David Blaine is at it again. The “Magician” just broke the Guinness World Record for holding one’s breath. The previous record of 16 minutes 32 seconds was set back in February. Blaine used the “Oprah” show as his stage for the record-setting feat, holding his breath in a water-sphere for 17 minutes 4 seconds and forcing the studio-audience to sit through this boring event.

Blaine is the biggest joke. At first he was kind of a cool magician, now he just specializes in endurance stunts - floating in water, laying in a frozen box of ice or living in a box. What’s next? Is he going to force himself to watch a marathon of Hallmark movies on the Lifetime Channel? Blaine even said that breaking the breath-holding record was “a lifelong dream.”

Well, Blaine has inspired my lifelong dream, it involves Blaine holding his breath forever! I will say that the best thing that ever came as a result of Blaine, was this hilarious video of his Street Magic on YouTube.

“I just got out of jail. I’m trying to have fun and whoop some ass.”

Fuck yeah! Why not celebrate your recent release from jail by whacking a bicyclist in the back of the head with a 32″ ice scraper? Kevin Diaz, 19, and his buddies were cruising the mean streets of Madison, WI in an SUV when they decided to start heckling a random bicyclist on the side of the road. Kevin hopped out of the SUV and whacked the guy in the back of the head with an ice scraper. When the bicyclist asked Kevin why he had hit him Kevin dropped the above gem. The three friends tried to chase the bicyclist on foot as he rode away (because chasing a bicyclist in a car is a ridiculous idea) but gave up after they found out a bicyclist travels faster then they can run.

The bicyclist was able to give the cops a good description of the SUV and all three dipshits were arrested a short time later.

If you ever used to watch the People’s Court, you know that some of the best shit went down at the very end. Well, this is one of the best…

I am down two to Diggles and basically backed into a corner so I had to turn to a professional for help. On the left we have Brandy Lynn a 24 year old from Sacramento. I don’t know much else about her but she looks like she is trying to get into the modeling game. On the right we have Marisa Miller. You might have seen her on the cover of a little thing called the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

I don’t know what ever happened to the mullet, but I am sure glad it left us for Canadian soil in the 90’s and has yet to make a comeback.   Check out the top 15 celebrity mullets,  info on LC’s potential sex tape, and free Viagra in today’s manly links.

Last spring I posted about how I kept a notebook of children's activities for my kids to do during the summer then each Wednesday I wrote about one of the activities. Based on the popularity of the posts I must not be the only mom out there who panics when she finds herself staring summer right in the eyes so I'm doing it again this year.

The first activity? Growing crystals. Now this isn't rocket science--I'd guess you'd call it rock science--and it's easy and safe for children with minimum supervision.

You'll need:

Two glass jars
A pencil
Nylon thread
Water
Alum*

* Now alum sounds odd but it's actually a chemical used in pickling and can be found in most grocery stores in the spice section. Schilling carries little jars of it for a couple dollars. It's completely safe (though I wouldn't recommend eating it--you'll get a super pucker for sure).

1. Boil about a cup of water then stir in as much of the alum as you can get the water to hold. The water will be cloudy and the extra alum that can't dissolve will settle to the bottom.

2. Allow it to cool down for a day or so. As it cools overnight crystals will begin to form in the bottom. These are the seed crystals.

3. Pour off the solution (not the crystals and dust in the bottom) into a clean glass jar then pick out a couple of the biggest seed crystals to sit in the bottom of the new jar.

4. Wait. And wait. As the solution evaporates it will clear and the seed crystals will grow. Alum tends to form single crystals rather than clusters but if new little crystals begin to form on the bigger seed crystals then gently pick the tiny ones off.

5. Every day the seed crystals will grow. When they're big enough to tie a nylon thread around you should suspend them from a pencil placed across the mouth of the jar so that the crystals aren't touching any of the glass sides. They will grow fatter this way though not necessarily bigger. I noticed that the crystal lying on the bottom of the jar was about the same size as the one suspended but it wasn't as sharp and pretty and it was much flatter.

6. Continue to wait and watch, the crystal you see in the top picture had been growing about a week. The evaporation process is slow but it's not hard. I've wondered how big I can get our little crystal to grow . . .

The first round of The Bigger Dance is complete and it has been heated. In the Tastybooze pool, Ol’ Dirty is tied for first place with Mike Honcho at 31 out of a possible 39 points. Baba Ganoush is close behind at 29 while Mitch Martin (28), Frank The Tank (27), and J Diggles (27) are right in it too.

After today, however, I will quickly plummet to the bottom of the standings. This morning was the start of round two and 1-seeded Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up) was eliminated by old-and-tired Molly Sims! I had Heigl losing in FINALS to Jessica Biel so I am guaranteed 3 more losses and I am completely fucked. Does anyone still think Molly Sims is hot. Isn’t she like 50?

I am also a moron and picked Lauren Conrad (The Hills) over Megan Fox (Transformers). Fox won 52-19 and is possible the hottest tattooed female ever (besides Mr. Wonka). There weren’t a ton of upsets in the first round. Generally the higher seed won the match-up.

With Heigl out I honestly don’t know what to think anymore.

My Final Four prediction is now:

Jessica Alba vs Jessica Biel
and
Marisa Miller vs Eva Longoria (This pains me)

Biel will play Miller in the Finals and potentially lose. Did you see the cover of this years SI Swimsuit Issue? Now get some tissue.

Stay tuned for more updates from the hard wood as I fall from the top spot.

Recently we posted a tattoo that was dubbed the Ultimate Chick Repeller. Well, as the most tattooed TastyBoozer, I felt compelled to bring you yet another example of a tattoo that, while not as bad as the first, is simply not going to help with the ladies.

I guess the reasoning here is that this tat would make the ladies go, “Boy, I really want this guy to go for me, I better work hard not to be a bitch so he’ll trust me!” Well played, jackass.

Here's a tiny P.S. for today . . . Thanks so much to Darrren Rowse at Problogger for publishing my post "Five Reasons Why Mom Blogs Are the Blogs to Watch" and if you read it and like it then maybe you'd give it a little Digg--or two. I've never been Dug before. Or Digged. I wonder what it feels like?
