Family Finds Raw Meat Instead Of iPod Inside Sealed Box

tender This is possibly the worst ad campaign by the Meat Industry Association of America ever. Back in 2000, they dropped meat products from helicopters all over Manhattan, and last year, they put raw meat under every seat at the Super Bowl. This has to stop.

Chart of the Michigan/Nebraska final play (.pdf)

If they drew all of the Nebraska sideline players, it would look like a big, delicious plate of spaghetti.

“Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job” voted Dubya’s most memorable phrase of 2005

My fave was “Those who enter the country illegally violate the law”, but 2005 was kind of a slow year, compared to “Fool me once…” and other classics of the past.

Illinois basketball fans duped by really bogus tickets

Not only were there no seats listed on the tickets, but each had “Illinios” on there twice, and there are no seats in the arena even close to the $50 face value. As if it wasn’t bad enough watching your national runner-up turn into a practice squad in the off-season, you lose 50 bucks and don’t even get to see them play.

Best Names in College Basketball

Those are pretty good, but these are better.

Rondo permalink

You may not realize it, but the word “rondo” has a bunch of different meanings. Other than ma boy Rajon, I can’t explain why any of them use the word:
jambo, rondo
Rajon Rondo - we’d be lost without him.for ma booty

Rondo chair - I really want this for my room

Rondo products - the Kombi 3k is awesome.

Steve Howe: Guitar Rondo - he sure is!

Rondo music - time to start some indie rondo hype

2005 BET Awards Re-run Re-cap permalink

Last night, I had the good fortune of catching the replay of the BET Awards, which were held back in June . I had high expectations, and I was sorta not disappointed:

still the kingFugees reunion medley. Lauryn Hill’s voice is shot. Not to mention her sense of style.

Hosted by Will & Jada. Coming out in a carriage with spinners was ace.

Tom Cruise presented Best Actor. Called Foxx’s cell to get the speech, then hurled out “much love”. Freaking WEIRD.

Destiny’s Child serenaded Magic Johnson, Nelly, and that guy. You could practically see Jay-Z’s sniper put his target on that dude’s forehead.

Gladys Knight outperforming and correcting everyone.

Cover Girls attacking Anthony Anderson. Hi-larious.

Stevie Wonder schooling the chump that is John Legend.

Ludacris rolling out on a Caddy. After all, he’s the one who dirtied up the sOUTH.

Mariah overtakes 50 Cent in best-selling album race

whaaaa?Music’s most-famous ho really had a good year in 2005. She may have the #1 album, she performed at numerous awards shows, she didn’t have a nervous breakdown, and she was allowed to adopt over 400 cats from the Phillippines. On second thought, nevermind about the nervous breakdown.

Sox in hunt for Tejada; Ramirez, Clement involved

In other news, an army of walruses has captured the Finnish capital, Helsinki.

Colorado man dies in wood chipper accident

Police say Korean whiskey was involved. Btw, has anyone heard from Ben lately?

Experts say Gen Y will need serious direction in the workplace

Not since Generation E (c. 1825-1845) have America’s youth been so coddled. The baby boomers of the Revolutionary War notoriously overparented, causing their children to start the Civil War. Is history repeating?

Police: Meat Bandit Nabbed in Golf Cart

Old & busted: “butt pirate” - New hotness: “meat bandit”

Man robbed after he bought suspects beer

That’s pretty low. Those guys’ beer karma is in the crapper. They’ll probably all drink an AIDS-tainted 12-pack of Crapweiser and die.

New Orleans Police Shoot, Kill Man With Knife on Tape

bang bang!Oink. Doesn’t anyone shoot people in the leg anymore? It’s weird, this whole thing turned out just like the final scene of Lethal Weapon 4. Except Jet Li was a slower, older, crazier black dude.

Study shows how alcohol damages bones

I wish I had no bones! Boom Chakkalakal!

Osama’ hot niece poses for GQ

If she was one of the Bin Ladens that got out of the country on special flights on 9/11/01, then it’s all good.

I’m calling it now. World War III will be the U.S. vs. Europe & China. Step right up, place your bets now.

UMass student lied about being visited by Feds

“The 22-year-old student tearfully admitted he made the story up…” LOL, what a fruitcake.
