Taco Bell officials are denying allegations in a class action lawsuit that their beef contains “binders and fillers” and little real beef.  They did admit, however, that non-bovine substances occasionally enter the mix while the bull is being dragged out of the ring.   

A jury in Honolulu acquitted a woman who was charged with beating up a peacock.  They apparently believed her plea of mistaken identity when she claimed she thought she was attacking rapper LL Cool J.

Olympic water nymph Amanda Beard now admits that she competed while under the influence of drugs, alcohol and an eating disorder.  The drug rap sounds phony, though.  She was disqualified after tests showed unacceptable levels of chlorine.

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s 12,000 square foot Bel-Air, CA mansion, once owned by Elvis Presley, is on the market for $28 million.  It boasts eight bedrooms, six baths, a sub-zero freezer and a built-in peanut butter and banana sandwich deep fryer.

Citing various defects requiring immediate repair, Toyota has recalled 1.7 million vehicles including several ultra-plush GS Lexus models.  Owners complained that their GPS system frequently misidentified four star restaurants as five star.

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
