Debt-plagued MGM has green lighted a new James Bond film that will be released in 2012.  The new film, a salute the coming-of-age of the Baby Boomer generation, will be entitled “The Man With the Golden Prostate.”

Archeologists from UCLA recently discovered a 6,000-year-old, fully-equipped winery in an Armenian cave.  Graphologists translated a sign scratched on the wall that says “Owned by Ernest and Julio Kardashian.”    

Producer Ivan Reitman announced that he’s preparing Ghostbusters 3.”   May be a tad too late, though.  Bill Murray will still be in it, but now he’s playing one of the ghosts.

Ted Williams, that homeless radio announcer discovered begging beside a freeway on ramp, now has a job with the Cleveland Cavaliers.  And none too soon.  He was reduced to holding up a sign that said, “Will announce your next dinner party if I’m allowed to stay.”

Guinness has recognized a British cat as the oldest in the world.  The tabby is 39 and so old, he has an arthritic scratching post.

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
