Tim and I had a protracted argument in the car one time about whether Adele was Amy Winehouse. It was the first time I had heard Adele, and the DJ didn't identify her, so I didn't know who it was, but I was sure it wasn't Amy Winehouse. I hear the similarities, but they're different enough that I was sure it wasn't Amy Winehouse.
Because we are cheap and lazy, we don't have smartphones, so neither of us could look it up while we were in the car, so we just kept grumbling at each other, "You can't prove it isn't her!" "Well, you can't prove it IS her!"
But then we forgot about it by the time we got home, and then it started all over again the next time we heard the damn song in the car. Finally chatty!co-worker asked me if I had Adele's CD, and I asked who that was, and he had to dig up a clip of "Rolling in the Deep" to play for me, at which point I yelled, "I KNEW THAT WASN'T AMY WINEHOUSE!"
My co-workers were startled but no longer surprised at my jackassery.
I must be getting lame in my old age because hitting an 80 y.o. in the face with a pie doesn't sound like fun, even if it is the so-incredibly-deserving-of-a-shit-pie Rupert Murdoch.
I kinda feel the same way. I mean, Murdoch going to jail would be a billion times better than him getting a pie in the face.
ION, Chihuahua Chases Armed Robbers Out of Store
On July 7, two robbers (one carrying a rifle) entered a Los Angeles County smoke shop and demanded money from the shop’s owner. Within seconds the robbers were accosted by the owner’s dog, a ferociously yapping Chihuahua, who so unnerved them they ran away. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has released the surveillance video of the robbery–the Chihuahua begins his attack at the 6 second mark. The robbers flee ten seconds later.
re: Murdoch and pie.
I am ambivalent about the act in general. I do know a whole lot of other people have had pies on them, attempted pies on them, so given that standard he probably was as deserving as the others.

As a foil plate full of shaving cream is unlikely to have caused any actual injury, I can't bring myself to feel too sorry about it.
Apparently Murdoch's wife clocked the assailant. Which, you know, is kind of cool.
"Never bring a pie to a fistfight"?
I suspect that with Murdoch as well as Cheney, their paramount Evil keeps them alive despite any pies or random heart attacks.
