LIFE DECISIONS....Dog or Kids...

I received this e-mail from Workforce Member Tom and I just had to share. Anyone with a dog or kids or BOTH can relate to THIS!





Life decisions that people have to make are never simple. The importance of the initial decision should always be examined over the long run. Memories made and cherished are sure to be tempered along the way. Consider the following two choices...


Should I get a dog ....












...or have children?

VERY FUNNY YouTube VIDEO

This is the YouTube video sent to me by Workforce Member Sandy. It's from QVC while they were selling a Dell computer. I don't think this was exactly the kind of testimonial they were looking for from a random caller!

WEST VIRGINIA MISPELLED ON THE NIT CHAMPIONSHIP T-SHIRTS




After the West Virginia Mountaineers beat Clemson to win the men's basketball NIT last Thursday night, the T-shirts they were handed had a misspelling. . . which said, "West VIRGINA". (--No "i" before the "a".)


None of the players seemed to notice (insert West Virginia literacy joke here) and they paraded around the court, celebrating in the shirts.


The shirts were printed and provided by the NIT. They haven't said if any of the shirts made it into stores, or if they were just for the postgame celebration. By the way, there aren't any for sale on eBay...YET.

ACTOR EDDIE GRIFFIN WRECKS A 1.5 MILLION DOLLAR FERRARI!

<On Monday, Eddie Griffin totaled a $1.5 MILLION Ferrari Enzo at a race track (The Irwindale Speedway) outside of Los Angeles. . . but managed to walk away unharmed. Eddie was doing a practice lap for an upcoming charity race. . . in a Ferrari that's used in his new movie, "Redline". He took a curve WAY too fast and slammed into the concrete barrier. The crash destroyed the front end of the car beyond repair. This Ferrari Enzo was one of only 400 EVER made.

What an idiot!

STEVE KING'S CLASSIC CORNER AT THE WORLD OF WHEELS!


Steve's 1966 Cutlass

I have been off the last couple of days getting my 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass ready for Steve King's Classic Corner at the World of Wheels car show at the Qwest Center this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My arms and hands are KILLING me from waxing, polishing and buffing EVERYTHING on my car. It's not a show car, but it's a VERY nice driver with a very strong 330c.i. small block Olds motor and a Muncie 4 speed with an original Hurst shifter. It's not "quick", but it is "fast".....if you know what I mean.....

I will be broadcasting live from Steve King's Classic Corner on Friday from 5:00pm to 7:00pm and hanging out drooling at the cars Saturday and Sunday.

Also, in Steve King's Classic Corner you can check out clone cars from one of my favorite movies, American Graffiti. The cars are the yellow 1932 Ford "Milner Coupe", black 1955 Chevy like Harrison Ford drove, maroon 1950 "Pharaohs" Mercury, and white 1958 Chevy that Ron Howard loaned to Charles Martin Smith.

Appearing at an autograph table in this display will be Bo Hopkins and Candy Clark. Candy received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress as "Debbie", the blonde who cruised with "Terry The Toad". Bo was "Joe", leader of the Pharaohs gang who recruited the Richard Dreyfuss character "Curt" into putting the chain on the cop car axle.

Listen for Bo Hopkins and Candy Clark on Friday's show about 6:40am.

...by the way, this is what the Cutlass looked like when I bought it!

SEE YOU AT WORLD OF WHEELS!

THE 20 GREATEST AWFUL MOVIES OF ALL TIME!


#20 The Beastmaster ('82) Half Conan and half Dr. Dolittle, loincolth-wearing Marc Singer is Dar, a man who talks to the animals...and kills the people. Best line: [To Ferret]"I'm gonna name you Kodo."


#19 Hard Target ('93) Jean-Claude Van Damme's lone film with Wilford Brimley is a good family fun, provided your idea of family fun is watching homeless Vietnam vets being hunted for sport. Best line: [Explaining why his name is Chance] "My mama took one."


#18 Hot Dog....The Movie! ('84) It has skiing, boobs, a jagoff German, boobs, and the fair Sunny('s boobs). Best line: "Now, that's a girl i can take advantage of."


#17 Over the Top ('87) Stallone steamer about a man who regains his son's love by arm wrestling. Best line: "I'm gonna give you a world of hurt, little man."


