Decongestant, Darcel
Diva Darcel sounded and looked like crap Wednesday night at 11. Serious cold. Some effed-up eye makeup. Stay home, girl. You need the rest.

That’s some hair, Lar
Let’s all welcome Larry Blunt to Ashvegas. Larry and his hair.

Hey Lar, is that a toup you got sitting on your head? ‘Cause that is some kind of funky part you’ve got going on. It’s OK; Darcel’s wearing some fake hair, too.

I know – we could hold a First Annual Weave-Off. I’ll pay for the fine Korean hair. You guys model. Readers vote. Or we could get you your weaves, then put you out on Pack Square and blast you with some giant fans. Whoever’s hair stays put the longest wins.

WLOS sets new record

I think WLOS set a new record Tuesday night – I clocked about 8 minutes worth of local news at the top of the broadcast. Incredible! Usually, we get a couple of headlines, Julie’s weather blunder and then it’s off to Afghanistan or some amazing video of a car crash in California. Guess the hurricane story really has some legs.

Le deals some Blackjack
WLOS welcomed back Jon “Punnyman” Le Wednesday night, and thank goodness he didn’t disappoint. We were going into pun withdrawal here. Le featured a knife thrower nicknamed Blackjack who will be competing in a knife-throwing competition soon.

Best bit was Le standing beside one of Blackjack’s wooden targets, talking, as Blackjack fired home the knives. Cool.
