OMG Paris and Her Boyfriend talking Lindsey Trash Thu Jun 1 2006
From miolla: Is this BHendrix.com or Entertainment Tonight? Regardless, here it is. Hopefully it's not a repost. Some swearing but it's beeped out. This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. The dude in the video is apparently heir to an oil fortune of some sort. Stern goes off about him. -ed
If you have student loans, read this Thu Jun 1 2006
Bean sent this PSA: Student loan interest rates to go up as of July 1. I guess this only really matters for those who have not consolidated and/or locked in a low fixed rate, so act now or forever pay more money.

This week's Top Gear I love this show. I guess it helps that I love cars (and lamp), but each episode is guaranteed to entertain. Features the Z4 M, S-Class, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and the Koenegsigg, back in action with a wing.
At the movies Fri Jun 2 2006
I realize I'm a bit late to the game, but 'Thank You for Smoking' is excellent. Go see it. I may actually pay full price to go see District B13. The guys that star in it are the parkour dudes, the ones that run up walls, jump off cliffs, and never seem to get hurt. It's currently 83% fresh over at Rotten Tomatoes. Any other suggestions/warnings out there?
Olbermann sits at the right hand of Stewart Fri Jun 2 2006
Keith Olbermann takes O'Reilly to task for reversing the outcome of a WWII massacre... twice... and then lying about it. The opening minute alone is gold. The rest is just plain sad.

From JT: This weekend, courtesy of TiVo, We will be revisiting our favorite game of old. Here's a clip to whet your appetites (which i'm sure most people have seen).
I Can't Say It Better Than Bill Simmons Fri Jun 2 2006
From JT: Question No. 2: Speaking of Hasselhoff, did his interview with Craig Sager during Game 2 double as the Unintentional Comedy moment of the year? Nahhhhh ... not in the same year that featured Rey Mysterio Jr. giving a heartfelt speech about Eddy Guerrero at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremonies while wearing his wrestling mask. But when you combine it with the shot of Hasselhoff crying in the stands after Taylor Hicks won "American Idol" ... yes, he's the Unintentional Comedy MVP of 2006. Although we still have seven months to go. My favorite part of the Hasselhoff renaissance -- the thought of his agent calling him to say, "You're not gonna believe this! You're Nowitzki's favorite singer! He whispers one of your songs to himself when he's shooting free throws! We gotta jump on this! I have you booked on a plane to Dallas; you're leaving in three hours! This could get us into the 'Surreal Life' house!") (By the way, we had to recalibrate the Unintentional Comedy Scale thanks to this William Shatner clip on youtube.com -- everything once rated 100 out of 100 has been dropped to 99 so the ShatMan can stand alone (yes, even Carl Lewis' national anthem performance). This will never be topped. I'm calling it right now. We have hit the comedy ceiling, my friends.) - The clips are riiiiidiculous

This is from bordick: Honestly, the kid (#2) was just out there doing this on his own. Notice the excellent form and concentration. Noteworthy is the end, where upon crossing the finish line, our intrepid pusher goes right to the Uhaul for a post race debrief. (Ok, it's not the Uhaul, it's a GraveDigger Monster truck, but it's the same idea). I can't explain the rubber boots.
Of course, Newman (Old PTC) had nothing but criticism. "One hand on the bar, not two. Never grab the bar, let it rest in your hand like a woman's bosom. Lean in before you actually make contact." He marked it NSFW, but it seems like it's fine for work. This may be one of the funniest things I've ever posted. -ed

Santorum Watch: Wasting my time and money Mon Jun 5 2006
Santorum introduces Senate resolution denouncing recent ordinations of bishops in China without papal approval. Can anyone tell me how the hell this is a matter for the US government to take up? I assume his next resolution will denounce Catholic priests for fucking little kids. But I won't hold my breath.
Yes, because the rest of the players committed crimes Mon Jun 5 2006
The Duke lacrosse team will be back next year. I'm still in awe of the fact that their season was canceled and the coach quit. If the criteria for canceling a season is now a) team full of douche bags and b) one or more members accused of a crime, there would be no college sports.

