WEENIE OF THE WEEK FOR 8/5/11

2011-08-05T10:17:00.002-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...
the 16-year-old who was busted early Tuesday morning doing 111 miles per hour on
Highway 151 in Dodge County while on his way home from what he called a
late night "taco run" to Beaver Dam. In his defense, the driver told cops he thought he was only doing 95.
So, for not trying to outrun the deputy into the next county...I mean didn't he realize that his late night taco run qualifies as a "run for the border" anyway?
For not using a plausible excuse when pulled over...sorry, officer, but I just ate five tacos and I was speeding home because I really gotta poop. Like now!
And for telling the officer that you thought you were only going 95 miles per hour instead of the 111 he says you were traveling, which is still 30 miles per hour over the speed limit. That proves that with your math skills, you'll likely end up working in an industry where you won't have to travel far for fast food tacos...you'll be behind the counter...and you'll be getting the employee discount.
We are proud to name the 16-year-old 111-miler per hour Beaver Dam taco runner as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week.

AMY WINEHOUSE...MOTHER?

2011-08-01T11:43:00.002-05:00

The London Daily Mirror reports that the late Amy Winehouse (pop star, heavy drinker, drug queen) was in the process of trying to adopt a 10-year-old girl from the island of St. Lucia. That sounds to us like a pretty bad idea!

Having Amy Winehouse as your parent would be like having Billy Joel as your chauffer.

It would be like having Ozzy Osbourne as your translator.

Like having Courtney Love as your pharmacist.

Like having Lady Gaga as your personal fashion designer.

Like having Jay Cutler as your wedding planner.

Like having Larry King as your marriage counselor.

Like having Michell Bachmann as your history teacher.

Like having Barack Obama as your credit counselor.

Like having Governor Walker as your union's local chairman.

Like having Dee Snider of Twisted Sister as your makeup technician.

In fact, having Amy Winehouse as a parent would be like having Rick McNeal
as your sex ed instructor.

GRAPH THE BEATLES

2011-07-31T10:48:00.005-05:00

With Paul McCartney's big shows tonight and tomorrow night at Wrigley Field, it seems like a good time to take a look at Graphjam.com's funny Beatles graphs.

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 7-29-11

2011-07-29T10:58:00.004-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenies of the Week...20-year-old Jordan Cardella of South Milwaukee and his two buddies Anthony Woodall and Michael Wezyk. Cardella convinced his friends to shoot him with a rifle so that his ex-girlfriend would feel sorry for him and take him back. Even the prosecutor called this "the most phenomenally stupid case I've ever seen". And Wezyk's attorney agreed, saying he was "sorry to bring something so stupid into (the judges) courtroom".

So,

For getting his buddy to shoot a hole in his arm...which should go perfectly with the hole he must have in his head.

For coming up with a plan so dumb, Jordan, Michael and Anthony should change their names to Moe, Larry and Curly.

And for proving that a shot in the arm with a syringe may treat a virus but a shot in the arm with a rifle is no cure for a broken heart.

We are proud to name Jordan Cardella, Michael Wezyk and Anthony Woodall of South Milwaukee as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIES OF THE WEEK!

COCKTAIL FRANK 7.29.11

2011-07-29T10:52:00.003-05:00

Some week's we have more than one really good Weenie of the Week Candidate (and this week we had several). Occasionally, we name a runner up, someone not quite a big enough weenie to get the full title. They're a smaller weenie. They're our Rick and Len Show COCKTAIL FRANK!

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Cocktail Frank...Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan who reportedly fell off the wagon HARD earlier this month, getting drunk at two bars during an alleged weekend bender in Elkhart Lake, getting into what police are calling a "scuffle" with another patron and hassling women, two of whom allegedly flashed the mayor, but not until after he was passed out on the bar.

So,

For not realizing that Elkhart Lake bars are no place to mix politics and alcohol. That what the Kennedy Compound is for.

For falling off the wagon so many times, it's amazing he doesn't have wheel track marks across his chest.

And for not understanding that as a politician, he's supposed to be passing out favors not passing out on the bar.

