Fresyes stat department factoid: 559 por Vida spends 1.6% of the year in Fresno, and 3.2% of the year in Las Vegas.
Oh yeeah, it's the #1 Tourism and Terrorism destination for family folks from Fargo to Fallujah. It was pretty sweet timing actually: The newspaper headline read "Las Vegas Officials Deny Charges They Ignored Terrorism Threat"...just as I was about to board my flight. YES!
Celeb sighting here at the fabulous Venetian: Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa. Contrary to my prayers, no one actually heard them fighting over whether to dine-in or go out. Also seen, Horace Grant — not (unfortunately) carrying Kobe's luggage.
Best place for Fresnans to go in Vegas....GILLEY'S at the Frontier. Bikini bull riding, line dancing, cheap beers, and mud wrestling on Wednesdays.
And if I hear another 60-year-old couple look each other in the eye and say "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas", I'm gonna puke in the canal.
What's the quickest way to a Fresnan's heart? How about drinks at the Elephant Bar, a trip to the Radisson Hotel, strawberries & champagne, and a psycho fertilizer salesman whispering sweet nothings (and bad karaoke) into your ear.
This, at least, is what led Fresno massage therapist Amber Frey into the arms of Scott Peterson — and into the Bad Blind Date Hall of Fame — according to her testimony Tuesday as the prosecution's star witness in the Peterson double-murder trial.
While the Governor's idea of a good first date is 12 hours on the Pai Gow table at Chuckchansi after drinking 40s in the parking lot of Denny's, Scott Peterson went the Smoove-B route -- luring Amber Frey back to the Radisson Hotel so he can "freshen up," only to then whip out strawberries and champagne. The couple then dined at a Japanese restaurant and capped off the evening with some karaoke. Frey testified that she kissed Peterson, and eventually went back to his hotel, where they were "intimate." The morbid fascination with this case continues, and Frey, unfortunately, has been swallowed up by this media crapstorm solely because of her horrible, horrible dating luck.
Has anyone else ever gone out with a future alleged murderer? Can any mathematicians out there help us with the odds of that happening?
Everyone, meet Kori. She's half-Fresnan. They're one big happy family, but not everyone is as overjoyed as Brit & Kev these days:
1. Take Mr. Burns, for example. Harry Shearer, the voice of Montgomery Burns, Smithers, Ned Flanders and a handful of other voices on "The Simpsons," acknowledges what we've been thinking for a while now: The show has been sucking for the last couple seasons. "It makes me sad," he says. "They used to have whole scenes. Season four looks very good to me now. I'd rather not be there right now."
2. John Kerry finally answers the question we've been waiting to hear: He says he wouldn't have voted differently on Iraq, even without the WMDs. "Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it is the right authority for a president to have but I would have used that authority effectively." Oooohh, snap!
3. Bush, meanwhile, runs into trouble just trying to answer this question about tribal sovereignty. (This has gotta be straight out of a Will Ferrell sketch.)
4. We didn't want to report this latest celebrity sighting from Café Habana, mainly because we're getting sick of these stars bogarting all the corn-on-the-cob and black beans. But here goes: Jared Leto and Scarlett Johansson stopped through this week, looking very couple-ish. The erstwhile Jordan Catalano was sporting a trucker hat, and Scarlett … well, she's just hot. Simple as that.
