Today, a cute thirty-ish chick walked into the bar I work in. I asked her for her license to make her feel young. She didn't have her license on her and started yelling about how stupid it was to even ask, when she obviously was old enough to drink. She then got up and left. FML
I'm not sure what this video is all about but I'm certainly a fan. Nic Cage movies are nothing short of dreadful so this video is certainly deserved. I'm just wondering if Nic Cage was aware this was going on and is just going along with the joke or if all these other actors are just shitting on him and his career. I honestly hope the latter is true.
Okay, so Megan Fox must just be the ultimate fan of the sad and pathetic because, aside from marrying Brian Austin Green last week, she was also recently spotted wearing a Hartford Whalers t-shirt. There has been a recent movement to put a new Whalers team back in Connecticut and Megan Fox must be lending her support to the fledgling idea. Or maybe she just likes the t-shirt. Either way I'm just excited to have an exucse to play my favorite song.

Team LeBron reaches for prominence By Adrian Wojnarowski/Yahoo Sports
It’s clear why advisor William Wesley (pictured holding Artest back in Detroit) has been so relentless courting suitors with conditions and circumstances with which they can secure LeBron James: For basketball’s biggest dealmaker, there’s little personal benefit to James re-signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. To team executives in the chase and those familiar with the dynamics of James’ inner circle, World Wide Wes’ agenda is clear: Get LeBron out of Cleveland and push himself into a prominent place of power.
To be considered the architect of the sport’s grandest transaction, World Wide Wes needs James out of the clutches of the Cavaliers.
It’s clear why advisor William Wesley has been so relentless courting suitors with conditions and circumstances with which they can secure LeBron James(notes): For basketball’s biggest dealmaker, there’s little personal benefit to James re-signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. To team executives in the chase and those familiar with the dynamics of James’ inner circle, World Wide Wes’ agenda is clear: Get LeBron out of Cleveland and push himself into a prominent place of power.
To be considered the architect of the sport’s grandest transaction, World Wide Wes needs James out of the clutches of the Cavaliers.
“If LeBron leaves, Wes is going to get carte blanche wherever he signs,” one source told Yahoo! Sports. “He’s going to have the run of the place, and he doesn’t have that in Cleveland. He has access there, but Maverick Carter is the guy with the keys there. …[Carter’s] much more influential, and would always be in Cleveland.”
This is the push and pull on the inside of Team LeBron, sources say – agendas colliding in self-interest as the start of free agency creeps closer on Thursday. In the end, James is too strong to let someone else make a decision for him, but there remains strong influences deeply immersed in this process with him.
Beyond James’ own sentimentality and belief of staying the course with Cleveland, the best chance the Cavaliers have to re-sign James likely belongs to Carter, his business manager, and the high school buddies on the payroll. Should James leave for the bright lights and big cities, his childhood associates become less relevant, less impressive. “No one cares about those guys walking around in Chicago or Miami or New York,” one league executive said.
James’ friends have had the run of Cleveland for seven years, unchecked power within the corridors of the Cavaliers organization. Around Cleveland and nearby Akron, where they were brought up with James, they don’t need to have the two-time MVP surrounding them to be considered VIPs. Maybe that doesn’t end with James elsewhere, but it dramatically changes.
Carter (left) has counted upon James’ money to bankroll a fledgling marketing company, LRMR, and James’ staying with Cleveland would be worth $30 million more over the life of a six-year contract than if he signed with another team.
LRMR has little revenue coming in, and going out they have offices, staff, attorneys, five-star hotel bills and the use of private jets. For James’ associates, the cost of living promises to be far steeper beyond the life they’ve made for themselves in Northeast Ohio.
There isn’t strife within Team LeBron, but tension? Yes, there’s tension, sources say. After all, Carter has set himself up as the conduit to James, his marketing guru, the man all things must go through before they reach James’ ears. He controls his own people in the media, plants the stories he wants reported. Team LeBron had the grand idea for a city-to-city free-agent tour that had to be cancelled because of the backlash this frenzy had started to incur.
World Wide Wes doesn’t spend the time that Maverick does with James, but he has far greater influence with front offices and teams.
This is the kind of situation you find yourself in when you try to take your friends with you on the ride to the top. I can't argue with the job Maverick Carter and associates have done making Lebron James money. But every company in the world has wanted to do business with Bron Bron. Would any other agent have done a worse job than LRMR has done promoting Lebron? Doubtful. And in that case Lebron wouldn't have to worry about taking his company on the road. Although I hate to use 'Entourage' as an analogy it's honestly just like when Eric started his own management company with Vince as his only client. What does LRMR or Maverick Carter have besides Lebron? Good answer.
On the flip side I'd also be wary of World Wide Wes. Why is this guy so desperate to be associated with Lebron? I get that he's a cash cow but there are tons of other guys in the league making a lot of money. If I were Lebron I'd be hesitant to do business with someone that seems as desperate as Wes.
LONDON — Joe Cooper might want to think twice the next time he’s asked to participate in a bikini waxing fundraiser for charity.
Cooper, 24, was left in agony after an “intimate beauty waxing” event at a pub went a bit too far and he nearly lost a testicle.
“I'd never do it again. I wouldn't put any man through that pain,” he told British media Wednesday.
