Happy Halloween

That's a Spicy Meatball

"A father wants investigators to pursue fraud and larceny charges against a Panhandle strip club after his son ran up a $53,000 bill in a single night. He was celebrating his college graduation."

There's a clip from a Pensacola, FL newscast here. The correspondent says it "quite literally cost him an arm and a leg".

The Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show, the world's largest, begins tomorrow. You're unlikely to see Tiger Woods' yacht, which is named Privacy -

Last Supper

I guess chefs' equivalent of the Aristocrats joke is to tell each other what their last meal would be, if they had to choose it. There's an article in the October 29th issue of Time about it. Of course, you don't have to buy the magazine, you can just read it here.

I was amused to find that, if a chef says his last meal would be an elaborate one, then everyone says he's a liar. One of the most famous chefs of all time, Jacques Pepin, would opt for a hot dog.

Here's an interesting blog to check out - the morbid "Dead Man Eating", which shows what death row inmates choose as their actual last meals. Some of them have pretty good taste.

How awesome is this? Google Trends shows that Arabic speakers are the top group of people who search for the word "sex" on Google's search engine. We're the Great Satan, but they're some horny bastards. Now, don't be an ignoramus and confuse Arab with Muslim. Not all Arabs are Muslim (but most of them are) and not all Muslims are Arab (Indonesians are not Arab, and Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, with a population of 225 million).

On the 40th anniversary of his death, here's a pretty awesome article that gives you a quick reminder of why he should be reviled and not revered. The author makes the excellent point that he's probably famous and admired in large part because there was a cool picture taken of him.

But how do you feel about MALE models?

This is pretty awesome. It's a short Reuters video that was posted on Liquid Generation about The Ugly Modeling Agency. I've often wondered how the less glamorous among our species get cast in movies and commercials, and here's one of the ways.

One of the funniest things about this is that the British owner was worried about offending people when he opened his branch in the U.S.

The Greatest Rivalry in Sports

If you've had the pleasure of living in Boston you will likely agree that this is a sentiment shared by many Red Sox fans. I feel sorry for them. Really I do.

" As long as the Yankees don't win the World Series ever again, I ultimately don't care if we do, either."

For me, the best outcome would be Yanks-Sox in the ALCS every time. I will never get sick of that.
