Lunchtime for Charu

My spywitnesses over at Tupelo Honey tell me that Cherub Charu stopped in for lunch Thursday afternoon. Charu’s chauffeur, a local television station photographer, parked in a no-parking zone along Pritchard Park while Charu dashed in to make her order.

Let me go off on a tangent for a minute – I hate it when the TV people do that shit. Park in no-parking zones. Double park. Pull right up to the front door and park. Who the hell do you think you are? Just because you’ve got a camera gives you the right for free parking all over town? Just because you’re on TV, you better than the rest of us who have to find lawful parking?

You guys break the law every day, and nobody says a word because you’re the TV people. That shit really pisses me off.

OK, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest …

Charu waited for a good 15 minutes, we are told. We hope she ordered our favorite – the Tupelo burger, with that gooey cheese and lots of fries. Take all that pre-wedding stress out on that chunk o’meat, babe. Charu looked classy in her peach suit, according to the onlookers.

Sign this

What was up with that bullshit sign language Tammy and Darcel pulled Thursday night? (I think it was Tammy and Darcel. I look away for one minute, and there they go again.)

Where are they now?

Whatever happened to Jason “Boy Wonder” Boyer, WLOS weather personality for about two seconds?

Boyer had a mouthful of metal and looked to be all of about 15, yet there he was, giving us the weather report every night. Had he even graduated high school yet? We think not.

Actually, the Boy Wonder jumped around a little, to Chattanooga and now Denver, according to the latest I could find on the Web. He’s looking much older now. Which is to say, he looks about 20.

Here’s Boyer:

“When I’m not tracking storms or forecasting, I like to relax at home & play the guitar, or spend time outdoors hiking. I also love sports, especially watching my Alma Mater, the Fighting Illini basketball team-GO ILLINI!! A good pick-up game of basketball or tennis is fun, but I try to enjoy 18 holes of golf as much as the weather will allow. I’m happy to be making WB2 & Colorado my home.”

Boyer, all I’ve got to say is: HOW ‘BOUT THEM HEELS?! (helz ya)

    I think Jason was great when he was here. I met him out on the town once and he made my day, talking to me for over an hour. Getting to know him was a real treat. He’s smart and obviously ambitious. I hope he comes back and takes over for Mike at channel 13! So what if he looks young, that’s the best thing that could happen to anybody…especially in TV. If not Asheville or Denver, then New York or L.A. for him. We miss you Jason !!!
