Let The Horror Begin -- 23 Shrieking Nights' Worth -- At Universal Orlando Resort

New Line Cinema's Freddy, Jason and Leatherface Headline Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights 17

Madness, mayhem and horror will be unleashed tonight at Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights - the largest, most intense Halloween event in the country. Jack, The Clown Prince of Halloween, invites you inside his "Carnival of Carnage." Once inside, there's no turning back as curiosity becomes panic becomes fear becomes physical and psychological terror.

This year, Halloween Horror Nights 17 becomes the most extreme, fear- filled event in its history. With its leading cast of modern day horror icons, guests will come face-to-face with New Line Cinema's Freddy Krueger, Jason and Leatherface for the first time ever - and they will find the fear so real they will wish it were just a movie.

The Carnival of Carnage creates an unprecedented level of fear. Universal Orlando is creating more haunted houses, more Halloween-themed shows -- and adding more event nights -- than ever before. And, of course, every carnival needs a clown. And when it comes to clowns, there is only one that is maniacal and twisted enough to be Ringmaster for the Carnival of Carnage. That would be Jack.

Halloween Horror Nights runs 23 nights and features eight all-new haunted houses - three of which are created around New Line's Freddy Krueger, Jason and Leatherface. There will also be four new shows - more than ever before - including a show dedicated to Jack, a tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and an even more excellent and irreverent version of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure."

Halloween Horror Nights will run from September 28-29 through October 4-7, 11-14, 18-21, 24-28, and Oct. 31-Nov. 3. Advance tickets and vacation packages are on sale now.

Halloween Horror Nights is a special ticket event and is $64.95 plus tax. Florida residents can save up to $30 off the full admission price of Halloween Horror Nights 17 tickets. For more information on discounts and travel packages, or to purchase tickets, guests may call 407-224-5500 or visit the event's website at http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com. Event tickets are also available at the front gate of the theme parks and select outlets such as Publix Supermarkets and Ticketmaster. Because of the event's popularity, tickets are expected to sell out and should be purchased far in advance.

Tommy Lee vs. Kid Rock Battle Being Increased to $5 Million

Las Vegas Entertainer Jeff Beacher Ups the Ante for Rockers

Even if you have been sleeping under a rock these past two weeks, you still would have heard about the Kid Rock and Tommy Lee fight at the MTV Video Music Awards. You would have also learned that about a week ago, Jeff Beacher, the man who was voted by Rolling Stone "The Best Showman on The Strip," had put out an offer for the two to fight in the ring for a $1 million dollar winner-takes-all grand prize. Beacher was quoted by New York Post's Page Six as saying, "What better way to settle their differences then to slug it out in the ring!"

Beacher's initial $1 million dollar offer did not go unnoticed by the boxing elite. Beacher has just teamed up with legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum, now offering the winner of the fight $5 million.

Beacher says, "I've teamed up with legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum and we raised the prize to $5 million. Who better than to partner with than the great Bob Arum to promote this fight and make it a reality! Mr. Arum has put together great fights such as Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Marvin Hagler and Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman. The sky's the limit on what we can do together with this event."

Beacher's Madhouse is a popular playground in Las Vegas for young Hollywood and mega-celebrities alike.

leading contenders are:

Would You Cross This Bridge?

Okay here's my fear of heights coming into play again. I have a hard time just looking at this bridge without feeling a little light headed. Remember too that you're walking across this thing NOT driving. I might be able to cross this bridge if someone held a gun to my head. Other than that, sorry.

Hold On For Your Life

If you're familiar with this blog you know that I'm not fond of heights. Now I found this video of a narrow boat bridge crossing called the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct in North Wales. As if the height wasn’t scary enough, only the side walkable by pedestrians is guarded by a rail. if you’re on a narrowboat crossing the valley and you’re even slightly afraid of heights, it’s not advisable to look to the right.

Last Photo Ever Taken Of Elvis Presley

He didn't look that ill, it has to be said. This photo was taken at 12.28am on 16th August 1977, just three hours before Elvis Presley finally left the building. It's of Elvis sitting in his car, pulling into Graceland for the last ever time after a night out.

Sunset over Europe and Africa from space. Is it a FAKE?

The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting -- half of the picture is in night.

The bright dots you see are the cities lights. The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert. Note how the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and how it's still daylight in London, Lisbon, and Madrid. The sun is still shining on the Straight of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further south, close to the farthest western point of Africa, the Cape Verde Islands. Note how the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during daytime and nighttime. To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.

Can you tell which kid might be headed for a life of crime?

It's impossible to tell. I did the same thing in a class photo when I was about his age. And I'm happy to say that I have never been arrested or in serious trouble with the law. But, it's still a funny photo.

One More Reason To Hate The New England Patriots.

Like I really needed one to begin with. You see I am a die hard Miami Dolphin fan and everyone knows you can't be a Miami fan and like either the Patriots, Jets or especially the Bills. So the news that the Patriots is just more fodder for the cannon of why they are hated here in Florida. Not to mention that Bill Belichick is just a creepy guy. That time he snubbed his former assistant and now Jets head coach Eric Mangini is just one example. That fact that he uses the Dolphins as his personal farm club is yet another. And thirdly... well I don't need any other examples damn it.

