Shit Pond

THIS IS THE SHIT POND ON KANDAHAR. JOE AND I TOOK A LITTLE STROLL ONE DAY JUST TO SEE WHAT ALL THE EXCITEMENT WAS ABOUT. SEE FOR YOURSELF, IT’S A HELL OF AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE WHAT WE FOUND AT THE SHIT POND ON KANDAHAR IN AUGUST OF 2003.

Artie told a story about the Burger King over in Kandahar that burned down. He said he was looking forward to it but the place burned down the week before. It was also near the camp that’s right near the shit pond. Artie said that there’s a Starbucks rip-off place over there too. He said that was called Three Bean. He said that the troops walk around with an M16 and a Caramel Macchiato.

Artie Lange In Afghanistan Pics

Artie Lange visiting the troops in Afghanistan

A solider’s first hand account of meeting Artie Lange and the gang:

Surely on their way home after an exhausting trip over here to Afghanistan, Artie, Gary, Jim Folerntine, Nick Depallo, and Dave Atell made a great impression here where I am stationed. After almost not making it due to a flight delay the boys came by at 1830hrs to have dinner and a meet and greet. They came rolling in SUV’s lead by an Up armored HUMMVW. They stepped out and looked around for direction to the next place. They were looking tired but determined as they introduced themselves to the boys and me who were standing outside anticipating their arrival. We motioned them into the chow tent for a dinner with the boys. They sat down and graciously shook hands and spoke to a few Soldiers as they tried to eat their meals. They never came off as bothering them during dinner and Artie repeatedly returned apologies of bothering him by saying “you guys are why we are here, no problem”. Gary sat and motioned my 1SG over when I pointed out “BaBa Booey“, Gary ery happily introduced himself and said hi. I sat with Dave Atell at first trying not to feel rude while the guys were eating. I do not like coming off as a dazed and confused, star struck fan. He was very accomadating as we spoke some politics and Afghan culture while he ate. I then turned around and sat next to Jim on my right and Artie on my left. Nick and Gary were seated at the inside of the table respectively. I do not follow anybody with crazy enthusiasm. I own a Sirius and I am familiar with Artie’s story and I have heard the names of all the comedians but I do not claim to be their biggest fan and I certainly do not own all their collections. I have five kids and although i think these guys are great, i am not a collector of their products. Embarrassingly, I introduced most of the table by memory and had to read Jim’s name tag to remember his name. It was a tad bit uncomfortable but Jim was a gracious guest and brushed it off. I sat and spoke with Artie and Jim for about 15-20 minutes and it was great. We talked about Artie’s new book, Entourage, and a few details about Jim Norton that I will not reveal. (I just happened to get his book by mail that day). I learned to really enjoy Jim’s company, he is a down to earth, no bullshit guy who was easy to talk too. Artie, of course was the same. Honestly, there was no uncomfortable silences between the three of us and I was very happy about that…

Robin Quivers’ 40×74 Jersey Shore Magazine Feature

I’m Rich Bitch!

Robin Quivers who is the epitome these days of towing the line of shark jumping, almost catches JAWS-AIR with this latest magazine feature for 40º74º Magazine, which are the GPS coordinates apparently for being stuck-up. Or actually, “The GPS Coordnates of Gracious Living.” How cheesy. Anyways, they got a hold of Robin, and took a bunch of pics of her new Jersey Shore home, had her talk about her new diet, and new bowl of dick she’s been chewing on lately…bah:

Quivers, 55, is also flourishing on the personal side. Adopting a strict vegan diet, the golden-throated broadcaster has dropped nearly 70 pounds in the past year – and rarely goes an hour without getting a compliment for it.

She has lent her celebrity and time to raise money for Healing Bridges, an organization that provides for struggling nations in Africa. And she has a new steady – and younger – boyfriend in New Jersey comedian Jim Florentine.

Bah anyways, as cuntified as this all sounds, this is our “Sweet Robin” whose “Buttcheeks Is Warm,” so at the end of the day, I got nothing but love. I never knew my heart had a soft spot for cackling baboon-bitches (I am not sure if that was an inside reference/quote to Crazy Alice or Hate-man). Read the full feature here. Just make sure you’re reading it on a Panasonic Toughbook, so you can punch your screen and get away with it.

Artie In Afghanistan, Military Base Bombed.

Howard Stern nearly lost his closest cohorts in Afghanistan this week.

Stern’s Sirius radio show producer Gary Dell’Abate, show regular Artie Lange and comedians Nick DiPaolo, Jim Florentine and Dave Attell had just finished a comedy show for troops in Kandahar when the base came under attack.

“Everything was going fine until the end,” a friend of the comics, who heard from them by cell phone, tells us. “They were all done with their sets, and they were headed in a car convoy to a meet-and-greet elsewhere, but they only made it about 20 yards.

“The military base they were on came under mortar fire, and the convoy was turned around.”…

My Mind Is On Carmen Sandiego’s G550 Jet. I’ve Lost It, And Waldo Is Being A Douche On His Two-Way Pager.

Carmen Sandiego - I’m all over the place.

Just some random thoughts going on… I missed the Tila 2 finale last night? Did I? Well, I am sure it was lame. I know way hotter Vietnamese chicks in Texas than her. She’s a fidget anyway.

