Today's Question: When referring to the Space Shuttle What is Max Q?

Answer: The Key milestone during a launch when the shuttle goes under the most mechanical or structural stress.

Atlantis Launched today by the way. I was listening to the audio from NASA TV and they mentioned the shuttle was traveling at that moment around 2,000 miles an hour. Whoa...caught me off guard. I knew it went really fast and I know a lot about the shuttle, but think about being in a vehicle as a human being traveling that fast...unreal.

~Famous For A Day~

Reggie Waller has started a business called Private Paparazzi. His Job, to follow you around and give you the Famous treatment at least from a Papparazzi stand point. It includes limo rides and photographers following you around.

Reggie says his fake photogs are polite courteous and try to provide all they can for their clients.

Wait a minute, can you be getting the real Paparazzi feel with polite photographers? I want my money back!

~In Other Famous News...~

Kristen Stewart of "Twilight" fame is a different type of young celebrity. I gotta say I am happy to see it too. Only 19 she has grown up watching the less than graceful flame outs by Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and appears to want to avoid all that. She Keeps her private life relatively private and keeps her clothes on too. There's a novel idea. Stewart says it really irks her when others criticize her for not giving everyone the circus (no pun intended Brit Brit) that they expect. So, I am giving some major props to Kristen Stewart for appearing to be level headed, down to earth and wise beyond her years in a zoo like Hollywood. I'm not going to say it is going to inspire me to see the next Twilight movie, but I still respect her

Editors Note: I must say that it at least looks like Britney has grown up quite a bit which makes me happy, I really want the best for these people, Lindsay is another story. The other night Lohan cussed a bartender after he gave her the bill for the two expensive bottles of champagne she downed, I'm assuming with friends, and then said she didn't pay for drinks. She in fact didn't and borrowed a friends credit card to pay up.

I'm no better than those I mention in this blog, you just kind of shake your head sometimes and wish they would get their act together for their sake.

~How Far We've Come~

The 1768 version of Encyclopedia Brittanica has some interesting facts that I don't think would fly these days...

-- The three-volume book includes 40 pages devoted to the diseases of horses and 40 pages about algebra – but no information about children.

-- Homo sapiens were sub divided into five varieties: the American, the European, the Asiatic, the African and the monstrous.

-- California was spelled with two "L's" and described as ‘a large country of the West Indies. Unknown whether it is an island or a peninsula.’

-- Toothache cures included drinking laxatives or bleeding in the foot. If the tooth is rotten ‘it will be best to burn the nervous cord which is the seat of the pain with a cautery; and then the cavity may be filled up with a mixture of wax and maslich’.

I'm not even going into the cures for flatulence... let's just say Whoa!

~Entertainment News~

Cake Boss is whacking Jon and Kate Plus 8 and taking its time slot later this month as the scandalized show finally goes off the air. So does this mean the Christmas get together is off?

Robert Plant probably won't be getting back together with Led Zepplin any time soon. He hates Stairway to Heaven and refuses to perform it! That's right in 2007 he wouldn't do the reunion show unless Stairway was in the middle of the show and stayed true to the album version. It could not be the finale. He reportedly doesn't care for the 7 hour Jimmy Page solos either as part of his gripe.

~Punked By Pickler!...Come Again?!~

So, Kellie Pickler put on a show for a crowd at the Country Music Hall of Fame this week. While she was warming up they gave her some guitars to sign for charity auctions. She then told her handlers she had finished signing the guitars including that other big black guitar on the other side of the case. That guitar belonged Johnny Cash! Pickler said she didn't recognize the signature and put her John Hancock on the guitar too.

Cue Mass Hysteria and Overall freak out by record reps and her handlers. One called Sharpie immediately to learn the best way to get the marker off the guitar. She then confessed that she had not signed it but her people didn't believe her! (Makes you wonder what they really think of her) She ran off the stage to prove to them she never really signed it.

Kellie Pickler punked someone? She's more cunning than expected. Maybe not as, air headed as once believed. We'll have to watch that one, she had us all tricked.

Hey Y'all, I got a secret...I have an IQ of 25,000. Pick Pickler!