We are proud to name Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan as this week's Rick and Len Show…COCKTAIL FRANK!

PIECE OF MASS

2011-07-27T11:17:00.004-05:00

Dallas police busted this guy this week for allegedly running a sex club that he claims is a church. The "church" reportedly had porn playing on big screen televisions, topless dancers, and condom-stocked VIP rooms with beds. Here are the ways to differentiate between a sex club and a real church.

If a lot of people seem to be on their knees but none of them are actually praying...it might not be a real church.

If there are no hymns playing despite the presence of many available organs...it might not be a real church.

If the only time someone calls out the name of god, it's while they're having an orgasm...it might not be a real church.

If that wasn't holy water you just got sprayed with...it might not be a real church.

If "the host" you’re expected to put in your mouth isn't a communion wafer but rather, the guy running the party...it might not be a real church.

If the priest isn't the only one getting some action...it might not be a real church.

If you see a woman with beads that are not a rosary because nobody in their right mind would put a rosary where she just had those beads...it might not be a real church.

If there are plenty of people getting nailed but none of them to a cross...it's definitely NOT a real church!

OFF HIS ROCK-ER

2011-07-26T11:43:00.003-05:00

A guy in Sweden is receiving support from the Swedish government for having a psychological because he suffers from an addiction to Heavy Metal. Here's some of the signs you too may have a heavy metal addiction.

If you spend so much time going to concerts you hardly ever see your daughters Lars, Slash and Yngwie...you might be addicted to heavy metal.

If you were almost late for your own wedding because you couldn’t decide which black t-shirt to wear...you might be addicted to heavy metal.

If you've ever been injured moshing at a baptism...you might be addicted to heavy metal.

If you flash your metal horns at a concert so often, you end up wiggling your fingers more than a woman having sex with Rosie O'Donnell...you might be addicted to heavy metal.

JAY WALKING!

2011-07-25T10:34:00.004-05:00

REASONS JAY CUTLER CALLED OFF HIS UPCOMING WEDDING TO MTV STAR KRISTIN CAVALLARI

10. Caught her wearing his mascara.

9. Couldn't walk all the way down the aisle without re-injuring knee.

8. They couldn't decide on a gown...or which one would get to wear it.

7. Found out that unlike the team he plays for, she doesn't suck.

6. Was afraid people would see him cry in church which wouldn't be manly the way it is on a football field.

5. He couldn't find a garter in Bears' colors and his size.

4. Realized they weren't really compatible when he learned she has a vagina.

3. Only store they could register at was Bed Bath and Beyond All Comprehension Why This Guy is a Starting NFL Quarterback.

2. While they didn't know what they were going to receive that was "something old, something new or something borrowed" the something "blew" was what he did to his team's chances of winning the 2011 NFC Championship game.

1. What? Jay Cutler quit on something. Say it ain'’t so. Next thing you’re going to be telling me is Amy Winehouse didn't die of natural causes!

A couple on Lincoln Avenue called police to report that upon awakening around 6 a.m. they found a man in his underwear standing in their bedroom.

When police spoke to the intruder he told them he'd been at a tavern and couldn't remember much of what happened after he left the place. He did not remember removing his clothing or entering the Lincoln Avenue home. When he awoke in the morning he went looking for the bathroom and wound up in the bedroom of people he did not know. They yelled and he ran.

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 7.22.11

2011-07-22T10:40:00.003-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...the Appleton cop who shut down the lemonade stand run by a pair of 9 and 10 year old girls. The cop and police chief have since apologized indicating that they had misinterpreted a new ordinance enacted by the Appleton City Council.

So,

For providing his own competition to the lemonade stand by leaving a sour taste in all our mouths for free.

For proving that in Appleton, when life gives you lemons, you make...lemon bars, lemon nut biscotti or a nice lemon meringue pie, anything but lemonade because, if you do, you’re just asking for trouble.

For apparently thinking the intent of the Appleton City Council when they wrote the new ordinance was to crack down on greedy, opportunistic, money-grubbing 9 and 10 year old girls...which, now that I think about it, given the history of the Appleton City Council, really isn't that far-fetched.

