Bengals Get Permission To Shoot Birds In Stadium

Bengals Bird PoopThere’s a lot of crap flying around Paul Brown Stadium lately — And I’m not talking about the recent play of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals asked the city for, and received, permission to shoot birds that have been pooping on fans inside the stadium according to an article in The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Fans have complained that pigeons are craping on them and in their drinks during football games.

So, not only are fans being crapped on by the Bengals team this season, the stadium’s birds are dumping on them as well.

Clips From Early 90s MTV Show Liquid Television

Remember Liquid Television from the early 90s on MTV? I loved that show. It was a collection of short animations MTV would run in a half-hour format. I’ve compiled a few of the clips that stood out for me.

This first clip was the inspiration for a certain character that later appeared in “Office Space.”

That’s My Girlfriend, Asshole! Vol. 7

The following ads were posted to Craigslist.org in the Missed Connections section of Columbus, Ohio. I’ve replied to each with only the line “That’s my girlfriend, asshole!” Here are the responses:

That’s my girlfriend, asshole!

Re:Re: Hilliard Y today - you wearing all black and doing… - m4w - 30

Why does that make me an asshole? She was alone, wasnt wearing a ring, and wasnt wearing a sign that said “Hi, I am Gary Planter’s Girlfriend”.

If it really was your girlfriend, consider it a compliment that you have a cute girlfriend you douche bag. My post wasnt asking her to contact me so I could fuck her either.

Get a grip.

Nickelback Song Rips Off Nickelback

This post isn’t timely. In fact, it’s about four years late, but I had never heard this before so I figured a lot of you might not have either.

A musician in 2003 noticed how similar Nickelback’s then newly released single, “Someday,” sounded to an earlier song they had released in 2001 called “How You Remind Me.”

He overlaid both songs on top of each other, one playing through the stereo’s right speaker and the other playing from the left and ended up with the following audio:

Pretty similar, no?

Sprkus.com Gains Live Web Feed Capability

Justin.tvJustin.tv has given Sprkus.com it’s own channel.

The site, touched on in this earlier post, gives people their own live Web cam channel to broadcast as little or as often as they wish. Some channels try and broadcast 24-hours-a-day, while others choose to broadcast only on special occasions.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the Sprkus channel yet. I’ll probably just break it out during any sort of social gathering so I can broadcast it live on the site. Or any time Baumann comes over.

The link to the channel is www.justin.tv/thesparkus. I don’t know when I’ll start broadcasting, but that’s where it will be. I’ll also embed the feed on Sprkus.