So, did you hear about the new iPhone coming out on July 11th? Really cheap: $199 and $299 respectively… If you look under the hood though and by hood I mean AT&T’s pricing plan on the service side, that same unlimited data goes from 20$ to 30$ a month and those free 200 txt messages, that’s now five dollars. Want the 1500 txt message package? That goes from 10$ to 15$ a month. So for me, that would total an additional 15$ a month or… quick math $145. er, fuck I can’t add: 180. Either way that blows, $igh.

What’s up with milfs these days, esp the “newly” divorced ones. Not only will they ask you what knd of car you drive, but’ll if you happen to be in your friends car, they’ll ask what car your friend’s driving too…wtf.
Way to take the LF out of milf, okay nm, that’s still in effect despite the golddiggery.
Be a mother, get rid of the damn eyebrow-piercing-ring. Why attract attention to your eyes, where crows feet lay, right? You’re not 18 anymore. And you’re 30 going on 40.

I hope Artie Lange is okay in Iraq, where he is performing this week on the USO Show tour.

Amy Whinehouse called Kanye West a cunt. How great is that?

Did you know the next Survivor is being filmed right now in Africa?

Fu*k I hate spam like this, New message: “why is your myspace photo here on this site.. laquinka . com
”
I dunno, let me rush on over to la-quin-ka.com real quick and see.

There has been much squabble over “shitty parts of NYC to hang out”. By squabble I just mean different sources of opinion saying similar things. And from respectable sources. Apparently El-P & Alaska of Hangar18 both hate Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. I thought that was the hip-artsy-fartsy cool part of town. Shows you how much I know. But I still rep BKNY. Cue…

El-P:

editor’s note: Williamsburg - im not talking about williamsburg. williamsburg is the only place in brooklyn that sucks harder than manhattan as a rule no matter what the circumstance.

Alaska:

Williamsburg – I don’t know a single person that likes that pisshole yet people are always going there, hey someone is spinning some shitty MIA at a loft party, or let’s go to this shitty as boutique my friends dad bought, they have like one sneaker, four pairs of jeans and a coffee table book. People dress like the tourists in Times Square and have shitty mustaches it might as well be Milwaukee, sorry Milwaukeeans I didn’t mean to insult you because although you guys dress like that you do shower and aren’t a bunch of pretentious pricks who base their whole personality off what pitchfork.com thinks and whichever t-shirt is recommended in the latest issue of Vice.

Pwned!

Word on the street is to find Waldo El-P Sandiego, ya just gotta go to the lower east side of Manhatty, or just let him tell you where he hangs out.

Shabooty Interview Series: Henry Hill

Henry Hill … where does one start in describing Henry Hill’s storied life, a life that has inspired everything from books, movies and restaurants. Henry is the main character (played by Ray Liotta) in the true-life story, and Marty Scorsese classic: GoodFellas. Henry is a former mobster, who was in the witness protection program, but has since reemerged, turning his celebrity into a showbiz career. If you ask me, he has also provided some of the most memorable and entertaining appearances by any guest ever on “The Howard Stern Show“. Caramel macchiato, anyone?

—

Shabooty: Hey Hendry! So, are you buddies with Ray Liota?
Henry Hill: Not buddies, but I do see him occasionally. I ran into him a couple months ago in Venice around Christmas time — Cool dude.

Stern fans want to know, what’s your opinion on Lisa G [Howard100 News reporter]?
Don’t remember her…

Is your favorite coffee drink a caramel macchiato?
Love those things, but too fattening.

Have you ever played GTA(GrandTheftAuto), the video game? (main character voiceover done by Ray Liotta).
Sure yeah, I’ve played before. (But I don’t own it).

You’re now doing your “mob-art”. Who/what are your inspirations in art?
I love art, been to art museums, enjoy it, looking at it, long as it’s decent, but it’s all decent.

How is the art selling?
It’s doing well. Keeps me out of trouble, roof over head, I enjoy doing it, [it is] therapy for me.

Are most of the paintings mob related?
Some of them are, some aren’t. Whatever I’m in the mood to do… I love to do skylines of New York, all kinds of weird shit.

You have a spaghetti sauce?
Yeah, Henry Hill’s WiseGuys Sunday Gravy –it will be in grocery stores this year.

What new Hollywood endeavors are you working on?
I finished the script, “Final Four” –about the Boston College scandal. I’m working on a TV thing with a couple cool dudes. Part reality [show]… spent months filming already [to prepare a pilot/teaser to shop around to the networks] –maybe A&E.

Drinking these days?
I sneak one a week… once in a couple weeks [I might have a] couple beers.

How’s the health?
I have an operation upcoming.  Wednesday I have a pre-operation cat scan for my double hernia.

Who’s your favorite actor?
[Robert] Dinero’s one of the best, love everything he’s in.

What’s the better mob movie - The Godfather or GoodFellas?
What you think I’m gonna say? Godfather was real hollywood-ish, it wasn’t a true story ya know, but a great movie. Don’t get me wrong on the Godfathers –just GoodFellas is a different kind of movie, Scorsese’s movie, ya know… true story.

When was your first appearance on Howard Stern?
12 years ago.

Transformers 2 Update: (first hand account) from University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) regarding last weeks’ Transformers 2 filming:
Yes–they were all over the main campus about a week or so ago. Made getting around a bit tough as they don’t like us walking onto the set and unfortunately our offices are right in the middle of the main campus. I wasn’t successful in getting a cameo appearance or glimpse of anyone famous…
