(so much for PM vacation) 

I didn’t know shadow hand puppets could be so entertaining.  This is definitely worth the look-n-see…

(ok, back on vacation) 




Flynt To Play Ball

Mike Flynt is 59-years-old.  He tried out for college football this summer at Sul Ross State in Alpine, Texas – yeah, I know, powerhouse – and made the team 37 years after being kicked-off the squad for excessive fighting.

Mike Flynt was drinking beer and swapping stories with some old football buddies a few months ago when he brought up the biggest regret of his life: Getting kicked off the college team before his senior year.

Flynt returned to Sul Ross State this month…six years before he goes on Medicare. His comeback peaked Wednesday with the coach saying he’s made the Division III team’s roster. He could be in action as soon as Sept. 1.  [SOURCE]

Wow.  This one concerns me.  Male osteoporosis is more common than you might think.  Particularly with 21-year-old farm-raised Texans bearing down on ya.   I’m turning a cold-shoulder.  I can’t watch the impending 57-year-old bone-shrapnel.   Yeah, I can blog about it.  No, can’t condone it.   OK, Bye.

Bill Murray was pulled over for being intoxicated while driving his golf cart in downtown Stockholm on Sunday.   The actor refused to take a breath test and could face charges in 14-days when the results come back.

Police officers spotted the 56-year-old actor-comedian early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.

Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.

“Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America,” Holmlund said  [SOURCE]

Uh, you think he went back to America?  Rocket scientist are ya?   Maybe there’s some elaborate, secret DUI extradition treaty that the U.S. has with Sweden?   Yeah.  Maaaybee!!   Bye bye Stockholm, it’s been real!!

Seriously.  The callousness of Bill to step behind the wheel of a golf cart while drinking his shameful!  Kids, please, don’t ever drink and play golf!  It’s a recipe for disaster!

It’s up and running.   A few tweaks here and there but I’m glad to finally have this sucker up!  Thanks, Mark!







This is a bit of old story.  But with the recent news of ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes attempt to run on a treadmill for 24 hours straight for 153.76 miles - which would break the Guinness World Record - I thought I’d revisit the stationary bike record attempted back in Janauary of this year.   85 hours straight.

85 hours straight?!   Serious?  That’s 3.5 days on a bike going nowhere.  Off all the records to pop, not sure what’s enticing about this one.   So you can have a bike seat reflex semi-chub for 3+days?  Guys, you know what I’m saying?!   Also, do you just shit yourself as you peddle?   What’s the ruling from Guinness on potty breaks?  Here’s the story on his attempt at the record:

George Hood may have pedaled his way into the Guinness World Records book on Saturday night.

The 49-year-old Aurora resident began riding a stationary bike at the Five Seasons Sports Club in Burr Ridge at 4 a.m. Wednesday and surpassed the previous record of 82 hours by 8:28 p.m. Saturday. He stopped several minutes before midnight after completing his goal of 85 hours.

“He’s very grateful — and very tired,” said Matt Baron, a spokesman for Five Seasons.

Baron said Hood was talking and thanking his supporters right up to the end, but was taken by paramedics to a hospital as a precaution after he got off the bike.

Crazy thing is….the record was later nullified for excessive potty breaks.   So, they DO have rulings and you really DON’T have to shit yourself!   Apparently, he had irregularities in his log book.
