THE FLAT FROG
There was this little boy about 12 years old walking down the sidewalk, dragging a flattened frog on a string behind him. He comes up to the doorstep of a house of ill repute and knocks on the door.
When the madam came to answer it, she saw the little boy and asked what he wanted. He said he wanted to have sex with one of the women inside, had the money to buy it, and wasn't leaving until he got it. The Madam figured, why not, so she told him to come in.
Once he got in, she told him to pick any of the girls he liked. He asked her if any of the girls had any diseases, and of course the madam said no. But he said he'd heard that all the men were talking about having to go to the hospital and get shots after making love with Mable,and THAT was the girl he wanted.
Since the little boy was so adamant and had the money to pay for it, the madam told him to go upstairs and go to the first room on the right. So he headed down the hall dragging the squashed frog behind him.
Ten minutes later he came back down, still dragging the frog, paid the madam, and headed out the door, at which time the madam stopped him and asked him just why he picked the only girl she had in the place with a disease, instead of one of the others.
He said: "Well, if you must know, tonight when I get home, my parents are going out to a restaurant to eat, leaving me at home with a baby-sitter.When they leave, I'm going to have sex with my baby-sitter, who happens to be very fond of cute little boys, and then she will get the disease that I just caught.
When mom and dad get back, dad will take the baby-sitter home, and on the way, he'll jump the babysitter's bones, and he'll catch the disease.
Then when dad gets home from the babysitters, he and mom will go to bed and they'll have sex, and mom will catch it.
In the morning when dad goes to work, the milkman will deliver the milk, and he'll have a quickie with mom, and he'll catch it,
and
HE'S the son-of-a-bitch who ran over my FROG!!"

Price of Things
A boy and his date were parked on a back road some distance from town, doing what boys and girls do on back roads some distance from town, when the girl stopped the boy.
"I really should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm actually a hooker and I charge £20 for sex."
The boy reluctantly paid her, and they did their thing!!
After the cigarette, the boy just sat in the driver's seat looking out the window.
"Why aren't we going anywhere?" asked the girl.
"Well, I should have mentioned this before, but I'm actually a taxi driver,
*
and the fare back to town is £25.

Rail Barawos!!!
BERLIN (Reuters) - A court in Germany has convicted three men of stealing over four km (2.5 miles) of rail track, weighing nearly 500 tonnes, to sell as scrap metal.
The court in the city of Marburg said Tuesday the men, aged 26 to 29, pretended to be working for the national rail operator Deutsche Bahn when they began carving up a disused line between nearby Niederwalgern and Lohra with blowtorches.
"They even went around handing out leaflets to locals asking for understanding about the noise," a court spokesman said.
"The stolen tracks were worth about 170,000 euros
($230,000) altogether, but they'd collected less than 100,000 euros by the time they were caught."
The crime has become so famous that the regional education ministry has used it as a model for a math exam, asking pupils to calculate the weight, volume and value of the stolen steel.
The three suspects, all Germans born in the former Soviet Union, had removed 476 tonnes of steel track by the time they were caught when a local man contacted Deutsche Bahn to check their story. Two suspects confessed and received 18-month suspended sentences. The third was given two years and one month

PATNA, India (Reuters) - Hundreds of Indian rail passengers got more than they had bargained for when the driver of their train asked them to get out and push.
It took more than half an hour to move the stalled electric train 12 feet so that it touched live overhead wires and was able to resume its journey, officials said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred in the eastern state of Bihar on Tuesday after a passenger pulled the train's emergency chain and it halted in a "neutral zone," a short length of track where there is no power in the overhead wires.
"In so many years of service in the railways, I have never come across such a bizarre incident," said Deepak Kumar Jha, a spokesman for Indian Railways.
A train's momentum usually allows it to continue moving through neutral zones.
India's rail network carries more than 15 million people daily -- more than the combined population of Norway and Sweden -- but its safety record often comes in for criticism.

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Last year, Chilean-born artist Marco Evaristti mixed fat removed from his body by liposuction with ground beef to make meatballs, which he fried in olive oil and displayed in a public gallery.
This year, he plans to climb Western Europe's highest mountain, Mont Blanc on the French-Italian border, colour the summit pink and declare it an independent state, with himself as president.
His work has been slammed as disgusting, publicity-seeking and immoral but Evaristti says he is simply trying to highlight some of the double standards he sees in the world around him.
"What I'm trying to do with these works is to give society a jolt and make it ask questions," the 44-year-old said in a telephone interview from Denmark, where he lives with his wife and children.
"And it can answer those questions, and in that way maybe we can be a little better as human beings."
Evaristti's meatballs piece consists of 13 tins of the meat on a long table, in an echo of Christ's last supper.
He says the work is about the sanctity of the body and an unhealthy modern obsession with food and weight loss.
"Firstly, I want to show people that meatballs made with my fat are no more disgusting than the meatballs you buy in the supermarket," he said.
"Secondly, it's a dialogue with a modern society that lives to eat, rather than eating to live as it should be.
"You eat, and when you're fat, you go to a clinic, have an operation, have your fat removed and you start to eat again."
When he displayed the piece in Chile, Evaristti invited 12 people to join him in eating the meatballs in a last supper.
How did they taste? "Even better than my grandmother's," he said.
FISH SOUP
In perhaps his most infamous work, Evaristti filled food blenders with water, dropped live goldfish into them and plugged them into the electricity mains in an art gallery.
He gave the public the option of making their own fish soup by simply flicking a switch.
