Two geniuses in Tennessee have been arrested with vandalism and felony reckless endangerment charges for throwing bricks through a window at a McDonalds because their hamburgers didn't have enough onions on it. Ya. In the middle of a night of boozing the two stumbled into McDonalds and grabbed a couple cheeseburgers. After being "cussed" out by the manager they retreated, continued drinking and became more and more pissed off about the cheeseburger malfunction. So, at about three AM, they stumble back and launch a brick through the front window, oh and throw what was called "a large piece of concrete" through the drive through window. One of the suspects was arrested at home, while the other one was captured face first in the pavement, too drunk to pick himself up (for real) and incurred a bonus charge of public intoxication. I'm loving it!

Newt Gingrich not only failed in his bid for the Republican candidacy but he racked up $4.8 million in campaign debt. Expenditures include $1 million to a private airline company, $466,370 for security, $181,977 for public relations consulting and $165,000 in web advertising. It wasn't reported how much was spent on ham sandwiches and Yoohoo. Fortunately, Newt was left with about $800,000 cash left over after his failed bid.

Sad story out of El Paso about a 67 year old gentleman who died of a heart attack after getting several lap dances at the Red Parrot strip club. Robert Gene White was just hanging out having some drinks, checking out some boobs then after taking in a bunch of lap dances and money came into question he became unresponsive. Employees tried, unsuccessfully, to perform CPR on the man. Not sure what they're charging for lap dances these days but it's going to give you a heart attack there's another reason not to go to them, besides the stench of sweat and shame.

One of the earliest YouTube sensations was that SNL Digital Short "Lazy Sunday" now has a sequel. Lazy Sunday 2 was shown on SNL's season finale this weekend. Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg's new adventure follows them on their trek to see Sister Act: The musical. While not as immediately hilarious as the first one, it was still quite good, and it rustled up some good memories of the day you discovered the first one and for me, just discovering what YouTube was. Saturday night's finale was also the last show for Kristen Wiig, who has been one of the show's strongest players since November 2005. The show may have also been the last for Jason Sudeikis as well as Samberg who have both been making many a movie over the last few years, with Samberg opening a movie next week with another SNL alum, Adam Sandler. Here's "Lazy Sunday 2"

There is four genres of movies these days. At least at the big movie theatres: remakes, 3D, superhero movies and biopics (and new this week the adaptation of a board game - Battleship? How could that not suck?). Point is, a new biopic about the life of Steve Jobs is coming soon. Aaron Sorkin is writing the screenplay and this will also be his directing debut. Sorkin's other screenwriting works include The Social Network, Moneyball, A Few Good Men and TV's West Wing. Sorkin knew Jobs personally and wrote a piece on him shortly after his death for the Daily News. Since terrible things come in twos (or is it threes? whatever) there is an independent film about Jobs that begins filming this month starring Ashton Kutcher which will soon be in discount DVD bins at gas stations and truck stops all over the country.

USA Today, always breaking the big stories, has released the list of the 15 craziest potato chip flavours from around the world. I'll just link the article since every one of these is noteworthy (and mostly all disgusting). The Prawn (or shrimp) Cocktail 'crisps' from England sound about the worse despite being marketed as "a crisp with a little bit of class." Other salty gems on the list include Korea's Octopus chip, Australia's Hot Dog chip, and the Seaweed Pringles (all over Asia) are even green colour presumably to make people think they are healthy. Not to mention the Teriyaki Mayonnaise Doritos (limited edition!) in Japan. Original Article

It's almost June and that means we are getting down to wearing shorts every day, and we're getting down to the nitty-gritty in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The semis have had some great story lines, goaltending stealing the show in the West and the coaches are getting the headlines in the East. You have got to love (or hate) John Tortorella. Torts has no filter whatsoever so he is either is at a ten or a zero - so he doesn't go to a ten (see the "Next Question" press conference after game 2). Here's some great moments with Torts and my favourite manager/coach freakout of all time, the Baltimore Orioles legend, tiny Earl Weaver.. Oh, so there's no beeps be mindful of the language!
