Domination!

JoeyChestnut

A few months ago, I was inspired so much by Aaron's Six Pack in Six Months campaign that I decided to put down the whole pizza and 12 pack of Pabst and join a gym. That means nothing really, other than I am proud of the fact that I no longer get winded bending over to tie my shoes and I can run a few miles without the need for a defibrillator and a non-rebreather mask afterward.

It being the July 4th holiday, and me not having any fucking friends or a life, I found myself at said gym doing my thing with the other Guido's with their full gallons of water and cases of Rip Fuel. It was here I was watching ESPN's coverage of what I might call sheer domination of any kind in any competitive event. But comparisons to Tiger Woods and calling him an American Hero? That's a big stretch (pants). The "this is the reason why the rest of the world hates us" take might not be that far off, however.

Mr. Chestnut. Nice job on that three-peat. Way to represent the good ol' US of A and show that Jap fucker what a real man can do! Here's some Gas-X. I imagine your ass will be smelling like South Philly soon.

Hey Alaska! Your Next!


Palin fly
It seems Republican Governors, as of late, have got a thing for disappearing acts.  If it's not for some Argentine bimbo it's for an rv tour of the lower 48.

I might be mistaken, but isn't it fucking bizarre for a Governor to just up and quit the job for no reason other than to "travel around the country."  Sort of like McCain taking off from his Presidential campaign to go save the economy.  Palin says, "she can be more effective for Alaskans if she's not Governor."  I keep saying to myself if I repeat it enough times it will begin to make sense, but alas it is not the case.  I am in awe of her idiocy. 

You do have to take into account that all these corruption scandals she's facing like troopergate aren't going away and she's still catching heat for taking off in the middle of an epic flood crisis to go to some lame-ass fundraiser she wasn't even invited to.  But still you can't make this shit up.

"Known as Sarah Barracuda when she played basketball in high school, Ms. Palin used point guard analogy in explaining her decision, saying she knows “exactly when to pass the ball so the team can win.” NYT   "Pass the ball"?? Is she really that retarded.  I have never heard of a Governor handing their office over to someone else because they thought they could do a better job.  Is Palin really capable of such altruism?  Must be.

It looks as if the Republicans are starting their 012 campaign with Mitt Romney touring the country for the last 3 months enlisting support from oil  and coal guys.  I guess Palin figured she'd better get hoppin' and do the same if she's going to be the first female president.  But who supports her?

"Ms. [Mary] Matalin joked that despite her own initial inside-the-Beltway reaction of surprise, shoppers at her local WalMart in the Shenandoah would be whooping “hoo-rahs” because of Ms. Palin’s continued popularity among conservative voters."

Walmart shoppers of course.  Because they know a deal when they see one and Palin is cheapest thrill that side of the Mason-Dixon.  The scary part is that no one knows just how many of these Walmart shoppers actually exist- and that's her secret weapon.


 

The Result of Drunk Blogging...

Let's give it up for the King of Pop one more time!

Oh come on...it could have been way worse.

AofG Relationship Advice

With the ever growing number of atheists in the world, it’s fair to presume that the dilemma over what to do when an atheist and a Christian (or any other faiths) cross paths will also become more prevalent in society. You see, when atheists aren’t “serving the devil” they tend to go about living otherwise normal lives. Sometimes they’ll even partake in a common ritual known as “mating.” Quite often, two people may find themselves extremely attracted to each other, get to talking, perhaps even dabble in some more intimate relations and then BAM…the truth comes out. You’re dating an atheist. What to do…what to do?

Well I think there’s a school of thought that says if two people really want to be together, any contradictory beliefs in regards to religion and politics can be overcome simply by detaching them as far away from the relationship as possible. If that’s not feasible, this type of conflict can actually be productive in helping each other grow as individuals. Perhaps the atheist can look at their mate and admire the fact that this person can put so much faith in something that they can’t possibly know anything about and learn to be less cynical and more open to acknowledging the possible existence of a divine being. Then maybe the Christian can look at the atheist and admire the fact that this person has chosen to lead a good, moral life not because of the reward of eternal salvation or the fear of eternal damnation but because gosh darn it…it’s the right way to be.

