Hey all, Anyone know how to do "sloppy" or jagged borders in photoshop?

There's a lot of tutorials around. I use a lot of different methods, depending on the end result I want to have.

I don't know the translations for all of the standard filters that come with Photoshop, but the basic idea is to make a mask in the layer you want to have sloppy/jagged borders. Or make an extra alpha channel to work on.
Make a rectangle selection, invert it and fill it with black (in the mask, which you can directly access via option-clicking on it), or make any selection you want, for that matter. Then you can experiment with the artistic filters (?), I used the Spatter(?) one, but others can be used. After that I did some Dust and Scratches, then again the Spatter. Actually every filter that distorts your image (and is not very usable on normal images) can be utilized to get irregular borders. Or text.

But as I said, you might want to look for some more in-depth tutorials on the net (try searching at www.google.com) that offer the right translations... Have fun!
