Game Break.

Whenever I use Google images to search for a particular kind of picture I usually get some pictures associated with the keyword, but then I will get one or two that have nothing to do with what I am searching for.

This link takes that dilemna and turns it into a game. A pretty addictive game at that. Basically you will be given a page and on the page there will be 20 pictures from an image search and your job is to guess the keyword that was used. There are 10 stages and you have 20 seconds to guess the correct answer for each stage. Have fun playing. Google Game.

I Was Running! (should be read in the Forest Gump voice)

I am sorry that I did not post this earlier, but I was to busy recuperating from my 13.1 mile run, or as my dad would put it, 21.0824064 clicks (km) to have any energy to come down and post anything.

Well it is a new day and my legs are beginning to loosen up so I figured I had the energy to leave an update. Both Christie and I, along with Joseph, ran in the Music City Half Marathon on Saturday and, believe it or not, we all managed to finish. Joseph smoked all of us and finished in 1:47:01. Update: Joe's official time was not 1:47:01, but 1:44:32. While Christie and I finished later then Joseph, we still had respectable times. You can go here to see the results. Simply enter the last name and first name of the person you want to see. Please note that you should look at the chip time rather then the clock time. The chip time started when we crossed the start line and ended when we crossed the finish line. The clock time started when the first racers started. I am happy to say that I finished in 8,697th place, and yes I did receive a medal for it.

Overall it was a good run, and after finishing I swore that I would never do it again. However, after taking a couple of days to heal it may be fun to run it again to see if I could beat my time and finish under the 2 hour mark.

For your viewing pleasure we were able to secure footage of me crossing the finish line. Joseph after finishing his run had enough time to go home and get the video camera to record me crossing the finish line. Damn that guy who passed me right at the end with his fist in the air.

The Naughty File

We debated long about this next clip and figured we would start a new section titled "The Naughty File". If you watch AFV you know we stole the name. So every week we will post a clip that probably should not be viewed at work and probably is not appropriate for our younger readers. This one has one bad thing at the end...but it is funny.

Somehow someone captured a phone conversation between Michael Jackson and Sanjaya. Like I was saying, this is classic Michael so it is never safe for work or kids. I think this answers a lot of questions that we had about Sanjaya.

Roy Rules!

Scarlett Johanson hosted SNL last week and the highlight of the show, besides her monologue, had to be this digital short done by Andy Sandberg. Andy loves his wife, but I think he loves his brother-in-law a little more.

Now I love my brother-in-law, but I don't know if I would go this far, sorry Joseph.

Note: There is some language that might not be safe for work so you might want to watch at home.

Who Needs the Planet Earth Documentary?

Planet Earth is a documentary that was first shown on the BBC. It was so popular, and so well done that they decided to air it over here in the U.S. It is an eleven part series and it is worth watching if you get the Discovery Channel.

If you can't watch Planet Earth the next best thing is to watch an African water hole 24/7. This link comes to us from frequent Dink & Flika reader, Jon. The fine folks at Africam decided to set up a camera pointed at an African water hole. During the night it stays pretty calm and you are not likely to see much. However, if you are able to view this during the daytime things stay pretty active. Enjoy.

Click Link to view watering hole.

The New Batman Movie is Out!

Not many people know this, but I used to be a independent movie director. During my run I made quite a bit of films, but only one generated a lot of industry buzz. After realizing things were getting to corporate I decided to retire from the film industry.

After seeing this new Batman film I am glad that I did retire. I would not be able to compete with films like these. The realism, cinematography, directing, and acting are just brilliant. Enjoy the movie and rest assured there will be a sequel.

Could You Spell Your Last Name?


Love Connection: Worst Name Ever - Click Here for more great videos and pictures!

This has got to be the worst name...ever. I stumbled upon this video from break.com and it is hilarious. Although he claims that his job has cost him many relationships...I am going to bet that when women find out what their last name could be that is when the relationship goes south. Enjoy.

By the way...Dayton has not changed and is still boring as ever.

Are You Smarter then a Second Grader?

We need to give props to Daddo for finding this test and making everyone who takes it feel stupid. It is "supposedly" a test they give to Japanese students when they are in the second grade, I don't buy that for a second. In the game you have six frogs, three on one side and three on the other, with a rock seperating the two groups. The goal is to get the frogs from one side over to the other side. You can jump over one frog at a time.

