Check out these cropped screencaps of a few of the photos the St. Louis Post Dispatch took of music legend Chuck Berry getting a tour of his old high school.

Wearing that damn hat.

What is up with that thing?  Did someone tell him that’s a sweet hat, so he’s rolling with it thinking he looks cool?  Did he take a boat or dingy to his old high school?  Will no one tell Chuck Berry he looks like an ass?  We’re pretty sure he knows it’s on his head since he seems like he can see his reflection in that first post.  Maybe right there he was like “Damn it.  Who put this stupid thing on me? I can’t take it off now though, I gotta just roll with it.”

Clearly at some point in your life you revert back to not being able to correctly dress yourself.  Have we reached that point?  Is this the first stage?

Lots of questions here.  That thing is the hat equivalent of Lost.

The recently relaunched Vital Voice magazine has slowly been releasing videos under the Vital Vision brand on YouTube and although they’ve all been good, nothing beats their latest: “9 Chicken Wings + Dieta Pepsi”

Ms Dieta Pepsi, expect a call or email from us.  You seem like the greatest interview of all time.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to try to figure out what category this post should fall in to.  This could take a while.

Not sure if the sorta-thaw we had yesterday loosed up the frozen crazy, but in some crazy crap was going down in the Loop around lunch time.

First at the corner of Leland and Delmar we saw a 70+ year old woman land a punch on a van as it sped through the intersection.  I mean a punch too, nothing accidental.  A freaking punch.

Not more than an hour later, we saw a woman beat the living hell out of a “gentleman” over a video game.  After raining blows to the top of his head, ignoring his pleas to the contrary, she capped off the exhibition by hawking a little lung butter on the top of his head.

Now as if getting whooped by a girl on the street at noon wasn’t bad enough, he had to be watched from less than 2 feet away by a group of onlookers.  His only exclamation, repeated countless times, was simply “Hoes be trippin man!”

Indeed.

Tower Grove Park has a new resident: A Coyote

The coyote, which is about the size of a medium-sized dog with tan and brown fur, probably has been living on squirrels and possibly wandering into nearby residential neighborhoods in search of food, he said.

On Monday afternoon, as people walked and jogged around the park, he could be seen walking around as well, easy to see with newly fallen snow. His ears appeared a bit scared and his tail was thin.

Those of you living in South City, do the wildlife a favor and leave some raw meat, small dog, or your youngest born out on your porch tonight.

[Park officials] don’t think the animal poses any threat to people. The animal doesn’t approach people and moves away from them when they get closer, he said.

No word yet if the Coyote is actually just a homeless midget that has turned ferrel.

Today while picking up some dinner we caught a group of gentlemen gathered around a couple of chess boards battling with each other’s wit as opposed to the chill outside.

This is St. Louis.  A warm place where friends get together via intelligent activities.

Here’s a different photo from one of our readers that on his morning dog constitutional.

It is a pile of homeless person poop neatly coiled in front of an Organic food store downtown.  Its not clear from the photo if the intent was some sort of statement on organic food or this restaurant in particular, but we do know this:  This is also St. Louis.  A place were you can clearly see some that guy duked on the sidewalk.

On my way to work to day, I saw not one but two protests!  I mean these things weren’t exactly Malcolm X worthy, but protests all the same!

First we have the “Pro Lifers” outside of the Planned Parenthood on Forest Park Parkway in Midtown.

Way to go lady.  You really changed the minds of the groggy drivers going to work and the throngs of sluts heading to Planned Parenthood at 8:30 in the morning on a Tuesday.  I’ve seen these guys out there all the time and frankly my #1 problem with them is that it seems their convictions stop when its raining.  They are kicking ass and taking names with those crusty fetus posters when the sun is out, but when they wake up to a little rain they say “Eh.  Its more grown up sperm than a baby really.  I can take a day off.”

Then in the Loop we had this rowdy bunch who wanted me to stop the U.S. government from giving Israel aid and they also wanted to end “oppression”.

How can you refuse a movement with that kind of power?!

I put a call in to President Obama, and I’ll see what I can do.  He owes me a favor…I voted for him.

Sometimes things are so awesome, you have no choice but to squeeze a sequel out.  Take Legally Blonde, wait no…Teen Wolf!…err…um…Speed!!  Nevermind.  Movies are a bad example, but Dairy Queen’s “Titz n’ Reefer Bash” from a few days back is!

Oh thats right!  Our eagled-eye’d (or horny, pot smoking) reader has spotted a change to the sign!  Note the now added “2″ on the left but still the same awesome-adding “69″ on the right.

I like to think they these parties are run by a group of rough-around-the-edges but lovable kids that have had a rough go of it and just desperately need the money a party like this brings in to keep their community center safe from an evil old white-guy developer that wants to turn it in to a movie theatre or strip mall.  The problem is that these kids can’t dance, so there goes a money-making dance show, and they can’t sing…but they can get their hands on large amounts of pot and know a bunch of sluts!  Bingo.

One of our eagle-eyed, sex-machine, chick-magnet, party-loving readers sent in these photos they snapped of the Dairy Queen sign at the corner of Lafayette Ave and South 7th Street in Soulard.

Can anyone give us any info on the “Titz ‘n Reefer bash?   I hear there were both “Titz” and “Reefer” which are really all you need for an awesome party…also, ice cream cake helps, which is why that this party being on this sign is like the harbinger of the greatest party of all time!

You wanna know else why this party seems crazy awesome?  They threw in a “69″ on the end.  Only the best things do that!  Its like a sexy, awesome version of putting a cherry on top.  Like at first I was all “Oh cool a Dairy Queen Titz ‘n Reefer party.  Eh, I think I’ll just stay in that night and watch a mo…wait!  69!  Nevermind!  I’m totally in now!  I dig it!!!!”

For the record, this works with pretty much anything.  You take something that cool and throw in a trailing “69″ Bam!  Double awesome because of the sexy 69!  Watch.  Take for instance this photo of new friend-of-the-site Craig Cheatham of KMOV, news channel 4.

Its a cool photo of my man looking all reporter-esque…but watch this:

Bam! 20% more awesome.  Consider yourself slightly more educated.

You’re welcome.

We admit, calling this a “St. Louis sighting” is a stretch, but we got the tip and we love love love this show, so we are running with it.

Jeff Lewis, from the Bravo reality show Flipping Out was spotted with “executive assistant” Jenni Pulos dining at the Outback in Cape Girardeau, MO just moments ago.

For those that don’t know the show, Jeff Lewis is a real estate “flipper” and Jenni, one of his employees, is best known for her ability to calm the neurotic Jeff down from one of his frequent flare ups.  Personally, we think that our personality would match pretty well with the dark humor of Lewis and well, we also have a little crush on Jenni,

So why is the Los Angeles real estate investor at an Outback in Cape Girardeau?  No clue.  We thought maybe he, or Jenni had family in the area, but their wikipedia page was of no help and neither was Jeff’s Facebook fan page. (Now we know, see update below!)

We are trying to track down a photo now and will update this if we have any luck.

Update – 10:37p: Our source just let us know, that after a conversation with Jeff and Jenni, we can confirm that they are in “Cape” to do a house.  Lewis and Co, have branched out to design work because of the economy and someone in Cape flew them out there to do work on their house!  …Now come do my house Jeff!
