tb_gun-lg-1Top Topic: Should guns be allowed in restaurants and bars?
From a legal perspective, these laws are more about whether guns are allowed in places that serve alcohol. Personally I do not see any reason to need a gun in either place. There are other weapons that should be allowed. Flame throwers in restaurants. If you ordered your steak well-done and it came out rare you don’t have to yell for the waitress. Hand grenades for bars. You want to order a drink but there is a crowd right at the bar. A hand grenade will clear them out quick. Rocket launchers are helpful for parking problems. But guns? Not sure there is a need for them.

tandem-skydiveBrotha’ Fred did it! He jumped out of a plane. They showed vido. Hope you caught it. Fred did Tandem Skydiving which is where you are tied via a harness to a skydiving instructor. Fred said he jumped from 14,00- feet. Morgan asked a lot of questions about skydiving. Including about chickening out at the last minute. SHe also stated she is afraid of heights and planes so might be difficult for her to do. Sounds like Fred had  a lot of fun. He used the company Skydive Carolina for his jump. I’d never do it although my brother has a thousand jumps. All my airplane flights are for both directions. Up and down.

adam-lambert-rolling-stoneAdam Lambert it was announced on the Edge would be coming out. The new issue of Rolling Stone Adam Lambert admits to being gay. He also talks about druug use. According to the AP, Adam Lambert says it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that he’s gay. “I’m proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.” Will this have an effect on Lambert’s career?  Do you care or is this kind of thing now old news?

In other Adam Lambert news, he signed a record deal. He was second in AMerican Idol and second to sign a record deal. He signed with RCA records and will have an album released this fall.

A recent study found that the ring of a cell phone is just as distracting in class as talking on the phone. To prove the point Fred had someone call his cell phone. But he could not get the cell phone to ring. He answered it but was there someone on there or not? Did not mean much when as Morgan pointed out, no one heard it ring.

Kyle Busch won the NASCAR race on Saturday at Nasheville Speedway. The trophy at that particular track is always a custom-made Gibson guitar that is hand-painted by artist Sam Bass. Kyle accepted the trophy and then walked around his race car and proceeded to smash it against the ground. Busch has a reputation as being a bad boy. This probably did not help.
Kyle said he meant no disrespect. He had told his crew earlier they would each get a piece of the trophy. The driver earns millions of dollars each year. Why not purchase a guitar for each of his crew which would be pocket change to him. As a musician myself, this was painful for me to watch.
Sam Bass on Monday was quoted as saying “It’s like raising a child,” Bass said. “You start out with nothing and you finish it and you hope people will take care of it. And it was stunning, absolutely stunning to see that thing destroyed within seconds of him getting it. It’s like raising a child, You start out with nothing and you finish it and you hope people will take care of it. And it was stunning, absolutely stunning to see that thing destroyed within seconds of him getting it.”
After the race on Saturday, Sam was seen smiling in Victory Lane with Busch and had said he was okay with it. His later comments were: “I’m not going to accost him in victory lane or fuss at him and berate him,” Bass said. “If he told me he meant no disrespect, I’m going to take him at his word that he meant no disrespect.”

Morgan & fred then reported on a Full House movie that may be in the works. The series ran for eight seasons and starred John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen and Lori Loughlin.  John Stamos is reportedly inviolved with the project but said no original cast members would appear except in possible cameo appearances.  Do we need a Full House movie? Gimme a Break! No we do not need a Gimme a Break! movie either……

realitystarsTonight’s Top Topic: Do Reality Show participants get what they deserve?
11 People who appeared on reality shows has committed suicide. Paula Goodspeed, Cheryl Kosewicz, Najai Turpin, Nathan Clutter and others all took their own life and the reasons point towards their appearances on reality shows. Susan Boyle a finalist on the reality show Britain’s Got Talent and became an instant sensation checked herself into a health clinic after losing on the show. There are some reports that she was in deep depression.

We have also seen how Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage seems to be in trouble. Hulk Hogan and his family. Brotha’ Fred said “They know what they’re getting into.” These contestants all must sign waivers before appearing on these shows. Is it the shows that are responsible or do these people have issues before they even sign on to the shows? Someone on the Edge line said these people want their 15 minutes of fame. Maybe they want even more than just the 15 minutes and it still is not enough.

Microsoft has launched its “project Natal” gaming system. That is the codename for the upcoming Xbox 360. It senses body movement in 3 dimensions and recognizes voices. The kids will have to have it. Doesn’t anybody play cowboys & Native Americans anymore?

stupid_ponk_ass_robberWe know many people have to post the most (boring) little details of their lives on Myspace, Facebook, twitter, etc. Sometimes people think only a few close friends and family read their postings. Hey when I first put up this site I was surprised how many found it when I was still testing it out! Joseph Northington must have thought no one read his postings. The 27 year old robbed the Security Federal bank in North Augusta, South Carolina. He walked out with $3,924. Police only knew Northington had a scar on his face from a gunshot wound and that he used myspace. They were able to find his Myspace page. He made their search easier by writing “One in the head still ain’t dead!!!!!! On tha run for robbin a bank Love all of yall.” Nine days later he was arrested in Virginia, near his home. Now he is facing fines of $250,000 and a minimum of seven years in prison and a maximum of life.
Fred said “maybe he’s just an idiot.” You think?

Got Milk? Make it chocolate milk if you just finished a workout. there have been numerous studies the past few years. The findings range from as good a drink after exercise as gatorage or other sport drinks to the best post-workout drink. Fred mentioned (jokingly I think) that he was breast fed until he was 12. There actually have been cases of women who had breast fed their kids up to the age of 13. Might explain a few thinsg about fred…

britney-jasonBritney is dating again. This time someone she knows professionally. Oh wait. Everyone she dates she knows professionally except that one friend in vegas. This time it is agent Jason Trawick.

Adam Lambert is dating. Reportedly a guy. Look at these pictures of Adam and one of his boy toys.

Pet of the Week was actually four. Gus from Project Halo brought “The Quads.” Four adorable puppies. They are not ready to go home with someone for three weeks but you can apply now if interested in adopting them. They are a terrier mix. They should grow to  a medium size dog. They have other adam-lamdogs and cats (Gus when you going to bring a little kitty?) you cann them if you click on the List of Dogs & Cats available for adoption. And since someone nicely asked (yes I do requests. Sometimes.) Aussie Pet Mobile is the one mentioned that preps the dogs from Project Halo.
