happy fat tuesday!

make like jean-claude van damme today and get down like a ragin' cajun!

olympic trifecta

the olympics are winding down, so that means i only have another day or two to post juicy torino gossip. first it was, the penn statie and apolo, then bode and an austrian curler who likes to get naked, now our bosom buddy from south beach, lindsay lohan and chad hedrick's best friend shauni davis bumpin uglies.

kfed the mack

my love affair with the man known to most as kfed continues. this guy is now leaching off brits while he is macking on jessica simpson. is he that repulsed by brits post sean preston?

have a heart...

support independent radio.

woxy.com, which is the online off-shoot of woxy of oxford, oh, has been a great resource for independent music for years and without help they will be forced to close shop and as a result we will be stuck with another clear channel station playing 24 hours of nickelback and ticket give-aways to the local monster truck show. you don't have to give them money, as your traffic on their site is enough to tip things in their favor. go to the lounge acts section of their website and download/stream a live performance from any number of great acts.

shoot 'em up!

i know people (gw not included) are pissed about the ports going into saudi hands but this is ridiculous. i was looking for an mp3 online and i came across this...

hell, if i kill me some terrorists i want more than a gd ps3!

the real deal

this is why paul p. wins awards in the post season and aj "my little pony" hawk shags notre dame groupies. a very good read.

curling...who knew

as i have professed in a previous post, i am a closeted olympic junkie. having my ear to the torino streets, i came across this little tidbit. apparently, the austrian women's curling team has decided to participate in a calendar of 'tasteful artistic poses' (i.e. soft-core porn) to raise funds for struggling curling teams worldwide.

(editor's note: what you have just read is easily the most ridiculous string of words ever typed on mfd. i apologize)

one of the teams featured in the calendar is the austrian team, who happens to have a former flame of torino headliner, bode miller, on their roster. so let me get this straight, he can eff up every event he is in and end relations with an athletic, austrian curler who has no qualms posing for nude calendars benefiting her fellow curlers. okie dokie. i don't know about joining bode anytime soon.

go erin...it's yer birthday

i have never really been a fan of stanford. their homogeneous perfection (see tiger woods and mike mussina) has always rubbed me the wrong way. that being said, they are mounting an offensive to win me over and it begins with this story. in short, their lame-ass mascot (a gd tree!) turns out to be not so lame after all, as it turns out she hypes the crowd at standford basketball games wasted (0.157, twice the legal limit in cali). what i would like to know is how the hell erin got caught hittin the sauce as she is concealed behind at least 80lbs of paper maché! she must have been moonwalkin' on center court mid-game or something. well, it looks like her days of dressing like a tree may be over, but apparently getting drunk and falling down does not prevent someone from being, ohh say...a stanford swimmer.

viva roni the raccoon

being an olympic junkie, one finds themselves coming into possession of some pretty random information every two years. this evening, i was alerted to a fellow nittany lion, allison baver, competing in the games as a short track skater only several years removed from her days as a cheerleader at dear old state. while she performed admirably and seems like an all-around swell young lady, she did not medal. maybe her boy toy, apolo anton ohno can comfort her when he is not mugging for his adoring public (aka nbc).

as far as olympics couples go, they are playing second fiddle to my new favorite thing about the '06 games...neve and gliz. what the hell, i ask, do these two have to do with the spirit of the italian olympic event? i have no idea, but what i do know is that these feisty italian lovers could totally rock hidy and howdy's canadian world.

dance your ass off

i know that the barrage of solicitors and mentions in any and all penn state media are a bit much, but when you get down to brass tacks...thon is pretty alright. $4.1 million was raised last year to offsets the cost of treatments that insurance does not cover, as well as other expenses that may disrupt the welfare of the child, such as car repairs, rent, or household utilities. the fund also supports the medical team that cares for the children and helps fund pediatric cancer research through start-up grants and the four diamonds pediatric cancer research institute.

in addition to the staggering amount of money collected, the idea of people dancing for 48 hours is noteworthy as well. if you would like to witness this philanthropic madness you can watch via a number of audio and video streams. they are as follows:
the student webcast
psu public broadcasting
penn state live

donations to this charity can still be made, so if you have not already spent your lunch money for tomorrow, maybe you can donate it.

p.s. despite what ashley may have told you, we will not limiting our philanthropy solely to the nittany lion club in an effort to avoid the crisis we had with orange bowl tickets this year. if you choose to donate, you will be in good company.

true love!

thanks for everything baby, happy lover's day!

why couldn't he have shot himself?

damn, dirty deer ticks!

as the internet's second most popular depot for news on all things hall and oates, we would be negligent in our duties if we did not make you abreast of a major development in the lives of america's favorite soft rock superstars. apparently, daryl hall has contracted lyme disease and has decided to become a national spokesman for the condition. massive doses of antibiotics have helped to control the symptoms but nothing cures like a guest spot as a wedding singer on will and grace.

