Since early 2006, Apple has been paying Justin Long to lie about Macintosh and Windows computers in its commercials. He’s also an actor and is starring in the upcoming movie Live Free or Die Hard (2007) with Bruce Willis and Kevin Smith.
Origin of our 1980s catchphrase “Razzmatazz”
Many moons ago…..episode 18 to be exact, we recounted a tale of elementary school, where we kept saying the word “Razzmatazz.” It eventually became our own little catchphrase, such as other 1980s words as dude, rad, gnarley, etc. Well, with a little research, we think we’ve narrowed down the most widely used instances of “Razzmatazz.” But which one was where we got it from????
A) The song Razzmatazz by the English rock band Pulp in 1993?
B) A disco club in Barcelona, Spain (www.salarazzmatazz.com)?
C) A painting by Roy Lichtenstein?
D) 1977-1982 children’s program hosted by Brian Tochi from Revenge of the Nerds?
E) Raspberry flavored Schnapps, made by DeKuyper Co?
F) Crayola crayon color, chosen in 1993 as a part of the Name The New Colors Contest?
G) British 1981-1987 music television show, hosted by Alistair Pirrie and Lisa Stansfield?
H) A Barbershop Quartet singing group (www.razzmatazz.org)?
George Lucas
Instead of moving on and making new movies, George Lucas continually tinkers with the original Star Wars trilogy and re-releases them on home video and in theaters every few years.
Dr. Phil
Dr. Phil McGraw is a clinical psychologist and hosts his own TV talk show. He also has his own line of weight-loss shakes and energy bars called Shape Up, which is interesting because he is nowhere near being in good physical shape.
Check out a photo of the dueling Dr. Phils and listen to episode 100 for clips from their new album!

Real News articles on the subject…..
Goofy blogs and other sites devoted to this….
NPR article on the original The Omen film starring Gregory Peck, David Warner and Lee Remick (directed by Richard Donner), and the upcoming new film starring Liev Schreiber, Julia Stiles and Mia Farrow (directed by John Moore) which premieres tomorrow.
Now I happen to really like several of John Moore’s movies such as Behind Enemy Lines and Flight of the Phoenix but I’ll pass on this one.
Good Omen……..
