famous freds gettin' busy...

here's in depth detail of every one of kevin arnold's sexual conquests. anyway this further's my view that all fred's are pimps, but you already knew that.

jesse palmer gave andre the giant a private rose ceremony last night...

last night myself and :


and:


went out for some drinks to celebrate andre's birthday and we were outside the bar when lo and behold, who should walk by but the bachelor himself:



let me tell you that his much dreamier in person and was accompanied by a seriously hot lady. so we followed the bachelor into a swanky bar down the street where these two were hanging out:



tiki was actually making out with his wife outside and ronde looked to be getting his mac on inside. it was a serious giants party in the west village last night.

and if all of that wasn't exciting enough this guy was cracking funnies in the corner (andre and barry thought he was the bouncer, but fredeeky knows his ex-giants tight ends):



all in all a very exciting night. thanks to barry for the funnies and thanks to andre for his controversial world view. needless to say work is pretty lame today, but i am going to power through.

wielding enormous swords online...

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Shanghai online game player stabbed to death a competitor who sold his cyber-sword, the China Daily said Wednesday, creating a dilemma in China where no law exists for the ownership of virtual weapons.

Qiu Chengwei, 41, stabbed competitor Zhu Caoyuan repeatedly in the chest after he was told Zhu had sold his "dragon saber," used in the popular online game, "Legend of Mir 3," the newspaper said a Shanghai court was told Tuesday.

"Legend of Mir 3" features heroes and villains, sorcerers and warriors, many of whom wield enormous swords.

Qiu and a friend jointly won their weapon last February, and lent it to Zhu who then sold it for 7,200 yuan (US$870), the newspaper said.

Qui went to the police to report the "theft" but was told the weapon was not real property protected by law.

"Zhu promised to hand over the cash but an angry Qui lost patience and attacked Zhu at his home, stabbing him in the left chest with great force and killing him," the court was told.

seal clubbing is so hot right now....

Thousands of sealers armed with clubs, rifles and spears headed for the ice floes off eastern Canada on Tuesday for the world's largest seal hunt, one expected to bring poor coastal communities millions of dollars but condemned by animal rights activists as barbaric.

andre the giant has a posse....

a happy birthday goes out to one of my most loyal readers, andre the giant. andre has been on fredeeky from the very start and has provided countless links and some of our most hilarious comments. a sherry drinker, a hardcore gamer and a ladies man, andre is good people and a good friend. so happy birthday andre and lets get some birthday cocktails into you as soon as possible. for all of those wondering what to get the 520 pounder for his birthday, i'll tell you that he would probably like a fantasy baseball preview mag or a bottle of his beloved sherry. i for one am going to get him a personalized t-shirt. (i know reggie, i owe you one as well.)



also i'd like to thank barry beck, who alerted me to the big man's birthday. nice job by you.

Is Arranged Marriage Really Any Worse Than Craigslist?

that's a lot of mayo...

thanks to andre the giant:



SLIDELL, La. - A reliable family car suddenly developed a tendency to decelerate, leading to the discovery that it had been driven for years with $40,000 worth of cocaine stashed in the gas tank.
A suburban New Orleans family had bought the 1996 Toyota Camry from a used car lot in 1997.
When the car started losing speed, it was taken to a mechanic, who discovered two bricks of cocaine wrapped around the vehicle’s fuel line. The wrapping had apparently come loose recently.

happy 43rd birthday m.c. hammer...

this is a serious stashe...

Rainier Maute, a dashingly whiskered trucker from Albstadt, Germany, plans to compete in the Olympic Games later this year.

It may be surprising that the 48-year-old smoker has a shot at a title. But Maute says he follows a strict training regime to keep in top form.

Each morning the former world and European champion stands before a mirror, where he spends 15 minutes grooming his trim, Kaiser Wilhelm-style mustache. His training gear? "Hairspray … and hazelnut mustache wax."

The married father of two plans to showcase his hairy upper lip at May's Beard Olympics in Leogang, Austria

blind and 78? i can see and im 28 and i've never even gotten close...

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- A man who is legally blind was naturally skeptical when he was told he scored a hole-in-one while at a local golf course.

"They've said it before," said Joel Ludvicek, 78, of Cedar Rapids.

Only this time it was true.

ought to be interesting...

It has been reported today by Brand Republic that the fast food giant is bribing rap artists to mention Big Macs in their lyrics for their tracks in a bid to attract more customers.

The deal is that Macca D’s will not pay anything upfront to any obliging rappers but will pay between $1 and $5 every time the track receives radio airplay.

McDonalds will have the final approval on any tracks featuring the ‘Big Mac’ phrase and it is hoped that by the summer several ‘Big Mac’ tracks will have been released.

just like kissing cousins, yeah that's kind of clever...

