Snow Job

This is for real- and a good example of the fun you can have when you have lots of oil under your soil and make tons of money from it. Winter, in the otherwise arid nation of Dubai. Drill here, drill now and ski whenever we want!

1984- Greg Makes a Music Video! - "Mama Told Me" (Not To Come)

Ready for a laugh?

I always wanted to be a rock star. One problem though- I sing like a hinge, and failed to master any usable instrument in a band. If I had the talent, someone else would be playing my songs on Alice.

I did, however, make a music video. When M TV debuted, they obnoxiously predicted music radio's doom. Why just listen when you can watch it?

Greg Budell's Bowling Miracle!

Those of you who bowl may have never seen this done- a conversion of the 7-10 "split" in bowling.

I saw it done. If you watch this clip you'll see how lucky I was- on national TV.

This PBA event was held in Sunrise, Florida in 1991 at Don Carter's (bowling Hall-of-Famer) Center. Don was a friend of mine (we did a lot of fund raising for abused kids) and I called him the day of the tournament to see if he could scrounge up a ticket. I'd wanted to watch a pro final since I started watching bowling on TV as a kid.
