Dy-No-Mite

• The Monologue:
• Tufts University instituted a new rule that a dorm resident is not allowed to have sex if their roommate is present. Each student has been issued a free necktie to make sure the rule is carried out.
• A man attempting to assassinate a Saudi leader hid the bomb in his underwear. The crime could have stopped earlier when the man confessed to a woman he met that he had a "stick of dynamite" in his pants. She slapped him and he was able to escape.
• A man attempting to assassinate a Saudi leader hid the bomb in his underwear. In other news, a Taco Bell in Riyadh was mysteriously destroyed by a man eating a chalupa.
• One more. A man attempting to assassinate a Saudi leader hid the bomb in his underwear. He was trying out a new brand called "Fruit of the Boom".
• Random Pop Culture:
• You have to see the scene in this week's Entourage when Jamie-Lynn Sigler said good-bye to Turtle at the airport. It is a master class of horrendous overacting. Chuck Heston awoke from his grave to see if they could tone it down a little.
• Dexter's back! Last year, the show took the step from good to "best drama on premium cable" through a mixture of improved acting (Doakes gone, Jimmy Smits pumping out some of his best work) and, to be fair, the absence of The Wire and The Sopranos. This year, Keith Carradine is back as FBI Agent Lundy and John Lithgow plays a master serial killer. Can't go wrong there. Few people play the psycho better than Lithgow. Should be another very good year.
• Atlanta, still holding on in the Wild Card race, was down 5-4 tonight with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. A ball got away from the catcher and the runner on third ran halfway down the line and just stopped. Easy throw to third to nail him. Ballgame. Season. How the heck does that happen?
• Random Music Video:
• Fromage! Carly Smithson look-a-like Steve Perry goes solo for this song. Key moment: the 5:00 mark when he says, "I kind of like you, babe." An '80s rock star's '80s rock star.
