Addicted to Red Bull?

Now, ya gotta understand, I’ve never liked Red Bull.  But, I know a few people that are kinda like this: They’d wear it if they could.  I’ve always been more along the lines of Diana Vilibert, who writes: Red Bull just gives me that jittery, gonna-throw-up feeling Because of that, I don’t think that’s Diana in the picture.  But, back… (more…)

Tired of loving you

This is a quickie shot.  See if you can name the correct song from my misunderstood lyric ( no peeking ): Tired of loving you One hint, it was recorded by Bob Dylan in 1975.  I was corrected probably around 1995 or so.  I like my version better.

Useless headlines – Hayek/Bundchen bikini contest

Sometimes I KNOW Foxnews runs stuff just to get the pics on their site, ie, draw hits without worrying about content.  Take this “headline” for example: Who Wore the Best Bikini on Their Honeymoon? Here’s Salma’s entry: I’m not even going to bother with Gisele’s.  Just put the pictures on there and quit annoying me with contrived “headlines”.  Gisele’s just… (more…)

Today’s creation: shoes and pyramids

I have enjoyed a good chuckle or two over the years over very bad reporting.  One abuse of the English language is the word “creation”.  Now, not so long ago, a creation meant something like: 1. the act of producing or causing to exist; the act of creating; engendering. 2. the fact of being created. 3. something that is or… (more…)

For want of hip-hop street cred

This story is too good to be true, but it pretty well sums up my over-all feelings about hip-hop in general ( yeah, read 3oh!3 ). Meet Steven Gilmore. The wannabe rapper tried to rob a Florida convenience store Friday night and shot an employee in the head with a BB gun in a bid to establish “street cred” for… (more…)

Carrie Prejean’s manhands

First, thedirty.com, with an obvious agenda, posted this “scandalous” pic of Carrie Prejean: Then, the next day, they ran a slightly riskier pic: I immediately thougt to myself that the quality sure dropped off awful fast, you know, from one pic to the next in the same photo shoot.  Now, TMZ, not to be outdone by thedirty, has posted several… (more…)

Forget the dolphins, see more photos of Jessica Simpson!

This just seems kind of absurd. Starpulse.com, among others, ran this article: People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals’ special projects manager Michelle Cho has written a stern note to Simpson and her manager/father Joe, asking them to consider pulling the concert in protest about the dolphins kept in captivity at the tourist hotspot. In the letter, obtained exclusively by… (more…)

Star Trek

The family and I went to see Star Trek last night.  I can’t say too much about it because I’ll immediately jump into spoiler mode and I don’t want to do that yet.  So, the only thing I’m going to say about it is it is the must-see motion-picture event of the year!  All thumbs up, take the entire family. … (more…)

Top Ten Dumbest Teams

College basketball is probably the most list intensive sport there is.  The season usually involves about thirty games over several months, and teams bounce all over the ratings.  People question and ponder the movements, teams claw their way to the top, most often only to get knocked off as soon as they get there.  This past season saw practically a… (more…)

Can I get aids……

I saw a screenshot on Collegehumor.com that I thought was so bizarre I had to try it myself.  So I did  I got the same result.  Check it out for yourself:   Now, this is probably a time sensitive thing, but as of today, if you go to Google and enter “can I get aids”, that is what yoi’ll get. … (more…)
