8 Awkward moments of Childhood.

COURTESY OF HOLYTACO.COM

ENJOY!

Growing up is one embarrassing moment after another. Here's a few moments that tend to stand out from the rest.

8. WET DREAM

When you wake up from your first wet dream, you're basically like one of those soldiers in the first twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan; scared and confused and checking to see if the stuff you're covered in is coming from your body. After realizing it's not urine by rubbing it between your fingers and smelling it like an 1800s fur trader trying to make sure he's not getting a fake pelt, it's clean up time. I'm pretty convinced that if murderers took the time and paid the attention to detail that kids spend hiding the evidence of an unexpected splooge, death row would be empty.

7. ASKING A GIRL OUT

The first time you try and ask a girl out on a date ends up sounding a lot like a Woody Allen monologue. You start off with, "Um, so, um, I was wondering if, like, ya know, maybe you wanted to, like…I mean you're probably busy, but, like…" and then after three minutes of that you end it with "…and so my friend was all, like, ya know weird and then the helicopter picked them up off the boat…and that's it." After you walk away thinking you were totally cool, it slowly dawns on you that you didn't actually ask her out, but in your nervous desperation ended up telling her about an episode of Gilligan's Island.

6. GETTING A BONER IN A PLAYGROUND SETTING

When you're little, boners, much like hurricanes, are an unstoppable force that comes with little or no warning, leaving you powerless until they've run their course. Your only hope is that they happen in unpopulated areas. But sometimes a slight wind mixed with a quick lateral movement during a tag game, causes a boner to rear it's ugly head. And if you're not wearing pants or shorts that allow for the "Tuck it behind your belt" method, you're forced to waddle towards a place where you can sit down, in hopes that pushing your ass out will leave enough open space in the crotch area of your shorts to give your boner some breathing room. Unfortunately everyone can identify that walk, and they suddenly stop whatever they're doing and point and stare like they're a group of Japanese tourists on a whale watching expedition. Then the kid who's parents don't pay enough attention to him at home yells out "he's got a boner!" and ironically adds, "What a homo!"


5. CRAPPING/PISSING YOURSELF

Managing bathroom breaks is one of the trickier aspects of being a child. Which is why you see so many young boys running around and holding their wieners like your dad holds the garden hose when he doesn't want any water to come out of it. But there's still nothing worse than realizing you just crapped yourself or unloaded a gallon of Kool Aid into your Underoos. The problem is, what do you do after you've demolished your pants in a public setting? Most kids just freeze like a deer in the headlights and pretend nothing happened while their minds race over their options, which are: 1) Sit there and pretend nothing happened. Then when someone asks about the smell, blame the retarded kid. Or 2) Start crying. As with most childhood situations, options 1 and 2 usually end up occurring.

4. YOUR FIRST FIGHT

Somebody's Derek Jeter binder got stepped on and suddenly a time and location are set and the entire school has found out. Your friends, who have never been in a fight, suddenly have a wealth of combat knowledge to share with you. When you arrive to the location after school, you partake in the ceremonial "calling your opponent a fag" portion of the event for several minutes as you both try and put off the actual fighting part of the fight. But the crowd becomes restless, and suddenly you clamp your fist and swing it towards your opponent like you're throwing a grenade under water. It lands nowhere near his face like you had planned, and the fight devolves into both of you pulling each others shirts while on the ground, and getting super red faced, as if you're attempting to shit out a bowling ball. After about twenty seconds of what looks like two kids dry humping, the crowd sees a random adult 200 yards away and scatters frantically.

3. CRYING IN FRONT OF EVERYONE

Whether it's because you fell down on the playground or crapped your pants or got caught stealing, everyone has a moment in their childhood where they stood there and let buckets of tears and snot run down their face while making that hiccupy air sucking noise in front of all their friends. And after the "incident" is over, your best friends won't talk to you for at least an hour because they don't want to catch your shame cooties. No one will actually say the word "dignity" (mostly because they're too young to know what it means) but from that day forward you will know that you don't have any.

2. GETTING CAUGHT MASTURBATING

The sheer, heart-stopping terror that shoots through your body when your mom walks in while you're masturbating causes you to blurt out the the only words you can think of as fast as you can. Unfortunately your nerves have only left you with a collection of ridiculous phrases that do nothing too help your cause. "Whoa, cleaning! Washing…hang on! No, I'm not! Just can't get my pants on! Stuck! New underwear! I swear!" If you have a hippy mom, she'll probably try and tell you that what you're doing is a completely normal bodily function. If you have an uptight mom, she'll walk out and pretend nothing ever happened. (Pray for an uptight mom.)

1. WALKING IN ON YOUR PARENTS HAVING SEX

Few things in life are as scarring as going to ask your parents if you can open the new box of Cocoa puffs, only to find your father putting his erect penis inside your mother. If the government could make the terrorists in Guantamo Bay watch their parents boning in front of them, we could get rid of waterboarding. The worst part about it is when your parents see you, they frantically try to pull the covers over themselves and turn away from you, except they haven't coordinated this, so they each pull different things, resulting in them pulling covers off of another part of their body. This leaves you face to face with images such as the back of your dad's nutsack, or your mom's asshole.

There's something in the air...(sniff)...oh, never mind, it's just the usual arrogance

An amazing irony- at the same time the GOP is planning, more or less, their love-in at the Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis, Senate Republicans are monkey-wrenching renewal of key tax credits for investment in and production of alternative energy sources. At the same time, however, conservative Democrats in the House are in the midst of petulant hissy-fitting, vowing to block any extension that adds to the deficit.