#16 Tango & Cash ('89) Ali and Frazier. Magic and Bird. Sly and Kurt. It's a dream pairing of B-movie icons in the tale of rival cops who bond by putting grenades in people's pants. Best line: "Rambo is a pussy."


#15 They Live '88 "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has sunglasses that enable him to see that many people are, in fact, aliens. He tells pal Keith David to put on the glasses... only Keith doesn't want to wear'em. Crotch-kickin' galore ensues. Best line: "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And i'm all out of bubble gum."


#14 Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins ('85) They wanted a blockbuster action franchise. Sorry. Best line: "The Korean is the most perfect creature."


#13 Boondock Saints ('99) Writer-director Troy Duffy was supposed to be the next Tarantino but chose to focus his talents on being a prick (it's in the documentary Overnight). His one film pre-flame-out features Willem Dafoe swishing it up as a gay FBI agent. Best line: "Charlie Bronson's always got rope."


#12 Starship Troopers ('97) Satire of fascism or just miserably acted flick about kids who wanne squash some space bugs? Does it matter? Doogie Howser and pals join the military to fight back against insects attacking Earth/take coed showers. Best lines: "I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill'em all!"


#11 The Toxic Avenger ('85) Troma Films' masterpiece reveals hat happens when a nerdy janitor falls in toxic waste (he becomes a deformed badass). It ain't Gone With the Wind, but does Scarlett O'Hara rip off a person's arm and then beat him with it? Exactly. Best lines: "Drop your tacos or i'll blow your brains out!"


#10 Best of the Best ('89) James Earl Jones, Eric Roberts, and the U.S. karate team beat Koreans into kimchi. Best lines: "Drop him like a toilet seat, Tommy!"


#9 Missing in Action ('84) While Vietnam wasn't much fun at the time, it's made for a lot of awesome movies. This one may not have the cinematic merit of Full Metal Jacket, but it has something better: Chuck Norris. Former POW Colonel Braddock returns to save our lost boys and teach the Cong some manners (Rambo would finish them off the following year). Best lines: "I'll see you in hell!"


#8 Commando ('85) When you think Matrix, don't think Keanu. Think Arnold. After a former Latin American dictator snatches his daughter (future hottie Alyssa Milano), Schwarzenegger's ex-GI John Matrix must rescue her using only violence and one-liners: "I let him go," "He's dead tired." Best lines: "You're a funny guy, Sully. I like you. That's why i'm going to kill you last."


#7 The Island of Dr. Moreau ('96) Your chance to see Brando with an ice bucket on his head. Best line: "Has it ever occured to you you may have totally lost your mind?"


#6 Billy Madison ('95) The inspiring tale of a lad who just wants to touch the hiney. Best lines: "If peein' your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis."


#5 Dead Alive ('93) In this pre-Lord of the Rings gorefest by Peter Jackson, zombies do battle with Father McGruder, the kung fu priest. Best lines: "I kick ass for the Lord!"


#4 Dolemite ('75) The coolest/worst made blaxploitation flick. A pimp tries to duck the boom mike drifting into shots. Best lines: "I've been wantin' to see me a honky dance!"


#3 Showgirls ('95) Nomi's a small town gal with big dreams (she wants to be a topless dancer in Vegas instead of a topless and bottom-less dancer in Vegas), but first she must overcome sleazy casino execs, rapist rock stars, and much gratuitous nudity. Best lines: "It must be weird not having anybody come on you."


#2 Porky's ('82) Sure, the subplot about anti-Semitism was stupid (just as dick jokes would've felt strange in Schindler's List), but respect must be paid for bringing glory holes to the main-stream and teaching us why Kim Cattrall is called Lassie. Best line: "That penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere!"


#1 Big Trouble in Little China ('86) Kurt Russell needs to save a green-eyed gal from a Chinese dude who wants to marry her so that he can take over the universe. Or something. Ok, no one knows what the hell's going on in this guns and kung fu gangbang, but if you spot it while flipping channels you watch till the end. Best lines: " We take what we want and leave the rest. Just like your salad bar."

