Link Dump: Whatever Happens in Vegas ... Ah, Shut Up!
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. (Found on SteveSilver.net)

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.

I do like that show, though I'm not a fan of them having added a live audience (except for when they do the Do You Care? stuff; then it works).

I would have killed to see that episoide. So far my favorite is the fishing tourney hosted by Steve Garvey.

I hope they repeat the Iron Sheik episode. I'm sure I can do a whole review of it. If I catch enough episodes to write down some funny lines, maybe I'll do a review of Cheap Seats itself.

I also find myself watching Cheap Seats more than I should. The Steve Garvey fishing episode was hilarious. They had a great miniture golf episode, too. My favorite is old-school Al Michaels hosting the arm wrestling championship!

You are so right Paul the live audience blows, a) they are plants b) the brothers are the comedians not the lame lines the audience delivers. I must say though the episode with Keith Jackson in Acapulco was amazing, whooa nellie. The Al Michaels bit with the arm wrestling was pretty good too, especially the near riot in the middle of the finals. Bob.

Great piece on SBB. Speaking of piece...where does he find all of those hot girls?

The vegas clip is funny. That Vegas saying is so tired. The Palms has shirts that say..."What happens at the Palms, never really happened". Good thing for a certain slampig who kissed a married bartender there. hahahahahahahaha.

Funny ebay link about that crazy bitch runaway bride. Why would anyone want to marry a chick who has Charles Manson eyes?