Are you fucking kidding me? I haven't heard much in the way of protest over the tax credits being shoveled from the back of Capitol Hill's truck onto the lawns of the oil companies, nor have I heard much in the way of argument over House Democrats throwing the checkbook and a pen to President Bush every time the phrase "Iraq," or "terrorism" pops up, so the stance on the alternative energy tax credits smacks of the usual half-cocked arrogance we have come to expect from so-called politicians like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who thinks nothing of investing in alternative energy plans, like those proposed by T. Boone Pickens, while not even understanding basic principles, such as natural gas being a fossil fuel (on Meet the Press last week, Pelosi referred to natural gas as an alternative to fossil fuel)

This arrogance is ill-afforded, with not only loss of jobs and commerce hanging in the balance, but definable, if not clear-cut solutions to our nation's dependence on over-priced oil.

Ghost hunting and wild goose chasing

What a way to spend your Labor Day, trekking through a mountain range in Nevada on a wild ghost chase. A search team of 28 have resumed the search for adventurer Steve Fossett, who went all Amelia Earhart during a solo flight last Labor Day. Honestly, were all the UFO and Bigfoot hunts booked solid? The renewed search effort is based on information from another pilot who was in the area the same day as Fossett. Call me a perpetual cynic, but wouldn't this information have been a little more helpful, oh, say, a year ago, when Fossett left the radar for good? Next year, just have a damn cookout, have a little BBQ...

How surprised I was when I learned that some banks are no longer lending money to students in community colleges. Interesting, isn't it? Half the banks in this country are teetering on the brink of disaster, thanks in no small part to their blind ramble through the housing market fiasco, and it is higher education that is suffering. By my way of thinking, and bank that will not write loans to students in community colleges should be barred from offering student loans at all, of any kind. You don't want risk, get out of the lending business, cause there is a very negligible risk in funding higher education as opposed to sticking someone with a house they probably would have understood they could not afford on down the road...if they were better educated, that is...

When did the Palin's marriage vows include sharing the Governor's duties?

I keep meaning to write about something besides politics, but there is just so much happening, that I must comment on.

Case in point, a governor who uses the power of her position, to wash her family's dirty laundry in public! But bear in mind, so far all we are getting is her and her family's version of exactly what has happened- apparently you had better not get on her wrong side- can't wait for this soap opera to get to the White House if she and John McCain should get elected.

I also thought Sarah Palin is Governor of Alaska, but apparently her husband has been getting in on the action in some small but still inappropriate ways. According to news reports, Todd Palin invited Walter Monegan, Public Safety Commissioner (whom his wife appointed) to the Governor's mansion in January 2007 to ask him to look into his ex-brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten's case. He was told the case was closed. This was then followed up by Gov. Palin in cell phone calls and emails, leading to this last July, when Monegan was fired because she wanted "to go in a different direction," or in other words, a direction she could more easily influence.

So if she and McCain are elected, are we going to have two Vice-Presidents?

Wonder if this interrupted helping McCain blow out the candles on his birthday cake?

While John McCain was having Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin metaphorically jump from his birthday cake yesterday, announcing her puzzling selection as the GOP vice-presidential candidate, President Bush was attempting to look busy, you know, now that the sand's almost run through the hourglass on his presidency (and thank God or your personal deity of choice for that).

Early this morning, according to reports from the AP, Bush was in contact with the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas, co-ordinating efforts to brace for the impending arrival of Hurricane Gustav, which has hit wind speeds of up to 120mph as it prepares to bitchslap Cuba on its way to the United States. White House yeshole Scott Stanzel said Bush told the governors of those states they'd have the full support of the federal government.

I'm sure that made a lot of people feel better- as they were getting the fuck out of Dodge, so to speak. I'll bet the consensus is simple "keep your jacked-up FEMA trailers, and go read to some kids or something." I'm sure Bush could use a little help on his phonics, and who better to assist than some NCLB "success" stories? Of course, knowing our, ahem, president, he'll wind up bringing a pop-up book with him.

Here's to hoping for the best for the Gulf Coast, although personally, I think they're fucked...

Look out! I think she may be rabid!

Well, John McCain unveiled his choice for his running mate yesterday, and I must say he apparently picked very well. The moment his pick, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, got in front of cameras and microphones, she started flip-flopping on what she's done or not done!

But to my way of thinking, what is really frightening about her is the way they kept saying she is rabid anti-abortion, rabid this and rabid that...

Rabid is just another word for fanatical, and after the last eight years, that is just what we do not need in the White House, be it President or Vice-President!

Odds and ends from the wrestling world this week

In a recent interview with The Sun in Britain, WWE attorney Peter McDevitt spoke out on the lawsuit being brought by former WWE talent Raven, Chris Kanyon, and Mike Sanders (yes, I know I'm using the term talent loosely here, in regards to Raven). McDevitt dismissed the merits of the suit, as all WWE performers agree to independent contractor status when they slap their autograph on the dotted line, meaning that, among other things, they bear responsibility for their health benefits. McDevitt also added that the Internal Revenue Service had never taken issue with World Wrestling Entertainment over the status of their contracted in-ring talent.


But that's okay, let the marks weigh in, too. I mean, what the hell does a guy who went to law school know? Some rocket surgeon let loose with this misguided pearl of wisdom: "Vince should guarantee all his full-time wrestlers have healthcare, for God's sake."


Sigh. This is what happens when marks and the Internet collide, everybody becomes an insider. To get an excellent take on providing health benefits for professional fighters (don't roll your eyes at me, there are still states that insist on licensing pro wrestling, regardless of whether or not kayfabe is obvious to anyone not in the gorilla position), read UFC head Dana White's interview in the September 2008 Playboy, where he uses opening a yogurt shop as a comparison. As a small business owner, I can tell you first-hand that the costs of providing healthcare for any number of employees is or can be a major chunk of operating capital, and a large reason a lot of businesses either fail or simply do not provide benefits at all. Try calling up a few insurance companies, and tell them you are trying to get a flock of pro wrestlers insured, and see what kind of response, other than a sudden dial tone in your ear, you get. Then look at your original argument again, and tell me how stupid it looks in the big picture.


