This weekend is the famous Virginia Gold Cup Steeple chase. Next year this reporter will be live with his Seersucker’s suit chasing well dressed hammered southern tail. Like Charlie Murphy said in his famous “True Hollywood Stories,” I am a perpetual line crosser. When I rub mud on Mighty’s couch, he had to sort me out. Will I rub mud onto his couch again?? Yeah. Should I expect to be corrected? Yeah. That’s the life of a perpetual line crosser.

The effectiveness of Cheers and Jeers was demonstrated in studies of men, aged 18 to 41, with mild to moderate hair loss at the top and middle front of the head. There is not sufficient evidence that Cheers and Jeers works for receding hairlines at the temples.

Cheers and Jeers is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.

In clinical studies for Cheers and Jeers, a small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away in men who stopped taking Cheers and Jeers because of them.

Onto the True Hollywood stories…

Cheers: To the Golden State Warriors who man-handled the Mavericks last night. They out-worked, out-scrapped, and outperformed a 60 win club. SMACK

Jeers: To the boring NBA playoff series that hold up enjoyment of the next round. I am so bored with the Utah Jizz, the Rockets, the Toronto Raptors, and NJ Nets. Somebody please win already!!!

Cheers: Bulls vs. Pistons

Jeers: To the ejection of the Jackson in Game 5 at Dallas. He did the best thing and got back at the refs and the Mavs with his 3 point shooting in Game 6. Well done. I love it revenge… it’s a dish best served cold.

Cheers: To the lovely spring day outside… tonight it’s time to grill some burgers. “Assemble your crew… I’ll be outside”