~A New Way To Be Famous~

A Peruvian man had 1.5 pounds of metal (including nails, coins, scrap metal, and copper wire) in his stomach. He came to the hospital with chest pain and doctors thought it was appendicitis only to find a hole in his stomach and the metal. He said he had been eating metal for months and was considering doing it for public sport. He is currently under mental examination.

Is fame really worth all that?

~He Really Loves His Quesadillas~

In Connecticut I reported the story about the chewing gum thieves. Apparently the state is wanting to change its slogan to "Home Deranged Burglars" after this latest story. A man armed with a knife walked into a Grocery Store and stole four blocks of Colby Jack Cheese. I enjoy Colby Jack cheese too, but not enough to steal it.

Anyway, the thief was approached by a manager who tried to stop him, but the thief slashed at the manager and threatened to injure him next time he came into the store. ("Honey? I'm going to the store to pick up those things you wanted and to cut that manager") Thankfully no one was injured and police caught the man shortly there after.

You see when you get rid of the cat burglars, the mouse burglars show up.

~Oh Good Grief!~

So apparently the Harry Potter game Quidditch has taken to college campuses. I have some criticisms, but they would probably be uncharitable. In case you were wondering what this game entails, I have a video below. Make up your own mind on this one.

Quidditch for Dummies:




I remember a video from years ago about this very subject I posted it below too.



~Return of the Re gift~


OK, Bad Economy = Good excuse to re gift. A new survey out this year says that 36% of adults will re gift. That is up 5% from last year and 12% from two years ago. That's assuming people are just starting rather than just finally fessing up to years of the practice. So go ahead and blow the dust off that fruit cake you got seven years ago and pass it on. They never go bad anyway, fruit cakes are going to outlast roaches.



~Grand Theft Spearmint~


Reports from Connecticut indicate a rise in chewing gum theft. Yes, chewing gum theft. Word is there is a black market for all kinds of things and one of those is gum. One man stole $800 worth of Orbit gum in March and a recent theft on November 1st had a man stealing $175. Thieves are using the gum to advance their other bad habits of drugs and alcohol, according to some officials.

Interestingly enough, a story was also out today about chewimg gum possibly being an appetite deterrant and causing those who chew gum in the morning to eat 68 less calories in the day. If that's true, why isn't anyone questioning Richard Simmons about the gum thefts?

Could this be the face of a terrorizing chewing gum thief?

~Mr. Boots Is Vulnerable Too!?!~

A cat in Iowa has contracted and recovered from Swine Flu. Unfortunately two ferrets in Oregon and Nebraska did not fare so well. Doctors are saying there is no proof that the virus can jump from household pets to owners and vice versa. Experts say you may want to take precautions if you come down with H1N1 just in case to protect your furry friends. And Suddenly I think I am going to pour all my investing power into animal surgical masks.



~Seat Belt Mounted Air Bags~



Ford Motor Company is adding seat belt mounted air bags to the 2011 Explorer SUV next fall. The belts have a cylindrical air bag that stretches from the buckle to the shoulder and is inside a pocket sewn into the belt. It inflates more gently than other bags in the front and with cooler air that is safer for children.

The belt bag will distribute crash forces across the occupants chest with less chance of injury and supports the occupants neck and head.

On further thought, how much will it cost to replace one that deploys, it costs a ton to replace a front bag. Is it worth the cost?

With air bags on almost everything now, how long until we get air bags for our coffee cups? "My car was totaled, but I didn't lose one drop of my Double Espresso Mocha Choco Rama Lama Ding Dong Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Frappe!"



~Unbelievable~


A guy in Appleton, Wisconsin, clearly doesn't understand the concept of a drive-by shooting. Andrew Burwitz tried to shoot up his ex-girlfriend's home while cruising, but forgot to roll down the car window. Glass shattered all over the place after the shot, and he was quickly traced by police.



~A Video Reward For All Your Hard Work This Week~

The Off Beat : What I'm listening to at the moment..

Here is a new section to Five Oclock Jock dealing with what music I am listening to at the moment and sometimes we'll bring in other DJ's here at the station to tell us what's currently on their favorites list. Some of it you can hear on K98, but not always. Let's get started!

