If you ever wanted to understand how nitpicky actual celebrity/sports agents think about product placement, endorsement opportunities, and the such... well then this little blog from my friends at Octagon might be very insightful. Or not.

.... and ultimately HILARIOUS web site. Hooray for Al Gore! Had he never invented this thing, we'd never be able to laugh at this woman's non-ugly-ugliness!

Once upon a time, seemingly long ago (okay, it was 12 years ago) a listener of mine from the old One-On-One Days by the name of Mark Vocca shared with me his total disdain of Greg Norman. Scratch disdain. Pure, white-hot, H-A-T-E. Welcome to the club, I said. With that, we decided to start chronicling Norman's myriad chokes. Next thing we knew, we had a website, before websites were even cool (1997). I take most of the credit for the copy, Mark takes full credit for the awesome photos and captions. Yes, we still need to update yesterday's gag--o-rama at the British, but give me a week to give the full, proper treatment. In the meantime,

So I was racking my brain trying to remember the make and model of my boyhood tennis racket for a graph in my column this week at OnMilwaukee.com about why tennis isn't as "big" as it once was, and yada yada... and voila, it was INTERNET TO THE RESCUE! Here's my old pride and joy, the antitode to the snobby kids wielding those awful Borg Donnay bug-killers at Tuckahoe Swim and Tennis Club on the mean streets of southside McLean, Virginia. My god, just look at that thing. It's art, not sports equipment! The classy black/tan/gold color scheme. The high gloss laquer finish. Mmmmmahhh! I wished to God I still had mine from back in the day. Mom, if you find it, do NOT throw it out!

For those of us outside of Milwaukee who want to slurp the delicious nectar that is Schiltz in it's pre-1960's retro glory, here's the Pabst website that helps you find whatever brand you were looking for. While I'm browsin', I might just have to stock up on some Natty Bo and Blatz to fill up the fridge. Wait til' the missus finds the butter melting on the counter due to lack of space! Yeeee-haw!!!

Link Of The Day: This Is Not My Dad....

.... but my dad sure was right about the sweet, sweet, glory of good ol' pre-1960 Schlitz beer! It's kicking ass, and I will gladly take my 0.2% credit for being so timely with the details of my dad's somewhat misguided rant that "Anheiser Busch killed Schlitz!" Well lookey, lookey! Buddonkey is fighting off the Swiss in a hostile takeover bid, and Schlitz is pushing one dirty fist out of the grave! Viva La Schlitz! Viva La Schlitz! Viva La Schlitz!

Hoes Up, Parents Down
Hey Steve:

Although the event itself is quite tragic, the means by which it happened and where they ended up made me think of you and the Daily Czabe. After hearing some of your podcasts (I.e.: man hurt riding pet buffalo, man's dog (Caddy) gets eaten by golf course worker's family), I thought this one would make Moe say... "Good God!". Sorry for the warped sense of humor... I blame my mom for that! Smile emoticon RI police: 24-year-old son killed parents with hoe Mark in Nisky P.S. Love the show big time! Will you be doing any new podcasts in the future? Read more ...