That is not to say WWE does not watch their workers' backs when the fit hits the shan, but on a simple cost-effective basis, you will never see WWE, TNA, UFC, EliteXC, IFL, or any boxing federation start handing out Blue Cross Blue Shield cards backstage. It's okay to be a mark, but before you start telling people how to run their business, maybe try getting a business degree or a basic understanding of how the industry (and by industry, I mean the business behind the business of professional wrestling) works first.

Word from South of the border is that Shane McMahon went to talk turkey with Mexican cable channels Televisa and TV Azteca, pitching deals to get WWE programming on the air, however, when all was said and done, no agreement was reached. Quite frankly, this leaves me scratching my head. While it is disappointing (for the Mexicans) that WWE programming has yet to fully invade their country, the flip side of the coin is true here in the United States. My cable provider offers Univision, and I believe Telemundo for a brief spell a couple years back, there is a woeful lack of Lucha Libre action available...and on a Spanish-language network, to boot! Granted, unless you paid a lot more attention in your high school Spanish classes than I did, the promos won't make a lick of sense, but wrestling's a universal language! BRING ME INSANE MASKED MEXICAN WRESTLING, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

Ugh. Watching the Summerslam rematch between MVP and Jeff Harvey (yes, it's intentional) on Smackdown!, and it occurs to me that sometimes, I really miss the XFL. It was a lot less grating on the nerves to listen to Jim Ross hyperbole away on how every other move "was an XFL-style kick/punch/insert move here," than it is to listen to him gush all over the headset each and every week about how Harvey (still intentional) is the greatest thing since sliced came in bread form.

How Jeff Harvey (I'm not gonna spell it right...just don't care) still ranks the push he gets from WWE creative is the real enigma. He has a lousy work ethic. Pay attention, I mean real good and close attention to any match he works...he blows at least three spots in each and every one. Without fail. If you at home are anything like me, you're just placing bets on when that bright and shining day arrives when racks up his third and final wellness program strike. Although, something also tells me TNA would sign him back in a heartbeat, which may be an even bigger disappointment than the WWE giving Ron Killings a second go-around.

Ah yes, I see the karma is blooming nicely this fall

While uber-douchebag OJ Simpson is used to making headlines for all manners of asinine behavior (murder?) not withstanding, one of my favorites involving the former Heisman winner, NFL star, and so-called actor was getting the boot from Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse in Louisville a while back around the time of the Kentucky Derby, this time around, the Juice got served up an ass whuppin, reportedly at the hands of his 39-year old daughter, Arnelle.

According to a report by the National Enquirer, who somehow have actually managed to gain some journalistic credibility in recent weeks, Simpson and girlfriend Christie Prody were allegedly attacked by Simpson's oldest daughter at their home in Florida last weekend, although Simpson did not want to press charges. WTF? How the hell does OJ fucking Simpson keep getting girlfriends? How the fuck does this happen? Seriously, I mean, what little self-esteem I have left is dwindling fast when THAT piece of shit can keep scoring trim, and I (hypothetically speaking, of course) couldn't get laid after feeding Paris Hilton a swimming pool full of booze. Fuck, I'm just a broke-ass loser, but I never (allegedly or otherwise) killed anybody and (ghost) wrote a "hypothetical" account of "if" I had done it. So how the hell does...aw, fuck it. I wouldn't like the answer even if anyone had an answer.

In his next starring role, Simpson goes on trial in Las Vegas September 8th, on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping, related to a bruhaha with a sports memorabilia dealer last year.

Coming up this week on Probably Uncalled For

Here's just a sample of what we're working on for tomorrow's all-new Probably Uncalled For, LIVE on Blog Talk Radio: more great indignities in death, commentary on that asinine story from Connecticut about the douchebags afraid of a kid with a 40 MPH fastball, some ramblings on whatever the hell it is going on in Denver, and a possible live report from our own ppdingles, off in Sin City (that's Las Vegas for the NCLB crowd), plus the usual TBA.

8:00pm East/5:00pm West

A continued disservice?

I read an excellent column in the Courier-Journal this morning entitled "Listen to Hillary, not the silence of Ellen James," by Pam Platt. In the column she discussed how the women's suffrage movement, that eventually gained women the right to vote, started long before the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

If women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony had been as easily discouraged as it seems some of Hillary's followers apparently are, we'd probably still be working toward gaining the right for women to vote.

As the column pointed out, Hillary's supporters can do as the women in The World According to Garp and cut their tongues out, i.e. vote for John McCain in pique, or they can continue to strive to see a woman elected President!

As I am sure everyone has heard- Rome was not built in a day. Women's equality has evolved over a long period of time, and is still doing so.

Don't blow it now, ladies!

Yarg. Taking damaged goods to new heights

Yep...the next Batman flick is really gonna suffer if this is the best they can do for a new Joker...

In Australia on a press junket for her latest crime against TV, Pam: Gaping Snatch on the Loose, Anderson showed that, in fact, the damage from the neck up may be just as bad as the Superfund site below the waist she occasionally manages to hide from the public.

I mean, seriously, WTF? Is she planning on playing Tammy Faye Baker Messner in a made-for-TV biopic or something? Must be a lot of near-sighted sheiks in the Middle East.

Get over it...

I know Hilary Clinton's followers would have loved to see her get the Democratic presidential nomination, but hey folks, it just wasn't to be. You should be proud that she made it as far as she did, further than any other woman has. Look at the 1984 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Geraldine Ferraro, was was turned to mince meat on the campaign trail.

