 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, May 16, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 5I Buster Brock Goes "To the Videotape" Again After an absence of several months, Ed "Buster" Brock is back at the Holabird Advocate. He is also working part time at the local Stop 'n Rob's videotape counter. He recently brought home some of his work. More about that later on. Welcome back Buster. We missed ya! Hinkles Cut a Rug It seems that Mary Hinkle wants to replace the living room carpet at the Ponderosa. Sure is hard, keeping up with the Buckets. Jerry Hinkle wonders what was wrong with the old carpet. Apparently, that make him stupid and insensitive. Nothing new there. Instead of seeing the Highmore High School class of 2005 graduate, the Hinkle family got the living room cleaned in anticipation for the blessed event. Such a shame and Ana Nemec sent them that nice invitation too. Mary Hill have to invite the Nemecs to her carpet warming party once the new one is installed on Tuesday. Mary isn't messing around either. The guy she got to lay her carpet is a real artist. He'll only work on the carpet when the floor is just right. That must mean he's good. Never hurts to be a perfectionist. The Artist will be at the Ponderosa at 8:30am. The time of the carpet warming will be announced at a future time. Those who are invited will be asked to remove their shoes an bow toward Mecca (wherever that is). The term carpet warming may not be accurate, as it is advertised to be flame resistant. The current carpet was installed around December of 1992, back when the Zilverberg kids were about the same age as Harold and Mary's grandkids are now. Seems that back then Jerry was wondering why his mother was getting rid of a perfectly good carpet. You'd think by the way he acts that he was gonna have to pay for it. All of us at the Holabird Advocate suspect he'll change his tune if the carpet is dyed orange or something. Everybody Stops Loving "Raymond" by Ethan Aniston, Entertainment Editor Holabird Advocate Newsblog It was a show 9 years in the making. The very last original episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond is over. The show ended with a thud. A very dull thud. As predicted 90 minutes would be too long to say "Good-bye" to this show. Had it not been for the Sony commercial where the model shows off a tattoo, and an Old navy ad with dancing gals in "Old Navy swim-wear" the evening would have been totally wasted. The first hour of the show couldn't make up it's mind what it was. Was it a "clip show"? Was it a "Behind the scenes show"? It half did two jobs, that I do know. I did enjoy the writers of the show explaining the inspiration for some of the better episodes. Pity that was for just 3 minutes. They did have some good material in that 3 minutes. It's just too bad that the rest of the show was not that good. The last half hour was nothing special. To think they spent a week between illnesses to do this episode too. What a waste of time! The good news is, the kids were back. I don't know where they have been, but I'm glad that they were all found safe and sound. Their brief appearance was welcome. The show's last episode had nothing new. Ray whined throughout, Marie was clingy to Ray throughout. Sure Raymond almost died, but still that was for only 30 seconds. They could have put this show in the middle of the season, and nobody would have been the wiser. Oh well, it's over now. Some folks are lucky enough to get to see reruns of the show back when it was funny. I'd like to do that someday. So long Barones! See ya around if Robert ever gets his spin off! Let's Go to the Videotape by Buster Brock Jennifer Garner is cute, and I really wanted to like her in the movie, "13 going on 30". Her part in it was good, although I don't know very many 13 year old girls that act like she did. A lot of the 1987 action was OK, but the writer of this movie should have known that in that year Rick "Jessie's Girl" Springfield was a bum. Whatever happened to him? Jenna Rink starts out as a 13 year old girl (played with conviction by Chista B. Allen). She wishes to be "thirty, flirty and thriving". Don't we all, I sure do. Anyway, Christa's Jenna turns into Jennifer Garner's Jenna. Hilarity ensues. I really didn't appreciate this movie until the surprise ending when everything just fell into place. The movie starts out pretty week, but if can get past that, it does get better. That's what is playing at the local Stop 'N Rob. Until next time, remember to be kind and rewind.
