“House of Cards” is featured in an NBA playoff commercial. The NBA is clearly trying to get my demographic interested in the NBA again. I must admit that this commercial spoke to me. It is the one where two NBA star’s faces are morphed together and talking about how winning is everything. It sure is nice to have a team in Atlanta winning games in the playoffs again.
GO HAWKS!!!!

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — A U.S. surfer was killed in a shark attack off Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, officials said Tuesday.
The San Francisco, California, man bled to death Monday after a gray shark bit his right thigh, leaving a 15-inch (38-centimeter) wound, the Guerrero state Public Safety Department said in a statement.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico could not immediately confirm the man’s name, but local authorities identified him as a 24-year-old who was surfing with a fellow American. The other man was not injured.
The attack occurred at the Troncones beach, about 45 minutes west by car from the beach resort of Ixtapa.
The statement said the victim suffered wounds “that reached from the hip to the knee, exposing the femur.”
The victim was still alive when he was brought back to the beach. It took so long for the ambulance to reach the relatively isolated, undeveloped beach that a bystander took the victim to a local hospital in his car.
The man died from loss of blood a few minutes after reaching the hospital, according to the statement.
Shark attacks are relatively rare in Mexico. In 2006, the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History reported only one attack in Mexico, which was not fatal.
Are Shark attacks really “relatively rare in Mexico”?, Or are “Shark attacks in Mexico rarely reported in the U.S.”?
Who Cares?…All I know is that this rich prick from the good ‘ol U S and A got exactly what he deserved. I mean come on, what American has enough cash to be surfing on the remote beaches of Mexico right now…with the dollar being so weak and all?
According to Vivid Entertainment, the film, which has no audio, allegedly shows Hendrix having sex with two women in a dimly-lit bedroom, the Times reports.
Vivid, which has also released sex tapes featuring Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee and Kim Kardashian, among others, says that the tape is authentic, and will be offered for sale in stores and for download Online, according to the Times report.
“I believe that we did our due diligence, and as a result of that clearly believe that it’s him,” said Steven Hirsch, Vivid’s co-chairman told the Times. “If they said that it wasn’t him, I would never have put it out.”
Some who knew Hendrix, who died of a drug overdose in 1970 at the age of 27, disagree. Kathy Etchingham, one of his girlfriends from the 1960s, says the man in the film couldn’t be Hendrix.
“He would never have allowed anyone to see that,” she told the Times. “In private he was very shy and would cover up.”
I bet Jimi rips a nasty solo right in those girls’ faces. Read into that statement all you want.
Keep your eyes on the skies people. A reward is up for the person who finds the inflatable pig that floated away during the closing performance at the Coachella festival. What’s in it for the finder of the pig?… $10,000 and 4 tickets to Coachella for life. Probably get to meet Roger too. I wonder what it’s worth if the finder holds out for a while.
My ode to great Midget….uh hum, I mean Little People movie characters.
Just remember, they are people too.
Hanz from Freaks:
As the circus owner who makes the mistake of marrying an “average size” woman, Hanz is slowly poisoned by his wife who wants to take control of the circus. Although Hanz, the child-man midget is a bad-ass, his crew is even crazier. They take revenge on the woman at the end…Freak-style.
Master Blaster from Mad-Max Thunderdrome:
Master is the brains, Blaster is the brawns. Together they are master blaster…..and Master Blaster runs Boarder Town…
Willow from Willow:
By far the coolest dwarf actor on the planet. Warrick Davis, known best for his role as the title character in Willow, also played the role of Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi.
I don’t know about you, but I really can’t stand Garfield comics. What bugs me even more? Heathcliff, but that’s another story for another time. Every time I sit down to read the comics and my eyes come across the Garfield strip, it’s like fingernails down a chalkboard…but now there’s hope, even delight, when I read these Garfield strips!
I ran across this site and it’s laugh out loud comedic genius! Garfield and his dialog are erased and we’re left with a sad, pathetic John Arbuckle…please enjoy!
Can’t believe my publisher ran this creative non-fiction piece. Here ’tis.
Hope all is well w/ my peeps in da ATL

“In just two months,” World Bank President Robert Zoellick said this month, “rice prices have skyrocketed to near historical levels, rising by around 75 percent globally and more in some markets, with more likely to come.”
I believe every apocalyptic movie I have ever seen starts off with subtle signs. As you can see from the above quote from the World Bank President there are skyrocketing rice prices. Many speculate that the ever increasing world population will some day suck up all of Earth’s plentiful resources including food and water. This will undoubtedly lead to wars and poverty. I am not talking about wars in Africa or the middle east, but more specifically the border of Mexico and the United States.
The rice shortage has lead to mega retail store SAMs club to ban all rice sales of 20 lbs. or more. This shortage is actually effecting us here (to some degree). What is next… are they going to ban fat Americans from eating McDonalds? What if the “End of Days” solved America’s obesity problem and in turn brought our soaring health care cost in check. How ironic would that be? America is the shit! We can not be stopped