Mid-day chuckle Tue Jun 6 2006
Colbert's commencement address at Knox college It's only a transcript, but it's got some good lines. You know, all of us alumni, we remember being at Seymour Hall, playing those drinking games. We played a drinking game called Lincoln-Douglas. Great game. What you do is, you act out the Lincoln-Douglas debate and any time one of the guys mentions the Dred Scott decision you have to chug a beer. Well, technically 3/5 of a beer. But you seem nice enough, so I’ll try to give you some advice. First of all, when you go to apply for your first job, don’t wear these robes. Medieval garb does not instill confidence in future employers—unless you’re applying to be a scrivener. And if someone does offer you a job, say yes. You can always quit later. Then at least you’ll be one of the unemployed as opposed to one of the never-employed. Nothing looks worse on a resume than nothing.

Bigots on parade Tue Jun 6 2006
Senate wasting time on Gay Marriage amendment I guess this is one step up from shaming China about ordaining priests, but not a big one. Of course my buddy Rick is in the thick of things: Republican Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania said senators were facing "potentially the greatest moral issue of our time" - the "integrity of the family in America." Par usual, Russ F is spot on: Feingold blasted the amendment as an "election year gambit" when Congress should be discussing "serious issues" such as the war in Iraq, health care, gas prices and the economy.

From the home of Diebold... Wed Jun 7 2006
This is all charper: Political tactics in major swing states. There is definitely something inherently wrong w/ allowing a candidate to directly effect the voting process using their current position. Other than . . . campaigning. (Just as a sidebar, Blackwell is an African-American who is the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio. He is currently losing the race.) If you've got some serious time on your hands, RFK Jr. wrote an article about fraud in the 2004 elections with a focus on Ohio. I've seen a few half-hearted efforts at debunking this (some of it is a bit conspiracy-theory-ish), but most of them were more personal attack than anything else.
Help a brother out Wed Jun 7 2006
From ryan: Andy's video reminded me that I will be needing one of those camcorders to record all of the special moments that we won't ever watch again (unless I use it in a post here). I have absolutely no knowledge on the subject so I'm asking for any advice possible. I don't even know the questions to ask to get this subject rolling. I think I will want to record it onto a DVD since there is a possible move coming up within my family. But even that I'm not sure I need with YOUTUBE available. See, I'm clueless. Thanks

BREAKING NEWS: BIG BEN IN ACCIDENT Mon Jun 12 2006
Ben was riding his motorcycle and got hit by a car. He flew onto the windshield and hit his head. The initial indication is that it's not life threatening. How come players don't learn that motorcycles are no good? Between Kellen Winslow II and others in various sports. It seems like something they should look at putting in contracts. Thanks to miolla, Brick, shoof, bw, prommel, and two annonymous people that submitted this. Ongoing coverage. More here. bw added And I thought Ricky Williams was the stupidest football player alive. Mp points out Seriously, who with half a brain rides a motorcycle and does not wear a helmet? This is why the Giants picked Eli. Brick had the best tag: One for the Dumb As I understand it, a lot of actors have it written in their contracts that they can't ride bikes. Most notably, Ewen MacGregor(sp) couldn't ride while filming any of the Star Wars movies. -ed

So for reasons passing understanding (actually, there's a bunch of reasons, many of which lead back to Microsoft), I've acquired another iPod (previous one vanished in an airport), this time a 'Video'. What's sort of annoying is that the clicker only plays through the external speaker, not through the headphones. Is that right? I looked around the Apple web site, and iPods with color screens that are on firmware version 1.2 have that option, but the Video is on 1.1.1 (which is what I have), so it doesn't seem to have it. Does anyone know differently? I don't quite understand the logic of removing useful features for a new version of a product, but who knows.

Flag Burning (desecration) ammendment needs one more to pass It would then go to the states for ratification. I'll leave my rebuttal to Andrew Shepherd: You want to claim this land as the 'land of the free'? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the 'land of the free.'

Feedback from readers after columnist says pro-lifers should support Santorum. His opponent (Casey) is also pro-life, so obviously this is a tough one. If the sole reason anyone votes (or doesn't vote) for a candidate is abortion, their voting rights need to be revoked. After we fix the war, foreign policy, energy, poverty, education, health care, infrastructure, governmental corruption, immigration policy, fair taxation, and the domination of the iPod in the MP3 player market, everyone should feel free to vote solely on abortion/gay marriage/flag-burning. At the very least, I wish people voting like this would wake up and see that politicians are using easy, knee-jerk social issues to distract voters from everything that actually matters. I think others have made these points before, but reading this frustrated me to the point of mini-rant. Thank you and good night.

