A dog park was recently built in my part of town. For those of you not familiar with this concept, it’s basically a fenced in area where dog owners can go to let their dogs run wild and sniff each other. Doggy bliss!
Now I know I may not be the ideal dog owner. And sometimes I forget I have dogs. But I do love them and think of them as family. So after hearing about it, I decide to take the mutts over there. I figured they could use the work out. And it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if they got exhausted from all the running around and actually slept through the night without barking at airplanes.
So we get there. I have Max and Murphy on leashes. Most of the dogs in the park are off their leashes, so I decide to let these two run around. They go exploring. So far, so good. I myself go walking around and Max and Murph just follow me. I think to myself, “Everything is alright”. That’s when things got a little hairy.
MURPHY’S MUG SHOT
An older man and his wife come up to me asking what kind of dog Max is, saying they were curious because their dog has similar features. I am about to answer them when their dog comes up running to them. I guess from a different angle, it looked like the dog was running up to me, because Murphy went bonkers! When their dog got about 2 feet away from me, Murphy jumped all over him. Barking. Biting. Growling.
The older man and I separated the dogs, neither one showing much battle damage. At that point I figured it was a good time to get them home. I was proud for the most part on how they behaved. Any embarassment would have to be reserved for the older man. Because all I heard from him when we were separating the dogs was, “Honey Bear! No Honey Bear! Honey Bear, stop!”. Imagine letting all those people in the park your dog is named Honey Bear. I bet he had a long drive home.

American Idol just got a little classier with this contestant Antonella Barba and the pictures of her floating around the internet.
I think I can save us all a lot of time and simply declare her the winner. Let’s face it. You’re not going to get much more talented than this. I don’t watch American Idol, but if girls like her are competing, then maybe it’s worth tuning in. Apparently besides looking pretty hot, she can sing too.

Apparently this isn’t anything new, but Dane Crook Cook stole some material from a comic with actual talent, Louis CK. Sounds like some stand up he did recently had a couple of extremely similar jokes to a Louis CK perfromance from 2001. You be the judge.
I don’t know. Maybe this kind of stuff happens all the time with comedians.
I will admit there have been a couple of times I thought Dane Cook was funny. I can’t lie about that. But not to the point of rock star status that he seems to have achieved. Overall, I would rate him as an average comic. But now that I know he steals material, I think my sister is funnier. And let me tell you, she’s not funny at all (The beauty here is that I have 2 sisters and they won’t know which one I’m talking about. And I doubt they ever read this blog, so I’m safe).
Apparently the writers for Scrubs agree. Dane Cook blows.

This guy tells a great story about what happened when he was visiting family in Florida and found a swarm of honey bees on the family swing set. It had me rolling! If you share my sense of humor, then it’s worth the read. Also the pictures that were taken were of the ordeal are pretty good. Check it out here.
I think why I find this so hillarious is that some of the things he talks about is what I would have done as a kid. And I also have nothing against taking some bees out. Can’t stand bees. As much as I like honey, I can live without it if it meant no bees. I’m also not too keen on shark bites. So let’s get rid of them too.

This past weekend was NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas. If you’re a sports fan, you probably already knew this. If you didn’t, you’re probably a girl.
As a kid I would love watching the All-Star games. The dunk contests. The 3 point shoot out. It was fun to watch. Now, I think it’s a waste of time. I will find more important things to watch (Futurama anyone?) or do. But there was a minor event the NBA held that I did want to watch: The Charles Barkley – Dick Bevetta show down! Dick Bevetta, a 67-year-old NBA ref , challenged Hall of Famer Charles Barkley to a race a couple of months ago. It seemed to be in jest, but snowballed to possibly the highlight of All-Star weekend. Check out the video below. Definitely worth watching!

I’ll admit it. I have never liked Carlos Mencia. Ask my buddy Rich. He would go on and on about how great Carlos Mencia is. I remember giving his show a chance and thinking what crap it was. Mind of Mencia? This was the best that Comedy Central could do after Dave Chapelle left them high and dry? Please.
Anyway, there is video out on the web showing Joe Rogan (Fear Factor guy) confronting Carlos Mencia (or should I say ‘Ned’) about how Mencia has been stealing material from other comics, including George Lopez. Apparently this has been happening for quite some time! And I have to tell you, it was awesome seeing Mencia squirm on stage trying to play it off. Dude is a thief! You can see the video below.
My buddy Brian makes an extremely good point: Joe Rogan is a comedian? Never thought of him as funny. But the video is comedy gold!

A friend just sent this to me. I *heart* this show. Thanks Jenny!
To those of you that put a lot of stock in today, I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day. For those of you like me that realize this was a manufactured holiday by the corporate world to suck more money out of our wallet and at the same time cause us unnecessary stress, Happy Sucker’s Day.
Here’s a nice little rant from a writer on MSN.com. Why she LOVES Valentine’s Day.
