Some favorites:

A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number.

IN my column on August 22 I suggested that Sharon Osbourne was an unemployed, drugaddled, unfit mum with a litter of feral kids. This was not intended to be taken literally. I fully accept she is none of these things and sincerely apologise to Sharon and her family for my unacceptable comments. Sorry Sharon…

This article was amended on Tuesday 20 January 2009. In our entry on Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon Days, we referred to a Prairie Ho Companion; we meant a Prairie Home Companion. This has been corrected.

Garrison Keillor loves him some pussy, obviously.

You know, for something that’s $599 per ounce and is going to go up your nose, there’s surprisingly little cocaine in it.

So, I’ve got this other website, LeftyRodriguez.com, which is my immensely-popular photoblog. For some reason, it attracts massive amounts of comment spam, which goes into a moderation queue that I have to, well, moderate daily. I just got one that took a moment of head-scratching in that they kept talking about selling “dumps”, which I took to mean, at first, actual pieces of shit. But it turns out it was something not nearly as bad…it’s just stolen credit card numbers. At any rate, I challenge you to read the following and try not to think about logs of shit. Also, scammers, ICQ? Really?

Drank is a “extreme relaxation drink” (as opposed to an energy drink) aimed at the African-American market segment. Their tagline is “Slow Your Roll”. It’s can is ergonomically-designed to fit the cupholders of mid-Eighties American sedans with giant wheels and bad upholstery.

Whenever there’s a fatal accident covered by my hometown’s amateurish newspaper, the Tyler Morning Telegraph, they use this graphic on their website. Is it just me, or does it seem to be announcing the death with some level of exuberant glee?

This doesn’t seem to be overly-nice feeling.

Bob works hard at the plant and spends two nights each week bowling and plays golf every Saturday.

His wife thinks he’s pushing himself too hard, so for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club.

The doorman a the club greets them and says, “Hey, Bob! How ya doin?”

His wife is puzzled and asks if he’s been to this club before.

“Oh no,” says Bob. “He’s in my bowling team.”

When they are seated, a waitress asks Bob if he’d like his usual and brings over a Budweiser.

His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says, “How did she know that you drink Budweiser?”

“I recognize her, she’s the waitress from the golf club. I always have a Bud at the end of the 1st nine, honey.”

A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Bob, starts to rub herself all over him and says, “Hi Bobby. Want your usual table dance, big boy?”

Bob’s wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club.

Bob follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her.

Bob tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else, but his wife is having none of it.

She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him every 4 letter word in the book.

The cabby turns around and says, “Geez, Bob, you picked up a real bitch his time.”

A very loud, unattractive, hard-faced woman walks into Tesco with her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

The door greeter says, ‘Good morning and welcome to Tesco, nice children you’ve got there. Are they twins?’

The fat ugly woman stops screaming long enough to snarl ‘Of course they bloody aren’t! The oldest is nine and the youngest is seven. Why the hell would you think they’re twins?….. Do you really think they look alike, you dickhead?’

‘Absolutely not,’ replies the greeter, ‘I just can’t believe anyone would shag you twice!’
