Bottle Rocket

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly,
They go to a lake of fire and they fry.
See 'em again on the 4th of July...

2008 in 2008:

0-16

The 2008 NFL season does not look good for the Cincinnati Bengalberries. But, let's face it, no upcoming season ever looks good for these morons.

Here's hoping the Bengalberries can achieve a milestone never before realized in the NFL- 0 Wins and 16 Losses. The most pristine goose egg sport will have ever seen.

GO FOR IT!

Eeek!

An electrical storm over the cliff:

Roadtrips

Rating an area can be difficult. Sometimes a fantastic area is ruined by bad luck/bad roadtrip. This map attempts to take that into account, and provides ratings based on the overall quality. "Overall quality" is vague, but can include: amount of fun, food, sports teams, food, transit options, food, architecture, and "vibe".



A+ to Chicago, Las Vegas, NYC

F to Raleigh/Durham, Orlando, St. Louis

On Joe Nuxhall night, with Pete Rose in the house, the Reds put up another 'L'.

Weezer Brings Back the Music Video

UPDATE: no embed allowed for this video anymore- but the lyrics of the tune profess to be "fine and dandy with the inside"...whatever...

Ohio's Scarlet Letter and Bengalberries

Ohio DUI tags with a Bengalberry cover:



Coincidence? No: Cause & Effect.

Generica the Hideous

O hideous flourescent signs,
For "add another lane",
For architectural tragedies
Across the strip mall plain!

Generica! Generica!
God turns His face from thee,
And crowns thy bad with waste, called gas
From cheese to Mickey D's!

Shame of the Nation

Time for a list-

"Largest Per Capita Carbon Footprint" according to a study by the Brookings Institute:

1. Lexington-Fayette County.
2. Indianapolis.
3. Cincinnati-Middletown (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana).
4. Toledo.
5. Louisville (Kentucky-Indiana).
6. Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, Tenn.
7. St. Louis.
8. Oklahoma City.
9. Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pa.
10. Knoxville, Tenn.

Many of the variables leading to any given area's ranking are beyond it's control. However, other variables are clearly under the area's control- primarily, automobile emissions.

4 of the top 5 areas are within a 100mi radius, centered on Cincinnati.

This is appalling and shameful. Us MORONS must be the laughing stock of the country today...and Al Qaeda has probably put us on their MVP list. I can hear UBL now, "Burn that petro, Ohio Valley! Hang yourself in that heavy metal stew!"

The Cliff Blog sincerely apologizes to the rest of the United States for our screwed up way of life here. We are truly pathetic.
