THE SARAH PALIN CORN FIELD

Have you noticed that over the past few weeks, a select group of Americans have lost their ever-loving minds over SARAH PALIN?

Well, one of these yahoos is a farmer named Duke Wheeler from Whitehouse, Ohio .

It seems Duke was so excited when Palin joined the McCain ticket that he hired an artist to mow a portrait of Palin . . . into his 16-acre cornfield.

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME NOMINEES

The 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees were announced on September 22nd. For the third consecutive year, only nine nominees were named, and of those, five will be inducted.

Jeff Beck, Metallica, Chic, Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Run-D-M-C, The Stooges, War and Bobby Womack.

COME ON! CHIC? RUN D-M-C? THESE AREN'T ROCK AND ROLL! How can they consider acts like Chic and Run Dmc when Steve Miller, Alice Cooper and Jimmy Page are NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If they aren't going to be true to their Rock and Roll name...than change it to the Music Hall of Fame.

Check out who else is eligible, but not in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame: http://www.futurerockhall.com/eligibles.php

THE DUMP OF THE MONTH CLUB STRIKES AGAIN!

You've heard me talk about "The Dump of the Month Club" that I am a part of with my neighbors...right? If not, basically every month a group of friends in my neighborhood get together to eat at "dump" restaurants and bars around the city. For some reason...I still don't know why...they let me tag along with them. Every month the "dump" is a surprise location that is picked by one of the couples.

This month was a good one! IT was our first trip across the river to C.B. for a "dump" location. We went to The Railway Inn...good food...good drinks...football on the TVs...and I ate a Railway Burger about the size of my head! Oh...and to all the restaurant owners and operators...we mean no offense to your establishment by picking it as a "dump" location...it just means that you have good food and a certain atmosphere that we are looking for.

Here's a picture of the motley crew that attended this month's "dump". By the way, my wife and I are picking the dump for next month....any suggestions?

ONLY *ONE* HOUSE SURVIVED HURRICANE IKE IN THIS GALVESTON NEIGHBORHOOD

You have to see this picture. It's so messed up that it looks fake . . . but it's not. It's a neighborhood in Galveston, Texas, where Hurricane Ike hit hardest last week. It shows a lone house with nothing around it but utter devastation.

--The house belongs to Pam and Warren Adams, who built it in February 2006 after their first home was destroyed by Hurricane Rita. They asked the contractor to build a house that could withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Looks like they got their money's worth.

NEVER HAVE YOUR LUNCH STOLEN FROM YOUR WORK REFRIGERATOR AGAIN!

Has your lunch ever been stolen out of the refrigerator at work? If so, you should pick up an Anti-Theft Lunch Bag to make sure it never happens again.

Basically, the Anti-Theft Lunch Bag is a plastic bag that has green splotches printed on both sides . . . so it looks like your sandwich is moldy and disgusting

OK, so the Anti-Theft Lunch Bag hasn't actually hit the market yet . . . but if you email the inventor, Sherwood Forlee, at skforlee@gmail.com, he'll let you know when it does.

THE TEENAGER JARGON BUSTER

Sometimes it may seem as though you need a translator to understand what your teenager is talking about. With a new slang word seemingly invented every week; many parents find it difficult to keep up with the latest phrases and sayings. This is why we’ve come up with a teen-speak jargon buster. Put together by teenagers and parents, this dictionary of 'teenglish' (complete with definitions) should help break down the language barrier.

So what sort of slang is decoded on Got-A-Teenager?

"Flossing": to show off. (--As in, "Look at that guy flossing in his new car.")

"Beef": to have a problem. (--As in, "I have beef with him, so we're going to fight.")

"Sick": good. (--As in, "Your new shoes are sick.")

"'Rents": parents. (--As in, "My 'rents grounded me.")

Former 'Raspberries' lead singer Eric Carmen arrested again for drunk driving

Here's the link to the dashcam video: http://www.tmz.com/tmz_main_video?titleid=1785267255

Here's the story from Cleveland's WKYC-TV...

Police Sgt. Jason Marvin said Eric H. Carmen of Gates Mills, was involved in a one-car accident just after 7 p.m. Tuesday night on Chagrin Boulevard.
An officer on the scene said he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.
WKYC broke the story on Tuesday night.
Carmen, 59, was taken to Bedford Heights Jail and given a blood alcohol test, where the test showed a blood alcohol level of .234, almost three times the legal limit of .08.
Carmen was then arrested and charged with failure to control his vehicle and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
Carmen was driving his 2008 black Range Rover eastbound on Chagrin Boulevard just after 7 p.m. Tuesday when he ran off the south side of the road in front of the Beechmont Country Club, running over a fire hydrant in front of the club.
Carmen was alone in the Range Rover at the time of the accident.
The Range Rover continued on, eventually coming to a rest about 100 feet down the road. Oil was leaking from underneath the car and it was towed from the scene by Interstate Towing.
The Orange Village Fire Department arrived on the scene and cleaned up the oil spill. Parts of Carmen's Range Rover were scattered around the area of the broken fire hydrant.
The Cleveland Water Department was notified that a fire hydrant had been sheared off and was lying on the ground but was not leaking.
Carmen was released on a personal recognizance bond of $500 at the jail.
Carmen was arrested by Gates Mills police in March, 2007, for OVI after driving his Lexus SUV off SOM Center Road there, hitting a mailbox and a sign, then ending up in someone's front yard.
At his court appearance in 2007, Carmen, the former lead singer of The Raspberries, pleaded no contest to those charges.
The judge fined him $750 and sentenced him to 30 days in jail, with all but three of those days suspended.
The Raspberries started in Cleveland in 1972 with the Top 5 hit "Go All the Way."
Three other Top 40 singles followed. After the group's fourth and final album, "Starting Over," came out in 1974, Carmen launched a successful solo career.
He released his first solo album, which included the hit, "All By Myself," in 1975.© 2008 WKYC-TV

NEW MELLENCAMP!

John Mellencamp is no stranger to the music of Bob Dylan. He has performed a number of his songs -- "Like a Rolling Stone," "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat," "All Along the Watchtower" and "Highway 61 Revisited." He even directed the video for Dylan's 1989 song "Political World." Now, with a nod to the presidential election, Mellencamp has made a video of himself doing an acoustic version of Dylan's 1964 song "The Times They Are a-Changin'," which he has posted on his website.

HENDRIX GUITAR GOES FOR BIG BUCKS!

A 1965 Fender Stratocaster that JIMI HENDRIX set on fire back in 1967 . . . has been sold, at an auction, for $497,500. That seems like a lot for a charred guitar, but it was projected to go for at least $900,000.

This was NOT the guitar that Jimi infamously burned ON FILM at the Monterey Pop festival in 1967 . . . this one was torched at a concert in London earlier that year.
