TOP 10 QUOTES OF THE YEAR

I'm going to go ahead and say that this year has been a BRUTAL year for quotes. Because the "Yale Book of Quotations" just released their list of the top 10 quotes of 2007 . . . and "Don't Tase me, bro" was their choice as the BEST quote of the year.


"Don't Tase me, bro" is what 21-year-old Andrew Meyer, a student at the University of Florida, said when he was getting roughed up by campus police officers. They were throwing him out of a building for trying to antagonize JOHN KERRY during a speech.


And they ended up Tasing him anyway (--bro).


Fred Shapiro is the editor of the "Yale Book of Quotations" . . . he says that's the quote of the year because it's a, quote, "symbol of pop culture success." Within two days, it was on T-shirts, made into ringtones . . . and the videos of it were YouTube phenomena.

--Here are the rest of the top 10 quotes of the year.


#2.) LAUREN UPTON, Miss Teen South Carolina, answering a question at the Miss Teen America pageant about why one-fifth of Americans can't find the U.S. on a map.

Quote, "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq and everywhere like such as . . .and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us."

#7.) Senate majority leader HARRY REID, talking about BIG DICK CHENEY, quote, "I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9% approval rating."

#8.) SENATOR LARRY CRAIG, explaining that when his foot touched an undercover officer's foot in a bathroom stall, it wasn't because he wanted to solicit gay sex, quote, "[I have] a wide stance when going to the bathroom."

Boy did I prove her wrong!

MAKE YOUR POOP SPARKLE WITH REAL GOLD!

If you've got so much money that you're just looking for new ways to waste it, Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid created the Gold Pill for you. It's a pill dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf. You're supposed to eat it "to increase your self-worth." That would be funny if it didn't cost $425 for the joke. Supposedly an added benefit is that it will make your poop sparkle!

JOURNEY GETS A NEW SINGER....FROM YOUTUBE!

Earlier this year, Jeff Scott Soto parted ways with Journey and now, a replacement has been found. His name is Arnel Pineda and he hails from the Philippines. Pineda has been singing Journey songs and original material in clubs in his country for years, but how did Journey hear about him? Turns out, they used the Internet. Guitarist Neal Schon wanted someone new to the music business as the band’s vocalist and he went on YouTube. After hours of searching, he found Arnel and thought it was too good to be true. He wrote to Pineda, who thought the e-mail was a hoax, but a friend convinced him to respond and, as Pineda notes, “the rest is history.” The band is thrilled with their newest member. Schon stated, “We feel reborn. I think there’s a lot of chemistry between the five of us.” As for Pineda’s thoughts, he revealed, “It’s so exciting to sing with one of the best bands in the world. It’ll be a lot of hard work on my part and I’m actually looking forward to the scrutiny I’ll get from hardcore Journey fans. I know they’ll expect me to sound exactly like ‘the voice’ (Steve Perry), but that will never happen. I know there’s only one Steve Perry in this world.” The latest lineup of Journey is currently working on a new album that they hope to release by summertime.

UMMM HAM FOR HANUKKAH!?!

Last night was the first night of Hanukkah. And in honor of that, here are THE Hanukkah photos of the year!

Here are the pictures from a grocery store called Balducci's, in Manhattan, where they were advertising their Hanukkah specials . . . on HAM. (--Ham, of course, is the food that Jewish people do NOT eat.)

There were three different signs . . . one for boneless spiral ham, one for petite smoked ham and one for boneless smoked ham . . . all of which were marked "Delicious for Hanukkah."

STOLEN KRISPY KREME TRUCK VIDEO

We like this story a lot . . . mostly because the criminal here has one of the greatest names we've ever heard. His name? Warren G. Whitelightning.

36-year-old Warren G. Whitelightning lives in Crandon, Wisconsin.

At about 3:00 A.M. on Saturday morning, he was drunk in Madison, Wisconsin . . . shoplifted eight giant red hot pickled sausages from a convenience store . . . and then decided to steal a KRISPY KREME doughnut delivery truck that was parked outside.

The police started chasing him . . . and during the chase, when Warren G. Whitelightning hit 80 miles-an-hour, the back doors of the truck opened and doughnuts started spilling out.

At one point during the chase, Warren G. Whitelightning ended up throwing the truck into reverse and slamming into a police car. The chase didn't end until he hit a concrete median and almost flipped the truck.

GOODBYE EVIL KNIEVEL

One of my favorite characters from the 70's Evil Knievel died on Friday at the age of 69.

Born Robert Knievel, the onetime motorcycle salesman and owner of a minor-league hockey team, supposedly picked up his famed nickname while jailed on a reckless driving charge. His first stunt was a jump over a 20-foot-long box filled with rattlesnakes. Soon, he graduated to riding his chopper over a dozen or more cars -- and caught the attention of Joey Bishop, who brought him onto his late night talk show. On December 31st, 1967, an attempt to leap 151-feet over the fountain at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas fell short -- the spill left him in a coma for nearly a month. But his genius at having it filmed led to a lucrative deal with A-B-C, which aired the stunt. The fact that he wasn't always successful only added to his legend. Knievel knew how to draw a crowd -- his segments generated four of the 20 most-watched episodes of A-B-C's Wide World of Sports.

He drew his greatest attention for an attempted leap over Idaho's Snake River Canyon 1974 using a rocket-propelled motorcycle. While it failed, his genius at turning it into a pay-per-view and closed-circuit T-V event paid off handsomely. But a falling out with promoter Sheldon Saltman -- including Evel beating him up on the 20th Century Fox studio lot -- led to a battery conviction and million-dollar judgment. But his name still meant money -- Six Flags recently signed a deal naming a new wooden roller coaster at its Saint Louis park after him.
