Change the way you eat

Well heres a couple of great ideas for your next night out.
PETA
Peta, those crazy vegans, wish to inform you that you may not be eating fish, but rather Sea Kittens. This shocking story came to light a while ago, but i really haven't seen the fruits of their labor yet. Well this morning i found it, a wonderful book showing you what has been covered up for apparently eons. My question if fish, er Sea Kittens, were good enough for Jesus to consume and share with I do believe everyone, why not anymore?

Something a little more refreshing
Mmm delicious. It is really refreshing that this place is doing well. Yes it will kill you but if you don't know that by now, is there really any good that can come of you sticking around?

Just wanted to give some ideas for your next meal.

Facebook really can ruin your life

Cheaters never prosper and apparently neither do "arrogant wankers."

According to a post on switched.com, 39-year-old SouthYorkshire, England resident and loyal Manchester United fan Stuart Slann was on vacation in Cancun, Mexico when he met two Liverpool hooligans. Slann persistently gushed over the fact that Manchester currently holds the English Premiere League and Champions League titles to the utter annoyance of the two Liverpool fans who finally wound up tossing his arrogant arse into a pool. However, their revenge and soccer loyalty didn't stop there.

After returning to Liverpool, the two men set up a fake Facebook profile under the name "Emma" to tempt Slann into a virtual love affair. One 500 mile trip to North Scotland to a deserted farm and one compromising picture later, Slann finally discovered he was duped. Worse yet, Slann's wife found out about the entire thing and has since divorced him.

Facebook and soccer, what a horrible combination. I, for one, can't stand the bloody sport. I've never been able to get much excitement out of watching guys chase around a ball, scoring maybe once or twice the entire 90 minutes they play and crying when someone trips them (no offense to any soccer fans reading). I can, however, totally relate to the fanatical sports fandom. What Cougar fan wouldn't want to get a little revenge after listening to someone spout the praises of the Purple and Gold? I'm not sure if ruining another person's marraige is entirely called for, but certainly posting some pictures of the culprit with drawings of male genetila on his face wouldn't be out of the question.

I think the most valuable lesson to be learned here is: If you have to drive more than 500 miles to meet someone you met on Facebook, you may want to reevaluate you life a little bit.

Trashy at best

So I know this is probably way too easy to pick on, but I ran across this in Cosmopolitan and almost threw up from laughing so hard.

I'll give you a moment to read it ...

Okay, so what the hell? Holly Eagleson, you officially are either really freaking creepy or...wait no, just really freaking creepy.

I personally don't feel the need to please people by putting up a picture of my dog on my desk to show them I'm loyal (actually, I don't have a dog, so in that case I'll use my friend's pitbull. He's cute and cuddly...do you think people will like me because he's cute?).

I also don't feel the need to lie to my hypothetical boyfriend's parents to impress them by telling them I like political figures who in reality really piss me off. That's going to make for a really awkward election season, and really I'd rather openly trash-talk your candidate than act all hush-hush about things.

Don't even get me started on the ones about guys. Describing in vivid and dirty detail some random and utterly monotonous moment in your life doesn't really scream "dateable." Think---"Oh, and the table I did my homework on felt so hard ..." Yeah, I didn't think you wanted to go there.

In a nutshell...worst advice ever. Yay women's magazines.

13 Going on 30

A 13-year-old boy has become a father according to parentdish.com. Alfie Patten was just 12-years-old when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman became pregnant. Chantelle gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisi Roxanne Feb. 9.

When asked how much diapers cost, the 4-foot tall British lad replied, "I don't know, but I think it's a lot."

My question is are the kids really to blame?

Apparently Alfie was encouraged to stay over and even kept an extra school uniform at the Steadman's house.

Mommy Chantelle and baby Maisi are living with Chantelle's mother, unemployed father and five siblings. The family already depends on benefits to get by.

Alfie's father says the next thing on the agenda is to have the "birds and the bees" discussion.

Isn't it just a little too late for that now?

Check out pictures of the "little" family here.

Lets take a moment...for our fallen ones.

Pepsi Blue, Surge, Josta I miss you.
You sweetened my life in ways that most doctors will say are illegal, immoral, and just unhealthy. But why should I have cared? You didn't, you left me.
Oh Surge, you were the bain of my mother. You made Mountain Dew look like childs play. We had a trying relationship, you were a fleeting moment snuck in after school, or hidden in a fountain drink. Alas it could never work, and you were gone.
Josta, how could I forget. always there at the Wal-Mart entrance. So coy, so seemigly innocent, but I knew your true inner beast. You were unlike anything I ever had.
Pepsi Blue. You knew me. Your research team knew who I was, I was different and I wanted my soft drink to reflect that. But alas, that was the ultimate price you had to pay. Nobody wants to be that soda. And one day, 4th button down, you were gone.
Chocolate Soildier, heres your shout out.

Man Sues Hotel for Drunken Spill

A self-proclaimed alcoholic is sueing Marriot Marco Island resort after he fell down a 100 foot staircase after drunkingly leaving the hotel bar to use the restroom. Michael Fenton suffered brain damage from the incident and instead of using the experience as a wake up call, he is sueing the hotel according to gadling.com. Fenton blaims the hotel bartender for serving him and claims the staircase is a code violation.

Could you imagine the uproar at WSU if students thought they could sue the university every time one of us eats it on the stairs or sidewalk around campus? Thank God we all know its our own faults for over-celebrating or in most cases over-mourning a Cougar loss.

Remember people, take responsibility for your actions when having a little too much fun.

I didn't even know Beanie Babies still existed...

So I may or may not have a closet full of these bad boys at my parents house, but this is just too ridiculous.

Apparently Ty Beanie Babies is "retiring" (read: renaming because Michelle Obama was pissed), the names of two of its little gems "Marvelous Malia" and "Sweet Sasha." Not only is it creepy that the company took the time out to create and name these beanie babies, but they are definitely two of the most creepy looking beanie babies I've ever seen. No children have lips like that.

I don't think I've ever heard of a beanie baby company getting a bad name. Those evil stuffed animal companies -- they'll exploit your 10 and 7-year-old daughters and reap the benefits. Huh. Go figure.

Arizona Fans Get the Shaft...Literally

For those that thought Janet Jackson's alleged "wardrobe malfunction" during the halftime show of Superbowl XXXVIII was bad, it was nothing compared to what Tucson-area Comcast customers saw Sunday.

According to Fanhouse.com, a 30-second porn clip interrupted the broadcast following Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald's touchdown reception in the final minutes of the game.

Philadelphia-based Comcast issued a statement that the company was "mortified" and would be conducting an investigation into what it believes is an isolated malicious act.

Only those watching Superbowl XLIII in standard definition were affected by the incident, which only legitimizes the superiority of hi-def in my opinion.

Personally, if I were Budweiser I'd be irate. I mean who's going to remember a commercial about a Clydesdale fetching an over-sized branch after that? There's $3,000,000 down the drain.

Taking Green to a Whole New Level

So here is a story I stumbled upon earlier this week that, dear I say, doesn’t need much commentary.

According to a post on AutoblogGreen, an environmental blog, NY public transportation rider and apparent poet Shelia Bolar bit a bus driver when she found out the bus she was riding was not a hybrid.

Apparently Bolar has quite the bite as she managed to bruise the driver’s arm through a jacket, sweater and a shirt. According to the New York Daily News, Bolar is facing assault charges and will have to take a psychiatric exam.

Clearly Bolar is not one of those vegetarian poets/extreme environmentalists.