Admittedly, I’m no expert on spirituality or relationship advice; I’m just casually throwing all that stuff out there. For the only true answer, I think we know where we need to turn. Take it away, Pat…

Okay, so there's that too.

Question #1: Which Dave Matthews song is best for putting out a fire?

Let's get back into the ring here at AofG and talk about something new -- like race, for example.  As many know, the Ricci v. DeStefano case was reversed by the SCOTUS yesterday.  Who do you think is right (or most right or least wrong)?  Personally, I don't see how a firefighters' exam could be racially biased, unless it was chock full of Dave Matthews trivia or something.  And contrary to what folks at the NAACP have claimed, it was not solely a written exam. There was also an oral portion (weighted at 40%) that involved a group of 30 assessors, the majority of whom weren't white.  And the ongoing infantilization of the black community by the NAACP is an entirely different tangent that I won't continue now (but will gladly address in the comments if someone else wants to).

Bottom line, many occupations utilize written examinations when evaluating individuals.  Sometimes you have to.  It's the only way to incorporate some kind of objective way to draw a distinction between candidates who appear to be equally qualified in terms of peer review, oral examination, and overall experience.  Throwing out the tests after the results come in  -- does everyone a disservice (particularly minority groups). You either re-test or you adjust future tests.  Instead, New Haven (and subsequently the District and Second Circuit Appellate courts) made a fuckin' mess of it all for political reasons. 

Of course, that's just one asshole's opinion.  What's yours?

Oh...What The Hell

Cmalex

I'm gonna go ahead and start a new feature called "Things I would write on Facebook if I wasn't remotely concerned about alienating half the people I know." My Facebook home page quite often reads like the Benoit thread which in theory should make it a completely fulfilling experience but unlike that thread, I actually know these people and even consider many of them friends. According to FB, they're all my friends so this little relationship tends to make me cease pulling the trigger on what many people that lack an appropriate sense of humor would consider assholish comments. I don't really need people taking anything I type with anything more than a grain of salt so thankfully I have this blog and even more thankfully I'm not exactly "read my blog guy" so 99% of the people I know have no idea it exists. So for a goof, I'm just going to respond to them here in almost complete anonymity. If we're lucky maybe a Klompus or Assman will follow suit because let's face it, when it comes to being assholes, I'm swimming in their wake.

First of all, to like half of my friends...Not only do I go outside on a regular basis but I also own a house with about 16 windows. While I appreciate the updates, I understand that it's been raining a lot in the northeast lately but there really are few things more mundane in this world than people complaining about the weather. It may be the most tired exercise one can partake in. Please just stop.

Disclaimer: I started writing this almost a week ago in a hotel in Hershey, PA and had it saved as a draft and then got sidetracked by MJ dying and I came back to it this morning with a different point of view. While I think it would make for great blog material, something about it seems shady. I don't want to be that guy. If I want to make fun of people I know, I'll just keep doing it right in front of them. If they can't take, maybe we shouldn't be friends in the first place. For the hell of it, I'll throw in a quick vacation story after the jump though.

NBA Draft 2009... in 2009!

Yes, this is about the NBA Draft. No, I'm not offering excuses other than the one I gave last year. (Technically, it was the year before that.) Yes, I'm aware that you're probably not going to follow those links. No, I'm not worried that, if you do, you'll be able to tell me about all the stuff I guessed wrong. I already know I'm an idiot.

This year, I've stepped the game up a little bit. Instead of watching the game in my personal padlocked grotto, drinking beer furiously and eating entire pizzas between picks 9 and 12, I'm watching the draft with some folks from the Phoenix Suns at their NBA Draft Party.

More accurately? I'm watching the draft at Dave & Busters with some PR folks from the Suns and a few contest winners. I'm not the type of guy that gets invited to fancy soirees. And I'm only getting in because I was invited as a guest of the guy from the Cut Goran Dragic blog.

So Apparently Michael Jackson Died

I heard about this today at an amusement park near Philadelphia and it actually didn't phase me too much at all. I was busy and didn't really feel like reflecting on it but after hearing many opinions I've come to the conclusion that I sort of care. I saw Al Sharpton on TV tonight bitching about the people who abandoned him and how they don't have the right to come out now and talk about the impact he had on the entertainment world but as every thing that comes out of that guy's mouth is shit...so was that.

