1. Happy Anniversary

Thriller turns 30. Wow.

Check out some of these numbers:

-Best selling album of all time with 42.1 M certified copies sold (I know I account for not only an Abum version way back when, but also a 25th anniversary re-release CD I bought a few years back)

-All 7 singles released reached #1

-8 Grammy wins

And oh yeah. It still holds up 30 years later as chock full of nasty tunes. Check that link for some cool vids as well. I'll be pumpin this once the office clears out..

(Not quite as good as The Swerve's version.. but oh well)


2. Speaking of All-Time Great Albums

Check out this NY Times review of Abbey Road from when it first came out...

NY Times Reviews Abbey Road In 1969, Finds Only 15 Minutes Of Album Enjoyable

 

"There was a time when the Beatles's lyrics were one of their greatest attractions. Not any more. On Abbey Road, you get only marshmallow."


Well, this guy was clearly ahead of the times because looking back at it, Abbey Road really isn't that gre----oh wait. Yeah it is. Dumbass.

Drive-In 'Sex Boxes' To Be Installed In Zurich, Switzerland

Posted: 11/29/2012 11:01 am EST Updated: 11/29/2012 11:01 am EST

 This ain't your mama's drive-in.
The city of Zurich, Switzerland is set to a build a series of drive-in "sex boxes" which, starting next August, will provide a discreet environment for prostitutes to meet clients.
The "boxes" are garage-like structures that are large enough for a car to be parked inside. According to the Telegraph, the site will facilitate meetings for around 30 prostitutes, and clients will use the drive-in slots on a first-come -- ahem -- first-served basis.
Prostitution is legal in Switzerland, but Zurich officials have struggled with controlling sex-trade related crime and violence.
"We can't get rid of prostitution, so have to learn how to control it," police spokesman Reto Casanova said in 2010, when the idea was first introduced.
The decision was also motivated by complaints of city-dwellers unhappy with seeing prostitutes walking the streets.

An example of a drive-in "sex box" in Essen, Germany.

 Can we just trademark the name "Come and Go" now and bring these to the states? Who's with me?



4.  The Most Exciting Thing To Happen To The Archeological Community in Eons

.. which is to say, still not very exciting.. 

How Old Is Grand Canyon? New Study Puts Age At 70 Million Years

By ALICIA CHANG 11/29/12 02:10 PM ET EST

The new work by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and California Institute of Technology argues that the Grand Canyon is much older than previously thought.

LOS ANGELES -- The awe-inspiring Grand Canyon was probably carved about 70 million years ago, much earlier than thought, a provocative new study suggests – so early that dinosaurs might have roamed near this natural wonder.
Using a new dating tool, a team of scientists came up with a different age for the gorge's western section, challenging conventional wisdom that much of the canyon was scoured by the mighty Colorado River in the last 5 million to 6 million years.

Never thought I'd hear the words "provocative study" used in the Archeological world.. unless of course you're talking about this.  



5. I Misunderstood

The MBTA has released surveillance vid of yesterday's green line crash. Two things of note:

1) Check out the dude who comes flying out.. he gets up, then thinks, wait, I can maybe milk this for a lawsuit, then lies back down as if he's incapacitaed.. But Wait! He then realizes his bag is still on the train, and it could drive off with it! So he jumps back up and grabs it! Then sulks away... sorry buddy.

2) Check out how nonchalant some of the passengers are.. oh well, looks like the T has fucked me again.... just another day on the T... This is why I avoid it at all costs.

If you're having trouble "sealing the deal" here's a list of some things that may be "zapping your sperm count"

Sperm Count Zappers: 11 Things You May Not Know

By Katy Hall Posted: 11/29/2012 10:06 am EST Updated: 11/29/2012 10:44 am EST

If you're a man trying to impregnate someone, you may know it's best to stop smoking, get your laptop up off your balls and give your sperm plenty of chances to get to their target.

