Gunea Pig For Dinner?

This morning Brandi read a story about how people in Peru eat Guinea Pig. One of our listeners, Brian, sent instant feedback about how he at a Guinea Pig in Peru. It was prepared with a pepper in it's mouth and a fancy tomato hat. Well, Brian was kind enough to email me a photo. Check it out! Honestly, it doesn't look all that bad.

The Killers and Jimmy Kimmel

You probably missed this because, sadly, no one really watches Jimmy Kimmel... even though Jimmy has more funny in the tiny mole on his back than Jay Leno does in his enormous chin. Yet, Jay Leno gets his own prime time nightly talk show and all Jimmy gets is to host the American Music Awards, which is one step up from the Soul Train awards. So few people watch the AMA's that the musicians don't even show up to get their awards!

This is Jimmy and The Killers:

WRRV Beard Growing Competition - Week 4

This contest is killing me. Seriously. I don't think I can last much longer. My facial hair is coarse and nappy. My moustache is now long enough to cover my mouth and meet the hairs under my lower lip. And the only women who flirt with me now are middle aged women who probably think Magnum P.I. is the definition of sexy. Plus, I go to the dentist for a cleaning this week, and I'm grossed out to think about what that experience will be like with a big bushy beard and moustache. Simon, you are a stronger man than I.

(Jeremiah was unavailable for this week's photo... but he is still suffering like the rest of us.)

Fallout from the Bush shoe attack

The internets were a buzz yesterday about the George Bush shoe-throwing incident. For the record, I was the first one to come up with the "Lame... DUCK!" headline, and was also the first to invoke Austin Powers ("Seriously, who throws a shoe!"). Check the timestamp on my original post... so there.

Anyway, there's already a video game based on the incident, and the animated gif's are starting to pop up everywhere. Here are two of my favorites:

The Three (4) Stooges:
And Austin Powers:

Little Gordon Ramsey

There are two types of people: People who think Gordon Ramsey is awesome and tells it like it is, and people who think he's an arrogant p***k who just goes off on people because of some sort of deep-seeded self esteem issues. I'm in the first group... I think the guy's a freakin' genius. If I could get paid to just yell at people all day I would be the happiest man alive. Sure, I get to yell at people... but it's only a small part of my job. If you watch Kitchen Nightmares or Hell's Kitchen, you know that yelling is pretty much all Gordon Ramsey does. Once a season he'll show people how to fillet a fish or cook risotto, but he's usually yelling while he's doing it.

Here's a commercial with some kid who does, as Gordon would say, a "spot-on" impersonation of him:


More: Apparently there are a series of these videos dining out and school lunch are pretty awesome.

Governor Patterson on SNL

Did you miss Saturday Night Live this weekend? The highlight was "Governor Patterson" interrupting Amy Pohler's farewell speech...



Apparently, Patterson wasn't amused. The "New York Post" cites a spokesman for Paterson as saying the governor was disappointed NBC's sketch comedy show resorted to offensive stock blind jokes. Paterson's representative said the skit ridiculed people with physical disabilities and implied blind people are incompetent in serious jobs. Advocacy groups for the disabled have also come out against "Saturday Night Live" for the Paterson skit and many other instances where they say blind people are mocked for their disability. Paterson's spokesman, who described his boss as a the kind of guy who can take a joke, said the governor, quote, "is sure that 'Saturday Night Live,' with all its talent, can find a way to be funny without being offensive."
