Perhaps the funniest part of the story?  In Hollywood, even the police get celebrity spokespeople:

“Jason Lee, a police spokesman, said no one was injured in either incident.”

Nice to know he’s already got a side gig lined up for when Earl goes off the air.

But we’ve never seen the local news do a story like this.

All the female broadcasters were out for the day, so the horny old news director gets to play?

Not that I’m complaining–a puff piece on a bikini news service is a lot better than most of what they could have come up with.  But wow…I’m surprised some feminazi organization hasn’t been all over them for that.

Oh, and you can find her site at http://www.bikinilawn.com/.  Looks like her rates have gone up since the piece ran.

Illinois resident Bill Bramanti would likely define our local college bar as heaven. Because when it comes to beer, Bill Bramanti is a PBR guy–to the core.

So much so, in fact, that he recently ordered a casket made to look like a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can from his local funeral home. Seriously.

And, because you don’t want to keep something like that in storage warehouse, he threw a party for his friends this weekend–and kept the PBR cool by filling the casket with ice.

So we responded to one a couple weeks back, mainly because they called us a valued blogger, and asked for our address to send us something.  So I thought, “Finally, someone recognizes my value as a blogger,” and send along my address.  And promptly forgot about it, like I usually do.

Well, yesterday, a box showed up on the doorstep.  And I was curiously excited, because 1) like I said, I didn’t remember asking for anything recently, and 2) the box was good sized.

 So, I tore it open, and found…a bunch of bubble wrap. 

So I thought “Cool, it’s breakable.”  And I started pulling it out, and pulling it out, and finally, I found…

That’s right, a little jar of Redken For Men hair…stuff.  Texture putty, they call it.

Granted, there was a press kit in the box too.  But still, that big box got me all excited, and all I got was hair stuff.

Oh well, at least I thought it was funny.  And I got a blog post out of it.  I’ll post an actual review of the hair stuff when I get a chance to use it–I typically don’t bother getting “all done up” when I don’t expect to do anything but sit around in my office in my boxers all day.

Proposed by State Representative Charles Siler, the bill is aimed to recognize that KFC has brought worldwide attention and economic benefit to the state since first served by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1940. Today the chain has 11,000 restaurants in 80 countries.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals opposes the legislation, to no surprise (they also have tried to have a bust of Col. Sanders removed from the state capital). 

“If the state legislature moves forward with this one, then they should change Kentucky’s state bird from the cardinal to the debeaked, crippled, scalded, diseased, dead chicken,” said Bruce Friedrich, PETA vice president.

Personally, I’m not sure what the big hang up is–it’s not like treating the chickens more humanely (think about that word for a second…) is going to make the chicken taste any better (or worse, depending on your opinion). 

Maybe PETA would be happier if they were named the “Official Radical Animal Loving and Terrorist Group Supporting Organization with Questionable Marketing Techniques” of the state?  (by the way, that second link isn’t appropriate for work, or for kids under 18, because PETA is all about treating animals nicer, even if a few women have to degrade themselves along the way.  And if you’re going to watch it, you can turn the sound off, and ignore her comment about “being back with more”–she isn’t).