I just turned 38 years old which means that I remember a time when Michael Jackson was a cool person. Like most people, I evolved and came to the conclusion later in life that he's a bit of a freak and possibly a criminal and just sort of brushed him off. It didn't make me sad to see what he had become. I didn't feel it necessary to condemn him or to defend him or to explore in any way, shape, or form why this had happened to a guy that was probably the most famous person of his entire generation. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not really ashamed to say that there was a time when I admired the living crap out of Michael Jackson despite the fact that I've viewed him as a complete freak for the past 15 or so years. These two things do not have to be mutually exclusive despite what that piece of shit wants to believe. What I'll remember about him really has nothing to do with him.

I remember the day that Elvis died. I was in the first grade and my mother was extremely upset but I couldn't understand why. He was that fat sweaty mess in the jumpsuit. Since then I've learned a lot about who Elvis was and I came to understand why my mom was so upset that day. I spent the night tonight trying to explain to my six year old why her mother was upset today (it's much easier with the benefit of youtube). I suspect she'll get it someday as well.

I don't know shit about Michael Jackson. What I know is that every time I hear I Wanna Rock With You I think about being a 3rd grader trying not to crack my skull open at the roller skating rink while people flew by me making it look so easy. When I hear Beat It I laugh a little because I remember thinking about how my best friend's parent's were so much cooler than mine because they bought him that stupid red leather zipper jacket. Now I realize that my parents didn't buy it for me because they were the cool ones. When I hear Human Nature, I think about standing in line at Our Lady of Grace Feast with Laura Fenucci waiting for our doughboys. When I hear Thriller, I remember being so pissed off at the world for being one of the last people that didn't have cable and having everyone talk about that video constantly while having to sit there and keep bringing up the latest episode of the Baseball Bunch. When I hear The Way You Make Me Feel I remember being downstairs on my couch making out with my "girlfriend" while my parents were having a dinner party upstairs in the dining room about 30 feet away and thinking I was pulling one over on them. When I hear Remember the Time, I remember the time we actually made sure we scored some beers at URI that night because his new video was debuting on that new kick-ass FOX station that night.

The point is that people can say whatever the hell they want about Michael Jackson and sure people die every day and certainly many people in more honorable ways than he did, but tonight I'll chose to remember him fondly because there were a few years years there where I thought he was simply the coolest human being on this planet. If you were born around the same time that I was, there's a good chance that you did too.

Way Behind?

I'm just now crawling out from under the rock I've been living under, so maybe I'm way behind on this, but just catching up on this Sanford/Argentina story. So, while catching up I see this clip and I'm wondering thoughts on what's going on with those two girls in the background and how you feel things are going for them back at whatever office?

Also, did you read some of those e-mails? Was dining with some super cool like 70-year old chick last night who went to the prom with Herbie Hancock and she was killing me going on about "how that Argentinian thing has that Sanford guy wide open."

How does the guy go home to his wife and kids?

The axe man cometh?

Is this a case of Joltin' Joe Girardi legitimately getting pissed off because his team has been sucking ass lately or did he finally realize that his "deer in headlights" routine was not gonna work anymore?

Girardi

I'm nowhere near a Yankees fan, but I love how most in the baseball media (see: ESPN, NY Post, mlb.com) are eating this latest ejection up as a reason that the Yankees and their gazillion dollar asses turned it around last night. In reality, it's probably because the pitcher they faced for the Braves has a problem harnessing his Adrenaline in and felt that running a half marathon in 90+ degree heat/90% humidity before pitching was a good idea. That and they're the billion dollar wonders who decided to show up. Take your pick.

All in all, what are the odds on Joe G. getting the axe by the All-Star break? And how often does B Cash fellate the Boss in order for him to still have a job? I just have a feeling that if this were Billy Martin he would have been fired/rehired/fired again by now.

