Mr. Plow.. that's his name...

1. That Name Again is Mr. Plow



I sent this around last night to some of you, but just have to repost.. it's thats good. Unfortunately, the full length video has been taken down off youtube, but you can see some clips here..

My favorite part though is not on there.. where he says "pushin more snow than Tony Fuckin Montana" priceless.

Update: He has sine been fired

Snow Plow Driver Brags About Burying Cars In YouTube Video


LOWELL (CBS) – A local plow driver seems to enjoy completely boxing in other cars during snowstorms.
He’s so proud of it he’s posted a foul-mouthed video of himself in action on YouTube.

The driver, who’s identified himself as blackdoggxxx, shot the video through his windshield while he was driving his plow up in the Lowell area during the blizzard earlier this month.


2. Wicked Smaat?

Perhaps you've heard of the wonderlic?  No, it's not a sex toy. It's a test they give college football players before the NFL draft.. I always wondered what some of the questions were.. now we know. Spoiler Alert: They're not very hard


Fair_crop_exact
Along with tests of physical capabilities such as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and bench press, the NFL Scouting Combine asks all draft-eligible players to perform a standardized, cognitive examination.
It is known as the Wonderlic test.
Players are presented 50 questions to be completed in 12 minutes. The questions are designed to test a person's capacity to learn and ability to problem-solve, although the correlation between a high Wonderlic score and NFL success is debatable.
You can find out more about the Wonderlic test by visiting the official website of the test.
Below, we present you a 15-question Wonderlic sample, taken from both Walter Football and ESPN.
How will you fare?
The answer key is provided at the bottom.

1. Assume the first two statements are true. Is the final one...
  1. True
  2. False
  3. Not certain
The boy plays baseball. All baseball players wear hats. The boy wears a hat.

2. Paper sells for 21 cents per pad. What will four pads cost?



I guess, if you haven't used your brain for anything other than hitting people for 4 years, these things could get difficult..


3. Sexy Time

Although.. isn't "Brazen Brazilian Couple" kind of redundant?

Brazen Brazilian Couple Has Sex in the Ocean While Hundreds of Onlookers Cheer Them On

"Sex on the Beach" was an entirely different kind of cocktail for a pair of young Brazilian lovers and the large crowd of onlookers who witnessed their unabashed water sports on Carnival Saturday.
Local news outlet O Dia reports that hundreds of beachgoers in the Atlantic Ocean-adjacent city of Rio das Ostras got an eyeful of sea saltiness when an unidentified couple started getting wet and wild in full view of "elderly people and children."

And as you can see from the video, whoever said you cant have sex in water, was obviously wrong...


4. Burning Mississippi

This was under the heading "journalistic integrity" which kind of confused me after all my years at channel 7.. but apparently, this is an actual term that is used..

Mississippi Newspaper Owner Lets Homophobic Readers Have It After They Cancel Subscriptions Over Coverage of ‘Historic’ Same-Sex Wedding [UPDATE]

Jessica Powell and her partner Crystal Craven were married recently in what is believed to be Jones County, Mississippi's first same-sex wedding.
A local newspaper, The Laurel Leader-Call, which serves the county where the wedding took place, covered the ceremony and splashed its report on the front page under the headline "Historic Wedding."
Penned by reporter Cassidi Bush, a "self-proclaimed conservative," the article talks about Craven's Stage IV brain cancer diagnosis, and Powell's dress, and quotes the couple as saying "love is love, it knows no gender." Typical heartwarming wedding stuff.
Laurel Leader-Call readers were outraged.
Nasty calls and emails flooded the newspaper's offices, and subscription cancellations followed suit. The paper's Facebook page received more angry comments over this story than on any story in its history.
Last Saturday, Leader-Call owner Jim Cegielski published a powerful op-ed responding to the brouhaha.
He and the rest of the paper are "well aware" that most of the residents of Jones County "are not in favor of gay marriage," Cegielski says, but "any decent newspaper with a backbone" has an obligation to "inform readers what is going on" and can't base its editorial decisions "on whether the story will make people angry."
He continues:
I took the bulk of the irate phone calls from people who called the paper to complain. Most of the complaints seem to revolve around the headline, "Historic Wedding," and the fact that we chose to put the story on the front page. My answer to the "Historic Wedding" headline is pretty simple. You don't have like something for it to be historic.
The holocaust, bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Black Sox scandal are all historic. I'm in no way comparing the downtown wedding of two females to any of those events (even though some of you made it quite clear that you think gay marriage is much worse).


5. Hollywood Does Rock (and or Roll)

Nice slideshow from rollingstone here... my personal favorite has to be the Wayne's World.. though I'm a lil upset that the Hudson Hawk "swinging on a star" sequence didn't make the cut..

