  • Are you a betting (wo)man? Even if you are, I bet you’re nothing compared to this guy.
  • 14-year old arrested for “Redneck Club” Initiation. This reminds me of a classmate in HS who received life without parole for killing two people and their unborn baby. He bragged about it…and there were implications it had to do with some Chicago gang initiation ritual. In the end, though, I think they “concluded” he was mentally ill.
  • You might be a Big Beautiful Woman (or man), but are you fat enough to manage this? Then again, why would you WANT to?
  • First South Park, then the newspaper:Toronto Metro “Tube Talk” writer (forgot his name) has redeemed himself, though I still find his biting sarcasm needlessly excessive: “DEAD HORSE, MEET STICK, PART TWELVE: Queer Eye For The Straight Guy will be get . . . wait for it . . . Queer Eye For The Straight Girl, according to an E! Online report. That’s right, some sorry passel of female schlubs out there are due to be scornfully made over by a group of voracious but sexually unspecified bitches. That’s right — as of this writing, the producers at Bravo are still unsure about whether the makeover gurus will be male homosexualists or female sapphists. Which bets the question — does anyone creave style advice from a beflanneled, crop-haired disel dyke? Not that I’m accusing the show of trading in sexual stereotypes.”

Geez,

Regarding the gambler: Wow. I know there are some real compulsive gamblers and such but, to sell everything including clothing and betting it all, well, that’s just too far. I am not surprised that Sky is milking this with a reality TV series. That disgusts me the most, as it may possibly encourage such behavior by bringing it to the publics attention. I didn’t know about this until you brought it up even though it was on CNN.com

Hiding stuff within your fat is definitely a new one. But I guess considering all the possibilities in the world, that was bound to happen at some point.
