New CD releases for December 21st

It seems that good music has started it's Christmas vacation already, leaving a big gaping hole for the remainder of the music industry to scramble for the vacant top spot. To use a Christmas analogy, there ain't nothin' left on this turkey but dark meat, gristle and bones.
Yeah, I said Christmas. Not Festive Season, not Holidays... CHRISTMAS.
We make an effort to accommodate your beliefs and religions, so you can sure as hell stop trying to make Christmas more politically correct.

Dear Tina - Bored In The Bedroom

Dear Tina,
my girlfriend is rich and wants to get married. The trouble is, she wants sex all the time and I am already bored with her. Sure, there's stuff we haven't tried yet (pegging, scat, etc) but my real problem is that my greatest turn-on sexually is being with someone I’ve never had sex with before. I always get bored in LTRs after a couple months, and I’m already going through the motions and faking orgasms and enjoying porn behind her back. also, her vaginal secretions smell like burning tires and she wipes her ass incompletely. what should i do?

sincerely, bored in the bedroom

Dear Tina - Helping Her Peers

Dear Tina,
I have a regular advice column on a popular blog (not as popular as yours) and like you, I am reliant on people sending in questions for me to offer advice. How do you keep a constant flow of topics and questions in order to maintain your column?

Sincerely, George Travis (DearLibby@phoenixdailynews.com)

New CD releases for December 7th

Finally a week of new releases with no country music. I had to dig out 2 soundtrack CD's and revive a cold dead crooner, but no country. Yeehaw!

Top Ten Guitar Solos

The guitar solo is a vital part of the rock band format. It serves a dual purpose, allowing for the lead singer to rest his larynx and most importantly, to restore balance in the battle of the egos within the band.

New CD releases for November 22nd

It was a real struggle to get to seven worthy releases this week. After all, this is Thanksgiving week and most people are out buying turkeys. Having read through the list of new releases I now understand the true meaning of irony. Enjoy.

NFL rule on Favre's penis

For those who are not aware that Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is being investigated by the NFL for allegedly sending a picture of his penis via text message to NY Jets employee Jenn Sterger - you are now.
Brett Favre's Penis
Not this kind of rule ! ! - y'all have dirty minds
The NFL have heard all the evidence and have issued the following statement:-

WTF? - Captcha

You have probably seen them and used them but did you know what they are called? Those distorted words that you have to decipher to prove you are a real human and not some computer operated site crawler or 'bot'.

New CD Releases for November 16th

A slightly different and less labor intensive format for this week. More new CDs and no more track listings.

WTF? - Technology Addiction Extremes

Many of us joke about being addicted to technology. "Oh, I would be so lost without my Blackberry", "It feels like I am married to my iPhone", but technology addiction is much more common and serious than most people realize.

NETFLIX SAYS - Johnny Depp reteams with director Tim Burton for this big-screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, earning an Oscar nod as vengeful Sweeney Todd, who becomes a deranged murderer after being falsely imprisoned by a sinister judge (Alan Rickman).

Improvements to NASCAR for 2011

Everybody knows that NASCAR is about as exciting as watching 43 cars drive round in circles for 6 hours, waiting for some guy on a stepladder to wave a checkered flag to end the misery and declare a winner.

New CD Releases for November 9th

Another week, another pointless list of the new CD releases. I know nobody buys CDs anymore, it's all .mp3 or iTunes where you can download a single song instead of a whole album. Personally, I would rather enjoy the music the way the artist meant it to be enjoyed, and not disjointed in a cut rate, low quality format.

WTF? - Ricky Martin is Gay?

Thanks to Oprah! and The View and some serious investigative journalism, the truth about Ricky Martin and his sexual proclivities is out. And so is he.

Who is the true King? Elvis vs Michael Jackson

For years the argument has raged between generations as to who is the true king, Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson. Slap the Penguin finally closes that discussion like a slamming door.

We will look at each singer's track record, compare and contrast their styles and rate their achievements in their own genre against their peers.

We have taken subjectivity and guesswork out of the equation and put these two legends head to head in a one of it's kind Deadliest Warrior Deathmatch.

WTF? - Brett Favre's Green Bay Pecker

I decided to wait a while before posting my thoughts about the whole Brett Favre situation. By situation I mean his lacklustre performance so far this season for the Vikings, his constant battle with old age injury and the lewd text messages including images of his penis, allegedly sent to Jenn Sterger.

A cool photo montage to graphically represent the story highlights.

WTF? - The New Penny

Have you seen the new penny yet? I found one in my change yesterday and had to double check that I had not been given a foreign coin. Well, it had Honest Abe on the front and I know he won't lie to me, but I was quite taken aback by the flip-side/posterior/reverse/tail of said currency unit.

Dora the Explorer's real father is A-Rod

Almost every parent in the United States knows the diminutive explorer, Dora. The cute little girl who helps our children learn with the assistance of her talking monkey friend, Boots and a magical backpack, imaginatively named Backpack. But within Dora's history is a darker secret that she herself is just coming to terms with. For years, we as innocent voyeurs of Dora's adventures had assumed that the man she calls 'Papi' is her father. In a shocking revelation we have found this to be untrue.

New entries in the OED

The Oxford English Dictionary is the foremost reference for lexicographers worldwide and is regarded as the ultimate reference for anything pertaining to the English language.

For the past 21 years a large group of language experts have been reviewing and compiling the 3rd edition of the great book, known as OED3. However, it appears that this great venture may not actually materialise in the traditional book format. OED3 will most likely be an e-book.
