First of all before the news story we would like to send our best wishes to the Knievel family. I can say that Evel was one of my top 3 heros, and I have been fortunate to meet all three, Evel Knievel, Ron Jeremy and Tommy Chong. Evel was and always be a True American Hero!

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Evel Knievel, the red-white-and-blue-spangled motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over Greyhound buses, live sharks and Idaho’s Snake River Canyon made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

Knievel’s death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.

Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.

Immortalized in the Washington’s Smithsonian Institution as “America’s Legendary Daredevil,” Knievel was best known for a failed 1974 attempt to jump Snake River Canyon on a rocket-powered cycle and a spectacular crash at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. He suffered nearly 40 broken bones before he retired in 1980.

Ahhh to think a nice refreshing 4 day cruise to the Bahamas and Key West and what better way to enjoy it than to stay in your room for 48 hours. Why the fuck would you do that you may ask? Well, it wasn’t our choice but it is what we did this past week.

The wife was having a few “stomach issues” which could of been caused by anything from excessive drinking or new foods on ship or anything like that. So just like if you were at a theme park or still in school, you go down to the medical office and ask for some imodium or some pepto to settle her stomach. Instead they leave her in the office not telling her a thing for an hour, and then draw some blood and have her fill out a bunch of paperwork. In the end they tell her that she has to spend the next 48 hours in her cabin. And here is the kicker, they tell her I have to stay in the cabin as well for 24 hours, not because I was sick but just because I was close to her. Now I understand their concern and they said it was a CDC law since we were coming from an American port of call and they told us of a case where 200 passengers came down with “GI", but I still do not understand how a passenger can spread it especially like my wife who is a stickler for washing her hands 500 times a day. Now I can understand punishing someone on the staff, because they have a much higher chance of infecting the 200 people like they told us, but don’t ruin someones vacation.

FUCK, there went our plans to hit a nightclub in Nassau that night, and we both will miss the next port of call in Coco Cay, which we had a waverunner trip planned. She also missed all of Key West which we had planned to visit again since we went to Fantasy Fest last year. I was able to roam the streets alone but there just was an overwhelming sense of guilt doing this so after about 45 minutes of doing the essentials like picking up new batteries and hitting a BOFA for more cash I went back on the boat, oh yeah I had to pick up a beer at Sloppy Joe’s.

Unless you want to lose 2 1/2 of 3 ports of call, take our advice…..
NEVER NEVER NEVER tell the cruise staff you have an upset stomach and always bring your own medicine. Although we forgot to pack it this trip, Imodium has been our “preventative measure” for years, pop a few before an event and enjoy it!

Santas in Australia’s largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas’s traditional “ho ho ho” greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say “ha ha ha” instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use “ho ho ho” because it could frighten children and was too close to “ho", a US slang term for prostitute.

“Gimme a break,” said Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children called Kids Free 2B Kids.

“We are talking about little kids who do not understand that “ho, ho, ho” has any other connotation and nor should they,” she told the Telegraph.

“Leave Santa alone.”

A local spokesman for the US-based Westaff recruitment firm said it was “misleading” to say the company had banned Santa’s traditional greeting and it was being left up to the discretion of the individual Santa himself.

Ah, Black Friday. I prepare for the day by scouring countless websites for information, mapping out local retail outlets to make sure I can be in line when each store opens its doors. Then come Friday morning I realize that the gaming deals on Black Friday completely suck and wind up sleeping in, but still. Ah, Black Friday. Take Wal-Mart’s big gamer incentive for the shopping holiday. You can get an Xbox Arcade system with five bonus games for the low low price of $279.92! That’s a savings of $.08! Take back what I said, that’s a steal! It even comes with five bonus games! Of course, said bonus games are the XBLA titles that come bundled with the package in the first place, but you throw the word bonus in there and parents go crazy buckets all over the place, not knowing how inherently Black Friday sucks for gamers. Thanks Wal-Mart!

GOLDEN, Colo. - The man known as “Don Vito” on MTV’s show “Viva La Bam” was convicted Wednesday of two counts of sexual assault on a child.

Vincent Margera, 51, who was accused of groping three girls ages 12 to 14 during an autograph signing event last year at mall skate park in the Denver suburb of Lakewood, fell to the floor cursing and yelled, “Just kill me now.”

He was acquitted of a third count of sex assault on a child. He faces a sentence of probation to six years in prison on each conviction. If he doesn’t comply with sex offender treatment as part of the sentence, he could potentially spend life in prison, district attorney’s spokeswoman Pam Russell said.

After Margera’s courtroom outburst, deputies restrained him and took him to jail, where he was being held without bail until his sentencing hearing, set for Dec. 20.

Defense attorney Pamela Mackey had argued that when Margera appeared at the skate park, he took on the persona of the outrageous and profane Don Vito. Mackey had said that Margera, a car painter, learned that the crazier he acted, the more his fans loved it.

“Viva La Bam” starred Margera’s nephew, professional skateboarder Bam Margera.