ALTOONA, Pa. - First cousins who were denied a marriage license by a Pennsylvania judge earlier this month were wed in a civil ceremony in Maryland, the couple said Monday.
Tonight Show host Jay Leno and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh both commented about the story after Blair County Judge Jolene Kopriva refused to marry Eleanor Amrhein, 46, and Donald W. Andrews Sr., 39, of Logan Township.
The couple petitioned the judge March 14, three days after a court clerk refused to marry them after learning they were first cousins. The couple's mothers are sisters. But they hoped the judge would grant an exception to the Pennsylvania law, which was meant to prevent birth defects and other problems caused by marriage of close relatives, by telling the judge they didn't plan to have children.
"Everybody thought I should be ashamed of it," Amrhein said. "I am not."
Amrhein has no children; Andrews has three to other women.
"I started coming up here hanging out with mom's side of the family," Andrews told The Mirror of Altoona for Tuesday's editions. "I didn't seek her out. She didn't seek me out. But all along, there was something that clicked."
About half of the states allow first cousins to marry, according to stateline.org, a research site on state laws.

balki, canseco and pepa?

The new cast includes "America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickinson, former slugger Jose Canseco, Sandi "Pepa" Denton of Salt-N-Pepa, Bronson Pinchot from "Perfect Strangers," Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth from the first season of "The Apprentice," British model Caprice and motorcrosser Carey Hart.

love this story....

Across campus, in a second-floor windowless room, four students huddle around an odd, 3-foot-tall frame constructed of PVC pipe. They have equipped it with propellers, cameras, lights, a laser, depth detectors, pumps, an underwater microphone, and an articulated pincer. At the top sits a black, waterproof briefcase containing a nest of hacked processors, minuscule fans, and LEDs. It's a cheap but astoundingly functional underwater robot capable of recording sonar pings and retrieving objects 50 feet below the surface. The four teenagers who built it are all undocumented Mexican immigrants who came to this country through tunnels or hidden in the backseats of cars. They live in sheds and rooms without electricity. But over three days last summer, these kids from the desert proved they are among the smartest young underwater engineers in the country.

just puttin' on the foil coach...

thought i'd link to bill simmons' rantings on the classic 80's rob lowe hockey move, youngblood. young fredeeky freaked out over this movie, but has not seen it in years. needless to say, i can't imagine it holds up very well.

anyway in my searching for the perfect youngblood photo, i came up with this site that lists the best hockey movies of all-time. there were a bunch i'd never heard of like a 70's movie called face off (that they rank number two - to slap shot). anyway, this list is primarily for confused hockey fans like barry and reggie, but the rest of you can at least enjoy the simmons thing.

headline of the day...

Ben McKenzie Of 'The O.C.' Diversifies By Growing A Mustache

fredeeky stared a serious trend. no big deal. i have to say that right after i shaved my stache i noticed that the guy who tried to kidnap letterman's baby as well as some terrible sex offender on the cover of the daily news both rocked the stashe. let me tell you, it's an elite cadre of fireman, criminals, porn stars and sex offenders and i am proud to have been in their midst, albeit for a brief moment.

tourney wrap up (blogging from home edition)...

pitsnoggle? this guy is the only guy on the team from west va. and the big man likes to step back and hit the three, which is nice.



this guy gagged all over himself. 30 seconds left down two and his team took 13 seconds to foul and then the guy that did foul fouled out. what the hell is that?



best name still in the tourney? taquan dean cause it sounds like tae kwon do.



milwaukee couldn't quite get it done against illinois (sorry high life). the highlight of the game? milwaukee's cheerleaders. they were pretty busted. after they cut to the cheerleaders for the first time you could hear dick enberg trying to stiffle a giggle.



this was the best game of the night, but we didn't get to watch too much of it. salim stoudemire (pretty good name) hit this one to send home the cowboys and officially put fredeeky's bracket in the turlet.



all readers are welcome to watch hoops tonite at a bar to be named later. this is probably it for the day so read it a couple of times and throw some f'ing comments up there.

barry beck dorks it up...

(SPACE.com) -- Aliens will be glad to know that if ever they need to find an apartment here on Earth, someone has got them covered.

On March 11, a company called Deep Space Communications Network beamed the first commercial transmission of a Web site into space.

The message? Over one hundred thousand separate postings from craigslist.com, the popular community Web site that includes classified listings for jobs, housing and other goods. The transmission included a date and time stamp, as well as an audio track identifying the message as originating from Earth.

tied with italy? in soccer?

ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -- The United States moved up one spot into a 10th-place tie with Italy in the March FIFA rankings.