Cooper and 10 male friends had agreed to undergo the waxing on June 5 to raise cash for a local hospital. But all the others just had their chests waxed, while Joe endured the "male Brazilian,” the Daily Sun reports.
Onlookers placed bids to pull the strips off in the charity event at the pub in Birstall, Leicester.
One of the strips stuck to a very sensitive spot — and an over-energetic tug by one of his friends tore off six of his seven layers of skin, the newspaper said.
Pub manager Josh Adcock told the U.K. Daily Mail: 'Joe's a bit of a clown, he likes to do things like that.
"People were bidding quite a lot to have a rip. I was laughing but I did feel quite sorry for him, especially as we had a disco later on and he couldn't walk."
Cooper wound up at the hospital. "You can imagine how much everyone was laughing at me. It was ironic. I was meant to be helping them — and they ended up helping me. They told me if any more skin had come off, that would have been it. I was very lucky really," he was quoted as saying.
Cooper, who has so far helped to raise about $4,400 for Leicester Royal Infirmary's children's ward, added: "I just hope people will sponsor me more now — because I'm still hurting."
There's obviously nothing wrong with charity work and there's nothing wrong with manscaping but when you combine the two you're asking for some serious problems. I'm not saying I don't take care of what's below the belt but waxing is just a bit too much. Any dude that needs to be that smooth down there probably has some kind of issue. Now I understand Joe was just trying to be a goof and help out a charity but I would have requested only a professional handle my man region. You can just left your buddies go tugging on your balls.

Dating website launches 'virtual sperm bank' By QMI Agency
A dating website has launched a "virtual sperm bank" meant to help users maximize their chances of having attractive children.
BeautifulPeople.com is a site that promotes itself as having "a strict ban on ugly people." Managing director Greg Hodge said the site has seen a demand from members wanting access to attractive sperm and egg donors.
"Every parent would like their child to be blessed with many fine attributes, attractiveness being one of the most sought after," Hodge said.
"For a site with members who resemble Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Angelina Jolie, you can imagine the demand." The fertility program will be available to members and non-members, site officials said.
Couples and women looking for donors are able to join the new fertility forum. Men are also able to register to donate sperm.
After connecting on the online service, BeautifulPeople.com will refer the members to clinics for further information and for the actual donation.
BeautifulPeople.com has been online since 2002 and has 600,000 members
Well its nice to see that people are finally being practical about child birth. I don't even see the point of bringing a child into this messed up world but if I were I'd want him/her to have every advantage at a lovely and lesiurely life. And what's the best way to achieve that? By being good looking. These people have the right idea. They can find a good looking mate, make some cute kids and then one day those kids can marry rich and take care of their parents. It's the circle of life. I just hope one day genetics and cloning will catch up.
"30 ROCK" hunk DEAN WINTERS collapsed from a bacterial infection and died a year ago but miraculously is still alive. His AMAZING story!
Winters woke up the day prior with a bad fever but had gone back to bed. When he awoke on June 19, 2009, he was a deathly gray.
"I was afraid to go to St. Vincent's, so I went to my doctor's office on Central Park West, where I collapsed," Winters told the NY Post.
"I was turning black, and my whole head was swelling up."
EMTS were quickly summoned and as the ambulance sped towards Central Park ambulance raced across the park, "I died on Fifth Avenue," Winters revealed.
Luckily, paramedics brought up back after being officially dead fro 2 1/2 minutes. But Winters delay in seeking help was costly.
Recuperating at his apartment, Winters developed gangrene.
Medical teams amputated two toes and half a thumb. During the past year, he has spent 95 days in hospitals with 10 operations, including skin grafts.
But that didn't stop the hard working star from working as TINA FEY needed him for the 30 ROCK season ender.
"For the season finale, I had casts on both arms, and another on my foot, which was kept off-camera. And (Tina) literally had me propped up on a stool.
"It's gonna take more than a finger and a couple of toes to keep me down!"
Honestly before I read this article I wasn't even aware of what this guy's name was but I'm a big fan of his. His character Dennis Duffy is one of the few things about '30 Rock' that hasn't been spiraling downward in the last two seasons. Thus, they should probably think about getting him some more air time. But I suppose he is chasing in with a new line of State Farm commercials. So welcome back to life Dean Winters. I knew you'd bounce back. Just the way you did when you got canned from Law & Order: SVU after one season.
Today, I received a check in the mail from my mom for my birthday. The check bounced, and I had to pay an overdraft fee. It ended up costing me $20 for my birthday. FML

Sources: Trio talk free agency scenarios By Chris Broussard and Marc Stein/ESPN.com
A modified version of the ballyhooed free-agent summit that was initially suggested and then downplayed by Dwyane Wade has indeed taken place, ESPN.com has learned.
Sources close to the situation said Monday night that three of the biggest names in basketball -- Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James -- met over the weekend in Miami to seriously discuss their futures, with a focus on the increasingly plausible possibility of those three teaming up with Wade's Heat.
Yet sources with knowledge of the meeting stressed to ESPN.com that James, while clearly intrigued by the possibility of forming a star-studded Miami trio with Wade and Bosh, has not yet committed to leaving his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers for South Beach.
