Sad news out of Hollywood.
Bea Arthur died Saturday of prostate cancer---

     . . . Personally,
I'd like to thank her for being a friend . . . traveling down the road,
and back again.

     . . . With Arthur's passing,
men will now have to find another celebrity to think of when they
want to delay “The O”.

 

--"FHM" released its list of the hottest 100 women in the world. 
And if you ask me, it was the devastation of being snubbed yet
again that finally convinced Bea Arthur to just let go.

WOULD YOU BUY A BIKINI
THAT CAME WITHOUT A TOP???

 
If you ask me, Americans are way too uptight about their bodies. 
That's why I was happy to hear that a store in Philadelphia . . .
called Jack and Jill Boutique . . . has started selling TOPLESS BIKINIS. 

 

How are they different from regular bikinis?

 

#1.)  The bottoms are exactly the same . . . but the suit doesn't come with a top.

 

#2.)  Calling them "topless" allows the boutique owners to jack up the price . . . or so I'd assume . . . to as much as $200 apiece.  (NBC Philadelphia)

 

(--So you know, you actually can buy the bikini top to go along with your topless bikini . . . you know . . . if you're a total prude.)

 

(--But let's get real.  This is just a scam to trick dumb people into paying five times what they'd regularly pay for a bikini . . . by calling it "topless", right?  I mean, why couldn't you just wear a regular bikini without the top?)

 

(--Then again, if the whole "going topless" thing starts to catch on, who really cares if it's a gimmick?)

(-- But make no mistake:  This is really just an excuse to show you photos of a well-endowed chick modeling bikinis. . . .)

But, nobody fills out a bikini better than....

Kathy Ireland!

A mother in Millard, Nebraska is upset that her six-year old son brought home a
Spider-Man comic from his school library that she believes is too sexually explicit
for an elementary school library.

The comic features an image of Mary Jane in a bikini

and Physha Svendsen is pushing to get it removed from the school library.

Mary Jane in a bikini. 

Think about Physha's poor son. Because of his mom, the picture of Mary Jane
in a bikini is going to get removed from the library. This kid is going to get his ass
kicked on the playground. Thanks, mom.

Rosie O'Donnell is praising Simon Cowell for his genuine reaction
to singer Susan Boyle, and says she is yet another fan who marvels
at Boyle's voice.
Rosie O'Donnell and Susan Boyle don't have a lot in common...
one's a dumpy broad who has never been kissed by a man, t
he other's a Scottish singing sensation---

Susan Boyle

Don't judge a book by its cover is a lesson we can all learn from Susan Boyle. 
She's the latest Internet singing sensation whose performance on
Britain's Got Talent shocked millions and dropped more jaws than Mike Tyson
in his prime.

The 47-year-old goofy-looking woman, who has never been married or even kissed,
 threw a big curveball at a skeptical and judgmental TV audience by belting
out a stunning performance.
Susan Boyle's awesome performance from Britain's Got Talent.
It's the feelgood story of the month!

(Last week, a total unknown . . . this week, the world's biggest star. 
Find out more about her with today's list of the . . .)

 

***TOP THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SUSAN BOYLE***

 

--Not just dowdy.  Also frumpy.

 

--Believe it or not, she and Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife are two different
people.

 

--Not nearly as impressive as Susan Goiter.

 

--When your only job is to ring the church bell, there's not much else to do
but practice your singing.

 

--Is currently on Minute 6 of 15.

 

--Is beloved stateside for her role as Hurley on "Lost".

Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle was offered $1 million to lose her virginity on camera, and $2 million not to---

 

Frank Sinatra's My Way has topped a list of most popular funeral songs. And the least popular song? N'Sync's "Bye Bye Bye"---

 

Pirates on the high seas have attacked 79 ships this year, including two more yesterday. In fact, officials say the only place where pirates aren't a threat is on the baseball field---

 

Leaked documents revealed that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was tortured hundreds of times. Oddly enough, some people have a problem with this---

 

--The CIA waterboarded an Al-Qaeda detainee 183 times.  But not Nic Cage once.  So their attitude towards bomb-makers remains inconsistent.

 

Despite making $1.2 million from 2000 to 2004, Barack Obama donated less than 1% of his earnings to charity. Apparently he only likes to give away other people's money---

 

--Bank of America posted a $281 billion first-quarter profit, which surprised everybody.  So, if you were one of the thousands laid-off by B of A, rest easy . . . they're gonna be okay.

 

--The Hollywood actors have decided not to strike.  Still no word on what Steven Seagal's decided to do.

 

--Carmen Electra had a birthday yesterday.  Carmen is now 37 . . . double D.

MASS MURDERER TERRY NICHOLS SAYS HIS PRISON DIET
HAS LEFT HIM WITH "CHRONIC CONSTIPATION AND BLEEDING
HEMORRHOIDS":

 

Remember TERRY NICHOLS?  He's that guy who . . .
along with TIMOTHY MCVEIGH . . . killed 168 people, including 19 children,
by blowing up a federal building in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

 

--Well, Nichols has spent the last several years locked up at a Supermax
facility in Colorado . . . and he recently filed paperwork complaining that
his low-fiber prison diet has left him with, quote, "constant constipation
[and] bleeding hemorrhoids."