Apparently, to be considered for the highest two elected offices in the land anymore, you have to be squeaky clean from birth. Hate to tell you all this, but any kind of clean is in short supply once most people get elected and gain any sort of power.

As for their claims of a "dream ticket" of Barack Obama-Hilary Clinton, that is just it- a dream. Most people are having a hard enough time considering Obama for the presidency. Put a woman into the mix as his running mate and I believe that is simply just too much change for many at one time.

So let's just get this election over with and deal with the fall out later...

Monday morning again, damnit!

It's Monday morning, and I'm sitting here just drinking a cup of coffee, smoking a cigarette, and contemplating the state of my world. Normal stuff usually, but got a jolt at the grocery store the previous Saturday.

This week, 5 lbs. of potatoes cost 20 cents more than 10 lbs. did a week ago! Onions that cost 99 cents for 3 lbs. a month ago, then went to $1.69 for 3 lbs., now runs $1.69 for two pounds! Everything keeps going up except for my income. One check a month to cover everything just barely scrapes by until the cycle repeats the following month.

But I forgot- according to one particular politician running for office, the economy is doing great! Guess if I had 7 to 11, or however many homes and a spouse worth $100 million, I'd think it was great, too.

Unfortunately, no spouse (rich or otherwise, thank God), one home and as stated, one check per month, I can tell you the economy is the pits.

I can hear it now, if I gave up smoking, how much money I would have, how much better health I would have, and for what? Next thing I would have to give up would be breathing. Last time I checked, the side effects for the cure to that are a little disconcerting!

Cause I'm Mom, Damnit! #5

I will just never understand people- some of the very same people who have complained long and loud about the Bush administration say they will vote for John McCain rather than Barack Obama! If they do this, they might as well have kept quiet the last eight years.

In case someone has forgotten to tell them, there is an alternative, vote for Bob Barr, Libertarian Party candidate for President!

I think it is pretty obvious that if John McCain is elected president, he will find a way to restore the draft. Can this country never learn from its mistakes? You would think that Vietnam and now the current quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan would have brought this point home once and for all!

I think all Americans know, even those who don't wish to admit it, that the Bush administration has thoroughly trashed America's image on the world stage.

Now we have the ongoing hoopla of a presidential campaign that has gone on seven steps past forever! I have heard the media make less ballyhoo over Oscar nominees than has been reported on the identity of the potential Democratic vice-presidential pick for Obama. Instead of covering the issues that really matter to the majority of Americans, they let one candidate slide on pretty well everything.

John McCain apparently believes that having been a prisoner of war for 5 1/2 years, 35 to 40 years ago, makes him the only one qualified to be President! I, although never a POW, served 6 years in the United States Army, 35 to 40 years ago, so am I equally qualified to be President?

It just gets more and more ludicrous day by day that a man whose yearly budget for his servants is more than most 20 Americans combined even make in a year, and this is a guy who isn't even sure of how many houses he has, doesn't know what kind of car he drives, and he is supposed to be able to lead this country out of quagmires both military and financial? I think not!

Coming up this week on Probably Uncalled For

Here's just a sample of what we're working on for tomorrow's all-new Probably Uncalled For, LIVE on Blog Talk Radio:

• How the switch to digital TV will affect prisoners...like they fucking need it
• The elderly woman found in the trunk of a car on a farm...fine police work, Lou
• Some whiny bitch unfamiliar with the rules of escaping from prison
• Gambling
• Boobies (and not the ones the Disney people are...ugh, never mind...)
• Bullfighting and with our Presidential election coming up, even more bullshit you just won't believe

8:00 pm East/5:00 pm West

Ladies and gentlemen...The Return of the BAMF...

"Bullfighting is like sex: it’s good watching it, but it’s better doing it.” - Frank Evans, 66 year-old matador de toros

And it is with that I present to you Frank Evans, of Salford, England, the only British native ever to receive the formal title of “matador de toros”. That's bullfighter to the Spanish-impaired. After a knee injury forced his retirement in August 2005, the crowd carried Evans, known as El Inglés, from the bullring on their shoulders, in the only show of respect befitting a 40 year career. Yeah, you read that right. Forty years as a bullfighter. “It was a marvellous send-off, but deep down I didn’t want to go. I should have simply stopped and waited for the knee surgery instead of retiring,” Evans told Britain's The Times, in a recent interview.

So Evans, like so many other retired athletes, hit the comeback trail. But as he was getting his surgically repaired knee back into shape, Evans hit a snag. Doctors found a blockage and a valve leak in his heart, requiring quadruple bypass surgery. Not to be deterred, even by that, Evans resumed working out in January in his native England.

Over this last weekend, as Villa-nueva de la Concepción's town fiesta was winding down, El Inglés returned to reclaim his glory, despite his knee trouble, heart trouble, and protestations from friends, family, and doctors. And reclaim it he did in his first fight in three years, winning two ears from a black two-year old bull after parking his sword, to the hilt, in the neck of the bull, earning the applause and waving white handkerchiefs of the crowd. “This confirms what I’ve been telling all those doubters, that I’m fit enough to do this,” Evans later commented.

Yeah, so get the fuck off his lawn, haters.

This was not a one-shot comeback fight for charity. Evans is in the process of setting up a professional fight this fall, as well as trying to get fights arranged in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, so he can say he has fought in every country that kills bulls in the ring.

Mr Evans understands that his age may be a bit of a disadvantage, but that being an active bullfighter is all that matters. “It doesn’t matter if you accomplish your goals, but you need to make the effort.”

