Can't stay up late to listen to Sloan? Neither can we.
Scott Sloan's show is produced by Daniel Gleason.
THE SORDID HISTORY OF OUR BOY
Scott Sloan had a dream. Like TV’s Mike Brady he wanted to be an architect, live in a house he designed and have a backyard covered in Astroturf. Yes—he would study, work hard and be like Mike. What kind of go-getting self-starter rolls the career dice and walks away from prestige, fortune and a closet full of sweet looking gingham slacks to go in to broadcasting? OK, truthfully Scott didn’t have a choice in the matter. He barely could pass basic algebra and visions of future liability suits due to poor calculations ended his studies of design. He needed a career where sloth, introversion, pessimism, goofy looks and the inability to balance a checkbook didn’t matter. Radio would be a better fit and you can wear whatever kind of pants you like. After working in a few cities including Milwaukee, Charleston and Toledo, he joined 700WLWin 2001. Scott’s show is a reflection of the Ritalin fueled times in which we live: A hyperfest of satire, observational humor, current events, hot issues, and just plain goofin’. Because it airs so late management doesn’t actually listen to the show and as far as they know, our boy plays ten songs an hour from Cincinnati’s biggest on-air music library “with your favorites from 70’s, 80’s 90’s and the hits of today”. Please don’t blow his cover. Oh, and if you’re up give him a listen. If it doesn’t work out he’s young enough to still get back into design and could possibly build something you or a loved one would use. And when it collapses in mess of twisted steel and concrete, you’ll be wishing you had listened. Keep your loved ones safe by keeping Scott Sloan on The Big One.
Easy Like Sunday Mornin' She has 100 Million views for no reason whatsoever, except she looks good and has a Russian accent. The internet is too easy:
Thanks to Danny for the tip.
Your Dog's A Jew In the over-the-top "pet parent" society in which we live, it's no surprise someone would have a bark mitzvah for their dog. Psst...somebody tell the animal about Kosher meats. Oy.
Ben Mauk He's become the Victoria Wulsin of college sports. Give it up.
I Recognize All Three Doors Down Back in the spring, 3 Doors Down shot a music video here. I've since forgotten about it, but if you haven't seen the finished product (although I've heard the song 1,000 times):
Thanks to Doug for the tip.
Man running through OTR. Perfect. Glad they didn't rip down Skywalk before they shot the video!
Baby Mice Wine And Other Delicacies
Yup. Those are dead mice. It's like Korean mezcal.
I like food but I fear the word "delicacy". Delicacy is a nice way of saying "here's something you should never, ever eat. We only do it because we want to be different". Caviar? Lobster tomalley? All tame compared to this disgusting list.
She's (Still) Got Legs The debate rages on in Monroe over cheerleading uniforms which violate dress code. While they worry about hemlines, I missed seeing Monroe on the list of the 12 best area schools. Think they have other things to worry about?
Top Ten Best College Parties
Green beer day at Miami, Halloween at OU and post-game rioting in Columbus did not make the list.

Miss Sister 2008
An Italian priest and theologian said Sunday he is organizing an online beauty pageant for nuns to give them more visibility within the Catholic Church and to fight the stereotype that they are all old and dour.
She may be as credible as a Chinese gymnast, but here's my vote:
Whatever the penalty in KY is for bigamy the four guys who married her should get double.
Obamatards With all of the nut jobs in Denver alone, I would expect there to be many threats against major politcal figures. But since it's Obama, LET'S FREAK OUT!!!
Check out the updates at HuffPo, but better still check out the comments below. Two guys are arrested, there's no connection to Obama but it's still...Bush's fault!
Compromising Cheerleaders Cheering is more dangerous than driving drunk while blindfolded with a javelin pointed at your throat. As Time says, it's "unregulated". I've posted this before, but it's still funny:
Why I Love Little Kids: The Honesty Factor
Breaking News: You're Black As the debate over whether Obama is really a black guy or just a good-looking man dipped in caramel, Spike Lee offers the following:
One drop [of black blood], and you're black. The truth is, every African-American is biracial. Go back far enough, and you'll find the massah was in the slave quarters."
My people have been here for 100 years, so there's gotta be a drop in there somewhere.
Pretty good article here as Lee says blacks are not monolithic, as opposed to the racist comments by Chuck T last week.
She's Not Gay, She's 'Heteroflexible'
Female bisexuality is "the erotic new trend (everyone's trying it)," announced Marie Claire magazine in 2006.
A 2005 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appeared to confirm this. It found that while 1.3 percent of women identified themselves as homosexual, 11.5 percent of women ages 18 to 44 -- and about 14 percent of women in their late teens and early 20s -- report at least one sexual encounter with another woman.
Why are more women making out with one another in public? Because guys like it.

Putting The Olympics Behind Us What I will miss the most:
Then again, all of these are coming to Mason for the AVP this weekend. Pretty hot ticket indeed. Now all we need is some pole vaulting.
Another Smoking Smoking Gun According to a new study, movies encourage kids to smoke cigarettes. Isn't this something we've known for a long time, and if so, so what? It's not the job of Hollywood to socially responsible in raising our kids. This is laughable:
The report also lends further credibility to existing media campaigns that have been proven to curb youth smoking, such as the foundation's award-winning truth(R) campaign. In its first two years, truth(R) was credited with 22 percent of the decline in youth smoking, but the annual budget for truth(R) is less than the $36 million our competitors in the tobacco industry spend in just 24 hours to market their deadly products to consumers in the U.S.
The anti-smoking people have a small budget? No, they have the deepest pockets of all as the the study was performed by the National Cancer Institute, a subsidiary of Uncle Sam where there's no such thing as spending controls.
Left In Denver The real highlights of the convention in Denver come on the streets. Language is nsfw, but check out how idiotic and shallow the marchers are.
Hot For Teacher
Some teachers take the summer off. Others work seasonal jobs:
Investigators said Laurie Ann Lewis agreed to meet her client at the hotel as an escort.
She was arrested after asking for $300 to perform a sexual act, police said.
"We opened up a discussion with her in the chat room. She agreed at some point in that discussion for sex for money," said Capt. Bruce Williams of the Houston Police Department. "When she entered the room, the deal was done."
Hey, at least she wasn't trying to have sex with a student, like this woman.
What's Your Goat Count? If you're living in some God-for-saken hole, this site tells you how big your dowry would be. Beat 9, baby!
High Speed Crash Caught On Tape A 27 year old on a crotch rocket 'asplodes in a flame ball. Do you blame testosterone, the bike or...video games?
Study Says Gaydar Is Real The researchers found that subjects could accurately determine in 50 milliseconds — one-twentieth of a second — whether the men were gay or straight about 60 percent of the time. Rule says all the subjects were accurate 55 percent to 70 percent of the time.
So it looks like stereotypes are fairly accurate. Bring on the profiling, then.
With Jacko, Axl and Amy Winehouse on the list, I forgot he went berserk too.
Cheerleader Uniforms Violate Dress Code Remember when the Goshen cheer coach caused a stir last year by her behavior?
Illustrating the absurdity of school dress codes, Monroe High School cheerleader uniforms violate the policy of the school they cheer for!
McCain Has The Ass And he should. Madonna kicked off her world tour and offered a video montage with Hitler, Mugabe and the Senator McCain edited together. Obama was mixed with John Lennon and Gandhi:
Slavery and Hitler are two of the most overused symbols in America. Speaking of, I thought Madonna was British now.
