Tailgating Tips:
1. Always dress in team colors and don’t forget to dress for the weather.
2. Timing is everything: Food should always be ready about two hours before the game.
3. Plan to arrive three to four hours early and stay one to two hours after the game.
4. Plan your menu. Keep your menu simple, but not too simple - and always spice it up!
5. Fly your team’s colors with a flag or designate a monument so people can find you.
6. Make a list of items you’re taking out to your spot.
7. Meet your tailgate neighbors; you may need to borrow something or share in the celebration of a winning season.
8. Decorate your tailgate site either in team colors or a theme; make it fun.
9. Always find a good place to park. Be strategic in your parking either – close to restrooms or entrances to the game.
10. Leave your area as clean as it was when you arrived.

Wedding Dance

This couple of Minnesota made national headlines for their wedding ceremony when the entire wedding party danced down the aisle leading up to the big event. Now, I heard about this video and thought it must be something really exciting if over seven million people viewed it on youtube. I watched the video and came away disappointed. First off it was not all that well choreographed. Secondly the dancing was not that well done. Lastly, I think it would have been better outside of the church instead of during the service. Your thoughts??

LIfesavers in Milwaukee

I don't know if you have seen this video yet but it is amazing. A van flips over in Milwaukee and three people are trapped inside. Thanks to a group of bystanders, two off duty firefighters and an off duty police officer everyone is alive. Here is the video from CNN. It takes a few seconds to load.

Bagelhead

Now it's time for a little segment we like to call "What's Hot with the Youth of Japan." So . . . what's hot with the youth of Japan?


--Well, apparently, the latest fad in Japan is getting a body modification procedure called . . . a "Bagelhead." So what's that mean?


--Basically, "Bagelheading" involves injecting a saline solution under the skin . . . which causes swelling . . . then using your fingers to mold the swelling into the shape of a bagel. (???)


--After 24 hours, the bagel swelling loses its shape . . . and the skin returns to its normal size.

runpee.com?????

It happens every time. You are in the middle of a movie at a theater and suddenly the gigantic soda you drank 20 minutes ago is banging on the sides of your bladder wanting out. What do you do? Leave for the restroom and potentially miss a pivotal moment in the film? Stay for the whole movie and wet yourself like a 6 month old infant? Now a website has been created to help you in your hour of need. It’s called runpee.com and it does the dirty work for you before you see the movie. Here’s how it works:

Before you go to the movie log on to the website and click on the movie you are going to see. Runpee will tell you the moments in a movie that you can miss without missing any valuable movie content!

Pretty cool idea. Unless you’re like me and have to go 3-4 times while the movie is playing!

World Champions

The beard and moustache world championship took place over the weekend.

The winner was an Anchorage native named David Traver, who sported a beard he'd woven to resemble an Alaskan snowshoe.

Paula is weird but kinda cool

PAULA ABDUL HAS GIVEN SCOTT MACINTYRE A GUIDE DOG:


For some reason, PAULA ABDUL has decided to give SCOTT MACINTYRE . . . (--this year's blind "American Idol" finalist) . . . a GUIDE DOG.

Last Friday, Paula sent Scott out on what he thought was a singing engagement. But she actually took him to the headquarters of the Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar, California. When they got there, she told him he was getting a dog.
(--The Guide Dogs of America website says guide dogs cost roughly $38,000)
Scott "test drove" a few guide dogs at the event . . . but he won't be able to get his own dog until after the "Idols Live" tour wraps in September.
(--That's because he needs to have the time to go through training with the dog first.)


(--You can watch Paula springing her surprise on Scott at the link below. The clip also features some exciting bonus footage of Scott actually walking with the dogs.)

Give it a chance to load this website's video player kinda sucks!