And when you can make the effort, with balls apparently that big, there shouldn't be anybody or anything under the sun standing in your way, whether it be friend, family, cardiologist, or 1,500 pounds of pissed-off bull. Salute, El Inglés. Salute.

Did the guy get shotgun on the ride back?

Wow, Kentucky has really outdone themselves this time, with a sheriff traveling 4100 miles, round trip, to extradite the wrong man! Of course, the trip was not a complete waste, as the sheriff got in a little sightseeing along the way, including Buck Owens' Crystal Palace and a souvenir t-shirt. Forty-one hundred miles, with gas hovering near, at, or over $4 a gallon, depending on the geography? As I said...wow.

All they have been talking about in the news, as far as the Commonwealth of Kentucky is concerned, is the cash crunch- cutting back on funding for matters like education and other much-needed agencies, yet this miscarriage of justice can happen, with apparently no repercussions for the said sheriff or the higher-ups that signed off on the excursion. Just business as usual, I imagine.

Experience? No, seriously, what else you got?

I keep hearing on the news and from the talking heads that Sen. Barack Obama is too young and inexperienced to be president. Well, I'm here to tell you that is GW was old enough and experienced enough to create the quagmire he has in the last eight years, maybe that is what we need- young and inexperienced.

From what I have read, the job of president is pretty well on-the-job training! As former President Bill Clinton has said, he learned a lot about being president his first year in office.

So really what the election boils down to is who you dislike the least.

They gots themselves some serious issues over at Disney

Again, the marketing folks at Disney are displaying behavior I believe they called "short-eyed" in prison once upon a time. A few months or so back, I was marveling at the Mouse company's marketing of rub-on tramp stamps for wee tots, available through vending machines at Toys R Us locations, but now, the bar has been raised, or more appropriately, lowered to depths not previously imagined outside the Neverland Ranch.

In a marketing gimmick for the latest High School Musical to be inflicted upon us, clothing items featuring crap from the movie are being peddled at fast as they can crank them out of third world sweatshops. No big surprise there. Hell, even I have merchandising, including t-shirts, and yes, at one point, thong underwear with a previous website URL, with a joke about how you think about it (the now-defunct website, not the contents of the thong) every few seconds.

Not to be outdone, however, the folks at Disney approved a design for underwear aimed at the under 10 crowd. On the front, the words "Dive In" appear.

WTF? No, seriously, maybe more so than in any other column I have included those 3 letters, what in the name of bluest fuck on a china plate?

Dive In? That would be hot at oh, say, amateur night at PT's Showclub, but most decidedly NOT on anyone under the age of 18. I mean, in today's cultural and moral climate, you have enough wondering to do about the safety of kids, even as mainstream entertainment exhorts them to grow up faster by the minute, all in the name of "family entertainment," but this? This is waving a red flag at the bull of child molestation. This is one of the most crass, exploitative, asinine, creepy motherfucking things I have ever seen.

Understandably, parents are a little miffed over this. And it's not like Disney couldn't see at least the tip of the iceberg here. The way the underwear is packaged, you won't see the phrase until you have bought them (no doubt at the high-pitched plea of one of your kids), get them home, and open the packaging. I wonder how many single dads are a fixin to lose joint custody or wind up in "supervised visits" over this, a simple undergarment purchase.

"Dive In" refers to a scene in where kids dive into a pool. Okay. Is that the message Disney is aiming for? "High school's goin be great, kids. Book learning, friendship, diving into pools in your underwear...stay in school!?" A yeshole for Asda, the company that makes the underwear, said Disney approved the design, going on to say, "It was completely innocent and certainly not meant to cause any offense to customers, however we will now consider our next steps in relation to the small number of items remaining on sale."

Yes. Completely innocent. Bullshit. The only person I think should own these is Vanessa Hudgens, the remarkably ungroomed star of the franchise (check infamous web pics for more on that), cause once that gravy train derails, you're gonna need those on to score a role in a Sci-Fi Channel made-for-TV and DVD disasters, or the third bikini chick from the left at a boat show. That is, if the casting director has no fear and a machete...

Cause I'm Mom, Damnit #4

So, the Courier-Journal is preparing to lay off 15 people, huh? Must have been 15 people in the press room, because I was straight ripped off this morning. No, I repeat, NO entertainment section, with the comics and most importantly to me, the puzzles. Also, no classified ads, which contain a crossword as well. Guess I'll just twiddle my thumbs all day!

Just sitting here relaxing. Just got the dishes done, and no puzzles to occupy my brain. So, with my mind wandering, it occurred to me how amazing it is how many thing a finicky person, such as myself, feels needs to be cleaned by hand. Thinking about laundry to be done, house to clean, etc. As any woman knows, it's never ending.

The only way to get out of the rut is to have a maid, or cleaning woman to do it. Like that's going to happen on most people's budgets- most people with the ever escalating prices are doing good to have anything to fix to mess up said dishes in the first place. If I had Samantha's nose from Bewitched (the TV series, not the hot mess with Will Ferrell), it would be sadly overworked.

If you are like me, then you keep up on current events, especially in this election year. There are three publications that I can highly recommend to do this with, and they are U.S. News and World Report, The Nation, and Harper's. They give in depth coverage of the issues that matter to most people (or at least should), unlike most newspapers anymore, which only rehash, ur, report on what they want to, or bury it anywhere from the third page on.

Of course, I'm also a liberal, so any conservatives or people tending to lean that way are more than welcome to disregard my recommendations, which they undoubtedly will.

When did the system fail? Oh right.....

So here I am. A freshman in high school. Sitting in math class when I hear the news. Bush won. Shit. Eight years later and we’re more screwed than we have been in awhile. Oil dependant and broke as Eric’s couch. That poor, poor couch…but I’m getting sidetracked. Damn ADD. I read something the other day that made me stop and wonder. The new president is coming into office and inheriting a $9,539,604,941,464.24 dollar deficit.. That’s a shit load of money.