We are proud to name the Appleton cop that shut down two little girls lemonade stand as this week's Rick and Len Show...Weenie of the Week.

(BENNY) HILL STREET BLUES

2011-07-21T16:46:00.003-05:00

Gee, whiz, all somebody did was take some video from a 4-year old attempted escape from the Albany (NY) County jail and set it to a well known song (and sped it up a little). And now, the folks who run the jail have their panties in a wad. See if you can figure out why they don't like it.

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 7.15.11

2011-07-15T10:05:00.001-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Weenie of the Week...Tyler Kosmoski, the owner of the Diamond Factory, a Ashwaubenon jewelry store, who allegedly took in customers items for cleaning or repair or to sell by consignment only to turn around and pawn the items before fleeing the area. Police say they have received at least 75 complaints concerning missing items valued at $100,000 and growing. Police finally tracked Kosmoski to the Wausau area after his vehicle was found stuck in a forest near Rib Mountain. He was arrested there Wednesday night after a foot chase.

So,

For at a time when a competitor "wants to be your jeweler" instead prefers to "want to be your felon".

For going from selling 14 karat gold bracelets, to himself, sporting a pair made from a far less precious metal.

For going from selling earrings to 'earing the words "you're under arrest".

And for allegedly committing acts that could result in him being sentenced to spending up to 10 years in a place where the only jewels he’ll be getting close to will be those of an overly affectionate cellmate.

We are proud to name runaway Ashwaubenon jeweler Tyler Kosmoski as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK.

GILLIGAN'S ISLAND CREATOR DIES....AMAZING!

2011-07-13T08:21:00.006-05:00

Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of Gilligan's Island, died this week. As you may or may not know, you can sing the lyrics to Amazing Grace to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme. Try it yourself. What a fitting tribute!

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
and Grace will lead me home.

http://youtu.be/hq1BmHXsaqM

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...

Marinette Mayor Robert Harbick, who was arrested last weekend for drunk driving after leaving a fast food restaurant parking lot and smashing into a light pole...at 3:45 p.m.! Police say his blood alcohol level measured more than point-two-four percent.

So, for running over a light pole assuring he was the only thing lit up on Marinette’s streets that afternoon.

For besmirching the image of lovely little Marinette so badly that you can actually hear them snickering over the border in Menominee.

For inadvertently changing Marinette's tourism slogan from "Your City By the Bay" to "Your Mayor Under the Influence".

And for cranking the Commodores on his car radio... "You’re once, twice, three times the limit."

We are proud to name Marinette Mayor Robert Harbick, accused of driving poop-faced drunk into a light post as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week!

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 7.1.11

2011-07-01T11:12:00.004-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Weenie of the Week...well, first let me say this, earlier this week, we had the story of a man in Fond du Lac who had to be rescued by firefighters after he got his hand stuck while trying to retrieve a Snickers Bar from his car's gas tank. Afterward, we received a number of e-mails from listeners indicating that this poor guy should be Weenie of the Week. Really? You think he should be the Weenie? Wasn't he just doing what anyone else would do if they found someone had jammed a Snickers Bar into their gas tank? Seriously, what would you do in that situation? Leave it in there and see what kind of gas mileage it gets? So, I say "Nay!" This unfortunate Fond du Lacian is not the weenie. No! He is the victim! So, we would like to proudly name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...the jack wagon who jammed the Snickers Bar in this guy’s gas tank in the first place? Who does a thing like that?

So, for jamming something in a tight space where it doesn’t belong...an act they themselves could end up on the receiving end of should they be apprehended and sent to prison.

For apparently thinking the guys car was running like Betty White.

So, for seeming believing that there are now four grades of gasoline; regular, premium, unleaded and NOUGAT!

We are proud to name whomever stuck the Snickers Bar in the guy's gas tank in Fond du Lac (or as I like to call them, "The Bad Snicker Jammer of Fond du Lac County" ) as this week's Rick and Len Show...Weenie of the Week!

JESSI CAMPBELL IS BACK!

