Just wanted to say thanks to Christine who called in today with some kind words.

She said: if you ever get tired of working in radio, we should remember that there are always people (like her) out there who enjoy what we’re doing.

Those very kind words gave me some warm fuzzies and for some reason, gave me a flashback to my childhood.

I don’t think I could ever get tired of radio….Sesame Street trained me to love it. Happy, happy, boing, boing.

I’m not saying the playoff mustache was solely responsible for The Badger Men’s Hockey team making it to the NCAA Frozen Four, but it might be.

Here’s the publicity photo they’ve posted on the Badger’s website courtesy of UWBadgers.com.

Seems like there’s a common theme that’s tying them together…

There seems to be something different from the original. I’m not sure what it is though…

Rated R – 1h40 -

This is without a doubt the funniest movie I’ve seen this year, and very well may be the funniest of 2010.

Hot Tub Time Machine has a ridiculous premise involving four buddies who go on a skiing weekend. Their room has a…you guessed it…which transports them back to the 1986, where they get the chance to relive a teenage party weekend.

If it sounds like a raunchy version of Back To The Future, that’s because it is. Hot Tub earns such a high rating, because it’s played out in a way that completely mocks the silliness of its own premise. It’s goofy bathroom humor, but it’s also genius.

Adam (John Cusack) is unhappy with the way his life has turned out. Nick (Craig Robinson) has let his dreams fall to the wayside after marriage and kids. Lou (Rob Corddry) is so desperate to relive his glory days, he’s rather take his own life than deal with his reality.

Desperate to break from their monotony, the group, along with Adam’s nephew (Clark Duke) go back to their old teenage ski resort stomping ground, where things are not exactly as they remember. A quick splash in the hot tub, and they get a do-over.

The idea of being able to go back in time and fix what went wrong is one of my favorite movie ideas, because who wouldn’t? Bringing your buddies for the party is just icing on the cake.

Running gags involving a puked-on squirrel , Crispin (who also was in Back To The Future) Glover’s character almost losing an arm and endless sex jokes keep the story moving from beginning to end.

They also play off Cusack’s obvious connection to movies of the 80’s. If you loved seeing Say Anything, Better Off Dead or Sixteen Candles, you can’t help the warm fuzzies from building up again. Rob Corddy though, is a frequent scene stealer with his manic outbursts and Craig Robinson ‘s comic style really round out a party that I would love to have attended.

It’s also noteworthy that DeForest native Sean Anders had his hands on this one, credited with the screenplay. If he reaches out to behind the camera, he’s going to be the next Judd Apatow.

That’s especially true for this pup in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Winston, an 80 pound pit bull-boxer or bulldog mix, began chewing on the tires of the police car, puncturing two tires. He is said to have then attacked two moving vehicles before turning his attention to a newly arrived police car after Officer Holmes called for backup.

     You may be getting your Paula fix by watching NBC soon.  The news is Paula is in talks with the Peacock Network to headline a reality series set in the world of flash mob dancing.  What is that you ask?  Watch the video below from Oprah’s street party thingy last year.  Pretty cool.

You may have heard the story about the potential NFL rule changes under consideration.  I say why bother?

Here’s what they want to do:

Under the new format, both teams would get the ball at least once unless the first team to get the ball scores a touchdown.  If the first team to get the ball makes a field goal and the other team ties the game, action would continue until a team scores again.

Right now, it’s sudden death rules and the kicker often wins the game.  Sorry kicker dude, you’re being devalued under this plan.

They’re trying to equal the playing field, allow for more competition and increase the excitement.  Really, it’s just another way to drag out the game.

I say, why not make all sorts of other fun rules to make it more excitement:

  1. The quarterback has to wear dress shoes.
  2. Allow brass knuckles and butterfly knives for linemen.
  3. Require three break dancing moves after a touchdown.
  4. Randomly pick a team that has to wear their mascot uniforms instead of football uniforms & padding.
  5. Instead of red flags, coaches will get to leg wrestle to resolve questionable calls.

Here’s another, slightly more serious point of view:

As many of you are going through the annual ritual of Spring Cleaning, keep this in mind.  My discovery over the weekend was the oddest and grossest I’ve ever encountered.

Pictured to the right is my dog JD.  He’s generally a great pet.  He slobbers all the time.  He drinks water like he’s a college student at a kegger and eats all things (carrots, towels, socks, cardboard, our answering machine, entire rolls of toilet paper, mail, money from my wallet and anything plastic that ends up on the floor.)  That’s the short list.

While I emptied the fridge this weekend to clean it out, I discovered an unusual amount of dog hair that settled at the bottom, under the vegetable drawer.

First of all…YUCK!I feel queezy knowing dog hair has been that close to my veggies.

Second, I want to know how JD has been getting into the fridge while we’re away and fixing himself a snack.  If he is getting in there, I wonder why he hasn’t cleaned everything out.

Third, if he’s getting into the fridge, I think its reasonable to assume that he’s getting into all other sorts of trouble at home while we’re away.  Maybe he’s watching TV on the futon?  Maybe he’s surfing the internet? Maybe he’s going through our photo albums.  One thing’s for sure, he sure doesn’t vacuum up after himself.
