February 4, 200916 yr The reason it was such a big deal is because the PICTURE surfaced. He wasn't nearly as famous when he got the DUI. The news media focuses on current events, not something someone did 4-5 years ago.
February 4, 200916 yr ^ This is what's going on in the United States' top real estate market http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.458262,-80.007505&spn=0.008588,0.01693&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr&layer=c&cbll=40.457662,-80.007541&panoid=KD0g-IcPQW09qFcP2RU2kg&cbp=12,310.45443546675455,,1,10.375837805207798 This looks like a completely ordinary day in Pittsburgh, is there something I should be noticing that's out of place? ;-)

Other than that - you know, just a typical vacant lot inhabited by Appalachian Samurais.
February 4, 200916 yr You've been Bosscocked!!! http://bosscocked.com/ ;D That was painful on so many levels for the boss and the viewers.
February 4, 200916 yr yeah even as an old fan even i almost fell over when he did that. that's a freakin 60 year old man fer gawdssakes....with hairplugs and facelifts....and singing a 35 year old song he's done a bazillion times!?!! on one hand i gotta hand it to him, but the whole thing was weird, not only just that move. what are they going to do for halftime next year? dig up the rolling stones and prop them up on a stage? plug mick jagger in so he can chicken dance? heh. :laugh: meanwhile, speaking of shocking.....! Haru’s Electric-Eel Cocktail Is Truly Shocking 2/4/09 at 11:40 AM Haru’s Electric-Eel Cocktail Is Truly Shocking We’ve seen mocktails, Baracktails, and now: “shocktails.” Haru’s director of operations and mixologist, Keith Dusko, is pairing a new drink, the Electric Eel, with so-called Sechuan buttons (also called Sansho buttons) that he says create an “electric sensation” when chewed — “like putting a nine-volt battery in your mouth.” (Indeed, accounts of eating the flower bud support this.) The drink itself is a margarita-like mix of premium tequila, sake, and yuzu, but it’s the buttons we’re intrigued by. We’re sure Dusko isn’t the first to use them in a drink, but so far they haven’t gotten miracle fruit–like hype. "Sunday Styles," are you reading this? The Electric Eel hits the menu on Saturday.
February 4, 200916 yr You've been Bosscocked!!! http://bosscocked.com/ ;D I wasn’t sure if this was “work safe” but I clicked on it anyway, it turns out it was not safe for my eyeballs!

That's an interesting poiint, but there's a better view of it from this position, I think: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&layer=c&cbll=40.457684,-80.007905&panoid=2qb3c0ZZvnQVS5Zf7zV5ag&cbp=12,104.22841706211522,,1,3.6992372993223354&ie=UTF8&ll=40.457764,-80.007929&spn=0,359.994904&z=18
February 5, 200916 yr That's an interesting poiint, but there's a better view of it from this position, I think: Random observations: The samurais have spotted the camera car and are checking it out. It just rained and street and sidewalks are wet, and boy on bicycle without fenders most likely has a wet stripe down the middle of his back from his shoulders to his @ss.
February 6, 200916 yr David, you were right on with this one about Michael Phelps: I bet they'll take his @ss off the Kellog's Corn Flakes box. I felt a sudden inclination to design a graphic of Tony the Tiger b!tch-slapping Phelps on the front of the cereal box but I can't be bothered.

