Just when I thought flying couldn't become more unpleasant comes word that US Airways (NYSE:LCC) passengers will have to fly over New Mexico dry. Apparently, the airline is in a tiff with the state's alcohol regulators, who have refused to give them a permit to serve booze while in or over the state. Apparently, the state extends into orbit.

Stuck for what to bring to that Thanksgiving potluck? I'm thinking a cheesecake would be nice, but...I wish there was a way to make it a little more fattening. Thankfully, Lisa Robertson of North Carolina showed me the way with her award-winning Krispy Kremey White-Chocolate Raspberry-Filled Cheesecake, which uses Krispy Kreme (NYSE:KKD) donuts for its crust.

Fancy perfumes have been tied to celebrity endorsers for as long as there have been celebrities, but I was taken aback by Coty's latest pitchman. It recently announced the creation of a new line of scents under the name of country singer Tim McGraw. I'm betting there'll be the aroma of whup-ass in every bottle.

Finally, for those of us who sing in the car comes a great idea from Japan. There, engineers are testing "melody roads", roads with surface grooves and cuts that cause a car to vibrate such that it creates recognizable songs-- but only when driven at the proper speed.

Ironically, to hear the song "I Can't Drive 55," the driver has to drive... 55.

(I made that last part up.)

McGraw's cologne, drop the whup, pour homme, de essence of arse. Tim can't whup crap, too many fat ass body guards surrounding him. In the ring man-o-man, he would drop like a lil' girl.
