Tag: General InterestKevin Hail @ 10:42 pm

It’s fascinating to hear that Michael was totally on his game at 50 years old.  It would have been great to see him perform.  Makes me sad.

NKorea warns US of ‘thousand-fold’ military action - Yahoo! News

Tag: General InterestKevin Hail @ 7:09 am

Any suggestions for what we can do to stop this idiot and his dangerous regime?  I say we round up all the action heros from Hollywood and give it a shot…Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme, Undercover Brother.  Let’s helicopter them in and see if at least one of them can take down their government.

If you’ve had even 5 seconds of involvement with copyright law you’ll be hilariously mortified by this. It’s almost too good to be true.

14-year-old hit by 30,000 mph space meteorite - Telegraph

Tag: General InterestKevin Hail @ 11:12 am

Never, ever, ever for as long as this young man lives will he EVER have anyone top him at a cocktail party. Dates with good looking women, instant acceptance into the Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, Freemasons, getting out of speeding tickets.  All of this will unfold before his meteorite scarred hands.  Awesome!!!

Good stuff. A friend of mine recently ran into “Kid” in a bar.  His hair was much shorter.  I think Kid was the one with the crazy tall hair that made him look like Chef Boyardee….

Bryce Harper punches his ticket to Cooperstown at age 16 - Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Tag: SportsKevin Hail @ 8:27 am

This is supposed to be the new golden child of baseball.  A 16 year old that has the body of a 25 year old.  He has hit the ball 570 feet which is more than almost any other major leaguer in the game today.  He reminds everyone of Lebron at the same age, in the sense that he was a men among boys.

We’ll all have to keep an eye on him and see if fame doesn’t ruin him at an early age.

Yahoo! Buzz Log - MTV Writer Admits ‘Bruno’ Stunt Was Staged

Tag: General InterestKevin Hail @ 7:37 am

If you haven’t seen the crazy MTV stunt that Sasha Baron Cohen pulled on Eminem, look it up on YouTube.  I’m so disappointed to hear that it was fake.  I would love for Eminem to have been disgracefully punked.
