If you missed it … Boxers are absolutely insane. Guy got a case of road rash on his pinkie so he did what any normal individual would do….

He went home, put towels over the kitchen table and blocked off a working area with several two-by-fours. He put gauze around the area and twisted soldering wire around his right pinkie to slow the flow of blood.

“Then I put a wood chisel on it and dropped a 15-pound weight on the chisel,” Robles said. “The piece shot out about six feet like a missile.”

Also, in sports I would like to congratulate Nate for having his Yankees miss the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. Meanwhile Joe Torre’s Dodgers are actually IN. Wowsers. The Rangers only exceeded expectations… at least we weren’t last place.

At the behest of Joshua Rivera, I need to emphasize how important it is that you watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one of the funniest off-the-wall comedies on TV.

This is what I want for Christmas. Markus does a look at a video he found made entirely with Canon’s new DSLR. That’s right, a still-camera… it is really sick looking. Who has 3 grand for me?

Pretty funny Ricky Gervais vs. Steve Carrell at the Emmy’s.

I just started watching the original Office on Netflix. Funny, but not Steve Carrell funny. That is all. The Ofice STARTS TONIGHT.

It was Nate’s 21’st birthday so give him a shoutout at natemcguire.com. We had a fab time in downtown Austin, and cheering on the Texas Longhorns to their first of many victories this season. As I moved back into cyberspace today I hit up on some VERY interesting stuff. So here goes with a quick recap :

1. This is pretty crazy if true and the evidence is mounting. Mostly circumstancial but some very weird things going on at the least. Sarah Palin, the republican VP nominee, you may better know her as the attractive one McCain has been walking around with for a couple days… may not be the mother of her youngest daughter. She may be the grandmother. You need to read this one, it will take 5 minutes, and take it with a grain of salt its not a news network or anything, but I’ve seen it pop up in a couple places in the last 24 hours.

2. Also, Sarah Palin related, I saw a fox news clip where her experience on the national stage was cemented in place by the assertion that Alaska is the closest state to Alaska. Let me tell you what, all questions I have about her viability are now cleared.

3. Bucket of Awesome found the greatest. cover. ever. Nickelback’s Photograph but Better.

4.  If you have been hiding in advance of Gustav, here is an up to date tracker. Yours truly might have a quote in a local newspaper cause of a quote I gave. Hooray.