OWL CITY: Ocean Eyes

Spinning right now in the CD Player and on my iPod is Owl City. Everything about this CD is fresh, crisp, and refreshing. I would classify it as pop techno, but not the booty shakin' grind music you might hear in a club. Almost all the tracks have a positive, uplifting feel to them. You would almost think you could take flight after making it all the way through the album.

Favorite Tracks:

1. Cave In: A strong catchy start to the album is all I can say, I just really like this song.
3. Hello Seattle: A tip of the hat to the northwest with some great imagery and music that makes me smile.
6. Dental Care: This is a fun song and he really turns some phrases lyrically in this song that are really impressive and creative, though that isn't rare for the CD overall.
7. Meteor Shower: Wow! The shortest song on the album, but emotionally one of the largest. It shouts hope in the few lyrics that are sung and just engulfs me in wonder. (not meaning to get to poetic about it) Some pretty Biblical concepts really stand out in this song.
9. Fireflies: How can you not like this song?
10. The Tip of the Iceberg: Epic and Fun
11. Vanilla Twilight: Laid back, sweet, and sad
12. Tidal Wave: Its a hopeful song and I am always a fan of that.

So, I am pretty much a fan of the whole CD. Check out Owl City: Ocean Eyes and I think if it winds up in your stereo or iPod its gonna get well worn.

~If You Disguise Yourself Like This, Is There Any Doubt You'll Get Caught?~



Florida-Suspects in an attempted burglary at a Carroll apartment Friday night weren't too difficult to identify.

A resident called 911 to report two men with their faces painted black were trying to break into an apartment.

Moments later, Carroll police officers pulled over a car matching the suspects' vehicle a couple blocks away and found the two occupants with faces blackened by a permanent marker.

Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, were arrested without incident.

Police said the caller described two males with painted faces and wearing black hooded sweatshirts attempting to enter an apartment

The guy on top looks like he got his inspiration from a raccoon...that's just special.

~Forget Mossy Oak, How About Some Shiny Tile Camo For This Guy~

FORT WALTON BEACH, FL -- Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man for shoplifting after he tried to steal clothing and darts from the Fort Walton Beach Walmart.

The defendant allegedly picked up a camouflage hat, jacket, and a set of darts. He pulled the tags off the camouflage hat and jacket, put them on, and then hid the darts on his person.

He then walked past the registers and out of the store. The camouflage failed to hide him from Walmart Loss Prevention officers, who detained and handcuffed him. No word if he thought the camo would hide him from cameras in the store. And Darts? Really? Maybe he’s tired of getting spanked by his buddies down at the bar when they play.

He was arrested later by deputies. It truly is The Redneck Riviera.

~Not So Happy Hour~

Sad news coming from the land of Tater Tots and Extra Long Chili Cheese Coneys, The Founder of Sonic Drive-Ins passed away Monday. He was 87 and founded his first Sonic in 1959.

~More Cinema Sequels: Proof That Original Ideas Really Are Dead These Days~

There's another "Mad Max" movie in the works. The original film starred MEL GIBSON as Max Rockatansky, an ex-cop set in a future where there was little gas to be had and gangs which preyed on drivers.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film has actually been in the works for more than a decade, and at one point Mel was supposed to reprise his role. But those days are gone, and now it looks like TOM HARDY --whose claim to fame was playing Handsome Bob in GUY RITCHIE's "RocknRolla"-- will be Mad Max and CHARLIZE THERON is in talks to co-star.

The new film will be called "Fury Road," and is set shortly after "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."

Will Tina Turner Show Back Up? We Can Only Hope!



There will also be a "Men in Black 3." The Hollywood Reporter says Sony has hired the guy who wrote "Tropic Thunder" for BEN STILLER (oh boy...) but there's still no word on whether WILL SMITH or TOMMY LEE JONES --both of whom were in the original-- will be back for the sequel.

If they don't pick up both Jones and Smith, that thing will probably go straight to VHS.....Yes, I Meant to say VHS.

Team of the Week

Congrats to the Pleasant Valley Raiders!

They are this week's 979WVOK and Mr. Graphics Team of the Week. Their fans invaded the phone lines and scored the team a shiny new plaque. We'll be at the pep rally this Friday to award the team. Great Job Raiders!

