Axl Bites Man...

Axl Rose and whatever is passing for Guns and Roses is touring in Scandinavia.

Axl, allegedly, got into an argument with a woman in a hotel lobby. A security guard intervened. And...Axl bit him...allegedly.

Wonder if Axl's rabies tag is up to date?

Axl doing what GNR did best. Just before the destruction of a great rock band.(1992)

I can see this guy getting his ass kicked by Tommy Hillfigger. What...is that from a rock concert or a performance of Cats.(2006)

Comic Book Deviants...a Reason...#1

The reason that lots of we, Silver Age comics fans, have grown up to be deviants.

Yes, Lois. Yes! Whip the puppet! Whip the puppet!

HA!

Scorpion Man, Scorpion Man, Does Everything a Scorpion Can...Look Out...Here Comes the Scorpion Man

Radioactive scorpion venom to be used in cancer fighting experiments.

Cool if it works out...bad if the patients develop a thirst for warm flesh with their venom dripping tails...or even if they develop tails.

Here's hoping for good results.

Swim like a Dolphin...

Jetskis...the Next Generation.



This looks bad assed.

I bet that is a jarring impact when they leap it out of the water and crash back in.

Bet the insurance on renting these things at the coast to ride around in the ocean would be gigantic.

OPEC is dead...

...well, dying.



Behold, the rise of CPEC.

Corn Producing Economic Corporations.

Ethanol and the reshaping of the American rural economy.

Interesting...

That while our lawmakers are trying to make political capital on both sides of the aisle in Washington DC, an American General in Iraq is putting together a troop drawdown plan.

I just hope that military strategy instead of politics is the deciding factor.

1981 - 33 Innings, 882 Pitches, 8 hours and 25 minutes,

This is a cool story!

Cal Ripken Jr., Wade Boggs, Joe Morgan...and a long, long, long minor league baseball game in 1981.

I'm surprised they stopped it. It was already an epic. It needed a last chapter. I'm sure they were tired. But if you were playing...well...wouldn't it leave a horrible taste in your mouth to have gone that far, that long, with that much effort, and had to come back and play again another day...and finish the epic in...18 minutes.

Better story if they finish the game that night, under those conditions, with the players on the field.

Too bad there's not video of this game...that would be cool...in edited down form of course...HA!

Show of hands...

Okay, show of hands, how many among us expected/suspected that the government was already monitoring bank transactions?

I mean, c'mon, SEC, Homeland Security, Social Security, FDIC, etc. Someone is always keeping their eye on the money. And as someone who paid attention when my grandmother and great-grandmother spoke about the Great Depression, someone had damn well better be keeping an eye on it.

Again, I don't have a problem with this. More power to them if it leads them to the bad guys.

The Under-shaker

Somewhere there's a gamer geek who hopes that the Undertaker never finds out who he is, where he's from, and what he did to him via a video game...



I grabbed this via CollegeHumor. Very, very disturbing...a 300 lbs man doing the prance dance.

This Petri Dish Earth

Reports say that a meteor exploded in the atmosphere over a town in India during a monsoon. Since then, red rains have been falling in the area.

The kicker...there are unrecognized cell structures in the rain that is falling. Cells that are apparently replicating.

Somebody key the ominous music.

More...Just Us Cup...

If the cut off were today, 12th position would still be in the Chase for the Just Us Cup.

Elliott Sadler is barely within 400 points of the leader. With Ken Schrader and Michael Waltrip on the outside looking in.

There's a lot of races between here and the cutoff though.

Good luck to all.

The Just Us Cup...

There was a pretty significant shake up in the #2 through the #5 slot this week. The first major moves in the Top 5 in over a month.

Welcome to halfway through the season.

The Ben Roethlisberger Effect Strikes NASCAR…

Scott Riggs(#10-Valvoline Dodge) was injured at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Monday.

While on vacation with his family, Riggs injured both feet while unloading a jet ski over an oyster bed. The injuries required stitches in both of his feet.

Bill Elliott will stand by this weekend at Sonoma should Riggs not be able to practice, qualify or race the Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge Charger.

As things stand today, Riggs will be racing Sunday, according to the team. With Bill Elliott there on a “just-in-case” basis.

“I’m going to Sonoma to race,” Riggs said Wednesday. “It was a freak incident at Myrtle Beach. There was no warning about an oyster bed where we unloaded. We’ll see what happens when I get in the race car. I’m going to do what’s best for the team this weekend.”

Ken Schrader has 4 DNFs this season. He and the Wood Brothers just aren’t gelling like they should be.

Jayski’s All Time Cup Winners List

The cool thing…Kasey Kahne is already at #62 for his career…that’s incredible.

Other things on the list that bother me…Jeff Gordon is 3 wins behind Dale Earnhardt Sr. …and maybe it makes me a bastard, but, here’s hoping that he doesn’t get them.

