Your HoD Weekend To-Do Guide
Topic: Housekeeping

FRIDAY: Drink up bitches, it's Saint Patrick's Day! Even though everything that happens on Saint Patrick's Day, the drinking, the booze, the lipstick lesbians, would have been frowned upon by Saint Patrick. But who cares, he's dead, right? Green beer is calling.

NCAA Tournament action has begun! March Madness, if you will. So check your brackets (ours are fucked already - ed.) and get your college hoops on. Green beer goes well with this. And cheer for Texas A&M, who has already beaten Syracuse and shut up the doubters.

SATURDAY: Hang overs. Hang overs across the world.

But you have to get up and drink the remaining green beer because NCAA hoops action continues with A&M beating the crap out of LSU at 12:10PM tomorrow. Then you can continue to mull over why you possibly chose Winthrop to beat Tennessee in the first round because that was the dumbest thing you could've done.

SUNDAY: Hibernate and nurse your hangover. Revel in the fact that you remember nothing of your weekend and spend your last few free hours in complete misery before returning to the salt mines in a few short hours for another week of hell on Earth.

Man Discovers Way to Keep Police At Bay: Knives and Penises
Topic: Weird Shit

A distraught man who had been breaking into houses and cars after being dumped with his girlfriend used an interesting tactic to keep the police back from arresting him. First, he would emerge from the kitchen with a handful of knives and start chucking them at any nearby officers. When he ran out of sharp objects, however, he decided that he had something else he could throw.

His severed penis.

"About 10 feet from the front porch, right on the sidewalk, was his penis," Chicago Police Sgt. Edward Dolan said.

After being tasered and taken to the hospital, Jakub Fik had his wang reattached. It's reasons like this that we surround ourselves with animals instead of women. Animals keep you company, and if you want some female "company," there's always strippers.

NCAA Tournament Delayed After Hungry Dog "Hit" on Hot Dog Cart
Topic: National News

A bomb-sniffing dog who hadn't yet had his lunchtime Kibble "hit" on a hot dog vendor's cart before the NCAA tournament was set to being in San Diego. The entire arena was evacuated and 12,000 people were kept away from the building for two hours.

After a bomb squad robot disassembled the cart and found nothing but wieners, people were let back in. No word on whether the dog was punished or given a free hot dog for his vigilance, but it's still pretty funny. Goes to show you that it's not just the drug dogs that are all messed up.

U.S. Charges Into Northern Iraq to Blow Shit Up
Topic: World News

The United States military announced today that they had begun their largest air offensive in three years in Iraq and had already taken weapons caches that included thousands of guns, rounds of ammo, bombs and bomb-making materials.

This appears to be an attempt to quell the Sunni-run area that has been the site of multiple bombings, which included the mosque bombings that set off an almost civil war. No "Mission Accomplished" banners have been printed yet, and the military statement said this will keep going for a while.

Sweet. They want to blow up their own homes? We'll help.

California Man Sues Himself for Negligence!
Topic: Stupidity

There are times when every driver has done something to their car where they instantaneously thought "well that was stupid. Who's gonna pay for that?" Curtis Gokey had one of these moments.

After reversing his dump truck into his own personal pickup, Curtis did the honorable thing and decided that he shouldn't have to pay for it himself. So he sued... himself... for negligent driving. The lawsuit is technically against the city, but since he was the driver, it's against himself.

Bad news for Gokey though, as the case was thrown out for what we can guess is only "being retarded." But that has not stopped the crusader of Passing the Buck, as he now has his wife suing himself and the city for the repairs. That's not gonna happen either, which is why we give a big middle finger to the Gokey family. You two deserve each other.

The Political Pickpocketing Has Begun! The Democrats Strike First
Topic: Politics

As we checked our email for the fourteenth time in a row, hoping to see that our insurance payment had not bounced out of our massively overspent checking account, we received the first of undoubtedly many emails that we will receive from political candidates in the 2006 election season. Who, you might ask was it from? A candidate whose district we are in? Nay.

Hillary Rodham Horse-humping Clinton.

We're proud moderates, and we H A T E Hillary Rodham Horse-humping Clinton. Hate her with a fire so deep and angry that it almost consumes us before we're able to choke down the medication. Hate her more than the English hated Napoleon. Hate her almost as much as we hate Michael Horse-eating Moore. Yeah, that bad.

