Just a link dump to get something new up here, but check out my update Friday at SportsByBrooks.com for your sports fix.
I'll also have an awesome new Top 10 for ESPN.com Page 3 going up Monday (at least that's when it's due) so definitely check that after the weekend. Have a good one.
Video Rant: Whatever Happens in Vegas... A feature video on the NYC-based Drinking With Bob blog (via Gorilla Mask), this video says everything I ever felt about people who use that lame-ass Vegas tag. Put it this way: if Derek Jeter feeds me that "stays in Vegas" line, I believe it. If some schnook who gets out of the house two nights a week tries to mask that "crazy" time like almost bumping into Joey Fatone's bodyguard I just wanna wretch. I love this clip.
eBay Item: Jennifer Wilbanks Runaway Bride Eye-Opening Eye Cream So wrong, yet so funny.
General Interesting Facts Maine is the toothpick capital of the world, enough beer is poured every Saturday across America to fill the Orange Bowl, Toilet paper was invented in 1857, and other points of knowledge that will get you absolutely nowhere in life. Now answer me this: How did Andrew Jackson wipe his ass?
The Original Condiment Packet Museum Almost 900 "unique packets," including a special gallery of the new Taco Bell packets. Almost makes my ranking of ugliest First Ladies seem like time well spent.
Newsweek: The Best U.S. High Schools Mine in Pelham, N.Y., comes in at No. 365, but let's face it, the place hasn't been the same since I shot 2-for-2 for the basketball team as senior obviously leading the nation in shooting percentage which led to a letter from Ronald McDonald (which I wrote) congratulating me on making the McDonald's High School All-American team. I showed it to my coach, who had absolutely no sense of humor about it. In fact, I think he said two words to me all year: "Nice shot," after I scored my first basket of the year in what was like a 25-point loss. Obviously, he's been a huge influence on my life.

The 50 Worst Hair Styles of All Time Here's what I don't get. How could John F. Kennedy have an affair with Marilyn Monroe and everyone knows about it, yet there's not a single hair stylist who will come out and say what the hell is sitting dead on Donald Trump's noggin? (Found on GiggleChick)
The Case Files of the Fake Detective I always enjoy these investigations of supposed nude celebrity photos. Now, I'm all for having niche hobbies, but if anyone introduced himself to me as someone who specializes in Photoshopping celebrity faces onto porn-star bodies, I'd run away faster than a Gotti boy rushes to a wifebeater sale.
The Best Quotes From The Simpsons From your favorite comedy source and mine, Right Wing News. But how can you beat stuff like this from Homer: "If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers."
Tons of iPod Hacks Remember, don't steal music. And only cross the street at the corners when it says "WALK."
Stacy Keibler in Stuff One of my all-time faves. Not Stuff, Stacy.
