OMG!! I went to bed with the news that 12 of the 13 West Virginia coal miners were found alive. The families were so happy. They were in church singing and praying and giving thanks and praise to God for a miracle. I had tears in my eyes when I saw the news on tv. I woke up this morning to hear that they gave the families the WRONG information, and in fact, 12 miners are dead and 1 is hanging onto life. How incredibly heartbreaking. Man does that suck hard.

Anyways, Penn State won the Orange Bowl in triple overtime. 26 - 23

David Lee Roth says Van Halen reunion 'inevitable'

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Reuniting the original Van Halen lineup is just a matter of time, according to former vocalist David Lee Roth.

"I talked to the drummer (Alex Van Halen) about a week ago," the band's former lead singer told the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. "And I think, eventually, the inevitable will happen."

"It definitely won't be rockers with walkers," he added, seemingly indicating that a reunion is in the near, as opposed to distant, future. "Getting onstage and singing 'Dance the Night Away' -- let me tell you how difficult that isn't going to be."

The comments came in a Q&A about Roth's new career: morning radio host. Once one of rock's notorious bad boys, the 51-year-old performer debuted Tuesday in the 6 a.m.-10 a.m. slot on more than a half dozen stations that formerly broadcast Howard Stern, who will debut on Sirius Satellite Radio January 16.

Along with Alex and Eddie Van Halen (guitar) and Michael Anthony (bass), Roth is a founding member of Van Halen, who recorded and performed with the band from the mid 1970s until his exit in 1985. When his replacement, Sammy Hagar, left Van Halen in 1996, Roth recorded a pair of new songs with his former bandmates for a career retrospective, but tensions kept the reunion from progressing any further.

After Van Halen parted ways with former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone after a dismally received 1998 album, Roth once again tested the waters with his old crew, but the project's momentum sagged when Eddie Van Halen was diagnosed with cancer.

Roth, whose solo career started off promisingly with hit remakes of "Just a Gigolo" and "California Girls," has seen his star fade substantially from his glory days. In recent years he has recorded and toured sporadically, including a summer 2002 co-headlining jaunt with Hagar; he has also worked as an emergency medical technician in New York, gaining his certification in 2004.

But for now, Roth's concentration is on his radio career, based at "92.3 Free FM" WFNY New York, formerly known as WXRK and "K-Rock."

"Where do you start on a gig like this?" he asked on the air, before answering his own question with a post-New Year's discussion of what to eat when you have a hangover. For Roth, it's "a two-cheeseburger happy meal super-sized with a Coke."

In his first hour, Roth also reminisced about listening to radio for the first time as a child in the early '60s. He briefly sang along to a soul song and made suggestions about what should be done with the space at Ground Zero in New York's lower Manhattan.

Roth didn't wrangle any rock royalty guests to help him through his first syndicated show, though he did take one jab at an old bandmate. When WFNY had difficulty putting callers on the air, Roth quipped, "Who's manning the phones, Eddie Van Halen?"

But despite that and plenty of public feuding with his old band, some of it aired in his 1997 autobiography, "Crazy From the Heat," Roth holds his career with Van Halen in an honorable place.

aww chelly, nooooooooooo :(

WHY and HOW could they make a mistake like that??? It's almost incomprehensible....those poor families. RIP to those miners that didn't make it.

Suzie - Check your e-mail. I'm sorry...

For all those football fans out there

One day, while driving along, I saw a priest. I thought I would do a good deed, so I pulled over and asked the priest "where are you going Father?"

"I'm going to give mass at St. Francis Church, about 2 miles down the road," replied the priest.

"Climb in, Father! I'll give you a lift!"

The priest climbed into the rear passenger seat, and we continued down the road. Suddenly, I saw a Pittsburgh fan walking down the road, with that "P" shirt on and I instinctively swerved as if to hit him. But, as usual, I swerved back into the road just in time. Even though I was certain that I had missed the guy, I still heard a loud "THUD." Not understanding where the noise came from, I glanced in my mirrors but still didn't see anything.

I then remembered the priest, and turned to the priest and said, "Sorry Father, I almost hit that Pittsburgh fan." "That's OK," replied the priest, "I got him with the door."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Three football fans were on their way to watch the games when one noticed a foot sticking out of the bushes by the side of the road. They stopped and discovered a beautiful nude female, dead drunk. Out of respect and propriety, the Bengals fan took off his cap and placed it over her right breast. The 49ers fan took off his cap and placed it over her left breast.

Following their lead, the Steelers fan took off his cap and placed it over her crotch.

The police were called and when the officer arrived, he conducted his inspection.

First, he lifted up the Bengals cap, replaced it, and wrote down some notes.

Next, he lifted the 49ers cap, replaced it, and wrote down some more notes.

The officer then lifted the Steelers cap, replaced it, then lifted it again, replaced it, lifted it a third time, and replaced it one last time.

The Steelers fan was getting upset and finally asked, "What are you, a pervert or something? Why do you keep lifting and looking, lifting and looking?"

"Well," said the officer, "I am simply surprised. Normally when I look under a Steelers hat, I find an asshole."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four football fans go rock climbing one afternoon, a Bengals fan, a Browns fan, a Steelers fan and a Ravens fan. They had been arguing all the way up the mountain about who among them was the most "die-hard" fan.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, the Ravens fan proclaimed to the others...."This is for the Baltimore Ravens!" and promptly threw himself off the mountain as a form of sacrifice. Not to be outdone by the Ravens fan, the Steelers fan jumped up and said.... "This is for the Pittsburgh Steelers!" and then threw himself off the mountain, again as a form of sacrifice.

Refusing to be outdone by the Ravens and Steelers fans, the Bengals fan rose to his feet and yelled at the top of his lungs, "This is for the Cincinnati Bengals!" and without any hesitation, pushed the Cleveland Browns fan off the mountain.

Three little ducks go into a Bar..............................

"Say, what's your name?" the bartender asked the first duck.

"Huey," was the reply.

"How's your day been, Huey?"

"Great. Lovely day. Had a ball. Been in and out of puddles all day. What else could a duck want?" said Huey.

"Oh. That's nice," said the bartender. He turned to the second duck, "Hi, and what's your name?"

"Dewey," came the answer from duck number two.

"So how's your day been, Dewey! ?" he asked.

"Great. Lovely day. I've had a ball too. Been in and out of puddles all day myself. What else could a duck want?"

The bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So, you must be Louie?"

"No," she said, batting her eyelashes.
