Animal carcasses snarl traffic in Wisconsin
A highway in Wisconsin Rapids, WI was blocked off Monday after a truck dumped animal parts on the road. (WARNING: graphic image!) Westbound traffic on the expressway was forced to use the left turn lane to get around the mess, Wesener said. He was pleased that drivers slowed down and were courteous to each other as they merged into one lane during peak traffic time.I bet some of the courteous drivers pulled over to the side of the road to 'collect' some 'free groceries'.

Power Eight - Week Three
Not many changes in this week's Power Eight. West Virginia drops out of my list for a surprise loss to in-state rival Marshall while Derik drops Michigan State from his list for a loss to in-state rival Michigan. Same eight teams; different order:

Just Give Me the Damn Baguette!
 Bread-hungry Californians may soon find themselves dining at Panera franchise cafes owned by outspoken and outstanding NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, who has inked a deal with the company to open 12 bakery-cafes in the coming years.First Picks is headed by NFL star and businessman Keyshawn Johnson, who brings considerable experience as a franchise operator to his latest endeavor with Panera Bread. Johnson has owned and operated the fine dining restaurants Reign in Beverly Hills, CA and Profusion in Tampa, FL, and currently operates a multi-unit entity of Cold Stone Creamery stores in Dallas, TX.That's two of my favorite places! Keyshawn has good business sense. Panera and Cold Stone both offer delicious treats and make tons of cash. Keyshawn may have made a mistake by joining the Dallas Cowboys but at least he didn't buy any Krispy Kreme franchises. Sunday, January 22, 2006
Power Eight - Week Two
There are no more undefeated teams in the country and the lists are rightly shuffled. Derik moves UConn to the top spot and I introduce them into the bottom of my list. Duke is still number one after fighting hard in a road loss to a tough Georgetown squadron; Derik dropped them to fourth:

Celebrity NFL Picks - Conference Championships
 Just in case you're keeping score at home, Derik is picking Pittsburgh and Seattle to win while I am going with both road teams Pittsburgh and Carolina. It's been a wonderful NFL season and I can't believe that it's all ending tomorrow! Conference Championship Sunday is always the day that the highest quality football is played; there are no super-sized distractions to the game, no two-week period of hype building up to a normally sub-par exhibition of one conference dominating another. Chances are you're going to see at least one good, close game. Super Bowl Sunday is more bacchanalian ritual than gridiron gladiator contest. Although three of the last four Super Bowl games have been close right down to the end, New England won all three so they don't count. Long live Conference Championship Sunday!Evening Quickie - Car Crashes into KFC
Dateline: Winter Garden, Florida. KFC Restaurant Evacuated After SUV Crashes Through Wall Sunday, January 15, 2006
Power Eight - Week One
New weekly feature here at the ol' website: Derik and Rob will rank the top eight Division I men's college basketball teams in the country. No computers, no AP writers, no coaches, no rhyme, no reason...just our pure, unadulterated biases. Enough chit-chat, let's get to the rankings!

Car crashes into Chinese buffet
 Thanks to 52-year-old Dorothy Lovato and her little "blacking-out-while-driving" incident, you can now find a 2001 Honda Accord between the shrimp dumplings and the pork fried rice at the China Super Buffet in Los Lunas, CA. Asked for a comment after plowing through the Chinese restaurant, Lovato said, "I feel okay now but I'll probably want to crash into another one in a hour."Friday, January 13, 2006
Celebrity NFL Picks - Divisional Playoffs
Derik is leading me by 6 games with only 7 games left to be played this year and therefore only needs to pick two games the same to clinch the season title. Let's see how it wrings out:

Van full of puppies crashes into diner
 An 84-year-old Kentucky man crashed his van into a local diner Monday afternoon. Estill Trail, 84, parks his old retired ass outside the diner on a daily basis and sells wooden handles and puppies. His reason for the crash? The old "my foot slipped off the brake pedal onto the gas" excuse. Crazy old coot. No injuries were reported, but one of the puppies in the back of the van landed on the dashboard after the van plowed into the building.(Mr. Trail) said he should've paid more attention to a dream he had Sunday night, where he was involved in an accident and the police were called.Uhhhh...yeah, crazy old man. Maybe you should start listening to the voices in your head. THAT'LL DEFINITELY HELP! Dick Codey is my hero
 Come April 15th, New Jerseyans will finally be able to breathe in bars thanks to the 64-12 Assembly vote in favor of the smoking ban, a bill that will be the final gold star on the uniform of departing Governor Richard Codey. Exempt from the ban are bars that generate at least 15% income from tobacco sales and, since protecting gambling revenue is more important than protecting workers' health, casinos. From the New York Times: Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, a Democrat who represents Union County and whose family owns Cryan's Pub in South Orange, was one of those leading an effort to weaken the bill's chances by making it stronger. He had said he was considering offering an amendment that would have subjected casinos to the smoking ban, but it never materialized on Monday when the ban was presented for a vote in the Assembly.Asshole. Once the ban goes into effect, expect heart attacks to go down and noise complaints in some neighborhoods to go up as smokers will be forced to go outside to partake. Bonus legislation: the year-long moratorium on the ol' death penalty. Monday, January 09, 2006
Lindsay Lohan Calendar
After three years of "Sopranos" calendars, I've 'graduated' to a Lindsay Lohan calendar for 2006. So sue me. She's a coked out anorexic and I love her. You can take the girl out of Long Island, but you can't take the Long Island out of the girl. Celebrity NFL Picks - Wild Card Playoffs recap
We all know that the regular season weeks are simply a warm-up for the real contests that are the playoff weeks. And of course, that is when the true prognosticator comes out to shine. Rob wins his first week, 3 games to 2.

Celebrity NFL Picks - Wild Card Playoffs
I may have never beaten Derik during the regular season and I may still trail him 29 to 22 but it's the playoffs and we've both qualified! Huzzah!

So I finally have a successful weekend of picking NFL contests and I end up tying Derik because we picked the exact same teams to win. Go figure...

Patrick Cranshaw dead at 86
 Well, yes but Blue was really old. And I feel pretty confident when we get the autopsy back it'll say natural causes. |