Would you eat test-tube meat? Thu Jun 22 2006
All Rollins: OK, so my wife and I have this discussion. She's a vegetarian, and I used to kid with her that future technology would allow us to create headless cows that would never feel pain and whatnot, and would she eat the meat then. She said of course not, mostly because the concept of a living headless cow would give her nightmares. So then I ask her if she would eat meat if it were grown in a lab (since it was never, ya know, an animal) and she says she would still not eat it. I've talked to meat eaters who also said they wouldn't. Well lab-grown meat is on the way, so its time to choose sides.

That's how you debate... Mon Jun 26 2006
Video of a minor league manager flipping out, terrifically... money quote from the article: In quick order, the manager: tossed his hat to the pitcher’s mound; took a head-first slide into second; uprooted the base, showed it to Russell and tossed it, a la Lou Piniella; grabbed the resin bag and flung it to the right-field bullpen; confronted plate umpire Stephen Barga and kicked dirt on the ump’s feet; kicked the batter’s box lines; kicked dirt on the plate; went to his knees to further cover the plate by hand; fired four bats from the dugout; returned to “clean” home plate with contents of a water bottle; squatted in the umpire position in a mock glance toward the mound; and spiked the bottle on the plate.
Warren Buffett could give $125,000 to every person (legal) in America Mon Jun 26 2006
From Nate: And he's giving his fortune to Bill Gates. I'll wait for the Mayes seal of approval, but giving money to charity is always good, even more so when it's a metric ass ton.
Halle Berry, you just drained my Monster's Balls Mon Jun 26 2006
The OOzinator This is a legitimate supersoaker product, listed on their website. Marked not safe for work because its gross, and graphic, totally safe for work though, but gay. Real gay. Like "a rainbow bumpersticker on your car that says 'I love it when balls are in my face'"-gay.

You heard of the Porn Name Generator, Now there's this... Tue Jun 27 2006
The Rockstar Name Generator Johnny Chair (for Jay Miolla) was pretty lame but I put some other names in there and it came up with some good stuff.
Not so eXtreme... Tue Jun 27 2006
Man on 5 HP mini motorcycle flees police... hilarity ensues. Wersal pursued Menne to a parking lot where he paused briefly, re-started the bike and zipped out the other side of the lot. The chase continued as Menne put-putted down a nearby street at about 25 mph.
You likey pickles? OMG... This is AWESOME! Tue Jun 27 2006
Best youTube ever. This broad is afraid of pickles. I have looked through this for authenticity and she's either a great actress or she's really afraid of pickles. You be the judge. From miolla. I don't think going on Maury so he can take you to a pickle factory is how you get over a fear of pickles.

Un-Hendrix-like Update Wed Jun 28 2006
The Pittsburgh Pirates have set a franchise record for consecutive losses (12) with their loss last night. They are also WELL on their way to their 14th consecutive sub-.500 season. Not only have the fans started turning on them, but they've started orgainizing their disdain. My favorite line from the article is: "In fact, there are almost as many such raging Pirates portals (24 unofficially) as Pirates victories this season (26)." (temp ed)

AT&T (and what was SBC) have rewritten their privacy policy Long story short: they own your data. All of it. Something to consider if you subscribe to their service. Also, here's an editorial on why that is really, really bad.
Pimpin ain't easy Wed Jun 28 2006
Senator seeks tax on pimps, prostitutes - All Goldsmith (not Hedonistica affiliated) "Currently, the IRS has to prove a prostitute's or pimp's income to pursue a tax law violation. But under Grassley's proposal, a pimp could get up to 10 years in prison for each prostitute for whom the pimp hasn't filed a W-2, which means a pimp caught with 10 unregistered prostitutes faces a century in prison."

Kid in Penn State jersey dancing... Yep, that's all it is. But wow. Just wow. Stick with this thing. You keep thinking it can't get any better, then it does. The ending is just amazing. Almost makes me think this was staged, but even it it was, still awesome.

Cooler than Google pedometer Fri Jun 30 2006
Ants use internal pedometer to figure out where the heck they are. Scientists figured this out after cutting off the legs of some, and attaching stilts to others. I wanna be a scientist.
Conspiracy Monday: 911 Loose Change Fri Jun 30 2006
All Brick - This is actually very well-done. The writer / director editorializes a bit too much, but otherwise... dang. Did you know that a majority of the hijackers are reported to be alive and well? Did you know that the UAL planes that supposedly crashed have been spotted recently (jets with the same tail #s)? I'm curious what Andy thinks, since he has intimate knowledge of jets and their engines... important pieces of evidence to the theories in this video. It's a long video, but worth watching.
