PUNCHING KITTY

The Missouri State Senate is mulling a bill that if passed, would allow various state school districts to sell advertisement space on school busses, because “Well we see it on NASCAR races!” is a great reason to do all kinds of stuff and has never lead to any safety concerns or issues what so ever.

Rep. Mike Kelley, R-Lamar, said many districts need the money after several years of tight budgets. He said advertising already is found around Missouri’s schools, and permitting ads on buses could create a new revenue stream.

Update: The video was removed from YouTube, but we have found a second copy on Ebaum’s World which is embedded below.

Original post follows…

There was quite the fight yesterday on the Meramec Community College campus and there was video, because just like all those fat Britney Spears snatch shots. as horrible as it sounds you know you gotta check it out at least once.

The video’s audio is pretty NSFW, and the video is recorded in that iPhone tall and skinny aspect ratio which is super annoying, but violates no known HR policies.

You might have not realized it, but St. Louis is one of the world’s chess epicenters. No, we have no idea why since we watch baseball, but we’d guess it has something to do with all the time we spend inside here for reasons like: “It’s too cold!”, “It’s too hot!” or “Someone’s shooting at me!” No matter the reason, St. Louis is a great place to play chess and because of that, the entire roster of the reigning collegiate chess championship team are all transferring from Texas Tech to Webster University.

We might be a forgotten metro area to some, but not the Simpsons! The townsfolk of Springfield love to make St. Louis references and some guy on the internet has pulled all those references together in to one YouTube video…why? Because the internet is awesome!

One notable Simpsons St. Louis moment is when Cardinal slugger (and now hitting coach) Mark McGwire visited Sprinfield to cover up an MLB conspiracy by hitting homeruns and hiding documents under his large hat (pictured above). We can’t think of any others, but drop them in the comments if you can think of some.

Now that shortstop Rafael Furcal has settled in with the Cardinals and his 2 year deal, he’s moving on from his previous digs in LA by putting his house on the market for 3.8 Million.

Shown above, “Casa de Furcal” is described as a “Grand Mediterranean Villa” with a “Dramatic gated two story entry with graceful curved grand staircase and travertine floors.” which sounds really nice, and possibly even nicer if we ever have someone explain to us what most of that meant.

We’ve posted some pics from Friday night’s Kyle Turley show in Blueberry Hill’s Duck Room on our Facebook page.

Turley can put on a show and in case you were wondering, his guitarist plays as good or better than his “guitar faces” would lead you to believe.

You probably didn’t see this weekend’s Saturday Night Life because you lead a fabulous lifestyle, were sleeping already, or was up but planning the following week’s drive-by shooting. (Yes, there’s planning involved in a drive-by! Who’s gonna drive? What gun should we take? At what angle should we hold the gun? Who are we trying to kill?). If that’s the case, then you missed SNL join the long line of people making fun of East St. Louis, not because of any particular recent news, just because that city sucks crazy hard and seems to take beating after beating from thugs and yet everyone likes to pretend it’s great over there and refuses to move on. It’s like Rihanna, but it’s a city in Illinois rather than a singer with great boobs.

SB Nation St. Louis hit one out of the park today with their post: “Legopiece Theater: Dugout Abbey: John Mozeliak’s Reign of Terror“

Well done @boxcar_fritz, and Mozeliak looks great in a top hat.

Need something to do tonight? Want to show your friends how brave you are? Well come on down to the Loop (No, not the “shooty” side of The Loop, the other side!) and hang with ex-Ram, current Drew Brees fan club president and friend of the site Kyle Turley.

Here’s the scoop from Gridiron Records:

Kyle makes his return to St. Louis after opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd at The Family Arena last June.  Kyle will be sharing the stage with Nashville buddy, Heath Forbes.  Come see them rock the Duck Room before they head to Columbia, MO, on Saturday and open for David Allan Coe.