~The Pentagon's New Deadly Weapon~

A man in Florida this week tried to steal a Ferret from a pet store by shoving it in his pants. (Let's all avoid the obvious joke here shall we?) After exiting the store a 17-year-old confronted the man. The thief then took out the ferret squeezed it causing the critter to bite the witness.

So the guy gets charges for theft and battery with a special weapon because under Florida law, that squeeze turned Mr. Ferret into a special weapon.


~Oh Baby! Free Flights for Life~

Agence France-Presse says a baby boy was born last week aboard an AirAsia flight over Malaysia. The budget airline says that qualifies the child and his mother for complimentary tickets for life.

31-year-old LIEW SIAW went into labor, causing the crew to make an emergency landing. She managed to deliver her baby just before the plane touched down in Kuala Lumpur. She named the baby after the airline. The boy's name is ASIA LIEW YA HANG. Ya Hang means "Air Asia" in Chinese.

That's going to make it hard for Mom and Pops to keep up with him when the street light comes on outside. How do you whistle loud enough from the front porch to get your kid home when he is two continents away?

And now, your disturbing commercial of the day...

I was wondering what happened to Kenner Toys the other day. Obviously this happened.

Lost VHS Footage is a Festival

A festival is starting its trek across the country this season whose sole purpose is to show those old, embarrasing, weird, and hilarious VHS tapes lost to time and people. Some of the highlights are an old dating VHS, a training video from Mcdonald's, and more.

So the question is: Are there embarrassing or hilarious VHS tapes out there of you? I watched an old wedding video from a friend of mine. I have a tape floating around somewhere of me riding a plastic trash can like a bullrider (Complete with cowboy hat...Howdy ;-)) Then again are all your moments now on youtube? Feel free to comment, it might wind up on air.

Rumor is that Notre Dame and Ohio State didn't make it because ESPN had nothing to do with the list.

Montgomery County Animal Shelter Closing:

For all of those posting the closing of the Montgomery County Animal Shelter...that would be Montgomery, Texas. Yeah I saw this on several Facebook Status Posts the other day. I'm sure the animals appreciate your thoughts though. IN case you were wondering the place in Texas was closing due to having to relocate when the city and the shelter couldn't come to an agreement. All the animals were adopted. Sticky the cat (see above) appreciates your big hearts too.

Ultimate Fighting, Alcohol, and Windows= Bad Idea

So a 25 year old Ultimate Fighting fan and his buddy were horsing around in a hotel room in New Mexico. His name was Darnelle Harris. During the unsanctioned (probably no holds barred) hotel room match, Harris's buddy/"sparring partner" pushed him toward the window where he proceeded to crash through. He fell 3 stories and sadly didn't make it to the hospital. The Best Western Inn and Suites that the two were staying at said Harris had to hit the window hard because it was a quarter inch thick and supposedly shatter proof. So if you like imitating guys who step into a ring to beat the heck out of each other, alcohol is not for you my friend. You've been warned.

Watch What You're Pointing That Thing!

91 year old Robert Thompson was sound asleep in his home when he was awakened by the sound of his dog growling ad attacking a burglar. So the WWII vet did what anyone would do, he jumped out of bed and held the sucker at gun point until police came....While he was naked...Yikes. He chewed the guy out while they waited. (probably the worst "When I Was Your Age Talk of all time") Thompson said he didn't even realize he was naked during the incident.

The thief was probably arrested twice that night. Once by the sight of Thompson and then by Police. No word if the perp is going to press charges for unlawful exposure.

What about the Dog's Feelings?

Doreen Houseman and Eric Dare have been locked in a bitter custody battle since 2006. Thankfully, kids are not involved, but a dog is involved. After three years of litigation, a judge has ruled for joint custody...of a dog. The pug was given a value of $1500. Another court ruled that Doreen couldn't just be paid off by Eric because the dog was like an heirloom in legal terms and had more value. Doreen is happy because she loved the dog and would dress up the pug and shower him with gifts. Eric is considering an appeal.

I just hope they don't try to compete for the dog's love, then again I am sure the dog is pretty pumped about getting dressed up again. Did I mention Steve and Julie are having a dress your pet contest?

Old School

Bob Kirk built a Wiffle Ball Stadium in his back yard for his and the neighbors' kids. It has lights, bases, chalk for base lines, and a big American flag.

