New Sheriff In Town

News, Photo No Comments »

Ok peeps; make way for the new sheriff in town. The unofficial world record holder at 134 pounds is appropriately named the Absolutely Ridiculous Burger. The gut bomb, err, burger is made of beef, bacon, cheese and stacked on a lightweight 50 pound bun.

Who is responsible for this beast? Mallie’s Sport Bar and Grill hailing from Detroit, Michigan. I do not about you, but just looking at this picture makes me feel woozy. As much as I love burgers, I think I will pass. If you want one, it will cost you $350. 24 hour notice required!

Movie, News 1 Comment »

I was curious to see if my prediction about the Alvin & the Chipmunks movie was correct. I predicted that 20th Century-Fox would leave the movie in theaters until it broke the $200M mark and then rush it to DVD.

Well, I was wrong. 20th Century-Fox is milking all it can from the movie. To date, the movie has grossed an outrageous $210,108,277. This places the movie at number #74 for all-time US movies. Showing at a theater near you.

Who is under your bed today?

News, Weird 1 Comment »

Okay, people are crazy and stupid! I just read that a couple in North Carolina were lying in bed, when they heard rumbling underneath the bed. The woman has a dog; could it be her dog underneath the bed? Hell no!

When she looked underneath her bed, she saw someone staring back at her. Boogie Man is REAL!! Nope, it was not the boogie man. Apparently, the man under her bed broke into her apartment hoping to see her naked.

The good news is the woman’s boyfriend got to smack down on the loser before the police arrived at the apartment. Where is Zed? I want to see Zed beat this loser with the heel of his shoe!

Am I the only one shocked here? I thought the AOL dial up service was DEAD years ago, but I just read an article that states AOL has 9.3 million paid subscribers. Pinch me! I jumped on the broadband band wagon in 2000 and have never looked back.

News flash! AOL is the world’s largest Slowsky community … NICE!

Vista SLOWER with SP 1?

News, Rant No Comments »

Microsoft released SP 1 a couple of days ago, big DEAL! Certainly not big news, but I found several blogs reporting that Vista runs slower with SP 1 applied … WTF! Nice job Micro$oft.

I am going out on a limb here, but I think the general consensus in the community is Vista is a P.O.S. XP SP 3 rocks the house, Vista SP 1 burns down the house! Vista SUCKS! Save XP!