There are also plenty of less obvious factors that can affect sperm count — and some are toxins that are probably in your home and in products you use every day. It's impossible to avoid all these things entirely, and trying to is likely to cause enough stress to override any benefits. But here are some surprising things that have been linked to sperm killing and some ideas for safer alternatives:


First of all.. I never take my laptop off my balls. It makes them all warm and fuzzy.. (well they're already fuzzy).. Secondly, no sex toys, weed, showers, or booze? Why don't you just take all the fun out of life? I mean, isn't the baby going to do that already? Can't we enjoy ourselves while they're still time? Can't this wait till I'm old.. can't I live while I'm young?

8. Slideshow of the day

It's funny how even with today's HD video and crazy camera angles, there's still something special about a still picture. I saw some documentary about this, as it relates to sports.. and these pics just confirm it..

Some of my faves:

9. Here's Your Chance!

To jam with everyone's least favorite jam band! Shmoe! Nadel... I'm looking in your direction..

You Can Sit in with moe.

Photo by Dino Perrucci
Relix and Jambands.com have partnered up with moe., to offer three lucky—and skilled—fans the opportunity to join the band onstage during one of the three nights leading up to New Year’s Eve. Interested participants should share their musical prowess in a YouTube video audition for a chance to jam with the group. The members of moe. will then judge the videos and choose one fan per night to join them on stage for a song in Worcester (12/28 & 12/29) and Portland (12/30). Each winner will receive two All Access passes for their show night, and the winner will get to sit in with the band for a moe. song of their choice (final approval of song will come from band). The winner must be available for sound check on the afternoon of the given show. A year’s subscription to Relix also will be included in the prize package.


Yep. They're so bad they need people from the crowd to come and sit in with them to sell tickets.. Kinda sad really. Of course, if I sat in with them they would probably fire their bassist and hire me. Of course, I'd have to turn the job down since they're so awful. But would make for an interesting NYE to be sure..


10. Full Show Friday

Break out your straw hats and your corn cob pipes... FSF goes bluegrass!

Full Show Friday: Bluegrass All-Star Band Muleskinner – 1973

When bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe was tapped to star in a 1973 PBS special, fiddler Richard Greene was tasked with putting together a band to back the “Father of Bluegrass.” Greene created one of the genre’s first “supergroups” featuring Dave Grisman, Peter Rowan, Clarence White and Bill Keith. The troupe was named Muleskinner and as they awaited Monroe’s arrival, they were informed Bill couldn’t make it. Well you know the old showbiz refrain – “The show must go on.”

Yeweeeee!


11. This Just In!

When news breaks.. we fix it..

"it's for a show no one watches on NBC" bwahahahah" .... which one?

It's Chilly Outside.. and it's Chili Inside

1. Power Lunch

Obama, Romney eat chili, talk leadership

President Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney talk in the Oval Office following their lunch, Nov. 29, 2012. / Official White House Photo by Pete Souza

In their first face-to-face meeting since the third and final presidential debate, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joined President Obama for a private lunch at the White House today, where he and Mr. Obama chowed down on white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad while discussing America's leadership in the world.


Love the menu details. I imagine the post-meal conversation sounded something like this:


2. Don't Mess With Michonne...

Or you'll get the scowl.. which one? Does it matter?

My favorite?

The simmering rage scowl

3.  To the D'ohme

I liked this idea the first time I saw it.. when it was called The Simpson Movie..



4. Costco Joe






I cant tell you how much I love this guy. Even a mundane trip to Costco is just riveting. If I could have a beer when anyone alive right now, it would have to be him....  I'd put John Boener a close second, just because I want to see how long it would take to make him cry. I'm putting the over/ under at 25 minutes.

Hey give the man a break. He's still stuck in the 90's when he was relevant...

7. Steel Dre

The Good Dr. raked in the most money of any musician this year -- without making any new music. He's like the Mitt Romney of the music industry. I'm sure those headphones are the bomb... but check out the rest of the top of this list. Lots of old people that haven't done anything new in a long time. Better luck next year, noobs.


