Rude Brew

An employee, a forklift driver to be exact, of Miller Brewery was fired because a photo was taken of him in his off time drinking Bud Light.

"It was a Saturday and I wasn't at work," he told The Journal Times. "They can't tell me what beverages I can drink. Bud Light's my beer of choice, I always drink that. Just because I work there, do I have to change what I drink?"

Thomas Bey, a CJW sales manager, read a statement to the Associated Press on Friday and would not answer any questions. He said the company does not publicly discuss past or present employees.

"We consistently remind our employees that drinking alcohol is entirely a personal decision," Bey said. "The image and reputation of any company is determined in large part by the way its employees are seen to behave. Our employees can and should be our best ambassadors."

Yet another reason for me to never drink another Miller, the Kool Aide of beers.

More Sex

Bad Before the Oh.

Vasile Barbulescu, a Romanian man, ended up in hospital after putting a piece of string around his penis to avoid going to the toilet. He admitted wrapping string around his penis to put off going to the toilet until he got home.

"He told us he had tied it really tight. When we finally got it off we saw his penis had massive injuries." said Dr Alexandru Iure. Barbulescu now faces months of complicated surgery to correct the damage caused.

No one reported why he so dreaded going to the toilet.

Why do men fall asleep after sex?

According to the scientists, they are simply tired out.

'As frustrating as it is for most women that their male partners just roll over and fall asleep after sex, men aren't entirely to blame,' said Dr Neil Stanley, director of sleep at the University of Surrey.

'The blood rush after climax depletes the muscles of energy-producing glycogen, leaving men feeling physically drained.

Because they have more muscle mass than women, men become tired after sex and this subsequently leads to them feeling sleepy.'

Eighty per cent of men said they felt more relaxed and were able to drift off without any problems after making love, compared with 46 per cent of women.

And last night I dreamt I had lots of great sex with.....

F-F-F-Friday

Busy writing reviews when one of the foster cats, a beautiful Persian named Tory, went into a convulsion. I picked her up and held her close to me as she twitched. Her pupils were blown and vacant - she was not present.

When she came out of it a trip to the emergency vet was already set-up. On the way there, I kept one hand in the cage to comfort her. She threw up all over it.

By the time we arrived, she was fine except for the smell. She even braved the blood tests without a squawk.

Waiting for the results to come back but it looks like epilepsy. The Ewok Princess has always been a little touched in the head.

The Radio in my Head Tunes in KRAP

The songs in my head are truly evil this week.

Today's? "Two Doors Down" by Dolly Parton

Yesterday's? : "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes (I had to look that one up)

The rest of the week was smatterings of Maxwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" and "If" by Bread.

This is truly a curse.

Find out what happens when Hunter S. Thompson calls at 3:30 a.m.

"The death of professional hockey in AMERICA is a nasty omen for people with heavy investments in NHL teams. But to me, it meant little or nothing -- and that's why I called Bill Murray with an idea that would change both our lives forever.

It was 3:30 on a dark Tuesday morning when I heard the phone ring on his personal line in New Jersey. "Good thinking," I said to myself as I fired up a thin Cohiba. "He's bound to be wide awake and crackling at this time of day, or at least I can leave a very excited message."

My eerie hunch was right. The crazy bugger picked up on the fourth ring, and I felt my heart racing. "Hot damn!" I thought. "This is how empires are built."

Fawlty Sale

The original Hotel Gleneagles in Torqay, Devon that inspired the legendary TV series Fawlty Towers has been sold for around £1.5m..

Cleese, who stayed at the hotel with the Monty Python team in 1971, described Sinclair as "the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met". Cleese based the character of Basil Fawlty on Donald Sinclair, a former owner.

Sinclair, who died in 1981, is said to have thrown Eric Idle's suitcase out of the window "in case it contained a bomb" and complained about Terry Gilliam's table manners.


Panna and Kumar Patel, who bought the hotel with Mr Patel's brother Keethri, also own two supermarkets and a pub in Bristol. The new owners are a family from Bristol who say they are "big fans" of the comedy, which ran for 12 episodes between 1975 and 1979. Mrs Patel said: "We were big fans of the Fawlty Towers programme so we believe that it will prove to be a sound investment to have bought one of the best-known hotels in the UK."

Sadistic giggle producer


A print by Prince Charles went up for sale at a tsunami aid auction in Ireland this week. But did not make its reserve price.

"We are disappointed it did not sell but that is the way it goes ... It is no reflection on the man whatsoever," Fergus Ahern told Reuters. "It is the luck of the draw."

Other donated paintings sold for a total of about 300,000 euros (160,000 pounds) but bidders at the Royal Hibernian Academy shunned the 30,000 euro reserve price tagged on "Windsor Castle North Aspect", a rare lithograph by the heir to the British throne.

Charles, whose interests include architecture and organic farming, originally gave the lithograph to an earlier Ahern charity auction, but the buyer decided to re-donate the piece.

Still Lovers

At the Houk Gallery, a photographic study of men and their synthetic sex partners.

“What began for me as a playful curiosity, how to photograph men having sex with 125 pounds of perfectly formed, synthetic female, rapidly turned into a serious exploration of the emotional ties that exist between men and women and their dolls. This exploration forced me to evaluate my own notions of love and what it means to value an object, a replacement human being, in effect, as real.”
