Billi Pod Reports on Bert & Ernie and Other Stuff

Lots of very important stuff to report on, but first ...


What a beautiful morning in The Big Apple==>will definitely be a walk-and-wander day for Billi Pod after he posts for you loyal and faithful readers out there in the vast realm of cyberspace.


With this in mind, let’s get right to it with ...


Billi Pod’s report card on MY MOTHER’S ITALIAN, MY FATHER’S JEWISH, AND I’M STILL IN THERAPY==>B+<==very funny. The in your face humor is spot-on.


The performer, Steve Solomon, takes a shot at almost every Jewish and Italian lifestyle cliché, but he does it with charm, if that makes any sense.


A lot of the material is very profane and, honestly, gross, like his overly long bits on male and female flatulence. Still, he had his audience, average age 60+, laughing and smiling during the entire performance.


Bottom line==>If you need a laugh, see this show. I believe it runs until August 31st.

The Yankees won the afternoon game vs. THE ANGELS 6-5 on a bases loaded HR from Robby Cano, but ...and a big but ... Mo almost blows it again, giving up a 3 run homer in the top of the 9th. WTF!!


WTF is going on with him? This makes 3 shaky outings in a row from the best closer in the history of baseball. Is it just a blip or is it ... God forbid ... a harbinger that he has started down the Posada Road to mediocrity? WTF!!


Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is ...


7:05==>YANKEES vs. TAMPA BAY @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built, with our ace CC Sabathia on the mound. Since this is a Friday night I am hoping that most of my buddies will be in their usual seats. It has been a long time since we are all together for a game.


Billi Pod feels the call to walk-and-wander, but he must share one more item with you loyal and faithful readers.

What is it you are no doubt breathlessly asking? Well, it has to do with the burning issue of whether Bert & Ernie are gay, and, if so, whether they should get married.


Now wait a minute out there ... before you jump to the conclusion that Billi Pod is just making stuff up ... this is from the front page, yes ... the FRONT PAGE ... of today’s New York Post ...


“Sesame wed furor - Bert & Ernie just pals, show insists.”


Yes, folks, amid all of the trouble on Wall Street, the riots in London, unrest in The Middle East, etc etc etc, the burning issue in The Big Apple, according to The Post, is the sexuality of two Sesame Street puppets.


The response from the higher-ups at Sesame Street is, of course ... “They aren’t gay. They aren’t straight. They don’t do sex. Period.”

Well, folks, “they,” the suits, can deny it all “they” want, but we have the word of Big Bird on this issue and it is ... tada ...


“Bert and Ernie R Gay.”


Who is more believable, the suits or Big Bird? Why Big Bird of-f**king-course and you and I know it.


There it is==>case closed. Court is adjourned. It is so Ordered!!


Now the only issue is whether Bert and Ernie should get married. Billi Pod will report more on this controversial issue in a later posting.


Time to walk-and-wander ... so ...


GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
