My Dad Owns a Dealership...



Chest-bumping Bush channels frat-boy side

George Bush is showing signs he's warming to the role of lame duck president, ignoring protocols of office and engaging in some macho chest-bumping in front of the cameras with US Air Force Academy graduates.

The Texas native, who has eight months left as US president, laid on the frat-boy charm at the Colorado Springs ceremony yesterday.


Instead of congratulatory handshakes and a modest pat on the back, graduating Air Force cadets were greeted on stage by a playful president ready to bump chests or pose for the camera flexing his arm muscles, striking a football pose or blowing kisses to the crowd.

Buket Busted - helL.A.



A prolific graffiti artist known as Buket has been arrested after police watched him tag a Hollywood freeway sign in a YouTube video.

The popular video, with nearly 190,000 page views, shows Cyrus Yazdani precariously climbing underneath a bridge and tagging "Buket" on the sign in broad daylight, while cars speed by on the freeway below.

The Internet sensation was nabbed by LA police when he showed up to meet with his probation officer and received multiple charges of vandalism.

The 24-year-old with an art degree has allegedly already caused US$150,000 ($155,768) worth of damage by tagging freeway overpasses, concrete walls and buses.

2. Wu Tang - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)


Coming straight from staten island NY come Wu Tang in 93 - a group of then 9 (sometimes 10) thuggish looking performers none of which are playing any instruments - may have seemed very different at the time but resulted in one of the best albums ever. I was lucky enough to see the clan perform live (minus the deceased Ol Dirty Bastard) in the US earlier this year as they got back together for the 8 Diagrams promotional tour and they put on an unforgettable show.

Man tries selling 'slag' wife on eBay


A father-of-two who suspected his wife was having an affair with another man exacted his revenge by trying to sell her on eBay.

Paul Osborn, from the UK, booted his wife Sharon from their home and listed her on the auction website.

His description of a "lying, cheating, adulterous slag of a wife" attracted worldwide attention with bids going as high as $1,000,000 the UK's Sun newspaper reports.

Mrs Osborn denied ever having an affair and police are now investigating claims of harassment.

The 44-year-old said he had his wife's extramarital affair confirmed when he read her emails.

"I started checking her emails and I realised the rumours were true - they had been discussing their sex life together and making plans for the future," Mr Osborn was quoted as saying.

"In a fit of rage I put the advert on eBay. I later took it off because I realised it wasn’t the right thing to do. "I was just so angry."

A police complaint was made against Mr Osborn by his wife and her friend, who both have said "nothing is going on".

6. Big L - The Big Picture (2000)


Technically not a 90's album - it was released in 2000 but I figure that seeing as Big L was fatally shot in 1999, that this could qualify. For an artist that never really broke out of the underground scene, Big L managed to gain a cult following among fans, perhaps through the constant use of his music in snowboard and skate movies, and references to his lyrical skills throughout countless songs by popular artists (Eminem, Nas, GangStarr). There is a track out there that has Big L and Jay Z trading freestyle verses over a beat for over 7 minutes that sees L rip Jay Z to shreds...before anyone had ever heard of Jay. Stand out tracks on this album include Size 'Em Up, The Heist, Fall Back and Ebonics where L breaks down almost every slang term ever used by himself and other rappers.

1.The Big Picture (Intro)
2.Ebonics
3.Size ‘Em Up
4.Deadly Combination (feat. 2Pac)
5.‘98 Freestyle
6.Holdin’ It Down (feat. Stan Spit, A.G., and Miss Jones)
