Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you The Renaldo The Ensemble!  A definite highlight of my recent trip to New York City was seeing my friend John’s group perform a late night

Saturday show at the Living Room.

It’s a combination of brilliant musicianship (keyboard, guitar, conga, drums, tuba & clarinet), singing (from rap to opera, vaudeville and just plain entertainment.  It is something that you must see to believe.  You’ll need a nap though, cuz the show doesn’t start until 11pm.

Dig if you will the picture… mom’s online

logged into her favorite auction site.  She gets tired and decides to take a nap.  Her 3-year-old daughter took over the controls, and by the time she awoke the youngster had purchased a $12,300 earth mover.  So cheap auto repair the toddler had the house to herself?  That’s messed up.

This is unprecedented in the cell phone industry.  Starting today, U.S. Cellular customers with dead or dying batteries can walk into any retail store and receive a fully charged replacement for free.  Two minor catches… 1) you

need to be a U.S. Cellular customer and 2)  your phone needs to have been purchased within the

the last 18 months – but, if it’s older than 18 months, you’re likely eligible for a whole new phone anyway.

Visit the USCC site to see if your phone is eligible.

According to an article in today’s USA Today, last

year 75% of bodybuilders tested for banned substances either failed or refused to be tested.  So it’s no wonder that when drug testers showed up at a recent bodybuilding competition in Belgium, competitors scattered like cockroaches.  The majority of them headed out of the arena, and the

competition was cancelled.

The 30,000 calorie sandwich

And here I thought it had to do with a low metabolism or something… but the site thisiswhyyourefat.com sheds light on the matter – with some of the strangest and

grossest food concoctions on the

planet.  Pictured above is the 30,000 calorie sandwich:

Sandwich filled with ground beef, bacon, corn dogs, ham, pastrami, roast beef, bratwurst, braunschweiger and turkey, topped with fried mushrooms, onion rings, swiss/provolone/cheddar/feta/parmesan cheeses, lettuce and butter on a loaf white bread.

I’m fairly certain my cholesterol went up just looking at these dishes.

So

Irish budget airline Ryanair may be taking this whole cost-cutting thing to new levels. Yea, they’re considering charging passengers to use the loo.

Rochelle Turner, head of research at Which? Holiday, said: “It seems Ryanair is prepared to plumb any depth to make a fast buck and, once again, is putting profit
