Yeah, thats right - Seaside Heights, here we come. Steroids, bronzer, and blowouts - this place has got it all. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll run into Tommy - gotta love this guy.
… He loves his Cheeseballs.
… And is a dancing machine (until he pukes in the corner)
There are many reasons why you shouldn’t be friends with your parents on facebook. Drunken photos, ridiculous status messages… these are really just some things your folks should never be seeing.
But the biggest reason why to not be facebook friends with your parents? So your roomate doesn’t friend your mom and strike up convo.
Seriously - quit talking to my mom dude.
… I know it’s pathetic, but I’m going to talk about NASCAR.
So today it was reported the following this season Tony Stewart will be ending his 10 year run with Joe Gibbs Racing and moving over to the Haas/CNC team. Tony Stewart is officially a moron.
How can you leave one of the best teams in NASCAR for one of the worst? Right now Stewart has it made - driving for a Gibbs team that currently has every one of their drivers in position to make The Chase, coupled with complete domination in the Nationwide Series (Gibbs has won 13/19 this season). What possible reason could there be to leave? Currently surrounded by the best equipment and the best team, Stewart is going to leave it all behind.
His crew - not going with him (terms of his deal to leave Gibbs Racing). No more #20 Home Depot car. No more Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin helping you move through the field.
… I’m not seeing a lot of benefit here.
Sure, he bought 50% of the Haas team - but why? It’s current drivers (Johnny Sauter and Scott Riggs) - how many races have they won this year? Big fat zero. Thats what you’re joining Tony. A garbage team that currently has a couple mediocre drivers.
Find yourself a new crew, and a new car - and then we’ll see how you do. And as for Gibbs Racing - sure they’ll miss Tony. He was a great driver. But the future looks bright. Stewart’s replacement, Joey Logano, is an uber-talent who at only 18 years old already has a win, two poles, and two top 5’s in his first 4 starts.
Great move Tony. Enjoy your fall to mediocrity.
Just discussed on ESPN’s NFL Live:
Chris Mortensen reports Brett Favre is considering a comeback. Apparently Brett claims to still have “the itch”.
I got mad love for you Brett, but you’re really taking your team on quite a roller coaster ride. If you want to come back, of course we will welcome you back (I say “we” because I of course am a part-owner) - you are one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. But how is your decision going to affect the rest of your team - especially Aaron Rodgers. For the last few months, your team has been preparing for the season with the understanding that Rodgers will be the starter. The offense has evolved to focus on his specific talents. Is that all supposed to be scrapped now? And what about Rodgers himself? He has waited patiently for the past few seasons, waiting for his chance. And to finally get that chance, and then have it ripped away… eventually he is going to want to go somewhere else. We can’t afford to let our potential future for the next decade get away.
Either way, Brett Favre will always remain my sports hero. Always. But please keep in mind the ramifications of your actions. Please don’t let your “itch” to play endanger the future of the franchise you spent so many years building up.

I forgot to lock my computer today when I wandered away from my desk. Here is the resulting mass email, subject: “Moving On…”
After two years of service here at ESPN.com, I have decided to move on and pursue my life long dream of winning Dancing with the Stars. The dynamic tandem of Ru Paul and myself will be fox-trotting, waltzing, and cha-cha-cha-ing our way straight to the top. Please be sure to text in and vote for us starting this September on ABC.
One would think that after 2 years and twenty or so of these ridiculous emails I would learn my lesson. Apparently, not so much.
Today I decided to jump on the Twitter bandwagon. So far, I am truly unimpressed.
I used to use Twitter for the ever-popular “Overheard at the Office” section of Skaboom.net, but killed it when the level of vulgarity got just a bit too high. I returned to my account today, in hopes of cleaning out all of the absurdities that were there, and starting fresh… Apparently, deleting the 15 posts that were there was just a little bit too much for Twitter to handle.
Needless to say, I deleted and re-created skaboom on Twitter
Sure, Twitter gets a ton of traffic, which obviously explains its many issues. Maybe it’s just me, but if my site scaled that bad, I think I would just take it down.
Come on now Twitter - Lock it up.
So my grandfather has discovered the internet… which of course has led to an inevitable abundance of email forwards.
I thought this one was mildly amusing and I should share it. Please Enjoy
Subject: Home Depot
Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary to Home Depot. At Home Depot, Mary saw a beautiful bathroom faucet while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer.
When Walt was finished, Mary asked “How much for that faucet?”
Walt replied, “That’s pewter and it costs $300.”
“My goodness that sure is a lot of money!” Mary exclaimed. Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it.
From the back room Walt yelled, “Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?”
Mary replied, “No, but I will for the faucet.”
…This is why you can’t send a woman to Home Depot!!!!!!!!!!!!
