Hiking and Carjacked Babies in the News
To be cliche... People should need to get a license to have kids!! So many parents, give us good parents a bad name. When my wife and I had kids, 3 years apart, we did not.... Go to the movies Go to concerts Go out to eat Go to any stores together Go on vacation Get on a plane Or anything else that would subject the public to crying kids for about 5 years. Once you have kids, your life changes. People choose to have kids, and I can't agree more with you that you need to change your lifestyle accordingly. The public at large do not need to hear yelling/whiny/misbehaving rug rats. Then you need to raise them to be polite, respectful, and self sufficent IMHO. That really is the problem...not the kids, but the idiot parents that think the world revolves around them and their precious children. While on the subject... NO, not all kids are cute, and NO, I don't want to see their pictures. I have never carried my kids pictures with me...I know what they look like : )— December 3, 2008 1:40 p.m.
KISS, Scrabble, and Competitive People
Thanks Ms. Grant...that clip was hilarious!! The best was when he asked "how the hell did you people get on this show!" hahaha— December 3, 2008 1:29 p.m.
Plaxico Dumbass and other NFL losers
If you are a millionaire, hire the strippers, hookers, drug dealers, your posse, etc. and have them come to YOUR CRIB!! I think these stupid athletes get what they deserve, being in public and blinged out. I agree with you Josh, Burress will be picked up by somebody (Cowboys, Raiders?) and it will continue. As far as IQ level in athletes. The only way most are going to get bank is if they put their time into a sport. They are not going to college to get a degree and career...just to make it into a pro sport, that is their one chance. Then kids see this and the cycle continues. There is no push to study and learn, only to make a fast buck in this society. NOT that spending your whole life working to be pro is easy or fast. But that is the idea given to todays youth. One thing that I am on the other side of the fence is the Mayor of N.Y. coming out with "he has to serve time" "anyone caught with a gun in N.Y. has to serve at least 3.5years" COME ON!! Are you telling me EVERY thug picked up for burglury, extortion, drug dealing, battery, discharge of firearm, ALL serve 3.5 years min. if they have a gun. I doubt they have that many jail cells in N.Y. Most are probably charged with the harsher crime and plea away a weapons charge, serve very little time and are released. Since Burress is a pro, the Mayor comes down on him to set an example. PLEASE, that is bogus. That is where being a celebrity or pro athlete works against you....at least this time.— December 3, 2008 10:29 a.m.
Comedy Writers and Insane Siblings
So is this blog to incite your bro for the obligatory argueing at the Thanksgiving Dinner at Mom Boards?? Skip politics, religion, race, that is too easy... Go right for the juggular with character assassinations. AAHHH sibling rivalry at the Holidays. Can I come with to dinner? I am sure there will be plenty of entertainment. Your brother is probably writing his best material just for you after reading this blog. The turkey may not be the only roast on the menu this year : ) Have a Happy Thanksgiving all!— November 26, 2008 1:01 p.m.
A Teacher in the Hizzy
I don't know who came up with PHAT, but Russell Simmons wife, Kimora has added to their BILLIONS of dollars by launching.... BABY PHAT With all the girls I see wearing those clothes, I don't think the girls take it as an insult. Maybe stupid slang, but VERY PROFITABLE!! As far as COOL, Josh...You thinking it still works, proves the point, that is not KEWEL.— November 26, 2008 12:46 p.m.
A Teacher in the Hizzy
MsG. and Josh...sorry to break it to you, but COOL is not cool anymore...at least not to kids these days. I still use the word, but am an old foggy in my 40s : ) My 12 year old, and his friends always say the same thing when they hear COOL... Constipated Outdated Overrated Looser So, while we may use the word, it dates us, just like the other slang listed in the posts. The one I hate is "sick". SICK has replaced COOL, Bitchin, Rad, the list goes on as above. I think it is stupid, but as my kids say, its just cause I am COOL.— November 25, 2008 2:26 p.m.
100 Best Singers, 1 Great Drummer
If this list is supposed to be BEST SINGERS period, and not a specific genre, then... Missing from the list.... Barry Manilow Neil Diamond Luther Vandross Nat King Cole None of them are my favorite, but how can you exclude them, and have Axel Rose. What a whiny voice, surprised they didn't add Getty Lee too. I also agree with you, Neil Young is a tough sell on this list. Mariah Carey should be way higher. 5+ octaves and ranked #79, come on. You should try her Christmas songs next month...they are not so bad Josh.— November 14, 2008 2:12 p.m.
Sports Shortz -- The Ryan Leaf Edition
UUUHHH, Christian Laettner never panned out???? He played 13 years in the NBA, was the only college player on the first (best) Olympic Dream Team. First Team Rookie All Star, All Star Team in 1996. Averaged 13.3 points 6.9 Rebounds 2.7 Assists Shot 47.8% from the floor and 82.1% freethrows Those might not be Shaq or Zo stats (drafted 1 & 2 same year), but to me that is panning out quite well.— November 12, 2008 2:42 p.m.
Obituary Ogling -- News of my death has been greatly exaggerated
John Daly's ONLY remaining sponser is Hooters. His new girlfriend is the VP of marketing for Hooters, and thought it would be a good idea for him to go to Vegas to sign stuff and promote Hooters. Did'nt work out too well. It is too bad, he has fallen too far on the PGA money list so isnt invited to tourneys anymore, so the days of watching him crush 300+ drives down the fairway are all but over. Yet another highly paid pro athlete letting their addictions get in the way of easy money. If you can call a 330+ pound, beer drinking, chain smoking guy an athlete.— November 12, 2008 2:26 p.m.
Escape the Tape -- An Airline Horror Story
Wow, you can get kicked off a flight for wearing the wrong clothes or drinking before the flight, even if you keep to yourself and don't bother anybody. Bondage and pedo is OK??? Guess that goes with the MO of airlines.....kinda like how they hold you captive on the runway for hours waiting to take off or de-ice the plane.....NOPE, you can't get off the plane, you are our captive!! OH, theres a perv in row 4 tying up little girls?? Does he need a job??— October 29, 2008 10:38 a.m.
