Joe Elliot why?????
I will admit I'm a fan of Def Leppard so I'm a little bit upset. But my question is why have him there if he doesn't know what way the cup goes because that means he isn't a hockey fan or at least not enough of one to have seen The Cup before. Or maybe it was just a case of not knowing how heavy it really was and just wanting to put it down. If you don't care about the pictures and links here is the story but you won't be able to watch the video either from the box.
By Greg Wyshynski
The Detroit Red Wings may be feeling a twinge of embarrassment after their 3-2 home-opening loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, in which the Stanley Cup champions passed the puck like a remedial-level pee-wee team.
That is, until Def Leppard's Joe Elliott redefined the concept of embarrassment during one of their NHL Face-Off Rocks segments at the Fox Theater in Detroit. This is what you get for booking a band from England: Drive on the wrong side of the road, place the holiest of holy hockey grails on a pedestal upside down.
Epic, epic fail. Even Draper's kid had the good sense to poop in the thing right-side up.
This was the proverbial slow-motion car crash; like on "The Price is Right," when a contestant is about to put the $199 price tag on the tube of toothpaste and the crowd simultaneously shrieks "NO! NO!"
You saw him turn the Stanley Cup the wrong way, and you just wanted to reach through the television and flip it back before he put it down. If only someone on stage had helped him. Why couldn't the drummer have lent a ... bit of moral support?
Aw, shucks, we all make mistakes. We can't stay disappointed in a band that gave the world the arena rock magnificence of "Hysteria." Heck, the scene above wasn't even the most disturbing thing we saw on Versus tonight. This was:
NO! NO! This was the first time we had seen Brian Engblom this season, and the rumors were true: He cut and/or tamed the mullet! Say it ain't so, Swedish Muppet! This is like when your stoner friend gets a job at the bank and starts wearing short-sleeved dress shirts. Engblom chopping the mop is a harbinger of the death of hockey hair; thank god Nordy decided to keep business in the front and a party in the back.

HateTheFeetLoveThePenisTattoes
In terms of people who change how they look, I think it is more of an enhancement not that I don't like how I look type of thing.
Beautiful lyrics
[Spoken]
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Yes I admit that I for some reason have all ways liked that song, maybe it is the words or that she can sign not sure, but her hottness and her being hot and signing about that can't hurt either.
I do think that both guys and girls do have body image issues. I think it is natural who doesn't want to Look Like Christian Bale or Jessica Alba. I think often it is thought of just a girls issue but it isn't really. Everyone I think has stuff they aren't happy with. I won't say that everyone wants to change things about their body, but I think most if they could would. Even if you did that doesn't mean it would make things better. Some girls with small boobs want them bigger so they will get more attention and some girls with a nice large rack say that guys only notice that and that is all they care about, both have valid points.
Now on to me. I walk a lot and stand on my feet a lot, and I used to walk a lot more. Because of this my feet take a beating. My feet are nasty. Hey I'm not a foot guy but some people have really pretty feet and toes but not me stay away. I could be totaly naked in a group orgy and my socks are staying on.
As much as I love porn (I really need to go buy some new ones to). I do think that there is some harm in it for guys. Just like Hollywood images and models can be bad for girls. I'm not saying people shouldn't try to look like the pretty people. But we need to remember that the beauty is part of what got them there. This is true in porn. Now I haven't gone out and measured guys in porn and not in porn to see if this is true, but most guys in porn and large dicks and some you think "how can that chick take that it doesn't even fit all the way in, och " . One has to remember that those guys are in porn for a reason and it won't get to you, well unless you are bigger then those guys and then you are a lucky mother fucker. So you have to remember these guys aren't trying to get the girl you are trying to pick up someplace and your penis is fine. I think that is where the self love comes in. See I'm no porn star but I love my penis I really do. I know that sounds crazy but I love how it looks and it doesn't really matter if anyone else loves how it looks, but it sure does help if someone else likes it. I'm not sure where this love comes from but it seems new. Yes in porn I love seeing some girl suck off some huge guy but that isn't really the same. Maybe it is more an aprication and an exceptance of what I have and that I love how it looks. I admit it is kinda odd, but it is the truth. But it isn't all about being about me, see if it was I would love how my feet look, so I'm saying it is a visual thing, but not sure.
I think that everyone should learn to love there own bodies and if there is something they don't like change what they don't like. But it needs to be for the right reasons like they don't like how they look and not because someone else doesn't like how they look. I know that there are things about me I would change if I could, that doesn't mean I'm not happy with who I am most of the time.
1. Good feet
2. Package longer and thicker
3. Tattooes not sure of what maybe dragons or a few really cool pictures I've thought off
4. Skin that is a little darker so that I don't burn in like an hour
5. Little bit taller and a little bit wider and thicker boned
Since I lost my train of thought I guess that is it.

