Lame-Ass, Slacker, Degenerate, Lazy, P.O.S. Blogger

I am hoping to make this the home of all the clips from the show, yet we continue to wait for the engineering work to be done. So, I haven't added a damn thing for weeks.

Please Stand By...

Billy Mays

I am sure you have heard by now the pitchman Billy Mays died today. He may have suffered a blow to the head during a plane ride that caused him to die later on. Maybe very similar to the way that Natasha Richardson died.

In honor of Billy Mays, tomorrow morning at 8am, we should all do a load of whites!

No Sugar 'til Vegas!

Until Frank "forced" me to eat some of his wife's AMAZING rum soaked birthday cupcake, I had been sugar free for many (4) months. I have dropped some weight recently due to a hot and heavy extra-marital dalliance...

...by staying away from carbohydrates. I have cheated with some bread from time to time, but go for wheat bread more. I haven't had ANY pasta at all, except one bite, and other than some fried banana pudding with raspberry chipotle sauce that Frank scammed me into eating, I have committed to being sugar free until I go to Vegas in three weeks.

I wanted you all to see a picture of the dessert that will be the end of sugar free for me...

... the Molten Lava cake. I prefer it with some vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce, but this is the foundation. That's melted ganache by the way! Every restaurant in Vegas has it's own variety.

Second night...

The BIGGEST bowl of Tiramisu that you have ever seen. It's massive and it's DEEEELISH!

Bucca diBeppo is off the stip and is worth the visit. If anything in Vegas feels old school, this is it. Great Italian food, fun atmoshere.

Me, motorcycle, Sturgis... Do I make it? Yes, no, maybe so? Thoughts?

IF... and that's a BIG if.

We are trying to get our engineer to install ONE PROGRAM on the main broadcast computer that will allow us to take every segment of the show and put it on this blog. We lost streaming a few months back and now we have no way to get the show on the Internet. We get letters about how many listeners have missed our show and we CANNOT afford to lose any listeners. But, you know how engineers are...

... if they don't think of it first, they won't do it. So, we are holding our breath.

There is no South Dakota...

My lovely and eloquent partner Kimberly Renee Hansard would have you believe, "There is no South Dakota". The map might have a different opinion. So, like Lewis and Clarke, I plan to set out to PROVE that, yes Virginia, there is a South Dakota.

I have decided to get on the Geezer Glide and ride all the way from Knoxville to Sturgis, the home of the world's largest motorcycle rally.


I have gone on long rides before, but never like this. Some people are telling me that I am crazy but I am planning a sloooooow ride over a 9 day period of time. This has been a fantasy for a long time with no real goal in mind. If I make it to Sturgis, fine. If I make it to Crossville, fine!

I would get to visit a slew of states that I have never been to and will have the camera clicking away. I have always wanted to see Mount Rushmore...

... Devil's Tower that was depicted in Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind...

... and being the history buff that I am, there's no way that I can miss a chance to go to Deadwood, the town made famous as the site of the shooting of Wild Bill Hickok during a poker game.

I loved the HBO show too...

Wish me luck!

Noman Bates Redux...

Man dresses up as his mother to collect her Social Security benefits and other money. There is video here... http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/06/17/2009-06-17_psycho_son_.html...



Here is the douchebag as a man, although MAN is a term we'd have to use loosely.

The Wooden Hairbrush Switch Belt

So... what were YOU beaten with. Even people (liars) who say they don't beat their kids, have grabbed up the belt, shoe, switch, brush, paddle... or had a father that did.

Kim's mom would threaten the wooden spoon just by opening the drawer that it was kept in and that was enough for her and her brother...

My brother and I always knew trouble was coming on the form of the hairbrush...

...when the Aqua Net spray stopped, she came flying in with the hair half-teased, the shiite was about to hit the fan!

Leave a comment on what you were beaten with and we will have it on the air tomorrow. Tell people about my blog because I would like to utilize it for stuff to put on the radio in the morning. I hate Twittering and this is a much more fun way to get in touch with you guys.

Chris Brown Beat Down

Here is the photo of Chris Brown where he showed up at the NBA game in Orlando with a Rihanna look-a-like. How does he expect people will react? Does he think he's being cute? What an absolute show of disrespect for Rihanna and women in general.

