“ECLIPSE” TRAILER
Here it is by special request…the trailer for the new Twilight movie “Eclipse” which hits theatres June 30th.
Watch it, and then answer this question: Why is everyone whispering???
7 YR OLD CALLS 9-1-1
Here’s the 911 call we were talking about this morning. What a cute little, cool-headed kid!
KRYSTEN RITTER
She grew up on a cow farm in Shickshinny, was discovered @ the Wyoming Valley Mall, and stars in the new movie “She’s Out of Your League”, which opens this weekend. Actress Krysten Ritter called the show to talk about the flick, her busy career and how she was named an honorary Hooters girl!

KIMBERLY CALDWELL ROCKS THE ELLEN SHOW
Here’s our “friend” Kimberly Caldwell from Season 2 of American Idol singing her new single “Mess of You” on yesterday’s Ellen Show. Last time we saw her she was doing shots with us in the KRZ studio!
EXOTIC FOODS
We were talking about strange foods this morning after reading about a NYC restaurant that is serving cheese made with breast milk. Listener April called to tell us about a dish she tried in South America called Cui. It’s a type of Guinea Pig. Mmmmm, sounds delish!
Here’s the photo!!!
Would you eat this?
Blogging @ 25,000 ft, 1 ½ hrs outside of Atlanta…
Reality is sinking in. Our quick little getaway to Aruba is over. What an amazing 4 days @ the RIU Palace Hotel!
Note to self: book a longer vacation next time. 4 days is no way near enough time for this kind of trip! We left for the airport Tuesday morning @ 1:30 for a
6am flight out of Philly and checked into our hotel @ 4. Luckily they had Rum Punch waiting for us in the lobby. Nice touch.
And the sunset wasn’t too shabby either!
They say this place is “One Happy Island” and it really is. We rented a Jeep our first day to check out the rest of the Island. It was almost like being in Arizona…very dry, desert-like, and cactus everywhere.
At the hotel we heard a tourist ask “Where does the water come from?” Good question. I went to Wiki for the answer: Aruba has the 2nd largest Saltwater Desalination plant in the world. It can produce 11.2 million gallons of distilled drinking water a day.
Hooiberg Mountain, one of the highest points on the island. 562 steps to the top.

Quickie Lickie. Is it really a laundromat?
If you’re thinking of hitting Aruba, definitely go all-inclusive. Our hotel had 5 restaurants, 5 bars, and a room with stocked fridge & liquor cabinet. The room service menu was limited, but again included. Food & drink was way expensive. An 8oz beer was $5. A chicken wrap @ a beach bar was $14.

Looking back, it was a great trip. The people on the island were super friendly & helpful. Go all-inclusive, give yourself plenty of time for travel, and visit Aruba…one happy island!

Sue talked me into going figure skating today. Yikes…I haven’t skated in years. Luckily, Sue was able to teach me a few things. I only fell 3 times!

Special thanks to the Ice Box, Scranton for the ice time.
WWE wrestler The Undertaker makes a red-hot entrance at a pay-per-view event in St. Louis and gets a little to close to the flames. Luckily the burns her suffered were nothing worse than a bad sunburn.
We’re sitting here in the office planning for tomorrow’s show & Sue just called me a pig hater! I’m not offended by that at all…in fact, I wear that badge proudly!
It all started this morning when Sue said she wanted to adopt a potbellied pig after reading the story of the 28 @ a local animal shelter.
First off…Sue is never home. I’d be left caring for the oinker. Secondly, we don’t own a farm & don’t plan on getting one anytime soon. A pig in the house makes no sense to me. In a related note, bacon isn’t on my heart healthy diet!
I feel bad for the little piglets. They were abused by their owner. But I’m not ready to let one run loose in the house!
How about you?
Call Kathleen, the shelter’s adoption coordinator @ 585.0511
Btw…
I just blogged from my Iphone! How cool is that? Download the Wordpress App if you’re a blogger.

Big news…I made a BIG BOY purchase yesterday. Sue and I were having dinner last weekend at a great new Italian place in Dallas, Fresco Grille, when I realized: “I need a coat!” Stupid, I know, but everything I have hanging in the closet is a jacket not a coat. So I picked up this coat at Burlington COAT Factory. Sue swears it’s a jacket, not a coat. What do YOU think?
~Rock (still trying to act like a grown up)
Here’s some of the comments left on our Facebook page:
Melissa–A coat is heavy and for when it’s freezing outside, a jacket is lighter and for spring or fall when it’s to cold to just wear a shirt but not cold enough to bundle up! 
Here’s the song used in the Olympic Nike commercial: The Hours “Ali in the Jungle”. Try this in your Ipod the next time you go for a run or workout @ the gym!
Here’s the vid of John Mayer apologizing for the comments he made in Playboy. Whatever, he’s still the biggest d-bag.
