Jerry Puffer — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:01:05 +0000

It’s Memorial Day weekend and, of course, Memorial Day, at least to me, signifies the “official start of summer”.

Jerry Puffer — Tue, 01 May 2012 18:42:03 +0000

Libraries are something that we are all blessed with as Americans, and here in Shelby, we are most fortunate to have the services of the Toole County Library. Sometimes I like to say that the library building is "the building with the most stories in town"! And it doesn't even have an elevator! The Friends Of The Library will be holding their book sale this Thursday (5/3) at the white building, next to Hong Kong Chans

Meet the Lizardman

Jerry Puffer — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:11:08 +0000

He's "the Lizardman" and he's my guest at 4:35 this afternoon (Friday) on the Puffman Show. This guy is a pioneering figure in the world of body modification. And I thought my two radio microphone tattoos were odd! The Lizardman has endured an estimated 650 to 700 hours of tattooing. He's had five Teflon horns subdermally implanted above each of his eyes to form horned ridges, four of his teeth have been filed into sharp fangs, his tongue has been bifurcated (split) and get this afternoonsiders: The Lizardman estimates the work done to transform him would, at full price, cost close to $250,000 and he's still not done!

Can You Recognize the Most Famous Haircuts in Hollywood History?

Dylan Schenker — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:46:11 +0000

There are some fictional characters whose hair is so iconic that if someone were to take the razor to their cranium they’d lose their whole identity. What would Mr. T be without his beard and mohawk?
