Jaw Ailment Could Sideline Eating Champ

TOKYO (AP) -- The competitive eating world is already chewing on this bit of breaking news: The champ may not be able to chomp. Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, the six-time champion of the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, may be sidelined for next week's event by an arthritic jaw.

Couldn't wait for morning to post this

A ten year-old orangutan broke out of its cage and went on a rampage through a Taiwanese tourist park, before being tranquilized and moved to safety. The end is slightly disturbing, but worth the watch for sure:

Fiktivní výbuch atomové bomby v Krkonoších (Zprávy ČT24)

June 17, Czech artistic group ZTOHOVEN (translation: one hundred Shi$#@*) interfered on a Czech TV broadcast by connecting up to one of the stationary cameras during a TV weathercast and in real time managed to broadcast their own video. Leader of the group Glenn Carlen is said to be the mastermind behind the prank.

That's it for Tuesday, folks.

OC: Thanks for the memories . . .

This should keep you quiet

I absolutely positively cannot and will not vouch for this new program on A&E as a whole. However, what I can do is HIGHLY recommend Episode One featuring "John". Ladies and Gentlemen, set those DVRs! You will not regret it.

MATT JAFAR - ROCK N ROLL STAR

The Honorable Matthew Jafar graduates from Council Rock this evening.

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
Cos in my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight - Matt's a Rock N Roll Star

ALL YOU GOOD PEOPLE - PLEASE JOIN ME - AND RAISE YOUR CHALICES - IN HIS HONOR!

Swingers

Oops, caught on camera:

12 degrees?

I hope winter never returns to Billyburg.

Tough Times

It's easy to love an underdog.

This guy's not going anywhere though!

Contrary to popular misconception, Chester is not losing his title as the Ultimate King of 15 McKesson Hill Road. Nor is he dying. It's Sage who is moving out.

Preparing to say goodbye to an old friend . . .

. . . isn't easy.
After a great run and lots of heavy breathing, Sage is packing it up and moving it out.

Be Here Now.
