Frog's House of Infinite Wisdom

Sorry about the lack of stuff today. I'm in a computer training session at work and only have access to the net for about 10 minutes or so. I'm sure I'm missing out on all kinds of neat stuff to share with you!

The National Basketball Association, after years of controversial and bad calls has decided to implement the limited use of instant replay. Apparently, they are second guessing their own ability. Personally, I think it's a good idea as long as it's only used in end of game or end of quarter situations. Otherwise, it's will destroy the pace of the game. Of course, I could be wrong. Naw!

Mike finally got around to getting his part of the power bill to me. For some reason, he had to get a money order. What's wrong, dude? No checking account anymore? Anyway, who cares... I got my money and that's what counts! He still has a table at my house and I will be OH SO attentive to him when he needs it back. As far as I'm concerned, I'm free of this jackass... he's on MY schedule now. Hope he doesn't need his table any time soon...

This web site is devoted to counting down when Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (formerly of "Full House" fame) will be legally able to be in soft-core Cinemax porn. You're welcome.

My ex-roommate is now 6 days late with his part of the power bill. My brother called him and left a message explaining how to get the money to us -- as if he didn't already know. I just want my money and my contact with him to END!!! GRRR!!!

So, the power bill was due on the 23rd so Mike is 3 days late. Are you surprised? Neither am I. I checked the answering machine and on it was a message from him saying that he needed us to call him so he could pay his portion of the bill. Of course, this is after he called a few days prior saying he would come by and drop it off in the mailbox or slip it under the door. It's no surprise where we live but according to him, he has no transportation. Hey dipsh*t! Ever heard of a stamp? I mean, it's already late anyway! F'ing jerk...

In Irvine, Texas, two robbers entered the home of 90 year old Mary Tucker and cut off her arthritic finger in order to get a wedding ring. I'm sick to my stomach now.

It would seem the federal government is talking about of both sides of its mouth. On the one hand, they are increasing penalties for hacking into computer networks but they are also considering letting record companies hack into peer-to-peer networks (like Kazaa and Napster) and disrupt transfers. It also looks like they are allowing the labels to search individual users as well. Nice... give the labels the right to be vigilantes. Scary, people. Read on.

In Romania, a girl is suing her internet mate after he called her a "hippo", thereby causing her distress. The problem is that she misrepresented herself, saying she was a thin blonde type. Man, people will sue for anything, won't they? Why doesn't she just sue the fast food industry?

I'm going to try and get some advertisers for the site. Here's the first!

Does this mean a sex change will add years to your life? Hmmm...

As a public service, AskMen.com has published a guide to dating two women at the same time. I don't know about you but I think dating ONE woman at a time is PLENTY challenging! My one girlfriend is just fine!

I was just checking my Hotmail junk mail folder when this message caught my eye popped up. I had to check it out...
In big, bold letters, it said:
NASTY DOGFART SLUTS
TAKING IT HARD AS HELL!
CLICK HERE TO WATCH FOR FREE LIVE!
What does that MEAN?!!! I've been around the block a bit... I've seen stuff... but I have no idea what a "nasty dogfart slut" is nor do I understand the appeal of one. Can someone help me?

I came across this article about President Bush's business and social beginnings. Interesting stuff.

Yahotties! is a site devoted to displaying news and pictures about good looking women. The internet is a wonderous thing.

In Minnesota, a jury of intelligent, good looking and well groomed sweet-smelling people ruled in favor of a dancer from the "Sugar Daddy" strip club of not violating the city's indecency ordinance. They had to see a demonstration several times to make sure and it's reported that they spent all their per diem. Click here, por favor.

Wha? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. What did the headline say again? Something about a boys' penis and a donkey or something? Is this a fraternity prank? How do these things HAPPEN!?!! Click on this here word.