Here is the Link to test your IQ. Note: when you click on the link it is going to pop up a window asking you if you want to open an Excel file. The test is on an excel spreadsheet, I don't know why. If you are hesitant in opening up a file from a source you are not familar with then I would suggest not doing so. Just rest assured you probably wouldn't have passed the test anyway.

Another Oldie but Goodie!

Continuing with our award winning series, "Oldie but Goodie" we dug up this old video which is sure to leave you smiling. I know a lot of people had seen the Ball State sportscaster clip we showed earlier and this is keeping with the same theme.

It seems like a good formula. Find a college student that wants to be involved with broadcasting, give him/her no formal training, and throw them in front of a camera. It is sure to equal comedy gold. This video is of a wannabe broadcaster doing a weather report. He is so bad, yet so good. The best is when he gets in front of the green screen and doesn't quite know where to point.

On a side note: I would not recommend going to Google images and typing "old lady" into the search box. Whether moderate search is on or not the first picture is quite disturbing and NSFW (not safe for work.) Geez Google, and I thought you were family friendly.

Get Ready To Be Amazed

This is a pretty cool optical illusion I found the other day. Basically look at the cross in the middle and you will start to see a green dot, and then if you look at it longer the dots will dissapear. Enjoy.

Real Men of Genius

If you are anything like my wife you like Bud Light's Real Men of Genius commercials. I am not sure what her favorite one is but I am sure it involves flatulence (she is a sucker for those kind of jokes.)

I was reading Bill Simmons Sports Guy blog today and he has a section where he links to a bunch of web-sites and what not. One of his links was to this site which has 66 of the Real Men of Genius ads. I am not sure if it has every one but it comes close, and it is sure to have your favorite one.

Farewell...

It actually is not a farewell, just a see you later. I leave for my first job out of college today and will be in Dayton, OH for 2 months or so. I will have access to the internet so I will post occasionally but I just wanted to let all of our readers know where I was. So I wanted to leave you with a little advice. As you know, I am a BIG believer in global warming. If we as humans would not have been such selfish beings, maybe we would not be so hot. I am afraid it is too late...and as my friend Al Gore would say, "sorry for the inconvenient truth." But if there is any hope at all I think our friend Sheryl Crow has found the solution. Here is a quote from her blog, I leave you with these words of wisdom. Thank God we have such smart people leading the way for us greenies:

"Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required"

Thank you Sheryl for speaking truth to power. Oh yeah...you're an idiot.

On a side note I cannot put into words how I am feeling now that I am leaving Sean's house. Both he and Christie have been very kind for putting up with me. Since I cannot put it into words I figured I would take a scene from my favorite movie which says it all. (No thanks needed for adding subtitles for our Asian viewers.)



--While I am very grateful for what Sean and Christie have done for me, I did not post the last paragraph. That was obviously a lame attempt from Sean to feel special. I do not like The Sound of Music and would not be so corny to put it up. Again, thank you Sean and Christie for all you did, but you will not get a musical tribute from The Sound of Music from me.

Were Not The Only Ones that Like Sanjaya

This video goes to show you that we are not the only ones that appreciciate the talented Sanjaya. This guy gets right up in the reporter's face and urges everyone to vote for the future American Idol.

While we are talking about Sanjaya, tonight we find out whether or not he survives another week. He sounded awful last night so it will be interesting to see if he is at least in the bottom three. If he is not in the bottom three I think Sanjaya has a good shot at being Top Four maybe even Top Two.

Could This Be the Worst Product Name Ever?

This is a funny video I found via The Consumerist and it just goes to show that the name you choose for a product could be a very important decision. I think this video was made in the early 80's right before the disease, AIDS, got world-wide attention. If you are looking to shed a few pounds and you have tried all the diets out there why not give Ayds a chance.

Oldie...but Goodie

I have been under the weather for a few days and am finally back. I am happy to report that I did not have the flu or mono or the hiv. Anyway, I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers of our 3 readers.

I have been getting a ton of grief from my co-editor about my lack of post so this is only to get him off my back. This video has been out there for a long time and I am sure most of you have seen it, but it is hilarious. Some college kid thought he could read sports but it just so happens it was a little more difficult than he thought. The best part is when he is trying to tell us about the Pacers game.

