And now, your disturbing commercial of the day...
I was wondering what happened to Kenner Toys the other day. Obviously this happened.
On the Show: Wednesday and Thursday 9/23-24
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.
Tailgatermonthly.com Rates the Top Tailgating Schools
Ole Miss is the #1 school for tailgating according to tailgatermonthly.com. other mentions Tennessee, Penn State, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama are in the top 10. Tennessee beat Alabama in this list...Oh the horror! There were more SEC schools in the list than any other conference. Rumor is that Notre Dame and Ohio State didn't make it because ESPN had nothing to do with the list.
Animal Cruelty Report:
Pennsylvania
Cat duct taped from the neck down.
Legs taped together, couldn't move
Left on a random front lawn.
tape removed from cat, not up for adoption yet(probably on account of world's worst
grooming job)
Nicknamed Sticky
$2000 dollar reward for info leading to conviction.
Men, you are allowed approximately 2.76 seconds to laugh at the picture below without female intervention and then must forever express disgust at this act.
Then again, maybe this was an early entry to the Steve and Julie pet dress up contest.
GOOD NEWS: Stone Temple Pilots start their North American tour at Bayfest here in Alabama
BAD NEWS: They're talking about a Ghost Rider movie sequel.
Big Baby:
According to a french newspaper, a 19 pound baby boy was born to an Indonesian woman on Wednesday. 19 POUNDS! It's not just to much tv making kids big these days. They're being born fully grown. There is a picture of the baby below.
What?! Why are you booing at the computer? I Kid! I Kid! He's Adorable!
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.
Question: what was your favorite childhood game or sport? Post a comment about it.

Show Post 9-9-09: Beatlemania '09, Crash Test Leno, Latest Deep Fried Death
IT"S BAAAACK...
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!
Then 
Now
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.

Show Post for 8-31-09
JAY LENO begins his new show Sept. 14 here is the lineup so far
--Mon, Sep 14: Jerry Seinfeld, JAY Z featuring RIHANNA and KANYE WEST.
--Tue, Sep 15: Tom Cruise and Jay makes 10 pm "House Calls."
--Wed, Sep 16: Robin Williams guests; Miley Cyrus does '10 at 10' and Australian comedians Hamish and Andy introduce the phenomenon "Ghosting" to America.
--Thu, Sep 17: Halle Berry guests and BRUCE HORNSBY and ERIC CLAPTON stop by for a special performance. Also, a segment of "Dealing with the Public."
Question: Is Jay Leno the Brett Favre of Late Night TV? First he’s retiring then he is not….hmmm. Discuss
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.
Stuart Claxton, From the Guinness Book of World Records made it official at the International Mariachi Festival.
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.
Jeff Probst, this is all your fault.
