In The Spirit of Competition

There was a competition going on during last week's Olympics opening ceremonies and President Bush had no idea! Author Amy Weiss of Buzzflash.com was scoring Bush's flag-waving performance. In this picture, he scores a 6.5 -- earning points for enthusiasm, and losing points on accuracy.

You think flag-waving was his only sport?!

Ooooh Girl!

Finally an "R&B Song" that candidly reveals our natural carnal instincts. Sounds sexy, doesn't it? My friend Pam Suarez sent the video to me. It's hosted by a website called RunawayBox.com -- and it's HILARIOUS!!

Flashback: A Genius Is Born

Not since "Tastes great, less filling" has a marketing campaign captured the hearts and minds of beer drinkers who like watered down American Lagers. Surely you remember the Bud Light ads saluting "Real Men of Genius." There's a website dedicated to the top 10 commericals from the series.

Home Again; Go Steelers!

It's back to da 'burgh this week to see the fam. It's been a while and I'm so excited! My sister's been taking college classes abroad in Madrid, Spain most of the year. She also spent part of the Summer with one of my best friends, Crystal, who lives in Galway, Ireland. And my brother hasn't been in jail yet, so that's cool. Of course my old man is thrilled to have all his kids at home at the same time, which is tough to do these days. Anyway... updates will resume next week when I get back.

Cat Fights

Did you catch this? From the arena that brought us the NBA's most-famous brawl, comes a bench-clearing fight between the LA Sparks and the Detroit Shock of the WNBA. Mean Girls anyone? And you thought race car driver Danica Patrick was tough at the track last weekend (that video is below too). Here's the brawl video posted by ESPN. Crazy!

Damn I'm Old!

Okay... so this is what news was like before I cared. But that's not the story. The story is Nintendo, 1988 -- the latest and greatest technology to capture the hearts and minds of children around the world... at least children with TV's and parents that could afford the system... heck, if you were even allowed to have one. A lot of parents back then actually forced their children to go outside and play. Nowadays some parents would argue it's not safe for their kids to play outside. Or maybe they like the cheap babysitter video games, TV, and now PC's provide. Either way, our kids are too fat and Nintendo was the beginning of the problem. So here's Fox News loud-mouth Bill O'Reilly on Inside Edition tossing it to the reporter who takes us inside "a world of danger, intrigue, and magic." It's the first Super Mario Brothers!!

Talk About a Roach Bomb!

Need a roommate? A New Jersey man is looking for a new place to live. He blew up his apartment while spraying for bugs. Seriously. The New York Daily News first reported it and I picked up the story from Drudge through Reuters. How it happened, the fire department isn't exactly sure. The guy survived, but he needs to move.
