I do not watch Ultimate Fighting or Elite XC, mostly because I find the style of fighting to be (somehow) wimpier - or at least it looks wimpy when they're on the ground, trying to wrap their legs around another guy.  I'm not even a fan of fighting sports in general, but even I know who Kimbo Slice is.  He's that big-bearded scary looking man who wins all the time in mixed martial arts.

Suddenly, there was all this internet buzz about how his undefeated record had been tarnished over the weekend.  In 14 seconds.  By a replacement fighter (he was originally supposed to fight Ken Shamrock) who weighs 19 pounds less.  With pink flippin' hair. 

Watch Seth Petruzelli beat Kimbo Slice in 14 seconds and then run around like a pink-haired hyena:


And just in case you think a sport that mostly involves dudes rolling around on the floor with each other is a little gay, Seth Petruzelli is the first to admit it.  See these pictures and you'll know why he calls himself a "goofy homo."

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Brighton Beach Boutique 4 happened over the weekend in Fatboy Slim's hometown of Brighton, Eng-a-land, where the Pizzaman himself DJ'ed to a sold-out crowd of 20,000 people.  This is funny to me because a lot of people discredit Fatboy Slim for being a honky one-hit wonder with "that funk soul brother song" when in reality the opposite is true.  In fact, the 20,000 that attended is only less than the previous year's and the previous year's BBB event because of safety reasons.  For example, the first beach concert was a free show with facilities prepared for 60,000 people - over 250,000 people came and police had to shut down the event early.  This year, for safety reasons, the show was intended only for Brighton locals and just a small handful of outsiders were allowed in.

This year's show marked the debut (aka "the first annual general meeting") of The BPA, his new moniker.  New music from the forthcoming release from The Brighton Port Authority was played at the event and you can catch a few low-fidelity clips on YouTube - I love the Willy Wonka opening to his set. 

Photos from the show:



To make a long story short, I can't wait for the new album.  No release date set yet.  :(

Just like George W., she says things that just end up being funny - you'd be surprised at how many lines from Tina Fey's SNL impersonation of Sarah Palin are verbatim.  I understand why McCain chose her as a running mate, and it has nothing to do with what a fantastic job she's done with the great state of Alaska (they could secede from the Union and no one would notice).  It's all about shifting the vote from the Hilary supporters who no longer have a female to root for and, maybe, just maybe, to woo a few pervs who are more interested in eye candy than in politics.

Case in point - her 1984 swimsuit competition video is now on YouTube:


She's hotter than McCain, but it's still not as sexy as this video. 

There is still something spunky about that hair, though, and those glasses.  Like you half-expect her to show up at a bachelor party and complain about your overdue library books, or how the Dewey decimal system gets her hot...

***UPDATE: Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks of Sarah Palin that way.***

Looking for something to do this weekend?  Well, SU football has their last home game for a while on Saturday at 12:00 (they don't return to the Carrier Dome until November!) and aftewards we'll either be lamenting or celebrating the game's outcome.  Either way, let's have some fun - I'll be hosting the 40 Below Post Game Party in Hanover Square from 5-9pm with SimpleLife and The Velmas.  Ch-check it out:



And I promise not to be in my underwear again.  Well, unless you buy me a drank or four.