Elite XC Controversy
Petruzelli in center of Elite XC storm
By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports Oct 7, 5:55 pm EDT
Seth Petruzelli, after going from nobody to national celebrity for punching out Kimbo Slice, went on the radio Monday. He delivered a shot potentially more powerful than anything he threw Saturday.
He said his original plan against Kimbo was to get him to the ground and exploit his weak wrestling skills and submission defense. It made more sense than trading punches with a street brawler who outweighed him by 30 pounds. Petruzelli said he changed his mind though.
"The promoters kind of hinted to me, and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him," he told "The Monsters in Orlando" radio show. "They didn't want me to take him down, let's just put it that way. It was worth my while to try to stand up and punch with him."
The quote spoke of an attempt to if not rig the fight, then make it favorable for Slice, the main star and cash cow of the EliteXC promotion.
Such an action would be a disaster for mixed martial arts as it attempts to convince mainstream audiences it isn't scripted pro wrestling or a farcical Toughman contest. If EliteXC gave Petruzelli money to fight one way, it would open itself to all sorts of investigations.
The allegation rocketed around the country, making bigger post-fight news than pictures of Petruzelli in drag (more on that later. Needless to say, it's been a wild couple of days for him).
EliteXC's Jared Shaw immediately denied the fixing charge to Yahoo! Sports and fellow executive Jeremy Lappen did the same to Sherdog.com.
Tuesday, Petruzelli said he got the story confused.
"What that meant was they offer a knockout bonus, submission bonuses, fight of the night bonuses," Petruzelli said in a phone interview. "I think it just got misconstrued. I wanted to have an exciting fight and I wanted the knock out bonus so I wanted to keep it standing."
So did they say anything about keeping the fight off the ground?
"They just said, 'we want to see an exciting fight no matter what happens.' I took it as I wanted the knockout bonus."
That explanation won't appease some conspiracy theorists, if only because the original statement sounds more believable.
Then there is the general distrust of the organization, where the cards often seem more show than sport. Although the last two televised cards were mostly strong, memories remain of exploding cauliflower ears, silly introductions and using the popular but unproven Slice as a headliner.
Besides, it's no secret Elite XC had a vested interest in Kimbo winning. Jared Shaw even charged the cage and screamed at the referee that Slice had been hit illegally. Shaw has since apologized for that reaction.
"He spent a lot of money to build up Kimbo," Petruzelli said. "If I saw one of my guys I spent millions on getting his face pounded I'd get upset also."
Then there's CBS, which gave up any pretense of journalism in favor of unseemly propaganda.
The network previously embarrassed itself by comparing Kimbo to great sports figures such as Tiger Woods. This time, Gus Johnson's declaration that Petruzelli's triumph was "the most incredible victory in the history of mixed martial arts" was laughably ridiculous.
The worst was Johnson repeating the party line that Slice didn't hesitate to switch opponents from an injured Ken Shamrock. That was simply a lie. Slice demanded a cash bonus on top of his $500,000 payout just to get in the cage with Petruzelli, according to Lappen.
"We made it up to him," Lappen said.
For a stretch, the replacement wasn't going to be Petruzelli but Frank Shamrock, Ken's brother. Frank said Saturday he was even cleared by the Florida commission to fight. Lappen said he didn't think that was true, although he did admit there were discussions with Frank.
CBS was certainly privy to that information since Frank was at the arena as its color commentator. It was never mentioned on the air though. Frank told Yahoo! Sports Saturday it was CBS officials who blocked him from taking on Slice.
When the broadcasts have no objectivity, perspective or news value and the promoters are openly rooting for one fighter and not the other, how can anyone believe anything these guys say or do?
For his part, Petruzelli said he wishes he hadn't made the original comment. He swears no one from EliteXC has called him and pressured a retraction.
The entire thing has put a damper on his sudden surge of fame. That and the pictures on the internet of him in drag, of course.
"Man, people aren't going to let those down, are they?" he said. "Everything in costumes was (for) Halloween. I always dress in crazy stuff. All the leather and that sort of stuff, it's all done in fun.
"I want to put that to rest right now. I'm officially 100 percent not gay," he said. "I've been happily married for two years and been with her for five years."
He laughed at the entire speculation. He laughed at a lot of things Tuesday. And who can blame him? Last week he was a part-time fighter who was competing on the non-televised undercard for a four-figure payout. His main job was owner of a Smoothie King stand.
Now he's an overnight celebrity after 4.59 million people watched him TKO Kimbo.
He just wishes he could do it again. He's begging for a rematch and the big payout it would bring.
"But I don't think he was receptive to that," Petruzelli said. "Kimbo doesn't want the rematch. He wants no part of that."
He said that dropping Slice with a single short right despite leaning back on one foot was no fluke and he can do it again.
While Kimbo had a reputation for taking punches from his YouTube videos - he often let guys take free shots that didn't faze him - Petruzelli said there's a big difference between a professional fighter and those dudes.
"The thing is, they are arm-punching," Petruzelli said. "It's like little flicks with their arms. There's no weight behind it, there's no turning of the hips. It's how you throw it and where you throw it.
"If we fight again, the same thing will happen."
EliteXC should make it happen. Only this time demand its executives stay seated and its broadcast partner at least attempt professionalism.
Everyone could use the dose of credibility.
I'm not sure if this is now a cover up, or if someone just misuderstood, but it is interesting to think about.

