Daily Briefs: The Smell of Dogs Not Desire, Wake Up to Wednesday, Strip Club Expansion

The Germans named Manhattan, Kansas, and it means "whale's vagina." The 3 O'Clock A.M. blog found this video proof that Will Ferrell will be rooting for K-State over his own alma mater, USC. And now we go to Champ Kind for sports.

That's the smell of desire, my lady. Actually, it's the smell of people who have been

playing with their dogs all day and then crowded in a room way too small for them to fit. I was one of those dog-smelling people, and I shot this picture with my cell phone, which shows that my view consisted mostly of a guy in a dog-food shirt.

We showed up to voice our support for a dog park, only to have the awesomely mulleted speaker (I never caught his name) tell us that dog parks will likely never happen while the city suffers from a budget crunch. I didn't get his picture, but below is what he'd look like if he leaned against a pickup.

If you're just waking up from St. Patrick's Day: It is now Wednesday, and you will never experience March 18. It's like you traveled to Australia and missed the day altogether. The good news is that you can begin planning for next year's hangover. That's according to Tir Na Blog, which is already looking for volunteers to work next year's parade. If that idea has already led you to begin drinking, please remember to pace yourself, because you've got 363 drinking days left.

Get ready to turn your monitor upside down! This blogger figured out a way to get a-hole on the Independence Examiner's Web site. The secret: a really lame joke! Now let's all try to get fuckwad in the print edition of the Wednesday.

Strip club expansion. He he. Every news outlet in town missed the chance to make a joke about boners in the headline for the story about Temptations looking to expand. Don't they even want to end up on Jay Leno?

She's got 46 eyes. Police are looking for a woman who nabbed 23 pairs of eyeglasses from Insight Eyecare. If you need a new pair of frames, be on the lookout for a woman in print scrubs and a suitcase full of Dolce & Gabbana frames. Chances are, she'll cut you a deal.

I was meaning to take them back to the, uh, pants store. If you haven't noticed from the decrease in wit and humor in this post -- and thank you for not saying so already -- Chris Packham is on vacation. He didn't want me to say where he went, but I'm totally going to anyway! Chris, as any of his close friends know, is fulfilling his longtime dream of re-creating the images from this classic Web site. Thanks for chasing a dream, Chris.

Bought a new Desire about a month ago as a business phone however am very dissatisfied , firstly i would have about 900 contacts on my prior XDA and was able to view by business or personal, not so on Desire only by personal which is of no use particularly with no search option either. Android 2.2 is supposed to have search facility however not different view option launch date seems to differ each time . Battery pretty good approx 18 hrs medium usage. Bluetooth poor, paired with parrott car kit ok for day or so however won't connect even by unpairing and pairing new, same problem with wireless bluetooth headset........any ideas

I've got a new appreciation for Chris Packham and his ability to be funny at 7:30 in the morning. I hear he has completed the latest portion of his travels -- pretending to hold up the Tower of Pisa -- so hopefully we'll have his wit back soon.

...actually, i was good with the mullet bit.

up until i saw the pic of Mr. Meth "Soooie, Soooie, Soooie, This is How We Roll Down Here in Arkansas" Mullet that is.

that scared me so bad that my long supressed PTS (honestly earned while serving in our military forces during the 48 hour interdiction of Paris' la place pigalle over a really long weekend in April of 1987) kicked in and caused me to beat half to death the moral retard that passes for a cube mate here at work, which of course meant that management made me leave for the rest of the day AND they docked my pay!

So, no, Mr Eric "I Don't Care Who I Hurt With My Pilfered Photos" Barton, no laughs for you.

Packham is hilarious but you got to give this guy credit for the Anchorman and mullet bits. The photo of the hick had me laughing so hard my cube-mate had to save me from falling out of my chair.

Why does the city waste our time with these public meetings? The crowd was standing-room only so there's clear support for a dog park, but the city isn't doing anything because it's just too backward (and not just with hairstyles).

I cannot believe that nobody at the Examiner figured out that a** hole thing.
