Results of Contest # 2 -- Misguided Celebrity Restaurants
In Contest # 2 we asked you to create a misguided celebrity restaurant.
The entries were funny, so I needed help again.
I brought in Larry Noto. I think Larry Noto knows funny when he sees it. He is the featured act next weekend at the Comedy Factory Outlet, so see for yourself.
Actually, Larry and I ended up responding to same entries, the ones that used a bit of sweet word play to create a downright alarming thing -- more inductive than deductive. Or the other way around.
Here they are:
First Place
Ricki's Lake Trout -- submitted by M&M
Congratulations, M& M -- I'll be in touch about your prize -- "Christmas with the Ratpack"
Second Place
Soleil Moon Fries -- Punky Brewster Cogburn
Third Place
Mama Grizzly's PubHouse Enjoy menu of freshly hunted game while taking in wonderful view of Russia from our rooftop deck -- The Brash Elephant
Fourth Place
Paul McCartney's BeatleJuice Bar Sir Paul thinks he's the main attraction, but everyone keeps ordering the Lennonade -- Zevonists
Fifth Place
Pelosi's Pork Palace Nancy: But we're completely kosher. There isn't any pork here. Really! We wouldn't spend money on barrels of pork. Of COURSE not. Besides, we'll we have to sell the entrees so we can find out what's in them...you know...like the health care bill... -- Karen

WHAT? "Tiger Woods' 19th Hole" didn't win? Didn't even place? Are you insane?

1st and 2nd place really stretched the use of "celebrity". Have either been sighted since the 80's?

Oh! Why are you such a big old meanie? I was a regular on the super-amazing show Sabrina the Teenage Witch from 2000 to 2003.
Currently I am starring in a production of "Butterflies Are Free" at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theatre in Jupiter, Florida. Se y'all there!
Soleil Moon Frye's brother was also a child actor -- Meeno Peluce. I still will sometimes shrug and say, "meeno peluce."

Now that is one of the funniest quips I've read on this blog. Burt Reynolds always equals funny.

RoCK, one of our family friends worked for Burt Reynolds for years. She did not like Loni Anderson one bit.

Doh! I was having so much fun spinning the joke I seem to have gotten carried away. My bad...