 

--As a solution, Nichols has made several diet-related requests
of the prison, including:

 

#1.)  All foods made with refined wheat flour be replaced with
foods made of, quote, "100% whole wheat"

 

#2.)  More fresh, raw fruits and vegetables

 

#3.)  No more deep-fried foods be served

 

#4.)  White rice be replaced with brown rice

 

#5.)  No more "puffed wheat" cereals be served 
(Smoking Gun)

 

(--We're all thinking it . . . so I'm just going to come out and say it.  Hey Terry, you a-hole, if you wanted to be able to pick and choose what you eat . . . you shouldn't have killed 168 people.  Enjoy your hemorrhoids, D-bag!)

For no particular reason,
here are pictures of horses with hair extentions.

 

WOULD YOU STICK YOUR HEAD IN A TOILET
TO PUT A MURDERER BEHIND BARS???

Right now, a prosecutor in northern Wisconsin is looking for a female volunteer . . .
 around five-foot eight-inches tall and 140 pounds . . .
who's willing to stick her head INSIDE A TOILET.  Why? 

 

--In 2002, 28-year-old Genell Plude of Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin
(--in the northern part of the state, near the Michigan border),
was found dead in her bathroom. 
She'd taken several pills used to treat migraines . . . before drowning in the toilet. 

 

--Now, Genell's husband claims Genell had been depressed and that
her death was a suicide.

 

--But after an "expert" witness testified it would have been physically impossible
for Genell to commit suicide the way Douglas described . . .
Douglas was convicted of drugging Genell and holding her head in the toilet
until she drowned.  (--Still with me?)

 

--Anyway, last year, Douglas' conviction was overturned after the court learned
the "expert" witness had lied about his credentials. 
So now, the prosecution wants to conduct its own set of toilet tests . . .
in order to use the information against Douglas at his retrial in October. 

 

--But . . . like I said . . .
they need volunteers who are willing to stick their head in a toilet. 
(Sheboygan Press)

(--I know this isn't the best gig in the world.  But if you fit the physical criteria
and you're willing to volunteer for the toilet test . . .
I'm sure we could come up with some monetary compensation for your trouble. 
Any takers?)

GeekSpeak - PHISHERS CHANGING BAIT

People running E-mail scams are upping their scams.

Forget those old hoaxes from long-lost princes of Zamunda

who ask you for your bank account number so they can reclaim

their throne and pay you back 10 times over. These days, phishers

are getting more clever.

 

A popular new scam involves E-mails that seem to come from Paypal

and hope to unlock your financial information. The online payment

company has taken a proactive stance, and has worked with Google

and Yahoo to have them block E-mails that didn't have the company's

special digital signature.

 

Paypal's security chief says that the two companies are now dumping 10-million

phony messages a month.

 

Also on the phishing front is a new approach called smishing,

which uses text messages to get an E-con going.

Experts also see an uptick in malware, which hides on your computer

to collect credit card and bank information, which gets transmitted back

to the scammer.

INTERNET COMPANIES WANT TO CHARGE BY THE MINUTE

We dodged a bullet, people.

Cable and Internet giant Time Warner Cable wants desperately to charge
people for their usage of the Internet just like cell phone companies do.

They want to charge people based on how much information they download.

You can see where this is going ...
They want to make a killing when more movies are getting downloaded.

But they recently scrapped plans to test tiered billing for high-speed Internet
customers while the "customer education process continues."

Internet companies call it "consumption based billing."

You can call it "paying more" because if Internet providers wouldn't make more
money from such a plan, they wouldn't even bother to offer it.

Time Warner still plans to provide customers a tool to measure how much bandwith they use.

SOME DORK RIGGED UP HIS OFFICE CHAIR TO POST TWITTER UPDATES

REGRET WHEN YOU'RE 40: 
I don't know about you, but when I was young . . .
I thought I had it all figured out.  But now that I'm a little older . . .
I've started to realize just how much I have to learn. 

--With that in mind, here are TEN things people do in their 20s . . .
that they end up totally regretting in their 40s. 

 
#10.)  Body piercing:  It might seem cool to have crazy stuff sticking out of
your face when you're 22.  But when you're 42, and you have a half-inch ring
stretching your earlobes, you'll feel like a moron at a business meeting . . .
if you can get a job where there are business meetings.
(--Don't believe me?  Take a look at some idiots who clearly didn't get
the memo on that one . . .) 
 
#9.)  Sexy Internet photos:  Here's a scenario for you . . . 20 years from now,
your kids are surfing the Interweb, and they stumble across pictures of YOU,
their mother, doing body shots off a random, sweaty Latin guy. 
Need I say more?

#8.)  Tattoos:  Remember how much you loved "Sesame Street" . . .
before you got older and outgrew it? 
Well, that's how you're going to feel in 20 years about all the stuff you like now. 
Think about that before you run out and get your next tat.