Blind Item of the Week - Allegedly

What prominent, poised, and professional Assistant District Attorney has a not so professional e-mail address? If you want to seek advice from this Attorney at Law you had better turn off your Internet filter and be prepared to send an e-mail to, buttkiss@... We have yet to determine if this ‘handle’ represents a way to make it to the top by sucking up to the powers at be (also known as brown-nosing), or if this is some kinky fantasy the Assistant D.A. likes to partake in during her free time. Either way we are disgusted.

We would be remiss in our obligations if we did not also mention this startling fact we found while investigating this piece. An unnamed source close to the story spilled his guts and his tears when he said he has been verbally abused by this person a number of times. The most recent incident occurred yesterday when he asked “buttkiss” to pick up some Up Dog at the store. Her not so kind response was, “What the #@*! is Up Dog?” The only answer we can give is, not much, what is up with you?

Where's My Pizza?

This is a funny video brought to my atttention by the fine folks at Deadspin.com. It shows a guy going for a foul ball in yesterdays Redsox - Angels game. Instead of getting the foul ball he gets some beer spilled on him, the ridicule from his friends for not catching the ball, and of course the mandatory Pizza slice thrown at him for missing the ball. Oh you didn't know if you miss a foul ball at a baseball game someone gets to throw a piece of pizza at you, well in Boston that is the case.

According to Deadspin:

Basically, the guy who missed the ball and received the pizza toss had, earlier in the game, been mocking the pizza tosser for eating a pizza in the stands. So when he missed the foul ball, all was fair game

The video is below and is pretty entertaining. The announcers spend a good four minutes talking about the incident and the visual of the guy throwing the pizza is great. About 1:45 into the video is when you get the slow-mo shot of "The Throw."

Actual 'Guitar Hero' Heroes

If you own a Playstation 2 or an Xbox 360 and you have not played Guitar Hero 1 or 2 yet I highly recommend you dropping whatever you are doing now, go rent the game, and get ready to rock out for the next five to six hours. Just be ready to spend $80 because once you get a taste of how good you really are on the guitar you are going to be going out to buy the game. Bobby brought Guitar Hero to the family and he is directly responsible for at least six other people going out and purchasing the game. It is one of the better games out there and it will keep you and anyone else who is around thouroughly entertained for hours (unless you are prone to motion sickness, daddo.)

Though it is a fun game and pretty easy to master if you are on easy or medium level; it gets extremely difficult to play when you are on hard or expert level. Unless of course you are one of these 10 guys who have practiced...A lot (maybe 9 guys because the first guy dresses up in a pizza costume for some reason and messes up a little bit.) The best has to be the #1 clip where the guy plays Free Bird. Not so much for the guitar playing, though it is great, but because of the performance he gives. This link is brought to you by FHM online.

We're Back Baby, and the Rent is Due!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but William has been out faking illness so he doesn't have to play me in Ping Pong, and I have been busy entertaining Christie's college friends with funny anecdotes and Cosmo's.

I expected to see some updates from William, but supposedly, he first was suffering exhaustion from staying up to late in a smoke filled bar, and then it was the flu, and now it is Mononucleosis. William we hope you have a speedy recovery and are able to play Sean in Ping Pong before you go up to Dayton for your new job.

Anyway, I found this video yesterday and it is worth sharing if you haven't already seen it. Will Ferrell has already conqured television and film, and now he is making his way into web video. It is a funny skit involving him and a not too nice landlord who wants her money. The language is a little PG-13 so if you are at work you might want to put your headphones on.

Basement Basketball is the Best.

How many of you guys had one of those little Nerf basketball hoops when you were growing up? You know the one that hooked to the top of the door and you could shoot hoops all day. I had one when I was growing up, and I was alwyas jealous of the kids that had one of those laundry baskets that looked like a hoop and you could shoot your dirty clothes into it, those were the coolest. Who knows some of you may still have one of those hoops hanging above your front door, I am still waiting on my wife to get me one for my Birthday.

Well I found this video a while back and it is pretty funny. I guess this kid did not have a lot of friends growing up and spent a lot of time in the basement practicing his dunks. I guess he got so good he decided to tape it to show all of his imaginary friends. The best is at the end because he sounds so cocky when he says he is going to watch the video over and over again.

On a side note, if you know him, doesn't this look like a young Matt Toy? You know the video looks like the video was made in the early 90's so the timing is right, it could be him.

