Monday, June 14, 2004Beyond off-topicNOTE: This is as off-topic as it gets. I wrote it a few days ago, but decided not to post it at the time. But what the hell? It's an off day- might as well post something.I was channel surfing late one night, and I came across one of those really lame "skin-a-max" movies. (You know the ones- don't pretend you don't watch. You may be able to fool your wife, but you can't fool yourself!) To be 100% truthful, I don't watch these things much at all. Sure, the sight of a nude woman will bring my channel flipping to an abrupt halt, but I don't stick around for long. I always think to myself "what the hell am I watching this crap for- I have the Internet for a reason." However this one caught my eye for some reason. Well, the cinematography and the dialogue didn't catch my eye as much as one of the women did. She was a tall, dark-haired, strangely familiar woman. I knew I had seen here somewhere before. Then I realized why she looked so familiar- she was a dead-ringer for Catherine Bell, the gorgeous star of JAG. Now, as anyone who subscribes to Stuff Magazine knows (and if you don't subscribe, do yourself a favor- go out and find the October 2003 issue), Catherine Bell is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. We're talking top-10 here. Women that hot don't do crappy, no-core pornography. Plus, she's a fairly successful actress. There's no sense in risking your career for whatever you get paid to do this stuff. This was just a woman who bared a striking resemblance to Catherine Bell- nothing more. For whatever reason I had to keep watching. I just couldn't take my eyes off this woman. And the more I watched, the more she looked like Mrs. Bell. I started asking myself, "could that be her?" No, of course not. "But it does look a lot like her." Yeah, but I've been told that I look like the lead singer of Weezer- and I'm not the lead-singer of Weezer. I finally broke down and decided to check the credits listed on the info page. That's where I saw them- like a shinning beacon leading me out of the dark- three of the sweetest words one could ever read. Starring. Catherine. Bell. Oh god, yes! I have seen it, and it was good! Catherine Bell. Naked. I could now die a happy and fulfilled man. Seriously- that's it for me. Those 10-15 minutes were as happy as I'll ever be. It's all downhill from there. Anyway, what does this have to do with baseball you ask? Absolutely nothing! But I did find this little nugget of sports-related trivia in her bio: Before the 2001 NFL season began, in a survey of 70 celebrities who had nothing to do with football conducted by "The Sporting News," she correctly predicted that the New England Patriots would eventually beat the St. Louis Rams in the season-ending Super Bowl by the score of 20 to 17. This amazing prediction was made despite the fact that vast majority of "football experts" didn't think the Patriots would even make the playoffs much less get to the Super Bowl. She's the only person to have ever correctly predicted the participants in, winner, and final score of a Super Bowl before a season begun in a published article in a major sports periodical or book.Gentlemen, I think we may have found the perfect woman. |
