Black Sabbath update.
by Marty Party, posted Aug 18 2011 8:41AM

Instead of letting Tuesday's reports about Black Sabbath's reuniting for an album and tour die out, Tony Iommi's camp continues to add fuel to the fire. Ralph Baker, Iommi's manager, tells the Birmingham Mail, "[Tommy's] not denying that the guys have been talking, but there's nothing in the way that's been implied in the statements [the paper] made." Baker stops short of denying the reunion. He adds that Iommi's comments to journalist Andy Coleman were off the record. That's the reason Iommi is "pissed off -- because the story would have died a death." That's despite the story's having originally been posted on MetalTalk.net, which Baker dismisses as a "dodgy little website." Bottom line -- the story is 100 percent true, according to a very close member of the band's inner circle who did not want to go on the record with us. The band is currently recording in England.

Hey...We're Still Here!!!
by Marty Party, posted May 23 2011 5:36AM

The world did not end on Saturday, May 21st, leaving the man who predicted it would -- 89-year-old California preacher Harold Camping -- "mystified" and "a little bewildered." Don't expect Camping to issue a statement about why his prediction failed. According to Tom Evans, a board member of Camping's Family Radio International, he's laying low at his home in Oakland, California and has no plans to speak about the matter today. Evans, however, thinks that an apology is due and he wants the Family International Radio Board and Camping to meet tomorrow to figure out what move to take next. SOURCE: ABC News

Do You Have Sporting Event Pet Peeves?
by Marty Party, posted May 12 2011 7:16AM

STUPID THINGS SPORTS FANS DO Baseball season is in full swing, as are the NBA and NHL playoffs. If you're a sports fan, there's plenty to watch. And, if you're a sports fan, there are plenty of stupid things to do, such as:

Taking Your Glove to a Baseball Game -- The best case scenario is you look like a tool in the stands. The worst case is you end up on ESPN for stealing a foul ball from a little kid.

Wearing a Sports Jersey -- You're not a world-class athlete. You're probably not an athlete at all. Leave the jerseys to the guys who earned the right to wear them.

Proposing on the Jumbotron -- There is nothing right or holy about this.

Having aÂ Tat of Your Favorite Team -- Way to stay classy!

Are You A Dork At The Gym?
by Marty Party, posted May 11 2011 6:45AM

There's no doubt that exercising is good for your health, but the way you work out can draw some stares and dirty looks from others. Here are 5 ways you can be really obnoxious while working out ... 5. Wearing spandex. Very few people actually have a body that looks good in spandex. Everyone else looks ridiculous. 4. Making your workout a competition. If you're on the treadmill, the only competition is between you and yourself and doesn't involve the guy on the treadmill next to you. 3. Being the guy who sweats everywhere. Seriously -- wipe yourself, and the equipment, down. 2. Wearing shorts to run outside when the temperature is below freezing. You're not impressing anyone ... you just look crazy. 1. Loud grunting every time you exert yourself. OK, we know you're working out hard, but there's no reason to sound like a rhino in labor.

by Marty Party, posted May 9 2011 5:17AM

If you have a brain aneurysm, you might want to avoid doing the mattress mambo or drinking coffee. Dutch researchers found sex and coffee can temporarily raise the risk of the aneurysm rupturing and causing a stroke. They found that drinking coffee raises aneurysm rupture risk by 10.6 percent, vigorous exercise increases the risk by 7.9 percent and nose-blowing increases the risk by 5.4 percent. Meanwhile, sexual intercourse increases the risk by 4.3 percent. In addition to all this stuff, straining to take a dump increases rupture risk by 3.6 percent and just drinking soda increases rupture risk by 3.5 percent. Source: MyHealthNewsDaily.com

Some celebrity moms were asked about the moment when they realized, "Yup ... I'm a mom!"

Jennie Garth said she knew she was a mom when she started leaving the house with baby vomit on her clothes and would just keep going.

Kelly Rippa said she knew when she would show up to work with all sorts of bodily fluids on her sweater and would just keep working.

Rebbeca Romijn said that she knew the second she held her little baby in her arms.

Get Towed On Cinco!
by Marty Party, posted May 5 2011 7:56AM

While Cinco de Mayo is a holiday of Mexican heritage and pride, it's is often celebrated with parties that include alcohol. If you drink during your celebration,Â Triple A might be able to help. In many states, AAA will take you and your car home free of charge. AAA is offering the service to drinking driversÂ -- and you don't even have to be a member. Drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders and restaurant managers can call (800) 222-4357 (AAA-HELP) for a free tow home of up to 10 miles. Just tell the AAA operator, "I need a Tipsy Tow," and a truck will be on its way. Unfortunately, you can't make a reservation.

Growing Beards For Causes.
by Marty Party, posted May 4 2011 7:08AM

Have you heard the story about the guy in Washington who finally shaved off the beard that he'd begun growing right after 9/11? Middle school teacher Gary Weddle promised to grow his beard until Osama bin Laden was captured or killed, and after the historic event Sunday night, he joyfully picked up the razor. But that's just one example of guys using facial hair to make a statement. You see it a lot at this time of year as NHL hockey players grow playoff beards, refusing to shave until their team is eliminated or wins the Stanley Cup. Have you ever stopped shaving or given up something as a personal challenge while you waited for something to happen? What did you do? Why did you do it? And for how long did you do it?

Do Not Drink & Text: New App Saves You From Texting While Drinking.
by Marty Party, posted May 2 2011 7:33AM

Did you have a wild weekend? Was it so wild that you did some things you regret this morning ... like send drunk texts? If you're the kind ofÂ person who has the impulse to type away when wasted, then you probably would be interested in a new iPhone app called the Textalyzer, which helps keep you from sending those drunk text messages. The app lets you create a "Forbidden List" on your phone, giving you reminders not to send texts to certain people. And, best of all, forces you to complete a series of eye-hand coordination games before you can text whoever's on your list. If you're so drunk that you can't pass the test, you can't text.