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 6.24.11

2011-06-24T09:59:00.002-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...Joseph Sloma of Denmark, a former charter boat captain, who this week was sentenced after having been found guilty of blowing up several other charter fishing boats in Kewaunee's Salmon Harbor Marina in 2009. The only reasons Sloma ever gave to investigators for his actions was the fact that he didn't like some of the charter boat captains who owned the boats and "peer pressure".

So,

For blowing up boats which is only acceptable behavior when it comes to inflatable dinghies.

For thinking he could destroy fishing boats and not be found gill-ty. (I am sooooo ASHAMED!)

For not understanding that if everybody in Wisconsin just blew up whatever they didn't like, Soldier Field would be nothing but a smoking crater and a pile of ash.

We are proud to name Joseph Sloma, the Brown County charter fishing boat captain who blew up his competition's boats as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

CLARENCE CLEMONS 1942-2011

2011-06-20T10:21:00.005-05:00

We bid farewell today to The Big Man.
The yin to The Boss's yang.
Wailing on that saxophone
While Bruce played guitar and sang.

Handling that golden horn
With his enormous, but so agile hands
As Springsteen told the 10th Avenue tale
Of when the Big Man joined the band.

Clarence blew notes that sounded like release.
Like escaping from a place you didn't want to be.
They were the sound of hitting the road and going places.
The sound of leaving it all behind and being free.

Together he and Bruce took us places.
Down Thunder Road to Jungle Land
Reliving all their Glory Days
He was Born to Run with the rest of the E-Street band.

He was the last great sax man of the rock era
Which really is a bloody shame.
Then again, no one was ever going to do it better than him.
To even try would have been in vain.

So, farewell to New Jersey's "Minister of Soul".
He played with power, control and class.
And the only thing that blows harder
Is the fact that now he's passed.

SMALL TOWN CRIME WAVE 6.20.11

June 1st City of Brown Deer
Police responded to an incident at Brown Deer Middle School where a girl left a classroom with a plastic bag holding a dead frog. Her teacher told her she could not take the frog and must return to class. The girl kept walking saying the frog was hers because she paid for it. An officer at the scene and told the girl if she left school she would be arrested. The girl left and was arrested.

June 15th City of Appleton
Police were called to the Taco Bell at the intersection of Richmond Street where a man suspected to be drunk was passed out behind the wheel of his running vehicle in the drive-through lane. When police finally got the man to wake up by knocking on his window, he turned up the volume on his car stereo and started bobbing his head to the music while ignoring officers. During the incident, the man repeatedly referred to a female officer as "baby" and "honey". When the officer asked the man to submit to field sobriety tests he replied, "C'mon, we're not all stupid here. Do you even need to do these on me? Serious. C'mon."

June 8th City of Oak Creek
A 48-year-old woman was arrested for drunken driving after she was seen getting out of her car and pooping in the bushes outside of Fleet Farm.

R.I.P. BIG MAN

2011-06-18T20:51:00.003-05:00

Clarence Clemons--the Big Man with the big horn-- died today of complications from a stroke he suffered last weekend, said Bruce Springsteen's spokeswoman. He was 69 years old.

Here's a clip of Clarence with the E-Street Band in London in 2009, playing Jungleland, which has the greatest sax solo in rock history, played the way only Clarence could play it.

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenies of the Week...Jonathan and Jared Pippert, the 32 and 27-year-old Sheboygan brothers who live with their mother and were charged Monday with disorderly conduct for fighting over a bottle of shampoo.

So,

For letting a little shampoo get them worked into a lather.

For getting into a physical altercation that left them both black and Selsen blue.

And, for in a week with many solid Weenie candidates, engaging in behavior that put them Head and Shoulders above the rest.

We are proud to name Jonathan and Jared Pippert, the adult Sheboygan brothers who were arrested after getting in a fight over a bottle of shampoo as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIES OF THE WEEK!

THE RING!

2011-06-17T07:28:00.002-05:00

Yesterday, the Packers finally got their SUper Bowl rings.

And here are some factoids about all the symbolism and what-have-you involved in the ring.

