl”?

From the “RomneyGirl” website:

“Miss Swiss “Bank Account” hails from Ostermundigen, Switzerland and is the proud daughter of a Nestle Chocolate factory worker and a regionally respected Cuckoo clock maker. She worked as a tax consultant for offshore bank accounts at UBS in Geneva, Switzerland from 2008-2010 where she first met Mitt Romney, who would frequently show up to the bank unannounced and throw $100 bills up in the air while shouting, “Thank God for Amnesty!”

“In 2010, Miss Swiss left Geneva (after safely depositing all of her own money into a Swiss bank account) and moved to Searchlight, Nevada, where she joined a small Swiss expat community of retired yodelers and milkmaids. It was there she bumped into Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid while burning his book “The Good Fight” during a local sheep-shearing festival. Miss Swiss told Senator Reid about Mr. Romney’s tax avoidance “because I thought it was so funny that a Senator would actually think that rich people pay taxes! So silly!” Miss Swiss has not heard from Mr. Romney since he began his Presidential run, but believes he is following her on Twitter @realromneygirl.”

“In her free time, Miss Swiss, AKA Romney Girl, enjoys watching sitcoms like Fox & Friends, climbing the Swiss Alps, making cheese fondue, and listening to her favorite pop band Aqua.”

“Romney Girl recently gained public attention for inadvertently informing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that that Mitt Romney had paid zero taxes in the last ten years.”

Anti-gay construction sign in Provo, UT

Utah Department of Transportation spokeswoman Mindy Nelson told Gay Salt Lake that signs are maintained by contractors who have the messages approved by UDOT.

“The sign was most likely changed by one of the contractor’s employees who thought he or she was playing a prank. A very bad prank that is obviously unacceptable,” she said.

Inquires to UDOT regarding the contractor responsible for the sign, and the department’s response and investigation were not returned as of press time.