Minneapolis activist is angry! She doesn't think it's fair that her "Save The Animals" audio-visual display is being overshadows by others with a pro-barbeque-ribs message. On the one hand, you have to respect the fact that she's basically in the "lion's den" with her message but DAMN! Of COURSE she's being overshadowed at a rib festival! It's like if Alcoholics Anonymous set up a tent in a beer garden! Shut your pie hole!

Hello! I've added some people to my blog site so you'll be able to see commentary from friends about my idiotic posts. Oh fun!

I'm going to make this fairly short. I've given this place three opportunities to win me over. The sandwiches are actually quite good as they use Boar's Head meats and cheeses. The problem is that they don't seem to have a clue how to quickly and effectively run a lunchtime take out restaurant. Sandwiches shops are different than other types of restaurants in that it's difficult to justify lengthy times to prepare the food as there are very few people who have never made a sandwich. It took the staff of three people over 30 minutes to complete our order. The counter is set up very high so that it's difficult to watch the process so I wasn't privy to what could be holding things up but having worked at Subway in my teens, I am well aware how long it should take. One thing I failed to mention is the fact that they were missing ingredients for the Philly sub that my girlfriend ordered but didn't bother to tell us until we had been there waiting for 10 minutes. She then asked us if we wanted to order something else. Wha!? You should be close to done by now!! Anyway, there are no chairs for walk-in customers to sit in so we were forced to stand and watch BET while waiting entirely too long.

When I finally received my order and rushed to my car (so I wouldn't be late for work) I noticed that they had forgotten one of the items that I requested on my sub! I went back and told them that I was missing lettuce, their response was "Did you ask for it?" Easy... breathe... stay calm... In my head I was saying, "Listen, jackass! I'm the customer! It doesn't matter! Put the f*cking lettuce on the sandwich!" but instead I just said "Yes, I did." I managed to get a good angle of the sandwich maker as he was "working" and saw exactly what took so long. Opening up a sandwich, putting lettuce on and rewrapping should take a minute, tops. It took him three. Of course, they never said "sorry" or anything like that.

Bottom line: if you like a restaurant that is spotless and has good food and if your time is not valuable to you, then by all means enjoy Kresser's Deli. If you want a sandwich that is just as good (if not better) and would like the spend 1/5 the time, go to the Publix deli, buy a sub and use the rest your lunch hour as you see fit.

The location: Brownsville, Texas.
The situation: a man tries to rid his house of bugs with an indoor fogger.
The result: the man rids a portion of his house instead.

WCJB TV 20 is reporting more information regarding the Sunday parking lot incident.

Teddy Dupay is facing allegations of battery and disorderly intoxication. It stems from an incident on Sunday in the west Beatty parking lot, involving Dupay and his best friend Kresten Lagerman. Police reports, and a sworn complaint filed with the State Attorney Tuesday, say the former Gator hoopster and his friend were parked in the lane talking to friends. When another car drove up, police say Dupay and Lagerman weren't ready to wrap up their conversation and move out of the way. After waiting several minutes, the driver of the other car, Michael Corey, honked his horn and yelled for the them to move. That's when he says a verbal fight broke out and Dupay hit Corey's car with first his shirt and then a sandal he was wearing, threatening to fight Corey. According to UPD Spokesman Joe Sharkey: "Mr. Dupay and Mr. Lagerman at different times grabbed the victim by his wrist. That's the battery, the unwanted touching, if you will, under state statute in Florida." Police say both Dupay and Lagerman admitted to drinking before the argument, and field sobriety tests showed the two were impaired. However, because police never actually saw either of the men behind the wheel of the car, there are no DUI charges. Instead, officers added disorderly intoxication to the sworn compliant. Local attorney Gill Shaffnit is representing Dupay. He explains the argument, saying Dupay was probably just on edge after dealing with the court documents released a week ago, dealing with gambling accusations against his client. The University Athletic Association declined an on-camera interview, but a spokesperson did say they hope Dupay "gets his life back together."

Sure, he's on edge. I would be, too. But DAMN, dude! You're barely on the Orlando Magic summer league team... show them that you're using good judgement again! Didn't playing in South America teach you how to be humble? PLEASE get your sh*t together!!!!

