He took the fifty or so students and the teachers into his office. This is the picture taken of the teachers and the governor. I am the one holding the "job application."

Teacher Strips In Front Of 15-Year-Old Students

A teacher who put on a strip show for a group of 15-year-olds is going to keep her job, but her stunt is still the talk of the school.

The teacher and students in Zalaegerszeg, western Hungary, were playing a game of truth or dare at a party when they challenged their teacher to do a striptease.

But instead of politely decline, the teacher was more than happy to oblige. She took off her top, and unzipped her trousers and before another staff member ran to covered her with a jacket.

The school's principal has defended the teacher saying "more flesh can be seen on the beach."

A quick thinking student taped the incident, check out video below:

...Tom Brady Fantasy Football Owners!

Wow! How many Fantasy players had figured their season was set by owning Tom Brady? The loss not only hurts Tom's knee, it also could hurt the pocketbook of fantasy ballers around the world.

Brady's loss to those fantasy owners could shift about $150 million in fantasy league winnings from those who had Brady to those that didn't, according to Jeff Thomas, CEO of SportsBuff.com, a fantasy sports site. Here's how the math is done.

Brady's incredible year last year, which included a record 50 touchdown passes, meant that about 50 percent of the people who drafted Brady last year won their leagues, Thomas said. With the Brady hype not bought by all, Thomas said that it was believed that about 30 percent of leagues this year would be won because of Brady.

With about $500 million in fantasy prizes on the line, that's a $150 million shift in dollars. And some think that's at the low end of the spectrum since the total value of office pools is tough to ascertain.It's not lost money--it's just a momentary shift. It's possible that in a couple weeks we could be talking about the fact that 30 percent of owners who drafted Michael Turner could wind up in the winner's circle.

This coming week will likely be the highest trafficked week in fantasy football history as players look to modify their rosters, said Chris Russo, CEO of Fantasy Sports Ventures, which operates fantasy sports marketing and media businesses. The increase could be north of 100 percent of what otherwise would have occurred, Russo noted.

Drive By Truckers Patterson Hood's Top 10 Albums

2008-09-08T19:25:00.000-05:00

By Russell Hall, Independent Mail

Athens-based rockers the Drive By Truckers are co-headlining a slew of dates this fall with The Hold Steady, who happen to be one of rock’s hottest bands. The itinerary calls for a stop at Atlanta’s Tabernacle on Nov. 1. Recently, main Trucker Patterson Hood shared his thoughts about his top 10 favorite albums.

1. Tom Waits: “Swordfishtrombones”

“This pick could as easily have been ‘Rain Dogs’ or ‘Blue Valentine,’ but alas, it had to be this one. The album is still growing on me, even after 25 years.”

2. Todd Rundgren: “Something / Anything?”

“This may be the single most important album of my childhood (since the age of 12, anyway). ‘Hello It’s Me’ is easily one of my top three fave songs. I probably learned more about songwriting from this album than from any other record.”

3. Big Star: “Third” (vinyl reissue)

“I always liked ‘Radio City’ better until I heard this album — and its new song sequence — on vinyl. It’s still pretty close, but this version is a revelation. ‘Kangaroo’ is on my top five all-time fave song list.”

4. The Glands: “The Glands”

“This is the best album ever to come out of Athens, Georgia. It’s a little hard to find, but it’s well worth the effort. In 10 years it may well move up on my list of favorites.”

5. Bob Dylan and The Band: “The Basement Tapes”

“I almost put The Band’s self-titled album here, but right now I like this one better. American music never sounded so good.”

6. Neil Young: “Tonight’s The Night”

“ ‘Rust Never Sleeps’ could have easily gone here, but this one has ‘Albuquerque’ on it, which features one of my favorite choruses ever. It sounds as if Young did that song on a bet. And won.”

7. The Rolling Stones: “Exile On Main Street”

“Here I could have substituted ‘Sticky Fingers,’ ‘Let It Bleed,’ or ‘Beggars Banquet’ (or even Liz Phair’s ‘Exile In Guyville’), but tonight I didn’t.”

8. Eddie Hinton: “Dear Y’all” (The Songwriter Sessions Vol. 1)

“This is another album that’s hard to find. It’s as great a bunch of soul songs as you’ll ever hear, stripped down to songwriter demo essentials. It gets better with every listen.”

9. The Replacements: “Tim”

“This little album inspired me to drop out of college and form Adam’s House Cat with my roommate Mike Cooley back in 1985. ‘Let It Be’ might be a better album, but this one is why I’m here doing this tonight.”

10. John Lennon: “Plastic Ono Band”

“I had to have an album by a Beatle, and this one’s my favorite. ‘Rubber Soul’ and ‘Band on the Run’ rank pretty high too.”

Z Rock - Rocks!

Z Rock, the new comedy on the Independent Film Channel, debuted in a big way, Sunday night at 10:30 CDT.

Loosely based on the true-life adventures of a band from Brooklyn, Z Rock is the story of brothers Paul and David Zablidowsky and their good friend Joey Cassata, who play in the metal band "Z02", which has opened for Kiss.
However, to make ends meet, they also perform at children's birthday parties and bar mitzvahs as "The Z Brothers".

While the stories are fictionalized, many of the situations occurred in real life.
The dialog is not scripted, and the band members do a good job with the ad-libs.

The regular cast members are talented and the guest stars were great, especially Greg Giraldo and Joan Rivers.

The scenes in the bar seemed very true-to-life, to someone who has spent some time there.

I am looking forward to the next installment next week.

Peace be unto you. Or I'll eat you!

The Chinese people call the panda "Da xiong mao," which means "giant bear cat" in Chinese. The panda is a symbol of peace in China.

From her blog:

Dog poo is funny.

A great laugh.