8. You got Rondo'd

My two cents, for what it's worth.. much ado about nothing. Even KG seemed a lil baffled by it all.. It was a lame, nba shoving match that as usual in this day and age, is being blown out of proportion. 2-games suspension is still bogus, in my mind, but considering there was talk of even more, I guess we just take it and move on. The bigger problem is the C's are trying to sleepwalk to the Eastern Conference Finals, and they're now realizing, they can't do that in the 2012 Atlantic... Should be interesting going forward.. Will Avery Bradley be the savior? Or are we blowing his contributions last season out of proportion? I think mostly the latter.. Let's just hope the team gels better as the year goes on and stays healthy enough to give it another go in The Tournament. The whole first part of the year has just left me a lil depressed. Was hoping they'd pick up where they left off last year, and so far at least, they are clearly not as good as when last we saw them.

Butt Implant Turns Inside Out: Horrifying Video Of Botched Surgery Sweeps Facebook & YouTube

Huffington Post UK  |  By Sara C Nelson Posted: 29/11/2012 15:34 GMT Updated: 29/11/2012 15:47 GMT

Have you ever wanted to see an inside out bum implant? No, us neither.
However, thanks to the twin universes of YouTube and Facebook we have seen just that. And because we can't unsee it, we're going to share it with you.
The clip shows a woman's thong-clad bottom, with one buttock sporting a strangely flat surface - namely an implant that has seemingly become dislodged.


'I don't think an implant is supposed to do that'     

 
But seriously.. did she really need an implant there? Looks like she's doing OK for herself in the "back" department already...

The Risks of winning a huge jackpot
      Again, surprised some things didnt make that list.. you know, like back surgery needed after sleeping on a bed made of hundreds, or the abrasions from swimming around in your vault full of gold coin.. Uncle Scrooge style..

Last but not least, check out some of these numbers.. this means we can afford to fix that pothole on my street, right?

-As of 10am today, the MA lottery has already sold $1.5 million worth of Powerball tickets.

$4.3 million were sold in MA on Tuesday.

-The MA lottery estimates some $35 million dollars in tickets will have been sold since the last jackpot was won 10/3.

There have been 15 drawings since 10/3 with no winner.

-The Jackpot:

If you take the lump sum payment it’s $327 million before taxes.

After taxes, it’s $228.9 million

-The MA lottery is currently selling Powerball tickets at a rate of $7,300 a minute statewide.

It anticipates that during peak hours (5:00-8:00pm rush), sales will reach $20,000-$22,000 a minute

-The MA lottery estimates that there will be a brawl every 8 minutes between those homeless-looking, unemployed types who spend all day hanging around convenience stores scratching off tickets and stink-eyeing every other lottery player who buys a ticket.

Ok, I made one of those up.

About The Arnold Palmer

Film Summary

92 tournament wins, seven major championships, a Congressional Gold Medal, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. These are just a few of the accomplishments that have solidified the legend of Arnold Palmer. However, for an entire generation the "Arnold Palmer" name might be more synonymous with the lemonade-and-iced tea beverage that has become a piece of Americana. Will Arnett, Peter Jacobsen, Fuzzy Zoeller, Jim Thorpe, Fred Funk, Brad Faxon are fans of both the man and drink, and lend their insight to director Bryan Gordon's exploration of the history, mystery, and industry surrounding "The Arnold Palmer."

'Super drunk' charge for Wings pick

Updated: November 28, 2012, 10:33 AM ET

ESPN.com news services

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- A Detroit Red Wings prospect faces charges under Michigan's tough "super drunk" designation following a traffic stop during which police discovered him clad in a Teletubby costume.
According to a Grand Rapids police report obtained by MLive.com, Riley Sheahan twice registered a blood alcohol level of .30 percent when tested in jail after his arrest on Oct. 29.

Sheahan

Police say the 20-year-old Grand Rapids Griffins center from St. Catharines, Ontario, was wearing the costume of a purple Teletubby known as Tinky Winky during the stop.
The "super drunk" charge carries a penalty of 180 days in jail and possible deportation. Sheahan also faces a charge of providing false information, as he was carrying the driver's license of fellow Wings prospect Brendan Smith when he was arrested.

