Have You Ever Wanted to Drive a Zamboni?

Have you ever wanted to drive a Zamboni on the ice between periods of a hockey game? Well two idiots in Boise, Idaho took it one step further. They stole a pair of Zamboni’s and went to Burger King for some food. They drove them 1.5 miles at a top speed of 5 mph to the BK near the rink.

Can you imagine your on your way home from being out and you see a Zamboni driving down the street? What do you say to yourself? Is a Zamboni even street legal? I guess if you have the back part of it up, it can run on the street. Well obviously, it can be run on the street since the two idiots took them to Burger King. I wonder if they had their food “Done their way.”

OJ Book and Television Special Cancelled

On Monday afternoon, Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairmen, announced the cancellation of OJ Simpson’s book “If I Did It” and the television specials to promote the book. 12 Fox Affiliates had said they would not air the special and Borders Book Stores had previously announced that they would donate any profits made from the book to charity.

“If I Did It” was supposed to be about how OJ Simpson would have killed his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. OJ was found innocent of these killings in 1995 in criminal proceedings but in a civil suit, he was found criminally liable to the tune of $33 million dollars. The publisher of the book, Judith Regan, of ReganBooks, considered it Simpson’s “confession”.

The television special was to air during November sweeps in an effort to boost ratings for the FOX Network. I can tell you that I for one would have not watched this television show nor would I have read the book. To me its absolutely absurd that he could even write something like that. If he did it, he should just come out and say that. 99% of America already thinks he killed them both anyways so whats the difference.

Kudos to News Corp for making the right decision on this subject.

Naked man arrested for concealed weapon

Here’s a good one for you. A man in El Cerrito, California was arrested carrying a concealed weapon. Well what’s so bad about that you ask? The man was naked. Yes, naked!

When asked if he was carrying anything police should know about, he told the officer that he had a tool concealed in his rectum. This is the officers response:

“You can’t get much more concealed than that.”

Seeing how this man was fresh out of prison, I guess you could make the assumption that he liked things in his butt.

Want a divorce or breakup with your bf/gf?

I know that most of my posts are about sports related stuff but this is something that has caught my eye. If you are looking to either get divorced or breakup with your bf/gf, get your own MTV reality show.In a trend started by Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro, Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker, have followed suit in planning on getting divorced. While Nick and Jessica’s divorce is final, the other two couples have just recently filed papers to end their nuptials.

Also, Lauren Conrad, of The Hills and formerly of Laguna Beach, and Jason Wahler have called it quits. I think this makes the 100th time they have broken up so we shall see about this one. Also from Laguna Beach, Kristin Cavallari had reportedly broken up with her bf, Brody Jenner, one of the Princes of Malibu.

So folks, what does this tell you? It says, get your own MTV reality show if your looking for the perfect way to get a divorce or breakup with your significant other.

Parking tickets


Have you ever gotten a parking ticket for parking where your not supposed to? And do you think to yourself, this fine is a little ridiculous? If you do, don’t be like this idiot.

This guy in Portsmouth, New Hampshire received a parking ticket for parking in a handicapped spot, which carries a $100 fine. There’s a few arguments here that I will present later about that issue in itself but for now I will stick to the story at hand. So when he went to court to protest the ticket, the dude had altered the ticket to make it look like a $20 parking violation. What a dumbass. Anyone who has received tickets (mom and dad if your reading this I really only have 1 or 2 tickets in my life. Actually I lost track of the total) knows that when you get a ticket, you are receiving your copy of the ticket. One copy goes to you, another to the police dept, and the last copy goes to the courthouse usually. So when this dude goes to court and tells the judge its a parking violation, she abruptly corrects him and says no sir it is not. Ummmmmm hello, WTF were you thinking. Was this your first ticket ever? Did you not know there is more than one copy? Were you broke and couldn’t afford the $100 fine? So now because your an idiot, you are being charged with forgery and now could face 3 1/2 to 7 years in prison..Probably because you were too lazy to find parking and saw the handicapped spot open at the front of wherever you were.

I myself have a handicapped sticker. And nothing pisses me off more than seeing someone parked in a handicapped spot when they don’t have the pass. Most of times you see this at the grocery stores that contain banks in them. If you ask the person why they parked there usually the response you will get is “oh the spot was open and I was just running in to use the ATM”. Well there’s a reason those spots are open. I will say that I don’t always use the handicapped spots because I do feel there are some people more handicapped than I am. But be real, those spots are meant for the handicapped. Not some idiot who has to run into the bank real quick or the store because they are going thru a nicotine fit and need their precious smokes.

I hope you get sentenced to do time in prison. You will get laughed at when your in there because you were an idiot to change your ticket. And remember handicapped spots are for handicapped people.

Attempted Murder on Radish

Ok this one was too good to pass up. Radish in intensive care after murder attempt. No, Radish is not the person’s last name but the rather the vegetable which we so enjoy in our salads.

Seems a small town in Japan had a radish growing along the side of the road. Is this normal you ask, I would have to think having vegetation growing out of the road is normal yes but the townspeople admired the radish. It even had its own nickname, “Gutsy Radish”. This radish was so popular that when news broke of the attempted murder of the radish, people were distraught.

Timeout here. We are talking about a radish. The vegetable. Used in some in their salads, garnish on the table and other things. We aren’t talking about some guy with the last name of radish. This made the TV news in Japan. Can you picture watching NBC Nightly news and the lead in story is “Radish in intensive care after murder attempt.” Half the people watching the news would be like ummmm who’s this radish fellow. The other half would pay no mind to the plight of this radish. Would the networks be fighting for the TV rights of the radish’s struggles to make it back to life and/or movie rights? Will Court TV send Diane Diamond to cover the trial? Hey maybe when the radish is feeling up to it, Larry King can have him/her/it on the show. Or better yet, Geraldo can do an expose on the life of this radish and what led the person to try killing the radish. The possibilities are endless.

I feel sorry for whoever tried to “murder the radish.” The person will probably be hung. Think about, was this radish going to live a full life. Or was someone eventually going to get curious and see how it tasted. I mean we are talking about a radish here. Do we really care that someone tried to murder a radish? If you answered yes, then you are just as crazy as the person who tried to murder the beloved radish.

I for one look forward to my next salad as I will be ordering one with extra radishes and of course balsamic vinegar.