One source did label Miami as the new frontrunner to land James in a package deal with Bosh and a re-signed Wade but also cautioned that James was "non-committal" with the start of free agency fast approaching.
Sources said James remains committed to fielding free-agent pitches from several teams when free agency officially opens Thursday at 12:01 a.m. ET, with the Chicago Bulls continuing to rank as a highly appealing destination and a return to Cleveland still figuring prominently in his thinking and with the Dallas Mavericks looming as an intriguing outsider.
Earlier Monday, Fox Sports Radio's Stephen A. Smith reported on his morning radio show and via his Twitter feed that James and Bosh have committed to joining Wade in Miami. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper, in a report on its website Monday afternoon, quoted a source close to Wade as saying that the 2006 NBA Finals MVP "believes his team is poised to pull off a free-agency coup" by signing James and Bosh and re-signing Wade.
Unless Miami trades away former No. 2 overall pick Michael Beasley to a team with salary-cap space, so it can avoid taking salary back, Heat president Pat Riley will not be able to offer the estimated 2010-11 maximum salary of $16.5 million to all three Team USA stars.
Well I didn't see this one coming a few months ago. It honestly doesn't seem like too long ago that Dwayne Wade was blasting Pat Riley and Heat management for not doing enough to build a winning team. Now it looks like the Heat may very well snatch up the two best free agents in the market (while also ruining my sign-and-trade plans for Bosh to the Lakers). I'll be honest and say that a James-Bosh-Wade trio in Miami scares the piss out of me but I'm not ready to hand over the 2011 Championship trophy yet. There are such things as role players and team chemistry - things the Lakers will trump the Heat in. So go ahead and team up Eastern Conference boys. The villain in the third part of the trilogy always has to be the most daunting. And despite what Lebron does Kobe still rules the world right now.
Amanda Bynes Retires From Acting At 24 Radaronline.com
Amanda Bynes is taking herself out of show business, announcing via Twitter that she has quit acting.
"Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," Bynes wrote on June 19. "If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it."
The twenty-four year old has been in entertainment for half of her life, landing the Nickelodeon show “All That” when she was ten.
After getting her own show “The Amanda Show,” she starred in a string of films including Hairspray, She’s The Man, and What A Girl Wants. Her last film will be the comedy Easy A starring Emma Stone.
She followed up her news with a note to her dad: “I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've retired... I wanna thank my dad for his words of wisdom!!!! ‘the truth will set you free’ one of his phrases I will never forget!!!!”
I certainly have no problem with the lovely Amanada Bynes finding something else to do with her life (if she's looking for suggestions she could always come be the Queen of the BYB and live in my parents' back yard) but I wish she wouldn't refer to her decision as "retiring." I think its kind of insulting to the poor bastards like us who won't have that option for the next four or five decades. You know, those of us who dig ditches or feed drunks instead of prancing around in skimpy clothing on a Hollywood set. Once again, it sucks to be us.
Who would have thought that weeks after the NBA Finals ended that Ron Artest would still be dominating the talk show circuit and showcasing his witty nature? I thought Ron might have enough in his tank for a week or so to push whatever dribble of a CD he has out but he's still going full strength. And those pants! Whenever you can one up Chelsea Handler with the dirty talk that's pretty impressive. I'm hoping Ron has something really wacky planned for Thursday to blow Lebron's announcement out of the water.
Brother, sister battle over butter Associated Press
WATERVILLE, Wash. — An argument over butter in a macaroni and cheese recipe churned into violence between a brother and sister near East Wenatchee.
A 21-year-old man called police June 6 to say his 17-year-old sister had tried to cut his neck with the serrated edge of a spatula.
The police report says the sister was making macaroni and cheese when her brother asked if she was using butter. That led to an argument over the difference between butter and margarine. And, then butter battle escalated.
The Wenatchee World reports the girl was charged in Douglas County Superior Court with fourth-degree assault.
Throughout time nothing has been the catalyst for war like an argument about the difference between butter and margarine. You know some say the Crusades were about religion but its a little known fact that the Christians were battling primarily to force a better understanding of how margarine was a superior product to butter. This brother/sister combo just got stuck in an age old back and forth over dairy. I just hope this guy's neck heals before mashed potato nite. I'd love to see that butter vs. margarine fight. By the way, here's the difference between butter and margarine.

Police: Man jumps onto semi as bet, then calls 911 AP
SABINA, Ohio — Police say a man called 911 from the back of a moving tractor-trailer after he jumped onto the truck on a dare from friends, then traveled about 10 miles on an Ohio highway. In the call early Friday, 24-year-old Brandon Farmer tells a Fayette County dispatcher that it was a stupid idea and that he's "holding on for dear life" on U.S. route 22 near Sabina, about 50 miles southwest of Columbus.
The Washington Court House man says he jumped onto the semitrailer as "kind of a joke" when it was stopped at a red light.
A Sabina police officer pulled over the truck and spotted Farmer still clinging to the back. The driver was unaware of the extra cargo onboard.
Sheriff Vernon Stanforth says Farmer had been drinking at the time and was charged with disorderly conduct.