* The 'G' logo in the middle of the ring includes 13 diamonds, one for each of the Packers championships.
* Football-shaped diamonds dot the corner of the top of the rings, representing the 4 Super Bowl titles.
* A total of 92 diamonds surround the crest, representing the 92 years that the franchise has existed.
* On the inside of the ring, the scores of all the Packers playoff wins are included, as well as the logos of the opponents (congratulations, Eagles fans, you're on a Super Bowl ring!).
* Also on the inside is a '1' alongside the words "Mind, Goal, Purpose and Heart", a sort of mantra that the Packers used on their way to the title.
* One side features the Lombardi trophy and the player's name a number, with the number encircled as it was on the Packers throwback jerseys this year. On the other side is a rather exquisitely crafted likeness of Lambeau Field.

As for size and gaudiness, the ring checks in with 3.35 total carats of diamonds, falling just behind the 3.61 carats the Steelers crammed onto their rings for winning Super Bowl XLIII. Comparing it to other recent champions, the Saints got 2.2 carats on their XLIV rings, and the Giants, comparatively tasteful and restrained, went with 1.5 carats after XLII.

2011-06-10T10:29:00.002-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Weenies of the Week...a group of anti-Walker protesters who, this Wednesday, crossed the line by disrupting a Special Olympics ceremony in Madison that the Governor was part of, while dressed as zombies to make the point that...well, who the hell knows what kind of point they were trying to make. They were dressed as zombies and disrupted a ceremony for Special Olympians!

So,

For dressing as zombies who are known to always be looking for "Brains, brains, BRAINS!" when admittedly, they clearly are in need some.

For acting like they are the walking dead when evidently, they're only really dead from the neck up.

And for showing that the only thing more horrific than their zombie make up...is their choice of time and place to protest.

We are proud to name the anti-Walker protesters who disrupted a Special Olympics ceremony this week in Madison as our Rick and Len Show...Weenies of the Week!

WIENER OF THE WEEK!

2011-06-07T10:13:00.002-05:00

Well, Congressman Anthony Wiener finally admitted the the crotch shot he sent to some woman on Twitter was, in fact, his. This after a week long "investigation" by Wiener to find out if the crotch in the picture was his. As suspicious as that sounds, you have to understand that it was very hard, er, difficult for him to recognize his junk without his testicles which were removed when he joined the Democratic party.

The whole story has made me realize that with all wieners looking like

WAYS TO MAKE YOUR WIENER EASIER FOR YOU TO IDENTIFY

10. Dress it up in a nice jaunty hat.

9. Paint it red and white to look more patriotic when paired with your blue balls.

8. Let your cats use it as a scratching post.

7. Get one of them big white birds like Beretta and let him perch on it.

6. Draw a face on it which will make it both easier to identify and put on delightful puppet shows.

5. Attach a white flag to it. This will not only make it easier for you to identify. It will also make you look French.

4. You can keep the purple helmet, but have the number 4 removed to clear up any confusion.

3. Hang a white cane and tin cup from it after putting a patch over it's one eye.
2. Tie a string around it which will also serve a subtle reminder to "Hey, don't take picture of this and Tweet it to impressionable girls".

1. Slather it in mustard and put it in a bun which while making it easier to identify will also make it riskier to attend baseball games and Ricky Martin barbecues.

THOR LOSERS!

2011-06-01T10:05:00.005-05:00

A new paper by Brown University Department of History researchers attempts to explain why The Viking's disappeared. They claim it was a result of climate change. We have our own ideas...ten to be exact.

THE TOP TEN REASONS THE VIKINGS DISAPPEARED

10. Tribal council failed to approve bonding referendum to build them a new coliseum even after the old one was damaged by heavy snow as a punishment from the gods.

9. One of their elders was accused of sending etchings of his horn to unknowing maiden.

8. Many lost interest in raping and plundering after no longer being allowed to bring in out-of-state talent for their debauched longboat parties.