The 30 Greatest Rock & Roll Movie Moments

Unforgettable scenes from 'Pulp Fiction,' 'Wayne's World,' 'Almost Famous' and more
By Rob Sheffield 

Introduction

The movies have a long history of glorious rock & roll moments. Whether the story is about gangsters, lovers, warriors or vampires, the right song can jolt an ordinary flick into something loud and wild. So behold, the 30 all-time greatest rock & roll moments in film history – from Goodfellas to Hot Tub Time Machine, from Elvis to the RZA, from Lloyd Dobler to Spinal Tap to the Dude. (We're not talking show tunes here, so no "Let Me Entertain You" from Gypsy or "I'm Tired" from Blazing Saddles. And no TV, so apologies to Mad Men's "Tomorrow Never Knows" and Community's "Roxanne.") These are just a few of our favorite eruptions of cinematic rockingness. Play these movies loud.

P.S. Who is this "Elvis" cat? He's got game.

6. Mashup of the Day

Hate to admit this.. but I've listened to this a few times already... I need to learn how to play the steel drum. Bomb

Listen to an uncanny mashup of "Under The Sea" and "Ms. New Booty"

Somehow, Soundcloud user TDRloid managed to figure out that two completely opposite songs—The Little Mermaid’s “Under The Sea” and Bubba Sparxxx’s “Ms. New Booty” (Ft. Ying Yang Twins)—go together like freshly drawn butter and delicious, delicious singing Caribbean crab. The result, “Under The Booty,” might seem like a weird combination in theory, but listen once and be convinced. After all, all parties involved know that it’s better down where it’s wetter.

7. Take A Chance.. Make It Happen

Could be the best and worst news I've heard in a long time..

 Nevada legalizes first interstate online poker

(Reuters) - Nevada has become the first U.S. state to legalize interstate online poker and allow state-to-state gaming agreements, beating New Jersey to the punch and putting in place a potential nationwide framework for Internet wagering.
Republican Governor Brian Sandoval signed the landmark bipartisan bill into law on Thursday, authorizing his office to enter into agreements with other states that will in effect allow Nevada-based companies to host interactive gambling for residents of other states.


8. Pick-Up Line of the Day

I have to admit, I kinda like this JR Smith character... even though he plays on the Knicks

Ladies, J.R. Smith’s Twitter Come-On Will Have You Sopping Wet [UPDATE: J.R. Responds]

Last month, as the Knicks were in Philadelphia to play the Sixers, J.R. Smith was up to his old tricks. J.R.'s got something of a history with Twitter, and women, (and asses), so it's not like the young lady who chatted him up via direct message couldn't have known what she was getting into. Still, this is spectacular:


Ladies, J.R. Smith's Twitter Come-On Will Have You Sopping Wet [UPDATE: J.R. Responds]

It's like poetry in its way. Smith with the briefest of answers, always waiting a few hours before replying to her. Smith, out of nowhere like a fallback J at the buzzer, cutting to the chase. Smith, with the unironic use of "the pipe."
We don't know if anything happened after the game. We do know that Smith went 0-for-8 that night. We do know that the girl in the Twitter conversation is a senior in high school. We do know that the age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16.

UPDATE (6:55 p.m.): J.R. has responded, on his Instagram account:

The Most Star-Studded Bar Mitzvahs (slideshow)



I had a lame ass caricature artist at my Bar Mitzvah. Though, at the time it was pretty cool.. Snoop Doogg would have been better..

Snoop Dogg


Snoop Dogg

“I performed at a bar mitzvah,” Snoop Dogg told Esquire in 2008. “And I'm telling you, man, these little motherfuckers, they were singing my shit, they was cussin', they were singing the dirty version. I'm talking about 12- and 13-year-old little white kids singin' this real gangsta shit. Man. I was shocked. I just gave them the mic and let them motherfuckers go.”


10. Full Show Friday

Full Show Friday: Ween Visits Mississippi – 2007

 One of the many reasons Ween ruled was that they let audience members freely videotape their shows. While many acts allow audiotaping, only a handful allow videotaping and Ween was one of them. This led fans to organize themselves in filming many gigs with multiple cameras and then editing the resulting footage into what would often be killer DVDs/Blu-Rays. Many of these vids are available for download through the Brown Tracker.
For today’s Full Show Friday selection we’re going with a classic Ween show from May 3rd, 2007 at The Library in Oxford, Mississippi. The gig was shot by three members of the JimboFilmsInc. crew and lovingly edited together. Ween reels off some of their best-known songs such as Voodoo Lady, Push Th’ Little Daisies and Piss Up A Rope as well as a few rarities such as Gabrielle and Poopship Destroyers. The footage looks amazing and it features audio dubbed in by a taper.