It has continued to increase an average of $1.74 billion per day since September 28, 2007… which means if you were to split that evenly to every single American we each owe $31,333.61 apiece. Give or take. Do you accept money orders? HOW DID WE GET THAT MUCH IN THE HOLE!!!!!!! Oh yeah. That pesky little war. Forgot about that one! Jesus Christ people..With gas at almost $4 bucks a gallon and the price of everything going up daily, how can we catch up? How do we solve a deficit of that much. It’s unimaginable.

Can you grasp that? That much money would fill the Superdome! Someone call FEMA… our system has failed as a whole. How did a once amazing country get to this point? We had a surplus of cash in 2000. And after eight years of Elmer Fudd running the show, were screwed. We have more IOU’s out in the world than a crack head on the first of the month. I don’t mean to sound so anti-everything here but this shit falls back on you and me. We feel this debt as much as anyone. They raise prices yet keep wages the same in order to try and pull us out of it..

And it’s not working. I understand why we went to Afghanistan. But when did we become the world police force? It’s retarded. I was chatting online the other day to someone on Facebook and when they found out I was American they started asking why I feel like I’m superior to everyone else because I’m American? And I had no answer. I don’t feel like I’m superior to anyone because of my nationality. That question shocked and kinda hurt me. I’ve been reading about Americans traveling abroad and being attacked because they have American flags on their bags or shirts. Some people have resorted to putting English or Canadian flags on their items to avoid being jumped.

What the hell? I was considering taking a trip out of the states with a friend to Europe but now…not so much. I’m lost on this one. When did we fall into such disfavor? When did all Americans become evil in the eyes of the world?

Oh. That’s right. When we became the drunken douschebag at the party who starts shit for no reason or jumps into problems that aren’t his. You know what happens to that guy? He sobers up one day and figures out that no one likes him, he should have given up on being ‘cool’ after his last birthday and that he’s all alone. And I hate to see that happening to us.

The system has failed. Totally and utterly failed. And it’s up to us to fix it. ALL of us. So the time is coming for the ones who can help. And come hell or high water we’ll try to pull this country out of its nosedive. Or die trying..

Probably Uncalled For Episode 47 Wrap-up

So, according to the Migration Policy Institute, Los Angeles is on the verge of becoming a "Third World city," is it? Hmmm. That actually kind of makes sense in a lot of ways. Many Third World countries have booming movie industries, thriving sex trades, and rampant, bizarre celebrity worship. You know...people like Michael Jackson. Yes, sir...that sounds an awful lot like Los Angeles, and as a bonus, L.A. is bigger than a lot of Third World countries, so if anything..."honorary" status?...

Said it on the show, and it bears repeating here in print- Royal Caribbean International, and its Chief Executive, Adam Goldstein, are douchebags of the highest caliber. Stranding a family of five in a foreign country with no passports, and in just their fucking pajamas, because their 7-month-old daughter had a cold? Adam Goldstein, the ship's so-called captain, and the ship's so-called doctor oughta to be made to take a round-trip from Miami to Havana and back in their pajamas on a fucking raft.

If you should happen to agree with us, and want to share your displeasure:

Royal Caribbean International

attn: extreme douchebag Adam Goldstein

1050 Caribbean Way

Miami, Florida 33132-2096

non-media-related question line - Corporate HQ - (305) 539-6000

or you can email Lyan Sierra-Caro - Acct Exec., Corporate Communications

Send pictures of letters, envelopes, or emails addressed to "extreme douchebag" Adam Goldstein, and we'll post them here on ProbablyUncalledFor.com in a follow-up post.

There is simply no defensible reason at all...ever...period...for not even having enough food to feed our troops in Iraq. For all the dozens...maybe hundreds...likely thousands of reasons this bullshit quagmire is probably set to stay for another twenty years, this one is particularly shameful. I'm not sure I'd rather commit suicide than starve to death, and hopefully, I'll never get the chance to find out, even in the name of whatever the hell the Bush administration wants to spin as "patriotism" this week. War is hell, and especially so when the devil in the detail is the jerk-off solely responsible for getting us into this hot mess in the first fucking place.

When it comes down to Red Bull or Mamajuana Energy, WWE wrestler John "Bradshaw" Layfield's energy drink product, I'm going to have to go with JBL on this one. Not that I do not enjoy a Red Bull and Jack from time to time, but I hold firm to a body count principle, and right now, Red Bull is far enough in the lead (and Mamajuana Energy has no trial of dead leading to their doors) to make it hard not to declare Layfield the winner here.

Japanese whiskey? The best in the world? I'm going to remain skeptical for the time being...I do wonder, however, if all the flags in Scotland flew at half-mast when the awards were announced. At any rate, kudos to Suntory Hibiki, Yoichi chief blender Tetsuyi Hisamitsu for their Yoichi 20 years old, the best whiskey in the world.

Phone rape? Shut the fuck up with that noise? If I talk someone over the phone into giving themselves a black eye, am I guilty of assault? Hardly. Must be a great and ponderous dumbass population in Tunisia. For fuck's sake, never even knew Tunisia had a cell phone tower...

What do you get the guy who has it all? How about a brass-knuckled bagslap if he spends $300,000 on a watch that simply tells him whether or not it is day or night? Magnificently needless extravagance, something the geniuses at Romain Jerome should be proud of.

Remember everybody, starting Wednesday, May 21, 2008, Probably Uncalled For will being airing at its new night and time - Wednesdays 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific! Back in Prime Time, baby!!!

