  • Table Tennis – The Video Game
    posted on May 25 2006

    This video game deserves a post of its own.

    To all you who grew up on the sport that anybody can play – I present to you… Table Tennis the Video Game.






    Awful

    Anybody else just witness the worst duet of all time that was performed by Meatloaf and Katherine McPhee.

    His vocals were all over the place.

    Her boobs were all over the place.

    I don’t care who you voted for… nobody can honestly tell me that performance was anything better than what you’d find in a karaoke bar in Panama City Beach.






    Throwdown in Jack-town
    posted on May 24 2006

    A couple of weddings this weekend in the Jackson, Mississippi area.

    Mauren Ferrell & Brennan Sanders will tie the knot this Friday. However, I’ll be attending the rehersal dinner with Miss Katy Thompson for Chris Smith & Jennifer Moss.

    [Jennifer & Chris - don't forget to let me know which picture you would like from my stash. Europe, Mississippi, or otherwise]

    Woo-Hoo! Party time!!!






    The Hills – 1 Week and Counting
    posted on May 24 2006

    LC’s new weekly dose of teenage drama kicks-off next Wednesday, May 31st on the ultra-conservative, uber-Christian network, MTV.

    Can’t hardly wait – seriousy.

    Most of you know of my addiction to Laguna Beach. I can’t explain why, but I just love that show. Since the new season of Laguna Beach (set to release this summer) looks to be a cheap immitation of seasons 1 & 2, I only hope that The Hills can live up to the hype that surrounds it.

    What to expect:

  • LC gets a whole new gang of girls – most of whom are too good for the guys they are dating, yet stick around for a daily helping of verbal abuse and tell tale signs of an unhappy marriage.
  • A new gig, and one at Teen Vogue magazine for that matter. LC attempts to prove that she too is a “big girl” and can wear her Pull-Ups in the fashion industry.

    I wonder if The Hills and 8th and Ocean will ever cross paths – kinda like a Real World/Road Rules Gauntlet type ‘o thing?

  • Jason is back, and LC apparently is ready and willing to give him a second chance at love. A perfect love… just like Jesus has for you and me. Only, unlike LC… Jesus doesn’t work for Teen Vouge.





  • American Idol – Inside Info
    posted on May 24 2006

    Some inside information from tonight’s AI finale… even though I’ll be watching LOST.

  • There’s gonna be a big “woman power” theme to part of the show.
  • There’s a top secret performer, who is also a woman, who will be performing. Signs point to Celine Dion.
  • Dionne Warwick will be performing.
  • Clay Aiken will be there. Ruben Studdard will not.

    You’ll be happy to know that I’ll be doing no more Mississippi State baseball posts this year.

    Because their season is over.

    Yes, the team started 18-0 and “couldn’t be stopped” dropped 2 out of 3 to Ole Miss over the weekend, finished (35-21, 12-17 SEC) and were left out of the 8-team, SEC Tournament. A tournament that State won last year – and I actually attended and cheered for STATE thankyouverymuch.

    I really do love my State friends – and to show you how much I love you I’ve added a Mississippi State tag [ms state] to the site now.

    So now… whether it’s beating Florida or losing to Maine (I still can’t believe ya’ll lost to Maine!!!) you can find it all under the ms state tag.

    UPDATE: My bad. I forgot that you don’t have to make the tourney to make the tourney.

    But State still sucks.






    Question of the Day: A Case if the Munchies
    posted on May 24 2006

    Seeing that lunch time is just around the corner, I hope this question will hit the nail on the head.

    Question:

      If you could eat one thing right now… anything – what would it be? Be specific. Be descriptive. Be over-the-top if needed.

    man on fire divx

    Anybody else besides me just love this new Old Navy commercial?

    The only one I could find was this one… with fart effects.

    Sorry.

    Just ate dinner at the new Mediterranean restaraunt in Jasper.

    Verdict: Very good

    I had a Beef & Lamb Gyro, a side of rice, and pita chips (which are gooood and cheeeap).

    Sultan’s is located in the parking lot beside the Honda dealership out on Highway 78. Check it out.






    Email Address Change
    posted on May 23 2006

    I mentioned it a while back, but I think a few of you still missed it.

    landon.howell@yahoo.com is now my main email addy.

    landon@juiceenewsdaily.com AND landon@bamassippi.com are still, and always will be active – but change your address destination and I’ll love you forever.

    Also, my landon@bighunkyguyinsweatysocks.com is also still active… though I usually only use that for other business purposes.






    Question of the Day: Spontaneous Travel
    posted on May 23 2006

    Very few of you will ever do it. But I promise you that taking a spontaneous trip is worth every second and every penny you spend on it; no matter the second guessing you’ll do on the plane en route to your destination.

    Question:

      If – right now – you could stand up, pack a bag, and depart (either by train, plane, or automobile) to take a 1 week vacation, where would it be? Your budget is $3,000… which must cover airline tickets, hotel, meals, etc.






    Confessions: I Love The X-Men Movies
    posted on May 23 2006

    I do. I freakin’ love ‘em.

    As a child I was never that into X-Men comics… I left that to my brother Aaron. But there’s just something about a good action movie that all guys love.

    So… that’s all.






    Facebook Goes Mobile
    posted on May 23 2006

    Now you can continue your addiction wherever you are as Facebook score the dvdrip download goes to your cellphone.

    You can set it up to where everytime you get a poke/message/request etc, you recieve a text message. Kinda takes some of the “Christmas morning” feel away now that you don’t have to rush to your computer with eager anticipation… but a good idea nonetheless.






    To Sell or not To Sell?
    posted on May 23 2006

    Many of you know that during my college days, I did quite well selling on eBay.

    Obviously, I didn’t become a millionaire – but my skills are still summoned from time to time.

    When they are it’s usually questions like “Do you think this will sell?” or “How much will this go for?”

    Most items won’t sell, and I’m very frank about it. However, my insight is nothing compared to that of Sean Blanda, a former eBay employee.

    He’s got some nice notes on what does and doen’t sell. So, whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or if you’re just trying to balance you budget… read the article.

    [NOTE: I'm gonna cut Karen and Pettus off at the pass and go ahead and mention the infamous "pearl-gate" - ask me later.]






    Question of the Day: Being Southern
    posted on May 22 2006

    I love being southern – love it. I also love being from the south.

    There’s a difference between the two.

    People who live in the south have a house above Florida, below Illinois, and east of Nebraska.

    People who are southern, on the other hand, are always friendly, they eat fried chicken, love football season and are always looking for an excuse to grill-out with friends. We call ourselves “Southerners.”

    However, southerners also dress differently – most of the time we do it in a good way.

    Now, I’m not talking about cowboy boots or Dale Earnhardt t-shirts. I’m talking about stuff we wore to class during college, stuff we wear out on Saturday night, etc etc etc.

    Question of the Day:

      What are some must-have southern clothing items and accessories for both guys and girls?






    The 9/11 Conspiracy
    posted on May 22 2006

    Summary: These people think that September 11, 2001 was one big hoax.

    A very interesting video… not that I believe any of it. I’ll have to be honest and say that some of their stuff is very convincing.

    A long video [1 hour 21 minutes 50 seconds] but neat to watch if you have the time.






    The 9/11 Pentagon Video
    posted on May 22 2006

    Last week the Pentagon released the full video from the plane crash on 9/11.

    The plane hits at 24 seconds – after 35 seconds there’s nothing else to see exceptsome personnel and the building up in smoke.
