The synopsis for this ‘Conan’ highlight tells you everything you need to know:

“Orb” is a cool name for a racehorse. “Timothy’s Weak Erection” is not.

Conan put together a list of lower-stakes racehorse names, and the results include Tim’s sexual problems, an O.J. Simpson reference and my personal favorite, “Disturbing German Pornography.” The Kentucky Derby is the worst, so a big thank you goes out to Conan O’Brien for giving me something to laugh about. The clip, courtesy of Team Coco, is after the jump.

Pensacola, Florida, is set to host a brand new Double-A Affiliate of The Cincinnati Reds in 2012. Pensacola Professional Baseball (who are making a huge mistake) has selected the top six finalists for the club’s Name the Team contest, and fans are voting for their favorite through May 14. Some of the choices are what you’d expect from the Minor Leagues, like the Redbones (symbolizing the “dog days of summer” and “doggone fun,” respectively), the Aviators, the Salty Dogs and the Loggerheads.

Unfortunately one of the choices is especially cute, and we may end up with another Butthead Memorial Auditorium on our hands.

Mullets

- Mullets are one of Pensacola’s most popular fish, as well as a fun, wacky team name Minor League Baseball is known for. Mullets stand for the fun, off-the-wall entertainment fans can expect at Maritime Park next season and beyond.

It's Bears vs. Packers week, which means even though the Monsters of the Midway suck this season, I'm watching the game because ancient hatreds must be cultivated or else they'll die. As I listened to the FOX Network's NFL Sunday and contemplated suicide, I was intrigued to learn that the name of FOX's football robot is Cleatus. The robot was named in write-in contest by a viewer from (surprise, surprise) Cheyenne, Wyoming. This is pretty much the worst name for a robot ever, and I'd like to see some better suggestions in the comments.  Plus, FOX already has a Cletus.

Anyway, typing 'robot' and 'fox' into a Google image search will get you many pics of the lovely Megan Fox, so enjoy. But remember, robots are dangerous. -KD