So our next question would be, why would we donate money to one of the most manipulative, notoriously bitchy Senate candidates, from New York, mind you, instead of giving it to say, Sully's Liquor Store around the corner.

We wouldn't. Go fuck yourself Hillary Rodham Horse-humping Clinton. No one here likes you.

Corpses Mined for Body Parts! Body Parts Given to Transplant Recipients!
Topic: Weird Shit

If we swore more, we'd be saying something really bad right now. Who are we kidding, we'll swear away. What. The. Fuck.

Leave it to a New Jersey-based medical supply company, Biomedical Tissue Services, to do something so, just, wrong. BTS is now on trial for taking the body parts, including bone, skin and tendons, of corpses and selling them to transplant clinics across the northeast. Not only did BTS not have permission from the family's to mine their loved ones bodies for their parts, but the nearly $5 million in parts sold could lead to the infections and deaths of thousands who received the organs.

Medtronic Inc., the company that distributed the body parts, said that nearly 8,000 pieces were sold and implanted in living people.

Companies who distributed the BTS-sold parts are now being hauled in to testify, including one of the most ironically named companies that could possibly be involved, Lost Mountain Tissue Bank. Just switch a word and all of a sudden it makes you want to puke.

The worst part of the whole scandal is that not only did BTS know what they were doing, but they were covering their tracks, or at least attempting to. So that there wouldn't be speculation or questions, the company would replace bone with PVC pipe and skin with latex. These people need to be vivisected for their punishment. And in case you have never heard of a vivisection, it's a nice form of autopsy that is performed when the individual is still alive and awake.

Jay Leno Offends Somebody? You're Kidding, Right? He Does Something Edgy?
Topic: Entertainment

Jay Leno is a nice guy. We've had the opportunity to meet him once, and we can say that he's a really nice guy, which is why it's even more of a shame that he's a shitty comedian. He used to be good, but then he got the spot on The Tonight Show and ruined himself instead of making it his own like Steve Allen or Johnny Carson. He's the Saturday Night Live of late night: a mad-lib comedian with current/popular words and subjects inserted into the jokes.

Well apparently Leno the Bobblehead (his official mob name - ed.) can still offend people, as he did with a Dick Cheney joke recently that offended a shooting victim's friend. But because he's so sensitive to the people he's trying to "entertain," he issued a quick apology.

"He said, `Hello, Wendy, this is Jay Leno'," she said. "`I'm calling about the letter you wrote and I want to apologize. I just want to let you know we make mistakes sometimes and we don't mean to hurt people.'"

Jesus Christ Jay. You're a comedian, not the goddamn UN. No one cares if you offend someone. Maybe you need to offend more people to bring you back to your comedy roots. Without being edgy, it's just talking, and there's enough of that in late night TV anyway, Jesus...

H&R Block Gets Shmacked Again, This Time By NY Attorney General Rat Boy
Topic: National News

Despite it being tax season, when they make all of their money, it's not a good time to be H&R Block, the world's largest tax preparer. After getting caught by the IRS for not disclosing tens of millions in income and being forced to pay the government $32 million to solve the problem, New York Attorney General Eliot "I'm Not a Ratboy" Spitzer has decided that it's time to knock the giant down off of their peg again and has hit them with a fraud charge, alleging that they deliberately led clients to purchase IRAs that they knew would lose money.

“The conduct described in today’s complaint is particularly appalling because many of those hardest hit were working families who struggle to save,” Spitzer said in a statement. “Instead of providing these families with accurate information that would have allowed them to make informed choices, H&R Block steered them into retirement accounts that actually shrank over time.”


Ouch. Guess Eliot is a Jackson Hewitt customer.

Cowboys Cut Keyshawn! Making Room for T.O.?
Topic: Sports

Today, mere moments after Terrell Owens was cut from the Eagles, our team, the Dallas Cowboys, cut veteran receiver and Bill Parcells favorite Keyshawn Johnson. KJ, who was only scheduled to make about $1.5 million this year, seemed to be a contender for hothead had T.O. made it to Dallas, which now seems like a complete possibility.

With Terry Glenn aging rapidly and KJ gone, the Cows now need a second big receiver to help out the struggling core, which was decimated by injuries in the second half of the season.

