OH NO I SAID TOO MUCH!


Before we had internet if you wanted to surf you had to do it on cable. So let’s just say I clocked in some pretty crappy shows. To make matters worse I used to have to go channel surfing with a WIRELESS remote like this. Poor baby I know. It was one big carpal tunnel torture.
 Where was I? Oh right, crappy TV. Sadly you couldn’t surf forever. So if there was absolutely nothing on (especially if you were sick and home from school) you could always depend on “The Making of” specials. Those were the “behind the scenes” shorts that you now find on DVDs or Blu Rays. Only then stations like HBO and Mtv used to play ‘em to fill airtime. They usually lasted like 18.5 minutes or something. Here are the top 3 “Making of” specials that I actually watched more than once...and liked!

The making of Lethal Weapon 2: Pee Wee Herman had a cameo since they were filming on the WB lot….oh and a light hearted Mel Gibson?


The making of the “Happy to Be Stuck with you” video by Huey Lewis and the News: No comment.


The making Johnny Mnemonic (1995): I’m probably most pathetic for watching this poor man's version of the Matrix because dial up internet was around by this time. I could've been on Persian Kitty.

WHO WANTS TO SEE AN HONEST-TO-GOD BLOGGER DO SOMETHING STUPID WITHOUT HIS SHIRT ON?


Consider this my annoying pledge drive. Nope, no money needed, unless you want to part with a Benjamin or 14. What I’m looking for are bloggers to join up with my community bloggerdise.com 
[GROAN]
"Oh c’mon! Hear me out!" 
Bloggerdise.com links up bloggers with businesses that are interested in doing giveaways, offers and reviews. We currently have over 370 artists, food brands, webshops, musicians and more. And the service is totally FREE.
We were even reviewed in the NY POST. 

OK, HERE’S THE BET
Right now bloggerdise.com has 485 bloggers. 
If we get to 550…no 580 bloggers by Friday April 22 – I will video tape me doing something stupid.

WHAT TYPE OF STUPIDITY YOU ASK?
Hmmm…good question.

Most definitely it will revolve around me being shirtless (sorry guy bloggers). Ok, sorry girl bloggers too. Let’s just say as we get close to the due date I will offer up decent options you can vote on. I’ll also accept suggestions as well. That's pretty much it.

Thanks for humoring a 40 yr. old creepy blogger.

4 THINGS I’M 72.8% SURE YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT A PAIR OF LUCITE BALLS.


1- Technically the pair was made of acrylic plastic.

2- I personally called ‘em death balls, though the world knew them as Ker-bangers or Click clacks. 

3- This toy of the '80s actually had a patent granted for it in 1949.

4- These were the oh so easy Ker-bangers instructions.

APPARENTLY THERE’S A COMPETITIVE HIDE AND SEEK LEAGUE THAT NO ONE BOTHERED TO TELL ME ABOUT.


At least I think it’s a sport. Part of me thinks this is some type of hook-up porn thing that I’m out of the loop on. All I know about the HSL is the following…

The first game was played in DeKalb, IL on September 9th, 2009.

The games occur in these arenas …
  • WalMart
  • Holmes Student Center
  • NIU Library
  • Target
  • Waubonsee College
  • Kishwaukee College


Facebook has it categorized under "professional sports" so you know it’s gotta be the real deal.

Right now the HSL is setting up teams. The entry fee is 25 bucks. And this year’s season opener will be at a Target in the Dekalb area.

I HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHA...YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST CLICK ON THE LINK YOURSELF.



Seriously, the site isn’t dirty by any stretch of the imagination. I just have no clue what the site does. Is it supposed to turn women on? Sell me something? Make us laugh? Cry? Educate us about cars? You be the judge. And yes, I’ll go on record saying you can watch it with the entire family – except the bull one…I think.

GREENLAND SCIENTISTS CREATE FIRST SELF-REPLICATING WIENER


Dr. Kraus Volstalb and lifelong partner Dr. Helmut Gratunbarg reported the incredible news to Genome Science Quarterly earlier this week.
“We are elated that our years of experiments and research have finally paid off,” proclaimed Volstalb.
Helmut went on to discuss the ramifications of the self-replicating discovery.
“Hotdogs are just the beginning, we are now in the stages of trying to replicate simple organic entities like grains and vegetables. Our goal is to help cut food bill costs, plus feed third world nations.”

WHAT IS THE MULTI-WIENER?
It’s the next level of cloning. Essentially the hot dog is combined with an amoeba on a cellular level. Introducing this parasitic-protozoan into the hot dog’s genetic makeup literally gives it the ability to split and self-replicate.

HOW IT WORKS
You simply leave your multi-wiener on the plate. The oxygen will then causes the wiener to reproduce a perfect genetic copy of itself. Within 2 hours you will have 6 to 7 wieners ready to cook. So far the only drawbacks is the pinkish hue the dogs exhibit. Other than that they taste like the real thing and are perfectly safe to ingest.


WHY YOU WON’T SEE THIS HOT DOG AT A BBQ THIS SUMMER
Religious activists are already lobbying against this type of research to be started in the U.S. They feel it’s only a matter time before testing is done on embryonic subjects. No word If any legislation has come out of capitol hill, but political activists say this would fall in the area of  stem cell research. One of the most highly controversial areas of study that had been previously banned in the US.

ONE MORE THING…
Shortly after my posting I was lucky enough to find an interview with the assistant on the actual research team. He offers up some pretty startling new revelations. Click here to enjoy.
