The combination of all the food I put into my body today probably wasn't what killed the dinosaurs, but it definitely could have.

Today on VSR – I’ve discovered a new movie coming out in November that has me more than just a little excited, We have a contribution from the Whale on today’s show, if not the Whale himself as we count down The Magnificent Seven Top 7 Cheesy songs that we secretly like for both myself and the Whale. Along with a ton of other stuff that I have planned that I have zero chance of getting to today. It’s yet another show over-programmed by me. So rather than promise you something and then let you down, let’s just see what we get to…

Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03) 

CENTRE HALL, Pa. – A couple of Pennsylvania newlyweds are behind bars after police say they were caught shoplifting food from a supermarket for their wedding reception.

32-year-old Arthur Phillips III and his bride, 22-year-old Brittany Lurch, were arrested Saturday after taking more than $1,000 in merchandise from a Wegmans supermarket in Centre Hall, PA. Police say the couple was captured on surveillance footage loading a shopping cart and leaving the store without paying.

The couple admitted taking the items when arrested. Police say the newlyweds told officers they'd been married a couple days earlier and took the food for their wedding reception that afternoon.

Greek Police Smash Violent Doughnut Ring
THESSALONIKI, Greece – It took an undercover operation, but Greek police have blown a hole in a ring of alleged crooks who had cornered the doughnut market in a beach resort.

It started with complaints that two Bulgarian men and a former Greek wrestling champion were using violence to choke off the trade by other doughnut vendors on Paliouri beach in the Halkidiki peninsula near Thessaloniki.

So an undercover officer posed as a doughnut seller, police said Tuesday, and he was attacked, leading to the arrest of the three aggressive doughnut sellers.

As a result, they have been charged with blackmail and fraud. They also were charged with food safety violations after police found they had stashed their product in an abandoned hotel that was open to the elements and used by bathers as a toilet.





SHELBYVILLE, Ky. -- A Kentucky man suing a doctor for amputating his penis testified Monday that he wanted to flee the hospital when he learned part of the organ had been removed.

Former truck driver Phillip Seaton testified during his civil trial against Dr. John Patterson that the doctor came into his room after the 2007 surgery that was supposed to have been a circumcision. Patterson's attorney said during opening arguments that he had no choice but to remove the tip of Seaton's penis because it was riddled with deadly penile cancer.

Seaton recalled Patterson telling him, "The bad news is you have cancer. The good news is I had to cut some of your penis off."

Seaton said he then went into the restroom.

"I pulled the dressing down, and I didn't see nothing," Seaton said under questioning by his attorney, Kevin George. "Then I came out of the restroom and I said, `I'm getting the hell out of this damn hospital.'"

Seaton, 64, and his wife, Deborah, are seeking unspecified damages for "loss of service, love and affection."

The Whale’s List:
1: Da Ya Think I'm Sexy - Rod Stewart
Great drumming performance.  As a child this song, along with "Tonight's The Night" by Rod Stewart and "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band, had a powerful influence on how I thought dating, and/or relations with women, was going to be like.

2: Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes
I have no explanation for why I like this.

3: Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) - Looking Glass
Lots of nautical themed songs in the 70's, this cheesy classic is my favorite.

4: Season In The Sun - Terry Jacks
I really liked this song when I heard it on the radio as a kid.  I had a flood of memories hearing it for the first time in 20 years and it freaked me out.

5: The Sign - Ace of Base
"I saw The Sign and it opened up my eyes"; great lyrics.

6: Get The Party Started - Pink
I loved this song the first time I heard it.

7: I'm a Believer - Smash Mouth
The only reason to sit through the end of Shrek.


Honorable mentions:

(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone - The Monkees
Mentioning this song here partially rectifies its exclusion from Cousin Brandon's and #19's lists of best Monkee's songs.

Funky Town - Lipps Inc.
Not a cheesy song in my opinion, but others may disagree. Made me fall in love with the Cm7

*Notes:  Irony and/or sarcasm was in no way part of this list's inspiration. Affirmative action was taken in an attempt to give each decade its due. Some of these songs show up as suggestions when searching YouTube for other songs in this list.

Something to think about:
1.    White is a weird favorite color
2.    Whispering is really annoying
3.    Your teeth are only supposed to touch when chewing
4.    No one wants to drink from a yellow tumbler.
5.    How awesome are Happy Meal Boxes?
6.    Kids growing up today will never know what a hidden track is.
7.    Porcupine Sex – The most careful thing in the world.
Violation of The Common Sense Naming Law - Josue
John Lajoie – Everyday Normal Guy (Clip 35)

New Candy Update:
Snickers Peanut Butter – Really good – Although they cheat by making it pieces
Pretzel M and M’s - Not Good


Anti-Commercial –

Biggest waste of time ever? Man named Jon counts to 100,000 on YouTube. It took him 78 hours. He missed 999,991. He also fired off 5 Confetti Poppers once he was done, then he turned off the camera. Why would someone do such a thing? (Not all in one take, it took 77 hours total, and he spread it out over 3 months.)

Ikea – Can someone explain the passion??
The Hunger Games: Good book series, especially the first book.

Shalom and Good Evening to you all!
