Smoked Salmon Vodka Posted June 30, 2010 by Doug Diedrich

This has got to taste nasty. A distillery in Alaska wanted to come up with something Alaskan and this is what they dreamed up.  It took them 48 tries before they got it right....How it could be right is beyond me. How you blend fish and alcohol (other than a fish fry) is well......weird. As Always ROCK ON

Thong Collection Posted June 25, 2010 by Doug Diedrich

OK this is different- Happened at Michigan State University.  Seems a student was caught with almost 80 pairs of panties in his dorm room. The 19 year old was a 1st time offender so he only has to pay a fine and do community service.

As the investigation continued- the cops found out his room was being used to collect all the undergarments. Apparently thier was a contest amongst several male students to see who could collect the most pairs of thongs......

No word on whether they stole them or collected them in the more traditional manner....As always ROCK ON

 

Spaghettios Recall Posted June 21, 2010 by Doug Diedrich

Campbell is recalling some Spaghettio's due to being underprocessed. Look at the bottom of the can for "EST 4K" and use by date between June 2010 and December 2011.

The Company also said you should be able to notice bad cans right away- either a bloated can or foul odor when you open it.

 

As always - ROCK ON

In Honor Of Father's Day Posted June 18, 2010 by Doug Diedrich

To Honor Fathers Day which is Sunday - I thought I would shar this:

SOME THINGS YOU'LL NEVER HEAR DAD SAY:

 

Here's the credit card and the keys to my new car - Have fun!

 

Your Ma and I are going away for the Weekend, maybe you should consider throwing a party.

 

You know, now that you are 13, you'll be able to start dating older boys who drive.

 

Well now, I believe I'm lost, looks like we'll have to stop and ask for directions.

 

Have a wonderful Fathers Day and as always ROCK ON

Minnesota Twins Tickets Posted June 14, 2010 by Doug Diedrich

I guess the old adage build it and they will come is true.  The Twins opened up beautiful Target Field this year and already they have sold 3 million tickets.

This is only the second time in their history to do so, the first being in 1988. I do encourage you to go to a game this year if you can manage to get tickets, it's a great ballpark.

 

As always Rock on

Ozzy Osbourne Health Columnist Posted June 8, 2010 by Doug Diedrich

It seems Ozzy is branching out. He is now the new health columnist for the London Sunday Times.  He is now known as Dr Ozzy. He thinks it will be good as he stated he's seen thousands of Doctors and at times thinks he knows more about being a Doc than the real ones. He also by the way thinks he's a medical miracle . Funny....As always ROCK ON
