Shannah Henderson, a University of Minnesota PR major from Lakeville, is just 49 people away from WINNING that Charlie Sheen social media internship.

Once among the reportedly 82,000 who applied, Henderson's now one of just 50 still in the running to become an intern for the troubled, promiscuous, possibly drug-using former, and for all we know future, star of CBS' "Two and a Half Men."

"Things look very promising right now," Henderson told me Wednesday. She based that on the fact that "The guy who's in charge of the internship [search] is re-tweeting what I say. That's pretty good. That's a big deal."

The application process required contestants to craft something Twitter-worthy to illustrate why they should be considered for the internship. "I tweeted something pretty interesting," said Henderson, who needs to work on that self-esteem: "I will keep the Sheeniacs salivating for more day-to-day controversy."

She coins words that you can almost hear rolling off the tongue of Charlie Sheen, the Quote Machine.

Wednesday's new word: Obsheenity. Definition: "An obscene or indecent act that everyone else wishes they were doing."

It's easy to see what Sheen's people like about this 2008 Lakeville South grad. But what does she see in him?

"I just find him so influential. Just the fact that he doesn't let people tell him what to do. He's the most high-profile person right now in America. Plus he's himself," said Henderson, whose video application is at www.startribune.com/a280.

Henderson's dad, Lakeville's Richard Henderson, is thrilled she's still in the running because he "loves Charlie Sheen, loves his show, thinks he's figured everything out about our society, and I agree," Shannah said.

Her boyfriend, Steve, however, "is totally not happy that I'm doing this. He's like, Charlie Sheen is going to try to get in your pants."

Listen to the boyfriend.

"You know what? I can control myself, and I totally will," Henderson said.

While drugs and promiscuity, lately with goddesses, seem to be cornerstones of the Sheen lifestyle, Henderson said she indulges in neither.

Biblical messagesThat @BronxZoosCobra on Twitter is coming off as quite the little asp: "I agree with Brett Favre. Snakes should be set free."

When a runaway Cobra makes fun of you on its Twitter page, is that an indication that you need to keep a serpent's profile down in Mississippi? Nevertheless, there's a website claiming that Favre's e-mails now end with Bible quotations.

Bye-bye, G.R.The bad news for G.R. Anderson fans: He's no longer with MyTalk FM107.1.

The good news Wednesday was that the remaining two co-hosts of the "Colleen & the Boys Show"-- now "Colleen & the Boy"? -- did not name Anderson "Jerk of the Day."

Ramsey County booking records are talking, even if Anderson isn't. Gerald Ramsey Anderson Jr. was arrested Sunday after refusing a sobriety test in St. Paul. He's had these problems before, according to public records.

Dan Seeman, veep and GM of MyTalk, would not say why Anderson was dismissed.

After breaks during the show Wednesday, Colleen Kruse announced "G.R. Anderson is out today." Then in the last five minutes, Chris Reuvers explained that things had been different at the studio the last couple of days. Talking about other goodbyes he's had to say recently, Reuvers finally got to the point:

"Today, ladies and gentlemen, we have to say goodbye to G.R. Anderson. G.R. was a gigantic part of this show. He's no longer employed at the station. [Blah, blah, blah...] That's all we're going to say."
