'Idol' Champ Fantasia Reveals She Can Hardly Read Or Write

Next we'll hear that Jessica Simpson has trouble with long division or Britney Spears can't count past 20.


Can't read? Can't write? Doesn't mean you can't put out a book.

Science put to good use

Once again the United States is slipping further and further ('farther and farther?' I don't know) behind other countries in science and technology. While we're concerned with sending men to the moon again, look what Germany is doing: Beer mat knows when it is refill time

Screw you McDonalds!

I am no longer a slave to you McD's! No more am I allowed only to enjoy your tasty McMuffins between 6:00am - 10:00am. I can now make my own whenever I want!

I am the proud new owner of an Egg & Muffin Toaster from the good folks at Back to Basics.


It resides nicely next to my pizza oven and George Foreman Grill.





Just like McDonalds except I am eating it at 7:00pm and my orange juice has vodka in it.

Hungover HNT

I completely forgot about HNT when I was throwing back beers at 1:30am. So a good hungover shot always works, in a pinch. Damn, I'm lookin' good!

Guidelines for "Half-Nekkid Thursday"

It's looking like work-from-home-Thursday

After a few drinks at the local bar, followed by a few more drinks, I returned home to fall asleep for a little while. Refreshed by my little nap, I grabbed another beer and finished off some leftover macaroni salad which may or may not still have been edible. Guess I'll find out later.

I really have nothing to say here. I just entered this post to prove that I still get drunk.

By the way, I still haven't been able to find one of the egg & muffin toasters in town. My search continues tomorrow.

My breakfast problems are solved

I will no longer be forced to conform to McDonald's concept of when breakfast should be. Who the hell is up by 10:00am on the weekends?

I'm off to Wal-mart today.

Sign of a good night

You know how you tell that you had a good night? You have to be carried out of the bar.

I think that somebody may have put something in my drinks. But then I guess it could just have been all the vodka.

Breakfast update

Well, it's 10:45am. McDonalds is through serving breakfast and I don't have an Egg McMuffin.

It's 11 o'clock on a Friday

I don't have anything to say here. But I wanted to make an entry just so I could convey my current state of drunkenness.

My girlfriend just volunteered to get McDonalds breakfast tomorrow morning. Often on the weekends one of us says we will get up in time to get McD's breakfast but it rarely actually happens. So, we'll see.

Let the drinking begin!

Actually it already has. I got a half hour left of work but it is work-from-home-Friday and I can sign on to my instant messenger on my cell phone so there really is no way for the boss to know where I'm at.

With that, I'm off to the bar. Looking forward to moving that drunk meter up a few notches tonight.

During my extensive research on Chachi I came across a 1982 movie called "Zapped!" I had never even heard of it until now.

"A young high school student develops telekinetic powers and uses them for nothing more than ripping girls' clothes off."

How did I let that one slip by me? Someone will be hitting Blockbuster this weekend.

Do I get the Amsterdam Channel?

Dutch Talk-Show Host to Take Heroin on Air

A couple of things hit me about this article:

1. Amsterdam has some cool television
2. 'The Shoot Up and Swallow Show' is the best name ever for a TV show

They've also aired a program called 'This Is How You Screw' that showed how to have sex in a nightclub and featured mannequins with sex organs.

And tonight we Americans get to watch 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

"Hello, cable company. I'd like to order the Amsterdam Channel."

Wolf Blitzer stops broadcasting as werewolf

CNN journalist Wolf Blitzer announced yesterday that he would no longer transform into a werewolf for his broadcasts.

“To be fair the my colleagues in the news business, today will be the last time I broadcast as a werewolf,” Blitzer said on Tuesday’s “The Situation Room,” the CNN newscast that he hosts.

Rival reporters have often complained that Blitzer’s wolf powers gave him an unfair advantage when reporting the news. During the Gulf War, Blitzer devoured an ABC news crew to be first on the scene following a ground attack. He coverage in Kuwait earned him a CableAce award.

Blitzer also said he will change the name of his Sunday talk show to “Late Edition with Steve Blitzer” and that he will no longer eat live rabbits in the CNN lunchroom.