Look, I love a good goof just as much as the next guy but if you wanna do the goof then you have to deal with the consequences. If you want to jump on a moving semi you have to hang on and enjoy the ride until you get to the next stop. You didn't see Scott or Styles dialing for 911 when he was on the top of the Wolfmobile. Of course they didn't have cell phones in the 1980's but I'm willing to bet they still wouldn't have called.
Okay, so the cartoon animal is a jackelope and not a rat but you get the point.
I just got back today from another lovely trip to the Comal River. Beer was drank, jokes were made and I no doubt swam in someone else's urine. So everything was accomplished. I shall return tomorrow with a full blog. Until then wish me a restfull evening at the bar.
It's Friday again and you know what that means - it's time for the BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to pretend you care about soccer.

How Chip Brown stole the Big 12 spotlight Richard Deitsch/SI.com MEDIA CIRCUS
He has covered Bush Family politics, the Branch Davidian standoff, a defamation trial against Oprah Winfrey, and even wrote a front-page story for The Dallas Morning News on the physical makeover of Jerry Jones. But only one story has given Chip Brown a national profile. "The Big 12 realignment," says Brown, "is by far the biggest I've ever broken."
In what might be the first (but won't be the last) example of a fan-based Web site leading the coverage of a national sports story, Orangebloods.com, a Rivals-owned site that focuses on the University of Texas football and recruiting, owned the Big 12 realignment story, starting with its June 3 report that the Pac-10 planned to invite six Big 12 teams to join its conference.
"Its pretty simple: Chip dominated the story beginning to end," said Pete Thamel, the national college football writer for The New York Times. "He's a first-class reporter, always has been, and he used his connections to keep the whole country on a string for two weeks. It was impressive wire-to-wire dominance."
Brown joined Orangebloods.com (he has an ownership stake in the site) in August 2008 after a two-decade career as a newspaper reporter for the Associated Press and The Dallas Morning News. With the Big 12's television contract negotiation scheduled for 2011, Brown said he sensed that some conference shifting might be in the offing. "There was talk at the BCS meetings earlier this year that the Pac-10 might want to do a non-conference football scheduling alliance with the Big 12," Brown said. "The Pac-10 also had a major TV deal with Fox up for renegotiation in 2011. The more I looked into it, the more I found. I think I was looking in the right place at the right time and was able to build my base of sources as the story went on. I literally did nothing else for 12 days except report this story, including miss time with my family and my radio show (Brown co-hosts a daily sports show on an FM station in Austin)."
Well I'm certainly glad to hear Chip Brown has a serious media background because I was going to be grossly disappointed if he was just some busy body UT fan. Disappointed one, in the legitimate media he whipped on getting this story (and getting it right) and disappointed in myself for doing jokes about a story where a dude was whacking in in a cemetary while this blogger is blowing the doors of college football's biggest story in recent memory. So good job Chip. You keep up with the big time stuff in East Texas and I'll worry about imposters crashing high school basketball and dude's whacking it in cemetaries.

Painter misspells Wis. town's name on tower AP
STOUGHTON, Wis. - A painter working on a Wisconsin water tower left behind one big typo. The mistake had Stoughton residents scratching their heads. The new paint job had the town's name without the second T. It was spelled "S-T-O-U-G-H-O-N," rather than "S-T-O-U-G-H-T-O-N."
It turns out a painter from Neumann Co. in Romeoville, Ill., had the correct information but simply forgot the second T when painting the 6-foot letters.
And the name was spelled right on one side of the tower. It's just the side facing town that's wrong.
Painter Mike Sandmire says it was the first time he had made such an error. He added that it would be easily fixed with a new coat of paint.
Is Stoughton even that big of a town that they need to fix this? In fact, why do water towns always have to have something written on them anyway? To tell travelers where they are? The city limit signs should do that. I know I feel sorry for the poor bastard that has to climb up there and repaint the things, especially with the whole town knowing you screwed up. I bet the neighborhood kids go screw with him while he does it.

Al Gore Accused of Sexual Assault By Tiffany McGee/People.com
An Oregon masseuse filed a complaint last year accusing Al Gore of sexual abuse following a nearly three-hour massage session at an upscale Portland hotel in 2006, reports the Portland Oregonian.
The alleged incident took place at the Hotel Lucia Oct. 24, after the masseuse, 54, was called by the hotel to administer a late night massage to a "VIP" client, who was later identified as Gore, 62, the former U.S. Vice President, senator from Tennessee and Nobel Prize-winning advocate for the environment.
An Oregon masseuse filed a complaint last year accusing Al Gore of sexual abuse following a nearly three-hour massage session at an upscale Portland hotel in 2006, reports the Portland Oregonian.
The alleged incident took place at the Hotel Lucia Oct. 24, after the masseuse, 54, was called by the hotel to administer a late night massage to a "VIP" client, who was later identified as Gore, 62, the former U.S. Vice President, senator from Tennessee and Nobel Prize-winning advocate for the environment.
The woman, who says she notified two friends following Gore's alleged groping, also saved the black pants she wore after discovering stains following the session. Since the alleged incident, the masseuse says she has been traumatized, has trouble sleeping at night, and that her work has been "more stressful and frightening since the incident." She is also seeing a specialized counselor.
