• A Man. A Plan. A Small Battery-Operated Device.

  How many times have you wished you had your own drumset, so you could bust out a rim shot every time your buddy says something outrageously funny, like "Get-r-done!"? Well, one Houston man is trying to turn that dream into reality. Glen Jackson, a 48-year-old refinery worker, recently patented the design for the "Rim Shot," a small battery-operated device that gives you a rim shot or drumroll at the touch of a button. Comic genius, or the most annoying toy ever? Hair Balls had to find out.

  No, this is definitely not spaghetti Sheesh. Check out the yawn on you! You'd think someone had cut your head in half. Sure, it doesn't beg notice that it's Monday morning. THE Monday morning following an incredibly steamy, incredibly dehydrating 4th of July weekend. You've already debated quitting your job so you don't have to show up this morning. Or at least you rationalized telling your boss you've contracted bird flu. Or that one of your lungs fell out. But enough already. Just quit

Besides playing House of Blues Friday with Redman and Ghostface, looks like Meth will spend some time in Houston meeting with lawyers as well. ​This evening is the first installment of the Houston Underground Social Hour, or HUSH, Matt Brownlie of Bring Back the Guns' monthly event offering late-night-styl

• Planned Parenthood Director Becomes an Anti-Abortionist Protester

  ​This just in from Bryan, TX: Abby Johnson, the very recently former director of Planned Parenthood in that city, is now a protester outside the facility. In an interview filmed by KBTX - TV, Channel 3, Johnson said she'd had a change of heart after viewing an ultrasound and can no longer support a woman's right to abortion. Now, after joining the nearby Coalition for Life, Johnson is one of the protesters, which in turn, has caused Planned Parenthood to file a restraining order agai
