How many MPGs does my body get?
I found this website that will tell you how many miles per gallon your body can produce assuming you consumed enough food to equal 1 gallon of liquid food mixed with water. You take a short survey and the website will tell you approximately how far you could walk before you passed out ran out of gas.   Apparently my body is a equivalent to a mid-sized sedan. I can’t tell if that’s good or not because personally when i hear the word sexy and 4 door sedan just doesnt come to mind. But on the other hand now-a-days everyone wants a car that gets 30 miles to the gallon so for now it’s up in the air whether its a good thing not. Weigh in with your opinion.
FREE DR. PEPPER
Soda manufacturer Dr Pepper promised a free soft drink to everyone in America if Guns N’ Roses releases its long-awaited Chinese Democracy album before the end of 2008.
Now that Axl and company have set a release date of November 23, Dr Pepper says it will make good on the offer. Those who want to claim a free soda can go to the Dr. Pepper website on November 23, enter some personal information and get a coupon for one 20-ounce drink that should arrive within the following 4 to 6 weeks. (The offer strangely said no free soda for former GNR members Slash and Buckethead.) The freebies expire in February 2009.
The band didn’t know about the promotion until it was announced in March 2008. When he heard about the proposed giveaway, Axl Rose explained: “We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr Pepper with our album Chinese Democracy, as for us, this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead’s performances are on our album, I’ll share my Dr Pepper with him.”
The “Chinese Democracy” single went online yesterday (you can listen to the whole song here and then rate its rockingness in our poll).

I’m glad to see that Triple T has come and made this new video. His office linebaker commericals crack me up.
Another one bites the dust…
Well folks it’s official I read it on Yahoo news today… EliteXC is done. It’s sad but I think everybody saw it coming. Just rack it up with the other wannabes like the International Fight League and Bodog Fighting [the site no longer exists].
I read that EXC was able to love $55 million in just 22 months of operation. I wish I could of gotten in on some of that action.
Before the embarassing Slice – Shamrock fight it looked Showtime or even CBS would pickup the company. But the nail in the coffin was the shady dealings around the main event between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock. Shamrock withdraw from the fight hours before the show was set to go live on CBS. In stepped no-name Seth Petruzelli and down went the company’s big meal ticket Kimbo Slice in 14 seconds.
Honestly I’m glad that Kimbo got beat but when I heard the news that Elite XC was folding, my mind immediately turned to my girl Gina Carano.
Fortunately I can still get my fix by watching American Gladiators. I really wanted to watch her next bout with Santos. That fight would of gotten nasty fast. I guess Affliction could flip the bill, the clothes cost enough. All I know is that UFC isn’t going to show it because Dana White has said that he has no interest in promoting women’s MMA which I can understand because I only watch to see Gina fight. I just hope that I get to see this fight on television.
Elite XC is the bastard red headed stepchild of the UFC
Tonight was kind of a let down… I feel so unfulfilled, you can even say unsatisfied… All I wanted was a nice Saturday fight night. You know, watch my favorite fighters tear into their opponents, see some cool MMA moves and then watch Kimbo Slice beat the every living crap out of Ken Shamrock.
The night started out pretty good. I went and got some buffalo wings at Wing Stop and some beer to take back to the house before the fight. I watched some undercards fight, which honestly I didn’t expect too much but those fights end up being the most interesting fights of the night.
One of the undercards was a championship fight for the Elite XC defending welterweight champ Jake Shields against the kid from England Paul Daley. Paul was actually pretty impressed with his standup game but once Jake got Paul on the ground it turned ugly pretty fast. It was basically ground and pound until Jake finally pulled off an armbar in the second round. Sorry Paul that’s why Jake is the champ, that ride home is gonna suck.
Anyone could tell right away that the Arlovski – Nelson fight was not a good matchup. I mean Nelson was carrying around an extra 30 pounds of fat and then surprise surprise Andrei knocked out Roy 3:14 into the second round, landing a nasty right hand that put Nelson face down flat on the mat. Game over… that was a boring match.
I don’t know why but I get excited when my girl Gina Carano AKA Crush (American Gladiator) fights. Poor Gina has the hardest time to make weight before her fights, this time she had to strip all the way down to make weight. At least her fight went a lot more smoothly than her weigh-in on Friday, as the face of women’s mixed-martial-arts won an unanimous decision over Kelly Kobald.
The anticipated main event between Slice and Shamrock, the Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall-of-Famer, was called off after Shamrock suffered a cut above his left eye during a light workout on Friday night. Officials were trying Saturday to get Shamrock cleared to fight, but the commission’s doctor ruled against it just hours before the broadcast.
I could easily predict that he Shamrock-Slice match was likely going to wind up as the most-watched MMA match in North American history. Although neither fighter would rank in anyone’s top-50 heavyweights, their appeal is undeniable. Shamrock became a superstar in the UFC Octagon back in the day, while Slice built his street creed by putting his back-alley fights on in the Internet.
Prior to tonight nobody had any idea who Seth Petruzelli was. That all changed 14 seconds into his showdown with Kimbo Slice. I waited all night for 14 seconds. Forget this I’m going to bed.