Belichick deserves the $500,000 fine and the lose of a draft pick do be determined will hurt even more. Do I sound bitter, you're damn right I'm bitter. They're have great players that make up a great team, that I love to hate. Go Dolphins!

Flyfishing The Manistee River In Michigan

It's been a week since my camping trip to the Manistee River in Michigan. Because of the warm weather the salmon had not really started their run in large numbers. We were able to land one nice 32 inch King and lost another after a long strong run. The weather was beautiful 70's during the day and mid 50's t night. I can tell you that large quantities of adult beverages were consumed that week.

We also saw a variety of wildlife, deer, bobcats, wild turkey and bald eagles. I had the opportunity to visit the town of Manistee and Lundford. I was particularly impressed with the flower lined main street of Lundsford and it's small town beauty. I can also testify to the great burgers at Michael's downtown.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit this beautiful part of the country I highly recommend it. The pictures are of myself fly fishing in the Little Manistee and myself, and two brother in laws Steve and Mike. There is also a group shot of myself with from left Mike, Gordon and Steve.

Greatest Mugshot Ever Taken.

Mugger Who Licks Woman's Toes Charged With Robbery

St. Paul A St. Paul man has been charged with robbery after police say he robbed a woman of her keys and cell phone then took off her shoes and licked her toes.

According to the criminal complaint, Carlton Jermaine Davis, 26, approached a woman who was leaving work around 1 a.m. Saturday. He said to her, in a very demanding voice, "put your cell phone and purse inside the bag".

The complaint said that the 24-year-old woman was frightened so she complied. After giving Davis her belongings he demanded she take her shoes off. She complied and Davis responded "Now I'm going to suck your feet".

The victim told police that she was too shocked and scared to do anything. Davis then tried to suck her neck but as he approached her some people walked by and he took off.

Police arrested the man a few minutes later about four blocks away. The woman identified the suspect and police were able to recover her keys and phone.

Davis has been charged with simple robbery and theft from a person, both felonies and his bail is set at $20,000.

In Memory To Those Who Died

What do you get when you mix a cold beer with some really good weed?

You get Cannabia of course.

Shit! Here is another example of an idea I wish I had come up with. Now I'm really behind the 8 ball.

It was born in March 1996, when Germany officially authorized the cultivation of hemp,
the so called "fibre hemp". Some dude approached an organic brewer to convince hime to brew a "hemp beer" in a traditionally brewing way, an organic and pure hemp beer ...with Bavarian spring water and organic hemp?

Working closely with four traditional and respected brewers until December 1996, they looked into what where the very best hand-harvested organic grown hemp to use. Click here to check out their website.

More Proof That Cheetos and Meth Don't Mix

Spelling mistake leads to French town

A trio of Norwegian tourists intent on holidaying in Greece ended up in a small French town due to a spelling mistake when they booked the trip on the Internet.

The tourists, reportedly called Knut, Bente and Marit, were trying to make it to the sunny holiday destination of Rhodes. However they ended up in the remote medieval French town of Rodez, in the mountainous Aveyron region.

Florence Taillefer, head of the Rodez tourism office, told Reuters: "We were told of the mistake when the three tourists arrived at the airport and we tried to make their stay as agreeable as possible before they decided to return to Norway." Rodez is mostly known for its 80-metre tall 13th century cathedral and medieval town square.

An average of ten tourists per year show up at the town having mistaken it for the Greek island of Rhodes. Rhodes, situated in the Aegean Sea, is known for its beautiful white beaches and temperate climate.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does, Again.

Don't you love it when stupid people do stupid things? I do. Here is another example of the frightfully ignorant. Click here for the pics.

I got drunk, lost my pants, and $41,000.

Here is yet another story of a dumb Ass drunk. What do you tell your wife and kids after something like this appears on CNN? The guy says he doesn't remember what happened after he left the bar????


Pants found on street with $41,000 check

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin (AP) -- It was embarrassing enough that Mark Stahnke woke up in a neighbor's yard without his pants. Then he remembered they contained a cashier's check for $41,093, meant for his son, and several hundred dollars in cash.

But he got it all back Friday, including the pants, thanks to a man and his dog. Stahnke said he doesn't know what happened between when he left the bar and when he woke up the next morning, and police were skeptical when he filed a report on Monday.

"We're used to hearing weird stories, but with his intoxication we figured this one would be different, that the amount of money wouldn't be exact," Police Lt. William Graham said. "How do you get so intoxicated that you lose your pants?" Stahnke said he had met his son at a bar and doesn't remember much afterward.

"I woke up cold not knowing where the heck I was, and I didn't realize it at first because I still had my shoes and socks on," he said. "When I got up, I realized, my God, I don't have any pants." Tim Curzan's dog, Joe, found the pants at an intersection, according to a police report. He found the cashier's check and tried twice, unsuccessfully, to deliver it and the cash to where he thought the owner lived. On Wednesday, the pants were still at the intersection, so Curzan took them to the police, who contacted Stahnke to claim his belongings.