At the height of cold and flu season, you may be wondering whether or not it's even safe to enter the office, between the sneezing woman to your right and the coughing man to your left.
And while you're right to question when it's appropriate to go to the office, there are a number of other ways that your work environment can make you sick. And if the average person really does spend 90,000 hours at work over the course of a lifetime, it's worth learning how to make that time even a bit healthier.

Cope Reynolds, Arizona Gun Store Owner, Rails Against Obama And Sees Business Surge

Posted: 11/27/2012 2:08 pm EST

An Arizona gun store owner who posted a sign declaring supporters of President Barack Obama unwelcome in his shop has seen a surge of business -- and public response -- after his antics went viral.
Cope Reynolds, the owner of Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Ariz., told the Arizona Republic that "business is booming" following his public displays of protest. Reynolds also took out a full page ad in the White Mountain Independent which read, "If you voted for Barack Obama, your business is NOT WELCOME at Southwest Shooting Authority. You have proven you are not responsible enough to own a Firearm."

This photo taken on Nov. 24 shows the unfinished boat built by Lu Zhenhai, a man from Urumqi, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, who's afraid that his home would be submerged in a doomsday flood in 2012. Lu said he was worried about the apocalypse, so he decided to invest all his money, about $160,500, into building what he hopes will be his own indestructible ark. (CHINA OUT AFP PHOTO)

Worried about the impending 2012 "Mayan apocalypse," a man in China has reportedly spent his life savings on the construction of his very own "Noah's Ark."
According to China News Service, Lu Zhenghai, from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China, has already spent about $160,000 on the boat. The vessel, designed by Lu himself, measures about 65 feet in length and will, when completed, weigh about 80 tons, the report states.

Erotic Zoos Prompt Germany To Reinstate Bestiality Laws

Posted: 11/26/2012 10:25 am EST Updated: 11/26/2012 5:25 pm EST

It turns out "erotic zoos" are tough to ignore.
The Daily Telegraph reports that bestiality laws have been off the books in Germany since 1969, but Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner has agreed to support a law that would make it illegal for people to "use (animals) for their own sexual activities or sexual acts of third parties." The proposed law would also ban the "pimping" of animals to others.

'Two and a Half Men' star begs viewers to stop watching his 'filth' of a show

• 

Was "Two and a Half Men" teen star Angus T. Jones so turned off by the recent storyline that had his character Jake Harper making out with Miley Cyrus that he's now biting the hand that feeds him by trashing the series he's starred on for the last decade?

No, it goes much deeper than that. Not only has the 19-year-old called his series "filth" in a new interview, but he also begs viewers to stop watching "Two and a Half Men" and talks about how being on the show goes against his religious beliefs.

"Jake from 'Two and a Half Men' means nothing," Jones says in a video interview with Chris "The Forerunner" Hudson, who leads a Seventh day Adventist-leaning video series. "If you watch 'Two and a Half Men,' please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men.' I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth. Please." 

You can see the actual video on that link above.. but of course the irony of all ironies is.. he's exactly right. Sure, he's crazy. And he makes 350K per episode and should just keep his mouth shut, but that is by far one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Though to be honest I've never made it through an entire segment, let alone an entire episode..

Marijwhatnow? A Guide to Legal Marijuana Use In Seattle

Written by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on November 9, 2012 at 10:22 am

The people have spoken. Voters have passed Initiative 502 and beginning December 6^th, it is not a violation of state law for adults over 21 years old to possess up to an ounce of marijuana (or 16 ounces of solid marijuana-infused product, like cookies, or 72 ounces of infused liquid, like oil) for personal use.  The initiative establishes a one-year period for the state to develop rules and a licensing system for the marijuana production and sale.


Can I legally carry around an ounce of marijuana?
According to the recently passed initiative, beginning December 6^th, adults over the age of 21 will be able to carry up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use. Please note that the initiative says it “is unlawful to open a package containing marijuana…in view of the general public,” so there’s that. Also, you probably shouldn’t bring pot with you to the federal courthouse (or any other federal property).


Only one ounce for personal use? What is this, Nazi Germany?

The drugs, seized on Oct. 25, totaled 48 kilos and would have been worth $5 million on the street, officials estimated.