I guess I'm kind of burying the lead a bit with the Al Gore sexual assault story but it just seems too surreal to be true. I would have never had this guy pegged as a horndog. It was different with John Edwards. I knew that guy would squirrely from the day I first laid eyes on him but not Al Gore. But with his marriage ending only a couple weeks before maybe this story is just an inconvenient truth. Of course I still ain't gonna be mad at him. How did this lady expect to dole out a massage and not make with the happy ending. That's just bad massage etiquette.
P.S. - I wish Gore's incident actually went like this.

EL SEGUNDO, California (AP) -- Phil Jackson thinks he is just about ready to walk away from his unparalleled NBA coaching career but the Los Angeles Lakers are all hoping he will change his mind in the next week.
The 11-time NBA champion coach said Wednesday he is leaning toward retirement. After a full season of speculation on his health and future, Jackson will wait for the results of another battery of medical tests before informing Lakers owner Jerry Buss of his final decision late next week.
The 64-year-old Jackson is the most successful coach in league history by almost any measure, with a .705 regular-season winning percentage, a record 225 postseason victories and two more titles than Boston's Red Auerbach. His Lakers beat the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA finals last week to claim their second straight title, and Jackson sounds increasingly interested in going out on top.
"Some of it's about health," Jackson said. "Some of it is just the way I feel right now. I've had vacillating feelings about it. It's hard not to feel like coming back when you ... have an opportunity to coach a team that's this good, but it's what I feel like right now."
Jackson will drive to his offseason home in Montana this weekend. He didn't attend the Lakers' victory parade through downtown Los Angeles on Monday, instead undergoing tests on a body with two replaced hips, a sore knee requiring a brace under his suit during the season, and a previous heart problem. These accumulated woes and the NBA's onerous travel schedule have prompted retirement thoughts for several years.
After a second day of exit interviews at their training complex, the Lakers uniformly said they want Jackson with them next season, with Kobe Bryant claiming the club would be "drastically different" without Jackson's steady, cerebral presence on the sideline. Yet Jackson mostly has kept the Lakers in the dark about his plans, with even general manager Mitch Kupchak saying he had "no idea" what Jackson's future holds.
"We all want him back," Bryant said Wednesday. "He knows that. I've stressed it to him over and over. ... I don't even want to think about that right now. It's killing my buzz."
If the Lakers lose Jackson, his job likely would be among the most coveted in sports. Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest are locked into long-term contracts with the Lakers, who might have their pick from a list of candidates that could include Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw, former Lakers guard Byron Scott and veteran coach Jeff Van Gundy.
Well, Kobe certainly said it best about the prospect of losing Phil Jackson - "it's killing my buzz." And for a man that just won an NBA title (Kobe) and for a man than ingests more Coors Light than a Golden, Colo. parking lot (me) its pretty hard to kill the buzz. Sure, sometimes Phil's method looks like madness but without him I'm pretty sure this team would have massacered each other. It would have been like Lord of the Flies without Phil running the show. So I think Jeannie Buss needs to get on her knees and get a little work done. We count afford to lose the big man.
Also, who did Jeff Van Gundy blow to get his name added to that story. Just because he and Mark Jackson spend most broadcats polishing Kobe knob doesn't make him a candidate. If anything we'll bring Pat Riley back before Van Gundy. Mama, there goes that man!
P.S. - Let's just hope Luke Walton is right.
Walton: Jackson is 'coming back' Los Angeles Times
If hope were truth, Phil Jackson would be a lock. Look at it this way. An amateur chef can screw up the meal even with the best ingredients in the world. The Lakers have experienced the world without Jackson and the taste was decidedly sour. "We have all the talent in the world and this team needs a coach that can manage that talent, put it together and make everybody work together," said Lakers forward Luke Walton. "And Phil, he's the best in the world at doing that."
That decision could come in the next week or so after Jackson has his usual medical checkup and tests and a few seconds to reflect about going forward for a three-peat. Walton was asked if he had a gut feeling on the possibility of Jackson's returning. The answer came with his big smile before he responded with three words: "He's coming back."
Phillie Phanatic Is Not Phan Phriendly Courthouse News Service
The Philadelphia Phillies' mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, stepped on a woman's thighs while climbing through the stands at a Reading Phillies Minor League game, exacerbating her arthritis and necessitating knee replacements, the woman claims in Philadelphia state court.
What kind of world are we living in when we start punishing mascots for stepping on people in the stands? I thought it was universally understood that mascots were allows to do whatever was required to give us some entertainment in the stands. Now this shark of a woman is going to file some BS lawsuit to line her pockets. For shame. If anything the Phillie Phanatic should be sued for what he did to Green Man. Fast forward 1 minute.
But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Phillie Phanatic is responsible for this man's injuries as well. Or maybe he's just some drunk Philly asshole.
So my buddy Mac 10 sends me an email last week and tells me he has started chronicling our past misadventures. I guess he thinks he's an author now. So, aside from a few factual errors in the story (he had my prom date mixed up with my previous year's prom date and he overplayed how much I liked her), he did a great job re-telling this tale. So I wanted to give you all a look into what it was to be 17/18 year-old us. Enjoy. You may be reading the work of the next great American author.