The music industry is so screwed up it's not even funny. This article refers to testimony in front of the California State judiciary committee regarding the underpayments of royalties by the labels! Somewhere between 10 and 40 percent! Check it out...

I need to get to sleep earlier. I swear, I always intend on getting to bed but there's ALWAYS something interesting on TV at midnight. Ugh...

You heard it here first. (Unless you were listening to the radio when I was!) Teddy Dupay was charged with some kind of alcohol-related disturbance the other night with Kresten Lagerman. Yes, the same Kresten Lagerman who was involved in the whole betting scandal. Peas in a friggin' pod. I'm not even linking to this one... I'm posting it directly!

Teddy Dupay just can't seem to stay out of trouble. On Sunday, July 21, the University Police Department filed sworn complaints for battery and disorderly intoxication against Dupay and friend Kresten Lagerman. Lagerman has also been linked to Dupay throughout the gambling saga. UPD officers responded to a disturbance call Sunday around 11:50 p.m. at the parking lot between Beaty Towers and Diamond Village. Police spoke with the victim, Dupay and Lagerman, and a witness. Later, UPD officials gathered that a traffic dispute led to the suspects committing simple battery against the victim. The victim was not seriously injured and required no medical attention. Both Dupay and Lagerman admitted to consuming alcohol. They are trespassed from the University of Florida campus. In other words, if they are found causing trouble on campus again, they will be arrested.

Thanks to TV20! Except the article is confusing. If ANYONE causes trouble on campus, they should be arrested, regardless of what they've done (or not done) previously!

I love this article. It's a list of five people that came into a cash windfall and managed to squander it. Naturally, one is a fan of the legendary #3. Click here.

I ran across this petition that calls for all Stormtroopers to wear sombreros, thereby avoiding all the thinly-veiled stereotypes and replacing them with BOLD, ASSERTIVE ones! Ha ha ha ha!!!

I sure wish someone would submit something! You know you have a tale you want to tell... and don't worry. It'll be anonymous! Email them to: frogbrother@hotmail.com!

It keeps getting worse, doesn't it? The problem is that they mix the beef from many cows from all over the world when they process. So it's not surprising that so much meat is contaminated. Here's the article if you're interested. Man, oh man!

This organization is the latest in the group of "book cookers". It makes the others pale in comparison. Unfortunately, it's our own government.

ConAgra of Greeley, Colorado has recalled about a gazillion pounds of beef due to positive tests of e-coli bacteria. This comes as no surprise to me as this meat packing plant was the focus of a wonderful feature on PBS' Frontline as well as the best selling book, Fast Food Nation written by Eric Schlosser. One thing I learned from the book is that once a recall is in place, it's usually WAY after the meat has been sent out. Sometimes even months later. I would suggest that everyone take a look at whatever pre-packaged meat they have in the freezer. And always cook your ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

The America West pilots that were in the news recently for stumbling into the cockpit drunk now have New York Post reporters clinging to them like barnacles and this has turned up the bar tab from the night before the event. These jackasses had a tab of $122 and that included about three gallons of beer, one martini and a burger. It doesn't say but it's assumed that this is between the two pilots. Another noteworthy thing: these guys only left a $20 tip! And they were there for six hours! BOOOOOOOOO!!! HISSSSSS!!!

Because this page is read by tens of people, I figure I owe it to the community to inform as well as entertain. Here's a link that educates how you should tip a stripper. As a matter of fact, this page gives you a guide to tipping in different situations. For instance, I've never really known how much to tip the lady that cuts my hair. I started going to Salon La Di Da after years of going to Wild Hair, home of the $5 hair cut on the advice of my girlfriend. It's a great place to go as they give you a neck rub before your shampoo and a beer or mixed drink during the cut. Sweet!

This isn't the first time I've read or heard stories about dolphins saving people at sea. This story tells about a particular fisherman in Australia who was floating at sea, his boat sinking due to rough weather and a pack of sharks closing in. For some reason, several dolphins appears and fended off the sharks long enough for Grant Dickson, 36, to make his way to a floating dinghy. Click here.

