"Evil Meat Eaters!"

Now I think we should look out for our furrry friends just as much as the next guy. However, I think the people at PETA are just a bunch of nutjobs.

To support my claim read this from WPVI-6's webpage.

"Bad Joke Wednesday"

CHICKEN COOPS

Q: Why do chicken coops have two doors?
A: Because if they had four doors, they'd be chicken sedans!

"Spider Hole Myth?"

Could the US have just made up the Saddam in a Spider Hole a story? One marine says that is not the way it went down. Instead, Saddam was found in a modest dewelling and actually fired back the US soilders. That found him.

The spider hole was said to actually have just been an old well. Why America would have made this up is unclear. I guess it make Saddam look a lot lamer. I don't know how much credit I give this story though.

Regardless here is the story link.

Gee, I sure wonder what DREW thinks.

"Super Sunday"

Meh

"JR & Others WHA Bound"

The WHA is going full steam ahead with their spring tournment. They have confirmed the not only Jeremy Roenick but a string of NHL-ers (oddly all current or former Flyers) including Sean Burke, Robert Esche, Chris Chelios, Mark Recchi and former Philly goon Jim Cummins.

In fact a new list has just been posted.

The tournment starts May 20th.

"Come H E Double Hockey Sticks or High Water"

There is going to be a 2005-06 NHL season. Or thats what the owners are saying at this point. Yes, they plan to have a season. Puck will be dropped.

That is even if a CBA (collective bargining agreement if you forgot) is not reached. Of course this would mean they would use replacement players. Hopefully, not including Keenu Reeves.

So, in stead of JR, Gags, Brash, and Silent bob at they WATCH OVER YOU center next season you could see Peter White, Joe Foligno, some dude that works at the skate zone, the guy that waited on you at P J Whelians, and NHL players who could give a hoot about hard caps.


I mean there might be some AHL players showing up.

My question to my two readers is would you even watch if you didn't have a clue who half the team was? Also I would really like to hear from soon-to-be lawyer Drew about how legal this actually is and what moves the NHL PA would take to rain on the owners parade if they go through with this threat.

"Echelon Stall-Mart"

This past Thursday Voorhees residents were supposed to meet to vote on the zoning regulations that would green light the Wal-Mart being built and the empty Penny's being torn down.

However, it never happened. Mere days before it was going to be voted on mall owner PREIT yanked their request to have it put to a vote. Some think it was a move in order to cool off the Voorhees residents who were all ready to shoot it down. In the weeks leading up to the date the anit-wal mart people had grown more vocal.

Others wonder if they are trying to fudge their plans to make it more appealing.

Now most people complaining about the Wal-mart (besides Grocery Store Unions) are more upset about the size, and the traffic it will draw. Lions head plaza is empty, most of the Bradless shopping center is dead. The Wal-mart would bring people in. They would have a new entrance with a restaurant where J C Pennys will be.

I don't know even if people didn't want it because they were afraid of Wal-mart knocking other stores out, I would have to point out that that section of Voorhees is already in dire straights.

Dire straights.

We got to move these, refridgerators we got move these color TVVVVVVVVVVVVVVS .

"That's Just Nasty"

One of the Pizza chains (pizza hutt or domionos I forget which) has these pizza sticks out. The thing is the show this dude, his pizza stick in ranch. That is awful. Just awful. Who would do such a thing? The other sauce is, um more red sauce which seems pretty odd to me. The ranch stuff is just nasty. I had hard enough time when Jenna used to dunk her Starview chicken tenders in ranch. How she could to that when the honey mustard was so damn good always baffled me.


MMMMMMMMMMM Starview chicken tenders.........::::Drool dipping out of mouth::::

"Royce!"

I asked everyone to tell their best Royce stories. Royce promised that he would tell us the time he almost drowned. To my knowledge he never did! I am sure lots of people would like to hear that story. Certainly, the ones that are at work reading this right now and slacking off.

"WHA SPRINGS Into Action"

Now that the NHL is in a coma. The WHA is trying (again) to come to life. Unable to get a season started with limited interest on behalf of many potential owners, a tournment will be played this spring. The WHA's commisoner Bobby Hull (NHL hall of famer) was so confident there was going to be a season, that they actually had a draft last spring. Many NHL players were selected including Flyers forward Simon Gagne who was first overall. Phil Espisito has joined the league. Perhaps there will be a WHA season next year. Not sure how many teams will actually play and who they will be.

Check it out.

"Bigger, Badder, Whiter?"

******************11 30 am update******************8
Heard as low as 4-6 to as high as 10-12 (on NBC 10). Very tricky. Somehow I think its going to change over into rain. Ah, and Jamie Foxx just won best actor. Am I the only one, that is totally sick of hearing about Ray Charles?




Ah, a N oreaster. If you live in this area you know them well. However, in the winter they can be even worse with snow and ice. There is a pending storm and its more erratic then a micheal richards routine (the Seinfeld comic not the Flyers prospect).

Some say 3-6 inches like last week. Which wasn't that big a deal, but certainly enough to get the day off for many people. However, Rob Guriano seems to think we are in for quite a bit more then that. He doesn't seem to buying into the notion that many others are that it will change over to rain.

Now he hasn't released an official prediciton yet. However, reading his lastest column one wonders if he will go out on a limb and risk being the next John Bolaris.

At any rate. Looks like its going to be pretty nasty starting tomorrow morning. As always I will be excited to see what happens. However, I do have some stuff that I would rather not see cancelled this week. Old Man winter cares not.

"RIP Y-100"

AFTER ALMOST 12 YEARS MODERN ROCK STATION IS DEAD

Next to the gravestones of WDRE and EAGLE 106 now lies Y-100.