It was like just about any normal night. I was sitting at home waiting for my number one running buddy at the time, Kyle Clark, to come over for some serious beer drinking and life contemplation. I was waiting later than usual because that night was Kyle’s senior prom. I had graduated the year before and after an incredibly lackluster some would say disastrous semester at Texas Tech University I was anxiously awaiting my departure date for the Navy. Kyle was a year behind me in school and was still somewhat miffed that I had botched our grand plan to live out between four and six years of a drunken stupor together in college. I knew there was no way in hell he would ever follow me into the Navy. The statement that “the military is not for everyone” was coined for Kyle Clark. For a man who knew everything there was to know about sports he had a physical prowess that was easily matched by my 80 year old grandmother. He was also far to congenial and lighthearted for regimented military life and could easily be brought to tears by a mildly sentimental long distance commercial.
Police: man killed by family for watching soccer By MIA SNYMAN/Associated Press Writer
JOHANNESBURG — Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country.
David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show.
"He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday. "That is when the argument came about.
"In that argument, they started assaulting him."
Malefo said Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang.
Malefo said he was not sure what the family used to kill Makoeya.
"It appears they banged his head against the wall," Malefo said. "They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead."
All three were arrested Sunday night, but Lebogang was released on $200 bail Tuesday, Malefo said. The other two are still being held in custody.
Malefo said the mother and son will reappear in the local Seshego Magistrates Court on July 27.
"He was always a happy man, never violent," Makoeya's nieces, Miriam and Anna, told the Daily Sun newspaper. "On Saturday, we saw him the last time at a funeral."
Eh, serves him right for wanting to watch soccer. If you expect me to empathize with someone who wanted to watch a bunch of douchebags kick a ball around for two hours then you're barking up the wrong tree. Of course a gospel show isn't much better. If given the choice between the watching the 700 Club or the World Cup I wouldn't know what to choose. Honestly I'd probably choose being beaten to death by my family over watching either.

JEREMY LONDON KIDNAPPED, FORCED TO SMOKE 'DOPE' BY GANGSTAS! National Enquirer
"Party of Five" star JEREMY LONDON who was abducted and robbed during a five hour ordeal was also forced to smoke dope, police confirm.
RadarOnline.com reports London, 37, was attempting to change a flat tire on his vehicle when two men stopped to help him, outside the Bahama Hotel & Apartments on North Palm Canyon Drive, late on the evening of Thursday, June 10.
Sergeant Steve Douglas, from Palm Springs Police Department, said the kidnappers forcibly took London, driving him around in his own vehicle, while terrorizing him at gun point.
Incredibly, London managed to escape at around 3 o'clock the next morning, the officer added.
"He told officers that he was forced to smoke dope and then purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs," Sergeant Douglas said.
The dope was a potentially lethal combo of crack cocaine and amphetamines, the actor told police. London has admitted to past drug abuse problems.
UPDATE: Police confirm Brandon Adams was arrested on June 11 and booked on multiple charges including kidnapping, possession of stolen property and vehicle theft.
Damn, if this is what is passing for a kidnapping in L.A. these days then sign me up. You get to see sites and get free dope. That's like a ghetto getaway cruise. I honestly wanted to post this story earlier this week but I figured noone would get impatient about having to wait for Jeremy London news. In the meantime it turns out that Jeremy probably made this whole thing up.
EXCLUSIVE: Jeremy London & Wife Both Undergoing Drug Testing, Lost Custody Of Son Radaronline.com
Jeremy London and his wife Melissa have lost custody of their son and are both being drug tested regularly, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. London made headlines when RadarOnline.com broke the story that he told police he was kidnapped, held at gun point, and forced to “smoke drugs.”
London previously had a problem with prescription pills and went into rehab.
Someone should have told Jeremy London that if you make up a story about being kidnapped and forced to smoke dope to explain a dirty drug test then you'll probably be called on your bullshit. Of course he's an actor so he might not be very smart. But I prefer to remember Jeremy London for all the great work he's done. Oh wait, he hasn't But at least his brother has. So here's a nod to Jason London. And to the London parents, you're only as good as your worst kid. If Jason wins an Oscar but Jeremy makes up a story about being kidnapped and forced to smoke dope - you're still failures.
Lady Gaga not banned from Yankee Stadium, GM Brian Cashman says; Mets plan Gaga-themed promo By Roger Rubin/DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
Give Lady Gaga credit: She gotten a lot of PR from both New York baseball teams. Her visits to Citi Field and Yankee Stadium haven't been smooth, but her Madonna-esque attempts to extend her 15 minutes of fame are working: You're still reading about her now.
Inspired by her one-finger salute to fans and team officials at Citi Field during a June 10 doubleheader, the Mets will mock her Wednesday night, when they launch "Go Gaga for Wright," a campaign to help third baseman David Wright get elected to the All-Star Game.
The first 20,000 fans at the game against the Tigers will get a blue over-sized foam finger - the index finger, not the middle one - emblazoned with "Make Wright #1."
As for the Bronx? While diamond-studded bikini night won't appear on the promotional schedule anytime soon, Lady Gaga has not been prohibited in the Bomber clubhouse, despite a report Sunday saying she had been banned following her controversial visit after Friday's 4-0 loss to the Mets."She's not banned," GM Brian Cashman told the Daily News Sunday.