Oh yeah, and a backup QB. The Cows need one of those too. We don't trust Drew Bledsoe for a second good season, especially after his travails at the end of last season.

Miss Deaf Teen Texas Killed by Irony, Train
Topic: Texas News

Miss Deaf Teen Texas Tara McAvoy was struck down by a speeding Union Pacific train in Austin on Monday afternoon. Witnesses said that the conductor was frantically blowing the train's whistle while bystanders tried to get McAvoy's attention before she stepped in front of the locomotive.

McAvoy has been deaf since birth and had recently begun to attend college at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. Pageant officials said that she had held the position "with dignity and pride" all the way up to her totally ironic death. To put it in perspective, it would be like us dying by sunburn cause we're so white.

Married Mexican Couple Are the Real "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"
Topic: World News

A very angered Mexican couple decided that it was time to kick ass and end some life as they turned on each other with guns, knives and homemade pipe bombs. Yeah, really. The couple fought until they blew up their own house with a massive gasoline bomb.

Both suffered burns but no serious injury, and since they're in Mexico, they probably won't even do any time and will be back out to fix their rubble and then decide how to blow the fuck out of each other more effectively. The wife had the following to say while in recovery from the weapon-filled rumble (it's paraphrased, since we don't speak Spanish when we're sober - ed.):

"I'm only sorry I didn't cut off his manhood."

Ha. Awesome.

Chef Quits South Park! Expect the Character to Die in Some Awful, Degrading Way
Topic: Entertainment

Issac Hayes has turned his back on one of our favorite programs, South Park, because he says he's having trouble dealing with their "intolerance to religion." Hayes, a Scientologist, should realize that he doesn't belong to a religion and that he's a hypocritical retard. South Park co-creator Matt Stone said it perfectly:

"Trey and I never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin."

It has, after all, been a rough year for Scientologists, what with Tom Cruise going crazy and Travolta not dying. Now, it appears they were looking for a new avenue to spread their religion. After all, their religion is one of the more simpler to comprehend, as it only involves an eons old battle between evil Xenu killing a race of helpless victims and by dumping them into volcanos and then trapping their souls on Earth in "soul trappers" which were defeated by early man which has since evolved into us and every time a human dies and alien soul is released as well which pretty much summarizes "Dianetics," the Scientology bible. Oh yeah, and L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, said the easiest way to get rich was to invent a religion. So pretty much that affirms our opinion that celebrities are the dumbest group of idiots alive. Welcome to the flock, Issac Hayes.

Cat-fighting, Crying Possible Lesbian Former Cheerleaders Epic Comes to a Non-Erotic Conclusion
Topic: Embarrassment

The epic that was the Carolina Panther cheerleader bathroom sex scandal has whimpered its way to a close, loosening the pants of thousands of men across the nation, as uber-hot Renee Thomas and brown bagger Angela Keathley ended their hold on our johnsons in less than excitable fashion.

Keathley was not charged with any crime, yet Thomas was found guilty of assault and a litany of other petty crap and sentenced to a year of probation, 50 hours of community service and a $400 fine. Plus, neither will be allowed to cash in on this whole process, meaning that there won't be any Playboy spreads with the girls provocatively stroking each other's inner thighs while sitting on a pile of banana leaves in the Amazon. This can only mean one thing: the judge was a woman.

Company Patronizes Old People With Large Button Cell Phone
Topic: Technology

Are you old and confused about cellular, or "mobile" phone technology? If so, then we apologize that you stumbled upon this site, because all we're going to do is make you confused and fidgety until you get your medicine. But a company named Emporia has created a cell phone just for you.

Not only does it have large, clearly marked buttons, but it also has a bulbous red emergency button on the back that is not only easily pressed while being searched for in a pill bag, but is easily programmable.

But you might ask the question "what if I forget to charge the batteries?" Well grandpa, there's a AAA battery backup system just for someone like you. So go ahead and distract yourself even further from driving your Astro van blindly down the road while trying to figure out the lid on your cup of McDonald's coffee. Now, thanks to Emporia, you can call and bitch at those ignorant kids who put the lid on too tight while careening down the freeway. Say thank you.

Australian Man Charged With Driving Backwards Down Highway
Topic: Cars/Automotive

An Australian man was stopped and charged with excessively driving in reverse after going more than 25 miles backwards down the Hume Highway between Melbourne and Sidney. His reasoning was simply that it was the only gear in the car that still worked, and he had to drive 56 miles home.

