My hero used to be Donatello the purple one from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, because he was so sciency and wore purple so well BUT I may have to change it to Peter O'Toole. IMD is reporting that Peter O'Toole, the 74 year-old actor of "Lawrence of Arabia"-fame was so upset at the lack of alcohol at the Oscars that he threatened to leave. [IMDB] Oscars personnel of course told him that rules are rules and he should choose from their nice selection of sparkling cider. Right. Oscar personnel smuggled in a bottle of vodka for the old drunk who obligingly stayed. However, the no-alcohol policy does explain why the Oscars haven't seemed as fun lately. Kind of like that dry wedding I went to last weekend. I too tried to smuggle in some vodka to get me through the night but ended up being escorted out by some people named Cindy and Herb who were muttering something incomprehensible about offending the sanctity of the Mormon religion. Ah well I guess I just don't have the same cache as the O'Toole-maybe if I had tried all of the above with a head scarf and an improvised crown or a purple headband and a belt with a big D on it.