(Partial Nudity) Halloween Costume
1. Holding a paper all party long would get tiring quick
2. Big Houses are chilly and I hate being cold
3. Girls dressing slutty is hot, I think with guys it comes off as creepy
4. I think there might be some new people coming to the party and that might freak them out with not knowing me
5. Not sure If I meet someone if the first way to meet them is good if it is naked
6. Going to get a drink would get interesting quickly
7. If I wanted to go the green room or anyplace else I would need to take my chair and TV tray with me
8. Don't want to carry a TV tray and Chair to a party
9. As Much fun as it would be to sit around naked and have all kinds of pictures taken of me and posted on here, I would rather get that why from to much to drink, HA
10. There also a part of me that thinks it just doesn't feel right for some reason
Don't worry you won't see much in these pictures they are not the ones with the artvoice (those are by special request and a $9.99 service fee, ha). [if any one does want to see those just ask and I'll send you one or post one] If I thought I could do some slutty costume with out being crepy I would, but I'm guessing on Saturday it is off to Party City. Like if I was built wide and with muscle mass I could be an E-stripper and just where a thong and paint a big E on my chest but that won't happen. I am open to suggestions from anyone if they think of anything cool.
See they weren't too bad.

SNL and Tina Fey
A link to how Tina Fey is good for SNL
You might want to check it out there are other things you can click on in the story but here is the story if you just care about that
Politics and Palin lure viewers to "SNL"
By Paul J. Gough Mon Oct 6, 6:30 AM PDT
The politics-fueled ratings train of "Saturday Night Live" keeps rolling along this election season with Tina Fey's impersonations of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin luring viewers.
"SNL" averaged a 7.4 household rating/18 share in the metered market overnights, Nielsen Media Research said on Sunday afternoon. That's within a tenth of a rating point of its September 13 premiere, which itself was the highest-rated show since December 14, 2002, when Al Gore and Phish appeared.
"SNL" is up 49 percent in the metered markets compared with the first four weeks of last season, as well as up 42 percent this past Saturday compared to episode No. 4 last season.
As expected, Saturday's show was heavy on the politics, spoofing the recent debate between Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden.
For the third time this season, Tina Fey portrayed Palin. Cast member Jason Sudeikis was Biden, and surprise guest Queen Latifah sat in as moderator Gwen Ifill.
Once again, Fey showed that she has cornered the market on Palin impersonations, and her insistence that the GOP ticket would be all "mavericky" gained wide traction on the Web where it could be seen in numerous video postings.
Another funny moment that seemed to strike a chord with audiences was Fey (as Palin) thanking "third graders of Gladys Wood Elementary, who were so helpful to me in my debate prep."
While the rest of the late-night shows have struggled to find their footing following the 2007/2008 writers strike, "SNL" has been on a roll ever since it took on Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others at the end of last season.
The show's success with political satire only got bigger and better in September, when "SNL" opened early with a special appearance by Fey as Palin.
"Clearly, 'Saturday Night Live' and Tina Fey's spot-on creation of Sarah Palin is now a part of this election season," said ABC News political director David Chalian. "It does show a frame through which a lot of people see these candidates."
Ifill, who drew controversy before the debate with reports she was writing a book about the rise of African American politicians including Barack Obama, did not escape the satire.
