Mellow Yellow University?

Born-a-high forever to fly… Brain activity nil.

It’s being reported that the 60’s music icon, Donovan, is attempting to establish an accredited meditation university in Scotland, the country of his birth. If that weren’t bizzare enough, director David Lynch wants to help him achieve it.

“I know it sounds like an airy-fairy hippie dream to go on about ’60s peace and love,” said the 61-year-old singer, who was born Donovan Leitch in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. “But the world is ready for this now, it is clear this is the time.

He said the university will be located in either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Donovan discovered transcendental meditation while visiting India and guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968.

“The Maharishi told me during that 1968 visit that I should build a university in Edinburgh. I went to my room and drew a beautiful dome-shaped place of learning,” he said Friday.

“I didn’t know what to do because I couldn’t do this on my own. But then I met David Lynch, who told me about the positive effects of TM in education. Although it’s taken me 35 years, I will do what the Maharishi told me to do.”

Uh yeah. You’re right. It does sound like an airy-fairy hippie dream. And I’m not the smartest man alive, but I do know that from 1968 to 2007 is 39 years, not 35 years.

I loved this quote from Lynch. Cracked me up…

“For a country the size of Scotland it would take only 250 students meditating to protect Scotland from its enemies and to bring peace, to stop violence and drug abuse,” Lynch said. “That is just a byproduct of the students meditating together.”

I don’t want to kill your buzz, dude. If you want to charge people $2500 to teach them how to be quiet for 20 minutes, and you can find people stupid enough to pay the fee, more power to you. Good luck with that, Sunshine Superman.

Is that a magic wand in your pocket or…

I just read that illusionist, David Copperfield, is under suspicion of having possibly raped a Seattle woman in the Bahamas. The FBI was informed and has raided his super sekrit lair in Las Vegas. They took a hard drive, a digital camera’s memory chip, and a ton of cash.

What is the FBI thinking? They are investigating the world’s greatest magician! It is David Fricking Copperfield! Do you really think your handcuffs can hold him down? Is there any hope of being able to keep him locked up in jail for more than 5 minutes while he holds his breath and plays the violin behind his back? Good luck even getting him to show up to court. You’ll be escorting him from the car to the courthouse with a blanket over his head so the paps can’t get a good photo… when you get inside and remove the blanket, it’ll be a Huge Effing Tiger that kills everyone.

David Copperfield is to magic what Chuck Norris is to karate. Mr. FBI man, you’ve bitten off more than you can chew on this one. Might as well just drop the whole thing now.

Ain’t love grand?

It is being reported that Pamela Anderson and boyfriend, Rick Salomon were granted a marriage license over the weekend. Anderson was previously married to the upstanding citizens Kid Rock and Tommy Lee (not at the same time, but that wouldn’t surprise me).

Thanks to the article, I know who Rick Salomon is now. Though I’d be just fine not ever knowing. He’s the guy who released the sex tape with Paris Hilton. Salomon used to be married to Shannen Doherty.

Rumor has it, Julius Richard Petri will be invited to the ceremony.

Pam Anderson, Shannen Doherty, Paris Hilton, Kid Rock, Tommy Lee and Rick Salomon. That’s just a super-virus waiting to happen. Excuse me, I have to use some hand sanitizer after typing all of this out.
