A nice article in the NY Times on tipping
It's a good read, one we think will be right up the alley of the average Jersey City Desk reader. What are your thoughts on tipping? Do you often feel pressured to tip a certain amount?

You know we Americans are dominating the Olympics when we're winning gold medals in bobsledding. Bobsledding! Curtis Tomasevicz, Steve Mesler, Justin Olsen and driver Steven Holcomb won America's first gold since 1948. Long live Night Train!

Saturday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with INXS!
Well let's welcome YouTube back from the dead with a sultry and steamy video by INXS. A very underrated band of you ask Johnny. They had many many great songs aside from their hits. They had a very versatile style. They could do it all.
Here's INXS with 'Devil Inside'.

Saturday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TOMMY TUTONE!
Is there a more famous phone number in all of music history? There have been several of some note but seemingly not on this level. This phone number was out of commission in many paces for eons. A clever workaround by the person who ripped this clip for us all to enjoy. Just push play and feel free to sing along.

Saturday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BOOMTOWN RATS!
A great look at urban life for a young street tough named Billy. "It's a rat trap, and you been caught." This is the brilliance of Bob Geldof before he saved the world.

No tsunami warnings for the Hudson River on either side from Chile quake
Johnny noticed not a lot of news outlets were covering the danger to NY harbor and the Hudson River. Feel free to crawl over the snowbanks to get as close to the water as you want today.

We'll get to the music series tomorrow as YouTube is not performing up to snuff. It's terribly slow and not loading clips in some cases. No point in putting up hep tunes you can't see and or listen to.
And how about that USA men's hockey team? Johnny did some research and they were picked by precious few to medal and 90% of the pre-Olympic predictions had them finishing anywhere from 5th to 8th. Sunday they will play for gold north of the border against the Canadians. To beat them a second time and thus win the gold would be epic and push USA Hockey to new heights.

We have to go all Fast Times at Ridgemont High on a Queens man
Paul Franco is a no brain little prick.
Now, first of all we realize there could be more than one Paul Franco in Queens so let's be clear, THIS Paul Franco.
Paul hits women. What a class act. There is no lower life form than a guy who hits women. Not only does he hit women, he threatens to release sexy videos online of his ex-girlfriend if she doesn't give him money for his car. It gets worse. Paul also changed the password to his ex-girlfriend's Facebook page, changed her status to gay and started hitting on women online.
Paul seems to know a lot of how this online thing works so no doubt he will Google his own name and when he does he'll find this:
Paul Franco is a no brain little prick.
Back to the sledding hill.

Late night open thread
Blonde joke night:
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