***

The official UPS sponsorship announcement for next season is expected on Friday…

Roush is denying that UPS is in line for Greg Biffle’s #16. The Augusta Chronicle is reporting that Ray Everham couldn’t negotiate a deal with Dodge to put UPS on Kasey Kahne’s #9…can you blame Dodge though. Kahne is a gold mine advertising-wise.

HAAS Motorsports Owner Arrested. No word yet on the impact this will have on the Cup #66 and the Busch #00

And more on this story here

To the tune of $20,000,000.00…I see jail in his future.

Pocono 500 at Long Pond, PA...the Just Us Cupdate

The Race Report

Hamlin Wins at Pocono...Rookie on a Rampage

Casey Mears Joins Hendrick, Vickers Out

Look no further than the performance of Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch to see that if the equipment
is equal, then, Vickers failed to perform in this job. Either that, or he was getting all the
developmental/experimental stuff that when its refined and ready for competition shows up on the
other three Hendricks' cars. Time will tell.

Lee Spencer's column...this is good stuff

Lee Spencer's five questions...and Puff's five answers

Five questions to make you go hmmm

1 Can all five of Jack Roush's teams squeak into the Chase again?

Entirely possible.

2 Rookies Denny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer have stolen the spotlight. Will any of the other freshmen
emerge?

I doubt it.

3 Toyota still must fill its roster. Will the Japanese automaker wreak havoc on existing teams by
hiring away drivers and crewmembers?

Yes. This is going to happen. Dodge was respectful and almost quiet when they entered. They
chose the lamb route...Toyota will be the lion. I'm still surprised that Harvick didn't pull the
trigger on the Red Bull deal or actively seek the Red Bull deal...I mean, c'mon, Red Bull and
Kevin Harvick sounds like an advertising dream to me.

4 Will the double duties of Cup drivers also competing in the Busch Series become too taxing in
the non-companion events?

No. Kevin Harvick proved that it was do-able in the season we lost Dale Earnhardt Sr. It's do-able
and possible to be successful doing it.

5 How much of an advantage will teams chosen for Goodyear tire tests have over the field?

With the testing restrictions that have been implemented, quite a bit. But when you look back at
Jimmie Johnson eating the wall in that tire test earlier this season, you have to wonder, if the
payoff will be worth the cost.

Jamie McMurray winning the "Anna Kournikova Award" is mean...funny...but mean.

Gibbs Not Happy With Stewart's Extra-curricular Racing, but He Won't Make Moves to Stop Him

Jeff Gordon About Just How Hard that Wall Was at Pocono

Bill Lester Tried to Qualify for his Second Cup Race This Season...He Made It!...Go Bill, Go

Rumor has it that UPS might go to the #16 Greg Biffle Roush Ford

Danica Patrick Just Says No...For Now

Car of Tomorrow...New Revision...Goes to the Wind Tunnel

I thought part of the idea was to make the cars less aero dependent...

In the "You have got to be kidding me" Department...

Little Debbie sponsorship note: The #21-Wood Brother's part time sponsor, Little
Debbie snacks, is run by Seventh Adventists. From sundown Friday till sundown Saturday, the team
has to cover all Little Debbie logos on the hauler, wear non-L. D. attire and remove all L. D.
livery from the race car.(Autoweek)(3-16-2006)

Schrader's Future...

Kenny Schrader says he has nothing lined up for next year. "If you hear of anything,
call me," said Schrader, rushing off to grab a bite to eat before his qualifying session at
Michigan. Schrader said two years ago that when his Nextel Cup career came to a close, he would
concentrate on the Craftsman Truck series and run his "Late Model" cars at the short tracks
around the country.

Hey, Mr. Bush

In 1996, responding to a Hawaii Supreme Court ruling that a ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, Congress passed and President Clinton signed into law the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage for the purpose of federal law.

From an article on CNN.

Turns out that there IS already a Federal Law banning same sex marriage.

So...why are we twisting about this again. It can't be a case of "look at what we're doing over here...not at what's going on over there...here, same sex marriage, look we're fighting back against that, yeah...don't worry about that over there"...can it?

Classic Karl Rove-ian strategy.

Next up...flag burning and the estate tax. So, I'll go ahead and lay my cards on the table there too.

I still say that way to stop flag burning is to tell those who do it, if they feel so strongly about it, to go do it in the parking lot of a superspeedway during NASCAR race weekend.

As to estate taxes, as long as the rich man pays his freight in an analogus way to the poor man, I'm good with reform. If the rich man pays less of a percentage simply because he's rich, that's bullshit.

Now, then, Mr. Bush, can we get back to Iraq and our men overseas, the economy, and gas prices.

Thank you,

Weird stats on the end of this race. Kurt Busch finished behind Jeff Gordon, but Busch was still running and managed to take the checkered flag and Gordon wasn't.
