Maybe you’ve seen the blog Hot Chicks with Douchebags, well guess what?  We have a few examples of this meme in our very own town…and all it took to find them was a quick trip to the InsideSTL photo gallery!  Shocker right?

You know guys, I’m guessing most of you are sports fans. There’s a sport expression that falls inline with this: “Act like you’ve been there before.” You don’t need to get this excited just because someone pointed a camera at you while you happen to be standing next to a girl.

If any of these are of you, I’m sorry, but you made me do this.

If I didn’t recognize the two on the left as St. Louis Cardinals Brendan Ryan and Colby Rasmus, I would say this picture appears to be the start of an amazing douche collection.

It has it all, the guy that throws the peace sign everywhere, the “I’ve been rocking this so long it can’t possibly be ironic any longer” mustache and a straight up classic “Me Play Sports Good” face on young Colby in the middle.

Don’t get us wrong, Rasmus and Ryan are solid young players, but photos like this make us miss Larry Walker and Reggie Sanders.

We can’t speak on the details of the little girl’s room at St. Louis favorite Blueberry Hill, but in the Dude’s Room, they have these awesome pieces of wood where you are free to draw anything you want, or if you prefer, just try to inspect while you are giving back that beer you just bought.

I thought it would be fun to snap a photo [Editor's Note: This is the first time I've taken photos in the boy's room, I swear!] and take a closer look.  Get a real feel for the art work of St. Louis’ one handed artists.

Here is what you see if you are rocking one of the urinals at Blueberry Hill, see if you can find anything interesting in there…

If you take a closer look, like we did with some of the amazing, Bat Cave-level image analyzing tools we have here at Punching Kitty HQ, here’s what we found:

Pretty damn amazing huh?!  I know we were shocked by that Mona Lisa.  Really nice work being has he had to keep the aim going the whole time.

Such amazing work hanging mere feet from a constant stream of piss!  I wonder what they do with these things with they are “full”?

Saturday we went to go checkout PlaybackSTL’s music festival that took place in the Loop this weekend.  This was the most interesting thing I saw:

One might think its weird that you would go down to one of the more fun areas of St. Louis to see a music festival and you hear no music, see any signs of a festival, but instead just see a scary, chain smoking clown, but that’s apparently the way PlaybackSTL wanted it…a secret music festival.

The idea of the festival is a good one.  Get a bunch of bands, both local and outside, and get them to come play and in the process highlight both good new music, and some of the great University City venues.  However, they missed the part about letting people know about it.

Seriously.  I came to the Loop Saturday afternoon to see how it was going and check out some of their panels on different topics that could help young bands.  I knew it wasn’t a good sign when I got a parking spot with no problem.  It got worse from there.  The streets weren’t any more filled than a usual Saturday, and to my shock…no stage, no bands playing outside, no music at all.  None.  So I head in to Cicero’s, where the panels are to take place.  Once again I have to check my phone to see if this is the right day/time. There were maybe 10 people in the place and the panels were tucked away on that back stage with the door closed no less.

As you can see, the panels weren’t even close to full, despite the streets being full people that had no idea any of this was going on!

I don’t understand this at all.  Why bother having a music festival in the Loop if you aren’t going to bother using that great street atmosphere?  I asked around and I heard the same thing from a few people: The organizers thought a free, outdoor stage would take away from wristband sales.

Yes, thats a moronic way to look at it, and if thats how you feel, go do the damn thing in St. Charles, but whatever at least there was some sort of thought put in to that decision.  What about the decision to not promote the damn thing at all?  No one had an answer for that, but I did talk to several people that had no idea whatsoever that the festival was going on!  Well done.  To make matters worse, the best show of the night at the Pageant, featuring several great local acts, wasn’t even a part of the PlaybackSTL line up!

I’m not taking away anything from the bands, which I hear many of them felt guilted in to playing, rather than actually wanting to, and I’m not taking anything away from the panelists.  They all did great work, its just too bad PlaybackSTL didn’t give them the support and audience they deserved.

Last year’s attempt was much better.  There were people in the streets, a stage next to Vintage Vinyl, and a feeling of an actual festival.  This year it felt like a secret club meeting.

I do hope they do this again, and I hope they do it right the third time around.

Joe Edwards, Loop Godfather and owner of Blueberry Hill has decided to celebrate Abe Lincoln’s 200th birthday by sticking a flag in to his already amazing burger and call it the Gettysburger!  For an added touch, the burger also comes with a copy of the Gettysburg Address, because why not right?

We had one earlier today and it was of course great.

“Ugly Friend” (noun):

the friend of the hot girl who is never chosen first. She is always left alone and is very angry about it. When given the choice between the 2 the guys always chose the prettier friend and leave the ugly big nosed one out of the cold.   

You literally have to beg guys to touch the girl to give her a pity screw. 

Example: Sara is a real ugly friend.

What the hell was going on at F15teen this weekend?  STLDrunks.com has the photos above and plenty more, but I have no idea what the deal was.  At the surface, it seems like a regular bikini content, but some of these picture lead me to believe otherwise…

Was anyone there?
