I’ve been up since 2:30am because some Anus Plug was shooting off a gun near my house.  After calling 911 I was too paranoid to go back to sleep so I decided to break into some Wachusett Milk Stout.  Parents all over the world give their kids warm milk to help them sleep so why wouldn’t this work.  Oh, I don’t know…maybe because it’s BEER?  It just made me want to stay up and drink more beer while hiding behind my couch in case there were more shots fired.  Again…I am not a Doctor.  I’m glad my wife could sleep through the all the shooting.  Of course, she wears ear plugs because my snoring is as loud as a jet engine with a Canadian Goose stuck in it.  And my daughter could sleep through an ACDC concert.  So I’m a little rough today.  But this video gave me a whole new perspective on my day.

A Perfect Circle are getting ready to embark on a short tour of the West Coast and Southwest.  Front man Maynard Keenan(Tool, Puscifer) had said he was done with this project but he probably wants to expand hisvinyard in Arizona.  Hey, if it allows him to produce more wine(which is great by the way) then going to the bank of APC is cool with me.  Check them out below on a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live.

My boss says I should use my blog to “pull back the curtain” and give listeners a glimpse of  the behind the scenes workings at WAAF.  So, here I am painstakingly creating a quality Mid-Day Show through interpretive dance.

Thanks to Jack Gill for capturing this golden radio moment be standing in the corner of the studio like a creep with his camera phone.

I think the fat guy who’s going to have pizza at Grandma’s is more like me.  But what do I know. 

We’ve all done things we will forever be ashamed of.  Regrets are part of life, without them we would have nothing to warn our kids about.  Bad decisions can provide wisdom that can be applied to future endeavours.  The Roman poet Ovid said, “Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.” 

But can one endure the culinary catastrophe below that these two intrepid gastronomical daredevils create.  What they call, “The Worst Pizza Ever”.  Over 5000 calories of KFC, McDonalds, A&W, Taco Bell, Wendy’s and whatever else they can throw on a pizza.  It’s an Odyssey that even Homer could not of envisioned.  In the video below we witness the journey and the prestige, but not the horrific aftermath. 

This is from The Vector Arena in Auckland, NZ, 10/14/2010. A rare treat and great tribute to the late great Cliff Burton. Take 8 minutes out of your miserable Monday and enjoy.

Some of you may have wanted to launch your iPhone into space for various reasons.  But the guys at The Brooklyn Space Program did it for purely nerdy scientific reasons and not because it lost all their contacts and apps.  The father/son team of Luke and Max Geissbuhler attached one to a weather balloon along with an HD camera rigged up with some hand warmers and launched their Nerderiffic creation from Newburgh, NY.  It travelled above the earth’s atmosphere before bursting and falling 30 miles from the launch site.  They tracked it down with the iPhone’s GPS.

There has been much speculation as to whether or not the vessel actually made it into space, or if the whole project was a well edited hoax.  I like to think they really did it(because I’m a nerd and love this stuff) The video from the little “Enterprise” is below. Check out the photo slide show here.

October is my favorite month of the year… It starts with my Birthday on the 1st, and ends with my favorite ‘holiday’ HALLOWEEN!

You’ve known me long enough to know that I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Everything about it is great! Candy, scary music, costumes, skulls and spiders everywhere and there is no pressure of gift giving!

It’s the only time of year that I look “normal”!

And of course, every November 1, I get asked “What did you go as for Halloween? Why is your hair purple? Have you tried to get it out?” It’s like I’m in costume every day!

In years past, I’ve had some great costumes… Most of them custom made by Angela Zampell at Mode Merr. She is awesome! 

But this year, there is an added pressure!!!

I just got invited to Kid Rock’s Halloween Party in Detroit! It’s a weekend long bash that, I hear, is going to be INSANE!!!

So, what do I do now??? What the hell am I supposed to be? What should I wear?

I have 2 weeks before I take off for Michigan, and I am desperate.!

So, I thought that I would turn to you!!!

I’ve been Marilyn Monroe (both dead and alive), a skydiver, a librarian (nobody even knew it was me! HA!), a samurai warrior, Medusa, and I’ve even had people dress as ME!

I was thinking of taking my red wedding dress, and turiing it into a ‘Vampire Bride’ costume…

Plus, it’s a great excuse to wear it again!