IOWA NATIONAL GUARD MEMBER POSES FOR PLAYBOY AND GETS DISCHARGED AND DEMOTED


An Air Force drill sergeant and former Iowa National Guard member who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been removed from active duty, she said Wednesday. Whether that amounts to an honorable discharge, as Michelle Manhart also says, is unclear.


Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in Playboy's February issue, said she got word Friday that she was removed from "extended active duty" and was also told that she was demoted in rank from staff sergeant to senior airman.

24's JACK BAUER AND CTU STOP THE AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE BOMBERS

This is a very funny video that mixes the Cartoon Networks "Bomb Scare" marketing with the hit TV show 24.

THE NEW BIONIC WOMAN


Once again Hollywood proves me right....there are no good original ideas left. Now it looks like NBC is doing a remake of The Bionic Woman.....what's next the Bionic Dog?? Some British actress named MICHELLE RYAN has become the next "Bionic Woman".

--Michelle will play the lead role in NBC's hour-long pilot for their remake of the 1970s series "The Bionic Woman". Back then, luscious LINDSAY WAGNER portrayed the mechanically-enhanced Jamie Summers.

CRAZY ASTRONAUT MUGSHOT

Here's the mugshot we told you about.....I think she could give Nick Nolte a run for his money in the worst mugshot competition.

$12.95 DORITOS SUPER BOWL AD!

A 30-second ad during Sunday's Super Bowl sold for about $2.6 MILLION. And that doesn't count the cost of producing the ad. Which, for Doritos, was basically NOTHING. . . because the commercial they paid $2.6 million to air cost them $12.79 to make.

Doritos sponsored a contest where anyone could create and submit their own Doritos commercial. Then, one lucky winner would have theirs air during the Super Bowl.

And the winning ad. . . which was done by 22-year-old Dale Backus. . . only cost $12.79 to make. You couldn't even build an "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" bomb for that. Sorry. . . too soon??

The ad will air during the first quarter of the Super Bowl this Sunday.

BOSTON BOMB SCARE VIDEO!

OK, I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but who ever it was owes the city of Boston a BIG apology. This group put up electronic advertising devices that basically look like bombs around Boston and several other cities to promote the Cartoon Networks show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". Of course someone saw the "device" and called the police....then all hell broke out! They shut down the city for several hours.

This video shows the "team" putting up the devices. HOW STUPID!

GREAT JOKE FROM DEANNA

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City,
where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at
the entrance is a description of how the store operates: "You may
visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of
the products increases as the shopper ascends the flights. The
shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to
go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!"

So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the first floor
the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs". The second floor sign reads:
"These men Have Jobs and Love Kids". The third floor sign reads:
"These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking."

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

At the fourth floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework."

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: "These men
Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework,
and Have a Strong Romantic Streak." She is so tempted to stay, but
she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: "You are visitor
31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor
exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank
you for shopping at the Husband Store."

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives
store just across the street.
It too has six floors. The first floor has wives that love sex. The
second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited

24's JAMES MORRISON, BILL BUCHANAN ON MONDAY!


I am a HUGE fan of the show 24. Sunday and Monday is the 4 hour premier of season 6 and I am very excited to have the opportunity to talk to actor James Morrison, who plays the head of CTU, on the show Monday at 7:40. I don't know why, but I don't think his character will be with us long during this season. I have a feeling that his death might be the "big shocker" early in the season.


His numerous film acting credits include “Catch Me If You Can,” "The One,” “American Gun” and “Jarhead.”
On TV, in addition to returning for a third season on 24, Morrison starred as “McQueen” on FOX's cult classic “Space: Above and Beyond.” Additionally, he has guest-starred on “Six Feet Under,” “The West Wing,” “CSI: Miami,” “Frasier," “Cold Case” and “The X-Files,” among others.

TIGGER SLAPS KID AT DISNEY WORLD!


Family vacations are all about fighting and seeing lame attractions, but when your kid gets slapped up-side the head by a Winnie the Pooh character, you know it’s been a doozie of a holiday. According to CBS News, the Monaco family went to Disney World for vacation and their teenage son was punched in the face by a “Tigger” mascot. The incident was captured on home video. The Disney World park employee has been temporarily suspended while an investigation is conducted.
