Here We Go Again

This has GOT TO STOP! Yet another flamer has posted a YouTube video of himself lip-syncing to a Beyonce song. Watch as "Cubby" the intern from 96.1 The Beat in Charlotte, NC. performs "Single Ladies".

Turbaconducken

Holy Jesus and Mary!!! It's almost Thanksgiving and being the gluttons that we Americans are, we can always elaborate on already over-the-top ideas. Case in point - the Turbaconducken from the artery clogged people over at Bacon Today.

The idea of the Turbaconducken is pretty simple. You take your normal, everyday Turducken - a Duck stuffed in a Chicken stuffed in a Turkey - and you completely wrap the entire thing in BACON! Now, certainly this taints a basic principal of the Turducken by adding a non-fowl component, but look how freakin' delicious this thing looks, mouth watering.

FREE Dr. Pepper

It looks like Guns N Roses has called soft drink Dr. Peppers bluff. In March Dr. Pepper (himself) stated that "he" would give every single person in the United States a free Dr. Pepper soda if the long awaited (since 1994!) new GNR album Chinese Democracy was released in 2008. Well, that day has come. On Sunday, November 23rd, the disc will finally go on sale and beginning at 12:01 a.m. that same day, coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr. Peppers Website. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.

Im a Pepper, You're a Pepper.......

Best Muppets Site Ever

Leave it to Disney to create the Best Muppets Site Ever. Click through the plethora of videos, games, and sheer mayhem for a totally enjoyable time, but make sure you don't have anything else to do because the site is pretty addictive. We are loving Pepe the Prawn.

Also, be on the lookout for a brand spankin' new Muppet movie sometime in the, hopefully, near future.

We know a lot of you guys are still steaming over the passing of Amendment 2. Well, Kerry sent us over this pretty handy link that lets you search to see who signed the original petition to get the initiative on the actual ballot. Thankfully, we've searched for just about everyone we know and only one name came up with a hit, and we weren't surprised one bit. We aren't going to mention any names but.....SHAME ON YOU!!!

Sharx Wings & Grill - SOLD

Last month we told you guys that Sharx Wings & Grill on Park Street was for sale. Well, according to our source, the place has sold, here's the scoop...

"Sharx has been sold. The food & menu have improved and the new owners really care. Homemade specials served daily, liquor bar now open with killer specials such as pitcher of beer with 10 wings for $9.99. Check out prices in area, Sharx is a better deal...nice atmosphere...Hope this time it stays open"

For the sake of the neighborhood, we hope Sharx stays open too. We just hope these new owners can keep the place clean and not revert back to its predecessor Hot Rods.
