DR. SUBLIME & mR. rIDicuLOus V090109

1. PAPER HORTICULTURE was 7-1 in its football picks.
2. Freida Pinto is gorgeous in Slumdog Millionaire. She’d better damn well be considering what her suitor goes through. Hype-worthy story of love, hope, and [welcome] Bollywood cheesiness at the very end.
3. Would-be Senator Roland Burris has the audacity of a young Don King.
4. Porn industry profits are not tumescent.
5. A divorce can cost an arm and a leg, but a kidney too?
6. The pinnacle of modern British cuisine: Squirrel.  Would it be so hard to simply copy cassoulet?
7. NYers have a more palatable, recession-friendly marriage option.
8. The stench of hoops coach Tommy Amaker's aggressive recruiting tactics (for the Ivies) may actually be paying off at Harvard.  That Jeremy Lin can play ball!
9. To celebrate a birthday there's no other steakhouse.