Female Porn stars have higher self esteem than other women: study

• Posted: 3:03 PM, November 26, 2012

Has the naked truth come out? A new study has concluded that female porn stars are just as psychologically healthy or even healthier than other women.
The latest edition of the Journal of Sex Research has challenged the stereotype that porn actresses have poor self-images and a history of sexual abuse. A report suggests that porn stars have higher self-esteem, a better quality of life and body image, and are more spiritual than their non-adult entertainment counterparts.

Shredded police documents used as parade confetti

MINEOLA, N.Y. Some very private information was unknowingly cast to the winds during one of New York City's most public events: A ticker-tape parade.
 CBS Station WCBS writes that the Nassau County Police Department is looking into reports that shredded documents from its offices ended up as confetti at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Police said the documents included sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers of personnel and police incident reports.
The department issued a statement saying it has launched an investigation and will be reviewing procedures for disposing of sensitive documents.
The shreds were not "official" parade confetti. Macy's said it only provides bits of paper in colorful dot form.


Some pieces reportedly included info on Romney's motorcade.. poor bastard. His Presidential dreams literally shredded and tossed out the window like so much garbage. Again, luckily he has a 100 dollar bill for each piece of confetti tossed that he can use as a mattress to cry himself to sleep on tonight.

More from Rolling Stone (no irony intended)

15. Mad Men

Just kidding, obviously Don Draper would never let any of these ads through... 

16. Last but not least

As I decided to take Fri off.. let me conclude our little series on the thanksgiving run 97.. the only anniversary that really should be celebrated this week. The final night of the Worcester run looked to pick up where "the Runaway Jam" night left off.. and they did there best with a jammed out first set...

Sunday, 11/30/1997
Worcester Centrum Centre, Worcester, MA

Set 1: Guyute, Funky Bitch^[1], Wolfman's Brother^[2] -> Love Me, The Squirming Coil, Loving Cup
Set 2: NICU, Stash^[1] -> Free > Jam -> Piper > When the Circus Comes, Run Like an Antelope
Encore: Them Changes^[3]

[1] Unfinished.
[2] Heavy metal style jam, with a Heartbreaker tease from Mike and Trey quoting the lyrics to Sanity and Esther.
[3] Phish debut.

Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: Funky Bitch and Stash were unfinished. Wolfman’s included a heavy metal style jam, with a Heartbreaker tease from Mike, and Trey quoting the lyrics to Sanity and Esther. Them Changes made its Phish debut at this show.
This show was part of the "1997 Fall Tour (a.k.a. Phish Destroys America)."


Quick taste:
All I can find on youtube is the Stash > Free... and it's just audio..  but hey, that's all you really need to have your mind blown at the office.

Full show:
This site seems to have an easy download version.. just scroll down... as well as some other audio snippets you can enjoy on the fly.. While you're there you can check out this blogger's take on the show as well..though I wouldn't trust any stoner's recollection of a night some 15 years ago... having said that......

My Two Cents:
-Guyute could be one of the best single-tune openers of all time. Thats the band's way of saying, we aren't fucking around tonight. And if you didnt get the message how about a jammed out, unfinished version of FUNKY BITCH of all things to follow it up? Still not getting it? How about a heavy metal (wha wha whaat?!?) jam out of.. Wolfman's Brother?!?! And just when they've turned your mind to mush, and you think you can't bug out any harder.. Gordon sings Elvis. Man I love phish.

-Dissapointed that it's not listed properly as "Dem Changes" on the setlist, but what a random, yet somehow awesome encore. Came out of nowhere and I dont think they ever played it again. But definitely sent those of us who had "Band of Gypsys" in the disc changer at all times in those days..home happy. What are dem changes they refer to? Perhaps the new, jammed out funk style they had perfected by late 97... which would ultimately climax at MSG a month later with the "Sneakin Sally" show.... oh to be young and funkin' out on phish tour... Guess I'll have to do my best to relive the glory days a month from now.. NYC, watch out!

Is this Mitt Romney pumping his own gas?

An unflattering photo of Mitt Romney pumping his own gas hit Reddit Tuesday morning.
