Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s clothing line from Adidas went on sale yesterday morning, and were his fans excited:
"We've already seen him," Earnhardt fan Krystle Forsythe said, standing at the front of the line. "We've been stalking him all week." . . . Judging by the scene outside the Sports Authority store across the street from Daytona International Speedway on Friday, the new clothing line could become the racing equivalent to Apple's iPhone or Nintendo's Wii. "Well, it's more important to me, because I don't have either of those," said 23-year-old Forsythe.
You don't say, Krystle with a 'K'. I don't have either of those things either. Where are you from darling?
She and her mother, Diana Brock, flew all the way down from Collingwood, Ontario, to attend Sunday's Daytona 500. And if that wasn't enough of a show of loyalty to their favorite driver — who's "just funny and he can drive really good," according to Forsythe — they also lined up early to get first crack at Earnhardt's new souvenir line. How early? Try 10:30 Thursday night. "We're from Canada, so we won't be able to get this stuff for a while," Forsythe said.
Wait, you're from Canada and you're a NASCAR fan? I'm sorry baby, but I have standards. I'd rather take my chances with some more bear urine. -KD
You probably thought you saw the last of WWF wrestler Owen Hart when he fell to his death from a catwalk at Kansas City's Kemper Arena in 1999. Well, he's back:
The talk began after a column in a student newspaper in Rhode Island suggested that there have been sightings of the ghost of Hart in Kemper’s rafters . . . “Employees (at Kemper Arena) have claimed to have seen (Hart) in the rafters wearing the costume he was wearing for his gimmick,” the newspaper wrote, “as well as the cable before he began the descent. There have also been reports of flickering lights and other power sources that seem to go on and off in some areas of the arena.” . . . Supernatural “experts” suggest that even ghosts need a power supply, which may explain the flickering lights at Kemper.
Mental note: remember the "but the ghosts are siphoning my electricity" line the next time Commonwealth Edison threatens to turn off the juice. This story might get some college kids from Rhode Island excited, but I doubt any true professional wrestlings fans will find it credible. Wrestling fans rely on reason, evidence, and deduction and are much too intelligent to avidly believe in hoaxes or fake happenings. -KD
If you think that is cruel, you obviously never had a paper route. Plus, that dog had it coming for wearing that sweater. -KD
I know that title is an oxymoron, but is was devised by a sober Irishman:
I could have done that when I was 9, except I had 3 newspaper routes to service. In fact, I still have those routes. Oh, I'm a loser, am I? Well, that kid will probably still be playing hockey when he's my age. -KD

Thanks for stopping by this weekend, tune in tomorrow for the Chief's Monday Suck-Off and other goodness. Now I have to go rob Peter to pay Paul – use my winnings from one bookie to pay off another bookie. Coincidentally, their names are Peter and Paul, and they're both married to women named Marie.
