August 13th--yep, FRIDAY THE 13th-- 2010
Aw, Friday -- the "happy ending" to the massage of the work week.
Radio Shack says it's going to open mini-stores inside Target stores next spring. This sounds like a premise for a Leonardo DiCaprio movie.
OK, we need a law where commercials can't say "in time for the holidays" before they're done saying "back to school."
A British ice cream company is now selling an adults-only ice cream made with Viagra. If your Popsicle lasts more than four hours, you should see a doctor.
Can't you see the dads pushing the kids out of the way when they hear that music playing?
I can't imagine an ice-cream truck version of "Let's Get It On".
A chunk of ice four times as big as Manhattan has broken off Greenland's main glacier. Emergency crews are busy trying to round up enough Scotch to capture it with.
It's going around: The day before Chelsea 's wedding, Hillary asked her, "Have you had sex with Marc yet?" Chelsea replied, "Not according to Dad!"

Remember, that's not summer rain: it's merely lawn Botox.
Disney World is getting ready to open a resort for dogs and other pets. Signs are already posted: "You must be able to sit up, beg, shake a paw and roll over to ride this ride"

Seriously -- if I throw a tantrum, grab a couple of beers and slide down an emergency chute, I become a national hero? How could I have been so responsible?

Popular Facebook page these days: "I don't need anger management, people just need to stop pissing me off."
Mel Gibson's father is speaking out, claiming that the Pope is gay! You know, what that family needs is a really good case of laryngitis.
Rush Limbaugh's wedding pictures are now posted on his Facebook page. For clarification's sake, that would be this year's wedding.

Jet Blue has a new slogan. I can't tell you what it is, but the second word is "You".
They're going to do a male version of "Eat-Pray-Love". It'll be called "Eat-Sports Section-Bathroom".

- Pissing off a Jet Blue Flight Attendant
- Seeing Mel Gibson on your caller ID
- Being the manager of the Seattle Mariners
- Becoming the personal trainer of Donald Trump's hairpiece
- Having the identical ankle bracelet as Lindsay Lohan
- Being promised that you'll have a job as long as Larry King has a job
