Bulldog on barbecue

Here’s more on Bulldog’s take on the Great Barbecue Debate:

Interesting debate on the merits of Eastern vs. Western barbecue. But what it comes down to is that either style beats hell out of tofu. Now, don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t deny anyone the right to eat vegetables as a sole source of food. If you want to call yourself a “vegan” and put low-cal dressing on a bowl of stuff that looks like it was prepared with a weed-eater, that’s OK with me.

But when the buffet opens, I’ll be in the line marked “Predators.” I didn’t spend all these years working my way up the food chain to eat soyburgers.

‘Shut up!’

John “Punnyman” Le dives into a report about a local cattle call as he reads lines with an aspiring actress. In the scene, Le starts off, then is interrupted: “Shut up. Shut up, you smutpile!”

No truer words have been spoken.

Whatever happened to…

Kathy Scott. Kathy was a perky local TV news reader who won a regional Emmy after being in the right place at the right time.

Kathy was visiting New York and the set of “Good Morning America” for some lame report when she ran into the biggest story of her life – the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. She did reports with the tower debris in the background, then returned for a series on Ashvegas connections to New York with the terrorist attack as the news hook. Scott shot video herself and slept on a friend’s floor because WLOS didn’t want to pay big bucks for her trip.

Kathy’s reports, dubbed “Return to Ground Zero,” was up against a story done by a team of 16 from Atlanta, and she won.

Kathy, who got engaged to a Grove Park Inn chef, moved on to WBTV in Charlotte briefly, then dropped off the airwaves. Anyone know what happened to her?
