"Hurt" by Sad Kermit

Since we're on a muppet kick here. Thought this might be appropriate. Not suitable for all viewers.

(editor’s note: this post was delayed due to non-bourbon related technical difficulties)

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls of all ages, today I am embarking on a quest of great significance. I am tasked with visiting the land of our founder’s origin as a good will ambassador from Los Angeles. Not sure I’m the best representative, but still…

In the spirit of Marco Polo, Pizarro and Borat, I hope to demystify what we know as COL and report back to the masses what I have learned.

Accompanying me on this journey, I have been assigned three assistants(image forthcoming).

I can only hope the weather is better than the current company…

As a stranger in a strange land, I know very little of about our destination…is it safe to drink the water? Should I have worn overalls? Who knows…

Historians have made note of a previous party that has successfully completed this journey. But specifics are unclear and when pressed about details regarding their trip, the group falls into a catatonic state and their only response was numerous repetitions of the same word – Smiley. Smiley. Smiley. Smiley. Smiley.

How will our dashing young hero (image forthcoming) fare in his quest? Stay tuned for updates.

Los Angeles Urban Legends

Metroblogging LA is doing a killer series this week on Los Angeles urban legends. My favorites so far have been the LA Coroner's office gift shop and whether or not Jamie Lee Curtis is a Hermaphrodite.

There will be a total of twenty-five investigative reports published by the end of this week. You can find the guide to all the reports here.

Where Are They Now: Clubhouse Edition

As a new feature on our ever-popular blog, we will be catching up with some of our favorite faces from the past and getting the scoop on their current haps.

For our first edition, we caught up with Mike aka Rick and exchanged random musings about the wonders of Flavia and his legacy as a Health Care Hottie.


Who do you miss the most at CarryOn?

Judith.

What part of your job do you miss the most at CarryOn?

Not really a part of the job, but I really miss when I was called Rick. Nobody calls me that anymore. Oh man, that was great.

How has working with ALL women changed your perspective on life?

It hasn't. I still think they are all evil. If anything, it has confirmed my view. j/k 143. ;)

Who are you picking to win the Super Bowl?

Raiders

What comes to mind when I say Flavia?

Mmm, I miss those. I really do. Coffee has never been the same since then.

Describe the life of a DJ?

Well, it's hard to say... but I pretty much travel the world and beautiful women pour expensive wine into my mouth and feed me grapes with all my meals.

Been to any concerts lately?

Yes, I've actually been on extensive touring across the globe and have had women of all sorts pour expensive wine into my mouth and feed me grapes with all my meals. Did I mention... I'm fed grapes?

Do you still consider yourself a Health Care Hottie? Ever tell anybody that?

Fo life! All the time. It's my standard introduction. "Hi, I Mike. I'm a health care hottie."

This was truly an honor. Thanks CarryOn!
