Think I’m wrong?  Take a look at this summer’s sale of business.com ($345 million) and seo.com ($5 million).  Check out Frank Schilling’s post on the upcoming Moniker.com auction coming up in early October.  Those names are set to go for some pretty good numbers.  Want in on the action?

Get this: a guy (Kasey G. Kazee) robbed a liquor store in Ashland, Kentucky.  Now this alone is not news, but the way in which he went about it is.  In lieu of a mask, Kasey wrapped his head in duct tape (check out the picture).  Now I thought that was clever until I heard Mr. Kazee explain the situation in his own words.  Oh yeah, let me start by telling you he was caught in the parking lot of the store, so he has definitely been positively identified as the theif.  Regardless, something about his comment makes me think otherwise.  Look out for his power of persuasion.  You have been warned.

According to Mr. Kazee: “Look at me. Do I look like a duct-tape bandit baby? I’m not no duct-tape bandit. You hear me? Live one-on one Ashland, Kentucky, you know this is not me. Do the math, do the homework, man.”

You’re killin’ me.  Enjoy your $15 and your internet fame.  What in the hell is “live one-on-one”?  I know I will be using it more often.

This don’t look too good.  Thanks to Lisa Barone at Bruce Clay, Inc. for pointing this out.

Look for more buzz related information tomorrow.  I will be revealing another great buzz-related resource for those of you who love this type of information.

I am proud to announce that in our first full month of blogging we have already seen very encouraging success.  Our blog feed has been pulled nearly 1,000 times, we have already generated 100 new incoming links, page views have topped 9,000, and we are having a damn good time doin’ what we are doin’.

So what’s in the plans for the coming months?  Look for us to keep rollin’ on down the road.  If you would like to join in and help out, then let me know through the comment section below.  We need some volunteer writers with unique voices so we can let this big dog eat!  Thanks again to all you readers and to all of you who have contacted me individually with the positive comments and encouragement.  We do this for you!

This just in!  Oscar the Cat has admitted to visiting with several people over the last week.  Amazingly each of them has met their end over the last few days.  Our apologies go out to the families of the following folks.

• Ingmar Bergman
• Skip Prosser
• Tom Snyder
• Bill Walsh
• Eric Wishnie

Apparently the Grim Reaper and Father Time have taken a little time off this summer and left Oscar in charge while they are out.  It has been reported that Oscar is now on his way to Atlanta to visit with Michael Vick’s dog who was recently renamed “Loser”.  Ouch!

Look out Sturgis here I come!  That’s right, me and my hog are hittin’ the road for a little ride.  I can already here Willie Nelson singing “On the Road Again”.  Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway!  By the way, this was my Grandma’s favorite road trippin’ song.  In case you can’t tell, my Grandma was the best!

With this in mind, posting is going to be a little slow going for the next few days.  I apologize, but I am hearing the call and I am answering it.  Hello…  Sturgis…?  I’m on my way!

This leads me to one more thing: picture requests.  Yep, that’s right.  I am taking my camera and I am taking requests.  Ya wanna see some pictures of kick-ass bikes?  Scenery?  Ladies (also known as scenery)?  Parties?  Let me know and I will see what I can do.  Look for some posts early next week.  I will try to make it worth your while.

Oh yeah, even one more thing.  I am looking to start up a new website selling biker t-shirts.  I have already bought the name hogshirts.com.  All that is left to do is build the site and find someone to supply me with some sweet-ass shirts that everyone will want to gobble up.  If you are at Sturgis and you want to do some talkin, then let me know.  I will be the good-lookin biker on the olive and black 2007 Dyna Streetbob.  You can’t miss me.

Hold down the fort while I am gone.  JB over and out.

Alright already!  I realize the last post was missing the normal Yahoo Buzz section, but I was pressed for time.  Be happy with what you got. :)  So without further adieu, here is the Yahoo Buzz for today.

1. Danica McKellar photos - OK, I admit it.  I looked.  She still has a little piece of my heart that I may never get back.
2. Tom Snyder - RIP.
3. Bill Walsh - Coach of the 49ers back when I was a 49ers fan.  Joe moved on and I grew up.  Go Chiefs!  RIP Coach Walsh.
4. Ingmar Bergman - I’ve heard your name, but honestly don’t know if I’ve ever seen one of your movies.  RIP.
5. Laptop Batteries - What’s the story with this one?  Have all laptop batteries walked off the job on the same day?
6. Flashdance - Chick flick.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen this one.  Tragic.
7. Frisbee - Again, why the popularity?  Again, no good answer.  Someone please fill me in.

Here is a quick rundown of seven hot searches right now on Google.  In the interest of time, I will leave it up to you to find out more about each.

1. Robin Roberts
2. Peter Dinklage
3. Star Jones
4. Smith College
5. Robin Roberts breast cancer
6. 1998 Sarah McLachlan hit
7. Faith Hill - Who doesn’t love Faith Hill?

Now that Paris Hilton has been brought back down to earth, I thought I would take a look at some of the financial adjustments she is going to have to make.  Believe me, I am more than qualified to have this discussion.  Paris isn’t the only one who has lost sixty million dollars (don’t ask).  So Paris, you are broke and penniless.  What ever are you to do?

1. No more DUIs.  Those babies can get expensive.  Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
2. No more cute outfits for your doggie.  My Chihuahua has been wearing his birthday suit for the last eleven years and he still gets the honeys.
3. No more expensive cars.  Sorry girl, but it’s time to drive American again.
4. No more expensive hotels.  Check out the Hiltons.  They generally have clean towels and nicely located next to most major airports.
5. All your jewelry can be bought at Claire’s for a discount.  They even offer ear piercing for free.
6. You may have to watch some of your own home movies instead of renting.  :)  By the way, I still haven’t seen it and that is the truth.
7. Now you are going to have to get drunk at home before you go to the clubs.  This will save you a boatload of cash and you will be ready to roll from the time you hit the door.

Well I hope these tips help.  It’s going to get rough girl, but you can do it.  Just remember, if Grandpa’s millions aren’t available, you can always use your own.
