Now we officially have two Gator teams! Steve, meet Shane. Shane, Steve.

Why do porn actors have such potty mouths? Maggie Lehman explains her displeasure here.

I'm not even sure how to introduce this. Sean "Puffy" Combs, the rap mogul has a fear of clowns. And I can't stop laughing about it.
Fight the power! The radio industry is trying to destroy internet radio! They'd rather you listen to "Puddle of Mudd" and Mariah Carey instead of discovering new music on your own! Read this and get involved! Or read this and REALLY get involved!

This article reveals the complexity of accounting and the odd personal finances of Michael Jackson. It's a shame he owns the Beatles catalog although it seems to be the only collateral that keeps him afloat. Raw, Bad, Invincible... his next album might very well be named "Taxable" or "Liquidity".
This guy, Robert Blake, has been charged in the shooting death of his wife, Bonnie Bakley. Yes, I'm shocked as well. He looks so nice... so sweet and grandfatherly. Come here, Blakey and give me a hug.
Any of you that enjoy partaking in that burger meal or steak dinner should watch this special about the meat industry. Excellent reporting. Just don't eat during the show's airing.
What's worse than American Airlines losing your luggage? How about losing your wife?

And the FOUL! Marv Albert was injured in a car accident! As was the "Czar of the Telestrator", Mike Fratello! And I hear that Marv tore his lace panties during the accident... ha ha ha. (yes, I'm mean...)

This is Beef Savage. He's a rocker. Check out his site. His song "Touch of Evil" will bring tears to your eyes.
As if I needed confirmation that William Shatner was the coolest guy on the planet...
This is proof that we are overtaxed. In 1990, a tax was added to beer which equates to $1 a case. Now, this offends me because it is basically a morality tax. Beer is bad for you so we'll overprice it. Still didn't stop me... so there! Anyway, legislators are trying to roll the tax back to pre-1990 levels because they feel that it affects lower income people the most. I have to agree.
A study by the "economics don at the University of Calgary in Canada" has determined a correlation between the amount of alcohol consumed and financial wealth. And no, he wasn't drunk during the press conference. At least, his accountant didn't think so.

Robert Urich died today. What a shame. I really liked his work. Honest. I even watched the NBC show "Emeril" and believe me, he was one of the few good things about it. Well, him and the Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Glaze and Creole Mustard Reduction Sauce. Yum.
And this one is funny in an ironic sort of way. Headline reads: Shark Expert Eaten By Shark. I hear he's also an electric eel expert as well as an expert on groin pulls.
I know I shouldn't laugh at this... but.... ha ha ha ha ha ha.

What's love got to do with it?
This should make you laugh and cringe at the same time. A lady is suing a snack food company for $50 million because their product was sent out with the wrong nutritional information, thereby ruining her diet and causing her "weight gain ... mental anguish, outrage and indignation." Did I mention the suit was for $50 million? Even if they were paying this woman by the pound, it's STILL too much! Eat a damn salad!
Please read this article. Rep. Cynthia McKinney is doing and continues to do a disservice to her country and her constituents. Out out out!!!
I'll admit that drinking is as much a part of college life as anything else but this study stunned even me. But you and I both know that statistics can be twisted to prove most anything. Here is an example of how statistics can be used to create an overinflated version of the truth.
Take a look at this picture.... how could anyone even entertain the notion of strapping explosives to their little girl and send her down the street to die. Sorry... enough grim crap...
Good morning. I have a story for you.
Brandi and I went to look at a place for her to live yesterday and was to see that racism is alive and well in Gainesville. Let me explain.
She called ahead and we showed up at the house that offered the 1br/1ba apartment. The owner, a hairy backed, tank topped fellow that looked like he could have been working a deep sea fishing rig, unlocked the door and let us look around. Brandi scanned the place and decided it wasn't for her, as the kitchen and bedroom were in the same space. Odd. Anyway, as we were leaving, a black man walked up and said he was interested in looking at an efficiency apartment. He must have seen the sign in the yard. Anyway, the owner barely looked up and said that he didn't have any. The guy then asked if he had a one bedroom, one bath and Brandi pointed at the door we just left as I said "We just looked at this one!" The guy asked if he could see the apartment. The owner said "It's $465". The guy asked again if he could see the apartment. The owner said "It's not available until the end of May." The guy asked a third time if he could see the apartment. Noticing that we weren't going to leave until he let the guy in, the owner caved and unlocked the door.
As we were leaving, Brandi made mention that the rent the owner quoted the guy was $10 more than he quoted her.