I checked my voicemail yesterday and LO AND BEHOLD! A message from Mike! It was in the usual meandering manner, first saying "sorry about the mail" and then later saying that he wasn't sorry because it wasn't his fault. He claimed that he specifically told them that he only wanted his mail held. You see, he's one of the few on the planet that would screw up something like this by not filling out a simple "change of address". That's what most people would do, but not Mike. I'm going to record the voicemail and post it so you can hear the type of crap I have to deal with. He also said that he would leave a check for the power bill, due today. Will it be on time? I doubt it. Will keep you posted...

Lance Armstrong, athletic hero of the Tour de France, has stated in no uncertain terms that the French are scumbags. Yes, I know, this is a shock. Click here.

Ugh. Read this article and get the creeps. Big time.

The city of Denver, CO has decided to jump on the reality TV bandwagon and is producing a show that shows the names, ages and dates of birth of johns and prostitutes arrested and convicted in the area. Sponsored by Johnson and Johnson, makers of KY Jelly. Jokes, people. Just jokes.

So, I have to admit that my expectations were not very high. On the other hand, I'd already met some of my girlfriend's relatives from the area and all were welcoming and interesting and fun.

The hotel we stayed in was, quite frankly, terrible. The room had a dank odor as if our entry was the first exposure the room had to fresh air in weeks. Two distinctive features was the bathroom door which had scratches on it as if something (a child, a large dog, a demon) was locked in and was fighting to get out. The towels had a hard, abrasive quality that did little more than scrape the water off you after a shower.

We met with a group of my girlfriends schoolmates at a Japanese steakhouse in Dothan, Alabama. Yes, there is a Japanese Steakhouse in Alabama -- I was surprised, too. Ha ha ha... anyway, we met the group of about 20 or so and it was a pretty typical scene. Some were dressed with an awareness of modern fashion, some were nondescript and some were stuck in a bygone era. All of them seemed nice with the exception of one husband that had a permanent scowl on his face. He ended up being the typical redneck jerk -- while everyone else was in the rented hall, he stayed in the hotel bar, drinking and frowning and drinking some more.

I'm trying to recall specific events that stood out but to be honest the evening was quite uneventful. My girlfriend worked the room and since she was the best looking girl there she constantly had a group of people around her. I pretty much spent the time sitting in the same chair, drinking my vodka & cranberry and watching her walk around and talk to people. The reunion portion ended around 11pm and then the group (what was left, that is) moved to the hotel bar for a nice, hearty round of karaoke. Horrible. Some guy sang Elvis... but not good Elvis. It was some medley with "Glory, Hallelujah"... not really a crowd pleaser. We stayed for a little while longer and then made the walk back to our terrible hotel room for some well deserved sleep.

See what I mean? Uneventful...

For those of us whose office lives need a little loosening up -- I bring you, Nerf Wars. I found a website that gets into the weapons and other information for your very own Nerf battle.

Ah! And what a fine morning it is, too! Hell, who am I kidding... I'm so tired I can barely sit up straight. Coffee, sweet coffee...

Hi. I'm in the car right now on the way back from my girlfriend's 10 year class reunion. I'm not feeling well and it's affecting my ability to remember anything or to write humorous anecdotes. Later, people.

This is no joke. Fantasy and reality have met and the results aren't pretty. The Reno for Governor campaign is putting on this event to capitalize on her overwhelming popularity. Or not. I think it's desparate and sad, myself. But apparently, Busta Rhymes doesn't think so, as he is expected to be there. As are the Wayans Brothers, that hilarious duo. (Can you smell the sarcasm?) Check out the news story here.

