Hello, seatbelt wearers.
The new “Click-It or Ticket” campaign starts in the IL today. John spoke to a police officer who said in his 30+ years of traffic accidents he has only unbuckled three dead people. JC’s way to get teens to buckle-up is to tell them they won’t pass the driver’s test if they don’t buckle.
Is Syesha eating boob food? It sure looks like it. (For those who don’t know, that’s an “Idol” reference.) Speaking of boobs – no, perverts, we aren’t putting up a photo of Laurie in her little sexy t-shirt today.
Dave swims three days a week (M, W, F) right after he’s finished with our late weathercast.
JC is about 75% ready for pitching in his 50+ baseball league. He’s a RHP & his left buttock hurts.
Tom Farley, Jr. was on-the-air with us today talking about his biography of his brother Chris. The book is The Chris Farley Show & came out yesterday. Clicky, so you, the listener, can learn about the Chris Farley Foundation.
Our Mother’s Day daily prize features a pair of tickets to see Thoroughly Modern Millie at Stages St. Louis, plus a gift certificate to Merb's Candies for 2 pounds of chocolate-covered strawberries.
The grand prize is for you & two friends to join Laurie Mac for a "Girls Night Out" on Thursday, June 5th! First, you head to Daisy Clover Boutique in Webster Groves, for a "Denim Makeover Package." Then your Jed Limousine driver takes you to Sunset 44 for heavy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Then ride to Stages to see Thoroughly Modern Millie, the first show of the Stages 2008 season.
1952’s The Greatest Show on Earth was directed by Cecil B. DeMille & won Best Picture.
I think “whore” is a great comedy word.
A theory from one of youse: Rick Ankiel is too strong a thrower to be a pitcher.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have found that the type of fat that collects around the hips & rear called subcutaneous fat actually helps regulate blood sugar & speeds up a person's metabolism. But visceral fat, the fat that collects around a person's stomach doesn't create any of the same health benefits. In other words, having a big, delicious backside is actually good for your health.
JC lost his wedding ring yesterday while dealing with a plumbing issue.
From Women's Health:
13% of women say they've broken up with a guy because he was bad in bed.
9% of women have broken up with a guy just because they didn't like his jerk friends.
2% of women have dumped a guy just because the dude couldn't dance.
40% of women say a guy has actually talked them out of dumping him mid-breakup.
9% of women actually prefer it if you break up with them over the phone.
11% of women think it's totally cool to use a text message to break up with you. Or, like on that “Sex & the City” episode – use a post-it note.
Speaking of Post-its, here’s how a real man uses one:
Over the past 14 years, the number of shooting related turkey-hunting incidents has dropped dramatically nationwide, making it one of the safest outdoor activities.
According to a report published by American Sports Data Inc., football has the highest rate of injury of any sport with 18.8 per 100,000 participants, ice hockey has 15.9 injuries per 100,000 participants and volleyball has 3.1 injuries per 100,000.
The number of turkey-hunting incidents nationwide, by comparison, has dropped dramatically from 8.1 incidents per 100,000 hunters in 1991 to 2.95 incidents per 100,000 hunters in 2005.
Want some Turkey Hunting Tips and Tactics? Clicky.
An update on JC’s softball umpire woes: he met with the director of umpires. And she said that last year they had some strike zone problems, so they made this ridiculous rule to… blah blah blah BS BS BS excuse. As John said, “They are still wrong.”
To see some underhanded (or “submarine”) MLB pitchers (with names I can’t pronounce), clicky.
The JoY was baseball stand-up from Brian Regan. The F4 featured warm songs & a Spanish guitar version of “In My Life” (artist unknown at this time). The Vault was Don Henley’s “Not Enough Love in the World.” Finally, “Captain” Louis Vincent Albano was in the video for Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
Don't Do Anything Stupid,
Carl The Intern