Brazil remained No. 1 in Wednesday's list, a position it has held since July 2002, a month after winning its record fifth World Cup. France stayed in second, followed by Argentina, the Czech Republic and Spain.

Mexico, which plays the United States in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday in Mexico City, moved into sole possession of sixth, followed by the Netherlands, England and Portugal.

really, i just liked the photo...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Army, struggling amid the Iraq war to sign up new soldiers, will miss its March and April recruiting goals, but hopes to attract more recruits with a patriotism pitch, the Army's leader said on Wednesday.

Kyrgyzstan?

ISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, March 24 - President Askar Akayev and his family fled the Kyrgyz capital today, a former presidential aide said, after protesters stormed the presidential compound and seized control following clashes with riot policemen during a large opposition rally.

The family left the presidential compound by helicopter for a nearby Russian air base, which they later left, said Mr. Akayev's former chief of staff, Rafjan Jeenbekov. Their final destination was not immediately clear. There were reports that he was heading for either Russia or Kazakhstan, but his whereabouts could not be confirmed.

(the photo is of protestors in akayev's office. i love how not-scary they look. it's looks more like they're on a tour of the presidential residence. except for the guy doing the double fist-pump. he's terrifying.)

323-2?

seriously though, this has to be some kind of huge rivalry.

Inzamam-ul-Haq made a century in his 100th Test match as Pakistan ended the first day of the final Test against India in a strong position on 323-2.

But captain Inzamam took advantage of a good pitch to stroke a chanceless 184, while Younis Khan made a patient 127.

Their partnership of 316 is a record for any wicket by a touring team in India and should set up a big total.

A superb cover drive off Pathan took Inzamam to 96 and he tucked the same bowler for a single to square-leg to bring up his 21st Test century.

There were also few difficulties after the tea interval - the only trouble Inzamam appeared to have was with fatigue.

ah intelligent design....

TALLAHASSEE — Republicans on the House Choice and Innovation Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to pass a bill that aims to stamp out “leftist totalitarianism” by “dictator professors” in the classrooms of Florida’s universities.

While promoting the bill Tuesday, Baxley said a university education should be more than “one biased view by the professor, who as a dictator controls the classroom,” as part of “a misuse of their platform to indoctrinate the next generation with their own views.”

The bill sets a statewide standard that students cannot be punished for professing beliefs with which their professors disagree. Professors would also be advised to teach alternative “serious academic theories” that may disagree with their personal views.

According to a legislative staff analysis of the bill, the law would give students who think their beliefs are not being respected legal standing to sue professors and universities.

Students who believe their professor is singling them out for “public ridicule” – for instance, when professors use the Socratic method to force students to explain their theories in class – would also be given the right to sue.

“Some professors say, ‘Evolution is a fact. I don’t want to hear about Intelligent Design (a creationist theory), and if you don’t like it, there’s the door,’” Baxley said, citing one example when he thought a student should sue.

Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, warned of lawsuits from students enrolled in Holocaust history courses who believe the Holocaust never happened.

nice job by the celtics...

although the game wasn't on time warner cable, it's still nice to beat boston in something, particularly when they were chirping all over the place. f beantown all over again.

In the opening minutes, the Atlantic Division-leading Celtics, who had won seven straight, thought they were on the way to another easy night against the Knicks, strutting to a 6-2 lead, jabbering on every play.

Celtic sixth man Ricky Davis yapped from the bench, repeatedly screaming at Jamal Crawford, "Garbage, you're garbage," and yelping, "It's going to be over early.

Stephon Marbury, standing alongside the lane, turned around and shouted back at Davis, "Sit your (butt) back down where it belongs on the bench" while Davis continued his harangue. The officials blew the whistle and called double technicals on Marbury and Davis.

On the next possession, Pierce and Tim Thomas almost came to blows, earning double technicals. Pierce, meanwhile disintegrated after his near fight with Thomas and finished with five points in 23 minutes. Antoine Walker was awful, too (5 of 20, 13 points).

"It's not even MTV and (Pierce) got punk'd," said Thomas.

The images above - exclusive to the Wooster site and provided by Banksy - are of Banksy installing four pieces in New York's most prestigious museums - The Brooklyn Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Natural History.

Dressed as a British pensioner, over the last few days Banksy entered each of the galleries and attached one of his own works, complete with authorative name plaque and explanation.

He says - "This historic occasion has less to do with finally being embraced by the fine art establishment and is more about the judicious use of a fake beard and some high strength glue." Banksy continues -"They're good enough to be in there, so I don't see why I should wait"

Staff at the New York Met discovered and removed their new aquisition early Sunday morning while Banksy's discount soup can print took pride of place in the MoMA for over three days before being torn down.

As of now, the other two pieces currently remain firmly in place...
