Ooooooooooooooops!


A bunch of HUGE football players were crawling around on their hands and knees at the end of Tuesday's (8/30) Miami Dolphins practice!  They were trying to help out defensive end Kendall Langford, who had LOST one of his earrings!!! Langfors said the diamond was nearly 2.5 carats!  He was joined by several of his teamates who looked around the field for about an hour after practice.  BUT....the search was in vain!  The earring is still missing!  Langford wouldn't say how much the earring was worth but one jewelry distributor says it could be worth more than $50,000!!!!  Dolphins coach Tony Sparano didn't take part in the search...though he did watch for a while!!!

The Stones get GAME!

Gold and Platinium records replace houses and hotels.  The Chance and Community Chest cards have been changed to "Lyrics" and "Licks"andh the 4 railroads now represented by tours!!  It will be released in time for the holidays!

This is one HARDCORE Fan!


A Pennsylvania woman took a sign to a Paul McCartney's show in Philadelphia requesting him to autograph her back with a permanent marker.  McCartney called Rose Ann Belluso on the stage and signed her back!  She decided to make the signature permanent and had it tattooed onto her back!  She said it was the best experience of her life, besides the birth of her two sons!!!  Now THAT'S a HARDCORE FAN!!!!!!

Stupis is as Stupid does!!!


From the "Duhhhhhh!" file - Kimberly Ramirez walked into a Waukegan, Illinois bank and handed the teller a hold-up note.  Kimberly got away with more than $11,000...temporarily.  Kimberely might've held onto the cash on amore permanent basis has she not wrote her note on the BACK OF A PERSCRIPTION made out in HER NAME and left if at the bank!! In order to further assist police in her arrest, Kimberly also left her peresonal debit card on the teller's counter.  When Waukegan police arrived at her apartment building about 40 minutes later, they found Kimberely outside because she's locked herself out!  I mean PLEASE!!!

"God-grilla!!!!!!"


This picture is a midget grill compared to the you I'm about to tell you about!! The world's LARGEST Grill is now across the pond!!  A 31 year old engineer named Jack Henriques of England has built this monstrosity, that can cook 7 whole lambs, 3 pigs or 2 cows at the same time! This beast weighs 2 tons, measures 16 feet across and requires 14 bags of coal to ignite.The BBQ is 11 feet tall and can also cook 1,000 sausages or 500 burgers at once! When it's loaded to capacity at least 3 chefs are needed to keep an eye on all the meat.  It's a sight to see.  Check it out at www.metro.co.uk/news/837960-worlds-largest-bbq-uneilved
