Offbeat: Alternate plot line to “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” involves puppy

  • Remember this scene right here? It’s a pretty awesome scene from one of our favorite movies. Now, imagine that Mr. Herman was a German college student. And that, instead of (immediately after this scene) dancing on a bar stool to “Tequila,” he threw a puppy at them. Then he got away on a bulldozer. And then caused a huge traffic jam. Well, stop imagining, because it actually happened. Minus Pee-Wee. source

Offbeat: Puerto Rican shooting victim’s funeral ditches the boring coffin

  • This isn’t a Madame Tussauds wax figure. No, this guy is actually dead, he’s been embalmed, and he’s sitting on a motorcycle (which he was given by his uncle) at his wake. The deceased, David Morales Colón, was recently killed in a shooting at the far-too-sad age of 22. It’s the way he probably wants to be remembered. When we die, we want to be embalmed sitting at a coffee shop, typing on a MacBook. Less fun, but more accurate. (Thanks @putneydm) source

Culture: Scorned woman or not, Jesse James has one rich guy in his corner

  • In terms of television, it probably helps him. … Whether you like Jesse or not, he’s now a much hotter commodity than before this happened. And his audience — they love him.
  • Donald Trump • Regarding the crazy marital situation between Jesse James and Sandra Bullock, one that fell apart due to James’ Tiger Woods-like infidelity. While he notes the West Coast Choppers mogul probably won’t be getting any endorsements any time soon, he seems fairly confident that his former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant (who finished third on the show) will bounce back. source

World: It hasn’t been a very good week for the Tour de France, that’s for sure

  • There’s many close calls between riders and spectators … Sad news. May she RIP.
  • Lance Armstrong on his Twitter feed • Regarding the death of a 61-year-old spectator during the 14th stage of the tour between Colmar and Besancon.