#7.)  Choosing the "ho" over the "bro":  Yes, she was smoking hot . . .
and she actually let you have sex with her. 
But when she cheats on you in 20 years, you're going to wish you'd chosen
your buddy . . . who is now long gone . . . over the slut.

#6.)  Getting married too young:  You can get married any time.  But
your days of violating 20-something ladies has a shelf life. 
So you might as well live a little . . . before you throw it all away. 

#5.)  Not traveling enough:  It's hard to travel in your 20s . . . because
you're so poor.  But do you really think it's going to be any easier when you're 40
with three kids, two mortgages . . . and a 50-hour-a-week job? 
Don't fool yourself.

#4.)  Not finishing school:  You thought you were smart pulling down a fat
paycheck while your friends were paying off student loans. 
But you won't feel so smart when you're still making the same amount at 45 . . .
and your friends are cruising around in new BMWs. 

#3.)  Smoking:  It's the coolest thing in the world when you're young.  Too bad
you may be dead by the time you're 50. 

#2.)  Bad credit:  That 50-inch plasma TV was pretty sweet in your bachelor pad. 
But you won't think it's so sweet when you're still paying it off . . . in the year 2025.

#1.)  Not spending more time with your parents: 
Hanging out with your parents isn't that hip when you're 20.  But let's face it: 
Your parents love you WAY more than they should, they're always there for you . . . and they aren't going to be around forever. 
(Coed Magazine)

***FIVE WAYS TO STAY ORGANIZED***

 

When little chores pile up, they become overwhelming.  But if you find ways
to keep those chores in check, you'll be less stressed and more capable of
tackling bigger, more-important issues.  Here are five practical ways to take
care of the little things in life . . . 

 

#1.)  FOLLOW THE "ONE-MINUTE RULE".  Don't postpone any task that
can be done in less than a minute.  Throw all your dirty laundry in the hamper,
or sort through junk mail as soon as you get it.  Doing little tasks like that
quickly adds up in the long run.

 

#2.)  TIDY UP BEFORE BED.  Take five to ten minutes before bed each night
and pick up around the house.  Putting things in order is calming, and it can
help you sleep better.  Plus, waking up to a tidy house is a great way to start
your day.

 

#3.)  DO A DAILY ERRAND.  Keep a list of things that need to be done but
aren't urgent.  Then do one every day.  One errand is manageable, and if you
keep at it, you'll end up running through your list.

 

#4.)  BEFORE YOU KEEP ANYTHING, ASK YOURSELF, "DO I NEED THIS?". Most people accumulate junk.  But if you throw out and recycle your old bill
stubs and magazines, your house will remain clutter free, and you'll have less
tidying to do. 

 

#5.)  KEEP A DAILY NOTEPAD.  Instead of writing notes and phone numbers
on whatever scrap of paper happens to be closest to you, train yourself to
write them all in one place.

 

--At the end of the day, copy anything you need to keep, then toss the list
so you can start fresh the next day.

Brian Dawkins to give tickets to fired Eagles employee

Last month,
Dan Leone was fired from his part-time job with the Philadelphia Eagles
after criticizing the team for letting veteran Brian Dawkins leave via
free agency. Leone was a seasonal game day employee, which meant
he worked during the Eagles' 10 home dates each season. His termination
meant he would have been unlikely to attend any of those games in 2009.
But now help is coming from an unexpected source.

"I thought it'd be a good gesture. Had I not ...
signed with Denver, that guy would still have his job.
Obviously, he made a decision and out of emotion said
something. He was one of probably thousands and
thousands of Eagles fans who felt that way. That didn't
surprise me, that someone said that on their Facebook.
It did surprise me that he was let go, though ...
I felt it would be a good thing, to reach out to that
individual and just let him know how much I appreciate it.''

STUPID STUFF FROM THE INTERNET: Cleveland Tourism Video

Tourism bureaus always know how to paint a pretty picture of a city, but
 imagine what a commercial for your hometown might sound like if it
were brutally honest. One Cleveland native imagined it and then created it,
and the finished product is hilarious. Oh and just for the record, we happen
to think Cleveland is a fine town. The pierogies are yummo!

Computer geekdom has reached a whole new level.

IT TURNS OUT SUCKING UP TO THE BOSS . . .
ACTUALLY WORKS:

NOBODY likes the office suck-up because . . . why would you? 
So I'm disappointed to report that . . . according to several new studies . . .
kissing up to the boss actually WORKS.  Listen to this . . .

--A study from the University of Texas found that workers who constantly compliment
the boss, do personal favors for the boss and never challenge
the boss's ideas . . . are 64% more likely to be appointed to a corporate board.

--And a study from the University of California at Berkeley found that job
applicants who use ingratiating behaviors during an interview . . .
are 20% more likely to land the job.  (Yahoo News)

(--So what can you take from this?  You can either alienate your co-workers
by becoming a brown-noser . . . or you can kiss your career goodbye. 
They didn't teach you that one in college, did they?)