He also painted an iceberg in Greenland red and placed an embalmed human corpse in the front seat of a Ferrari, all in the name of art and introspection.
Evaristti is not alone in provoking shock and disgust by using humans and animals, dead and alive, in his work.
German anatomist Gunther von Hagens triggered outcry around the world some years ago with his "Body Worlds" displays of preserved human bodies, cut open to reveal their inner structure, and British artist Damien Hirst gained notoriety for pickling a dead sheep and a shark in formaldehyde.
But even in a world inured to the impact of such work, Evaristti's pieces have prompted fury and retaliation.
In Austria last year, animal rights activists broke into a gallery where his work was displayed, liberated his goldfish and smashed his blenders. They are trying to put Evaristti on trial for animal abuse.
Evaristti has had death threats and galleries displaying his work have twice been subjected to bomb threats.
FRAGILE WORLD
When he painted the iceberg in 2004, Evaristti says he was highlighting the fragility of the natural world. The iceberg melted, dissolving his work into the North Atlantic.
That was the first part of a trilogy, the second part of which Evaristti plans to unveil on Mont Blanc in June.
Undeterred by warnings from French authorities, he wants to colour the top of the mountain pink (although he refuses to say how) and declare it an independent state.
"They haven't given me permission, they say I'm mad," he said.
The third part of the trilogy will be staged either in the Sahara or Chile's Atacama Desert later this year.
Born a Jew in predominantly Catholic Chile, Evaristti spent much of his early life in
Israel' before moving to Britain and finally Denmark, where he has spent the past 24 years.
He converted to Buddhism in 1994 and says he tries, not always successfully, to practice his faith

You and your new husband stand shoulder to shoulder with a dove in your hands as your friends and relatives eagerly wait. The photographer gives the ready signal and you open your hands toward the sky. Not a dry eye in the house, the camera flashes; the moment is saved for eternity.... Wedding Gown $2,500. Photographer $2,000 Having "the twins" pop out and say CHEESE in front of your family and friends... PRICELESS!!!!!
TIME Magazine's Alternate 100 influential people
The Alt TIME 100
Sure, Pony Ma, the Chinese tech entrepreneur on the TIME 100, is important. If you're completely detached from reality. To find out who really matters, I held a lunch where today's real powerbrokers—Xzibit, rapper and host of MTV's Pimp My Ride; Bridget Marquardt, 1/3 of Hugh Hefner's girlfriend and star of E!'s Girls Next Door; Eddie Sanchez, UFC fighter; Tommy the Clown, krump dancer; Dr. Boogie, hairstylist and contestant on Bravo's Shear Genius; Jimmy Jimmy Coco, spray tanner; Glenda Borden, party planner—compiled a list of 100 people who actually influence society. Herewith, the Alt TIME 100:
1. Al Gore, environmentalistGore was everyone's first choice. He is, they felt, the only politician who matters at all. "He got an Oscar," explained Xzibit. "That counts for something. At least he's talking about something that matters." To the panels knowledge, no other politician has ever been important enough to win an Oscar.
2. Anderson Cooper, CNN anchorAfter Al Gore, the Alt TIME 100 believes that Anderson Cooper is the most important person in the world.
3. Russell Simmons, owner Phat FarmSimmons appeared on a surprising number of the panelists' lists. It turns out that's because most of them knew him. "He's a really nice guy," said Bridget Marquardt. I had a chance to work and live with him," said Dr. Boogie. Russell Simmons, despite all the meditation, is not a quiet homebody type.
4. Heather Mills, dancerThe panel just loves Dancing With the Stars. And they're impressed that "her leg doesn't just fly off." As you'll see throughout, the panel has only a vague understanding of medicine.
5. Anna Nicole Smith, model"She had presidential levels of press coverage," explained Glenda Borden. There was some talk about putting her daughter Danielyn, on the list, but they decided that would be too much.
6. Martin Scorcese, directorThe Oscars are very important to the Alt TIME 100.
7. Will Smith, actorNo good reason other than people love Will Smith.
8. Tom Anderson, founder of MySpaceThere was a spirited discussion about whether parents should let kids on MySpace. Xzibit doesn't let his son on the internet unless they do it together. Glenda says letting her daughter on MySpace gives her more info about her daughter's life than she would ever have without it. The Alt TIME 100 hopes to air this debate on All Things Considered. Tommy the Clown, by the way, has over 160,000 friends.
9. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, creators of YouTubeThe panel thought YouTube might even be more important than the MySpace. "More shit breaks there than on CNN," said Xzibit
10. Hugh Hefner, editorEveryone thought Hef should make the list. Then I explained that Bridget was one-third going out with him which made the panel very excited. If Bridget was two-thirds going out with Hef, I don't think the panel could have taken it.
11. Nancy Davis, MS fundraiserShe throws big parties and gets Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and Tara Reid to come. "Everyone participates," Glenda said.
12. Paris Hilton, celebutantThe panel wanted to create a side list called "Trainwrecks" which would include Paris Hilton (or, as Xzibit called her, "Paris Hitler"), Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Ritchie, Anna Nicole Smith and the Bush twins. But 100 is an awful lot of people, so I listed them separately. I left off the Bush twins because I'm not sure the panel really meant it. We were drinking quite a bit by the time their names came up. It just didn't seem fair.
13. Lindsay Lohan, celebutant
14. Britney Spears, celebutant
15. Nicole Ritchie, celebutant
16. Angelina Jolie, actressAdopting babies, the panel thought, was a good trend to start.
17. Lance Armstrong, cyclistTwo years later, still loving a sport they've never watched.
18. Tyra Banks, TV hostThe panel felt that if they had to choose between Tyra and Oprah — a rule they invented themselves — they'd pick Tyra. In fact, they called her the new Oprah.
