I love Abigail Clancy!  This might be like the 100th time I have featured her on SCP, but I just can’t help myself. Anyways, here is her FHM photospread.

Why can’t she breakthrough in America?

Still haven’t decided how I am going to bet the Super Bowl. Any thoughts?

Anytime you work John Clayton in a video, I am there!

Do you like eating meals of food?  I do.  I also enjoy adding condiments to said meals, in order to enhance their taste. It is a common practice among those who eat meals of food.

Though the statistical evidence may point to salsa (for MEXICANS!) as the most popular condiment, I would argue that ketchup (FROM AMERICA!) is still the number one choice.

But it’s not all a walk in the park for those of us who enjoy garnishing our meat and potatoes with delicious ketchupy goodness. For generations, eaters on the go have struggled to get enough ketchup to provide full meal coverage. The Packets are simply too small. It takes a minimum of 3 and  sometimes upwards of five to flavor a burger and fries to taste.

At least, until now.  The heroes at the Heinz pickle company have come out with what is undoubtedly the greatest innovation in food eating history

It seems that Vanessa Perroncel was just not intimate with John Terry and Wayne Bridge. Three other former members of the Chelsea FC enjoyed the company of the French lingerie model.

“Vanessa Perroncel is alleged to have had flings with strikers Adrian Mutu and Eidur Gudjohnsen, defenders Wayne Bridge and Terry as well as a fifth mystery player.

The revelations will increase the pressure on embattled Terry, who faces fresh calls to step down as England captain.”

I am still somewhat shocked over the actions of John Terry. Do you really sleep with one of your best friends girlfriends or ex-girlfriends? Maybe he has never heard the phrase “Bros before Hoes.” There goes my wager on England to win the World Cup now. Money shifts to the Germans!

And once again England soccer trumps the USA team. This time in scandalous behavior.
