Back when I did entertainment booking at a concert venue in Kalamazoo, we hosted Pauly Shore. He met a 20-ish year old girl at the hotel gym right before he headed over for the show, and brought her along.

Now THIS is good Kinja.

Eh, I think the OP’s comment was less about the subject of the post and more about the “oh, here’s something the internet likes, let’s take a hot wet dump all over it” attitude that became so familiar over on Gawker.

I’m pals with Marc, he’s so insanely talented. Are you both familiar with his new(er) band, Bars of Gold? P.S. BvS are starting to play Michigan shows again.

When you quote Gossip Extra dot com in your reporting, you learn all sorts of new and interesting information, like the Gators winning a championship in 2000.

The worst thing to happen to a Doug since Kinja.

1. The dictionary definition is “between two slices of bread OR a split roll.”

Seems like that’s a detail important enough to be in the body of the story, not buried in the comments, imo.

This was tremendous, Tom. Best baseball-related piece I’ve read in quite some time.

It’s an internet joke. A good one at that.
