You drank how many hamburgers last night?

Did you ever wonder why you eat right and excercise but still can't seem to lose weight? Well, did you go out drinking last night? This British website will calculate how many calories you consumed just by drinking. While this explains your Uncle Ed's beer belly, it may totally ruin your day.

Crazy X-Box Lady

This lady was auditioning for an old XBox 360 commercial. Apparently she thinks that guns make the same sound as a dying chicken. She didn't get the part.

The Celebration Of Lights Part 2: Look who I found at the parade


Hey it's Simon. I saw his beard coming from across the street.

Some other phtos from the Celebration Of Lights:

It's 31 degrees right now in front of Noah's and the parade has just begun. I'm going to stop typing and put my gloves back on!

O.J. Gets 15 Years...

This just came over the wire... OJ has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison. He could get out in 9 years, but he will be spending all of that time in jail. He was convicted for armed robbery, kidnapping and assault. But as Seth Myers on SLN said, "really for murder".

The latest from CNN

Update: OJ is sorry... that's good enough for me, we can just let him go now, right?

Bacon Mints, Get Some!

Laura from Pine Bush sent me this photo... Great for cleaning out the disgusting taste of mint from your mouth!

Happy 75th anniversary of the end of prohibition!

Today marks 75 years since the end of that horrible social experiment called Prohibition. What better way to celebrate than picking up a 6 pack on the way home or stopping by your favorite watering hole for a tasty beer with friends!

While we've come very far, we still have a way to go... some states still have crazy laws on the books that limit people's rights on what they can drink and where they drink it. And some organizations that promote themselves as being against drunk driving are actually fronts for campaigns that would like to ban alcohol all together. There is some news in the other direction, however... this year congress has discussed the possibility of putting together a bill that would actually lower the drinking age from 21 back down to 18. We'll have to see what happens, but for now let's raise a glass to the freedom to be able to raise a glass!

Check out repealday.org for a little more history on prohibition and suggestions on how to celebrate today.