Here's my Live365 radio station website. Check it out. The music's actually not bad, if I do say so myself.
Yes, strange stuff does happen around me. After work, my girlfriend and I were in my room hanging out when all of a sudden I heard a loud SCRAAAAAAAPE-THUD! sound outside. I looked out the window just in time to see a minivan sitting on it's right front brake job and a car tire bouncing, bouncing, bouncing and finally colliding with the fence. Odd scene. The tire almost hit our house and would have had the bouncing timed itself better.

I don't like to throw the "genius" label around as I feel it's overused. It's not unlike the word "diva". Seems everyone is a diva. Hell, VH1 even made Elton John one last year. Anyway, the U.S. military has invented something that merits that label. The indestructable sandwich. Now, if they could only keep the "hot side hot and the cool side cool", like the McD.L.T.....
When I read this article, I almost spit up my double stuff Oreos and 64oz. Big Gulp.

Penthouse, an institution for pre-pubescent boys everywhere, is close to done thanks to the emergence of internet porn. The irony of it is that Bob Guccione might have to sell his art collection consisting of originals by Picasso, Degas and Renoir to keep the business going. Moment of silence, please...
This is the best news I've ever heard! It's apparent that the Italian legal system is f'ed in the head.
This article goes out to those of you who have ever had a computer crash or lock up at an inopportune time.
Happy Monday! I'm back at work and at 85%.
I haven't found any news and views of interest and nothing clever comes to mind but when it does you'll be the first to know.

My head is killing me. So I'm at home. I wrapped my head in alternating layers of cold packs and gauze. Just kidding.

In the course of trying to find educational resources for JCL, I found this. Who would have thought there was JCL humor out there!
Do-do-do-dooooo it! Do-do-do-dooooo it! Click here to find out about the dance craze that's sweeping the nation. Note: The kid on the right fired his agent at the conclusion of this film shoot.
Anyone want to listen to some eclectic, interesting music from bands you probably haven't heard of? Don't be afraid... click here and get ready to enjoy my wonderful radio station. Does not cause tooth decay.
For those of you who believe in the governments' right to legislate our behavior through taxation (ahem!), here's an article regarding a "fat tax" that is in the works. Government will soon decide that the Snickers bar you're enjoying should be taxed. And those fries. And soon, your beer and wine. Remember, government ALWAYS knows what's best for you.
Here's some good news for all you hillbillies out there. It seems all that messing around behind the woodshed with yer cousin won't cause problems after all.
More entertainment news. This is actually a sad story, although I'm personally not a fan. Dave Mustaine, lead guitarist and founder of perennial metal band Megadeth, is calling it quits. He somehow sustained nerve damage in his arm that prevents him from playing the guitar. I'd can't even imagine getting injured and subsequently losing the ability to do the thing you love the most, which for me is pounding my steering wheel and cussing out pedestrians.
Here's a link to the Flash e-card for Megadeth's latest album. You'll love it. Dave's voice is like butter. I'm totally joking, but check it out anyway. How can you go wrong with songs like "Symphony of Destruction" and "Tornado of Souls"?

