Your Afro Is The Bomb

So a Dallas woman had her afro searched recently by the TSA for a bomb and now she's upset about it. I don't know why she's upset - as you can see in the picture on the left, there's clearly a bomb in there. Click the link for an interview with Isis Brantley about her bomb afro.

A car salesman in Chicago decided to wear a Packers tie to work before last year's NFC Championship game against the hometown Chicago Bears. Why did he do it? To honor his grandmother who was a Packers fan and died a few days before the game. What happened to him? He was fired. Fast forward to today, and he's one of the top salesman at a competing local dealer. Nice work, John Stone. I'm not a Browns fan, but if Pat ever wore his Browns tie around the Bro Council office I wouldn't fire him. I would just laugh at him for being a Browns fan. That's painful enough. Link: Yahoo

In other news; Elvis announces that he's dead, and newspapers around the world are announcing that the Japanese have surrendered and World War II is over. So I looked it up and they apparently have released 4 albums in the past 10 years, and in 2007 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not too bad for an irrelevant band! Way to last way past your prime R.E.M. - at least Brett Favre almost made it to the Super Bowl in his next to last year. Link: R.E.M Calls It Quits (via Forbes)

The iPhone 5 is supposed to launch on October 4th. If you want more information you can Google it. There are literally over 543 million results for the iPhone 5. Just release it, Apple. Stop trying to be cool.

The West Virginia police are apparently cracking down on the second greatest tradition in West Virginia history, couch burning after WVU games. This weekend marks a huge game against LSU, so what are the West Virginianites going to do? Learn how to read a map, and then follow said map in order to know where they can and can not burn couches of course. The nice people over at Deadspin put together a handy map of the campus safe zones for burning so that WVU students can download and learn their rights. Now, get cracking in your cartography classes and download away. Hopefully a GPS version will follow soon. Link: Maps Of Couch Burning Locations

  We all love pranks, and that includes consequences sometimes - but jail time? That's not actually the most shocking part of this article though. The most shocking part is that Fox Valley Technical College actually has dorms! From their website it shows that FVTC (that's the abbreviation for the school, just like WVU, or NYU, or USC - they're that big) provides College education for high-demand careers. 200+ associate degree, technical diploma, and certificate programs...plus seminars & customized training for business. Really? They have dorms? Thank you Wisconsin for changing my perception of technical colleges... Read More

In July, we were blessed with new neighbors across the street. I knew instantly that this was going to be an adventure...multiple generations living in the same house, a pregnant teenager, her boyfriend, and a guy that drives up in a PT Cruiser who is so big he can't get out of his car.  When he comes to visit, he lays on the horn until someone from the family comes out and talks to him from the porch. Just a few signs that alerted me that these people couldn't move out fast enough. It was the week of the 4th of July. In an attempt to endear themselves to the neighborhood, they set off fireworks every night for five straight nights - at... Read More
