Whither 'Spot'? Whither 'Puff'?

For the fifth year in a row, the most popular dog and cat name in the United States is Max.
This disappointing news comes from Veterinary Pet Insurance, which analyzed its 450,000 insured clients and came up with lists of the top 10 dog and cat names.

The top 10 dog names:
1. Max (Vick did him in a alley)
2. Molly
3. Buddy (Vick did him in a 85 Impala)
4. Bella
5. Lucy
6. Maggie (Wacked her on the way to the Super Bowl)
7. Daisy
8. Jake (Vick went to rent "Big Jake" at the local BlockBuster and tied him to the bumper of his car)
9. Bailey
10. Rocky (Vick had Mr. T take him out with copies of "DC Cab" on DVD)

Another episode of Porn Stars and Improv...

2007-08-17T16:23:00.000-07:00

Kay Parker was a student in an improv class when she met porn actor John Leslie in 1979. "I knew that when he asked me to be in a film with him that it was probably a porno,(What would Del Close do? Hmm)" she said, but she went anyway.That outing led to a meeting with director Kirdy Stevens. Parker talks about her experience making Stevens' groundbreaking "Taboo" series - each title dealing with a different societal no-no -(Thank you Improv) in terms too rapturous to be believed today."There truly were mystical forces at work behind this whole endeavor," she said of her and Stevens' first effort, in 1980, in which she has sex with her son, played by Mike Granger.Over the course of several movies that eventually substituted incest for gradually less-shocking subjects (and modern-day knockoffs only loosely cling to the original premise, with gonzos about smoking), "Taboo" featured career-highlight performances from the likes of Ginger Lynn, Lisa Lake, Ron Jeremy, Pamela Mann, and Nina Hartley. But it was Parker who seemed most moved by the gig (Thanks to her "Yes And.. abilities)But she admits to having been attracted to Granger, so "I tried to infuse as much love into the scene as I could (That would be called being "In The Moment")."But she admits to having been attracted to Granger, .Parker said she was trying to be a "legitimate actress" but her plans got changed for her."I had to strip down naked to begin my journey(Improv)," she said.I do the same thing with my work for Gawker Media.Parker said she was trying to be a "legitimate actress" but her plans got changed for her."I had to strip down naked to begin my journey," she said. (Thank you to Improv)
