Let the mildly homoerotic displays of human strength and agility begin anew!!!

This tells you pretty much all you need to know about Jerseyites. There was a story on NJ.com today about a woman who fell off a cruise ship last night. Now, while some people would feel sympathy for this woman and her family, Jerseyites do not. According to just about every single commenter below the story, she must have been stupid and/or drunk, so she simply got her just desserts. Except for one commenter who suspects foul play.

• It's difficult to fall off a cruise ship UNLESS you're either drunk, doing something you should not be doing or you are somewhere you should not be. Since our society has devolved into an illiterate mass of immature morons, the last people I will ever blame are the ones who are consistently called upon to bail people out of "stupid people" situations.
• Just a wild guess here, but I'm going with an excessive use of alchohol coming into play in this story.
• In the end the taxpayer picks up the tab for these massive searches not the cruise companies.
• I tend to side with some who feel too much alcohol was involved here... yes, you can fall over board on a cruise ship but I feel it is because you did something stupid.
• I myself just came back from a cruise a week ago and let me tell you that the only way you fall off is either by climbing up over a railing and falling (commiting suicide) or some one has to pick you up and throw you over. She did not just fall by accident.
• If you call climbing on and hanging over the rail an accident I suppose it's possible. Not to say I have any idea how this woman fell but it is all that I can imagine, especially only 3 hours or so into the cruise.

Well it looks like the crack detectives have done it again. Despite having no evidence, they have concluded that she was drunk and stupid, and thus deserved to die. It's just a shame that our hardearned tax dollars go toward fishing riff raff like this out of the ocean.

Billy turns 58 today. Yeah, I have kind of been on a Billy Squier kick lately. I am just so amazed by how people in entertainment can wreck their whole career with one bad decision. In this case, of course, it was Billy's decision to dance in a pink tank top in the Rock Me Tonight video (I did a full write up on this Rock Me Tonight video fiasco on the Kerri Lee blog today.) One thing I find interesting about Billy Squier is that he is a legend in hip hop circles because his beats were so dope, and he is sampled constantly. Listen to the song above, then listen to 99 Problems by Jay Z and Dizzee Rascal's Fix Up Look Sharp. And who can forget Run DMC with Here We go, Here We Go, Here We Here We Go. Another thing is that, while I find most non hip-hop music of the 1980s to be "good" solely in an ironic fashion, Billy Squier kicked total ass without cheesy synthesizers and drum machines. So what is he up to now? Here's an article about him from a couple of years ago.

When FOX called and said they wanted to do a story on D-Mac and I, I thought, "How interesting. FOX wants to do a story on Handsomest Men in Philadelphia." But it turned out that they just wanted to do a story on bloggers. Geez, when are people gonna realize that I am not just a brilliant writer, but also a pretty face?

What was the name of Frank Zappa's backup band?

Who played the mom in "Stop, or My Mom Will Shoot"?

Who had a hit with the song "Dear Mama" in 1994?

This actor, who later played the principal in Sabrina The Teenage Witch, played the boss in Mr. Mom. Who is he?

Who was the female star of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead?

Who had a hit with the song, "Mama Told Me Not to Come"?

Alright, gonna post pics of last weeks winners, with "Mom" questions underneath. One guess per person.

Here it is, the best 16 songs about the rain. I expect you to heartily disagree with my selections.

Kick it off at Good Dog at 8 p.m., then move to the Bards at 10 p.m. Tonight's a good night to play at Bards, while the school kids are still in finals. Won't be as packed tonight as it'll probably get again in a couple of weeks. Want some warm up questions? Here's a few I posted about the city of Pittsburgh to get your head right for the Flyers-Pens series.

Hey remember that movie that they kept shutting down Rittenhouse for? And remember how Marky Mark wore his Red Sox hat when he ate at Smith and Wollensky's? Well, that movie is coming out soon, and it looks pretty damn interesting. I didn't really mind Signs or The Village like a lot of people did, but when he did a movie about mermaids I thought he had officially jumped the shark, and I wondered if his next movie would be about unicorns and warlocks. But hopefully he gets back on track here. Whattya think? After checking the trailers (here's another one), do you think it's gonna be good?

Trivia Art and I hit up a couple of new spots last night. First we tried Time, the place where Ludwig's used to be. It was weird being in Ludwig's without pictures of old German leaders on the wall. The setup was still similar, in terms of where the bars and tables were, so I still felt like it was a just a cleaned up Ludwig's. The beer was more reasonable than I had been led to believe, as they have an 11-1 am Happy Hour, so I got a Leffe Brown for only $4. It was a pretty decent spot for a drink, and the only problems I had with the place were music related: it's kind of a dark, mellow, candlelit place where you should talk in hush tones. Therefore, the fact that it has a jukebox kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Some places should have jukeboxes, some shouldn't. This place shouldn't. Also, this is the kind of place that should be playing jazz or possibly ambient music. It absolutely should not play three straight Styxx songs, like they did last night. There is a time and place for Styxx, and Time wasn't the place (Yes, I know I'm clever.)

Then we headed off to Apothecary for a drink on their opening It was pretty cool. The drinks are definitely interesting, using ginseng, absinthe, cucumbers, and a variety of other unusual ingredients. The one I got, the Booty Collins, employed cayenne pepper, and it was excellent. This is a great "fun drink while you wait for your table at Lolita" spot. The drinks are expensive ($10-$15), but the ambience is fun (the bartenders dress in old timey bartender gear) and they seem determined to keep out Jerseyites, Manayunkers, and other assorted riff-raff.

• Quizzo apparently starting to take off in Charlotte. I went to Charlotte once. It is basically an entire city of Kildare's fans. I would love to involve them in a city vs. city smackdown so we could kick their asses.
• Ken Jennings almost gets to ask Jewel a question.
• Some sort of big quizzo event going on at Bally's Beach Bar in Atlantic City on June 7th at 3 p.m. Should be about a $5,000 pot. Don't have a lot of details yet, but will let you know as soon as I do.
• Just have to have to acknowledge one of the teams from last night. The Cornbread Mafia, after seeing the goat video and the question of the week, were convinced that the wild card round was going to be on goats. So they printed out about 8-10 pages of goat facts, and studied them thoroughly in the hours leading up to game time. Sadly, there were no questions about goats at last nights quizzo, but the team is now a veritable fountain of valuable goat info. If you have any goat related questions or concerns, please direct them to the Cornbread Mafia.