Twice Latifah mentioned the book and the publication date, once Inauguration Day and the other Election Day, and said that it was available for preorder.
Also on the firing line were Biden and Scranton, Pa., the beleaguered northeastern Pennslyvania city that has been invoked by Biden (who grew up there).
"They did equal-opportunity bashing," said CNN political analyst Gloria Borger, noting that it wasn't just Palin who was the target of humor on "SNL."

I just wanted to add that who winds up winning the Election could have a Big Effect on someone's comedy future. For those people who can do impressions well they should really work on being very good at someone or everyone. I know Tina Fey isn't a cast member of SNL anymore but I think it is awesome that she does Palin so well. When McCain Wins (I do think he is going to win for multiple reasons like 1. Hillary fans are loyal to her and some of them will follow sarah or now that she is out don't care any more so dems lose votes 2. Lots of whites who say they don't care about race are liers and won't vote for barrack. 3. Most votes doesn't count it is who gets the most points) , I have felt this ever since it was him only and Barrack and Hillary where still fighting for the nomination; then at least maybe Tina Fey will be on SNL every so often playing Palin. I hope I'm wrong but that is just the fealing I get. In any event it is nice to see SNL get a little bit of a surge here. I wish Tina would come back and Just to weekend update she and Amy played so well off of each other.

I'm voting for Tina Fey?
On a side note last nights MMA was pretty good. My quick take on it was that it is odd that Shamrock Got hurt before the fight (cut with sutures) So Kimbo Slice fought someone who was going to be on the Undercard and the dude won very quickly by the way. Oh yeah and Gina Carano won her fight also. All in all it was fun to watch.

EliteXC and Bills
At least I'll be able to watch the Bills on sunday. I think it could be a very good game vs. the cardinals. I think it is a big test for the Bills. Yes I am happy and surprised they haven't lost a game yet, but they also haven't played anyone in the AFC East yet so we shall see what happens when they do. I also wonder what the 1PM game will be. Both things on CBS (rat bastards along with time warner, who I think should give people money back on there bills based on how long CBS is off of cable for) I'll be watching on my small TV in my bed room. Even though it is smaller the set up puts me closers to the TV so sometimes the picture seems bigger, well not bigger but I can see it better. On a side note I wonder if Tina Fey will be on SNL doing a debate Sketch tonight that would be pretty cool.

Not so exciting times of Peterazzi
Well Yes The Peterazzi Does Have Some Exciting Times. That being said he isn't all about glitter glam and Photos. That is right often times his life is very dull in fact. A typical day:
-wake up around 4:30 am (sometimes 5:30) and some how get out of the house within that half hour. Hop on a bus going downtown. Then catch a second bus that goes to work (West Seneca or Cheektowaga area). Then start working well most of the time at least. Work isn't all ways over at the same time. So then it is time to head home. Sometimes if someone is going in the same direction a drop off near home happens. If not then the two bus thing again. Then it is off to go online or do other computer things for a couple hours. Then time to find some TV or a movie maybe if nothing is on or something that was taped or missed by something else being on at the same time. Sometime in there Dinner and Bed. And wake up the next day. After long days sometimes by Thurs. and Friday there is a nice tiredness worked in there also. Oh yeah on a side note happy Hump Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
