Dragon's Breath, F-18s, Poetry and All That Jazz

A variant on my original Things that Grind My Gears post happened today.

I was all ready to lay out why I think that the Charlie Sheen stuff is overplayed (My first clue: Rex Murphy's column where he tries to link Sheen's actions to the success of Two and a Half Men. Sheen's current antics came to light well after (a) Sheen was getting paid his significant salary for the show and (b) the show becoming a smash hit; any substantive attempts to link Charlie Sheen the person to Charlie Harper the TV character are very much hindsight being 20/20 here.)

But then I read this: Mark Cuban, Charlie Sheen in talks. Apparently they are discussing putting together some sort of TV show, whether it be a reality show, or a talk show, or something. And the first thought that entered my head was "AWESOME".

So I guess he isn't overplayed after all.

(In passing, I present Live the Sheen Dream, a Charlie Sheen random quote generator.)