Though clubhouse insiders said Lady Gaga "enjoyed the refreshments" or described her as "lit," Robinson Cano said "she was nice." Her attire for the backstage visit reportedly included fishnet stockings, a thong and a loose-fitting Yankees jersey.
Her visit - which included a large security contingent - also prevented reporters from getting in or out of the clubhouse.
The Yankees said they didn't take issue with anything Lady Gaga did, but Cashman said the decision to let that happen after a loss was terrible.
"There is a time for things like that and that wasn't it. After a loss is the wrong time," said Cashman. "Where a security detail prevents the media covering the game from doing its job, that is wrong. This has nothing to do with her. ... It has to do with a decision made upstairs to let her in and allow this to happen. She did nothing wrong. ... The problem is internal and it's been handled."
Cashman said no member of the Yankee organization had been fired over the incident.
Is anyone else completely over this thing?" And by thing I mean her. When "Poker Face" first hit it big I thought it was okay to like it because she'd be a short lived craze. I didn't know I was helping fuel what would become this fire of ugliness and oddball activity. And she's not talented. She makes catchy music. So did the Baha Men. It's not that challenging. Plus, I think she thinks she's breaking barriers and shattering taboos. I'm pretty sure Madonna already did all that. Gaga is just making want to change the channel. When I see of her videos I'm not offended, I'm just grossed out. I don't feel like writing a letter to my congressman about her. I just feel like puking and taking two showers. Ewww.
And I hope she isn't hoping to make the rounds at all the New York sporting venues. She can bother the Jets and the Giants all she wants but if she comes near a mile of Ralph Wilson Stadium we're going to have problems. The fine, salt of the Earth folks in Buffalo don't need her scaring their children. They can do that themselves. Just ask this guy.
Either way Lady Gaga knows she likes to get sloppy and that scares us
With her East L.A. makeup and accessories, 17-year-old Miley Cyrus wore some sort of skimpy, mesh cut-out leotard top thing with a pair of vinyl shorts-shorts to the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto on Sunday.
It's what all the underage teen pop stars are wearing these days.
From one pop star who is showing me too much (Gaga) to another who is showing just the right amount (Miley). Count me among those who think Miley Cyrus' outfit is hot and I find nothing troubling about it. So what, she's 17? That's the age of consent in my fine state. So everyone can just cool it with the fake outrage of sexualizing a 17-year-old. It's a little ridiculous for society to say its wrong to sexualize a 17-year-old but then delve in head first the day she turns 18. She's a sex symbol now. Why should I have to wait for months?
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not arguing against age-of-consent laws or child pornagraphy laws that outlaw the posting of nude photos of Ms. Cyrus. Those rules are well intentioned and they serve a good purpose but they don't apply as well in the world of the Teen Idol. Not to mention Billy Ray isn't getting his achy breaky heart busted up over Miley dressing like a streetwalker so why should you?
Well I have had about as much of the World Cup as I can stand at the moment. I'm pretty much blaming everyone going nutso over this soccer crap for the U.S. Open sucking last weekend. It's sad to say but I'd rather watch baseball than this. But at least the World Cup gives us the opportunity to have Europeans on T.V. and they don't value our puritanical FCC guidelines. Cue the cuss bus!

Good day for birthdays with a dead bank robber, Liv Tyler's step daddy, a legendary actress, a punk rock chick, a awful horror movie actor, Clyde the Glide, the author of The Da Vinci Code, the former host of TRL, a great cornerback, a yound baseball player and the young man who choked at the U.S. Open. But today I'll highlight the late Ed Bradley. Here's a '60 Minutes' tribute to him.
Now that the 2009-2010 NBA season has culminated with the always entertaining Laker parade (Artest's spiffy top hat and pre-parade shot of Hennessey were a fine addition) it seems like we're going to be a little short on sports topics in the blog. It's not like I'm going to start watching baseball or anything. So here's hoping Vince Young does something else stupid or Lebron gets a little closer to a final decision. But for the last time this season here's an Artest tidbit - his new song Champion. This guy liked it so much he felt the need to dance.
Man accused of snowmobiling drunk in June By QMI Agency
A New York state man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly driving a snowmobile while drunk - in June.
Local media report police responded a neighbourhood in Wayland, a town about 80 km south of Rochester because of reports of a man driving a snowmobile across private yards and causing damage.
Officers arrested a man and found him to have a blood alcohol level of 0.18%, police said.
So when did Todd Palin move to New York? I bet he drove that snowmobile clear across Canada to get away from Sarah. I'm sure there's a fair amount of drunk snowmobiling that goes on each year but you can't really expect to remain inconspicuous when it's the middle of the Summer. But hey, you live and you learn. Wait until September and then fire up the snowmobile drunk and drive it to the Bills game.
Lightning strike burns down Jesus statue By QMI Agency
A massive statue of Jesus, his arms reaching to the heavens, that stood off a highway in Ohio was struck by lightning Monday night and reduced to ashes.
The sculpture, called the King of Kings, was made of wood and styrofoam over a steel frame and anchored in concrete. It stood outside the Solid Rock Church, an evangelical church in Monroe, Ohio. It weighed an estimated 7,200 kilograms, according to the church's website.
The Cincinatti Enquirer newspaper reports that the statue, which had been known locally as Touchdown Jesus, caught fire at about 11:15 p.m. Monday when lightning hit.