7. Incompetent guidance from their leader Brad the Bald.

6. Despite coming close on several occasions, could never pillage the big one.

5. Under-utilized their greatest warrior Adrian the Fast while relying too heavily on aging Brett Graybeard.

4. Left longtime ice covered homeland for warmer Valhalla like land called Los Angeles.

3. Spent too much time sacking port cities of the North Atlantic instead of opposing quarterbacks.

2. Same reason all the other barbarian tribes vanished...couldn’t reach Collective Pillaging Agreement.

1. Could no longer stand being viciously plundered twice a year by superior tribe just 275 miles to their east.

2011-05-27T10:22:00.005-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Weenie of the Week...Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt who was the driving force behind the purchase and construction of Elvis' favorite roller coaster for Bay Beach. However, after spending over 3 million dollars to bring the Zippin' Pippin to Green Bay, Schmitt and his team miscalculated how much power it would use resulting in the roller coaster blowing a fuse on it's second day of operation leaving a full load of riders stuck on board.

So,

For being no stranger to coming up short.

For building a roller coaster that has the exact same problem he has as mayor...not enough power to get the job done.

For taking Elvis Presely's favorite roller coast, and making it look like "a hunka hunka burnin' junk. I said a hunka hunka burnin' junk, I said a hunka hunka burnin' junk".

We are proud to name Green Bay Mayor and Zippin' Pimp, Jim Schmitt as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

ZIPPITY DOO-DOO!

2011-05-24T10:26:00.002-05:00

The new Zippin' Pippin roller coaster debuted at Bay Beach this weekend...until it blew a fuse on Sunday afternoon and left riders stranded for a while. It was then shut down until they could get a larger transformer. Here are some other signs...

YOUR PIPPIN MIGHT NOT BE ZIPPIN'.

If it's slower than George W. Bush doing long division...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it goes up and down fewer times than Rick's zipper at a week long orgy...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it has fewer twists and turns than a drive across Nebraska...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it's as likely to leave you stranded as a 3 hour tour on the S.S. Minnow...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it offers fewer thrills than a romantic weekend with Zsa Zsa Gabor...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it spends more time at a stand-still than you in your morning commute on an icy morning on Highway 41...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it's fuse has been blown more times than a Motley Crue roadie...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

If it elicits fewer squeals of delight than a male stripper at Melissa Etheridge concert...your Pippin might not be Zippin'.

THE $131,OOO HAT

2011-05-23T07:06:00.002-05:00

This hat worn by Princess Beatrice to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton may look like a giant pretzel on her head, but it just sold for more than $131,000 at a charity auction.
A bit of advice from the Rick and Len Show... never wear this hat or one like it into the Wisconsin woods during deer hunting season.

Happy Rapture Day!

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 3.20.11

2011-05-20T10:30:00.002-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...Mason Seckar of Oshkosh who was featured on the national syndicated TV show Inside Edition this past Monday where he described routinely using Skype to make prank 911 calls to various police agencies, mainly in St. John's County, Florida.

Seckar would tell the 911 dispatchers things like he was the father of an unconscious girl in need of help or he was shot on a motorcycle and bleeding to death, or that he was a gun-wielding maniac ready to shoot people or even that he was in a fast food restaurant bathroom doing things with his "5-year-old girlfriend". Police say Seckar made at least 180 such calls wasting a hundreds of hours of police time and valuable manpower. Seckar says he made the calls because he "was bored" and in his own defense, says he still thinks they were pretty funny!

So,

For calling 911 more frequently than Zsa Zsa Gabor calls Life Alert.

For ratcheting up the crazy in Florida when Florida needs more crazy like Osama bin Laden needs another hole in the head.

And for breaking the law just because he was bored. Hey, Mason, if everyone who listens to this show broke the law every time they got bored, we'd have a millennium long backlog of Small Town Crime Wave stories.

We are proud to name Mason Seckar of Oshkosh as this week's Rick and Len Show...Weenie of the Week!

APOCALYPSE; NOW...ONLY TWO DAYS AWAY!

2011-05-19T10:54:00.005-05:00

Well, this is it! According to that one dude, Saturday the world is going to end. Here's a list of:

WHAT CELEBRITIES WILL BE DOING DURING SATURDAY'S APOCALYPSE

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER...won't see any of the apocalypse since, if the pictures of the maid he's been banging are any indication, he's been totally blind for 14 years.