February 6, 200916 yr That would take me forever to do! Someone else do it. You could give it to CNN for press release. If Phelps goes down, Tony the tokin' Tiger is losing his contract too.
February 6, 200916 yr shhhhh dont give me any ideas. He got suspended earlier today from by USA swimming for 3 months, although that makes no sense since he's taking a "break"?
February 6, 200916 yr David, you were right on with this one about Michael Phelps: I bet they'll take his @ss off the Kellog's Corn Flakes box. Kellogg to drop Phelps over pot smoking photo 1 hr 4 mins ago PORTLAND, Ore. Cereal and snack maker Kellogg Co. says it will not renew its sponsorhip contract with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps because he has acknowledged smoking marijuana last fall. The Battle Creek, Mich.-based company said Thursday that Phelps's behavior caught on camera and published Sunday is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg." The company put Phelps on boxes of its Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes. Phelps has kept the backing of many sponsors since the photos surfaced that showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe. Phelps's agent was not immediately available to comment. Kellogg says its contract with Phelps expires at the end of the month. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090206/ap_on_sp_ot/swm_phelps_kellogg But it's a perfect connection! Weed ---> Munchies ---> Frosted Flakes !!! They should just change the illustration to show him pouring the contents of a box of Frosted Flakes into his mouth, with a bong sitting beside him.

February 6, 200916 yr I don't really know anything about it. It's just something I read somewhere. Did you read it on a wheaties box, maybe?
February 6, 200916 yr I don't really know anything about it. It's just something I read somewhere. Did you read it on a wheaties box, maybe? "Weedies," you say? That would be a great name for a product. Lots of sugar and salt, and a mouth-satisfying crunchy-chewy texture. Chocolate-coated? Maybe. Phelps would be an ideal spokesman, and seeing as how he's lost his Kellog contract and probably will lose others, he'd be available at a discount rate. The next place I expect to see him is on a milk carton; "Has anybody seen this boy, lately?"

February 7, 200916 yr So did anyone else see Coraline tonight? If not, I'd recommend it. It's basically a cross between a James and the Giant Peach and Nightmare Before Christmas.. IN 3D!!! haha It gets a little freaky too. It's an awesome and beautiful movie.

I guess nowhere's invincible. It wasnt just the rich. Madoff got poor and middle/working class people as well. I was looking at those addresses and I recognized an address. I recognized a charity I donated too. He is a monster that has destroyed so many lives.

I notice lots of houses up for sale. Not a good thing in the Florida market.
February 8, 200916 yr So yesterday I went to Ameoba Records in Hollywood (http://www.amoeba.com/), and was just casually looking through the posters, not really looking for anything in particular, when all of a sudden I came across this: I had never heard of the band, but I thought it was incredibly cool that they used Cincinnati's Union Terminal for their band poster.
February 8, 200916 yr I worked in Hyde Park Sq. A lot of the patrons were these wealthy guys with their young girlfriends with plastic surgery, fake boobs, etc. It was funny. Or recent Miami grads. That really probably half of the reason it stays so trendy I think. Hyde Park itself isn't THAT great. That sounds more accurate. Well in the early 1900s you in fact did have to be approved by a committee to live in Hyde Park. It was really exclusive. Obviously that isn't the case today, you can't do that but it is like a miniature Beverly Hills right in Cincy. I worked in Hyde Park Sq. A lot of the patrons were these wealthy guys with their young girlfriends with plastic surgery, fake boobs, etc. It was funny. Or recent Miami grads. That really probably half of the reason it stays so trendy I think. Hyde Park itself isn't THAT great. It's mostly obvious because so many beautiful women jog around the neighborhood nonstop. A lot of my friends would come visit me at work and drink on the patio to watch the women jog by lol So true. Anywhere on the square is just ridiculous to just sit and watch. It reminds me of Nip Tuck - Cincy style. lol I know, I'm convinced that that's why the restaurant patios are so popular lol

February 9, 200916 yr Woahh I just realized that I have been a member of this forum for two years as of the 3rd of this month. I think my interests would definitely be different if I didn't find this site. And that is crazy Sherman, that's a lot.
February 9, 200916 yr Any suggestions on a Vday restaurant near Cleveland? Albatros was my plan, but it is booked.

February 9, 200916 yr I would prefer in the city, but suppose I would be willing to venture to an inner-ring. I thought about 45, but...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Is it outrageous? Give me a quote for the cheapest bottle of wine, two entrees, an app, and 2 desserts.
