Wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano passed away today at the age of 76. (Non-Wrestlemaniacs might remember him as Cyndi Lauper's dad in her video for "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" -- she also wrote the foreword to his autobiography, released last year.)

I might just have to stick a mournful rubber band or two on my face for the rest of the day...

UPDATE: Since the original video of NRBQ rocking out with their former manager Capt. Lou was taken off YouTube, here's another good sampler: an interview with Greg "The Hammer" Valentine by Mean Gene Okerlund. Nobody could rock a beer gut quite like Captain Lou.

Laura MacNeil, from Budget Travel on CNN, posted this story yesterday regarding on 8 places every American should visit.

Now the 8 places on the list are debatable, for sure. There are some glaring omissions which the author readily admits. (No Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Golden Gate Bridge, or Naigra Falls.)

But I thought it might make an interesting survey to see how many of these 8 places our readers have visited. So here are the 8:

1. Sears Tower (Willis Tower)


2. Graceland


3. Yellowstone National Park


4. Gettysburg


5. NY Harbor


6. Ebenezer Baptist Church


7. Monticello (home of Thomas Jefferson)


8. Pearl Harbor

One Loyal 77 member told me he's 0 - 8. I'm 3 - 8 (Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor and NY Harbor.) How about you?

If you can only do one thing to waste time today, then watch Get On My Horse.

Oh, and close your office door cause this is weird, funny and semi NSFW.
