A few years ago, a company started and wanted Slacker to do some appearances.  After he turned them down, he watched that company blossom, grow, and be sold to coca-cola for billions of dollars!  Just thinking about it makes Slacker cringe….

Steve has no regrets…right… but he does know two people that could have married into the McDonald’s family!

What is something you wish you coulda, woulda, shoulda, done?

Yi!
 
This might not be the biggest problem in the world, but it’s really bothering me. My bf and I were out at a bar and this other guy kept hitting on me. That’s not what bothered, what bothered me is that my bf didn’t do anything about it! He just kinda brushed it off and when I said something to him later he said that he’s happy other guys think I’m hot. But I want him to defend me, let other guys know I’m his. Am I being completely irrational? I don’t think it’s a lot to ask for.
 
Thanks guys,
Kelly

Steve says at the end of the night, she is going home with him, so it doesn’t really bother him.

Slacker has always had guys sniffing around his women and for the most part, he ignores it.  It’s not like he has his tail between his legs, it just doesn’t bother him.

So, what do you think?  What advice do you have for Kelly?

Are Christmas lights dead?  In Slacker’s neighborhood, nobody has lights…

Where can he go to see some awesome lights?

Slacker also thinks that inflatable snow globes are the lazy person’s decorations.  Steve thinks the reindeer antlers on the cars have to go… What do you think should go?  Can you prove to Slacker having an inflatable is not lazy?

A man in Louisiana was in a hurry and was trying to pay when the clerk had to go and help an elderly woman trying to use a credit card at the gas pump.  He yelled “oh come on!” at the old woman. He felt awful, so he took out a week of classified ads reading, “To the ‘someday you’ll be 80, too’ lady at the Kroger gas station 12/1/10. Please forgive my impatience. I should never be in such a hurry. I’m so sorry.”

Today, Steve apologized to an ex-girlfriend. Steve knew he was a horrible boyfriend.  They were basically roommates that had relations towards the end.

Slacker wanted to apologize to Kim for completely wasting her time.  At some point to him it became just friends but it didn’t seem that way to her. He kind of just let it happen because he was always on the road and he just used her as a home base.

So, we know it’s hard to say, but when did you have to apologize?

After 25 years and nearly 50,000 guests 77 year old Larry King, ended his CNN talk show last night.  Larry said “Instead of goodbye, so long,” as he ended the program.

His final guests included Donald Trump, Brian Williams, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters.   And he also received goodbyes and well wishes from President Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Tony Bennett, Barbara Walters, Ryan Seacrest, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Maher.

FYI, Morgan Freeman is very much alive!  Someone posted on CNN’s Twitter that he had died but it was later removed.

Lindsay Lohan is celebrating her 100th day of sobriety. That is, it has been 100 days since her last positive drug and alcohol test.  Lindsay will remain at Betty Ford Center until January 3, 2011.

Sean Combs knows how to throw some hot parties, but this may be a topper. Last night Diddy threw a party in a penthouse at The London hotel in NYC for his new album ‘Last Train to Paris’ and posted it live on Ustream.

During the party which was attended by celebs such as Rihanna, Usher, Trey Songz, and Fabolous, the camera cut to comedian/actor Kevin Hart who was chillin’ next to the hot tub with some models. There’s also a model in the hot tub surrounded by candles, and someone is also throwing rose petals in. At one point, she leans back and unknowingly catches her hair on fire.
