3 CommentsAnd now for your dining and dancing pleasure, it’s time for the word stylings of Jelisa Castrodale.

You think you know how to torture, America? Waterboarding is for schoolchildren. Detainees locked in an internment camp in Iraq are mocking their captors — members of the Wisconsin National Guard — with Brett Favre jokes. Evil bastards! It all started when the National Guardsmen began decorating their trucks and other areas of Camp Cropper…

When worlds collide like this, all you can do is hold onto something sturdy and hope that you’re not sucked into some sort of black hole or space-time continuum. Apparently Marv Albert was roughed up by 50 Cent’s posse on Wednesday night in the backstage area of the Jimmy Kimmel Show in Los Angeles. What…

Cool new Hornets third jerseys to be worn at Mardi Gras time only, unveiled on Wednesday at Mardi Gras World. I pity the merry reveler who stumbles home with a snootful, turns on the television and is greeted by these colors. LSD experiment! And speaking of colorful things that make you laugh, Global Sports Frat’s…

Food for thought: If you’re a pro basketball coach whose team is a little thin on the bench, why not use one of your suspended players? Just have him trade jerseys with someone who’s active, and you’re back in business! Unfortunately, there seem to be various holes in this plan. As Turkish coach Okan Cevik…

Today comes the news that David Allen Tyner, a former Marine, college wrestler and MMA cagefighter, has surrendered in a case involving four murders and a burning house. One of those…

I know that many of you knock Larry King for a boring interview style and his decrepit appearance, but cut the man some slack. When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not. Anyway, you’ll be happy to know that the legacy is in capable hands. From TMZ comes the news that…

Band Gone Wild: Stanford band punks Joe Francis, USC, lives to tell about it
Nov 19, 2009, 12:10 PM EDT
Their antics are the stuff of legend: This is the marching band, after all, that was banned from entering the state of Oregon for 11 years following their parody of the failing logging industry at an Oregon Ducks game. And they also once entertained the crowd at halftime of a game against Notre Dame with…

Well, the ball has finally been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. On hearing that bit of news, one might assume that the Toy Hall of Fame had just been established, and that ball was among the inaugural inductees. Shockingly, you’d be wrong. The Toy Hall of Fame is 11 years old, and 41…

When I think of you I touch myself: Man charged with exposing self while viewing wrestling video
Nov 19, 2009, 10:02 AM EDT
There once was a great man, an investigative reporter from Cleveland named Carl Monday. He will forever be known to me, and many of you I’m sure, as the reporter who uncovered the great Mike Cooper library masturbation story. It was in May of 2006 when Mr. Cooper, shamelessly wearing an Ohio State sweatshirt, was…

Matt Maiocco of course is the fine 49ers beat writer for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, headquartered in a state where livestock remains on the ground, as God intended. My favorite reply to this tweet is as follows: RT @sfckoski I wouldn’t order the meatballs …. The great thing about Al Johnson’s Swedish Family Restaurant,…

Nov 18, 2009, 8:00 PM EDT
The San Diego County District Attorney’s office long ago refused to prosecute on criminal charges, but tiny, buoyant reality star Tila Tequila is not finished with the Chargers’ Shawne Merriman.

Shaq 'injury' postpones Gilbert Arenas love triangle recriminations
Nov 18, 2009, 6:15 PM EDT
So the Cavaliers are at the Wizards tonight, and a quick scan of the scheduled starters reveals … no Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq of course is suffering from what SI.com is calling a “mysterious” shoulder injury, which will keep him sidelined until at least Nov. 20. Well isn’t that convenient. Because that means he won’t have…

Disc jockey inexplicably thrown out of Sammy Sosa event for wearing brownface
Nov 18, 2009, 5:00 PM EDT
Ladies and gents, here’s Miami radio personality Enrique Santos, who thought it might be fun this past Saturday night to try and crash Sammy Sosa’s birthday party at the Fontainebleau Hotel in brownface. Actually it looked like a generous helping of spray tan, or a bottle of Just For Men that went rogue. At any…

Just so you know, it’s not going to be my habit in the future to bore you with personal details of my life. But since it’s technically our first day, I think you should know this about me: I have a goddaughter who was once driven to soccer practice in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Samantha…
