So if your counting at home that is two professional athletes that have come through Casa de Yukon Fox senior year of college. I unfortunately had to stand my ground and kick Hasheem Thabeet out of my apartment during an unpredictable Spring Weekend and a few weeks before that we hosted the then future Gator, Aaron Hernandez for a few games of beer pong. My roomate requested him giving up Florida for the football mecca that is UConn if he beat him. We are still waiting for him to suit up in the blue and white. Dan you are about to get your wish, just this blue and white has some red mixed in there. That was just life as a college student for Yukon Fox, mixing it up with NBA and NFL quality athletes. Yawn.

P.S. I will not accept responsibility for Thabeets lack of production or Hernandez’s munchies.

Now just in case you want to get a little freaky in the bed room and put your face in the pillow your guy will be able to maintain the same experience of fucking a disco ball. Well to each his own I guess.

The Gaurdian -  A recipe for tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto has proved a little too spicy for Penguin Australia, after a misprint suggesting that the dish required “salt and freshly ground black people” has left the publisher reaching for the pulping machine, rather than the pepper grinder. It’s a one-word slip that only came to light after a member of the public got in touch, and which has sent all 7,000 copies of The Pasta Bible at Penguin’s warehouse to be destroyed, an exercise which head of publishing, Robert Sessions, told the Sydney Morning Herald would cost $ 20,000.

That is just disgusting. I mean what kind of cookbook is this. Sardines in tagliatelle? Thats just gross. I’ll stick to the recipe for Cream of Sum Yung Gui.

Gothamist – While they go on to say the whale is still alive, the NY Post reports it was successfully euthanized after the Riverhead Foundation’s Charles Bowman shot several darts into it, and that it died sometime overnight. But, but… the same organization’s Kim Durham told Newsday this morning that “the animal is still alive”! She goes on to say that reports of it having died already are not true.

So let me get this straight. There is a poor little humpback whale washed up on like Seinfelds Hampton Beach home and they send fucking Charlie Baileygates to put a couple rounds in this things mellon. Only it just won’t die. How ironic is it that they are trying to do the humane thing and put it out of its misery and the thing just keeps coming back to life except with a few more holes in its head. What if this thing is trying to catch a tan in this 90 degree weather and all anybody wants to do is put a couple darts in it. I mean they haven’t even looked into whether its like Kristie Alley or Rosie O’Donnell or something. Anyway the thing is lucky to be alive.

Note: See “Me Myself and Irene” for references to Charlie Baileygates and “the thing is lucky to be alive”

So I don’t expect too many to know / care who this guy is and the only reason I know is because work has caused me to read every sentence of blogs like the Gothamist just to get me through the day and they love talking about this guy. So this is Justin Massler. Apparently this is a homeless man that is stalking Ivanka Trump, ‘ol Donny’s daughter. Who knows how but this resourceful man of the streets started a blog dedicated to his fantasies of being saved by Ivanka and them living happily ever after. And while he ended up getting thrown in jail and a restraining order put against him I can’t help but be in impressed with his blog. Granted he was only able to post two items before they realized he was a crazy. There was definitly some good material in there though. I think the biggest area that this guy could help us with is the comic strip portion of BPS. This guy is obviously a vetern of the funnies portion of the paper and I think he could put something together for us. I mean I could do without every comic ending with him dead on the ground because while dead homeless stalkers are funny, it can dry up pretty quick. Plus I mean this guy has ambition. He is not going to let a little old restraining order keep him down. He is just going to use his time away from his lady to become a real estate millionaire and his connections with best selling authors to learn the best ways to woo the finest women. Anyway Justin, If your interested in throwing some comic strips together we would love to have you on the BPS team as soon as your allowed back in the state of New York. You’ll have to supply your own sombrero.

Huffington Post – [James] Harrison has a rare antibody in his blood that can save babies with Rhesus disease, a deadly form of anemia. Because of his unique blood type, Harrison was also asked to undergo testing to help doctors find a way to prevent the disease. Over his 56 years of donating blood and helping to find cures, it is estimated that Harrison’s contributions have saved over 2 million babies.

Suck it Sully. You only save, what, 150 or so people by safely landing a plan in the Hudson? But you killed a flock of geese in the process? Sounds like you value the aviator over the avian, not what I would call a hero. This guy has spent the last 56 years of his life saving babies sacrificing nothing but his own blood. I like to think I have magic blood also because when Loisaida Sam came down with the Swine Flu I sat right by him day in and day out watching Seinfeld and Jeopardy and didn’t even get a sniffle. So if anyone wants to avoid the swine for the rest of their lives, I’ll be selling pints for $5,000. Anyway congratulations to this human blood bank because not many guys stand a chance competing with this guy at a bar picking up chicks. My only hero story is the time The Incident was about to enjoy a glass of milk because he thought expiration date wasn’t until the next day but I was like “wait a second The Incident, did you forget there is a seperate NYC expiration date?” Yeah that could have been ugly.

For the many of you that work in the downtown Financial District of NYC, you might find one of your daily morning routines to include walking by this guy dressed up in a Panda suit.  Everytime I see this panda he’s got his head down in a mopey, sad motion.  Like what’s your deal dude?  Did the rest of your Panda suit wearing family die in some sort of purge or something.  Get over it man.  Like I know the economy is shit right now but at least you got a job.  And you think you’re making a statement with your mini panda bank?  You don’t see the bums asking for change on the subway carrying a cup that looks like it hasn’t shaved in two years and reaks of left over Taco Bell.  Cheer up Panda suit guy, it could be worse, you could be the Philly Phanatic.

We seem to have figured out why the Republicans do not get along with Obama.  It has nothing to do with his health care reform or his policies.  It’s all comes down to what hes packing.  The Republicans just feel inferior that America has elected a well-educated black man who very well has a great chance of being well-endowed.  Don’t worry Obama, I’m with you.  I know exactly how it feels to have the white man be jealous of the size of my package.

This came out last year and I had seen it before but was reminded of it today. Damien Walters is getting more and more exposure because of this video and has now joined Jackie Chan’s Stunt Team and has started a YouTube web series. It makes you feel like a waste of space but still check it out.