Beatlemania is striking the world again. Today marks the release of the remastered collection of The Beatles complete catalog. People were up early all over the world in order to get their hands on the cleaned up albums.

Also today, "The Beatles: Rock Band" releases to the world of wannabe members of the Fab Four.

I just wonder if there will be a resurgence of the screaming masses? 50 and 60-something ladies screaming their hearts out again for The Beatles...Yikes!

LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, MR. LENO:

Jay Leno is pumped about a new segment where celebrities will race go-karts in studio. The Celebs will get training and practice time before the appearance. Jay still thinks there will still be lots of wrecks and will be a big hit with audiences.
They are thinking there will be plenty of cursing too. Hey, if there is no wardrobe malfunction it should be ok though, right? ;-)


A NEW, QUICKER WAY TO CLOG THOSE ARTERIES KIDS

Ok, so we have had the deep fried snickers, fried ice cream, fried twinkies, double dipped donuts, fried brownies, etc. Was there any doubt that this would eventually happen?

I'm speaking of the latest rage...Deep Fried Butter. Its a ball of whipped butter flavored a variety of ways, wrapped in dough and fried. It won this year's Most Creative Award at The Big Tex Choice Awards for the best new foods at the upcoming State Fair of Texas.

Cardiologists rejoice! The down economy doesn't seem like it will be affecting your business at all.

KURT COBAIN will be featured as a playable character in "Guitar Hero 5." The late NIRVANA leader performs "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and a previously unreleased live version of "Lithium." The video game will be available in September.

SCAM ALERT:

If your iPod breaks, you're probably better off just buying a new one. Or cranking up your radio more. Some of those who claim they can fix busted MP3 players are con artists.
That includes 23-year-old NICHOLAS WOODHAMS from Kalamazoo, Michigan. WOOD-TV reports he set up a mail fraud and money laundering scheme back in 2006 that helped him fool nearly 9-thousand people.
Nick would promise to repair your iPod Shuffle, but then used the serial number to get replacements from Apple. He sold those on eBay for $49-dollars each to fuel a luxurious lifestyle, and you were still without your nifty little music player.
A Michigan court accepted Nick's guilty plea this week, then forced him to give up his suburban house, his Audi S-4, and his motorcycle. Nicholas also has to pay Apple back almost $650-thousand dollars for scamming them, and $8-grand to the post office. That's assuming he can make money honestly after he gets out of prison sometime in late 2010.

Pass the Cheese Dip Please
Guadalajara, Mexico finally boasts the world's biggest mariachi band. (Yikes)
549 musicians got together to win the record for the birthplace of mariachi Sunday, playing several songs in just over 10 minutes, closing with favorites Cielito Lindo and Guadalajara.

The old record belonged to 520 mariachis who performed in San Antonio in 2007.
Record-breaking is all the rage in Mexico.
On Saturday, thousands in Mexico City claimed they put on the largest Thriller dance by people performing simultaneously in one place. The Guinness official at that event said a decision on whether they did will be made in a week.
Mexico also boasted the world's biggest cheesecake and group kiss earlier this year.



Reality TV: Eventually The Death of All of Us

It's a matter of time before this happens in the West, but in Pakistan, a reality TV show contestant drowned while doing a stunt for the show. He was saddled with a 15 pound backpack and told to swim across a lake, and he went under. I bet the producers thought at least for a fleeting moment that this would be great for ratings.

That’s not all though. A contestant in the Bulgarian version of Survivor died of a heart attack in May after an unspecified challenge.

Show Post 8/26 and 8/27: Mr. T, Jessica Biel, and Bob Dylan Walk into a Bar

Jessica Biel could be infectious (for your computer)

McAfee says fans searching for "Jessica Biel" or "Jessica Biel downloads," and "Jessica Biel videos" have a one in five chance of landing at a website that's tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.
Cybercriminals, it warns, are savvy about celebrity gossip and lure surfers seeking the latest stories and ringtones to sites offering free downloads laden with malware.

Below are the 15 most dangerous celebs to download.