end of an era

pop the popcorn, dust off the old vcr and set it to record this evening at 8pm est, as our dearly beloved arrested development is finally put out of it's protracted misery at the hands of the fox broadcasting company. yes, sadly you are reading this correctly, tonight is the final 2 hour episode (unless abc or showtime can rescue it) of the show. that being said, i have it on good authority that tobias and co. will receive the proper send off they deserve. buster bluth...gone too soon.

quite possibly the greatest thing of all time

quick thoughts...

it has been a wild and woolly past, few days for the staff here at mfd and as a result we have not been able to put virtual pen to paper and commit our thoughts to the information superhighway. therefore we are going to hit you up with a few quick thoughts. think of it as the lightning round on a game show minus cash and prizes.

•one for the thumb! great year for football in pennsylvania

mike holmgren needs to lose some weight & stop bitching about the officiating (aka sour grapes over getting beat in the super bowl)

•muslims worldwide seem to be well adjusted (see previous post)

brittany and kfed are an endless supply of unbelievable stories (who needs jacko dangling babies over balconies when brit will just let 'em drive down the freeway!). read her defense here.

•kudos to eddie d and his boys on punishing bruce weber for wearing that orange blazer week after week. let's hope that eddie proves to be more parkhill, less dunn.

i have come to realize that the shield is hands down the best show on television. if you are not watching it, you should remedy that.

•pork ribs are god damn good! especially when they come to you from dreamland of tuscaloosa, alabama. if you don't believe me...why then check this out!

mfd...out.

hello pot, i'm kettle.

seriously, is this not the most asinine thing you have ever seen. the muslim world has exploded in violence in protest to being depicted as violent in a political, editorial cartoon. a boycott of goods from denmark or maybe some nonviolent protests outside consulates would seem appropriate, however 10 dead and embassies burning seems a bit much. hamas elected to positions of power in a free election and violence over cartoons...good job guys, way to go.

that being said, doesn't bush calling to 'stop the violence' over mohammed cartoons, seem just a little hypocritical? if i was the leader of a country that had been engaged in war for several years, i think that i would stop and think before i made any declarations about ending violence.

a soothing antidote to all of my depressing rambling about world affairs can be found here (note: turn on speakers and think blissful thoughts).

a dream come true!

if anyone has an extra $100,000 laying around and wouldn't mind lending it to me, i would love to buy meselfs a sub shop!

did someone mention lisa loeb?

if i am not mistaken, mfd was recently the forum for a spirited debate on oil, iraq, and lisa lube/lisa loeb. many of you may have wondered, "...i loved that lisa loeb video when i was in junior high, i wonder what she is up to these days. come to think of it, i wonder if oil and iraq are on her mind." that being said, the crack staff here at mfd have tracked ms. loeb down and we can share her recent activity with you.

editor's note: due to the sensitive material posted in yesterday's winnie cooper post and the moral outrage that ensued, we ask that you view this video carefully. thank you and enjoy.

pennsy pride!

for those of you wondering:

1. that is a terrible towel
2. that gd groundhog saw his shadow...six more weeks

whoa winnie!

as is to be expected anytime a whiff of nostalgia wafts through the air, our senses are heightened and the revelations come a flyin'! the joint doogie howser/jon 'tyrone' emigh post has created a stir and as a result, we are going to take this to a whole 'notha level. that's right, first we whet your appetite with the sultry neil patrick harris and now we are coming strong with none other than danica mckellar aka winnie cooper from the wonder years. what is she up to you might ask, with her days of taunting fred savage with her budding sexuality behind her? well, thanks to a well placed tip from cherokee county we have the answer. oddly though it seems as if ms. mckellar may still be trying to profit from playing the ingenue. interested???

happy happy

"i think turning 30 is a chance to re-identify with yourself."
-neil patrick harris

if turning 30 is good enough for doogie howser, md, it must be good enough for our friend 'jay ray' emigh. happy birthday from mfd and doogie!

if you want more of neil patrick harris's wit...here you go.

maybe you just want to see the doogie howser intro again.

enjoy

Lohan injured in teacup accident
Actress trips on stairs, gets cut by shattered ceramic

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan was treated at a London hospital last week after she cut her leg in an accident at Bryan Adams' home, according to published reports.

is it me or should the headline read 'why the hell is lohan in bryan adams flat'? what the hell is lindsay lohan doing with that canuck? hopefully recording the sequel to the christmas classic 'we're having a reggae christmas'!

do you think that lindsay was seduced by the white t-shirts, ripped jeans, and boots or just the up-tempo pop/rock? this is awesome.

read the full 'teacup incident' here.
