DRUNK FIGHTS BUM AND COPS...LOSES BOTH 2008-05-06 11:34:00 In shocking news, one of The Flint Skinny's most loyal followers was the victim of a brutal assault last night. OK, so that isn't exactly true, but he was part of the greatest story to ever come from in front of a Mexican restaurant and a cigar shop. And I read:"I was the victim of an assault last night; that was fun. I broke up a fight between a drunk kid and a bum.I was out for a friends birthday/Cinco De Mayo and there was a drunk guy at the table next to us just getting sloppy. He left about five minutes before we did, and as he was walking out he was trying to take his shirt of in the restaurant. Then, when I get outside I see him just go running at the bum, who was probably 50. There were both little so I felt it was my duty to break it up. The bum actually took the drunk kid
10 WORST BEERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD...EVER 2008-05-06 10:54:00 Good beer is increasingly easy to find in America, and that is good news. However, there are still plenty of gag-reflex-triggering beers on the shelves, and it is time these offenders of good taste were called out.Here are my picks for the 10 worst beers in the world.10. Coors Aspen Edge If giving up carbs means giving up any semblance of body or flavor, as is the case with this "beer," it is probably better to carry a few extra pounds.9. Milwaukee's Best I understand this is a sentimental favorite of many, as it takes them back to the old days. Well, human sacrifice harkens to a simpler time, too. If you want to kill your taste buds, try battery acid — it probably tastes better.8. Sleeman Clear Lager Another low-carb entry, though here the delicate and nuanced notes of lighter fluid and
MR. T. TUESDAY VOL 8 2008-05-06 10:08:00 If there is one thing Mr. T. hates, it's people who take dives.
GAY REF DANCES FOR THE SILLY NINNIES 2008-05-06 09:52:00 A lot people already think soccer is gay. While I think there are several armies of hooligans who would disagree, and most likely kill you for even suggesting it...this guy is certainly not straight.

THE SKINNY GOES TO VEGAS 2008-05-09 10:45:00 The Skinny is traveling to the promised land to celebrate one of it's loyal followers journey into the hell that is marraige. Rest assured, he will go out on a high note. Look for the stories early next week as I am sure there will be many ridiculous tales to tell.
VAN DAMME FRIDAY! 2008-05-09 10:33:00 It may just be me, but it looks like Van Damme started the party a night early. He looks incredibly hungover in this picture. Probably shouldn't be holding a sword.
R. KELLY: THE WORLD'S GREATEST...PEDOPHILE? 2008-05-12 18:14:00 I am pretty sure R. Kelly has been on trial for my entire life. We all know he's not going to jail...so let's just get it over with and say Not Guilty.
TONY ROMO SIGNS TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME...KIND OF 2008-05-12 18:03:00 This may be the worst performance of a 1st grade caliber song since Jeff Gordon referred to Wrigley Field as Wrigley Stadium...and wasn't sure for whom he was supposed to "root, root, root for." The sad thing is, it may be better than his mentally challenged girlfriend Jessica Simpson could have done.
WHO SAYS CHINESE HAS TO BE HARD? 2008-05-12 17:16:00 They say the the world is flat now, and that globalism is taking over everything. If China continues their pace, they will own the world in no time. That's why I decided that it's about time that I learn to speak the language. This helpful guide made it incredibly simple for me.
PORT-O-JOHN RACING 2008-05-12 17:05:00 The dicotomy of horse racing fans is really quite amazing. You see the Derby and Preakness on TV, and they constantly show all of the rich and famous celebrities that are there to watch. What they rarely show, however, is what the majority of the people at the event are there to do. The Preakness has it's own race for just these types of people. I give you, the Running of the Urinals!
WALK OF SHAME: THE MUSICAL 2008-05-12 16:56:00 We've all done it, though I have been known to refer to it as the Walk of Fame for myself. Occasionally you find yourself at someone else's place the morning after a night out. The trip home is always dreadful, but now the people at AMP have put a positive spin on it for everyone out there. If you've never taken the Walk of Shame....you should look into it, it usually means you had a good night
NO MORE KRONIC KANDY? BUT I LOVE POT SUCKERS! 2008-05-12 16:48:00 ATLANTA -- Georgia retailers soon will be banned from selling candy flavored to taste like marijuana to children.Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue signed a measure into law Wednesday that bans the sale of "marijuana flavored products" to minors -- anyone under 18 -- and calls for a fine of up to $500 for each offense. It targets businesses that sell the candies with drug-inspired names such as "Kroni
CHARLES BARKLEY PULLS A RON BURGANDY 2008-05-12 16:40:00 Who says TV is easy? Charles Barkley doesn't think so, because he calls himself a dumbass in a national TV spot. That's just turrable.
THE SKINNY SURVIVES VEGAS 2008-05-12 16:11:00 The completely abridged versions of funny occurrences from The Skinny's trip to Las Vegas:Stealing a bottle of room service champagne immediately after arrival; everyone making sure the bachelor knew that it was in no way in honor of his party.Spilling an entire $30 drink at a place called Carnival CourtRecognizing "Mystery" aka "The Pickup Artist" at Drais' at 5am and demanding a picture.Denny's(
OFFICE SPACE 2: REVENGE OF THE COPIER 2008-05-14 12:58:00 Why would it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? Thankfully, I don't work in an job that requires me to make copies. Ever. I do however know the frustration from years past, so I can sympathize with those of you who are stuff with the damn copy machine. Be forewarned though....those Asian countries are doing wonders in the world of robotics.
EASY HIGHRIDER 2008-05-14 08:30:00 Even on two wheels, Hightower always gets shotgun.
NINTENDO ZAPPERS ARE THE NEW LAVA LAMPS 2008-05-14 08:11:00 "Craftster member fluffypants from Ontario, Canada has put together this fun and cool looking lamp using a Nintendo zapper and a Duck Hunt cartridge."Lamp...kinda cool in a retro loser sort of way.The commentary on it though?? A few things stick out: craftster, fluffypants, Canada.

