How Tarzan Got His Yell

By MoonDog | December 5, 2008

Not many people realize Johnny Weismuller, the actor who portrayed Tarzan, acquired his famous yell from rather unusual circumstances.

While filming Tarzan the Ape Man in 1934 on location in the Florida everglades, Weismuller was walking through the jungle one day and heard a ruckus.

As he inched his way through the thick brush towards the noise, he finally came upon the source. Staring in disbelief, Weismuller saw what was causing all the commotion.

Me Tarzan, You Jane and...CHEETAH??!!

Now you know how Tarzan really came up with that yell.

Kiffin’s Detractors Pointing To His Age

By MoonDog | December 4, 2008

To all of the so-called football geniuses among us who’ve blathered on recently about the University of Tennessee’s decision to hire 33-year old Lane Kiffin as its next football coach, pay attention if your fragile minds will allow you to do so.

Tennessee Vols Head Coach Lane Kiffin

The arguments I’m hearing from the likes of Mark May and Ivan Maisel of ESPN and Ron Higgins of The Commercial Appeal are focusing on Kiffin’s lack of college head coaching experience and his age.

If memory serves me correctly, the Oakland Raiders are a franchise in the National Football League.

Didn’t Kiffin coach the Raiders into this season before being fired by Al Davis under questionable circumstances?

Unless I’m misconstruing something here, the NFL is a tad better than the SEC.

Kiffin got the job in Oakland based on his performance at Southern California, not because of his age or previous head coaching experience.

If you really want to look at Kiffin’s situation realistically, his new position is a step down from his previous job.

Granted, the Raiders are a mess, but they’ve been a mess since Jon Gruden left to take over in Tampa Bay.

Most of the problems created in Oakland were the result of a bumbling front office led by Davis. Any head coaching experience in the NFL is far superior to some of the coaches May and Maisel have pointed out as apparently being “proven” or more qualified than Kiffin.

While Florida head coach Urban Meyer has become a proven commodity, some tend to forget the only head coaching experience of any significance he had prior to taking the Gators’ job was at Utah.

No offense to the Utes, but the Mountain West isn’t the SEC. It’s certainly not the NFL either. I can’t help but believe Meyer would have learned more about coaching in the NFL than he ever could while coaching at Utah or Florida.

When Mark Richt took over at Georgia, he didn’t have any head coaching experience. Since he’s been at the helm in Athens, the Bulldogs have enjoyed their most success since the days of Vince Dooley.

All of this emphasis placed on college coaching experience as a prerequisite for overseeing a major NCAA football program is absurd. Even more absurd is the focus on Kiffin’s youth as being a perceived lack of ability.

What the detractors arguments amount to is nothing less than veiled discrimination against Kiffin because of his age. If Kiffin were 43 years old and had two years of coaching experience in the NFL, we wouldn’t have heard a word from anyone.

When the Boston Red Sox hired Theo Epstein as their General Manager, he was 28 years old. All he’s done as the Red Sox GM is win two World Series titles.

Age is irrelevant, especially at the college level. College coaching is primarily about the ability to recruit talented prep prospects and to surround yourself with a competent staff.

Kiffin proved his recruiting ability while serving on Pete Carroll’s staff at USC and he’s already made several significant hires to work on his staff next season.

In the end, Kiffin’s performance will be based upon his ability to recruit talented players, getting the most out of them and winning championships. That’s what every college coach is graded on and it doesn’t have anything to do with age.

But if Kiffin fails to turn the Vols around, you can rest assured everyone claiming this was a bad hire will point to his youth and his lack of college head coaching experience, just so they can say, “I told you so.”

Jennifer Ellison Is Naturally Buoyant

By MoonDog | December 4, 2008

When I was in the U.S. Navy I sure wish I had Jennifer Ellison along for those long journeys across the oceans and seas of planet earth. Not for the reasons you might imagine, but for safety issues that arise aboard ship.

The greatest fear of any sailor is being swept over the side in high seas, especially at night. When you hit that water, it’s cold and deep. The only way you’re going to survive is if the fantail watch sees you in the water and tosses you a ring.

But if you had Jennifer along, all anyone would have to do is toss her in the water. Because of her large voluptuous breasts, she could serve the dual roles of navigational buoy and life preserver.

If you’re in the water and having trouble staying afloat, you could swim over to Jennifer and hang on because there’s no way she’s going to sink.

So if you’re planning a cruise I suggest you take Jennifer along with you. The “girls” could prove to be a lot more than just something to be amazed with, they could actually save your life.

Kardashian To Pose In Playboy Again?

By MoonDog | December 4, 2008

Kim Kardashian wants Playboy boss Hugh Hefner to ignore reports she’ll never pose nude in his magazine again - because she’d love to strip for him again someday.

Kim Kardashian to Appear in Playboy Again?

The party girl-turned-reality TV star was in a special 12-page pictorial in December 2007, but has since been quoted stating the photoshoot was a one time deal.

However, the 28-year-old is desperate not to burn bridges between herself and Hefner - and wants him to keep her phone number on speed-dial for another possible spread in the future.

In a message on her website, Kardashian writes, “There are a bunch of reports about me on the web claiming that I said I would never do Playboy again. They’re quoting me as saying, ‘It was a one-off. I don’t think I’ll do Playboy or anything like that again.’

“This is totally false. While I’m not planning to pose for the men’s magazine in the immediate future, I definitely don’t want to close the door to the opportunity. Never say never.”

Best Booty Ever?

By MoonDog | December 3, 2008

I’m throwing down the gauntlet and issuing a challenge to every blogger on the planet. I’m thinking I’ve found the chick with the nicest booty EVER. I’m talking the creme-de-la-creme of cheeks.

This is Mandy and as you can see, she makes wearing a thong mandatory. Hiding the natural goodness of her booty with clothing should be declared a violation against mankind or something like that.

For jugheads like me who are on a constant quest to find the perfect booty, I challenge anyone out there in the blogosphere to find a better booty than Mandy’s.

Post an image of what you believe is the best booty ever and I’ll link to it, allowing the readers to decide if in fact the booty you’ve chosen is better than Mandy’s.

Perhaps we can make this a blogosphere-wide contest, with hundreds of sites attempting to locate the planet’s best booty. That would be cool, don’t you think?

Meanwhile, here’s a nice gallery of Mandy and her perfect booty. Don’t do anything weird while you’re looking at the images.