On the entertainment front, here's a story about a woman who is wacky for the movie "E.T.". So much so that she's seen it over 700 times. I can't help but admit that I can relate, as I've seen the movie "American Ninja" over 7,378 times. Michael Dudikoff rules!
For those of you that are uninformed (like me) and would like a history regarding the formation of Israel, my friend Greg from GregNews has put together a chronological view of the formation of that nation up to the present day. I had to read it several times and still have trouble figuring everything out.
Today, I'm starting with some sports news. Big fat old punk Michael Jordan has called it quits for the rest of the season. He promises to be back next season with new robotic knees and he plans to join the Toon Squad. Ok, that last part was a lie. He's playing for the Wizards, another cartoonish, comical team.

Sing along with me!
"There is a dream, a dream that's ours. We wanna be the best R&I In the world!" Here's a website with a top ten list of the best corporate theme songs. These are written to fire up the employees and to get everyone in the IT department dancing their collective nerd asses off. Check out McKinsey & Company first... it is 100% fun! And it even has some rapping in it! Ludacris, eat your heart out!

Oh goodie! Some consipiracy theorists straight out of our city! This guy claims his dad really killed MLK!
On to music news. The Hollywood Reporter is claiming that the latest release from Celine Dion will not play on PC's and in fact could cause your computer to crash. Now, I'm no fan of restricting the use of music but I have to officially thank the music industry for adding this protection to Dion's album which will limit album sales, saving an unsuspecting public from themselves.
Here's an article on BBC online that describes how this technology works and how it can be worked around through hardware. I'm sure some 15 year old programmer has already figured out a software fix for this.

Stop the presses! Mike Tyson will officially be added to the "sex offender" lists in the states of Tennessee and Mississippi. Doesn't everyone feel safer? Yeah, me neither. Personally, I think every Tyson fight should be like a WWF cage match. And how funny is it that they were considering banning him from the sport. Only Mike Tyson would be considered too violent for boxing!
I heard a comedian the other day say that he thinks that the Fox channel should have a show especially for Tyson called "When Animals Attack Mike Tyson". Every week, he goes up against a different animal, like an ox or killer bees or electric eels. And his job is to eat them.
In other boxing news, Mills Lane, famous boxing referee known for his "Let's Get It On" catch phrase and his horrible "People's Court"-type show, was was hospitalized in intensive care Tuesday after suffering a stroke in his Reno home. Sources report that he was given a standing eight count before being rushed to St. Mary's Regional Medical Center. Sorry, couldn't resist.

This headline disturbs me. "Bethlehem Seized by Israeli Forces". Should anybody be "seizing" Bethlehem? Generally speaking, the idea of tanks and soldiers in that city is unnerving. Click here.

According to this news story, Eileen Wuornos has confessed to her crimes and is begging to be executed. The Governor's Office is reviewing her request. On one hand, if this is what she wants, who are we to stand in her way. On the other hand... why should we do ANYTHING she wants, especially if she's suffering from what she did. Execution's too good for this woman. It's just too bad that I'm not Governor, because I wouldn't have an electric chair. I'd have an electric couch. And I'd put her and Danny Rolling on it, strap them in, put them in a dunk tank and drop a hair dryer in there.
I guess I'm officially getting old. Why the hell does this stuff need to be on TV? Watching this makes people look desparate and pathetic... I mean, to let one person judge your worth to them as compared to someone else... that's just nasty business. And some of the things these girls do with these cheezy guys just to get accepted... shame on them! Check out this story.
You know what? On second thought, I don't think I would ever have liked this nonsense. So there.
Now it's time for Frog's music review. Today's album is "The Guest" by Phantom Planet. This is the band with the monobrowed guy from the movie "Rushmore" as the drummer. Despite the fact that a celebrity of sorts is in the band, I have to say that I enjoy this album a lot. Especially since it only costs $6.99 at Best Buy, which is below cost.
On a 10 scale with 10 being the highest, I'd have to give the album a 7. Not bad.
Why is it that every time I'm getting ready to eat and I'm flipping channels, the Discovery Channel is showing open heart surgery?!
Happy Tuesday!

Good morning, everyone. It's Monday and I'm at work on my new computer! Very cool... it's 1.7Ghz with all the bells and all the whistles. More later... I'm still working on getting the sound card working just right.