No more Preston and Steve.

No more Cathy.

No more Camp Out for Hunger.

No more Y-100 festivals or FEASTIVALS.

No more Bizzarro Files.

No more hailrous Micheal Jackson jokes.

No more YOU GUYS ROCK.

103.9 a R&B/ Hip-hop station is now there the modern rock station used to be. They are (were) owned by Radio One, and they want to "ubranize" their sound. So, now Philly has no modern rock stations. They do have a handful of the "ubranized stations" though. 103.9 will now be black gosspel.

Is there any modern rock stations from South Jersey that I don't know about that I can put into my radio?

After almost 12 years I figured we were safe as far as the modern rock stations getting the rug pulled out from underneath them.

Pretson and Steves morning show wasn't even given the chance to have a finale. Which isn't uncommon in the radio business. Likely out of fear of disgruntled radio talent from breaking FCC laws and simply bashing their soon to be ex-bosses.

Supposedly they are WMMR bound. However not for 6 months. Usually legally they cant work for another station for 6 months.

Truely, a sad day. Since it was the morning show I enjoyed the best. Now in place of them is Moonie & the Pooch. Whoever the hell they are. Im truely upset, and im sure so are lots of other radio listeners.

"Whacky Storm Out of No where"

A whole bunch of crazy stuff is going on weather wise out west. Well we can't quite compete with that here. Thankfully. HOwever, a storm system is about to slip up the coast and run into cold air. Forecasters (surprise) are all over the map (pun intended) with this one.

The closer you are to the ocean (assuming my readers are all NJ residents) the more snow you will get. I have heard 2-4, for Philly metro to as high as 7 inches(I doubt that). At the very least 7 inches down in Cape May area. So, good news for Beanz perhaps if he wants a day off! Could start as late as tomorrow night and as early as tomorrow morning! Its that whacky. Stay tuned folks. Check out the map break down.

"For Love or For Money?"

I don't have the link for it. In all fairness I guess I don't know all "the facts". I know I also shouldn't be laughing everytime I see this.

However, I am sure you have heard about the guy who is sueing the Eagles.

Apprently the man was doing work for a company hired by the Eagles to shovel snow off the seats during the "Monster Storm" right before the Eagles game. He said he just LOVED the Eagles so much that he was honored to shovel snow so Eagles fans could enjoy them game. He just loves those IGGLES.

However, the man perhaps was so excited over shoveling snow for his football team that he left his gloves at home. The company was nice enough to provide him with a shovel, but they didn't give him any gloves. Now he is sueing the Eagles, because he is losing a bunch of his fingers due to frost bite he got for having his hands exposed in dangerously cold weather.

You would have thought that after feeling left his hands, or some one said.

"Dude your hands are all discolored"

He might have left or something. I mean I am sure everyone was like (all day long).

"Dude, no gloves? What are you crazy?"

His response? Perhaps.

"Yeah, man CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZY ABOUT THE BIRDS! Lets Go Eagles!"

Very, bizzare. Why the hell would you have left the house with out gloves in the first place? If he showed up in sunglasses, shorts and sandals could he still sue? I mean I think the Eagles just assumed people would just dress. I don't like it was one of the biggest winter storms to hit Philly in years. Perhaps, I don't know. Like it is the dead of winter.

I also heard he was out there for around 30 hours. Now I guess they worked really hard, but I can't imagine he was out there that long.

"Call Them Up!"

This is pretty funny. Apprently someone hacked into T-Moble and published numbers and emails of famous people. Quite a lot of them were all in Paris Hiltons cell phone. Sorry folks the numbers arent there, but if you want to read more just click away.

"It's Snow Big Deal"

Well the snow will start falling later today. Nothing has really changed, although the warmer air might even be around longer. Even if we do get some snow its turning to rain and turn to slush before tomorrow morning. So, it might look cool but it won't last long enough to sled or shovel. Looks like Old Man winter is getting ready to retire for the season. No luck next week either. Most people forcast 6 inches at worse. I still say about 2 inches.

"Over & Over Again"

Um the NHL season is cancelled for real, for real.

The two sides met for 6 hours in NYC and decided they werent going to get anywhere and are now focused on getting a 2005-06 season. Although, who knows how serious they will make their efforts once they part ways tonight.

No idea what the fall out this time was since a cap of $45 or $46 seemed to be on the table. People were flying high last night and were thinking pucks were going to be dropped March 2nd.

The whacky ride of will they or won't they might have finally come to an end.

"Sitting & Waiting"

The sides are meeting. Reports late last night about the NHL having a season after all may have been premature.

Check it out.

"Swing and a Miss, For Old Man Winter"

Ah Old Man Winter still has some power his bag of tricks. Sunday into Monday is the next shot of snow. Seems odd to think of such a thing since it was insanely warm for the most part the last week.

Now its cold again, but Old Man Winter's timing is fairly poor to bring in snow. The storm will come just as it gets warm, so it will change over to rain early Monday morning anyway. So, not only is it snowing on a day when tons of people have off anyway, it seems that the roads will be safe early Monday.

They are capping the worse (or best if you like snow) case senario at 6 inches. I don't even see us getting any more than 2 or 3 inches at the most. The storm isn't worth hyping up as the news station have been since last night. The timing is off, and if you notice its going to be well over 50 degrees on Monday. So, I don't know baring a big change for Monday, how they can sell this as anything to worry about.


Could be our last chance for noticable snow.Check the map out for updates.

I may update the situation if need be on TUCKERS WORLD. As a loyal service to both my readers. I have to go bake cookies for my neighbors. Won't they be happy when I knock on the door and run away.
