Napoleon Dynamite Sequel?

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005


Old news, but nevertheless…

08.09.2005 MTV interview

Despite having shot down hopes for a “Napoleon” sequel, Heder expressed a possible shift in the winds. “I’ll never say yes or no to that kind of thing, unless we start shooting it,” Heder said. “We get [the sequel] question a lot, but we never thought about it when we made the [first] movie. I guess it could happen.

“I think it would be fun to do, but it’s just gotta be done right, I guess,” he continued. “Nothing is written down yet, but I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. It’s been more, like, joked about, but we have no idea.”

Jon Heder’s mormon commercial

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

“Apparently, Jon Heder did a television commercial for the website DearElder.com, which is a website that offers a service to help people send letters and packages to Mormon missionaries. If you’re not Mormon, then you might not understand all the humor in this short video clip, but if you’ve ever been away from home, without much money, and hoping to hear from someone special, then you can probably relate. ”

Watch video…it’s pretty lame

So what’s really in a plum pudding?

Monday, December 19th, 2005

So everyone’s seen “A Christmas Carol” starring George C. Scott.

A pretty good movie until Bob Cratchit samples Mrs. Cratchit’s plum pudding and acts like he loves it. There’s no way he likes it after seeing the ingredients…he faked it all.

Raisins + currants + mutton fat + more raisins = trash.

Plum Pudding Recipe:
- 8 oz moist sugar (use soft brown )
- 8 oz chopped suet or modern day equivalent (raw beef or mutton fat)
- 8 oz sultanas cleaned (sorta like yellow raisins)
- 8 oz raisins halved and stoned
- 4 oz currants washed and dried
- 4 oz shredded mixed candied peel - Cut your own or use ready cut
- 4 oz of plain flour
- 4 oz breadcrumbs
- 2 oz almonds blanched and shredded
- the grated rind of a 1 lemon
- 3 eggs
- a salt spoonful of nutmeg grated
- half a teaspoon of salt
- quarter pint of milk
- 1 small wineglassful of brandy (optional)

Mix all the dry ingredients together, stir in the well beaten eggs, milk and brandy (if used). Turn the mixture into 2 well greased basins, and steam from 5 to 6 hours. Sufficient for 8 or 9 persons.

Bank hero gets calculator

Friday, December 16th, 2005

A brave teenager who saved a bank thousands of pounds by foiling a cash machine scam was rewarded yesterday — with a plastic calculator.

Luke Bridges, 17, tore a false fascia off an ATM machine then fled from crooks waiting nearby who had put it there.

He ran home with the device — used to “skim” customers’ PIN codes and clone cards — and called police.

NatWest, owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland — which is worth £54.9BILLION — said they would reward the teenager for his bravery.

But when he opened a parcel from the bank he found a plastic calculator worth a few Pounds.

Furious HSBC cashier Luke said: “I plan to send this thing back with a letter telling the bank they can use it to work out how much money I saved them.

“It looks like the sort of thing they dish out free to bank staff.

“I didn’t expect much but I risked personal injury removing the false fascia and outrunning the crooks.

Man unknowingly dates mom on internet for 6 months

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Daniel Anceneaux spent weeks talking with a woman on the Internet before arranging a romantic rendezvous at a remote beach — and discovering that his on-line sweetie of six months was his own mother!

“I walked out on that dark beach thinking I was going to hook up with the girl of my dreams,” the rattled bachelor later admitted. “And there she was, wearing white shorts and a pink tank top, just like she’d said she would.

“But when I got close, she turned around — and we both got the shock of our lives. I mean, I didn’t know what to say. All I could think was, ‘Oh my God! it’s Mama!’ ”

And his father Paul — Nicole’s husband of 27 years — wasn’t too happy when the story hit the news and his beer-drinking buddies made him the butt of their jokes.

“Dad was ticked for a while and he forbid Mom to talk to anybody on the Internet ever again,” said embarrassed Daniel.

Praying for Ronald McDonald

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Two northern Macomb County women remained in jail Friday after they were arrested for blocking the entrances of public buildings while praying.

Brittany Jordan, 25 of Washington Township, and Rachel Jacob, 27 of Ray Township were jailed on $5,000 bond Monday after they defied an order by Shelby Township District Court Magistrate Michael Osaer to stop blocking access to public buildings while engaging in prayer.

The two women were ticketed for disorderly conduct on Sunday, Dec. 4 after they fell to the floor and began praying in the entrance of a building that houses both a McDonald’s and a BP gas station in Shelby Township.

“We got a call from the employees of the McDonald’s,” Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Lehman said. “When the officers got there, the two ladies said that God had told them to lay there. The employees told us the ladies were praying for more than three hours.”

In the video, the judge asked her, “Does God ever tell you to pray somewhere that doesn’t require blocking a door?” One of them replied, “I never know what He’s going to ask me to do.”
