The TSA side of the story

Earlier today the STP 'hot news tipline' received an email from a frontline TSA official who wanted to share his side of the story regarding the pat downs. We have respected Brian's request for anonymity and shall refer to him only as BL.

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.

No 'Chili' and no Bowl to put it in.

The powers that be at Vikings HQ finally grew a pair and fired Brad 'Chili' Childress last week after a humiliating defeat to a second string Green Bay Packer team.

Happy Turkey Day

The staff at Slap the Penguin sincerely wish all of our readers a Happy Turkey Day. Unfortunately we are two weeks late, but if we posted the story back on the 14th of November, the National Day of Turkey, then it wouldn't have been funny.

Turkey - Not Actual Size and certainly not stuffed.

New CD releases for November 30th

Another short stack this week. Just as well because time is tight these days, especially on a short week like Thanksgiving week. Do enjoy the following introductions for these new releases, and remember to hover over the album art for purchase options and links to professional reviews.

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.

Sarah Palin - 2012

The Mayan calendar predicts a world ending disaster will happen in 2012. Sarah Palin was quoted earlier this month saying that she would run for President of the United States of America in 2012 “if nobody else wants to do it”.

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.

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'.

Playboy goes with the Flo

Look for these images on your smokes in 2012

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.

I figured if anyone cares enough about what songs are on the disc they can click the picture and be whisked off to the relevant page. So here we go with this weeks rundown in no particular order.

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.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
2007 R 116 minutes

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). To cover his tracks, Todd enlists the help of Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who disposes of the victims by baking them into tasty meat pies that become the toast of London.

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.

You try g**gling checkered flag ! !

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.

Does this Seacrest outfit make me look straight?

Dear Tina - Prince Charming

Dear Tina,

I'm chubby, broke and I live with my parents. I'm also stubborn, opinionated and have no brain-to-mouth filter. Where do I go to meet Prince Charming?

Sincerely,
