Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Heh, Heh, “pole.” PARIS – A French pole vaulting champion has run naked with his pole through the streets of Paris and posted the video on the Internet, hoping to draw attention to his quest for a new sponsorship deal. Um, if the man was running naked, isn’t it redundant to say that he was [...]
Happy Birthday, Randal Graves!
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Today is my brother’s (known here as Randal Graves) birthday. When we were younger, I always told people that he got the looks, the brains, and the athletic ability . . . but I got the bigger room. It’s an acceptable trade-off. In celebration of his big day, I figured I would post a clip [...]
Manson Family Wants Out Of Prison
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Yeah? And I want Jessica Biel to return my phone calls and lift the restraining order, but none of those things are going to happen anytime soon. Susan Atkins is terminally ill; Charles “Tex” Watson is an ordained minister. They and other members of Charles Manson’s murderous “family” now shun him. After three decades behind [...]
Gisele: Supermodel Extraordinaire
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009It’s always entertaining when supermodels try to sound intelligent. Gisele Bundchen has never met Bridget Moynahan? The surprising admission that she has never been introduced to the mother of her husband’s son comes during a wide-ranging interview in the May issue of “Vanity Fair,” on sale April 7. “I understand that he has a mom, [...]
Return To Ice Mountain
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Well, that was interesting. My triumphant return to the ice rink turned out pretty well – depending upon how you look at it. It was easier for me to just post the coverage in a Good News, Bad News format. (And yes, that is me in the photo from June of last year.) Here we [...]
Link Pimpage O’ The Week
Monday, March 30th, 2009By the time you read this, I’ll already be sweaty. And since I have a hockey game tonight, I have some free time to post some hot link pimpage. Haven’t done that in a while, and Lord knows that my fellow bloggers could use the 3 extra hits that a link from this bloggy abortion [...]
Docs Remove Spear From Man’s Brain
Monday, March 30th, 2009Immediately after the surgery, the patient said, “I need this hospital bill like I need a hole in the head.” Thank you, I’ll be here all week! Try the veal! SAO PAULO — Surgeons successfully removed a 6-inch fishing spear from the brain of a man who was struck while diving off the coast of [...]
Obama Asks GM CEO To Step Down
Monday, March 30th, 2009Hmm, this is interesting. And by “interesting,” I mean scary as Hell. So, um, is this the job of the administration now – to determine when a particular CEO needs to step down? Is this really what we want the government to be doing, instead of, say, running the country? Watch your backs, folks. The [...]
Vegas Topless Revue Closes After 49 Years
Monday, March 30th, 2009Patrons never wanted to ask for “Millie,” a dancer who worked there for the entire 49-year run. Heh. LAS VEGAS — The topless revue “Les Folies Bergere” has hung up its feathers after 49 years at the Tropicana hotel-casino in Las Vegas. Many performers who had taken part in the show’s 29,000 runs since Christmas [...]
It’s “Ice” To Be Back
Monday, March 30th, 2009Well, after missing two weeks’ worth of games, I will finally be able to play some ice hockey tonight. Our last four contests were scheduled much earlier than usual, and since I was working night shift, I couldn’t make it. Believe me, the team was better off for it. Tonight, however, I can get back [...]
