NEW 24 TRAILER ONLINE!!!

24 Day 7 Preview

Add to My Profile More Videos

I am a hugh fan of the FOX show 24 and finally there is a trailer for the new season starting in January! You can watch the trailer above or if it's running slow try the link below, but if you're a fan. . . be warned. . . there seem to be a lot of first-episode spoilers in the clip. . .

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=20771276

For all the heat "24" gets for supporting torture tactics. . . it doesn't look like they're going to be easing up on it at all. In fact, in this preview, doesn't it look like they're going out of their way to be PRO-TORTURE???

DON'T TASE MY BRO REMIX!

Last month, we told you about 21-year-old Andrew Meyer. . . he's the University of Florida student who wouldn't stop questioning SENATOR JOHN KERRY at a campus event, so he was restrained by the campus police.

And, even though he begged the officers, quote, "Don't Tase me, bro!". . . they DID, in fact, Taser him.

The whole thing was caught on video, and became a MONSTER YouTube sensation.

Well. . . yesterday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement released its report on the incident and decided that the officers did NOT use excessive force on Meyer.

The report says that the police tried to remove Meyer from the event, but he broke away and wouldn't listen. So they used a Taser instead of, quote, "hand strikes, kicks, knees or baton hits, that would've looked like [they] were beating Meyer into submission."

--The two officers who restrained and Tasered him had been on administrative leave since the incident on September 17th. . . yesterday, they were reinstated.

TOM HANKS HAS HIS OWN MYSPACE PAGE?!?

Tom Hanks, one of my favorite actors, has his own myspace page!?! Not a fan page or a page done by his staff, but a page he does himself. Why? Isn't myspace a page for 13 year old girls and old men looking for young boys? Seriously, at some point your too old, or too big a star, to have your own myspace page. Come on Tom don't flake out now!

Check it out here: http://www.myspace.com/tomhanks

WHAT DID STEVE DO THIS WEEKEND....WHAT DO YOU THINK! I WORKED ON MY CAR.

This weekend I dove in with both feet on my 1967 Impala project. I started stripping the interior, got the engine running and installed headers. I also cut the old exhaust off. Man is it loud with open headers in the garage!


Here are some pictures of my progress.

THE SAME SCREAM IS IN HUNDREDS OF MOVIES!

Have you ever heard the WILHELM SCREAM??? I'll answer that for you: More than likely, YES.

The "Wilhelm Scream" is a scream that was recorded for a 1951 movie called "Distant Drums". You hear it when a guy is being dragged underwater by an alligator.

For some reason, sound editors in the movie business just kept using it. . . including two years later, when it would be used for the scream of a character named Private WILHELM when he gets shot in the leg by an arrow in "The Charge At Feather River".

(--That's where it got its name.)

It sort of became a tradition. . . or maybe more of an IN-JOKE. And it's still being used today. In all, it's shown up in 112 movies and TV shows. . . as well as commercials and videogames.

It's been in ALL the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" movies, plus. . .

--"Poltergeist"

--"Batman Returns"

--"Reservoir Dogs"

--"Toy Story"

--"Madagascar"

--"The Green Berets"

--. . . and TIM BURTON'S "Planet of the Apes" remake. . . just to name a few.


Nobody knows for sure who actually recorded the Wilhelm Scream. . . but film historians think it was probably SHEB WOOLEY. . . a voice artist who went on to record the most annoying Halloween song ever, "The Flying Purple People Eater".

Check out this video of the screams:

I HAVE A NEW PROJECT!

Well, my last trip to Kansas City wasn't too successful (see the post below) but this one was! Here's my new project to replace my 1966 Cutlass that I sold two weeks ago. It's a 1967 Chevrolet Impala, originally red with red interior, a 327 and a 3 SPEED transmission on the column. It needs quite a bit of work, but the body is straight with very little rust and it still has the original paint on it from 1967!! Look for this VERY BIG and VERY RED Impala at the Quaker Steak and Lube crusie-in's on Sundays or a car show need you.

THE 1968 MUSTANG GT WILD GOOSE CHASE!


As many of you know I kinda like classic cars!?! I sold my 1966 Cutlass and I am now in the process of looking for my next project. So this weekend I talked to a guy about a 1968 Mustang that has been in a garage for the last 9 years, but it was in "GREAT" shape with only some rust in the floor pans. He told me the body was great and it was complete except for the engine. I told him it sounded good and I would drive down to Kansas City to look at the car on Saturday.
HERE IS WHAT I FOUND!


Does this look like a solid car with only a little rust in the floor?!? Come on I just drove 3 hours to come look at a pile of rust!!!
The best part of the story is after driving 3 hour and then spending about an hour listening to him "explain" that he didn't know it was that bad....I asked if I could use his bathroom and he said "NO" because he didn't want my to track dirt into his house!!!