AS WITH ALL MEN, BEER COMES BEFORE KIDS 2008-05-14 07:17:00 A DRIVER who buckled up his slab of beer - but not the five-year-old boy sitting next to it - has shocked police who pulled him over near Alice Springs."I haven't ever seen something like this before," said Constable Wayne Burnett, according to Agence France-Presse. "There were four adults in the car, two in the front seat and two in the back seats and in between those two adults there was the car
NEW WAVE WEDNESDAY VOL. 10 2008-05-14 07:05:00 Once a smash hit, now the basis of a creepy old spice commercial, always a great song.
WALK ON THE LEFT, STAND ON THE RIGHT 2008-05-13 16:20:00 For some people, these very simple rules don't apply. Not because this woman is an inconsiderate whale, but rather because she obviously can not physically take up only a half the path. I can't think of anyone that should be using a moving sidewalk less than this woman. This is probably how we got to this point in the first place...a lack of walking.
UNIQLO IS UNIQUELY SLOW 2008-05-13 16:06:00 Those who don't know the man behind The Skinny, probably don't know that I an incredibly entertained by dancing. Retards, kids, break, hip hop, interpretive...pretty much anything that doesn't involve wearing tights. If you somehow did know this, I am frightened. If you aren't a fan of dancing...feel free to skip right over anything with that label, because I didn't want to share with you anywa

WOMAN GOES NUTS ON A TRAIN....I'M PRESIDENT CHARLIE! 2008-05-13 09:46:00 I have seen some interesting things on trains. From the standard 3-card monte and bums sleeping, to a man serenading a 75 year old woman while offering her a plant(no, I don't mean flower). This however take the cake for most frightening and funniest. Especially once the woman being "battled" finally turns her head and you realize its on old lady.Crazy Subway Girl (with subtitles) - Watch more
R. KELLY ALMOST PISSES ON THE SKINNY 2008-05-15 17:37:00 This week, The Skinny almost lost of of its leading contributers to 'the man.' While reporting live from the 'The World's Greatest' trial, Brendan nearly lost his credentials. And we all know...you have to have your credentials if you want to contribute to The Skinny. He did however manage some classic quotes...such as describing exactly which doughnuts were in his array of tasty treats.Doughnu
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS - LADIES OF THE WORLD 2008-05-15 16:03:00 It takes a lot more talent than you would expect to be able to name a lot of different types of women. Trust me, I just tried, and I have a map of the world as a shower curtain. Bret and Jemaine don't seem to have any trouble though. This maybe the first anti-war song where I think the option offered is reasonable.
