Police near Washington, D.C. pulled over a suspicious vehicle on a road restricted to four-wheel vehicles after the September 11th bombing of the Pentagon. These hot dogs made a wrong turn and ended up getting their buns roasted. When interviewed, the police thought their story was “bologna.”

Small Town Ecstasy Update

Here’s an update on the Dad from the HBO documentary, Small Town Ecstasy. If you remember my earlier post, Small Town Ecstasy focused on a man who starts going to raves and dropping ecstasy with his children. He’s been charged with child endangerment based on the footage in the film. Makes you wonder why people would agree to having their crimes taped. Guess we’ll have to ask R. Kelly.

Winning Golf and Another Review

Last Friday, my friend Troy and I teamed up with FOX25’s Butch Sterns and his friend Bobby to win the David McGrath Memorial Golf Tournament in Pembroke, MA. We carded a minus 4 in unbelievably difficult weather condition - a driving, chilling rain on an already wet course. It was a fun time, and Butch and Bobby were a great pair to spend a few hours on the links with. The tournament also helped raise some money for a worthy cause.

I’ve also added a new review to the Reviews page. Check out my thoughts on Carter Beats the Devil, a book by Glen David Gold. It’s a great novel set in the roaring 20s that shows you the inside of the great magicians of the golden era of magic. Pick up a copy by clicking through the links on the Reviews page. Later!

A New Review and Revenue

I’ve added a new review to the Reviews page. Check out my thoughts on Chris Isaak’s new album, Always Got Tonight. I’ve also added a new joke from my brother, Richie, which tickled my funny bone. In addition, I’ve signed up for the Amazon.com Associates Program, which allows me to make a small pittance from you folks who click through my site to the Amazon.com site. This will help defray the costs of chuckbutt.com, and help keep the love flowing.

A Diet I Can’t Stick To

Finally, a diet for those who don’t like to spend money on food. It seems there’s evidence that a starvation-type diet can extend your life by as much as 30% over even a healthy, low-fat diet. This article from MSNBC.com outlines the effects of a calorie-deprived diet on monkeys, rats, and other creatures. Based on my daily caloric intake, I’d guess I have about three weeks left.
