Hey, are you looking for a new roommate?

How about Chad Ochocinco?  Who wouldn’t want to be roomies with a guy who changed his last name to the numbers on his jersey.

Apparently, it’s no joke.  The newly acquired New England reciever says he wants to move in with some lucky fans for the first two or three weeks of the season, just so he can get acclimated to life with his new team.

This sounds like a 1960s sitcom and 2011 reality show rolled into one. “Leave it to Receiver”?
He says you have to bring your own XBox and your own internet. I’m guessing I can’t eat his peanut butter out of the jar from the kitchen cabinet?  No deal!

Whoops.

Are you putting off car maintenance because of the rough economy?

I know I’m not much of a believer in the 3,000 mile-oil change rule. In fact I’ve always been a fan of maintaining a car for as long as you can. I’ll admit, I’ve been responsible for driving more than one car, until it just completely quits. Apparently I’m not alone.

In a new survey from Triple A, they say:

More than half of American drivers — 54% — said they don’t want the financial burden of a new car, so they’re keeping their older ones running.

One in four drivers said they have neglected repairs and maintenance on their vehicles in the past year because of the slow economy, increasing the likelihood that they’ll face a major, costly repair.

Yet 28% of drivers could not afford a $2,000 repair bill, while 18% could not pay a $1,000 tab.

I’ve found the real secret to keeping a car running is to properly address it by a pet name. For example: “Come on baby, if you get me to work one more day I promise to give you super unleaded the next time we fill up.” Works like a charm.

If you choose to go the route swearing like a sailor at the car, not only do you look foolish, you also get to spend more time with your favorite car salesman.  Ain’t that a treat!

There is a new report out today that says kids aren’t getting as much money from the Tooth Fairy as they used to.

The Tooth Fairy has been hit by the recession. A new survey by Visa says kids are getting an average of 40 cents less under their pillows this year compared to last year. The new going rate: $2.60, though the amount varies according to region. Children in the West get a whopping $2.80 on average, while those in the East must make do with $2.10.

To this I say BOO HOO!!! Please note the sarcasm. I was happy to get a quarter, maybe a dollar if it was a front tooth. One time I didn’t tell my parents that a tooth had come out, put it under my pillow and I got NOTHING.

That was about the time that I gave up on the whole notion of the Tooth Fairy. That is, until I saw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the 2010 movie Tooth Fairy. After watching that, I nearly gave up on everything. I still am surprised that I sat through that one.

This video doesn’t need much explanation.

This woman is just an oddball. You’d think on a place where people go to shop, she would think about selling her stuff.

Nope.  Let’s just chat about nothing.

In case you need to catch up on the first seven Harry Potter movies before seeing the finale, we’ve found a suitable CliffsNotes.

Oh yeah.  It’s told by talking cats.  Whatevers.

Mildly NSFW…

How would I know that this is a X-Ray of Kim Kardashian’s butt?  Because she says it is.

UsMagazine.com is reporting that Kim went to her family doctor to help her prove that her butt was real and not her enhanced with implants.

Ummm… here’s my reactions:

1. Ha!

2. That is a lot of junk in the trunk

3.  If that’s real, that’s really a lot of junk in the trunk.

This is what happens when you mix carpentry and a college style power drinking.  I do NOT want hang with this guy.

No really.  I don’t want to ever see him anymore after this video.

Bonus: stick around for the humorous and brief “drink responsibly” message at the end.

I don’t think so.  This video is spreading on the internets and we wanted to put some rumors to rest.

The creepy glasses-guy is Bill Cullen. You may know him from the 1980’s game show The Jokers Wild. He was also the host of the original The Price Is Right and the game show in the video called Child’s Play.

Child’s Play only lasted from September of 1982-September of 1983.

Dr Dre (Andre Romelle Young) is 46-years old this year.  Born in 1965, he would have been 17 when Child’s Play aired.  Obviously the kid in the vid is not that old.  just three years after this video was shot, Dre was 20 when he helped start up NWA.

While this kid is smart, I don’t think he was laying down beats with Eazy-E and Ice Cube.

Too bad Daniel-san.

The only thing that made Dancing With The Stars relatively interesting this year was the fact that Ralph Macchio was on it.

Now he’s gone.

49-year old  Macchio was eliminated from ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” last night but says he has no regrets about his experience

“I gave 100 percent every week and I’m proud of the opportunity.  The fans were awesome and I loved it.”

Now what surprises me about this all is the fact that Macchio is 49 YEARS OLD!

Holy smokes. I think I’m going to go back and watch the original The Karate Kid.  Didn’t he show off some of his dance moves in the date scene?

WTF.  I think I’m going to have to sell my pets just to pay for gas.

Gas prices hit an all time average high record in Madison today at $4.09 for regular unleaded.

I do believe with gas prices at an all time record, the rev of the engine at the beginning of The Beach Boys “409″ would cost approximately $35,570.00 dollars.
