After this week, I, Mike McGuff, will be known as the best TV web producer in Houston. And you can cut and paste that all the way to the bank.

Why?

Cheerleaders. You thought I was finished with the cheerleader thing, but I must tell you my friends, we are just beginning a new chapter.

Stay tuned to the MikeMcGuff.com Blog for more.

These two lists will have you shaking your head in agreement at times and yelling at the computer screen the next.

The 25 Worst Hair Metal Bands

The folks at Current.com emailed me about a hilarious animated depiction of what an epic battle between Facebook, Myspace, Friendster and SecondLife would look like in the latest SuperNews episode,“Social Networking Wars.” Featuring warriors that appear as anthropomorphic versions of their brand icons, “Social Networking Wars” unleashes the evil lure that is social networking! A skanky-looking girl just sent you a friend request…are you gonna accept? Bobby just super poked you…are you going to poke back? Shelly’s pissed that she’s not in your top 20 friends anymore…you better send her a virtual hug. Oh, wait, wrong social network.

I never signed up for Friendster. Now I look like a visionary.

All the big movies coming out summer 2008.

I was making my wife watch the video for Motley Crue’s Too Young to Fall in Love and she came up with the wildest concept.

Here, I will let her explain it herself. This is an email she started sending to people:

Remember the Elaine bad dancing leg kick from Seinfeld? If you have a chance, watch the Motley Crue “Too Young To Fall In Love” video and see if you think Vince does that as they are walking into the room.

I don’t get it. If you care, chime in and let us know your thoughts before it affects our marriage.

I’ve noticed a surge in traffic on the MikeMcGuff.com Blog from Raleigh-Durham. What’s the source? Wes’s Weather World blog of course.

The blog is written by former KPRC Channel 2 meteorologist Wes Hohenstein. When he left Houston, it made big news for this blog. I had just started this sucker and was overwhelmed by visitor’s looking for their Wes news! READ MY FULL INTERVIEW WITH WES

Well, Wes was kind enough to add my blog to his favorites section. Thanks Wes! That explains the jump in North Carolina traffic.

Now if I can just get The Chief to add my blog to his blog roll. Heck, I built his weather blog and I still can’t even get on it! Maybe I can get him to predict lottery numbers for me though.
