Ocho Cinco

Football’s Chad Johnson, number one receiver for the Cincinatti Bengals, has reportedly changed his name to “Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco.”  For those who don’t follow number one receivers and their antics, two years ago Chad Johnson wore a sticker reading “Ocho Cinco,” the Spanish for Eight-Five, over the portion of his jersey where a player’s [...]

Sta Twehk Doesn’t Sucks!!

Rumors say, the new movie doesn’t suck!  I’m pretty excited about it.
Kevin Smith says:
The stars absolutely trek in this film. It is fantastic. Anybody who was worried doesn’t need to be worried–about this film I cannot talk about…It was in very capable hands. The director did a phenomenal job–the director and his crew. Top notch [...]
