Black Friday 2009 Deals Walmart

Black Friday is just around the corner! I'm sure most of you will be heading out at the crack of dawn to take advantage of all the low, low, low priced deals. Me? I'll be sleeping in enjoying my leftovers from my Thanksgiving meal. Getting trampled to pieces at overcrowded malls at 5 in the morning to score on some $1 socks is not my idea of a good time. But whatever floats your boat!

If you are planning to adventure out into the cross-fires of Black Friday, Walmart is going to have some killer sales going on. I mean, they always have great deals. I got a tee shirt for $4 there last week. I'd imagine it's be something like $1.50 on Black Friday. For 2009's Black Friday, Walmart will be keeping their stores open for 24 hours for the entire weekend. That means you can get out there and start shopping at 2 AM if you'd like.

For starters, Walmart is offering the new BlackBerry smartphone, on a two year contract with a killer incentive. And as a super cool bonus, they'll even throw in a FREE $100 Walmart gift card. They're also having a "100 toys for $10" deal. So all you moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas better get out there! That means you can get a BlackBerry for yourself AND free toys for 10 kids!! They gotcha covered all the way around ;)

Sammy Sosa Face Change

That's right folks. Sammy Sosa, the aspiring Baseball-Hall-of-Famer admitted to bleaching his skin. Apparently he used a face cream that was supposed to soften his skin, but instead it lightened his skin color by several shades. Folks are only wondering..... is Sammy Sosa going to be the next Michael Jackson? I think not. Unlike Michael Jackson, Sosa came right out and admitted what he did. He didn't try to persuade us that his new complexion was because he had some weird skin-altering illness, or that he had a hormonal imbalance or some other outrageos bullshit that MJ tried to pull. Sammy Sosa stepped up and admitted that he used a cream which bleached his face. I don't get what the hullabaloo is about. Light skinned people darken their faces all the time. It's called TANNING. What's so wrong with dark skinned people lightening theirs?

rip us constitution

Ashleigh Kenny is causing quite the controversy about a T-Shirt she designed that says "R.I.P The US Constitution" on the front, and on the back it says "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem,” a quote by Reagan. Ashleigh's message is that our government is getting too big. She believes that because the government is getting bigger than the people, the constitution is under attack.

ambiguous genitalia

Sometimes when a child is born, it's not always obvious what gender it is, because the genitals may not appear clearly male or female. This is called ambiguous genitalia. There are several common causes of ambiguous genitalia. Hermaphroditism is one, meaning the child has both ovarian and testicular tissues and both male and female internal reproductive organs. Another cause is gonadal dysgenesis, meaning the child has an underdeveloped gonad. There is treatment for ambiguous genitalia, but it depends on the specific type of disorder. It usually includes corrective surgery to remove or create reproductive organs and may include hormone replacement therapy.

dumpster pool

On a hot day in new york, there's not a lot of places to swim. That's why a couple of folks got together and converted some big dumpsters into swimming pools and hid them in a "secret backyard" where they have very exclusive midnight pool parties. The popularity of these dumpster pools is growing, but only a select few still know the address where it all takes place.

banana boat rat

What is a banana boat rat? There is an urban legend (or not) going around about a family who took in a stray dog that ate their cat during the night! They take the dog to the vet to see what is wrong with the dog, and the vet explains that their dog is not a dog, it's in fact a banana boat rat. So what is a banana boat rat? Well we know one thing about them, they eat cats for dinner and can fool people into thinking they're dogs.

congruent angles

congruent angles have the same angle in degrees. That's all there is to it. They don't have to point in the same direction and they don't even have to be remotely the same size. As long as the angles are the same, they are congruent.

michelle obama short shorts

There's a picture going around of Michelle Obama vacationing with her family at the grand canyon. She is sporting some short shorts that are not horrendously short, a white baseball cap, sneakers and an unbuttoned blouse over a white tshirt. Shockingly, she looks a typical mom visiting the grand canyon with her family. Maybe that's because she is a mom on vacation with her family. Who woulda funk it? Michelle Obama has repeatedly made a number of fashion risks, as many critics would say. But come on people, she's the first lady. She's not a runway model, not a vogue editor, not a glamorous actress. She's a classy mom and the wife of the President of the United States! I think a lot of what she wears has a ton of class and she looks spectacular in near anything. Sure beats the hell out of Hilary Clinton!

Tiger Woods Farts!

While playing the 2009 Buick Open, Tiger Woods let one rip while waiting to take a shot! A video of Tiger and his caddy Steve Williams laughing about the incident was released onto youtube, making quite the ruckus. We love it when famous people fart. Maybe it means they're human just like the rest of us?

Anyways, Tiger Woods ended up winning the Buick so it wasn't the end of the world.

Saved By The Bell Reunion Photo - What about Screech?

In honor of the 20th year anniversary of the hit tv show, Saved By The Bell, the former cast got together to take a reunion photo. Due to Mario Lopez's busy schedule, the crew had to keep rescheduling to get everyone together. Of course nobody felt like waiting for Dustin Diamond who played Screech, possibly the most iconic characters on the show.

Dustin Diamond had fallen on some hard times after Saved By The Bell ended. That's what you get for playing a child star geek. Ask my man, Jaleel. He knows what I'm talking about. Anyways, Dustin is planning to write a tell-all book about all the stuff that went on behind the scenes on the show and his cast-mates aren't too thrilled about that and actually "banned" him from appearing in the reunion photo. I don't know, I just don't think it' the same without good ol' Screech.

Obama Heath Ledger Joker Poster Creates a Ruckus


The Obama poster where he is featured as Heath Ledger's character The Joker from the newest Batman movie - The Dark Knight - has created quite a ruckus recently. The posters began to show up, originally, in streets around the San Fransisco Bay area.

Personally I don't quite get it I mean The Joker is all about anarchy and chaos which is about the exact opposite of Socialism. But hey, they sure are some cool posters!