BILL CLINTON...will ignore the reports of the apocalypse and will head to Bay Beach Saturday where he will spend the day repeatedly unzippin' his pippin.

JAY CUTLER...will spend the day pouting and weeping...not because it's the end of the world...but because it's a day that ends in "y".

OSAMA BIN LADEN...will be unaware of the apocalypse since he'll be spending the day being passed through some ocean bottom-feeder's colon.

RICH BRITISH WOMEN...will spend the day watching as "the sun becomes black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon becomes red like blood" while trying to find big goofy hats that match the color scheme.

MICHAEL STIPE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BAND R.E.M....will feel fine.

THE EDITOR OF THE GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE...will spend the day making excuses for why "apocalypse" is misspelled on the front page headline.

KEITH RICHARDS...will spend Saturday getting acquainted with many cockroaches since, as of Sunday, they will be his only living companions.

BRETT FAVRE...will spend the day converting to the Hindu religion which believes in reincarnation so he can spend the rest of eternity trying to decide if he’s going to come back or not.

Police apprehended a naked man who fled St. Vincent Hospital on foot just after noon.

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 5.13.11

2011-05-13T16:09:00.004-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...Judge Phillip Kirk of Waupaca who it was revealed this week that when sentencing a 71-year-old child molester appeared to defend the man's actions because the man grew up gay in a time when coming out of the closet wasn’t an option. Judge Kirk's comments included these actual statements:

"I think that if anyone believes that in the last 10 years or 15 years all of a sudden you developed an interest in homosexuality and young boys, then I must have looked ravishing in my prom dress this year."

"No one knew there was a closet to come out of in those days. You had to be very careful, because you could have found your penis floating in the Wolf as walleye bait."

And, "I think you were born gayer than a sweet smelling jock strap."

So,

For proving that justice is not only blind, her funny bone apparently isn't working very well, either.

For not realizing that just because you're gay it doesn't make you a child molester any more than wearing a long flowing black robe to work each day makes you a drag queen.

And for making me wonder whose jock strap he's been sniffing that it smells so sweet because mine has always smelled like ass and nuts. (Maybe it was taint-ed!)

We are proud to name Judge Phillip Kirk as this week's Rick and Len Show...Weenie of the Week.

I guess that covers everything. Oh wait, I almost forgot, you should also know that John is recording his new CD during his show this week at Skyline. So if you're in the crowd, shut up and don't be a douchebag!!!!!!

THIS IS HOW WE SHEBOYGAN!

2011-05-11T10:44:00.006-05:00

The Sheboygan Chamber of Commerce has a new tourism slogan for the city and Rick and Len have the perfect radio ad for it. The campaign theme is "How do You Sheboygan?"

Yes, they've now turned "Sheboygan" into a verb.

But, as Rick and Len Show listeners know, the city on the big lake is already well know for something. That, of course, is the Weird Ass Sheboygan County Story of the Day. So it seems natural to capitalize on it, right?

Click here to hear the commercial we think they should use.

TOO SEXY FOR THE JEWS!

2011-05-09T10:30:00.005-05:00

An Orthodox Hasidic newspaper Photoshopped this now iconic photo of Obama in the war room during the Osama attack. Der Tzitung cut out Hillary Clinton because they said she made the photo too "sexually suggestive". Really? Hillary? I don't know about you but I think...

Hillary Clinton is about as sexually suggestive as…

Ryan Seacrest is straight.

Brett Favre is hung.

Fond du Lac sidewalks are dry.

Former governor Jim Doyle's head is hairy.

Sarah Palin is candidate for MENSA.

Zsa Zsa Gabor is ready to run a marathon.

Larry King's sack is unwrinkled.

The front row of seats at a Melissa Etheridge concert are dry.

WEENIE OF THE WEEK 5.6.11

2011-05-06T10:05:00.003-05:00

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...Assistant Outagamie County Staff Attorney Kenneth Wagner who, it was revealed this week, was cited for "engaging in sexual contact for compensation" at Appleton's Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor. Wagner was busted at Heavenly Touch just a few weeks after Oshkosh assemblyman Gordon Hintz made headlines by getting cited at the same place. Wagner has since resigned his position with Outagamie County.

