Duke Lacrosse Stripper-Fest ’06 Competition T-shirt

Buy one for your whole team and please give generously to your stripper as she works hard for he money and makes her money on tips.

T-shirts As Social Statements and Security Blankets

T-shirts mean many things to many people. For some, it’s a way to make a statement to the world. For instance, a particular t-shirt made it to the Federal Appeals court in California recently because a student wore it to school on Tolerance day and the t-shirt had an anti-gay message upon it. The student claimed he was exercising free speech and expression. As punishment, the student had to wear an anti-gang t-shirt into the middle of Watts at 2 am, but that’s a different story …

To some others, t-shirts offer security. There’s a great story in the Oregon News Review, about how a U. S. soldier at Abu Ghraib in Iraq found solace in a t-shirt that he had received. This t-shirt was a reminder of home and how he, too would like to be in the middle of Watts at 2 am, wearing an anti-gang t-shirt.

But, nonetheless, (and no nasty emails please) t-shirts do have impact on those around us. For some, they are statements and for others, a simple means to dress up an un-toned, under-used and unusually saggy upper torso.

Ex-Exxon Mobile CEO Pumps Shareholders for Money

Ex-Exxon Mobile CEO, Lee Raymond, is getting a $400 million retirement package from the oil company. So, what do you think he’s going to do with the cash?

Is he now able to afford hardcover books instead of soft cover? Or just hard porn over soft?

Some are reporting that he's going to take a Gandhi-esk approach to his new retirement fortune and work at some of his former filling stations, pumping gas for the patrons. And, when he's through with that he will bend them over their trunks and pump them some more.

Exxon reported record profits last quarter and the price of a gallon of gasoline and a barrel of oil has never been this expensive before. Mr. Raymond is doing his part to make sure gasoline prices stay high, shareholder profits decline and he has enough money to take that dream vacation to Jackson, Wyoming to see the world’s largest ball of barbed wire, nicknamed "Clonia".

What would The Donald say about this? And by The Donald, I mean, Duck.

Naomi Campbell Anger Management Class Bully

Naomi Campbell has blown her top again, according to news reports. Allegedly, Ms. Supermodel Thang attacked and pummeled her maid with a jewel-encrusted phone.

Apparently, Ms. Campbell decided that wasn't enough so she also proceeded to deliver a pile driver, full Nelson, bear hug and the infamous "Claw" to her disoriented sidekick as well. In fact, the supermodel delivered a side kick to her sidekick and a roundhouse kick before making her mew like a kitten before she would stop.

Campbell denies the allegations saying that she will maim, kill and come after with vehemence and violence against anyone who speak out against her.

MSN Video has a wonderful reenactment of what really happened between Ms. Campbell and her maid.

Happy Easter All You Bunnies!

Happy Easter and for those who don't believe in Easter then happy weekend. Woohoo!

Easter, for those who are unaware is when the Easter Bunny rose from the dead on the third day after being crucified on the cross (or something like that). Of course, I could be mixing my metaphors and messing my mixafores here.

But nonetheless, Happy Passover, Happy Easter and don't get any bad eggs this year. Or, if you do, then warn the people around you first before you get that nuclear flatulence thing going in full force.

Woohoo, I say again.

Enjoy!

There's No Fool Like An April Fool

There's no fool like an April Fool and this we saw last April 1 as the traffic to our April Fools website went up 20 times the usual amount. There was so much traffic this year that the site was shutdown for a while on March 31 due to 'exceeded bandwidth'.

The site was up for most of April 1 though and had 3 times as much traffic as last year. It looks like people are finally getting their senses of humor back. Since September 11, 2001, the traffic to the site and the number of April Fools on the Internet had been dismal. Until this year.

I need to point out that we've rolled out a new line of t-shirts on the April Fools R Us website featuring a wide range of humor. One of my favorites is the Pirates Doing Pilates design featured here. But, there are many others worth checking out, so even though it's not April Fool's Day anymore, there's still a lot of humor to check out on that site, so get going!

As comedian Rob Schneider says in Water Boy and other movies, "You can do it!"

Scientists Discover Clams in Space

Documents recently released because of the United States Freedom of Information Act show that NASA has documented proof that clams exist in space. During Ed White's first American space walk on June 3, 1965 clams were spotted floating by in the photos that became outtakes since at that time. NASA had no explanation for how clams could appear in the earth's outermost atmosphere.

After years of not talking, NASA officials have just stepped to the forefront unveiling for the first time, photographic evidence and an explanation for the clams. According to NASA spokesperson, Phil Eastman, "From our research we found that Russian cosmonaut, Alexei Leonov was to blame for the clams in space. Apparently, all of the cosmonauts at that time had a taste for clams, brought them on board and when finished, Mr. Leonov simply put out the trash. Of course, Russia has never confirmed this, but we have it on good source."

Other theories about the clams in space abound such as they were simply an extraneous part of the soundstage in Houston, where the space walk was really filmed (according to conspiracy theorists) and came from Galveston Bay.

No matter which theory you subscribe to there will no doubt be much debate in the weeks and months to come concerning why this information was not unveiled sooner and what to do, if anything, about the clams in space. Apparently, a congressional investigation has also just been launched.
