Here's wishing you a Happy New Year!!

Here is a babe filled post wishing you for the new year,

Good times

and you get lots of booty!!

BCS Championship Ohio State vs. LSU

I first want to say that I am a fan of neither the Big 10 or the SEC. Living in the south all I hear is how superior the SEC is and how Ohio State doesn't deserve to be in the championship because the Big 10 is an inferior conference. This is mostly based on the fact that Florida destroyed Ohio State in the championship last year. That was one ugly game. I got a little news for you SEC guys, you were 1-2 head to head in bowls against the Big 10 last year. Guess what else, you are a big 3 wins and 5 losses in the last three years in bowls against the Big 10. Not a very convincing argument for SEC superiority. Anyway make your own call, I'm going to let the cheer babes fight it out. Here's just a sample of the cheer babes from both:

The SEC

The Big 10

Merry Christmas

I wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. I know it's early but i will be travelling and won't be posting until after Christmas. Here's hoping Santa brings you lots of booty, and a little booty from me to you. Merry Christmas!!

Chain Mail Girl

I recently found a couple pictures of Chain Mail Girl and thought "I need to share these" so here she is in all her chain mail hotness.

Green Ronin Books

I got the books I ordered on Paizo's Green Ronin sale and wanted to post what I got from them. First up is Damnation Decade, a book based on movies from the 70's. It brings back memories of those movies I watched as a kid., Rollerball in particular comes to mind, they even have a little homage on the cover.





Next up I picked up Sidewinder. Cowboys are just plain cool. You could play Clint hunting down the bad guys and not saying a word while doing it. Not into the Old West? I could always mix the first two for a Westworld game.


Last but not least Skull & Bones. Pirates Rock!! I had to pick this one up as soon as I saw it. I was kind of disappointed that it was swashbuckling horror, but who really cares? It's Pirates!!

And as always the hot Pirate chick gives a big thumbs up! Who wants to board?

Walmart Pulls Underwear

I have just two questions. What idiot would buy these for their daughter? What idiot thought these were a good idea? I realize there a second line on the back that says “When you have Santa” however most people are not going to get past the front when they see these hanging on the shelf. If the whole joke was on the front of a t-shirt it would be funny and would sell.

Pirates of The Caribbean Fan Art

I came across this picture of Elizabeth Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean. I had to share it. I apologize to the artist, I couldn't find any info on who did it other than the Zugma 2006 on the pic. Keira Knightly is hot even if she is drawn.

Daredevil Evel Knievel Dies at Age 69

What bummer to hear this news. As a kid I lived and breathed Evel's every move. I had the toy figure and stunt cycle, I cannot tell how much fun it was to rev that thing up and send him into a flying jump only to slam into a wall. He was an icon. I still remember watching his attempt to jump the sharks live,he broke his wrist practicing so they only showed his practice jumps not the live jump. Come to think of it he wrecked way more than he succeeded in his big publicity jumps. But he was cool doing it.

Quiet Riot Lead Singer Kevin Dubrow Found Dead at 52

What a bummer this was to hear. Quiet Riot was the first concert I ever went to. They were the opening act for ZZ Top back in the the day. A bunch of us went to the Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio to see the show. My friend Mike and I pushed our way to the front of the stage at the show. You haven't seen a concert until you've been crushed with a bunch of other people at the front. Ah the memories.

Anyway here's what Fox News had on their site:

LAS VEGAS — Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot that scored a hit with "Cum on Feel the Noize," was found dead in a Las Vegas home. He was 52.
The cause was not immediately known.
A neighbor summoned police and paramedics Sunday to the house where he was pronounced dead, police and coroner's officials said.
There was no forced entry, and no suspicious circumstances were reported, police Officer Jose Montoya said Monday.
Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" -- which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
DuBrow recorded his first solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill," and the band's last studio CD, "Rehab," came out in October 2006.
"I can't even find words to say," Quiet Riot drummer Frank Banali wrote on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow."
Determination of the cause of death was pending an autopsy and toxicology results, Clark County coroner's spokeswoman Samantha Charles said.

Congratulations Saskatchewan Roughriders!!