Tonight, on an all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For

In tonight's special abbreviated Monday night episode, we'll be veering straight from ppdingles' Inside the Squared Circle broadcast to tear into some absolute cold-hearted shit involving Royal Carribbean Cruise Lines, more incredible stupidity from the U.S. government regarding the military, energy drink madness, phone sex gone awry, the most expensive piece of crap they are callin' a watch ever, the weekend box office, you know...things and stuff and topics and such...

Own A Piece Of Lockdown PPV History

If you saw the post-Lockdown edition of TNA Today, you know Don West couldn't wait to take a pair of bolt-cutters to the Six Sides of Steel!

According to Don, he's nearly finalized his huge Lockdown commemorative special, which will feature actual pieces of the steel cage that Samoa Joe won the World Title in!

Not only that, but according to sources Don actually has possession of Joe's towel from the Pay-Per-View as well.

Don is promising to unveil the Lockdown special in coming weeks...and he promises it will definitely be one of the coolest commemoratives ever!

ppdingles question of the week was this...

Do you think Randy Orton will walk out of Backlash still WWE Champion?

My answer is yes I do. He has overcame the biggest odds that were against him at Wrestlemania 24 and I think he can do it once again. Of course you will have to tune in this coming Monday night to see if I am right.


This week in Wrestling History is now a Blog exclusive!!!!! With more History!
I will still be covering a few history moments but the rest will be in a blog each week and this weeks blog is already up for you to enjoy and relive those wrestling memories.

The official Parent of the year award is underway and here are the two first nominees...

Cutting-Edge Parenting: Sheriff's deputies in the Orlando area were on the lookout in March for two women who, according to surveillance video from the Magical Car Wash, had pulled into a stall and deposited coins but then proceeded only to scold and then pressure-wash a small child.

Aron Pritchard, 27, was convicted of child endangerment in March in Hutchinson, Kan., after a jury declined to accept his explanation for his girlfriend's kids, age 2 and 3, being burned in a hot clothes dryer. Pritchard said he was just trying to show them they could have fun without necessarily spending money.

Throughout 2008 I will be keeping track of idiots like these and select a winner later this year. This should be fun.

Well that's it for this week, hope to see you all this coming Monday night for an all new episode and remember that this Monday is the Free Rein Media SUPER SHOW. Inside the Squared Circle at 7pm Eastern and then at 8pm Eastern is an all new episode of Probably Uncalled For.

See you at ringside!

tonight, on an all-new Probably Uncalled For

Join us on the show tonight, as Dr. Tom and ppdingles will be discussifyin' some seat belt laws (in Iraq?!?), truck nutz, water torture (oddly enough, in Wisconsin, not Iraq), motorcycles, out of control kids, James Bond, Adolph Hitler making a comeback in a comedy? (does Mel Gibson know about this?), the impending satellite radio monopoly, the weekend box office, a little King of the Ring analysis from last night's Monday Night Raw, and all other manners of sick TBA.

Coming up tonight on an all-new Probably Uncalled For live broadcast

Come join Dr. Tom and ppdingles tonight on an all-new Probably Uncalled For, as they will delve into new and excitingly dumbass gun laws, blind people and hybrid cars, a great excuse for really dumbass behavior from the Ohio State Police, immigration, video games, suicide, the weekend box office, tons of stupid celebrity news, and even pirates...pirates!...how can you say no? See? You can't. 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific. Live. Catch you there...

a preview of Tuesday night's all-new Probably Uncalled For live broadcast

Here's a glimpse of what we're working on for this Tuesday's all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For...the sudden need of Congress to protect the blind from the scourge of hybrid vehicles (wasn't aware there were that many blind folk buying or -gulp!- driving hybrids...), new gun laws that just don't seem to make any sense (we're pro-gun here, and even we question the logic of these bills...), government-as-usual with some TSA and immigration news, and a veritable all-star celebricraptastic battle royal, with Perez Hilton, Artie Lange, Vanilla Ice scoring his first hit (allegedly) in years, and to throw a red-ass beatdown on all of them, and maybe even the weekend box office, Chuck Norris. (admit it, we had you at Chuck Norris, didn't we?)

Catch you all there. Live. Tuesday night 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific. Phones and chat room open the duration of the show, so dont' be shy (God knows you haven't been lately), or be shy, what the hell ever...just log on to the show Chuck Norris would probably knock out with a mere disdainful glance, the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Came in Bread Form- Probably Uncalled For!!!

Tonight, on an all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For

Come join Dr. Thomas Keister on the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Came in Bread Form live tonight, as he'll be ranting away with some police dog mayhem, zombies...possibly Mormon zombies, witch doctors, Papa Smurf, Mr T., it's like Hallowfreakinween in April, baby!!! Just for a little normalcy (in so far as it relates to this show), the good Doctor will also have your weekend box office as well as a little somethin-somethin regarding the impending satellite radio monopoly (all here on good ole FREE Internet radio!!!)...LIVE 7pm Eastern tonight, it's bigger than Sirius, a damn sight better than XM, it's Probably Uncalled For!!!

Another great advance in the war on drugs

We travel to California for this one, where the United States Forest Service has coughed up $200,000 of taxpayer monies to buy a pair of unmanned "drones" to fly over national forests to aid in the battle against Mexican cartels that have been setting up shop on the Forest Service's turf.

The drone wars...began they have...

The contraptions will help identify marijuana crops and provide risk assessment to law enforcement agencies before raids are made. The $100k drones feature one equipped with thermal cameras for night flight.

Not that I'm overly thrilled over this news, hearing of yet another waste piled on to the drug war's perpetually running tab, but it is good to see the Forest Service man up a bit. Tired of just hearing about them warn bears about stealing picnic baskets or stumble over the occasional serial killer. Oh yeah, and guarding against forest fires...there's that, too.

