FRIDAY FULL FRONTAL ASSAULT

As the sage and erudite unelected Mayor of Bird Creek Alaska and regular Bird House bartender Hugh Cruikshank used to tell me in the early 80's:
"The only thing protecting me from a pre-frontal lobotomy is the free bottle in front of me".

With that in mind let's head into the weekend with a few snippets and observations before breaking for happy hour.

Olympic Swimming Icon Michael Phelps was involved in a car accident in Baltimore. Police say that alcohol was not a factor in the mishap. However, they are investigating reports that he was listening to a soundtrack that included songs from "Dark Side of The Moon", "Brain Salad Surgery" and "Skeleton's From The Closet". (What? no "Live at The Fillmore" for long stretches of highway driving?)

Does anyone know that Terrell Owens has a TV show? Does everyone wonder why? Can someone explain to me how that show would fit within the genre of reality TV?

Rick Pitino will be having lunch with Bill Clinton at a restaurant in Louisville on Saturday. Conversation will be a no holds barred, everyone on the table discussion about infidelity. (Doesn't Karen Sypher LOOK like Jennifer Flowers?)

Figure skating legend Scott Hamilton is returning to do a benefit for the Cleveland Clinic.
Officials from the Obama Administration have notified event organizers that the most they can charge for tickets is $10.00, and that only people who work in businesses with an annual payroll of less than $250,000.00 are eligible to purchase them.

Newsday, owners of the world's worst "new and improved" website, announced today that until further notice, comments about Neil Best's blog will appear on Ken Davidoff's blog, comments about Bob Glauber's blog will appear on Steve Zipay's blog and comments about Jim Baumbach's blog are pretty damn funny and spot on, but good luck finding them.

The International Olympic Committee has announced that golf will be on the menu for 2016.
So let me get this straight. I get more of John Daly and Craig Stadler at the expense of Jennie Finch and Cat Osterman?
The judge from two time zones away scores that a 1.9 for artistic merit.

Where's that bottle.......