A big congratulations on you 23-19 Grey Cup win over the Blue Bombers. Since I am really not impressed with the cheerleader pictures I can find for the Roughriders, I'm sending a congrats out from their rival Felions!! Here is the cover to their 2007 calendar.

And one from the Outriders:

This week’s Grey Cup match up is going to be exciting. The Saskatchewan Roughriders and The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, two teams that were underdogs in their finals went into their opponent’s stadium and came out with a win. The final scores make them look like close games but Winnipeg and Saskatchewan dominated the finals. The prairie is going to be rocking this weekend. This will mark the first time these two have met in the Grey Cup. Both are hungry for a cup, neither team has won the cup in over 15 years.

The Roughriders pulled off the biggest win, knocking off their biggest rival the BC Lions. I don’t think anyone but the Riders seriously thought they were going to win. It’s always cool to see the underdog win, even if you are a fan of the other team. Interesting fact, all 26 points the Riders scored in the final was made by Canadians. The win gives the Roughriders their first Grey Cup berth since 1997, and a chance to win their first since 1989. The last Roughriders win was in Toronto, with current coach Kent Austin playing quarterback. They won that game 43-40 over the Hamilton Tigercats. The Riders green will be out in full force, they are already saying that Toronto will be shaded green this weekend. If they win it will be the teams third in their 98 year history.

The Blue Bombers also had a big game knocking the Toronto Argonauts out of their chance for a home field Grey Cup game. The Bombers have made the playoff a record 53 years; have more playoff appearances, 109, and more playoff wins, 59, than any other franchise. The Bombers have 10 Grey Cup wins, but they also have 12 losses. The Bombers last Cup appearance was in 2001 and their last win in 1990 a 50-11 win over Edmonton. The big news for Winnipeg, starting quarterback Kevin Glenn will be out of the game with a broken arm. There were some real exciting things in that game, like Keith Stokes 81 yard punt return TD, but the game will be remembered for Glenn’s broken arm. The only way they will forget about Glenn’s broken arm is if Ryan Dinwiddie can take the Bombers to a Grey Cup win. This will be Dinwiddie’s first CFL start. He threw all of 24 passes in the regular season, and went 4-for-4 for 80 yards in the final Sunday. If you are going to win a game in your first start, make it a championship game.

As for my prediction, my heart says go with the Bombers. I always loved watching them back in the 80’s. How could you not like a team that has a beer, Labatt Blue, named after it, and had a quarterback named Indian Jack? The Roughriders will make this their 16th shot at the Grey Cup, with only two wins so far. They have the worst Grey Cup win percentage in the CFL. That said, I’m going with the Roughriders to win. I think Dinwiddie will be a good quarterback, but after seeing how the Roughriders defense tore up the Lions last week I’ll go with them this weekend. I get the funny feeling Dinwiddie is going to have a very long day in Toronto. Winnipeg has more weapons than Kevin Glenn, but I’m sure even they do not want to go with a quarterback in his first start. I also think after knocking the Lions off (this is the CFL's equivalent to the Red Sox finally beating the Yankees) The Roughriders aren't going to let anything stop them.

For cheerleaders first up is Nichole from the Blue Lightning. Nichole is student who wants to go on to be an elementary school teacher. Where were the teachers who looked like this when I was in school? Nichole's biggest pet peeve when cheering is when her hair gets stuck on her face and she cannot fix it.

Then we have Jade from the Roughriders squad. Someone has got to work on the cheerleaders web page. I really think someone has a thing against the cheer team looking good. Jade is a student and cheers for the University of Regina Cheer Team. When Jade gets nervous she just tries to breathe. I thought that function came naturally.



I'm also going to include Melayna from the Blue Lightning stunters. Melyna works full time in retail and plans on going to college. When asked what skills/things she learned being on the team she said, "I can do push ups now!"


Also from the riders, Jess U. and Jess P. Jess U. says she dances in her bedroom, someone get a web cam set up now!!

Jess P. says if she won a million dollars she would take a vacation somewhere hot and exotic!!

For a bonus I'm including Blue Lightning team assistant, Stacy!! Stacy's career goal is to be a middle school teacher, once again where was teachers who looked like this when I was in school? Since being on the team one of things/stuff she has acquired is public speaking and the power of philanthropy.