Photographs on the newspaper's website of the statue taken Tuesday morning show the formerly massive bust of Christ reduced to a skeletal metal frame.
Well that should pretty much answer the age old question - who is the one true God? It's pretty obvious that God is a Muslim deity and we wasted a lot of good time in Church on Sunday over the years. If not why would God blow up his own sign? To test the good people of Ohio and see if they'll build it again out of dedication? I think not. It's pretty obvious to me God is trying to make it clear what faith to follow and tell the Christians to back off his boy Obama. All praises to Allah.
Good morning to you on this wonderful Monday. Let's get things started with a little BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to mourn Manute Bol.
F My Life Moment of the Day Today, I overheard my boyfriend's friends describe me as the "fat and crazy girl who smells like deli meat". FML
Wal Mart Person of the Day That looks like Zeke's even more Redneck doppleganger.
The Final Showdown I really hate to beat a dead hooker here but as I was posting the Express for last Friday I was dipping back into a bit of the old man's cough medicine and didn't have my wits about me to post the best stuff from the aftermath of the NBA Finals. And I'm going to keep it mostly positive.
Sure, I could remind everyone of Big Baby's pre-game win guarantee (it matches Pierce's nicely) or I could bring up Rasheed Wallace having to be forcably detained from attacking referees after the game (always class Sheed) but hasn't Beantown suffered enough for one year? (plus they own LA all-time).
Instead I'll reserve a little hatred for NBA Royalty and his spawn. Apparently Marcus Jordan (mostly known for refusing to wear a pair of sneakers) was quite upset that ABC broadcasters compared career stats between his daddy and Kobe (which was bound to happen once Kobe racked up this many titles.) Anyway here was his Twitter response.
NO ONE…And I mean NO ONE should EVER com par kobe Bryant to my dad an say that he is anywhere near close to my dad. He’s jagging this game.
Aside from the awful grammar which I'm sure can be best perfected in a North Carolina/Chicago classroom or a house where your father is never home, Marcus sure is quick to defend something he never earned. This would be the equivalent of Martin Luther King III downtalking Jesse Jackson for trying to "jagg" his father's game. Kobe shouldn't have to apologize for others making comparisons to Jordan. It's inevitable. They're extremely similar players and Kobe is almost up to six titles. So Marcus why don't you take a chill pill, strap on a pair of adidas and quit costing your school $3 million? As far as spoiled brats go you're starting to make the Menendez brothers look good.
P.S. - Does your dad even like you Marcus? I'm pretty sure he clowned you in his Hall of Fame speech. Plus I'm sure between the age of 2-18 you only saw him three or four times, you know in between trips to Vegas with Barkley.

God Is Ron and Ron Is God! Part 2
Continuing the trend of me leaving out the best stuff from the aftermath of the NBA Finals was my gaffe in putting the wrong Artest video up. Artest deserves to have his crazy displayed in the proper manner because he was the unlikely hero of the deciding game. I've had a ton of "Celtic fans" remind me this week that I owe the Laker win to Artest and not Kobe. As if I needed the reminder. Anyone who reads this blog knows I've been all about Ron since Day One and now I am vindicated for advocating the Ariza dump. So to celebrate here's Ron's post-game interview where he thanks his hood and his shrink.
On this day in… 1948 – Columbia Records introduces the long-playing record album in a public demonstration at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. 1964 – Three civil rights workers, Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Mickey Schwerner, are murdered in Neshoba County, Mississippi, United States, by members of the Ku Klux Klan. 1982 – John Hinckley is found not guilty by reason of insanity for the attempted assassination of U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
Plus, high looking comedian Jim Breuer was born in 1967 and 'American Idol' contestand Kris Allen was born in 1985. Obviously there aint much to work with there but I found some video of Breuer getting in while filming a Pizza Hut ad. I think its fake but you be the judge.
Tell My How Ass Tastes!
I might as well finish things up on the Laker kick by playing the much hyped new chapter of the feud between Kobe and Shaq. Of course a few years ago Shaq scored a title with Dwayne Wade while Kobe was sitting in Smush Parker hell. Then when Kobe failed to win against the Celtics in '08 Shaq had this tasty insult rap.
Well payback is a bitch isn't it. Kobe is now sitting on five titles while Shaq seems to be hitting the twilight of his career and stuck in a weird Lebron induced Cavaliers purgatory. And Kobe let him know after The Finals.
But as Lee Corso would say, "not so fast my friends." Only a day before Shaq told media outlets that with five titles Kobe would be the greatest Laker of all-time and after the post-game comment by Kobe, Shaq responded with this tweet:
I'm thinking Shaq is already considering a return to L.A. to finish his career. Imagine the prospect of Shaq Diesel coming off the bench to spell Bynum or even better yet, if the Lakers can swap Bynum for Chris Bosh. I'd love to see a front line with Bosh, Gasol, Shaq and Odom. Match that Lebron. I dare you.
Carter (left) has counted upon James’ money to bankroll a fledgling marketing company, LRMR, and James’ staying with Cleveland would be worth $30 million more over the life of a six-year contract than if he signed with another team.
It's Friday again and you know what that means - it's time for the BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to pretend you care about soccer.