19. Oprah Winfrey, TV hostStill, they love old Oprah too.
20. Sanjaya's hair, American Idol contestantAs Xzibit pointed out, "It's working, and that's the disturbing thing."
21. Simon Cowell, American Idol judgeMore people vote on American Idol than the Presidential elections, Xzibit pointed out. And almost as much is written about it.
22. Paula Abdul, American Idol judgeRandy Jackson, it seems, is utterly expendable.
23. LeBron James, basketball playerHe's really good.
24. Debbie Allen, choreographerShe does a lot of stuff with kids. The panel loves kids! You mention "kids" and you get on this list.
25. Osama Bin Laden, head of Al QedaThe panel pointed out that he's likely to outlast Bush as head of an organization
26. Dr. Dre, producerDre was so widely agreed upon as important, that people who work for Dre almost made the list too.
27. Mike Lazrdis, Blackberry founderTommy The Clown called him "a real life saver." You can't afford to be out of touch for a moment when you're a krump dancer. That stuff breaks out anywhere, anytime.
28. JesusWhen I made it clear that only living people could make the list, the panel — in loud unison — pointed out that he's very much alive. There was no talking Jesus off this list.
29. The Troops
30. Tony Hawk, skateboarderStill very important.
31. Dana White, CEO of the UFCThe UFC is much bigger than boxing. So are lots of things, but I didn't want to say that with Eddie Sanchez sitting right near me.
32. Donald Trump, real estate mogul"He's doing seminars and teaching people how to make money. A lot of people keep those secrets to themselves," explained Dr. Boogie. According to the Alt TIME 100, Donald Trump is a giver.
33. Martha Stewart, doyenneThe group got into a discussion of whether to put Martha Stewart or Hillary Clinton on the list. When I asked why it had to be one or the other, Dr. Boogie said, "If there are two powerful women, you might as well pick Martha." I fear discussions about Supreme Court justices were made that way.
34. The Maloofs, owners Sacramento Kings and Palms CasinoThe owners of the Palms casino in L.A were a huge favorite to make the list. The Palms is very, very important.
35. Mr. Cartoon, tattoo artistNot only did he do Xzibit's tats, but Ron Howard is making a film about him.
36. Toyota Prius, carThe panel did not care that, technically, the Prius is not a person.
37. Bob Burnquist, skateboarderIn addition to the one-footed smith grind, he also cares about the environment. Good marketing move.
38. Mike Metzger, dirtbike riderDirtbike riding is huge, Eddie Sanchez assured me. I have no idea
39. Julie Arko, Dove Real Beauty modelThe panel though she provided an important positive body image for women. Arko was chosen because she was the hottest one.
40. Stephen Brandman, hotelier60 Thompson and the Roosevelt are very important.
41. Steve Aoki, DJSon of Behinihana owner Rocky Aoki + brother of model Devon Aoki + hanging out with Lindsay Lohan all the time + desire of rich kid to call himself DJ Kid Millionaire = very important
42. Lash Fary, Distinctive AssetsYou want a decent gift lounge at your awards show or other event, you have to call Lash Fary. Which is his real name.
43. Jack Bauer, TV characterTommy the Clown watches a lot of 24. He thinks Kiefer Sutherland is pretty cool. But can he krump? That would freak the terrorists out.
44. Gail Sumpter, Malibu city permits managerYou want to throw any kind of party in Malibu, you have to go through Sumpter. Any kind of party.
45. Bono, singerAll that Africa stuff.
46. Mark Frazier, body painter"The girls look like they're wearing lingerie, but they're completely naked," says Bridget about the trailblazer who invented a somewhat socially acceptable way to allow women to attend parties nude. He got his start at Playboy, but "now he does lots of parties."
47. Borat, made-up characterThe panel is not at all sick of Borat.
48. Rhonda Byrne, author, The SecretThe real TIME 100 will probably be nice to Ms. Byrne. But the Alt TIME 100 panel was much more honest. Which was striking for a bunch of L.A. celebrities. "People have to watch this to figure that stuff out?" asked Xzibit? Still, he wanted her on the list for pulling one over on people so well.
49. Essence Carson, captain of the Rutgers women's basketball teamIf her speech wasn't so impressive, the panel thinks Don Imus would still have his job. "That was the tipping point for that dude," said Xzibit. Malcom Gladwell has infiltrated everywhere.
50. Dan Charron, VP, Miralus HealthcareThat "Apply directly to the forehead" commercial really cracks Xzibit up.
51. Frank Miller, comic book artistSin City and 300? Enough said.
52. Jesse Billauer, quadriplegic surferHe's big on MySpace.
53. Tyler Perry, actorHe makes those movies all by himself, basically.
54. Monique, comedianMore good body image stuff. While not at all fat, the panel loves fat people. Though not enough to date them.
55. Dr. Boogie, hairstylistAlthough he only appeared on one panelist's list, he made an impassioned case. "I go out and preach and tell people how not to be depressed. I preach to a lot of people," said Dr. Boogie. He did not mean this as a joke. I checked.
56. George Clooney, actorThe panel felt strongly about Darfur. The panel also felt strongly that the most important player in the Darfur crisis is George Clooney. The panel does not equate feeling strongly about something with reading about that something.
