If You're Lucky


(No) Surprise, Surprise, Surprise


Well golllly, Gomer is just piling on now: Jim Nabors -- aka Gomer Pyle, USMC -- just revealed to Hawaii News Now that he married his longtime partner earlier this month, in Washington state. Nabors, 82, said he tied the knot with his lover of 38 years, Stan Cadwallader, who's 64, in Seattle on Jan. 15. While he declined an on-camera interview, he told the station by phone: "I'm 82 and he's in his 60s and so we've been together for 38 years and I'm not ashamed of people knowing, it's just that it was such a personal thing, I didn't tell anybody," Nabors said. "I'm very happy that I've had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And, what can I tell you, I'm just very happy." Full story HERE.


For those keeping score at home, Carol Burnett's BFF landed himself a 26-year-old when he was 44, to which I say: Shazam!

Security Theater


Wired reports that a young Virginia man who wrote an abbreviated version of the Fourth Amendment on his body and stripped to his shorts at an airport security screening area won a trial Friday in his lawsuit seeking $250,000 in damages for being detained on a disorderly conduct charge. In related news, I hear the TSA is getting rid of those full-body scanners that take graphic images of people's bodies, which has Stephen Colbert and me kinda bummed.  Anyone know where I can get a framed 8 x 10 of my nut sack on the way back from Hawaii? They were never more youthful-looking and relaxed ...
