"ya know how they have great names for their ice cream? wonder what they would call theirs?" - Kimmyk asking what Ben & Jerry's would call breast milk ice cream Boobapalooza. Mamma Jamma. Dreamy Creamy. Share My Diseasescream. Leave a comment. I'm open to suggestions, and I'm sure the Ben & Jerry's people are too. Meanwhile... I'm getting scads of page hits over the Cornfield Palin post yesterday . Go figure. Tens of people have Google searched "Cornfield Palin" and wandered over here. I wish I could have thought of a joke to accompany the photo and story. Maybe Sarah is the joke? I tried to think of what an artist's medium would be for a Cindy McCain portrait. Ice sculpture? Driftwood? Maybe a Ben & Jerry's ice cream box ... Ice Queen Cream. Leave a comment. The first debate was tonight. I watched most of it with my friend from Ohio. Mostly, it was one guy telling the other guy that he is wrong about what he said and one gu...

Those screwy Ohioans are at it again. WHITEHOUSE, Ohio (AP) - You need to be airborne to fully appreciate a corny caricature of Sarah Palin near Toledo, Ohio. A 16-acre cornfield has been carved up in the likeness of the Republican vice presidential candidate to form a tourist attraction's fall corn maze. The Butterfly House in Whitehouse is owned by Duke Wheeler, who says Palin created a lot of excitement in the campaign and he was hoping to generate some for this year's maze. He says it took an artist from Idaho at least 8 hours to mow down corn stalks in a Palin pattern, complete with her familiar updo hairstyle and eyeglasses . I wonder if Cindy McCain feels slighted? After all, she's supposed to be the hot young babe trophy wife of the old-fart war hero, right? Or am I overstating it? That's the picture from here at 7pm on Thursday. An endless line of rain stretching from now until sometime Sunday. Probably right around sundown, so's to screw entirely with...

I was very tired when I got home from work tonight. So much so that I decided to plop down on the sofa (a rare event) and flip on the TV and let it entertain me. Easy, I thought. The obvious choice was the Phillies game. The Phils are in the midst of a pennant race that they seem bound and determined to milk to the very last day. With big rain storms coming, the weekend should be full of three hour rain delays and not a lot of baseball. During the telecast of the game, the cameras took us to The High and Inside Pub, a bar located inside Citizen's Bank Ballpark. I've been to the ballpark a hundred times and have walked past this place often. Every time I walk past I think the same thing : Why would someone pay for a ticket to the game and spend time sitting inside a bar watching the game on television? Then, over on ABC it was the David Blaine show where, for the three seconds I had it on, he was shown hanging upside down from a rope. The host muttered something about what ama...

When you're thinking about stupid stuff you could get arrested for, think about this: NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police arrested more than a dozen people for stealing pieces of Yankee Stadium during the 85-year-old ballpark's final game. Police said Tuesday that 18 fans were charged with possessing stolen property. Officers were out in force for the stadium's final game on Sunday to keep souvenir hunters from tearing away pieces of the place. Yankee spokesman Howard Rubenstein told the New York Post that they intend to hire a private security team to protect the stadium from other would-be thieves . They're tearing the place down in three months. What could people possibly steal that wouldn't otherwise be left for rubble? My guess is that they stole something that the Yankees figure they could put up on Ebay for money. Meanwhile, somebody put the cuffs on Mariano Rivera, seen here filling a plastic container with dirt from the pitcher's mound. It's one...

Some (most) of you don't appreciate the significance of Monday night. That's why I'm here. My entertainment habits are broken down into two categories - fact and fiction that is so unbelievable that it's capable of being true. That's why I was so drawn into Heroes . I missed out on the first season, and didn't get into it until midway through the second season. A friend at work loaned me the DVDs of first season of the show, and I watched all 16 hours in less than two weeks. That's how drawn-in I was over the story of ordinary people with extraordinary abilities. A few weeks ago I bought the second season. I finished watching it tonight, just in time for Monday's 3-hour third season premiere. For those of you who don't know anything about the show or would like to - Monday's premiere will be an hour of catch-up followed by a two hour episode. I'm guessing that the catch-up hour will be enough for the uninitiated to become fans. The wri...