57. Sammie, Jimmy's catSammie, who ate some of that poisoned pet food, is a survivor.
58. Steven Hirsch, CEO Vivid picturesA friend of Glenda's, his video company buys up most of the celebrity sex tapes. And, more importantly, didn't buy the Screech one. Xzibit was initially excited about this idea since he owns a lot of Vivid videos, but didn't think Hirsch was quite important enough for the list. But again, I needed 100.
59. Bill Clinton, former PresidentThey love Bill Clinton. More than anyone except Al Gore. The panel loves the 90s.
60. Magic Johnson, businessmanXzibit thought that Magic has some secret cure for AIDS he wasn't sharing and should be left off the list until he divulges his secret. Xzibit has strange thoughts about both medicine and the power of this list.
61. Michael Jordan, retired basketball playerI was surprised that Jordan, who has been retired for four years, made the list. Then I found out that many of the panelists had been at parties or hotels that Jordan was at. "He buys the bar out!" Xzibit said of Jordan's generosity. "You've never been out with Jordan?"
62. Randy Couture, UFC fighterEddie says he's going to be the breakout star of ultimate fighting. More than Tito Ortiz. And Tito Ortiz has the advantage of dating Jenna Jameson.
63. Elvira, TV hostBridget loves Elvira. Bridget's dream is to host a show where she visits haunted houses. No one else cared about Elvira, but, really, 100 is a lot of people. And I don't want to squash Bridget's dreams.
64. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran"Not because of his mental disabilities, but because he always has a tight blazer on," explaned Xzibit.
65. Flavor Flav, rapperThey like that he made a comeback. Even if it was a comeback only a little more dignified than Phil Spector's.
66. Kim Jong Il, Supreme Commander of North Korea"Not because of the nuclear capabilities, but because he is wearing stunner shades!" Xzibit said.
67. Christian Joy, stylistGlenda says she's really good. Who knows?
68. Wendall Green, manager, Bar MarmontHe runs the bar at the Chateau Marmont. So he can get you into the bar. And maybe get you drinks.
69. Josh Richman, party promoterAny party promotion company that calls itself Alliance Partners is impressive enough for me. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there's also a hedge fund called "Throw Your Hands in The Air."
70. Zac Posen, designerIf you want a Zac Posen outfit, you can't get one if Zac Posen isn't involved. I should have got a quote about him. I don't know anything about fashion.
71. Nate Berkus, interior designerHe can design an interior really well
72. Ellen Degeneres, hostPeople love Ellen. And the panel likes how she handles her gayness.
73. Virginia Tech victims' parentsThe group suddenly turned into a group of TIME editors. "How do we handle the shooting on the list?" the asked out of nowhere. There was no way they were putting the shooter, even though that seemed the most intellectually honest. At first the victims were considered. Then the grief counselors. Then someone suggested the parents, and everyone was quite pleased. It was exactly like being at a 10 a.m. meeting at TIME.
74. Karl Lagerfeld, designerI though he was old and unimportant, but I was wrong.
75. Steven Miesel, photographerHe's also still important in the fashion world. I was hoping the Alt TIME 100 panel would be a little more cutting edge and not pick people even I had heard of.
76. Scott Barnes, inventor of Body Bling makeupDr. Boogie and Jimmy got in a tiny tiff about body makeup versus spray tanning. They agreed to disagree.
77. Coco Brother, host of Spirit of Hip-HopCorey Condry hosts a radio show where he bridges hip-hop with the gospel. And it's sweeping the nation! Maybe not, but Tommy the Clown thinks it's important.
78. Owners of Golden BirdTommy the Clown insists that the fried chicken at this restaurant in the Inglewood section of Los Angeles is exemplary, or as he put it "They do chicken right." Bridget is also a fan of battered chicken, ordering the Chicken Milanese for lunch without even knowing what it was. When the waiter explained how it was prepared, she exclaimed "Chicken fingers! Why didn't you just say that?" Bridget has a point.
79. Howie Mandel, TV hostWithout him, you'd just be looking at models holding suitcases. You need the Howie visuals to make you long for the suitcase models. It's the yin-yang concept.
80. Chris Hansen, TV hostSome people (Xzibit) didn't think To Catch a Predator is all that important, but Jimmy Jimmy Coco felt that catching pedophiles was way important. That's a pretty sweet trump card Jimmy has.
81. Eva Longoria, actressThere was a late push to put a Desperate Housewife on the list, but Eva basically one because she gets spray tanned by Jimmy all the time. Though he tried to make it sound socially important by saying she should make the list "for taking the fear out of spray tanning." Eva Longoria 1, terrorists 0.
82. Kirstie Alley, weight loss advocateThe panel was proud of Kirstie for being fat, which is weird because she spent the year losing massive amounts of weight. "God bless her for going on Oprah in a bikini," Jimmy said.
83. Dr. Bryant Bruce, doctorShe's Jimmy's doctor and "she's bringing the house call back." Jimmy is lazy.
84. Dr. Holly Lucille, doctorShe taught Jimmy the dangers of putting pesticides in makeup. Jimmy talked about this for a long time. Everyone was fascinated.
85. Natalia Bruschi, makeup artistWithout her, good-looking people wouldn't look quite as good-looking.
86. Elton John, singerA lot of people put him on the list, but no one had a good reason why. I think this explains much of Elton John's career.
87. Brett Ratner, directorI think he's just one of Glenda's clients. But he does throw a good party. And is BFF with Robert Evans.