What do you think??? I need some ideas and I need them FAST! This party is going to be NUTS, and I can only imagine what people are going to be dressing like…

By the way, I am taking a camera and video gear with me… I’ll have a full recap of this bash when I get back… IF I get back!

HELP!!!

Recently a woman from New York named Sally Davies bought a Happy Meal at her local McDonalds and let it sit on her coffee table for six months uncovered.  She took pictures of it every day to track it’s deterioration.  But there was a slight problem, there was no deterioration.  No mold, no breakdown whatsoever.  See her pictures and a the incredible video at Gizmodo.  McDonalds official response can be read here.  They basically say that under certain conditions McDonalds food will get moldy and break down.  There may have been an absence of moisture which dehydrated the Happy Meal.

I’m sure Ms. Davies motives were to alert Americans to alleged suspicious practices by McDonalds, and I believe she accomplished that.  But not for the reasons she was seeking.  I also believe McDonalds is hiding the true reason why this Happy Meal failed to follow the rules of nature.  McDonalds’ Happy Meals are from the FUTURE. 

Anyone familiar with Star Trek is also familiar with The Nexus.  An extra- dimensional realm in which one’s desires shape reality.  It can be entered through a temporal energy ribbon that crosses the Galaxy every 39 years.  I believe The Happy Meal is food from the future that had somehow fallen into the Nexus and was deposited in a dimension centuries before it’s creation, and was sold to the McDonalds Corporation for billions of dollars and coupons for free apple pies.  The name was taken from the first hand accounts of time spent in the Nexus.  When inside, one supposedly experiences great feelings of joy and is able to recreate the situations that inspired those feelings.  A similar feeling is experienced(albeit only a temporary one) not only by children who consume a Happy Meal but also by some adults who feel the experience of getting one brings back a certain “Joy” from their own childhood.  In reality, what McDonalds is serving is a temporary escape provided by food from the future that contains energy remnants from the Nexus.  That is why Ms. Davies Happy Meal would not degrade…it is from the future.

Yes, yes, Star Trek is just a television show and I’m a pathetic nerd trying to rationalize purchasing a product targeted at children.  But more and more there a Trek like elements being incorporated into society.  From Flip Phones(Communicators) to The Hadron Collider Experiments(the seeds of Warp Drive Technology) to continuing experiments in particle transpotation.  I have also uncovered video proof which can be viewed below:

By now, most likely, you have quickly glanced at the alleged photos of Vikings QB Brett Farve’s penis.  The NFL has now launched their investigation and I was surprised to find that texters/callers/emailers on today’s show are certain that Farve will be suspended, maybe for as many as four games.  As disturbing, and the ladies may say “dissapointing”, as the junk photos may be, I’m not sure the NFL should suspend a player for something he did that was not illegal.  Reading between the lines in the Deadspin reporting, it seems that Jenn Sterger told Deadspin about the incident “off the record”.  Since she had made no comment, and Deadspin is going to medium lengths (Sorry, Brett) to make it clear that they paid a third party for the photos and voicemail, is it safe to assume that Ms. Sterger was just not that bothered by the incident?  Or perhaps solicited the photos?  Mr. Farve may not be the brightest bulb on the planet, but are you really telling me that a veteran NFL quarterback is randomly sending photos of his piece to a hot chick he wants to hook up with after leaving a couple unanswered voicemails?

If he was sending unwanted photos of his gridiron to female Jet employees, then I assume that’s a crime.  Why didn’t Ms. Sterger tell the authorities about it at the time?  And please don’t tell me that she feared repercussions from the team.  In this day and age, unsolicited photos of Brett Farve’s penis sent to your Blackberry equal massive payout on civil lawsuit.  I think there’s more to the story then we know about and hence, I don’t think Brett Farve should be suspended.  Does the NFL want their high profile stars sending photo’s of their junk to female employees?  Definitely not.  Not good for the corporate image.  However, unless you can prove it’s a crime and not something that occured between consenting adults, I don’t think you have the right to suspend the man for it.

However, has the precident already been set with Ben Rothlessberger?  As you know, “Big Ben” was never charged with a crime, and still served his four game suspension for, essentially, conduct unbecoming an NFL star.  I guess the NFL, as a private entity, could determine the same about Brett.  One thing is for sure, as one of our fine listeners pointed out this morning, Brett would be well served to use the “tuck rule” in future pictures.  I dare you to watch one of those Wrangler commercials now and not ask yourself how they look with Crocs.