Good News, The Son of the Deposed King of Nigeria Wants to Give Me Money!!!

It seems like a lot of the news shows are doing stories on Internet scams. Even Dateline took a break from their popular "To Catch a Predator" theme and developed a couple of shows appropriately titled to, "To Catch a ID Thief."

Though the different shows do a pretty good job of reporting the stories and giving tips on how to avoid being scammed, they don't do a very good job of showing us how to humiliate these people. That is why this web-site is such a good site to visit when you are looking for some time to kill.

419 Eater is a web-site devoted to baiting these scammers into thinking they are gullible Americans that are ripe for the picking. They then get into e-mail conversations and try to make the Nigerian scammers do ridiculous things. A popular thing to do is make the people grab random things and take pictures of themselves. The picture above is sent in from a Nigerian who thinks he is talking to the Pastor from a church called The Fish and Bread Church. In order for the Pastor to give them money, he had to show the parish a picture of the people they were going to help.

You can spend a lot of time looking at all the stories. It even shows you how to help out if you want to bait some of these scammers. Enjoy the link.

Children's Book Review of the Week

We are debuting our newest feature at D&F. I am sure within the next year or so that the D&F family will be introducing some new little dinks and flikas so why not get a head start on the children's books that we will be reading to them. We are lucky to have a friend in the publishing business that recommended a few and here is our first.

"Imagination Vacation" is a really fast read...I mean for a 24 year old. However I was enthralled the entire 2 minutes. 3-5 year olds are the targeted readers and I can see how they would like it. It has funny character names like Bonaparte, Shu-Shu, and Nut and Bolt. It also centers on how to use your imagination on a rainy afternoon.

The characters use their imagination to go on a vacation because they can't go outside. The authors also include foil shapes that the readers are encouraged to find them.

At the end of the book it gives ideas to parents on different activities that the kids can do to help them with remembering their shapes and colors.

Definitely a book that not only entertains but will help kids learn. If you would like more information, click here.

New Office Tonight

Tonight we have a brand new Office, and what could be better then a new Office? How about a new Office with Andy returning from Anger Management.

I was also surfing the web-site Pop Candy, which is a pretty fun web-site to visit, and she had two links to Office topics. First off, remember last weeks episode where Michael used Wikipedia to find out how to negotiate, well the Wiki entry is here. Though I couldn't find the tactic of whispering, I did find the tactic of not speaking first. Of course you may need to tell the person you are negotiating with that you are, in fact, not speaking first.

The second link that was found was the ability to now own your very own official Dunder Mifflin letterhead. I think Whitney (the author of Pop Candy) put it best when she said, "Now you can send your own faxes from the future."

Enjoy the show tonight, I am sure it will be a good one.

Word of the Day

The man pictured to the left is disgraced Durham, NC District Attorney Mike Nifong. As most of you know he ruined three young men's lives by charging them of raping a crazy stripper. Anyway, the case was dropped yesterday and now hopefully the wrongfully accused can get their lives back on track. I will help with that by inviting them all to be guest bloggers on D&F. We don't pay anything and only get 4 unique hits a day but it is a resume builder.

Now to get to the word of the day. Dennis Miller was on FoxNews last night and would like Nifong to be turned into a verb. So we are doing our part. The Word of the Day is "nifonged". Meaning to really screw up, especially while speaking of other peoples lives. Synonyms are schruted, screwed, and bucknered. An appropriate use in a sentence is:

"Man, he really nifonged the game for us."

Try to use it today and your friends will be impressed.


--thanks to Bobby for giving us the heads up on this

What Exactly Is The Connection??

If you are like me you have no idea who the guy pictured is, but evidently he is in the Fox show Prison Break. His name is Lane Garrison. Anyway a while back he was drunk in a car and it crashed and he is charged with vehicular manslaughter (it killed a high school kid that was in the car with him).

Anyway, it seems that Lane is more than a killer he is also very patriotic...or something. Today, according to TMZ.com, he told a judge that he is going to plead guilty to manslaughter and will not try to negotiate a lighter sentence. Talking through his lawyer, his reasoning behind it is:

"Lane is very sad about the accident," adding Garrison told him this morning: "People are going to Iraq. [I] want to step up and accept the sentence."

Congratulations Lane is equating what our brave men and women are doing in Iraq (who are heroes) to what you are doing in accepting responsibility for killing a kid.

