Now he's dropped from his label, and he's goin broke. Tried the underground return, ghetto pass revoked. And the same faces that he dissed on his way to the top laughed as they watched him do the downstroke. - Blackalicious buy it for your nanny!

You Can Leave Your Hat On. Your head, though, that's gonna have to go. What's the worst thing about College Gameday brought to you by Home Depot? I'll give you a hint: The first word's "big" and the last word's "rich". And the middle word started this sentence. That band is filled with as much genius as the Blue Collar Comedy Tour's audience.

What The Future Most Likely Holds For Big 'N' Rich:

1. A spot on the back of a Trivial Pursuit card (alongside Ken Jennings, perhaps.)
2. A crib featured on MTV that has a swimming pool shaped like a dollar sign.
3. The same crib, months later, featured on Remax Preferred Listings after it's found that Big and Rich owe 2.5 million in back taxes.
4. 768 Denny's All-You-Can-Eat Buffets. And no tips for the waitresses cuz all they ever did was refill your Mr. Pibbs.
5. The Surreal Life.
6. An award at the 2008 CMTs for "Most Ironic Band Name".

But if there's any consolation for being the biggest pussies in Tennessee (and, yes, I'm including Al Gore), it's that you've already got a keul coin-holding tophat, which will come in handy when you're back to busking outside of Robert's. http://www.bigandrich.com/

18th Nervous Breakdown. The Braves find themselves at the wrong end of an epic game yet again. A few things you may have noticed that I also noticed and that I think we should now notice together and talk about and maybe share a laugh or two over:

1. Jeff Bagwell looks like he's gonna take a dump at the plate whenever he's at bat.
2. Adam LaRoche proved that it's possible for a man to run slower than Sid Bream.
3. Tim Hudson pitched a mighty fine game.
4. If you listened closely, you could hear the Fat Lady somewhere in the 8th.
5. The Cardinals are gonna win anyway.
6. Big and Rich suck nuts.
7. Skip Carey polished off a hotdog for every inning. (Not witnessed, but assumed.)

Episode Of Candid Camera Goes Horribly Awry. New Orleans police officers are caught on tape beating the hell out of a drunk man. Bad boy, bad boy, whatcha gonna do? Watcha gonna do when they tag team you? Ahh, I think I know that answer. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1198870

MILFS, SIDS and ME. What raises the risk of SIDS? Do pacifiers reduce that risk? How about sleeping in the parents' room? Am I a sensitive guy who really cares about your feelings and understands your concerns and just really . . . gets you, you know, and, like, your husband's never around anyway, so why not? http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N09345008.htm

Take That, Cervical Cancer! Cervices across the country are breathing a collective sigh of relief as a vaccine that is 100% effective against the cancer awaits approval from the FDA. http://www.seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Health/5-10-07CervicalCancer.htm

Scientology: Not For The Faint Of Heart Or Big Of Brain. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are planning for a 'silent birth' when their artificially inseminated child shows up for his first photoshoot. The 'silent birth' is something unique to Scientology, as far as I can tell, and I base this solely on the fact I know of no other religion or system of beliefs that sounds so f'n crazy.

You be the judge (an excerpt):

The doctrine states that newborns cannot be poked or prodded for medical tests or even spoken to for the first seven days of their lives, believing that babies go through so much pain during the birth, they shouldn't have to experience any further discomfort or sensory experience that could return later in life to haunt them.

But all this press? A closeted gay dad? A naive mother? The Iceman? Yes, it's the talking at age one day that will return to haunt you. And so begins a healthy relationship between parents and child. http://www.accesshollywood.com/entertainment/5067660/detail.html
