Richard Fleihr, 21, son of WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, was arrested Sunday when officers found heroin inside his car. Apparently Fleihr was setting up for his patented double-axe handled syringe-injector suplex, when a Charlotte police officer executed a dramatic wrist lock immobilizer.
Though this was Fleihr’s first recorded smack-related arrest, he had been booked on a DUI less than two months ago, and was driving without a valid license. When the arresting officer pointed this out, Fleihr raised his hands to an invisible crowd and shouted “Wooooo!”

The Meppers have discussed The Colbert Report on several occasions–but I was glad to see someone has finally decided to back us up on our shocking conclusion that, uh, he’s joking, even if some people don’t get it.
According to Kotaku, any visitor to ESPN’s main page can input the legendary Konami Code and turn the world’s premier sports website into a haven for frolicking unicorns.
Unfortunately, it seems that ESPN has caught on and disabled the code. I’m sure some Contra-nostalgic web designer is being shit-canned as we speak.
Serious Emu points go to the first person who can find another website that responds to the Konami Code.
Once again, Ron Paul, deity of reasonability, is putting the swine flu mania into perspective. Yes, he tries to sneak in some subtle shots against ‘socialized medicine,’ but at least he’s not using a manufactured media panic for political capital.
From 2008 to 2009, I worked as a segment producer for BoingBoingTV. Both an incredible learning experience and a non-stop sprint from week to week, I managed to try my hand at producing, music direction, animation creation, script writing, and a bit of improv. Though it ended, as many good things do, I look back on the time with great fondness and appreciation for what I was able to absorb.
During my time there, the small crew of three to five BBers created over 150 episodes. Over that time, BBtv was featured in CNN, the Guardian, Yahoo!, Digg, and won several Webby awards.
This music video, brought to you by Indonesian rock band, SIGIT (Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent) reminds me a bit of Nick Cage’s Lord of War.
I know many would say that voice recognition has come into its own. I know that use of a “speech-enabled system” saves companies money which OF COURSE means price cuts for us the consumers.
As you can tell by recent Mep postings, baseball season is just starting to really heat up. In honor of this weekend’s inaugural Yanks/Red Sox series, here’s a strange fan made video from the Star Wars Universe…
Somebody needs to tell the creator that Vader’s mask isn’t an articulated mouth. That effect creeps me out.