88. Jennifer Lopez, actressShe was on Bridget's list. "She made having a big butt acceptable," she said. When I asked Bridget if she thought she had a big butt, Bridget said, "I do have a big butt." She then described herself as the "fat one" among Hef's girlfriends. I wanted to give her a hug, but I think that might have been mostly to feel her up. Either intention, though, I figured was good for her body image.
89. Scarlett Johansson, actressBridget thought she was good for "body issues." I had no idea Scarlett Johansson was fat.
90. Barack Obama, senatorA huge hit with the panel. Bridget particularly liked his proposals on health care.
91. Tiger Woods, golferApparently very good. And black. Kind of.
92. Brooke Burke, TV hostBridget wants to host television programs, and hopes to be a cross between Elvira, Brooke Burke, Rachel Ray and Samantha Brown. Bridget, it seems, isn't afraid to smile until her face breaks.
93. Hillary Clinton, senatorAlternative people are not Republican people.
94. Michael J Fox, actorThe panel loves stem cell research. And they believe Fox is the top stem cell researcher in the world.
95. Ron Fair, music producer of Pussycat DollsXzibit thinks Fair is the most powerful music producer right now. The guy did make us listen to a song by women who aren't even real strippers. Plus Ashlee Simpson.
96. John Galliano, designerVery good at designing things.
97. Beyonce, singerBridget thinks Beyonce is good for women's body image. Bridget said she knows a lot of people with bulima. Bridget was starting to bring me down.
98. Nancy Grace, TV hostJimmy Coco and Dr. Boogie felt like she "sticks up for the underdog" and is "hardcore." The rest of us thought she was "gross" and "full of crap."
99. Ashley Tisdale, actressShe was in High School: The Musical. Many years ago. Whatever.
100. Dog the Bounty Hunter, bounty hunterXzibit likes that show. I'm just mad because he was out of town and couldn't make the lunch.
Sure, Pony Ma, the Chinese tech entrepreneur on the TIME 100, is important. If you're completely detached from reality. To find out who really matters, I held a lunch where today's real powerbrokers—Xzibit, rapper and host of MTV's Pimp My Ride; Bridget Marquardt, 1/3 of Hugh Hefner's girlfriend and star of E!'s Girls Next Door; Eddie Sanchez, UFC fighter; Tommy the Clown, krump dancer; Dr. Boogie, hairstylist and contestant on Bravo's Shear Genius; Jimmy Jimmy Coco, spray tanner; Glenda Borden, party planner—compiled a list of 100 people who actually influence society. Herewith, the Alt TIME 100:
1. Al Gore, environmentalistGore was everyone's first choice. He is, they felt, the only politician who matters at all. "He got an Oscar," explained Xzibit. "That counts for something. At least he's talking about something that matters." To the panels knowledge, no other politician has ever been important enough to win an Oscar.
2. Anderson Cooper, CNN anchorAfter Al Gore, the Alt TIME 100 believes that Anderson Cooper is the most important person in the world.
3. Russell Simmons, owner Phat FarmSimmons appeared on a surprising number of the panelists' lists. It turns out that's because most of them knew him. "He's a really nice guy," said Bridget Marquardt. I had a chance to work and live with him," said Dr. Boogie. Russell Simmons, despite all the meditation, is not a quiet homebody type.
4. Heather Mills, dancerThe panel just loves Dancing With the Stars. And they're impressed that "her leg doesn't just fly off." As you'll see throughout, the panel has only a vague understanding of medicine.
5. Anna Nicole Smith, model"She had presidential levels of press coverage," explained Glenda Borden. There was some talk about putting her daughter Danielyn, on the list, but they decided that would be too much.
6. Martin Scorcese, directorThe Oscars are very important to the Alt TIME 100.
7. Will Smith, actorNo good reason other than people love Will Smith.
8. Tom Anderson, founder of MySpaceThere was a spirited discussion about whether parents should let kids on MySpace. Xzibit doesn't let his son on the internet unless they do it together. Glenda says letting her daughter on MySpace gives her more info about her daughter's life than she would ever have without it. The Alt TIME 100 hopes to air this debate on All Things Considered. Tommy the Clown, by the way, has over 160,000 friends.
9. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, creators of YouTubeThe panel thought YouTube might even be more important than the MySpace. "More shit breaks there than on CNN," said Xzibit
10. Hugh Hefner, editorEveryone thought Hef should make the list. Then I explained that Bridget was one-third going out with him which made the panel very excited. If Bridget was two-thirds going out with Hef, I don't think the panel could have taken it.
11. Nancy Davis, MS fundraiserShe throws big parties and gets Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and Tara Reid to come. "Everyone participates," Glenda said.
12. Paris Hilton, celebutantThe panel wanted to create a side list called "Trainwrecks" which would include Paris Hilton (or, as Xzibit called her, "Paris Hitler"), Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Ritchie, Anna Nicole Smith and the Bush twins. But 100 is an awful lot of people, so I listed them separately. I left off the Bush twins because I'm not sure the panel really meant it. We were drinking quite a bit by the time their names came up. It just didn't seem fair.
13. Lindsay Lohan, celebutant
14. Britney Spears, celebutant
15. Nicole Ritchie, celebutant
16. Angelina Jolie, actressAdopting babies, the panel thought, was a good trend to start.
17. Lance Armstrong, cyclistTwo years later, still loving a sport they've never watched.
18. Tyra Banks, TV hostThe panel felt that if they had to choose between Tyra and Oprah — a rule they invented themselves — they'd pick Tyra. In fact, they called her the new Oprah.