Sorry about that. I've been on the road today. I'm actually writing from my laptop on I-10 on the way to the panhandle. My girlfriend is going to her 10 year class reunion and she asked me to go. Which made me feel really good. I guess I'm good enough to "show off". I got a real nice haircut from the salon she goes and she helped me pick out clothes to wear. I guess the "FBI - Female Body Inspector" shirt is out for this weekend.
Anyway, I'm in a good mood so I don't know how much ranting I'll be doing today...

One of the most amazingly confusing couples in recent memory is now on the skids. Angelina Jolie, the smokin' star of Tomb Raider has finally come to her senses and has filed for divorce from Mr. Sling Blade, Billy Bob Thornton. I can't wait to see an interview with her because she's know for her frank talk about her relationships and so it's likely at some point that she's flame on that country dumbsh*t and will explain the demise. I'm guessing it's because he was cheating or was staying away from the house too much. Or perhaps he's just an idiot. Check it out on Foxnews.com.

If you are someone who invests in the stock market such as myself, you fall under two catagories. Either you're in it for the long haul and therefore aren't worried about the bull market or you are one of those short timers who were hoping to make a quick buck. I'm in the first catagory so I'm not stressing it. For instance, I own Disney stock and have seen the value increase by 50% only to watch it drop to near the cost I bought it for. And at this price, I'd probably buy some more. I'm know about all those people that pay the big Disney bucks to visit the parks and watch the movies so I'm feeling ok about things. I'd feel a hell of a lot different if I owned AOL stock. If I did, I'd most likely be barfing after looking at the above chart.

Friends star Jennifer Aniston has found a raunchy new way to stay in shape - cardio striptease. The sexy wife of movie hunk Brad Pitt has been peeling off for the steamy workout with 20 other women at the Crunch Gym in Los Angeles as a way of "shedding pounds and inhibitions." A source told the Daily Star, "Jennifer believes cardio striptease is the perfect way to get fit. It helps keep her trim and it teaches her some very sexy routines." And, according to friends, the new moves have livened things up in the bedroom too. The source adds, "It's spiced up her sex life too - she now puts on strip shows for Brad as a treat." Aniston isn't the only famous babe hooked on the new fad. Former Baywatch beauties Carmen Electra and Angelica Bridges are also cardio striptease devotees. Angelica tells the Star, "I thought they would be using poles and straddling chairs, and doing all this crazy stuff, but it's actually the best workout I've ever had." But eager fans shouldn't get too excited by the prospect of Jen and co. baring all in the gym - most participants stop stripping when they get to their bra and panties.

I don't mean to panic anyone, but:

Pop princess Britney Spears collapsed after a gig earlier this week after going on a crash diet. The starlet, 20, has reportedly been living on a diet of raw vegetables and water in a bid to drop the weight she gained after her split from 'N Sync singer Justin Timberlake. Britney's larger figure has been noticed by fans and the media since she started her "Dream Within a Dream" tour in May. A source told British newspaper The Daily Star, "Britney usually drops several pounds after every concert and needs to replenish herself with food and water. But this time she had only been on the diet for a few weeks and didn't want to eat. After the concert she complained of being dizzy and feeling light-headed. She drank some water, but still felt weak and friends begged her to eat some solid food, but she refused. Minutes later, Britney blacked out and slumped over in her seat motionless, looking like a rag doll. She was out for almost a minute. Everyone around her was in shock. After someone shook her, Britney's eyes opened and there was a collective sigh of relief. She was still a little groggy, but refused to go the hospital." Friends told her former love Justin, who rushed to telephone her to see if she was okay. The source adds, "He was really very concerned. He called Britney to find out how she was feeling. Britney was thrilled he called but it wasn't really what she wanted to talk to him about. She's still pining for him and hoping they'll get back together."

When I read this, I was shocked! I mean, I could have SWORN she was over 21!

Triumph visits a Bon Jovi concert and hilarity ensues. Really... it's damn funny!

This 2 year old went on a joy ride! Weeee! Look, mommy!

