Survivor Casting Call

Are you the next Richard Hatch? I hope not. But if you want to get on Survivor, there’s a casting call in Kansas City at Nebraska Furniture Mart this Saturday. It starts at 10. Click here to get the full “skinny” (I hate that word but that’s the first thing that popped in my head).

Get ‘er done

Why was this phrase ever popular? I’ve heard it more since the move to Manhattan than anything else. That’s probably the biggest con I’ve found since my arrival. I guess that’s pretty good.

What’s that beep?

There’s some kind of random beeping sound in my apartment. What’s interesting, is that it only beeps once every half hour or so. It might be a smoke alarm wanting new batteries. But how am I supposed to find the beeping if it happens so rarely? Should I just go stare at the smoke alarm…

Steal this and I’ll sue

Everyone knows about the Ice Cream Social. But how about an Ice Cream Anti-Social? You would stay quiet, face the wall, and have ice cream roll off your chin while a tear streams down your cheek.

Stooks gets yelled at

I’ve been cursed at more than once because of something we’ve talked about on the show. None were more justified than this guy’s thoughts on us discussing American Idol this morning. Take a listen. It’s worth it.

Wrap your mouth around this meat

Check this out: Paris Hilton has a new video. And you can even see it on TV! It’s for Hardees/Carl’s Jr. and the Parent Television Council isn’t very happy. You can find out why by viewing it here.

To mace or not to mace

Can guys carry this? I went into a bar in Aggieville and saw a guy with this on his keychain. I laughed. But then I heard that the other day a guy got jumped by two other guys in Aggieville. I might start carrying a little mace with me. But this is the kind of…

Days strikes back!

After many emails and posts to this site, Days of Our Lives made its official return to the show this morning. In honor of this great event, I’ve put together a montage of the latest controversy: Bo falling victim to some kind of gas that caused him to think a different woman (Billie Reed) was…

Barhopping

Is anyone else annoyed with organized “t-shirt” barhopping? This is where a frat, sorority or other organization makes up a t-shirt and goes from bar to bar. They arrive in their groups of 20, destroy the atmosphere of the bar, and then leave. Kindof like the arrival of Oliver on The Brady Bunch, but multiplied…

Paula broke my heart

Cry about it some more, you no-talent, sister-beating idiot. Corey “I not only like to beat up women, but I like to beat up women who are my sister” Clark makes Scott Savol look good. ABC is such a piece of garbage for airing that special last night. By the way, did you notice that…

Whoops!

Have you ever accidentally dropped something into the toilet and had to fish it out with your hands? Probably. But have you ever accidentally thrown something into the toilet while you were in the shower? I used up the rest of my body wash this morning, and I always toss empty shower products over the…

O.C. or G.W?

Come on. Do you have to choose Thursday night for your press conference where you tell everyone everything that we already know? And do you have to bump The OC of all things? You better hope Ryan doesn’t grabe some of his boys from Chino for some retaliation. Easily the biggest mistake of this administration.

Wife Beater

Whoops. Wrong picture. There. That’s better. And he’ll be back to wearing the beater after last night’s show. Savol sucked so bad last night on American Idol that, if he doesn’t get cut tonight, I’ll gouge out my ears with a spoon. Check out this not-even-all-that-high note that he failed to hit. Not sure if…

Live like an Egyptian

Have you seen the new food pyramid? I didn’t realize I needed to have more stick figures in my diet. With the new pyramid, you get to customize your own plan by entering your age, gender and level of physical activity. Unfortunately, less than 30 minutes a day is as low as it goes. I…

Karma?

Okay, so I was complaining about the police running radar in a new construction zone and within days, I get a ticket. My first ticket in seven years. It was the day after my brother’s wedding, I was wearing my tux and everything, and I got pulled over in Kansas City. 38 in a 25.…

Paula not wasted?

Apparently Paula likes reading Internet message board about American Idol. And she sees that everone thinks she’s wasted. I think the picture tells us all we need to know. But Paula says the rumors just ain’t got none truth to ’em in da whatsoever. Great job! I’m proud of you! (*clap clap*). I direct you…

The fuzz

First off, what a stupid nickname. Second, shouldn’t there be some kind of waiting period before you start pulling people over in a construction zone? They just started working on a highway that I take to work each morning and they already had a cop out, at 4:30 a.m., trying to find people who were…

Dear Scott Savol,

We used to think you were cool because you were Ruben-sized and looking like Corky but Idol let you advance. But then we found out that you like to beat up girls. Oh yeah, then there’s that part where you can’t sing. Then the part where you’re way too cocky for your terrible voice. So…

Name your restaurant Chubby’s

Kansas City’s Chubby’s is a 24 hour diner. Lawrence’s Chubby’s is a bowling alley’s bar and grill. You know you’re going to get quality food at a bowling alley’s bar. I don’t know why they just don’t give up and sell gas station sandwiches, instead. Junction City’s Chubby’s is a barbecue/barbeque/BBQ/Bar-B-Q place. So, if you…

You’re wasted!

That’s what The Donald should’ve said to Chris Shelton, one of his Apprentice wannabees. This picture has my Abdul-O-Meter in the red. He was arrested the other night for disorderly conduct. Any guesses on if he advances much further on The Apprentice?

Get off the phone

Have you ever been in line somewhere and the person in front of you won’t get off their phone? They end up holding up the line because they have to tell their friend that “Maggie is making a big mistake going ouw with that jerk.” Is that really necessary at the current moment? Or how…

Newsflash: Paula Abdul not wasted on American Idol

Paula didn’t seem to be completely trashed last night on American Idol. While she still didn’t talk like a normal person, she didn’t sound as inebriated as Billy Joel. Hey, Billy! What’s in the cup? And can you ask your friend where I can get that groovy shirt?

Nah, I’m gonna use it for…

A bunch of people have already changed Sony’s new version of the GameBoy for their own purposes. Now you can get patches that let you get on the Internet, do Instant Messaging and even grab shows off the TiVo to watch later. This got me thinking about some other things I’ve rigged in the past…