19. Oprah Winfrey, TV hostStill, they love old Oprah too.
20. Sanjaya's hair, American Idol contestantAs Xzibit pointed out, "It's working, and that's the disturbing thing."
21. Simon Cowell, American Idol judgeMore people vote on American Idol than the Presidential elections, Xzibit pointed out. And almost as much is written about it.
22. Paula Abdul, American Idol judgeRandy Jackson, it seems, is utterly expendable.
23. LeBron James, basketball playerHe's really good.
24. Debbie Allen, choreographerShe does a lot of stuff with kids. The panel loves kids! You mention "kids" and you get on this list.
25. Osama Bin Laden, head of Al QedaThe panel pointed out that he's likely to outlast Bush as head of an organization
26. Dr. Dre, producerDre was so widely agreed upon as important, that people who work for Dre almost made the list too.
27. Mike Lazrdis, Blackberry founderTommy The Clown called him "a real life saver." You can't afford to be out of touch for a moment when you're a krump dancer. That stuff breaks out anywhere, anytime.
28. JesusWhen I made it clear that only living people could make the list, the panel — in loud unison — pointed out that he's very much alive. There was no talking Jesus off this list.
29. The Troops
30. Tony Hawk, skateboarderStill very important.
31. Dana White, CEO of the UFCThe UFC is much bigger than boxing. So are lots of things, but I didn't want to say that with Eddie Sanchez sitting right near me.
32. Donald Trump, real estate mogul"He's doing seminars and teaching people how to make money. A lot of people keep those secrets to themselves," explained Dr. Boogie. According to the Alt TIME 100, Donald Trump is a giver.
33. Martha Stewart, doyenneThe group got into a discussion of whether to put Martha Stewart or Hillary Clinton on the list. When I asked why it had to be one or the other, Dr. Boogie said, "If there are two powerful women, you might as well pick Martha." I fear discussions about Supreme Court justices were made that way.
34. The Maloofs, owners Sacramento Kings and Palms CasinoThe owners of the Palms casino in L.A were a huge favorite to make the list. The Palms is very, very important.
35. Mr. Cartoon, tattoo artistNot only did he do Xzibit's tats, but Ron Howard is making a film about him.
36. Toyota Prius, carThe panel did not care that, technically, the Prius is not a person.
37. Bob Burnquist, skateboarderIn addition to the one-footed smith grind, he also cares about the environment. Good marketing move.
38. Mike Metzger, dirtbike riderDirtbike riding is huge, Eddie Sanchez assured me. I have no idea
39. Julie Arko, Dove Real Beauty modelThe panel though she provided an important positive body image for women. Arko was chosen because she was the hottest one.
40. Stephen Brandman, hotelier60 Thompson and the Roosevelt are very important.
41. Steve Aoki, DJSon of Behinihana owner Rocky Aoki + brother of model Devon Aoki + hanging out with Lindsay Lohan all the time + desire of rich kid to call himself DJ Kid Millionaire = very important
42. Lash Fary, Distinctive AssetsYou want a decent gift lounge at your awards show or other event, you have to call Lash Fary. Which is his real name.
43. Jack Bauer, TV characterTommy the Clown watches a lot of 24. He thinks Kiefer Sutherland is pretty cool. But can he krump? That would freak the terrorists out.
44. Gail Sumpter, Malibu city permits managerYou want to throw any kind of party in Malibu, you have to go through Sumpter. Any kind of party.
45. Bono, singerAll that Africa stuff.
46. Mark Frazier, body painter"The girls look like they're wearing lingerie, but they're completely naked," says Bridget about the trailblazer who invented a somewhat socially acceptable way to allow women to attend parties nude. He got his start at Playboy, but "now he does lots of parties."
47. Borat, made-up characterThe panel is not at all sick of Borat.
48. Rhonda Byrne, author, The SecretThe real TIME 100 will probably be nice to Ms. Byrne. But the Alt TIME 100 panel was much more honest. Which was striking for a bunch of L.A. celebrities. "People have to watch this to figure that stuff out?" asked Xzibit? Still, he wanted her on the list for pulling one over on people so well.
49. Essence Carson, captain of the Rutgers women's basketball teamIf her speech wasn't so impressive, the panel thinks Don Imus would still have his job. "That was the tipping point for that dude," said Xzibit. Malcom Gladwell has infiltrated everywhere.
50. Dan Charron, VP, Miralus HealthcareThat "Apply directly to the forehead" commercial really cracks Xzibit up.
51. Frank Miller, comic book artistSin City and 300? Enough said.
52. Jesse Billauer, quadriplegic surferHe's big on MySpace.
53. Tyler Perry, actorHe makes those movies all by himself, basically.
54. Monique, comedianMore good body image stuff. While not at all fat, the panel loves fat people. Though not enough to date them.
55. Dr. Boogie, hairstylistAlthough he only appeared on one panelist's list, he made an impassioned case. "I go out and preach and tell people how not to be depressed. I preach to a lot of people," said Dr. Boogie. He did not mean this as a joke. I checked.
56. George Clooney, actorThe panel felt strongly about Darfur. The panel also felt strongly that the most important player in the Darfur crisis is George Clooney. The panel does not equate feeling strongly about something with reading about that something.
57. Sammie, Jimmy's catSammie, who ate some of that poisoned pet food, is a survivor.
58. Steven Hirsch, CEO Vivid picturesA friend of Glenda's, his video company buys up most of the celebrity sex tapes. And, more importantly, didn't buy the Screech one. Xzibit was initially excited about this idea since he owns a lot of Vivid videos, but didn't think Hirsch was quite important enough for the list. But again, I needed 100.
