Busted! I did not go to Ireland.

Hector from Beacon has blown my cover. I was not in Europe on vacation last week, I was actually at Comic-Con. Here's the evidence:

Nice try, Hector... but my legs are much more hairy.

Good Bye, Glitter Girl

Alexis Cohen, the freaky American Idol contestant that flipped off Simon Cowell, died in a NJ hit-and-run this weekend. 23-year-old Daniel Bark has been arrested and charged with reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Don't remember Glitter Girl? Here she is:

Holy Crap

Some woman that sounds like the stripper from My Name Is Earl has found the Virgin Mary in a splatter of bird poop. Yep. Bird Poop.

So, lemme get this straight. It's blasphemous to create a photo of the Virgin Mary out of elephant poop, but bird poop Virgin Mary is a miracle? Let's see if Guiliani tries to impound this woman's truck.

(Too old of a reference? Look it up.)

Wanna smell like Amy Winehouse?

I heard this on the radio in Ireland. Amy Winehouse is in negotiations to release a perfume line. According to a spokesperson they "want it to reflect her style with a classic smoky 1950s look and smell."

I say save $90 and just roll around on the floor of your local bus station bathroom.

New European trend: Smart Car Dunking

You may have seen these tiny little Smart Cars around the Hudson Valley. Well, they're very popular in Europe where the streets are tiny and parking spaces are at a minimum. Bored kids have started a new trend: Smart Car dunking. That's right... they pick up these tiny little cars and throw them into canals, rivers and streams.

Spotted in a European train station...

Carmen Sandiego! Now we know where in the world she is.

I'm Back!

Thanks for coming back to the website after a week of no updates! I had the time of my life in Ireland... it was so much more than I ever expected. If you think Ireland is like your local Irish Bar on St. Patrick's Day, it's just so much more than that. The friendliest people, great food (really!) and some of the most amazing scenery in the world. There's no way any photos can capture just how beautiful this country is. Anyway, I'll fill you in on everything this morning on the air.

The true highlight of my week, however, was getting to see U2 in Dublin. Whenever I go to a show, I always have a list of songs I want to hear. For U2, this time it was Bad and 40. Bono must have read my mind, because towards the end of the show he worked the lyrics from 40 into Bad. There's a video below... hope you have tickets for the shows at Giants Stadium, it's a sick concert!
