Beer Steak Bullshit

Young Buck was kicked out of G-Unit and went crying to 50 Cent on the phone and 50 Cent showed some class and…. released the audio. Priceless.

So Young Buck calls up 50 Cent and cries his ass off telling him about problems with IRS and how confused he feels and begged to get his “job” with G-Unit back. It’s not certain when this “cry me a river” phone conversation took place, but it could have been before Young Buck flipped and yelled “Fuck G-Unit”.

I think 50 Cent is after Young Buck’s ass and when 50 Cent gets after someone’s ass… Well, remember how it went for Ya Rule?

The video of Young Buck’s Crying extravaganza audio is above.

That’s it then. Here’s the proof that Lakers Suck. All right, it’s the proof that sucks. Congrats to Celtics for beating Los Angeles Lakers 131-92 at tonight’s game and becoming NBA champions for the 17th time. To commemorate the win, Celtic fans are already selling t-shirts that read “Lakers Suck” on Ebay. How about that for business?

The city of Boston already has plans for major parade ready to celebrate the title won by their home team - Boston Celtics. Chant with me - Lakers Suck, Lakers Suck…..

I’m impressed. This is a time lapse video of some artist speed painting Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean and wow. Whoever did this has got some mad skills. Though I can’t help but ask - why would he/she paint the whole skull at the beginning? It’s not like this was 3D modeling? This was a regular standard 2D speed painting. The drawing of Jack Sparrow’s skull, regardless of how bad ass it was, seems a bit pointless. But then again - what do I know. I am nothing compared to this artist. Damn impressive.

According to the caption at the beginning of the video, the artist used Adobe Photoshop CS3 to paint this Jack Sparrow. 3 hours and the pirate was done. You can see it all in mere 4:20 (how awesome, eh?). Pull that hookah and have a puff while you’re watching this. You won’t understand where the fuck you’re at.

Daughters of Bilitis founders Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin got married yesterday and made it officially the first gay marriage in California. After living together for 55 years, 84 year old Phyllis Lyon and 87 year old Del Martin tied the knot in San Francisco’s City Hall at 5.01pm. Congrats to the old ladies.

Below is the video of newly married Daughters of Bilitis cutting a wedding cake.

The production on Angels & Demons, the latest thriller by Dan Brown and a sequel that’s actually a prequel to The Da Vinci Code only started on June 5th, 2008 and Vatican has had itself heard and banned the movie. The filmmakers of Angels & Demons requested to have some of crucial sequences filmed directly in Vatican’s the churches of Santa Maria della Vittoria and Santa Maria del Popolo but their long awaited request was turned down and the movie forbidden. What’s pope afraid of?

Variety says that the reason for banning Angels & Demons is that the “sequel is incompatible with religious sentiment”.

Just as it was with the Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks. Dan Brown published Angels & Demons before The Da Vinci Code and while the Code suggests that Mary Magdalena and Jesus Christ were married and had children, Angels & Demons focuses on The Illuminati - sinister elite of the world and their effort to take over Vatican.

Chad Gerlach had a great career going for him. He was a talented bike racer riding under flag of U.S. Postal Service, but just as his sport career was about to take off, he gave his life to drugs.

The story of Chad Gerlach, how he went form promising American pro racer to homeless bum who’s addicted to drugs was featured on this week’s episode of A&E Intervention.

Parents of Chad Gerlach divorced when he was just eight year old. By the time he was 13 he became a convicted arsonist, setting fire in North California and went to serve his time in jail. His dad got him into bike racing after he got out of jail and it went great for him as he raced for the US Postal Service team.

Sadly enough, he found himself an obsession - crack cocaine. As he became addicted to the drug, Chad Gerlach was kicked out of the US Postal team and other teams he tried to race for. Unable to support himself, he became homeless, living on the street for 18 months. To get $2000 a month he needed to satisfy his crack cocaine addiction, he started pan handling.

Chad Gerlach had potential and wasted it by allowing drugs to take over his life. The excuse that he had a tough childhood is ridiculous. How many other kids had it rough when they were little, yet they don’t go burning shit and smoke crack? Chad still carries on using the divorce of his parents as an excuse. Get a life dude and get that life on track. Quit looking for excuses all the time. Excuses are for the weak. Hang on a second… I’m talking about a drug addict…. Nevermind!

Stephanie Cutter, who previously worked as top aide to Senator Ed Kennedy, then got herself involved during 2004 elections serving as communication director to John Kerry knows her way around and changes colors as she sees fit. Her flag waves in the general direction of the highest bidder. Smart fish.. she can tell where money is and would switch from chanting “Hillary, Hillary” into “Obama, Obama” in a matter of seconds.

Stephanie Cutter was hired to join Barack Obama as senior adviser to his presidential campaign and chief of staff to Michelle Obama, Barack’s wife. Her first task, allegedly, is to recraft Michelle Obama’s image. She had an image? Hmmmm, interesting.

Daughters of Bilitis - widely recognized as the first lesbian organization in the US was founder in 1955 in San Francisco, California by two fine gay women Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. When Daughters of Bilitis was established, lesbianism was deemed wrong and harmful and women “suffering” from it were routinely submitted to mental institutions and treated by electroshocks in efforts to rid them off their deviant behavior. Back then it was illegal for two women to dance with each other (this is not going berserk) and to fall in love with the same sex partner could get you fired from work or sent to jail.

Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were a young couple and felt genuine love for each other. They begun the Daughters of Bilitis movement along with 6 other women and now, more than half a century later, the two ladies will become first married lesbian couple in San Francisco. Private ceremony will take place tomorrow in San Francisco City Hall and will be officiated by Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Phyllis Lyon is now 84 year old and Del Martin is 87. They’ve been together for 55 years - which is remarkable in this day and age for any couple when divorce rates are through the roof. What a great gift after decades of fighting for gay rights. May Daughters of Bilitis live on.

Japanese auto manufacturer Honda started production of first commercial hydrogen car in the world - Honda FCX Clarity or simply - Honda Clarity. According to automaker’s reps, Honda Clarity is the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered car certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for regular, commercial use. Say good bye to expensive to run, gas powered cars.

Honda’s been kicking lots of ass lately and FCX Clarity is another step in the right direction. The times are moving on and despite massive financial potential of petrol companies, it seem like they will no longer keep holding us by the balls and economical cars will make their way to the consumer, setting off a decline in rip off practices from those gas companies. Genepax Invented a Car that Runs on Water, Extreme Biofuel is pacing its way around… it’s happening folks, we’re gonna see cars that are more economical to run very soon. Honda FCX Clarity will be mass sold shortly. And I’m happy to share the news about it.

Obviously, we’re gonna need shit loads of hydrogen fuel stations, but they will start to pop up as soon as the people start buying hydrogen cars. However Honda only plans to lease about 200 of their FCX Clarity model over the next three years, so this is just a very beginning for hydrogen cars. The fact that there are not many hydrogen fuel stations is the main obstacle hence first owners of Honda FCX Clarity will be carefully chosen form among those who live within the range of one.

As for the car itself, Honda Clarity runs on electricity which is produced by a fuel cell battery powered by hydrogen. All this car emits is steam. You could go 280 miles before you need to fill the talk up with more hydrogen - which is a pretty decent range.

Even though hydrogen cars are not a thing of immediate future, Honda FCX Clarity proves that alternative power sources for cars are reality and we’ll be able to buy those on a large scale in a few years. Yay
