Sophia Bush, by popular demand … brothels are close to becoming real popular in Canada … celebrities fighting on twitter! … the Atlantic names its ‘Brave Thinkers‘ … Baltimore’s celebrity smackdown has Michael Phelps, Stacy Keibler, Cal Ripken and Ray Lewis all in the same bracket … January Jones in GQ … for those of you with kids: “How Young Is Too Young To Be Slutty Whatever for Halloween?” … that Seth Green “mugging” from last week appears to have been staged … Florida kids light another kid on fire for “payback over money owed for a video game” …

October 14th, 2009 at 8:09 am
That’s quite a melon on Sophia Bush. Almost looks Photoshopped.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:09 am
also those pictures in that article are vile.

CBS’s rating was higher than LSU’s score.

I had a dream last night that has resulted in my decision to become a Packers fan. This ‘Skins shit has taken too many years off my life already. I’ve been forced into self-preservation.

Isn’t it well known that Anthony Kim is a party animal???
I thought he had cut back some this year, because he has been working with a trainer and is trying to get in shape. But I have read countless stories about him going out and having a good time.
Hell if I was 24 and basically had the cash to do whatever I wanted to, I would hate to imagine what I might do….
Allenby should never comment on all of that. He was just bitter he got his ass handed to him.

Baltimore’s celebrity smackdown has Michael Phelps, Stacy Keibler, Cal Ripken and Ray Lewis all in the same bracket
no love for Pat Sajak?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Dear lord.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:54 am
@Irish
Sajak is in there too
October 14th, 2009 at 8:57 am
i knew that Badger. i was just asking why he wasn’t mentioned in with the others above. Pat Sajak is the man.

I don’t watch too much golf, but now I will because I dig Kim.

So based on Grant Wahl’s South Africa World Cup story, the only worse place to have a world cup is probably Rio De Janeiro.
It sounds like visitors can expect to have their pockets picked, get mugged at gunpoint, easily find an AIDS hooker, and get murdered. I’m calling my travel agent right now.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:02 am
sure, i won’t watch a game if it happens.
just hire competant umps and expand review. if, in the case of the mauer blown call, overturn it and give him first base.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:03 am
I don’t watch too much golf, but when I do, it always Anthony Kim

RE: Rio. i just read an article in the New Yorker that said last year Rio had over 5000 murders. i won’t be running out for my olympics tickets
October 14th, 2009 at 9:07 am

October 14th, 2009 at 9:08 am
this is hardly news.
i love when allenby says his shit and AK just comes back, “well maybe he should practice more.”
boom. roasted.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:09 am
how many murders are in this country?
October 14th, 2009 at 9:14 am
apparently one too few since celine dion is still making music.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:14 am
texans, according to this, about 14,000.

That’s murders in a city Texansfan. 5000 in a city. There is about 300-400 reported in nyc a year. Nuts
October 14th, 2009 at 9:15 am

At least didn’t ask Allenby about his wife
October 14th, 2009 at 9:17 am
I’m too lazy to look it up, but I remember that Chicago was right around 500 murders last year. So if your going to the Olympics bring shotguns in guitar cases.

jpq…wrong aussie.
allenby was jeered at the aussie PGA championship after his mother died and now refuses to play in his home country.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Rio had 5000 murders in a population of (i think) 14MM. according to the article, that number does not include things like “rapes that result in death” or “riots that result in death”. over 1100 of those murders were committed by the police.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:19 am
I used to go to Brazil (mainly Sao Paolo) for business. They play for keeps down there. Also Mexico City.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:21 am
ah okay 5000 in one city. Wow. Im going to have to look up fallujah and ramadi in 2004 once i get to a computer

maybe it’s just me, but i think hanging with kenny perry and fred couples would be a pretty good time. you know perry has to love that kentucky whiskey.

I’m working on dating a Brazilian girl now. My boss (ex military) told me not to because at some point it’s a lock she will stab me with the nearest sharp object. But this girl is hot enough I’m willing to take that chance. I don’t even think I’d be upset if she stabbed me after I got to sleep with her.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:33 am

Where legal of course and if you are into babysitting I guess.
Anyone else see that Showtime movie called “Babysitters” something?
October 14th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Please consult Don Geronimo aka Michael Sorce.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:39 am
They are too spicy for me as I have heard from other guys. And if you are not upset at being stabbed, you need serious help.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:51 am
I believe it.
JPQ I can’t wait for your site launch that includes these tales as well not to mention your contests and connections to SoFL poon and Bangboats, with your whyyyte suburban family life well intact as well as your true identity to remain classified for sake of The Mission of course.
This beats anything that David Duchovny could come up with for sake of marketing to the mid-life crisis set, which it seems a few too many dudes are buying hook, line, and sinker.
A few of many pertinent questions:
Photos of strange foreign women encountered for business reasons whilst on business travel?
How many times have you dodged an assassination attempt?
Are you being followed? If not, when was the last time?
Tell us about the last time you had a ninnie or douchebag “taken care of”?
