Pugs Who Ate Owner Get New Home

OMAHA, Neb. — Two small dogs that police say fed on the body of their owner after he killed himself are headed to Indiana.

The Nebraska Humane Society says the two pugs, named Harry and Sally, will meet their new owners Tuesday.

An unidentified Indiana couple was selected from more than 250 individuals or families interested in adopting the dogs. The couple has owned pugs for several years and has been looking to rescue more.

The pugs were found with their former owner earlier this month. Police said an autopsy showed the man had been dead for about two weeks of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Humane Society officials said despite the circumstances, the dogs were unlikely to suffer from any long-term psychological effects. Link

Tragedy strikes Brooklyn gym

This is the area of Brooklyn where I  grew up. I knew the neighborhood could be rough at times, but I thought it had calmed down since then. Today I read of the sad story of Brooklyn social worker Douglas Smith, who was stabbed and clubbed with a hammer over a workout on a elliptical machine in East Flatbush gym. Difficult to believe this could happen.

A Brooklyn social worker described as "the picture of health" was slain at his neighborhood gym in a feud over exercise equipment.

Douglas Smith, 50, was knifed and clobbered with a hammer by a pair of muscleheads who attacked him as he worked out at his East Flatbush health club.

Smith died Sunday morning at Kings County Hospital, a day after he was jumped inside the cops said yesterday.

"He was a gentle giant," Smith's heartbroken father, Castello Smith, 77, said last night.

The father said he learned of his son's death from police yesterday afternoon.

"I wish I could have been with him [at the hospital]. At least he would have been able to hear my voice. I would have said, 'Dougie, this is your daddy,'" the elder Smith said.

An argument between Smith, a bodybuilding buff standing more than 6 feet tall, and a younger, scrawnier club member preceded the fatal attack, witnesses said.

TIGER, SAY UNCLE!

As we have seen, Tiger Woods has shown little discrimination in choosing women to satisfy his sexual appetite. His interests varied from young cocktail waitresses to a mature Florida mistress. From one night stands, to several year relationships, the only thing being the same was that they were all white. Now it has come to light that while he was nearly unbeatable on the golf course, in the bedroom is where his domination ended.

With the emergence of girl number 15, female bodybuilder Vera Lynn, Tiger is now known to be a fan of strong, muscular and commanding women too. "He's been a regular of Talklive for sometime now" said a spokeswoman for FemaleMuscle, the worlds largest female bodybuilding site. "He has even been know to call from a golf tournament and goes by the name Tony." It has also been learned that Tiger's handlers have arranged several wrestling matches between him and some of the top female bodybuilders in the world, where the men rarely get the upper hand. When questioned about the female bodybuilders on Talklive, his response was "They're grrreat!"

Bending over backwards for Mother Earth

With concerns mounting at the upcoming Global Warming summit the mayor of Copenhagen, Ritt BJerregaard, has urged delegates not to buy sex from the legal prostitutes in town.

So, the crafty sex workers have come up with a trick of their own. Don't buy it. The sex is FREE. Just show your summit ID badge and your good time is on us, literally. "We will not be screwed out our perfectly legal job" said Susanne Moller, spokeswoman for the workers interest group "and if you happen to also be a bodybuilder we will throw in a massage". It looks like things will be heating up in Denmark this week. One way or another.

Global-warming summiteers have been told it's uncool to buy hookers, but prostitutes have turned a trick of their own: heating up the atmosphere in Copenhagen by offering free sex to delegates.

MANster Heaven

Remember when you were a kid how jealous you were over what a great life your pet hamster had. All that food and cardboard to eat, water galore, a wheel of endless exercise, cats and children to play with and best of all he can poop on the floor. Now, thanks to the French that life can be yours. For a mere $150 you can get a hotel room with all the comforts of a rodent cage with enough sawdust on the floor to satisfy the inner hamster in all of us. With all this time and energy on their hands by not getting involved in any wars next on the Frenchmen's list is the Ant Farm room, the Cockroach Hotel and lastly, the Rat Room, which is a exact duplicate of the 33rd street subway station.

This is also a excercise wheel for bodybuilders out there.

(Warning: The video below contains a grown French man with a hamster hat running on a man-sized hamster wheel.)

Here’s a rough English translation of the first part of the video:

“It’s the possibility in 18 square meters to live an incredible experience, which is to live in a hamster’s skin. So living in the skin of a hamster, what does that mean? It means being able to put on the head of a hamster. It’s being able to eat grains like a hamster … We all know the hamster has a water bottle … You get on all fours to get to the nest like a hamster … The idea is really to live an experience, but with all the comforts of a … microwave, George who serves you coffee. Everything is here, there’s just the added ambiance of a cage and the sensation of a hamster when, for example, he runs in his hamster wheel, which is pretty funny…”

In Nantes, France, you can live in a hamster hotel.

Balloonacy

Apparently, some of this years Macy parade balloons were being stored in the same warehouse as confiscated steroid laced supplements to be used as evidence in a upcoming bodybuilding trial.

Accidental cross contamination yeilded these startling results.
Although spectators marveled at the size of this years entrants, there was a creepiness that some thought was just not normal.

Piano stairs workout

All of us can get distracted during the holidays from our healthy habits, however it is no time to slack off.
Try to employ some exercise into your holiday routine in the weeks ahead.

Hit the gym before you go out shopping.
Take the stairs as often as you can.
Buy all your giant gifts early and carry them around all day to work those pecs and shoulders. (secret bodybuilding workout tip)
Maybe even chase some random little kids around the mall for twenty minutes or so to get some cardio in. Every little bit helps and in the end you will feel better about yourself. Happy Shopping.

Far-Out Pharmacology

I originally thought that LSD meant Lori's Sleep Deprived, since I haven't slept in 27 years.

However, I recently found out that a number of people are taking the drug LSD in order to help with their anorexia or anxiety issues. Wow, maybe that's why the 60's had so much less stress and no anorexia. Maybe that is the reason some of the most famous bodybuilders were born right around that psychedelic time. Funny how everything always gets recycled from the past, TV shows, movies, fashion, now drugs.