Man, if only more people in Hollywood were like this brave soul we probably would have more admiration for them. Thank you Lane for showing us the way.

Give Me A Break...

We at D&F love this next story. You see, we do not like Barry Bonds. In fact, we actually hope that he gets some career ending injury that will prevent him from breaking Hank's record and expose him for the cheater he is.

But I digress. It seems that Bonds has been whining about the lack of communication and help that Hank Aaron has shown him. Hank was interviewed about this a couple days ago and had this to say.:

“I’m sorry Barry feels that way, and I don’t have any resentment toward him whatsoever, but I have no intention of trying to get in contact with him or doing anything with him in regard to his [chasing the record]. Nothing. Why should I?” said Aaron, who discovered only recently that the privately sensitive slugger for the San Francisco Giants wants to become pen pals or something. “It’s really not a big concern of mine. I don’t know why I should have to do anything. I might send him a telegram, and that would be the extent of it.”

That is too bad. I am about to embark on a new career and I am pissed that Hank Aaron has not called me to give me advice either. I am with Barry on this one, I think Hank should get on the phone (or telegraph) and help all of us out. I am sure it is real difficult having to deal with the pressures of breaking a baseball record while juicing up. Give me a break.

Breaking News: This Man Is A LIAR

Usually after watching American Idol we would post something about Sanjaya. Well we will not disappoint, William upon seeing Sanjaya was overheard saying, "He looked liked a 70's porn star." I wonder how William knows what a 70's porn star looks like (possible blind item topic.)

More importantly though we have breaking news concerning Phil Stacey. He was quoted saying that his baby girl has a stuffed cow and calls it, "Simon Cow." This statement, while cute and heartwarming, is obviously false and he is clearly trying to play the "I am a new father so vote for me" card which we here at Dink & Flika are not falling for and do not condone.

We did some research and found an interesting web-site called babycenter.com. Not only did we find out if it is allright for babies to see their parents naked, but we also found out when babies can start speaking words. It turns out for them to say coherent words usually takes about 18 months. Phil's baby is at the most 5 months old. This is just more reason to vote for Sanjaya and vote out this liar.

-Sean

That's Assault, Brother!

This video shows that it took place after the NCAA Basketball Tournamnet, but I remember seeing it after the Football Championship. It doesn't really matter because it is still a funny video. Basically, Nike helped make a friendly wager between the two schools, where the losing school had to erect a statue on the winning team's campus. In either case Ohio State was the loser and had to endure having the Florida Gator mascot, Albert, erected on their campus.

The video is a must see, and in the beginning the students don't know how to react. Then things start getting physical, and once the assault begins it doesn't take long for Albert to come down. My favorite part has to be either when the kid on his way to calculus class takes time to read the plack then walks up and kicks the mascot in the family jewels; or when the frat guy coming home from an initiation ceremony is so distraught he pulls off some serious flying elbows on Albert. Those Ohio State fans are so crazy.

Rumor Has It...

There are thousands of rumors going around the Internet. Thankfully, there is a website to tell us the truth. Snopes.com finds the rumors and then researches the validity of them. For instance, it is not true that the American interstate system was developed as an emergency airstrip in case of war. I know that a certain brother of mine has told me this many times but it turns out he is a big liar.

It actually has a pretty extensive list of rumors and usually if you hear something that you need to check out, it will be on the website.

Blind Item of the Week

What former high school Baseball letterman embarrassed himself during his first softball game over the weekend?!? This two time letterman, who was so gifted and talented that when he finished his High School baseball career his coach was so taken aback he was moved to tears; not only showed up late to the game (almost causing the team to forfeit) but he also made a horrendous throw that left him embarrassed and left his teammates questioning his abilities.

It all started with a routine ground ball to third base. The former high school standout fielded it cleanly and that is where things started to fall apart. He intended to throw the ball to second base to force out the lead runner. However, instead of the ball reaching second base, it reached the outfield somewhere between second and first base (approximately 90 feet from where it was intended.) The looks of disgust and amazement that a throw could be that awful showed on everybody’s face. One onlooker was quoted as saying, “It looked like he was throwing an eephus pitch to the right fielder!”

Many speculated this athlete was “special” and was given a chance to play because of the coaches’ generosity. However, this reporter learned the truth, this man was not special, he was simply feeling the effects from an all night bender which included Cosmos and beer pong.

