Hot Chicks on Kids' Shows

My daughter loves the Imagination Movers on the Disney Channel, and that's fine with me. I'll even watch it with here so long as their neighbor Nina shows up at least once per episode. She has a nice butt and is always doing the naughty school girl act.

Relax. She's like 30. It's not creepy.

Anyway, I know I am not the only one that finds a chick on a kid's show attractive. Look at Genevieve from Choo Choo Soul!

Tell me you wouldn't ride that train!

Our New Buddy Ice-T

The man knows his way around Twitter! In fact, the Village Voice says he is responsible for the tweet of the year, so why aren't you following him? Just click here. And while you're at it, follow his wife Coco too! I promise, you're hard drive will thank you.

Move Over Celebrities! Here's the Greatest Mugshot Ever!

Kids, don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. Mmmkay?

Now, in the event you find yourself in a car and forget to signal when you turn, there is a chance the cop behind you will pull you over. If you happen to be carrying a bag of cocaine in your center console you could get arrested. You may be tempted (as this young man was) to shove the bag in your mouth and swallow the entirety of its contents.

I'm not saying it isn't a good idea. I just want you to know that if that's the route you choose to take, there is a very good chance your mugshot will look something like this.


And I will declare it the greatest mugshot in the history of crime!

Are You Thankful for NFL Parity?

When you sit down on Thanksgiving Day to watch what from the outset seem like three meaningless potential blowouts, keep this graphic in mind


What you are looking at is a chart that perfectly illustrates why there are no dominate teams in the NFL this year. Each team is represented. Underneath the team's logo is the score by which they beat the team next to them going clockwise.

So here is the question. Does all of this parity make for an exciting football season or a year filled with a bunch of mediocre games where nothing special is going to happen?

The 100 Worst Players in NFL History

The NFL tried to do a nice thing and release their list of the top 100 players in league history.

Jerry Rice was at the top of that list.

So along comes Sports Illustrated's Jeff Pearlman with his own list. It is a little less uplifting. Click here to check out the 100 worst players in NFL history.

It may make you laugh, but remember, these millionaires have feelings. And those feelings may be dressed in the finest silks and furs, but they still get hurt.

This Couple Has to be From the Triangle, Right?

Our buddies at Deadspin.com posted a very funny and provocative video today that was taken at the new Cowboys Stadium during Dallas' Monday night loss to the New York Giants a few weeks back.

First of all, Cowboys fans everywhere should thank this young woman. Tony Romo, Miles Austin, and the rest of the team have given them very little to cheer about. But that's not the point! Did you notice something interesting that the girl had on?

Aside from the snow leopard print bra, of course.

She is wearing a t-shirt celebrating the ECU/NC State rivalry! Look, I don't want to piss off fans of those schools, but no one outside of the state of North Carolina cares about that game. You could even argue that no one west of Durham really cares about that game. Logic tells you then, that the couple must be from this area!

Do you know who these people are? If so, let us know. We want to get in touch with them!

They Smoke Weed in San Francisco

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure there are people that smoke marijuana in Dallas. I am not sure why this is such a big deal to Newy Scruggs and the folks at NBC DFW.

Ghost Hunting in the Triangle

Curt House from Triangle Paranormal Investigations was in studio this morning to talk about ghost hunting and share some of the great stories from his jobs. If you think your house maybe haunted or a family member is possessed, check them out online and give them a call!

Bear Scratch

Balloon Boy's dad is back and he's crazier and wants to sell you stuff.



Yup, it's just a pole that he wants you to pay $20 for. See what happens when your kid sells you out to Wolf Blitzer on live TV and America punishes one of it's greatest showmen? I assume that Richard Heene's creativity died that day and all he can come up with now when he's asked for a great idea is a wooden pole and a couple of screws.

What Should LeBron Do?

Have you seen LeBron's new Nike commercial? It's definitely turning some heads.

<a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/video?vid=9c650643-b80c-4bec-997a-e8e320793ad9&amp;from=IV2_en-us_foxsports_articles" target="_new" title="LeBron&#39;s latest commercial">Video: LeBron's latest commercial</a>

Kudos to Nike on creating another ad that makes people talk. I actually think it makes LeBron look like less of a douche bag - those things are few and far between these days.

Salt & Demetri's Fair Guide

Loves the magic of the Fair. I didn't know such a thing existed, but he says you can't miss Michelle's Magical Poodles. She seems lovely enough...as lovely as someone who spends her time traveling to state fairs all across the country in a van full of poodles can be.

Salt also says that you gotta see Steve Trash, the Eco Magician. Steve Trash looks just like my Uncle Bob. Also, I am not sure what an "eco magician" is exactly. I am going to assume it is all about recycling, which I can tell you with absolute certainty is not magic!

I am sure Steve and Michelle are lovely people. Let's face it though, a carny magician in still just a carny. And carnies are weird, creepy people that often have several warrants.


And I am going to assume several Warrant albums. Don't you want to be these guys' cherry pie?

The Worst/Best Interview of Scott Weiland's Career.

You know STP frontman Scott Weiland.


He has developed quite the reputation over the years, and he is working to change it. He promises that he isn't drinking or doing drugs these days and that he is 100% committed to being a member of Stone Temple Pilots.

Either he broke that first promise in an interview with The Cowhead Show on 102.5 the Bone in Tampa or he has trouble hearing and forming sentences.

Scott Weiland didn't remember that he missed the band's last show in Tampa. He took long pauses in the middle of sentences. It all lead to Cowhead betting Weiland $10,000 that he wouldn't show up for the band's next show in Tampa. The interview is both hysterical and cringe worthy all at once. Check out the whole interview here.
