The Voices in Frank's Head

Corinne Theile Corinne Theile , who became famous recently for going through LAX in a bikini, is now following me on Twitter. So, my question is: why don't you join her? Click here and follow me on Twitter, too.

Only 12 more hours, ladies and gentlemen. We only have to wait 12 more hours for the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to air on CBS. I cringed a little bit when I heard that they were going back to the same place again this year instead of moving the show to a different venue, which is what they've been doing for several years. However, I've seen some of the previews of this one on YouTube. I think this will be their best one yet. And it all starts in 12 hours from now. I can hardly wait for this.

Hosting the Oscars It's official: the eternally yummy  Anne Hathaway will co-host the Academy Awards this year with  James Franco . The awards will air February 27 on ABC. I'm always happy to see anything with Anne Hathaway. Her at the Oscars is that much better.

$69 Million Looks Tangled , the Rapunzel remake from Disney, had a $69 million opening this past weekend. This is the second highest Thanksgiving opening in history . Of course, with this kind of cash, Disney can now use real gold for their heroine's long, flowing golden hair when they get around to doing the sequel. Congrats to everyone at Disney on the success of this project.

When Corinne Theile decided to protest TSA's security procedures, she decided to do it in the most unique way I can think of. She walked through the security line a black bikini. The whole thing was caught on video. As a result, Corinne Theile has become an internet sensation, of sorts. My question is: will this prompt more women to go through the airport in a bikini? If so, how long will it be before the airports start charging a cover for gentlemen to enter?

Leslie Nielsen , famous for his roles in Airplane and Naked Gun , passed away today at a hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida . He was 84 years of age. I think the best way to pay tribute to Leslie Nielsen and his talents is to sit back, watch some of his movies, and laugh until it hurts. I think he would enjoy that. Good bye, Leslie Nielsen. You will be missed by movie lovers everywhere.

Dozens of Pierogies There is something truly special about bringing a couple hundred pierogies home. I made a trek to Hamtramck over the weekend. I managed to pick up a couple hundred pierogies in several different flavors - apple, blueberry, cheese, cherry, meat, sour kraut, and potato. Who wants to stop by my place for dinner?

Does anyone know where one can find some Quidditch lingerie? The folks at Warner Bros. trademarked Quidditch lingerie for licensing purposes, which has prompted rumors across the internet that such a product is forthcoming from the House of Harry Potter.

iJustine  posted a video spoof of the T.S.A. and the full body scanners that they've started using. I. Love. This.

Another Launch from SpaceX SpaceX , a private company based in Hawthorne, California, became the first private company to receive a commercial license from the Federal Aviation Administration to re-enter a spacecraft from orbit. They received their license yesterday. I congratulate everyone at SpaceX for being a part of this historic moment. I look forward to one day seeing many other companies receiving such a permit.

I love of things find their way into my in-box. Some of them are good. Others are bad. And then there are those that I don't quite know what to say about them. The Cristal Bubble is definitely in the last category. I'm simply not sure what to say about it, except that it is an interesting concept. For those who haven't seen this thing, it's a crystal clear inflatable bubble (13 feet in diameter) that one can rent in the south of France. It comes decked out with a king-size bed, a spaceship-style entrance tube, and a fan to keep the inside well-ventilated. There’s even an adjoining bubble if you decide you need servant’s quarters. Cristal Bubble - Now Taking Reservations I think I would like to rent this thing, if only for one evening. It can be set up anywhere in the region and this some amazing scenery in that part of the world. But, yes, it's quite an interesting idea.

I've been waiting for the Air Force's "MEDEVAC" commercial to show up on-line the way that some folks have been waiting for the latest Harry Potter movie to come out. Some folks might call this weird or even sad. I just view it as one piece of evidence to show that I am an airplane nerd. It's a great mix of science fiction and the reality of what the U.S. Air Force does every day.

The folks at Westboro Baptist Church showed up at a mosque near my house this morning to protest Islam as a religion, before going on to another event on the campus of Wayne State University where they were scheduled to protest Judaism. For those not familiar with Westboro Baptist Church, this is the group that is famous for protesting at the funerals of fallen soldiers. To say that these folks live for controversy is an understatement. They adore  controversy even more than I adore scantily dressed beautiful women who bring me sandwiches. Anyway, the Westboro Baptist folks were in my neighborhood this morning. I shot a short video of them with my BlackBerry. I posted it on YouTube and on my neighborhood blog . In the past 12 hours, that video has been watched 134 times between the two sources. To put that in perspective, no other video that I've ever done has ever gotten more than 50 views in any 24 hour period. This one has gotten almost three times that much traffic in half...

Command Chief Master Sargent Brooke McLean  of the U.S. Air Force put out a video on YouTube this afternoon on the subject of suicide. He spoke primarily to the airmen who serve with him. However, I feel that much of it applies to anyone who finds themselves in difficult times.

I killed two police officers today along with a car salesman, a Hollywood producer, and a kindergarten teacher. The accountant that I stabbed, however, will likely survive. Oh, and I also had a second Hollywood producer falsely imprisoned. And I torched a 200 year old historic landmark in northern Michigan. That's not a bad day, if you think about it. Translation for all of the above: I finished my latest re-write of Haunted House Memoirs  and submitted it.

I finally found Jeeves & Wooster  on-line. (Yeah, it wasn't that hard once I searched for it.) Anyway, wanted to share this with the dozens of people who read my blog. If you like my sense of humor, you will probably love Jeeves & Wooster . If nothing else, it's kind of surreal to see a young  Hugh Laurie  play a character that is so incredibly different from Gregory House, M.D.

SSgt. Salvatore A. Giunta My congratulations go out to Staff Sargent Salvatore A. Giunta  of the U.S. Army. Sgt. Giunta received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama  yesterday for his performance in Afghanistan. He is the first living person to receive the Medal since the Vietnam War. The Army has a page on its web site to Sargent Giuta's story here . It's inspirational to read. My congratulations to Sargent Giunta and his family.

The folks at Victoria's Secret to wish a happy birthday to one of their angels, Lily, this afternoon on their Facebook page. Within 10 minutes of that being posted, there were more than 2,000 comments on that post. Spam Isn't For Birthdays Of those comments, a couple hundred were spammers of one variety or another. Each of them was hoping that people would visit this one completely unrelated link or another to see video of a man killing his wife, a report on why one should never drink soda again, or something else. All of them largely a ruse to drive lots of traffic to a spam centric web site. Welcome to the 21st century, ladies and gentlemen. The spam robots have even taken over the birthdays of beautiful, scantily dressed women. Is there nothing sacred in this world anymore? Anyway, in the event she ever finds this blog: Happy birthday, Lily. I hope you got presents better than spam today.

I haven't watched SpongeBob SquarePants  in years. Regardless, I will make a point of tuning in this Wednesday Monday, November 15 at 4:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon. Victoria Beckham Goes Under the Sea This, of course, is when Victoria Beckham  (formerly "Posh Spice" from the Spice Girls) makes a special guest appearance on the show . She will voice the cartoon version of Queen Amphitrite during this 30-minute special. And the cartoon version of Victoria Beckham is hot! She's hot, but doesn't cross the line. One wouldn't be worried about their children watching this. Of course, I would expect nothing less from Victoria Beckham. Update: Wednesday, November 17 Oops!  I made a boo-boo. November 15 was last Monday; not today as I originally indicated above.

It looks like my next chance to see Gaelic Storm live in concert will be Saturday, March 5 at the House of Blues in Cleveland. I've never been to Cleveland. I figure this will be my chance to see one of the best live bands around and visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Gaelic Storm - Tour Dates