I am sorry to say we were unable to find video footage of this play, but I will provide this video of the Mayor of Cincinnati throwing out the first pitch of the Reds 2007 season. After watching this, just know the throw we described above was 10 times worse.

Put Me Down for a Four!

The man pictured to your left is none other then Auburn Cornerback David Irons. He is done playing for the football powerhouse Auburn University and is trying to impress NFL GMs and head coaches at the NFL Combine. Part of the process is taking the Wonderlic Test and according to Wikipedia,

The Wonderlic is a twelve-minute, fifty-question exam to assess aptitude for learning a job and adapting to solve problems for employees in a wide range of occupations.

Each year it seems that one or two players gain notoriety by performing so badly the media can't help but talk about it. This year that honor goes to David Irons who scored an impressive 4 on the test. The lowest score ever was a 3, so David at least is in the Top 95%. It looks like David will not be adapting very well any time soon.

If you are interested in seeing if you are smarter then David Irons you can Go Here for a sample of the Wonderlic Test. Thanks to Deadspin for the link.

- Sean

Update: I just completed the sample Wonderlic test and scored an impressive 8 which is equivalent to a 44 on the real test. I am the smartest man in the World!

For All The Office Fans Out There.


We here at Dink & Flika are very big fans of the television show The Office, both the British and US versions. However, there is no way we are bigger fans then the creator of this web-site. He basically takes every episode of the Office and transcribes it for everyone to see.

If you ever find yourself wondering what that funny quote was, or what the opening scene was for a particular episode then this is the site for you. I found this site via the Pop Candy blog, so when you get a chance check this out.

It's Baseball Season

Baseball season is upon us, and the Atlanta Braves are tied for first place in the National League East. Yes, it is still early with them only playing 4 games so far, but they are looking respectable. The bullpen is looking solid and some of their young talent, like McCann, are showing signs of greatness.

I figured what better way to get in the baseball mood then show you guys a video of Conan O'Brien playing 1864 Baseball. Basically a bunch of guys get together, play a pick up game of baseball and use the rules from 1864. Conan, of course, goes to the game and proceeds to dominate. Conan does do some great 1864 heckling.

The Masters

While sitting at work or home today with nothing to do check out this website. CBS SportsLine is streaming live video of The Masters from Amen Corner and also some other live feeds.

As it stands right now some rookies are stealing the show but Tiger is lurking and Phil is not completely out of it...yet. Hopefully Phil can steal enough time away from the buffet line to focus on golf and Tiger can stop thinking about his hot wife. Don't they realize that if they do not step it up a few notches that we will be subjected to watching Vijay Singh on Sunday...and I think I speak for everyone, I would rather watch women's basketball than do that.

So enjoy the golf and enjoy your Easter weekend.

The Office Is Back Baby!

After a six week break we finally get a new Office tonight. Even better it is going to be a supersized episode, lasting 44 glorious minutes. This is a older video and I am sure you guys have already seen it, but it is worth posting again. Michael and Dwight are bringing sexy back.



Finally, No More Squished Sandwiches

Do you find yourself pulling your sandwich out for lunch only to discover that it has been flattened to the thickness of a sheet of paper? Or more importantly do you find yourself making your sandwiches with bagels rather then bread? No, neither do I. But if you answered yes to both of those questions I have a solution for you. I found this link via http://www.boingboing.net/. If nothing else it is a interesting way to recycle your old cases that hold those blank CDs and DVDs that come in sets of 50. The picture at the beginning of this post pretty much explains it all. Now you can rest assured your bagel sandwiches will no longer be crushed and smashed when you are ready to eat them. Just make sure you wash the CD case before using it as a sandwich container. Link.

You Lost How Much?

This clip is from the television show High Stakes Poker which airs on the Gameshow network Monday nights. It differs from a lot of the other television shows that air poker because High Stakes Poker is a cash game rather then a tournament. The difference is that in a cash game people come in with any amount of money and all money wagered has an actual cash value. High Stakes Poker televises a cash game where poker professionals come in and play for at least $100,000 of their own money, must be nice. This video shows one of the biggest poker hands ever televised. Almost $600,000 changes hand and the loser, Daniel Negreanu, loses almost $300,000 in a matter of minutes. For the most part he takes it pretty well. I usually get upset if I lose $5 playing poker with the guys, I can't imagine losing $300,000.

