A man named Jack Ass is suing Viacom over the Jackass show for defamation of character. I think he defamed his character when he changed his name to Jack Ass. His original name was Bob Craft and he changed it in 97 as a personal crusade against drunk driving. Wouldn\’t it be more effective if he changed his name to \”Dont Drink and Drive\” or something?

Here\’s a cute little iPod handbag/boombox. Leave it to the Japanese to come up with the coolest accessories.

So, I\’m back in town. Well, I\’ve actually been back 3 days now but I didn\’t have anything to post. Las Vegas was fun but all my clothes smell like smoke now. We went to the Grand Canyon too but it was snowing so we couldn\’t see anything. I would\’ve been really pissed if I hadn\’t already visited once before.

Sadly we left before New Year\’s Eve, so I missed out on all the debauchery and drunkenness. Well, actually, no I didn\’t. It\’s Vegas afterall.