I am of the opinion that this is a man that needs to get the shiite(British) kicked out of him. I know, that's an immature point of view, but when it comes to violence against women, I lose my mind. I honestly believe in the theory of "an eye for an eye"...




...but I also believe from the depths of my soul that American jurisprudence should prevail.

It is my opinion that Chris Brown should be judged by a jury of his peers.

If found guilty by a preponderance of evidence, I feel confident that a prison rehabilitation progam will allow Mr. Brown to see that violence against women is unacceptable.

We can only hope that Mr. Brown will realize the error of his ways and will reevaluate his life.

World Series of Poker Face

You may not know this, but the World Series of Poker is going on right now in Las Vegas. It won't be shown on TV until the fall. For poker players, this is the Mecca and of course...

...this is the Holy Grail! This is what it's all about. Of course, if you win one of these, 6 or 7 figure paydays are the norm, but it's all about the hardware. My morning partner Kim thinks this is gaudy, she of the "eclectic" wardrobe, so her opinion isn't valid. This tells everyone that you out-thought, out-lasted, out-witted, out-lucked and out-played hundreds, if not thousands, of other players.

I will be in Las Vegas for the last week of the Main Event of the Series. There are 57 different events that range in entry fee price from $1500 to $50,000. Needless to say the only events that I have played, or plan to play, are at the bottom end of the scale. I go out there to gawk at celebrity poker players like Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, Tobey MacGuire, Jason Alexander, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon...

Not only the poker brings me to Vegas. I absolutely LOVE The Bellagio. It is the most beautiful hotel I have ever visited and feel like I couldn't stay anywhere else. You feel like a rockstar walking in there and the service, food, and atmosphere just SCREAMS Las Vegas.

If you go, check out Olives on Via Bellagio which is the walk between The Bellagio and Caesar's Palace. If you like mushrooms, you MUST try the Wild Mushroom flatbread. It's SICK! That's a good thing.

I plan on trying a new restaurant this trip and I will be giving a review when I get back!

2 comments???

Wow, I have readers?
Actually, people who have searched this out in the 'sphere?

And even left comments??

You guys look lovely, thanks for sending me your pictures!
 

Maybe this is why Frank is so addicted to blogging? Granted, I am certain that the radio show is to blame for you stumbling across this, but I guess I'm impressed that you even decided to comment.

I took some cool pics recently that I will add here soon..

Hey, what's a blogroll and how do I get on one? Someone told me that's the only way anyone ever checks you out.

I should have known better...

Live and learn...


I should have known that Frank wouldn't mention the fact that he was alerted to my blog by Google. What I hoped would be a funny radio bit,(attempted dethroning) would be met with consternation and silence.


We're doing RADIO here, People. If it doesn't make it to the Radio, it's NOT RADIO!



So I guess...

Frank puts me in the corner.

Am I doing this just to annoy Frank Murphy?

It is my goal to be Knoxville's TOP BLOGGER by the end of this year! Is that possible? Sure it is! Here is the reigning TOP BLOGGER. Otherwise known as THE ENEMY.


If Frank had just considered me a FRIEND, none of this would be necessary. Granted, I do bug the dog mess out of him just to see him squirm, but isn't that what FRIENDS are for? And I don't worry so much for me as I do for my other partner Kim. She takes this thing very hard and I feel the need to avenge her hurt.

So, Mr. Murphy, it's ON LIKE DONKEY KONG. Knoxville's TOP BLOGGER is at stake.

I want the hardware.

==================================================================

I have many interests, but several have taken over my life. Needless to say, I am a bit obsessive about the things I do because I want to do them all the way.

Photography...


... I have loved since I was 11 and got my first camera...





I may have even shot your wedding...

And, from time to time, every once in a while, radomly, occasionally, by chance... I am known to engage in the GREEN FELT FELLOWSHIP! I love to play POKER! Texas Hold 'em, just like you see on TV. So, I may vent about bad beats and trips to Vegas.

Yet, all of my vices pale in comparison to my first love, the one thing that I believe I was put on earth to do (besides being a father) and that's MORNING RADIO. I appreciate the opportunity I get to entertain you on the radio. I have been on the air for over 20 years and for a guy who was always told he would never amount to squat, it's nice to have found something I could do well enough to support a family.

So, this is my blog. I'll try not to let it suck. Otherwise, how would I become KNOXVILLE'S TOP BLOGGER!!
