Vindication

-
The folks at Metromix are hosting a pub crawl tonight as part of Detroit's Winter Blast. There won't be any special games at it; nor will there be any freak shows or other extraneous add-ons. It will simply be a whole bunch of people going from one bar to the next.

In short, it will be a lot like the pub crawls that I put together and ran quite successfully until a certain Metromix staffer convinced me to do it her way - only to have the event go down in flames.

And now Metromix is essentially taking over my template - adding in their own desire to photograph everyone who comes within 100 feet of their "street team" - and calling their own event. (Well, they are adding more bars but that's presumably so they can photograph more people. Even the biggest of partiers won't hit 15 bars in one evening.)

I can't really be upset with them for using my template because I didn't invent it. However, I do suddenly feel vindicated by this in much the same way that I felt vindicated when they got rid of the trashier elements of their web site last December.

To everyone at Metromix: Keep reading my blog. Eventually, you'll become a decent web site.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
