…but I have at least a 5 sticker road rage temper. Aggro Drivers More Likely To Have Bumper Stickers, Says Dude In Lab Coat (first heard on the Adam Carolla Radio Show, where I perked up after hearing my Alma Mater mentioned):
Psychologist William Szlemko of Colorado State University has been studying the aggressive-driving tendencies of those who personalize their cars with stickers, vanity plates, etc., and he claims that his study shows that the more personalized “territorial markers” on a car, the more aggressive its driver is likely to be.
In another news article they said it doesn’t matter if the stickers are peaceful (”Visualize World Peace,” “Free Tibet,” et al), the results were the same.
I have a Triumph sticker that has seen the ice scraper one too many times, and an embossed fish with “N’CHIPS” in the center.

There’s a bit they run occasionally on The Adam Carolla Show called “Germany or Florida.” One of the staff reads some wacked out news story and the host and sidekick(s) try to guess if it happened in Germany or Florida.
So here’s my version, with a few edits to hide the location. Answer after the jump.
The two men […] had already tried a traditional recipe using their own blood.
But they were caught trying to recruit fellow servicemen and family members to ensure a constant flow of raw materials.
One of the soldiers posted pictures of himself on a popular […] website siphoning off their blood and adding it to a recipe for the traditional [blood] sausage using onions, bacon, spices and breadcrumbs.
The incident only came to the attention of senior officers after one of their fellow soldiers reported the fact that he had been asked to donate some blood for the scheme.
The man is reported to have said: “I have been asked to give blood for sausage-making and I want to know if this is against regulations.”
There Should Be A Law

Tom Leykis and Adam Carolla should not be allowed to go on vacation during the same week. It’s not right. It’s not fair. I can only take so much of Dave Ramsey and Leo Laporte. I scoured the iTunes store last night and right now I’m listening to a podcast about Halo 3 from Bungie, the company who developed the franchise.
