PUNCHING KITTY

We’ve had our little Advertising link up on the top of the site since day one, but really it had nothing there. We were playing it cool, as if we were leaning on the hood of our website with an unbuttoned jeans jacket and one leg up on the car.

Now we’re actually making a go at this.

A trip to the advertising page now gives you sample ad sizes and prices for a month of advertising on a site that’s just too cool for  your competitors. We’re talking as low as $20 a month. For our sexy readers we think about when we’re lonely because we love them so much it hurts our special parts, don’t worry: There will be no more space on this site taken up by ads than there is now. Which is good for you, the readers, and for you, the advertisers, since your ad won’t get lost in a whirlwind of blinking crap.

Friend-of-the-site, fellow St. Louis based blogger and the one that always beats us in the “Local Blogger Who Uses the Word Tits the Most” contest every year, The Beautiful Kind has bounced back in a big way from her recent brush with blog mortality. First the blog returned in record time, stronger than ever, and now, an ebook entitled The Book of Goddess: Elevating Your Desirability to Mythic Proportions.

Back in November we mentioned that apart from how stupid 101 ESPN’s fake “contest” to be Bryan Burwell’s new co-host, we thought the recently canned JC Corcoran had the job.

We were wrong about that. We were dead on however that the shadowy head used in WXOS’ banners promoting the “search” were a perfect match for Corcoran. Recently even the man himself, JC, agreed on the July 2nd installment of his “Daily Dose” segment on JCOnTheLine.com which we’ve embedded below and cued to the pertinent parts (assuming YouTube cooperates, which if it doesn’t, go here to watch it on YouTube cued up.)

Midtown restaurant The Fountain on Locust has been nominated and is now a finalist for the America’s Best Restroom contest being put on by the Cintas Corporation, who makes crappers, but probably doesn’t like people calling them “crappers”.

What’s so special about The Fountain on Locust?

The Fountain on Locust’s bathroom was picked because of its hand-painted murals, ornate fixtures and designer mirrors.

You can vote online for the final round at www.bestrestroom.com, and then go poop in your now obviously lame bathroom.

Three bail bondsmen for F & N Bail Bonds (aka Junkie’s Bail Bonds) in Festus have been charged with felony restraint and misdemeanor assault for among other things, macing a guy’s balls…really that one thing should be enough though.

The man said he went willingly with the bondsmen, but that Boyer hit him with a half-full bottle of water in the face while driving to Jefferson County, court documents filed Monday in Hillsboro say.

Its happened to us before and we’ve heard this more than a few times, so congratulations, its a pattern now St. Louis: We have retarded kids running around barking at people.

Oh we’re sorry, are you not familiar? Let us share how this usually goes…

Us: Hey! You made it.

Them: Yeah, no problems…well we got barked at, but other than that.

Us: What?

Them: We were driving down the street and some guy barked at us while waiting at a stoplight.

…also love that he’s clinging to the “VP Fair” name. We are too.

…I mean unless their door is actually locked. Just try the next house if that actually happens.

Five different families woke up Thursday morning to find their purses, wallets, and small electronics gone. Police say a burglar or burglars walked into five different houses while the homeowners slept overnight.

No one was hurt and detectives did not find any signs of forced entry (things like broken windows, busted locks) leading police to believe the crooks simply walked in through unsecured doors.

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?!”

“Live in the Web Center. This is George Sells, Fox2 news.” The Web Center?!

We were going to do exactly what every pseudo-news outpost is supposed to do in St. Louis and bite on this story that some St. Louis company is going to map Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA and will undoubtedly uncover amazing truths and far too many bat head biting references to count, but when watching the clip about the story on Fox2’s site just now, something else caught our attention…