59. Bill Clinton, former PresidentThey love Bill Clinton. More than anyone except Al Gore. The panel loves the 90s.
60. Magic Johnson, businessmanXzibit thought that Magic has some secret cure for AIDS he wasn't sharing and should be left off the list until he divulges his secret. Xzibit has strange thoughts about both medicine and the power of this list.
61. Michael Jordan, retired basketball playerI was surprised that Jordan, who has been retired for four years, made the list. Then I found out that many of the panelists had been at parties or hotels that Jordan was at. "He buys the bar out!" Xzibit said of Jordan's generosity. "You've never been out with Jordan?"
62. Randy Couture, UFC fighterEddie says he's going to be the breakout star of ultimate fighting. More than Tito Ortiz. And Tito Ortiz has the advantage of dating Jenna Jameson.
63. Elvira, TV hostBridget loves Elvira. Bridget's dream is to host a show where she visits haunted houses. No one else cared about Elvira, but, really, 100 is a lot of people. And I don't want to squash Bridget's dreams.
64. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran"Not because of his mental disabilities, but because he always has a tight blazer on," explaned Xzibit.
65. Flavor Flav, rapperThey like that he made a comeback. Even if it was a comeback only a little more dignified than Phil Spector's.
66. Kim Jong Il, Supreme Commander of North Korea"Not because of the nuclear capabilities, but because he is wearing stunner shades!" Xzibit said.
67. Christian Joy, stylistGlenda says she's really good. Who knows?
68. Wendall Green, manager, Bar MarmontHe runs the bar at the Chateau Marmont. So he can get you into the bar. And maybe get you drinks.
69. Josh Richman, party promoterAny party promotion company that calls itself Alliance Partners is impressive enough for me. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there's also a hedge fund called "Throw Your Hands in The Air."
70. Zac Posen, designerIf you want a Zac Posen outfit, you can't get one if Zac Posen isn't involved. I should have got a quote about him. I don't know anything about fashion.
71. Nate Berkus, interior designerHe can design an interior really well
72. Ellen Degeneres, hostPeople love Ellen. And the panel likes how she handles her gayness.
73. Virginia Tech victims' parentsThe group suddenly turned into a group of TIME editors. "How do we handle the shooting on the list?" the asked out of nowhere. There was no way they were putting the shooter, even though that seemed the most intellectually honest. At first the victims were considered. Then the grief counselors. Then someone suggested the parents, and everyone was quite pleased. It was exactly like being at a 10 a.m. meeting at TIME.
74. Karl Lagerfeld, designerI though he was old and unimportant, but I was wrong.
75. Steven Miesel, photographerHe's also still important in the fashion world. I was hoping the Alt TIME 100 panel would be a little more cutting edge and not pick people even I had heard of.
76. Scott Barnes, inventor of Body Bling makeupDr. Boogie and Jimmy got in a tiny tiff about body makeup versus spray tanning. They agreed to disagree.
77. Coco Brother, host of Spirit of Hip-HopCorey Condry hosts a radio show where he bridges hip-hop with the gospel. And it's sweeping the nation! Maybe not, but Tommy the Clown thinks it's important.
78. Owners of Golden BirdTommy the Clown insists that the fried chicken at this restaurant in the Inglewood section of Los Angeles is exemplary, or as he put it "They do chicken right." Bridget is also a fan of battered chicken, ordering the Chicken Milanese for lunch without even knowing what it was. When the waiter explained how it was prepared, she exclaimed "Chicken fingers! Why didn't you just say that?" Bridget has a point.
79. Howie Mandel, TV hostWithout him, you'd just be looking at models holding suitcases. You need the Howie visuals to make you long for the suitcase models. It's the yin-yang concept.
80. Chris Hansen, TV hostSome people (Xzibit) didn't think To Catch a Predator is all that important, but Jimmy Jimmy Coco felt that catching pedophiles was way important. That's a pretty sweet trump card Jimmy has.
81. Eva Longoria, actressThere was a late push to put a Desperate Housewife on the list, but Eva basically one because she gets spray tanned by Jimmy all the time. Though he tried to make it sound socially important by saying she should make the list "for taking the fear out of spray tanning." Eva Longoria 1, terrorists 0.
82. Kirstie Alley, weight loss advocateThe panel was proud of Kirstie for being fat, which is weird because she spent the year losing massive amounts of weight. "God bless her for going on Oprah in a bikini," Jimmy said.
83. Dr. Bryant Bruce, doctorShe's Jimmy's doctor and "she's bringing the house call back." Jimmy is lazy.
84. Dr. Holly Lucille, doctorShe taught Jimmy the dangers of putting pesticides in makeup. Jimmy talked about this for a long time. Everyone was fascinated.
85. Natalia Bruschi, makeup artistWithout her, good-looking people wouldn't look quite as good-looking.
86. Elton John, singerA lot of people put him on the list, but no one had a good reason why. I think this explains much of Elton John's career.
87. Brett Ratner, directorI think he's just one of Glenda's clients. But he does throw a good party. And is BFF with Robert Evans.
88. Jennifer Lopez, actressShe was on Bridget's list. "She made having a big butt acceptable," she said. When I asked Bridget if she thought she had a big butt, Bridget said, "I do have a big butt." She then described herself as the "fat one" among Hef's girlfriends. I wanted to give her a hug, but I think that might have been mostly to feel her up. Either intention, though, I figured was good for her body image.