Can't wait to hear the story, however, where two enterprising sorts take out one, or both, of the drones. Maybe not in a clever, ice planet Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back-way, but you know what I'm saying.

Man...first we mentioned the possible beginning of the Sith-Jedi wars (in a physical sense) in England, where a guy in a Darth Vader helmet (presumably a Sith) attacked the founder of Britain's Jedi Church...and now, the drones are being deployed...fuck, man..somebody best be getting off their asses and making this lightsaber thing a reality...

More great moments in optimism

Part one...You gotta feel bad for Denise Crews, down in MacClenny, Florida. First, she loses her husband, then, some asshat starts stealing the flowers from her husband's grave! Aw, WTF, man?! What's the matter pal, your skank girlfriend no longer turned on by the panty roses you've been dropping three bucks on here and there?

Fed up, and rightfully so, Crews went to the extent of installing a hidden motion-sensitive camera to try and catch the dickhead at work. Nice try, Mrs. Crews, but damned if he didn't take the fucking camera, too!

Well, crap. Some people have identified an older model pickup parked near the grave, and First Coast Crime Stoppers is taking tips on leads. Here's to hoping they find whoever is doing this asinine shit. In a perfect world, Mrs. Crews, they'd let you smash the jerk's hands with the business end of a Louisville Slugger...

Part two...Then again, I suppose some optimism is more altruistic than others. Over in Washington, D.C., a new plan is being tweaked slightly over concerns that people's rights may be abused. The program? Allowing people to call and schedule an appointment for the police to come and check the house for illegal firearms. The program grants amnesty from firearm possession charges, but not for any crimes committed with the gun.

And yet, somehow, people aren't flooding the D.C. police stations with calls to get a gun search booked? I mean, it's not exactly like a radon check or something..."Yes sir, we just moved into our home, and we were wondering if you could swing through and check for any wayward illegal firearms. We're pretty sure nothing was done with them, but we'd like you to come and get them, just in case." I wanna hear the tape of that conversation.

I can't fault them for trying new tactics in the war on crimes, but if they could only figure out some options that seem a little more realistic...

Every dog has it day...behind the wheel

You know how it is...sometimes, collateral damage just happens. Unfortunate, but true. Take for example Mary Stone, of Ogden, Utah. There she was, just trying to check her mail one day, when all of a sudden...BAM!!! Ran the fuck over by a police dog right in front of her mailbox. Stone suffered a broken pelvis as a result of the accident, and recently settled out a claim with the city.

At first glance, you may find yourself thinking "holy damn, how big was the freakin' dog?," but rest assured there are no freakishly large police dogs layin down the law in Ogden, Utah...at least for now. Ranger, a German shepherd not previously identified as a loose cannon, jumped into the front seat of his handler's Ford truck, managing to knock it into gear. Shortly thereafter was when he met Ms. Stone in the awkward fashion one could expect when the dog's driving a truck.

Little in the way of comment was provided by the city of Ogden or its police chief. Neither the Ogden K-9 officer or Ranger had much they were willing to share, but Stone had a parting shot as she walked away from the accident with $300,000 (as opposed to the $580,000 she was asking for): "I would like to get more...if my car had hit a cop, I would be in jail."

Fair enough. On the other hand, it was a human being that ran you over, was it? I'm sure if your dog ran down a police officer in the same set of circumstances, it would most likely be chalked up as an unfortunate, maybe freakish accident...nothing more. Would you perhaps be happier if the Ogden Police Department busted Ranger to desk duty instead?

That could be interesting, though. Can't wait for the headline Dog collates Man; Police Review Board convened

Tonight, on an all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For...

Come join Dr. Thomas Keister and ppdingles on The Smartest Damn Thing You'll Hear All Week, as they'll be pontificating on some MMA nonsense in Missouri, more stupid crap in the Florida schools, turmoil in Mexico, and the Sith Wars...began they have in Great Britain?...all this, the weekend box office report, some WrestleMania 24, and all the usual TBA you need and crave to get ya over that humpday!

Keister '08 Rocks the Hypnotoad!!!

That's right...Thomas Keister for President 2008 continues to build momentum on U4Prez.com...just after 11PM, we noticed Tom had made it to #28 on the Top 100 Independent candidates, and #54 on the Top 100 overall candidates, moving up seven spots in the Independent rankings, and skyrocketing up from 81st place in the overall rankings. Tom's candidate score also continues to climb, from 6.5836 to 6.7892 (out of ten), and this was in just 24 hours!



But that's not even the best part...check it out...we're beating the Hypnotoad, who is currently positioned at 30th in the Independents...we're beating the Hypnotoad!!!

Running-mate Darrell Mays has seen impressive numbers as well since entering the fray, entering the Top 100 Independent candidates at #52.

Keister/Mays '08 #1: Finally, the Dark Horse is out of the gate...

Wow...what can I say? Things are going better than I would have expected thus far, having just declared my virtual campaign for the Presidency on St. Patrick's Day.

In a mere nine days, I have risen to #35 in the Top 100 Independent candidates, #83 in the Top 100 overall candidates, with a score of 6.5836 (of 10). We've picked up a few supporters here and there, and I feel that so far, I have advanced a strong and viable platform in comparison to or against the stances of my opponents, Independent, Democratic, or Republican.

In the upcoming weeks, I will be adding more to my platform, addressing issues such as reducing the national debt, education, foreign affairs, our military, and leveling the playing field in the electoral process.

In the mean time, I thank you for your support, and I encourage you, if you haven't, to check out u4Prez.com

And until next time, remember...unless you get involved in the process, you have no right to bitch about the process.