So,

For resigning his job, which really tugs at our heartstrings, just not as hard as the woman at Heavenly Touch apparently tugged at something else.

For proving that, unlike a session at the Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor, not every story has a happy ending.

And for doing something that left him feeling like a jerk. Which, ironically, the last time he felt like a jerk, he apparently went to the massage parlor and paid someone to do it.

We are proud to name Assistant Outagamie County Staff Attorney Kenneth Wagner as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK.

We are proud to name as this week's Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...38-year-old Becky Riiser of Wausau who this past week pleaded no contest to giving cookies laced with a half box of laxatives to her college biology professor.

So,

For diminishing her chances of graduating summa cum laude in favor of trying to graduate summa cum Ex-Lax.

For not understanding that a passing grade does not generally result from making your professor pass some stools.

For not realizing that many college professors are so full of crap, a half a box of laxatives is barely going to make a dent.

We are proud to name Becky Riiser, a 38-year-old woman who gave her college professor cookies laced with Ex-Lax as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

HOW MANY ROLLER COASTERS WILL BE RUNNING IN GREEN BAY MAY 7TH? ZIP!

2011-04-27T10:53:00.003-05:00

The much ballyhooed opening of the Zippin Pippin Roller Coaster (Elvis' favorite coaster!) at Green Bay's Bay Beach has been delayed. It was supposed to open May 7th but has been pushed back 2 weeks. According to Mayor Jim Schmitt, it's because of the cold weather. Yeah right! Here's the Top 10...

REAL REASONS FOR THE DELAY OF THE OPENING OF THE ZIPPIN PIPPIN ROLLER COASTER.

10. Mayor Schmitt upset after learning "you must be at least this tall" to ride it.

9. Mayor wanted to have carnival-like atmosphere at the opening, but majority of the state's clowns will be in session in Madison that day.

8. Had to bump back opening from May 7th to later in the year because city couldn't afford to outfit each of the coasters cars with snow tires.

7. Wanted to wait until after state supreme court race recount was over figuring the state could only take one roller coaster ride at a time.

6. After seeing Charlie Sheen's Violent Torpedoes of Truth Tour, the mayor realized that when it comes to things that go up and down and make you scream, most people would rather have a porn star goddess than a stupid carnival ride.

5. Mayor is away in Canada on buying trip after learning a park operator there is willing to sell Celine Dion's favorite Tilt-A-Whirl.

4. Police need time to ramp up security after having received reports of a local perverts turning up at the park and zippin' their own pippins.

3. Mayor still working on explanation as to why, due to budget deficits, city's school district had to cut 18 full time teachers and 8 administrators but can afford to buy a frickin' roller coaster.

2. Bay Beach being sued by FOX 11 who claim their Packer post game show has exclusive Green Bay rights for making people queasy and nauseous.

1. We simply can't have nice things!!!

ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS!

2011-04-27T10:35:00.006-05:00

An article I was reading today attempts to explain who is actually planning to get up at 3AM on Friday morning to watch the royal wedding. The article says it will be predominantly "nostalgia freaks and romance geeks". Could you be more specific? We can...

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO WATCH THE ROYAL WEDDING?

2% are just lifelong fans of pomp, pageantry and parading, parasitic puss-buckets.

4% are insomniacs with a fleeting interest in the history of British inbreeding.

6% are terrorists looking for reasons to hate America who don’t realize England isn't our 51st state.

7% are drag queens just looking for fashion tips.

9% are geologists who would normally have to go to the Grand Canyon to see as many crags and crevices as they can see by tuning in to see Camilla's face.

12% are single middle-aged women with way too many cats.

13% are single middle-aged gay men with way too many cats.

18% are the same people who listen to the Rick and Len Show; prison in-mates and elderly shut-ins who are near-fatally starved for any contact with the outside world.

29% are nearsighted horse-racing enthusiasts who have mistaken the procession of the Royal Family members for the number 7 race at Aqueduct.