What Was That?

If you are fans of the television show Dancing with the Stars, (which I am not) or you are fans of the television show The Soup (which I am) you may have already seen this video. It is a video of the two hosts Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris. They are getting ready to throw it to commercial break and you can clearly see from the video that Samantha Harris is either quite intoxicated or she becomes possessed and starts speaking in tongues, you decide.

I Am Not Alone

I had a feeling about this ever since I saw Leo freeze to death in the Atlantic. There is finally someone speaking truth to power. This brave man has taken the "story" about the sinking of The Titanic and totally smashed it apart. For instance, why was there no video recording of this "event" even though the richest people in the world were on the ship...are you trying to tell me that no one had a Sony Camcorder.

I invite you to look through his website with an open mind and your life might change. I have finally found a conspiracy theory (although it is more like a truth theory) that I can buy into.

Come On!!!!!

Who the heck does this? Keith Richards snorts some blow...and his dad. At what point do you say to yourself "I have a problem." I would hope it comes before the moment you look up at your mantle and see your dad's ashes and think it would be good to mix some cocaine in with them and sniff them up your nose.

I am glad to know that when I hear a Rolling Stones song on the radio this man is getting richer. Thank you Keith Richards, everyone can look at their lives and feel a little better about themselves.

I hope that your mom is changing her will and opting to be buried in a "snort free" casket. I would rather be eaten by worms than sniffed up some deadbeats nose.

You think he sniffed his dad in a $7,000 suit....COME ON.

Sawyer Recommendation Nominee

I am all about finding new things and sharing them with family and friends. Whether it be a good television show, new music, or in this case a new ice-cream flavor. I, however, did not discover the newest Sawyer recommendation nominee, Christie did. She went out shopping recently, was in the mood for ice-cream and decided to try this new flavor, It did not disappoint. The name of the flavor says it all. The ice cream tastes just like birthday cake and there is a blue ribbon throughout that tastes like frosting. It is guaranteed to give you a sugar high and keep you coming back for more. I am really glad that Christie discovered this new ice-cream only a couple of weeks before we are scheduled to run in the half marathon. The timing couldn't be better.

Blind Item of the Week

What Neo-Natal Nurse Practitioner caused quite a social faux-pas this weekend when she went on a five minute diatribe accusing a person she just met of being a big NERD. That’s right sources close to this reporter tell the story that this femme fatale just met this poor unsuspecting gentleman and at the moment he was about to say that he was a fan of the television show Battlestar Galactica she went off. Saying such things as, “Nerd...hey Dwight Schrute...you have no life” and many other things that are not fit for print on this family friendly web-site. The unnamed man was left speechless and quickly excused himself from the conversation. Clearly to go and wipe off the tears that he shed after hearing such harsh words directed towards him.

One Dumb Owner

This story is making the rounds on the many news channels and Internet news sites. I found it via the drudgereport.com. As my previous post mentions, who doesn't love dogs? However, I guess there are extremes to everything. This couple loved their dog a little too much.

One Smart Dog

Who doesn't love dogs, besides my dad. We are all suckers for a good dog video. I found this link via the web-site: www.yougottaseethisvideo.com (very original web-site name.) It comes from the Ellen Degeneres Show. On a side note many of you may not know but William is by far the biggest Ellen Degeneres fan I know. He can always be found Tivo-ing Ellen's show and later telling me all about the funny stuff Ellen said and the cool dance moves she does on a regular basis.

I digress, this video is pretty remarkable, it is of a dog who turns out to be pretty smart. The owner of this dog is obviously to busy, or to lazy to clean his/her pool and the water could not be dirtier. The dog is not about to jump in the pool, even if his favorite ball is taunting him from the deep end. Instead he improvises and finds a way to get the ball without risking his health to do so.

Braves Win, Braves Win

It was opening day for a lot of Major League Teams yesterday and the Atlanta Braves were one of those teams. The Braves looked good yesterday with Smoltz pitching a solid six innings and Brian McCann belting a two run homer in the top of the fourth. But the Auto zone Player of the Game had to go to Edgar Renteria who is on pace to shatter the home run record and hit 324 Home runs.

Upon seeing the game winning Renteria home run in the top of the 10th my reaction was similar to this kids, only I was not still wearing pajamas.