This one comes from Kevin:

Two Arabs boarded a flight out of New York bound for the mid-East. One sat in the window seat and the other sat in the middle seat. A seasoned American businessman took the aisle seat. After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in to review an important business file when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a beer if that's OK with you?." "No problem," said the American, "Oh, sit back, I'll get it for you." While he was gone, one of the Arabs picked up the American's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the beer, the other Arab said, "That looks really refreshing, I think I'll have one, too. Will you excuse me?" Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other Arab picked up the other shoe and spat in it. When the American returned to his seat, they all sat back and relaxed for the rest of the long flight, but as the plane was about to land, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. He looked at the Arabs and said, "Why does it have to be this way? How long must this go on. this animosity between our nations, this hatred, this spitting in shoes and pissing in beers. Tell me! How long, HOW LONG?"

Three armed and masked men, one wearing a blond wig and miniskirt, shot a customer during an attempted midday bank robbery Tuesday in the heart of downtown East Hartford.

Interested in more? Did I mention the getaway car exploded? How about now? Here's the link...

NEW YORK (AP) — Court papers filed this week by federal prosecutors detail alleged attempts by Gambino crime family associates to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from action star Steven Seagal. The papers were filed in connection with a bail hearing for reputed Gambino captain Anthony Ciccone, who was among 17 alleged mob figures charged in a 68-count federal racketeering indictment in June. On Tuesday, a federal judge ordered Ciccone to remain in custody. Although the papers did not identify the actor, law enforcement sources have said it is Seagal. Wiretapped conversations show Julius Nasso, Seagal’s longtime producer, participated in demanding that Seagal pay $150,000 to the mob for each movie he made, the papers said. Investigators have said Seagal was so shaken that he paid $700,000 to the mob, though that information was not included in the new filing. Seagal’s attorney, Martin Pollner, had no comment on the case Wednesday.

Normally, I would find this situation apalling, but it's widely known that Seagal is a creep especially when it comes to his dealings with the opposite sex. Check out some information, complements of IMDB.com:
Steven Seagal quotes:

• "I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol."
• On what he thinks are the most important lessons that one should strive to live by in Aikido: "Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with intregrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings."

On Seagal's personal life:

• Arrissa, his youngest child with LeBrock, was named after the family nanny. Seagal then got involved romantically with the nanny who then became pregnant with his child. (So much for integrity and morality!)
• Is the first foreigner ever to own and operate an Aikido dojo in Japan. Known as "Master Take Shigemichi", he was the chief instructor at the Aikido Tenshin Dojo in the city of Osaka. (This particular line is what he uses to pick up chicks... "Hey, I have a dojo. Can I touch your boobies?")

Teddy Dupay, former UF basketball guard, will not have charges filed against him stemming from his 2001 gambling controversy. Read the article here. I understand that people are railing against the teammates that told what they knew about his gambling exploits. I would have done the same thing. No one guy is more important that the team and I honestly believe that the school's quick action saved the team from some serious NCAA violations.

I have finally recovered all of my mail that was being held by the post office. Nice big old pile. My brother called him at his new number (in the gutter?) and left a message telling him that the power bill is due and asking him why he blocked our mail. It was WAY nicer than I would have been. I'm betting he'll stiff us on the power bill. I'll keep you posted.

Oh man, how far they fall. Everyone's favorite 80's rock group, , is playing a free concert. (strike one)

Nasty! Ugh...

Although I'm bristling with anger this morning, I'm still scouring the internet for humor. This site of odd Christian albums struck me as funny. Or would have if I wasn't so pissed.

The dumbass roommate is still haunting me! I haven't received mail for several days so I called the post office and they informed me that a person by the name of "Mike" asked that the mail be put on hold. So the reason I haven't gotten mail is because Mike is a *&%$#*&@ &^%$@#&^!!!!!!!!

Hey! I'm offering a challenge! Send this website URL (http://www.frogbrother.com) to two people that don't know about it. So far, I'm averaging 15 to 20 hits a day and am looking for more! C'mon! You know someone who will think I'm funny...