Here are the pictures of what I found!

EVA LONGORIA & PERRY HILTON SEX TAPE!?!

WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE YOU READ THE STORY!


http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5216488a3b


The rumors are true -- Eva Longoria does appear in a sex tape on the Internet. What the rumors got wrong is that the whole thing is a spoof. The "Desperate Housewife" can be seen rolling around a bed with actor Eric Christian Olson on the grainy night-vision tape, dated February 3rd, 2004, but the only hard-core thing about it is the hard-core laughs it inspires. It's the latest skit for Will Ferrell's website FunnyOrDie-dot-com.

DUDE PROPOSES TO HIS GIRLFRIEND ON HIS DEMOLITION DERBY CAR!

Guy's will go to all sorts of lengths to make an impression when proposing to their girlfriend, but this might be THE all time classic!

Kevin Weaver's engagement to Karen Slusser got off to a smashing start — he painted his proposal on a car and drove it in a demolition derby."Every woman I know says she wants to announce it to the world when she gets engaged. I figured I'd announce it for her and make it well noted," said Weaver, 34, of Danville.Slusser, 47, of Mifflinville, knew Weaver was entering the derby. She saw him paint the car white and light blue, then top it with a stuffed bunny to advertise her rabbit-breeding business.But this past week, Weaver moved the car to a friend's garage, saying he needed to keep it out of the rain. While it was hidden inside, he painted "Karen Slusser will u marry me?" from the hood along the driver's side and up the trunk. He also attached a large stuffed ring — with fabric diamond — to the bunny's paws.When the car appeared in the derby arena Saturday, Slusser read the message and her family cheered. Weaver finished third, then met Slusser at the gate to the drivers' pit and asked for her answer."Yes!" she said with a laugh. And with that, Weaver handed her a real diamond ring.

WORST CARS OF ALL TIME!

We all like to talk about the "best cars ever" and what was the greatest classic car ever...here's a fun list of the "Worst Cars of All Time" from Time magazine.


HERE'S A SAMPLE OF THE LIST



Fifty years ago, Ford introduced the EDSEL to the world. . . and, in less than two years, it became known as one of the most spectacular failures in automotive history.

--In honor of its debut, "Time" magazine just put out a GREAT list of the 50 worst cars of all time. Here are some of the highlights:

--FORD EDSEL, 1958. Quote, "Fuel thirsty and too expensive, it was the first victim of Madison Avenue hyper-hype. . . The public expect[ed] some plutonium-powered, pancake-making wondercar; what they got was a Mercury.



--AMPHICAR, 1961. "The Amphicar was both a lousy car and a lousy boat. It's single greatest demerit, and this is a big one, was that it wasn't particularly watertight."

--AMC PACER, 1978. "The worst car design of all time."



--DELOREAN DMC-12, 1981. "The car was heavy, underpowered and overpriced. And [JOHN] DE LOREAN was having dramas of his own. . . sitting in a hotel room with suitcases of money, discussing the supply-and-demand of [cocaine]."


--CAMARO IRON DUKE, 1982. "The 2.5-liter, four-cylinder 'Iron Duke' was the smallest, least powerful, most un-Camaro-like engine that could be. . . the Iron Duke Camaro had zero-to-60 acceleration of around 20 seconds."


--YUGO GV, 1985. "Built in Soviet-bloc Yugoslavia, the Yugo had the distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint."

--FORD EXPLORER, 1995. "How could the best-selling passenger vehicle in America, 14 years running, wind up on this list? In its very success, the Ford Explorer is responsible



--DELOREAN DMC-12, 1981. "The car was heavy, underpowered and overpriced. And [JOHN] DE LOREAN was having dramas of his own. . . sitting in a hotel room with suitcases of money, discussing the supply-and-demand of [cocaine]."


--CAMARO IRON DUKE, 1982. "The 2.5-liter, four-cylinder 'Iron Duke' was the smallest, least powerful, most un-Camaro-like engine that could be. . . the Iron Duke Camaro had zero-to-60 acceleration of around 20 seconds."


--YUGO GV, 1985. "Built in Soviet-bloc Yugoslavia, the Yugo had the distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint."

--FORD EXPLORER, 1995. "How could the best-selling passenger vehicle in America, 14 years running, wind up on this list? In its very success, the Ford Explorer is responsible for setting this country on the spiral of vehicular obesity that we still contend with today."


--PONTIAC AZTEK, 2001. "We like cars that look like us. With its multiple eyes and supernumerary nostrils, the Aztek looks deformed and scary. . . this car could not have been more instantly hated if it had a Swastika tattoo on its forehead."

--HUMMER H2, 2003. "Introduced shortly after 9/11, the Hummer H2 sent all the wrong signals. It was/is arrogantly huge, overtly militaristic, openly scornful of the common good." (Time)
