It appears that our friends in the Land of the Rising Sun decided to make a brief musical video of one of my wildest fantasies. I am forever grateful! Oh mama!

The great New York Post reports that the usual suspects are dead set against a postage stamp
Benny Hill not fit for stamp?
Britian’s postal service has rejected “Benny Hill” for a stamp because his girl-chasing ways are no longer politically correct.
Royal Mail, as the post office is called there, had been considering a stamp to honor the famously naughty British comic as part of group of stamps to mark the 40th anniversary of his network, ITV, according to a report yesterday in London’s Daily Telegraph.
But, according to the minutes of a committee making the decision, the PR arm of the Royal Mail raised an objection saying Hill’s antics were “in direct opposition to [the] company’s policies on harassment in the workplace.”
“Benny Hill” ran on British TV for 20 years — from 1969-89 — and was one of its first and most successful exports. For a generation of Americans in the 1970s, it was the first British TV show they ever saw.
The show was a half-hour sketch comedy, full of slapstick and scantily clad girls (”Frasier” star Jane Leeves was a “Benny Hill” girl for a short time) usually being spied on by the leering Hill.
Alfred Hill, the actor who played Benny, died in 1992.
My lifelong love affair with pretty, athletic young women with powerful legs continues!
I saw this video on YouTube making the rounds. New Mexico’s women’s soccer star Elizabeth Lambert -- young, athletic, photogenic, and a natural heel getting a little bit of notoriety online.
She’s a real-life heel. What a woman!
Is Dixie Carter Insane?
On the November 5, 2009 edition of TNA Impact, TNA owner and bigshot Dixie Carter decided to open the show with a video of a speech she gave in front of much of the TNA roster of wrestlers. It was a strange presentation, as the clearly nervous Carter basically ordered them all to support her 100% and not dare question her leadership (even though her track record as head of TNA invites questioning).
Well that was weird. Who wants everybody in TV Land to see your boss threatening to fire you unless you fall in line behind her questionable business moves, like signing TNA into some kind of ‘partnership’ with Hulk Hogan?
So I had some thoughts about this strange segment and emailed them to Bryan Alvarez, host of Wrestling Observer Radio, and he decided to read my email on the air and address my comments. I’m glad to report that we are overwhelmingly on the same page. Enjoy this brief segment from his show.
Subject: Dixie Carter to TNA Roster: Demands 100% Loyalty

Well, at least most of the roster. I didn’t see Nash, Steiner, Sting, Foley, Angle, Tenay or Taz.
Did you guys get a weird vibe from that segment where she demands unwavering and unquestioning loyalty from the TNA wrestlers?
I laughed when she said if you are not prepared to give 100%, then you will be working somewhere else. I had heard that some wrestlers on her roster specifically WANT to leave TNA but can’t get releases from their contracts.
I’m thinking Dixie enjoys being on tv, which isn’t good. I also figure this is laying the groundwork for Dixie to play the heel owner/authority figure to confound Hulk Hogan when he finally shows up on tv more regularly. Unless it was real, in which case it just didn’t belong on tv.
In any event, it made TNA seem small time to me.