"Man who had sex with underwear-clad dogs forced to flee". No, I'm not making this stuff up. This guy dressed his dogs in bra and panties and had "relations" with them. Due to the sensitive nature of this article, I'm going to keep the comments to myself. For at least 20 to 25 minutes...

According to police in Manchester, England, a wine bar was rolled by a savage group of clowns and later a pub was robbed by a gang of clowns.. Bozo was unavailable for comment. One of the suspects was recently spotted with uber-criminals "Grimace" and the "Hamburgler".

Sorry about the seeming lack of updates, BTW. There was something wrong with "Blogger" and it wasn't posting my shiznit. Technical difficulties abound.

I was in the Kmart parking lot yesterday (and yes, it was fairly empty) and noticed another NASCAR bumper sticker, which said "I'm not tailgating, I'm drafting!" Ha ha ha ha ha... cough cough... Ahem. Anyway, it inspired me to create my own bumper sticker. I'm printing these up and will make a billion dollars with it.

Here's a suggested album title from reader Chase. Not exactly what he envisioned, I'm sure, but I had to do something with this donkey.

Good morning! In my quest to pinch as many pennies as I can, I have found this site, called FloridaStateGasPrices.com, which is devoted to finding the lowest gas prices in particular cities. Users submit prices at particular stations and that helps to determine where to go to get your gas. What's the point of this? I was driving through Orlando about a month ago and noticed how the price of gas was about 20 cents higher around the Disney entrance than anywhere else in Orlando so I know how the pricing can be set to take advantage of people i.e. near interstate exits, etc. Check it out!

Happy Sunday! I noticed that I had some visitors yesterday and today and I'm overcome with guilt that I hadn't written anything. I've received some ideas for album covers, some useful and some disgusting. (Thanks, Jim!) Anyway, keep sending ideas and I'll keep working on them. It'll be cool, trust me. And send me some "sh*tty roommate" stories! You know you have some!

Even though I'm not currently in a band and even though my girlfriend has stated that she would consider breaking up with me if I ever did join one -- a discussion for another time -- I'm constantly thinking about music and bands and songs and stuff like that. One thing is trying to come up with the ultimate album name. Wanna play? Here's my first attempt... let's see if you can create one and I'll take the concept and make a cover for it!

Your turn! Email your responses to: frogbrother@hotmail.com!

Here's a story I got off of Salon.com. Larry Hagman, TV's J.R. Ewing, has the wacky interview of the month. Here's the selection:

TASTEFUL FUNERAL Ted Williams' heirs may be feuding over what to do with his body now that the legendary slugger has passed on to that field of dreams in the sky, but Larry Hagman, of dimly remembered "Dallas" and "I Dream of Jeannie" fame, is spelling out his last requests in no uncertain terms. "When I die, I want my friends to eat me," Hagman told celebrity researcher Baird Jones the other day. "I want to be fed through a wood chipper, be spread over a wheat field, then have a cake baked from the crop for all my pals to munch on." Don't think he hasn't contemplated the alternatives. "Cremation's fine, but it uses an awful lot of energy," Hagman says. "Burying someone in a steel casket doesn't do any good. I want to return to the earth as soon as possible." Thus, the cake plan. "I want the cake to be made of half marijuana, which makes people so much less violent than booze, and people should learn to eat pot rather than smoke it because it damages the heart and lungs less that way," Hagman opines. Shocked at the aging actor's drug endorsement? Hagman contends you shouldn't be, bleating, "It's high time someone my age talked this way." High being the operative word.

I keep telling myself that I dislike PETA, especially since they support ALF (not the furry alien), but their add campaign is pretty good.

On the edukashun front, three administrators in the California Bay area have resigned in protest of a plan that offers honors classes in english and social studies because it will "lead to segregation". Apparently, these three believe that hispanic students would be excluded and that these students "won't enroll in honors classes even if they can do the work because their parents aren't aware the classes exist and won't push their children to take them."
Ok, Frogbrother. Deep, cleansing breaths. Out with the bad air, in with the good.
