Welcome

I would like to welcome Austin, who will be a regular poster on Flotsam Jetsam. For some reason he goes by the tag of LindaNelson (my boss's name), but seems to have his finger on the pulse of LA. He has broke some very important stories by either seeing it first hand or somehow hearing about it before they even made the papers or the internet. Here are a few of those stories over the past year:
  • Matt Leinhart was dating Kristine from Laguna Beach.
  • The Lawerence Phillips incident last weekend.
  • Ike Austin accepting money to play at ASU.
  • Derek Lowe sleeping with the Fox Sports girl.
  • Matt Leinhart breaking up with Kristine and then dating Jessica Simpson's best friend (the one that lived with them).
  • Michael Jackson's love affair with all those kids (Austin used to be a regular guest at Neverland).

So he will be our field reporter for good and accurate gossip about LA athletes. Also, I'm hoping he will add some insight for college football gamblers which seems to be lacking here at Flotsam and Jetsam. His knowledge in basically all College Sports is second to none.

Welcome

Welcome, Austin!

Derek is absolutely correct - outside of MAC games, the college football knowledge is huge gap here on this website.

Fill us in on the latest travails of other Hollywood stars of interest, like Jm J. Bullock, Edie McClurg, and Alfonso Ribiero.

I don't know if Z is serious, but the idea of taking your boss' name as a posting name reminded me of how my old college buddy matt from outside of chicago used to wear a headband with our dorm RA's name on it a la mcmahon/rozelle. This was a great maneuver totally lost on the lampooned target, and I think matt really enjoyed being called the punky qb. That's all.

Austin: Your first assignment is to report on this story, found on the "news24" website:

Los Angeles - Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G was dunked in the sea by Pamela Anderson's bodyguards - after rugby-tackling the actress at her dogs' wedding.

Wow. How many mind-boggling facts are in this paragraph?
- Pamela has bodyguards
- Ali G rugby-tackling Pam
- Dogs' wedding?
