The White Sox let Ozzie go and have hired Robin Ventura as their new manager. Ozzie will be missed. Whenever I think about Ventura, I think about two things:
1. How his baseball cards were ALWAYS in the packages of Topps I would buy. I hated that.
2. How a 46-year-old Nolan Ryan made Robin Ventura et a knuckle-sandwich during this game on August 4, 1993. Watch it before MLB pulls it from YouTube.

This is the only jacket I ever wanted to own as a boy during the 1980s. I never did convince my mother to buy me one. I wonder what they cost back then?
For his 1982 teen gang video “Beat It,” the Jackson picked a casually cool outfit that would inspire millions to wear zipper-accented red leather jackets in a decade-defining look for the ’80s. I guess Amazon sells this jacket for adults and kids.

I would have used this when I smoked. Maybe there are a few around still. Check eBay. By the way, I kicked the habbit 8 years ago.
(Thanks James (a.k.a Tower of Power))

1. A new U2 documentary will air on Showtime at the end of October. They are also going away for a long time. Jared, do you have Showtime?
2. Karma is a bitch. Boy Throwing Rocks At Cars gets a crossbow arrow to the abdomen. That’ll learn ya!
3. What? Romney and Bachmann both slipping in the polls? This can’t be right. Oh yeah, I forgot that Perry was vetted by the GOP years ago.
4. Bummer to learn about former Wild player Pavol Demitra (and others) dying in that Russian plane crash Wednesday.
5. Not the best segway here, but virtual boarding agents might be coming to an airport near you. The lifelike 2-D holograms make eye contact, blink and smile while emitting automated phrases, such as “bonjour” and “bon voyage.” Does anyone else think this is spooky?
6. A new online video game is out called, Tea Party Zombies Must Die. Players can take aim at characters as the “Sarah Palin Zombie” and the “Michele Bachmann Zombie” and kill them. I wonder how Gabby” Giffords would feel about this?
7. KARK 4 News meteorologist Brett Cummins is in some hot water after being found in hot tub with naked dead man wearing a dog collar. (Read more)
8. Buttrock definition – If you have heard this term and don’t understand what it means, then let me enlighten you. Buttrock is a subpar genre of music where every song sounds exactly the same. It is usually produced by a band trademarked with cheap, unoriginal song lyrics, and a music that sounds manufactured and predictable. Current music that falls into this category includes Nickleback, Hinder, and Daughtry. It’s not a new term though. 15 years ago, my friends and I considered bands like Winger, Firehouse, and Warrant to be buttrock.

During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a possible Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. Here are the pictures.
Lockheed - Before
Lockheed - After
Lockheed was set up like a movie studio production. They had fake houses, trees, etc. and moved parked cars around so it looked like a residential area from the skies overhead.
The net over the plant was strong enough to walk on. Lockheed hired people to ride bicycles and move around as if they lived there to make it look authentic.
Employee cars parked under the net to avoid being seen from planes above.
*Original photo sources unknown. Info on this can be found all over the web.

How badly did you want this card when you were a kid? This was the Holy Grail of Garbage Pail Kids cards back in the day. I once held one that was severely damaged, but it didn’t matter. I was in awe. Adam Bomb was #8a in the 1st series in 1985.
During the height of the card series’ popularity, Garbage Pail Kids were banned in many schools worldwide.
Follow this link to view some of the other popular cards from the Garbage Pail Kids collection.
