Welcome to Smuggle Me

I found a really great tribute video of Benji Schwimmer. It’s amazing how people are still addicted to him. I have a feeling it might not end until the So You Think You Can Dance Tour ends. Even then, they’ll probably bring him back on next years show.

Enjoy!!

I couldn’t believe the headline when I read it. Dog the Bounty Hunter was arrested by a group of US Marshalls. Can you imagine going and picking him up from his house?

I should have known that something like this would happen. I always wondered whether a lot of the things he did on TV were legal. I guess in Mexico it might not be legal. In Hawaii they are probably just glad to get them off the street. Not to mention he’s probably related to half the island.

Here’s some interesting quotes about him getting arrested.

Beth Chapman, Dog’s Wife, said:

“I was getting the children ready for school and the U.S. marshals burst in our door and they just came right in and took him,” said Beth Chapman on MSNBC.

“He was in shock. He was, he was shocked. He was shocked and he was amazed that the marshal’s service that came to get him didn’t even treat him as kind as he treats his own prisoners.”

A representative from the Marshal’s office said:

“There were 7 deputy marshals who went to Chapman’s home,” said Jay Beber, from the U.S. marshal’s office in Hawaii.

“We knocked on the door to announce that we were U.S. marshals. … Mr. Chapman was compliant and very respectful.”

Should be interesting to see how this all turns out.

Steve Irwin, the TV presenter known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” has died after being stung by a stingray in a marine accident off Australia’s north coast.

Media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning.

Irwin, 44 was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at the time.

This was some really sad news that I came across last night before I went to bed. I loved watching the crocodile hunter. When I was in college and had cable there were 2 cable stations that I fell in love with. One was CMT and the other was Animal Planet. Faith Hill is the reason I loved CMT. Steve Irwin made me fall in love with Animal Planet.

He’ll be missed. It will be interesting to see what happens with his legacy. The animal world lost a friend with the death of Steve Irwin.

One thing I may never understand is why someone would go and pack themselves with tens of thousands of people out in the stands of a NASCAR event. Sure, that might have been fun before we had TV, but now nascar is so much better to watch from the comfort of home. The food is better, the temperature is cooler and the lazy boy is definitely softer. In fact, with what’s happening on TV these days you could watch every Nascar event there is.

A lot of professional sports have their very own network. For example, NFL network and NBA TV. Nascar will never have that problem. SPEED has already taken care of all of Nascar’s needs. The Nascar section of the SPEED website is even better with plenty of news commentary and video. Forget the track and sidle up to your computer and TV and get all the NASCAR you need. SPEED’s got are Nascar needs all taken care of.

I can’t wait to see the So You Think You Can Dance results show tonight on Fox. Here’s my prediction:
4. Travis
3. Heidi
2. Donyelle
1. Benji

If Travis wins it is rigged. If Heidi gets above third then I’ll be very surprised. Travis should be higher, but I’m biased.

Here’s a great set of quotes by Allison Holker and Travis Wall before So You Think You Can Dance.

Let the show begin!!