15. reality star Kim Kardashian
14. actress Lindsay Lohan. Like Britney Spears, McAfee found several Lindsay Lohan sites embedded with more than 50 free screen savers infected with Trojans, viruses and spyware.
13. singer Rihanna
12. Britney Spears. McAfee found that just one site promoting free Britney Spears' wallpaper was embedded with more than 50 potentially infected downloads.
11. actress Reese Witherspoon
10. Brad Pitt
9. Ashley Tisdale, star of "High School Musical"
8. Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie (tie)
7. singer /actress Miley Cyrus
6. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen
5. Jessica Simpson
4. New England QB Tom Brady
3. Jennifer Aniston. McAfee says more than 40% of the Google search results for "Jennifer Aniston screensavers" contained nasty viruses, including one called the "FunLove virus."
2. Beyoncé
1. Jessica Biel

First Sleepless in Seattle, now Naked in New York (not another Naked Cowboy story)

NEW YORK—Some guests at a New York City hotel near an elevated park have been offering unobstructed views of themselves.
Guests at the Standard Hotel in Manhattan keep failing to close the curtains as they frolic naked in front of their rooms' floor-to-ceiling windows, easily viewed from the High Line park below. The park recently opened atop an abandoned elevated rail line.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has called the hotel's window action "unacceptable."
Aaron Lipman works in the neighborhood and says the shows are "healthy and fun." He says they're like TV's "Wild Kingdom."
The hotel issued a statement Monday saying its managers will try to "remind guests of the transparency" of the windows.
The hotel won an award from the Municipal Arts Society of New York for best new building erected last year.

Looks like the MR.T's replacement in the new "A-Team" movie is set. UFC fighter QUINTON 'Rampage' JACKSON has reportedly signed to play B-A "Bad Attitude" Baracus in the remake. Rappers THE GAME and 50 CENT had both been in the running for the role, but apparently were not able to come to terms.
LIAM NEESON and "Hangover" and "Nip/Tuck" star BRADLEY COOPER are already confirmed for the film; Neeson will play "A-Team" leader Colonel Hannibal Smith, while Cooper will take on the role of Templeton "Faceman" Peck. Still no word on who'll play the role of "Howling Mad" Murdock, originally played by DWIGHT SCHULTZ in the original.

Nobody replaces T! T Replaces You!




--I nominate Jim Carrey for Murdock.







On his radio show, Bob Dylan said that he's talked to two companies about doing GPS voiceovers. Yes, your GPS could someday sound like Bob Dylan. So, in other words, we get directions from someone we can't understand. Maybe he'll sing the directions for us. If we're getting people who can't speak to do GPS stuff, why not 50 Cent? That's like listening to someone with cotton balls in their mouth.


Quick notes:

Cash for Clunkers is over. Cash for Appliances is just starting. You'll get up to $200 for trading in an old appliance for a new, more efficient one. There already WERE rebates for this; the difference is, your tax money will pay for these.


Missouri wanted to ban styrofoam coolers from the rivers, because people tend to dump them after use. Problem: Styrofoam's a trade name, so they needed to list it by its chemical name... and they used the wrong one. So, now, the law bans Tupperware, which hasn't been a problem. Not that they'll enforce it.

SHOW POSTS 8/25/09: The Latest Fashion Trend and more

Ok, So I am not usually a big fan of the jeans and pants that have writing on the rear end. This new product is taking it to a new frightening level though. The video for the story on today's show is below. They are called Winker Jeans and were the brain child of a Grandpa in Everett, WA. What do you think about the product. Do you think it will catch on? (This blog or the people involved cannot be held responsible for any temporary blindness or insanity that may be caused by the following video.)




Evil Alpacas:

Alpacas are known as peaceful animals. But, that might be a misconception.
London's Sun newspaper says a farmer in England had to be airlifted to a hospital after suffering a vicious alpaca attack over the weekend.
52-year-old ROB RAWLINS is a skilled alpaca farmer who has even won awards. But, all his experience didn't save him when one animal decided to sink it's teeth into Rob's arm. It happened while the farmer was trying to shear the animal. The alpaca's jaws were so strong that it took three men to pry them loose.
Alpaca expert ALLEN BROWN says, "I've never, ever heard of anyone being bitten by a llama or an alpaca."

With a bite that strong, who needs the jaws of life for rescuing people? Let's go green by using alpacas.



Vicious??? Me????
