Ladies, are you missing any unmentionables? Check out this story:

FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLFAX, Wash. — A man is facing a sentence of one-and-a-half months after admitting he stole 93 pounds of women’s undergarments.

Garth Flaherty, 24, was charged with first-degree theft and burglary in the stealing of 1,613 pairs of panties, bras and other women’s underwear from laundry rooms...

Flaherty was arrested March 24 after police received a report of a man hanging out in an apartment complex laundry room. In his bedroom, police said, they found enough women’s underwear to fill five garbage bags.

Police had previously received 12 reports of panty thefts in the northeast part of Pullman, where Washington State University is located.

The accused is reportedly not related to Keeley Flaherty.

Last week, Moos was absolutely enamored when she randomly tuned into Step Up on HBO. The dancing was as modern and entertaining as the story was cheesy. And Moos ate it up.

The movie follows the cliché dance movie storyline: Rebel guy meets good girl. Someone gets shot. Rebel guy and good girl hook up. They enter a dance competition together. The end.

When we were driving the day after Moos was exposed to Step Up, and she was recapping her excitement over the movie, we coincidentally heard previews on the radio for Step Up 2. Moos shrieked with giddiness. The movie debuts on Valentine's Day, the radio announced. Moos says she'll be in line at the theater. I'd rather be at home watching Superbad.

Dear Coachella,

Why did you have to announce such a shitty line-up this year? Last year, you created probably one of the greatest concert experiences of my life, but that was due in large part to the line-up --Bjork, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a reunited Rage Against the Machine headlined the event. This year you come back with Jack Johnson, Portishead and Roger Waters headlining? WTF?

This line-up is taking a beating on the Coachella message boards. Where you continue to deliver a great selection of up-and-comers (Tegan and Sara, Cold War Kids), as well as a blast from the past (Roger Waters), you failed miserably to live up to delivering the big headliners. Even worse, you failed to live up to the hype and speculation that bands like Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, and the White Stripes would make the bill. Tisk, tisk.

I'm PISSED that Jack Johnson is headlining Friday night. While he's a good musician, his lullaby-esque set cannot hold down at 60,000 person crowd. I'm DISAPPOINTED that there's virtually no hiphop on the lineup. Last year you brought Lupe Fiasco, the Roots and Ghostface whereas this year Aesop Rock is the only notable rapper.

Just as easily as you gained a patron, Coachella, you lost one. I'm NOT going to Coachella this year, and will instead have to look toward Sasquatch, Rock the Bells, Bonnaroo, or Lollapalooza to get my festival fix this year.

Your loss,
Paolo

Today's conspiracy theory: Blue Monday was created by angry white people to undermine MLK celebrations

Today, Jan. 21, is supposedly Blue Monday -- that dark, cold day of the year when all the negative, terrible factors (time of year, day of week, post-holiday depression, etc.) align and we're all doomed to have a terrible day. Well, it's also MLK day. Coincidence? I think not. Clearly, white supremacists created the day to combat the celebration of civil rights.

How do I know? Because I'm having a great day. I don't have to work because today's a company holiday (for MLK), and Scott and I just came back from Crystal Mountain where I owned skiing. I'm hanging out now and have band practice in a few hours. I'd call this a good, not blue, Monday.

Oh, and Happy 21st Birthday, Caitlin. Word on the street is that you woke up with 21 Sharpie marks on your arm. We all know what that means. Way to go, drunky!