Personally we would've followed at a distance instead of ticketing him, placing bets on whether or not he would've made it the whole way. It's a lot better than giving him a citation for driving an unlicensed vehicle in reverse.

Krispy Kreme Teams with Minor League Team to Kill You
Topic: Stupidity

Krispy Kreme fell on rough times during the Atkins craze, as stocks plummeted and America ate less and less donuts. Out of this came new inventions. KK wedding cakes. Frozen KKs in your grocery store. And now KK has teamed with MLB to create a hybrid burger/donut for one lucky minor league team.

The Gateway Grizzlies will soon being selling "Baseball's Best Burger" at all of their games. For only $4.50, you get a burger, bacon, lettuce and tomato crammed in between a Krispy Kreme donut for a bun. If this doesn't sound equally disgusting and fantastic, you're not drunk enough. The team hopes to sell between 100 and 200 of the 1,000 calorie, 45 grams of fat artery clogger each game.

If we lived in Illinois, we would be all over this. Screw cardiologists. Isn't there job to get you out of trouble, not lecture you?

The Death of a Serbian Slob
Topic: World News

For those like us that did nothing but watch the 24 marathon on WGN all weekend, it came as a surprise that one of the most evil men with one of the goofiest names died Saturday in his prison cell in the Hague of an apparent heart attack. Slobodan Milosevic was being held prisoner pending his trial on war crimes and genocide for his part in the killings of millions of Bosnians, Croatians and Kosovons during the late 1990s in Yugoslavia.

But now a murder theory has started, as a toxicology report shows signs that perhaps a wrong heart medication was administered to Milosevic, and that is what caused his heart to seize. Even bigger in the picture is that Milo sent a letter to a judge only hours earlier, stating that he was concerned people were trying to poison him and that a "heavy drug" had been found in his system earlier.

Even if these rumors are true, we say good goddamn riddance. The man ordered the killings of thousands of innocent men, women and children because they were not Serbian. There's a special place in hell for people like that, and Sloby is probably in that special place right now, getting raped by Satan for eternity. Eat a dick Milosevic.

New Polls Show Even Less Approval For Bush; Damn Ports Deal!
Topic: Politics

President Bush must be cursing his standing up for the United Arab Emirates ports deal, since it's caused his ratings to plummet back towards the mid-30s and has even taken him out of favor in his won party. With just 37 percent of the American people not giving their approval for the President, and his Republican support dropping from 82 percent to 74 percent, it's a wonder he doesn't just show up on TV and give everyone the bird. At least that way he'd get the youth vote again.

Iraq, however, is getting some mixed numbers. 77 percent of you think that the country's going to break out in civil war at anytime, even though we'd put the argument out that it already is, what with the whole one side fighting against the other side, but I guess until they break up into units and start training, then there won't be a... oh, wait... they're already doing that.

Anyway, even with that 77 percent of you getting ready for war, you're split down the middle on whether or not a democratic government will form, with 48 percent saying both yes and no. So which is it America? Which is it? We all know Bush can't get it right, but can Iraq? You decide. Text your votes in now. Seacrest, out.

Inventor of "Action Office" or "Cubcile" Apologizes for Invention From the Grave
Topic: Technology

Many famous inventors and scientists have lamented their creations only after they have been unleashed upon the world. But Robert Probst is perhaps the only to do so from the grave.

Probst, who passed away in 2000, was the inventor of the "Action Office," a movable personal workspace that allowed for flexibility in a bullpen setting, while retaining privacy and the ability to work at a self designed pace. Then corporate America figured out how easily they could take Probst's invention and use it to control whole generations of workers, stuffing them in row upon row of rectangle and sending out hall monitors to make sure no one is poking their head above their four foot high wall to get some real human interaction.

Out of Probst's ingenuity, evil was born. Evil called the Cubicle.

But now, 38 years after the invention was unleashed upon the world and six years after Probst's death, Fortune has discovered writings from which the cube's creator apologizes to the American workers, calling what happened to his invention "monolithic insanity."

So unite, Cubicle workers of America. Your master has cast off your chains from beyond the grave. He has relented, giving you the ability to look at your boss and say "give me something with a door, you prick!"
