Canseco, Someone To Fight In A.C.

Former roidhead and baseball star Jose Canseco is looking for someone to box him in Atlantic City, Dan Gross reports. I believe this is all the sport of boxing really needs to get back in the public eye again!

Those wishing to fight Canseco — at the Atlantic City Surf’s park, no less — are encouraged to email fightcanseco@aol.com, where your message will be sent back in time to 1996 when (1) people used AOL and (2) a boxing match with Jose Canseco might seem interesting.

Whoever fights Canseco gets a cool five grand.

Alycia Lane More Popular Than Your Mom

I know that this Alycia Lane story has legs — specifically, the ones in the photos she sent to Rich Eisen — but never in a million years did I think it would make her, however briefly, more popular than the Almighty Firecrotch™. It’s going to take me a while to get my head around this.

And, yeah, she’s number two on AOL, right below Deal or No Deal and above cute photos of Coton de Tulear puppies.

AOL Time Warp Dance

In early January, labrador retriever and Inquirer scribe John Grogan took on the growing danger of too many AOL CDs in a column. Of course, “early danger” here means “1996-era story.”

And what was popular online around the same time bashing AOL CDs? That’s right, angry calls to AOL tech support. That means that television should be catching up to Grogan’s column right… about…. yes, there we go:

Now we just need somebody to do a story on how slow AOL is and how you don’t get enough hours per month.

Nice! A movie about his recent column bashing those danged AOL CDs can’t be far away. (But, really, how awesome is this? Congratulations!)
