Governor Patterson on SNL

Mean or Funny??

The nation is aghast. The National Federation For The Blind is outraged of course. Governor Patterson is legally blind and that's why this particular subject matter.

The Show's Opinion:

Foster: "Both"

Blade: "Funny. The guy just looks funny."

here is the Governors response to the skit

We don't know what that means, but that is what he said.

Helping Jay Leno

There is a nationwide search for a name for Jay Leno's new/old show that will be moved to 10pm eventually on NBC. F&B is on his mailing list so we sent in our suggestions.

"The Antique Joke Show"

"Hack Comedians Say The Darndest Things"

"2 1/2 Chins"


"The Biggest Loser: Late Night Show Edition"

We've sent our suggestions on via email, let's see which one they choose.

IOC (Inappropriate Office Crush)

The Fact of the Day

(supplied by the F&B Internet Scouring Team)

51% of all workers have done the dirty deed with a co-worker at one time or another.

That means that the other 49% have had IOC's that they haven't acted on. IOC meaning:

The Foster & The Blade Wasted Chick Of The Day

Update: The Butch Davis Vaseline Situation

Update: By close of business Friday December 5th, no known audio of UNC football coach Butch Davis with his by now infamous quote,

"there will be no more Vaseline in the UNC locker room."

has been uncovered. This is not to say the phrase has not been uttered...but merely to say there is no known audio of the phrase at this time.** It may very well have been uttered, and it may very well have not been uttered, we just don't know.

SOME people are having a good time at Coach Davis' expense

We here at Foster & The Blade would like to acknowledge the F&B Interweb Scouring Team (IST) for their tireless and around-the-clock efforts to uncover this audio.

Vaseline In The Locker Room

Here is the quote from UNC coach Butch Davis in the post game interview after the loss to NC State two weekends ago where Shaun Drouhgn fumbled twice in the first period. NC State won that game 41-10.

"This is by no means an excuse for the game. But Shaun shared something
with me after the game that I think our fans need to know. Now, again this
is by no means an excuse. Shaun was worried about the cold wind on
Saturday. He told me he put vaseline on his face and arms prior to the
game. Evidently after rubbing his face and such he got the vaseline on his
hands.We have a new rule in the UNC locker room. NO MORE
VASELINE."

(The crowd laughed completely unaware of how this is wrong on many levels, actually, just one level in particlular.)

DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN???

We scoured and scoured, we cannot find this audio anywhere. If he actually said this, the audio should be available in this media-available-incriminating-evidence world.

A message to the friends of the show: Find the audio of this potentially historical quote and

F&B 2008 General Turkey Of The Year

Foster & The Blade 2008 General Turkey Of The Year

North Carolina's own John Edwards and...

Rielle Hunter!!

Congratulations you two! You deserved it!!

It was a close vote between:

John Edwards

• Elliot Spitzer, who had to resign his Mayoral post because of a hooker
  

• Geraldo Rivera for getting pummeled by waves during Hurricane Gustav during a live TV report
  

• TV weatherman Bob Stokes for asking Tracy Andrews to "lick his swizzle stick" in the hallways of The Weather Channel

but what sent the John Edwards vote over the top was when we went back and listened to his guilty admission speech.

Well that did it.

We are so saddened!!

Interviews Gone Terribly Wrong

When things like this happen on the air live, and you're in front of your TV watching, it's not too fun, in fact...it's pretty uncomfortable. But it's always a gas after time has passed.

The Andrew Dice Clay CNN Interview. Wow.


Our 2nd Interview Gone Terribly Wrong:

These Australian TV fools had no idea what was in store for them. It was the morning "Sunrise" show.

This Australian guy has the TV hosts all set up to ask his girlfriend to marry him on live TV.

(We'd post the youtube videos here but we just shouldn't. You just picture Mr. Curtis, our founder, and you go...."naaaaaaah".)

Uncomfortable Moment of The day

This is Darius Rucker of Hootie & The Blowfish except it's now just Darius and he's a country singer. He did a very nice set at the hospital around 6:30 and we avoided him a little because we had just chosen "Hootie & The Blowfish" as our Bad Band Name of the Day a little earlier. We didn't know Hootie would show up and not that he heard it on the air but still...he walked right by us and we kind of just....avoided him. Salt & D had him on the air though. 2-1 they told him.

Anus

Another reminder.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LOOK UP "ANUS" UNDER WIKIPEDIA!

There are things you won't want to see.

(but here is a link just in case)

In other events for the F&B Show for Friday...we talked with Slash of Velvet Revolver and Guns N Roses and he now requests what we ask and don't ask in interviews.

show audio: donna from mtv says slash is on the line

Who remembers this killer tv ad with Slash from last year. It was for First Act guitars. Awesome stuff.

Mitch Mitchell

Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience died in Portland, Oregon last night. You talk about one of the best rock drummers ever.

We played "Fire" and "Manic Depression" and segued them together...no station identifiers or talking in between...those two songs did a REAL good job of showcasing what this cat could do.

This guy is a good reason why rock is king.

RIP 1947-2008

Arse

It ended up being an informative discussion about other words you could use on the air instead of "ass" because that word could offend.

Disqualified submissions from the get-go from friends of the show:

• rectum
• sphincter
• bunghole

(these words describe the hole, not the butt)

We like these:

• can
• bum bottoms (Spinal Tap)
• but the best word of all is surely "ass"

And finally the poor misguided boy that was told a butt was called this by his grandmother:

show audio chime in: that's what my granny called it!

DO NOT LOOK UP "ANUS" IN WIKI-PEDIA!!! YOU'LL SEE THINGS THAT MIGHT RUIN YOUR DAY!!

7 Ridiculous Ways To Die On A Golf Course: Pt2

A French golfer was so hacked off at missing three straight putts, he threw his entire bag into the lake and then he realized his keys were in the bag...so he jumped into the lake to get his bag and drowned. Supposedly he said "I'm going down for the keys but I'm leaving my clubs down there."

Maybe he didn't say that...but it makes a better story. Haha.
