Another Brick In The... Washer ???
C'mon! You've thought about it! What would happen to my washer if I threw a brick inside of it while it was spinning. Really? I'm the only one?! Liars, all of you.
All in all it's just another great video that saves you the trouble of destroying your own possessions. Let's see the Maytag repairman deal with this.
Pac Man Fever Turns To Plague
Quinn Pitcock was an all-America defensive lineman at Ohio State, and a third-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts. But he quit the NFL in 2008, at age 24. The reason? Video games addiction.
That remarkable admission is in today's Tacoma News-Tribune, covering the Seattle Seahawks training camp, where Pitcock has returned to restart his pro football career. Pitcock (pictured) told the TNT that he quit because he was suffering from bouts of depression, using video games as an escape. The specific games or genres were not mentioned, but eventually, it all became an addiction that needed help as much as his depression.
"I just stayed in my apartment and did nothing," Pitcock says, on the Seahawks' official website. "I ended up using video games as my out, I got sucked into that," he said. "I got lost to the world."
Pitcock's now in camp in Renton, Wash., trying to earn a job as a defensive tackle and show the coaching staff he can still be a useful performer. "I think some guys don't know my story, they just thought I got released by Indy," Pitcock told the News-Tribune. "And that's fine. I'm not trying to make it a big deal. I left quietly and I'd like to come in quietly and just show what I can accomplish with the team."
Pitcock told the Seahawks' site that he intends to start a charitable organization to help those addicted to games. "I got to a point where I broke and burned many video games trying to quit," he said. "But that was my outing, so once I got rid of that and realized I could start eating healthy and exercising and do all that, I got back on track."

BELLINGHAM - IHOP's mascot Suzie Pancake was assaulted by a bystander at about 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3, outside of the restaurant at 3619 Byron St., according to Bellingham police.
A 19-year-old woman dressed in the pancake suit was outside the IHOP, waving at passers-by, when 22-year-old James Manas approached her and began yelling at her and hitting the suit with his hand, Bellingham Police spokesman Mark Young said.
A passer-by stopped Manas as he tried to hit her again; Manas then walked to a nearby bus stop, said Young. The woman went inside the restaurant, where the manager called Bellingham Police, Young said.
Officers found Manas at New Peking restaurant, 1208 E. Maple St. Manas was cited for disorderly conduct, Young said.
Manas told police he had only been joking, and that he did not hit the pancake, Young said.
The woman was not injured, but was sent home from work early due to distress, Young said.

R.I.P. Dr. Beeper
As the charming face of cleanser maker Ty-D-Bol, Dan Resin, was an actual gentleman—a yachtsman, even!—who seemed to care how clean the toilet bowl was. Plus the envy of all men being the club champion of Bushwood Country Club two years running - definitely no slouch.
The actor, who was born Daniel Wrzesien before tweaking his last name for Hollywood and Broadway purposes, died Saturday due to complications of Parkinson's disease. He was 79.
Resin also parlayed his aristocratic persona into a memorable role as the pretentious Dr. Beeper in Caddyshack opposite the likes of Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight. Additionally, he was a member of the original casts of Once Upon a Mattress and My Fair Lady.
- thanks to listener Lee Marohn for the heads up.

"I Don't Wanna' Hear You Sing" - Steven Tyler to American Idol????
FROM TMZ.COM
IT'S NOT OFFICIAL YET, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE "AMERICAN IDOL" HAS FOUND THE TWO NEW JUDGES THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR JENNIFER LOPEZ, WITH AEROSMITH SINGER STEVEN TYLER TAKING OVER THE SEAT MADE FAMOUS BY SIMON COWELL -- HE BRINGS ROCK STAR CREDENTIALS TO THE SHOW, BUT HE ALSO KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT BALLADS (AEROSMITH'S ONLY #1 SONG WAS A BALLAD, "I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING") -- THEY PLAYED VEGAS OVER THE WEEKEND AND TYLER, WHO'S NOT KNOWN FOR BEING SOFT-SPOKEN, REFUSED TO COMMENT -- BUT AT AGE 62, HE'S A LITTLE LONG IN THE TOOTH FOR THAT ROCK STAR GIG.
You're Not Even Looking At This Headline Are You?
If you were I would've put some more effort into it and tit-led...er...titled it "Beer-Agra"... OK, no big loss after all. Many men can attest that a big night on the booze sometimes ends with misery in the bedroom. Now the dreaded beer-wiener may be a thing of the past thanks to a new beer with a secret, but very common, ingredient.
That ingredient is cheese. An Austrian beer company has created a beer that’s laced with a special sexual cheese that purportedly improves sexual performance even after one too many rounds of brewskies.
According to a report in the UK’s Metro newspaper, the new beverage “promises a positive and healthy response” after a big night of drinking. The beer apparently provolones an erection, makes sex brie-se after a hard drinking session and promises a gouda night of intense love-making. (As if this article couldn't get anymore cheesy.)
OZZY Psycho..er...Psychic
Ozzy Osbourne says he has psychic abilities and that he predicted Princess Diana's death weeks before she was killed in a car accident in Paris in 1997. He tells Britain's Sunday Times Magazine, "I remember when Princess Diana was still alive, I woke up one morning and said to my assistant, 'You know what? Something very bad's gonna happen to her.' And sure enough, days or weeks later, the tragedy in Paris happened... [But] the fact is, if someone's living their life at 300 miles per hour, you don't have to be a clairvoyant to see what's coming."