89. Scarlett Johansson, actressBridget thought she was good for "body issues." I had no idea Scarlett Johansson was fat.
90. Barack Obama, senatorA huge hit with the panel. Bridget particularly liked his proposals on health care.
91. Tiger Woods, golferApparently very good. And black. Kind of.
92. Brooke Burke, TV hostBridget wants to host television programs, and hopes to be a cross between Elvira, Brooke Burke, Rachel Ray and Samantha Brown. Bridget, it seems, isn't afraid to smile until her face breaks.
93. Hillary Clinton, senatorAlternative people are not Republican people.
94. Michael J Fox, actorThe panel loves stem cell research. And they believe Fox is the top stem cell researcher in the world.
95. Ron Fair, music producer of Pussycat DollsXzibit thinks Fair is the most powerful music producer right now. The guy did make us listen to a song by women who aren't even real strippers. Plus Ashlee Simpson.
96. John Galliano, designerVery good at designing things.
97. Beyonce, singerBridget thinks Beyonce is good for women's body image. Bridget said she knows a lot of people with bulima. Bridget was starting to bring me down.
98. Nancy Grace, TV hostJimmy Coco and Dr. Boogie felt like she "sticks up for the underdog" and is "hardcore." The rest of us thought she was "gross" and "full of crap."
99. Ashley Tisdale, actressShe was in High School: The Musical. Many years ago. Whatever.
100. Dog the Bounty Hunter, bounty hunterXzibit likes that show. I'm just mad because he was out of town and couldn't make the lunch.

A rampant rhinoceros gave a group of visitors a glimpse of nature in the raw at a British safari park when he tried to have sex with their car.Sharka, a two-ton white rhino, got amorous with Dave Alsop's car when he stopped with three friends to take pictures of the animal mating with his partner Trixie at the West Midland Safari Park.
The 12-year-old rhino tried to mount the Renault Laguna from the side, denting the doors and ripping off the wing mirrors before Dave drove away with a puffing Sharka in pursuit."He was a big boy and obviously aroused," Mr Alsop said on Thursday. "He sidled up against us. The next thing I know he's banging away at the car and it's rocking like hell."A spokeswoman for the park, which says "rhinos are not particularly intelligent animals" on its web site, said Sharka was a hit with the female rhinos and had fathered two calves in the last five years."He's got a bit of a reputation this lad and he was obviously at it again," she added.To get an idea of what it must have looked like, take a look at this commercial from Renault

Man vomits drugs, plane turns around
A passenger on an Australian-bound plane vomited a nylon bag of white powder suspected to be heroin, causing the plane to return to Vietnam in the latest drug mule case between that country and Australia, officials said.
The Vietnam Airlines plane had been flying for an hour after leaving Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday when an Australian man of Vietnamese descent took ill, airline officials told the state-run Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
The aircraft turned around and made an emergency landing at
Tan Son Nhat Airport, where the man coughed up two more bags of white powder. He was detained by police and taken to hospital.
Another newspaper, Lao Dong (Labor), reported doctors found 30 red nylon bags in the man's stomach. It identified him as 35-year-old Nguyen Kant.
The aircraft took off again for the flight to Sydney in the early hours of Sunday morning, officials said.
In March, a man was arrested at the Ho Chi Minh City airport while checking in for a flight to Sydney. He was accused of trafficking 1.1 kg (2.4 pounds) of heroin.
At the same airport in February, an Australian woman was arrested after being caught with 1.5 kg of heroin in her luggage.
Several Australians of Vietnamese descent have been arrested for trafficking heroin to Australia from Vietnam in recent years and at least four were sentenced to death

Tom Sizemore arrested in drug case
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -
Tom Sizemore, on probation for a drug rap, was arrested Tuesday for investigation of possessing methamphetamine as he sat in a car outside a Bakersfield hotel.
The 45-year-old actor, of Calabasas, was arrested after drugs were found in his car outside the Four Points Sheraton hotel, said police Detective Greg Terry.
Officers were called to the hotel at about 7:30 a.m. by a report that a man had challenged an employee to fight while trying to check in, Terry said.
The man, believed to be an associate of Sizemore's, had gotten into a dispute over whether he had a reservation, the detective said.
Jason Salcido, 33, of Whittier, was found to be on parole, and officers found he was carrying a "narcotic smoking pipe," Terry said.
Officers learned that he and Sizemore were together and saw Sizemore sitting in a 2004 Ford Mustang in the hotel parking lot.
"He displayed symptoms of being under the influence," Terry said.
A search of the car turned up two bags of suspected methamphetamine and "some additional narcotics smoking pipes," Terry said.
Sizemore was arrested and booked at the Kern County Jail for investigation of possession of methamphetamine, being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of narcotic paraphernalia, the detective said.
Calls to representatives of Sizemore, who appeared in the movies "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down," weren't immediately returned.
The actor was convicted of methamphetamine possession in October 2004.
His probation was revoked the next year after he acknowledged using a prosthetic device to fake a drug test and failing to be checked for drugs every three days.
Probation was later reinstated but Sizemore faced another parole revocation and prison time after testing positive for drug use in January 2006.
After tearfully acknowledging he used drugs, he was given three years' probation and ordered to submit to weekly drug tests.
The actor also was convicted in 2003 of domestic violence involving former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, an ex-girlfriend. He had been free on bail pending an appeal in that case.
Salcido was booked for investigation of possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotic paraphernalia, being under the influence of a controlled substance, parole violation and disturbing the peace by challenging to fight, Terry said.
Police couldn't immediately say what Salcido was on parole for. It also wasn't known whether he had retained an attorney.
