It’s been a while since we’ve done a proper link post, highlighting some of the best things being said around town, so we’re gonna do one. Right now.

Joe Sports Fan: A word (give or take a thousand) about JC Corcoran…

JC Corcoran has dug himself a hole over this Pujols thing and has chosen to just keep digging, and Joe Sports Fan is calling him on his shit. Good for them! A rare moment of clarity from a media website about how much they suck…written by someone that’s not actually on the radio…hmm. Never mind about the self awareness, but still a great piece.

Off the Eaten Path: Fat & Nasty Night at Denny’s

…weird. We thought every night at Denny’s was a fat and nasty night.

Craigslist: Beautiful Angel at Dennys – m4w – 29 (Warrenton)

Our mistake! Apparently angels work at Denny’s, so it must just be a disgusting place full of ugly people only we when drive by and look in the window.

It’s boring here. Sure Japan’s got some stuff going on and Libya’s all busy with their own stuff, but St. Louis is far away from all of that and it’s boring here. Just look at this Twitter search for “#bored”:

Here’s some stuff that is going on in St. Louis, but doesn’t really count as “something” because…whatever…*yawn*

Donye Calvin killed a baby — Totally boring. Anyone can kill a baby. Hit us up after you kill a bear or mountain lion or something.

Delta Airlines wasn’t prepared for yesterday’s snow — Oh you weren’t prepared for all the snow? Just fix it and don’t be a dick to your customers. Boring!

Some dude dropped of a suspicious package at Lambert over the weekend — Wasn’t even a bomb…just some box. Boring!

Another bank got robbed — Again?! When did St. Louis turn in to “The Town“? Which was a good movie, but since these guys didn’t rob the bank in nun costumes, it’s pretty boring.

…booorrriinnng!

Lets start off Friday with some catching up on some news that while important, we didn’t deem as potentially funny as the “Web Center” and a Rally’s shootout.

1. St. Louis based online retailer w00t.com was sold to Amazon.com. What do you mean you’ve never heard of it?! …you have a tan don’t you?

2. Metro debuts new “trollies” (read: Busses with stickers on them). How does this help that fact that you can take the Metrolink downtown at night, but not back home after the bars close? Next month Metro will start just standing outside their office jingling their keys yelling “Who wants to go for a ride?!”

3. Don Coryell died. The Cardinals old coach. No, not those Cardinals. How old are you? …nevermind.

4. This might be the creepiest mugshot duo ever. They’re from Rolla. Figures one of the 7 girls there would look like this.

5. Clownvis.

If you didn’t know, we were on vacation most of last week (and it turned out, yesterday as well…whoops!).

So, what did we miss?

Now back in the saddle, here’s what we could figure out:

1. A few months back, two cops from LaGrange shot a chained dog. Now its a viral video. (See what I did there? I linked to a story the RFT did instead of just doing the repeat thing which isn’t our style…but happens. )

2. St. Louis area TGI Friday’s might be pulling a “Wendy’s”. TGI Friday’s? Eh. No big deal. You can always just go to Applebee’s or any of the other 30+ area places like them. Wendy’s though? Please come back! The nuggets, the side salads, the fries you dip in to your Frosty! So good…but not good enough to drive over to 170 and Page for.

3. A couple of AM stations talked like they mattered. KFNS is going to buy KSLG?! OMG! This is huge news! If only we were in town and had the $57 bucks in cash in our pockets! Damn.

*knock knock*

Us: Hello?

Mr. Opportunity: Hey. It’s Opportunity. Just wanted to let you know that I tried to find you last week, but you were gone.

Us: I know. Took a little vacation.

Mr. Opportunity: Well you could have had an AM radio station that came with a free drive-time show hosted by some ass that like to hear himself talk for free.

Us: Oh man…damn.

Mr. Opportunity: Yup. Sucks for you.

Us: Who did  you find Opportunity?

Mr. Opportunity: I found Dave Greene from KFNS. He was working on his time machine idea again, slipped and hit his head on the sink and decided radio still made money and he bought another AM station! …totally hit him up at the right time. Made some good commission.

Us: Nice. What’s he going to do with two AM stations?

Mr. Opportunity: Pretend he’s important and owns something that matters right up until he has to sell it like everyone else has.

Us: Ah. Makes sense…by that time, surely in the distant future, AM radio will be seen by everyone as effectively gone for all but a few key stations with huge signals.

Mr. Opportunity: Yup. Jan, 3rd 2011. Seems far away doesn’t it?

A year seems so long ago. Isn’t that what you are supposed to say when you talk about things that were a year ago? We don’t know. What we do know is that every time we hear the word long we giggle. Well no matter how you start this out, we’ve gotten a lot of new readers in the last few months, so here are some classics.

Missed Connections: Get Your Nerd Freak On!

I know what you are thinking right?  ”I wish there were photos!”  Guess whaaaaaaattttttttt!

Chris Perez We Hardly Knew Ye

Last night the Cardinals acquired the guy every one knew they wanted, Mark DeRosa, from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for “close of the future” Chris Perez

The Chicago Tribune Writes A Guide to St. Louis

Just for a second St. Louis think about any other place where you would go along with the whims of a hairy-backed drunk in a sleeveless t-shirt or a 8 year old?  Exactly, nowhere.

Kay Quinn Tweets Through Her Furlough

I know  you can find a better photo than that for your Twitter picture!  Just snap off a couple of shots on set tonight, you are definitely looking better than this old headshot these days!

Here are some links for things going on today you might be interested. Picked just for you, because we like you so much. Is that a new shirt? Looks great. Have  you been working out? …oh. Just the shirt then? Still looking good though!

1. The Cardinals lost. No the Diamondbacks are not good.
2. Someone at Boeing is striking again. Still checking if anyone other than them cares…wait all done…no.
3. The guy that writes the stuff for “gossip” columnist Jerry Berger thinks the Leisa Zigman is a celebrity. That’s cute. By cute, we mean retarded.
4. Oh being on the beach sure looks fun. JC Corcoran debates whether or not Sarah Palin got a boob job.
5. Cards Diaspora breaks down the Jeff Suppan signing. Everyone loves that Suppan “thumbs up” photo.
6. Unicornio!