This shit is kinda fucked up, but not like the previous fucked up shit

I'm going to tell a short story about the secret downside to getting a hummer from a woman you meet at a bar, in an effort to perk this place back up. (No offense Mr. Kruger, that kid getting the hell out of the way of that car was pretty sweet. But it was Turkey, and the only kind I like is the shit that puts me to sleep while watching the Lions).

I witnessed a friend of mine a few days ago just go out and get unrecognizably shitfaced. He had good reason to. His old lady dumped him for another guy and he found out by virtue of a wayward, empty 3-pack of Magnum condoms on top of the trash and I when he told me that, after I spit Bell's Oberon all over me, I half expected him to say he then answered the door to find a permed dude saying, "I'm here for the gang bang?"

Todd_phillips_gangbang

Anyway, my friend, prior to dating this whore woman, could pull the wool. I was his wing man quite often, and I refined my skills of deflecting fat satellite wiffle pigs away from him while he liquid narcolepsy-ed his way into yet another pair of panties.

In light of his recent relationship failures, he thought he'd like to grudge fuck his way through it by running roughshod over a skank or two. Needless to say, I was down.

After a few hours and 10 shots at the bar, this cat has whittled his prey down to one, and she had one friend that took an obvious interest in me, presumably because I have all my teeth and don't quote Larry The Cable Guy as part of my repertoire. Easy pickins for ol' buddy then. He managed to get plastered with her, convince her to go home with him and most assuredly, poured the coal to her like the ghost of the Edmund Fitzgerald would to Cleveland after a long, long wait.

(Side Note for those that care: I did not get laid. I was somewhat sober and despite enduring my longest drought in recent history, was not about to do anything with that "Tales From The Crypt" beast.)

(The following is based on his side of the story and might be bullshit): This woman was a freak and when they returned to his place, she immediately tore off his pants and started in with a sloppy BJ. However, in the middle of it, she passed out while he, uhh...continued in a "sleep creep" kind of way, finished, wiped the "residue" with her shirt and passed out himself.

When he woke up, he noticed that she was gross and there was piss all over his bed, and he freaked out, yelled at her for pissing his bed and told her to get the fuck out of his house.

She claimed that she didn't piss the bed, that he had to have done it himself, to which he wanted no part of that excuse, threw her "stained" shirt at her and threw her out.

And now he was calling me, wondering what happened. I'll tell you what happened. I pissed myself from laughing so hard, that's what happened. He admits he did it himself but was afraid of that awkward morning after stuff. But he wasn't afraid of that awkward "I think I'll hump her mouth for a bit because it's, well, there" stuff. Hmm.

The question I am asking though is, "Is that shit even worth it? Is getting back at your ex so necessary that you'll defile your mattress after picking up some poor hefty bag of a woman and abusing her so?"

I say no. But what do I know? Certianly not any woman that would do such a thing (allegedly).

There was no point to this story other than to just say that my friend is rethinking his ways of retaliation to include things like "moving on" and not buying a bag of flour to throw on his fat ass and some other poor voluptuous beast in order to find the wet spot. That and this post did not mention one thing about Manny Ramirez, the POTUS and cock pills.

Until now.

...

Sorry, I wrote like 6 titles and I can't come up with anything that doesn't make me seem like a douche for posting this but ultimately it's a pretty amazing piece of video and I think an important one. It is however very graphic so do not hit play if you have a hard time handling that type of thing.

Her name was Neda and she was out walking in the streets of Iran with her dad. I'm not sure if they were actively protesting or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some people are calling her a martyr which of course is absurd and others are calling her the face of a revolution. All I know is that I can't stop watching it and I have no idea what that says about me. That helpless look in her eyes when she stares at the camera while haunting is almost addictive. It makes you realize how lucky you are not to be living in a country experiencing a bloody revolution while at the same time wishing you could have been there to stop such senseless fucking terror.

Sometimes there's just not enough scotch.

Why not waterboard the f**ker?

With regards to the Obama fly swat (click here because I haven't figured out how to imbed this shit yet):

View from the media left: "This cat's pretty good! Stupid ass flies trying to bring change to a halt! I think we will bend over again and blow him. *slurp*"

View from the media right (see: FOX): "Why is this guy giving us shit about Gitmo torture? That poor fly didn't do shit to him. I think I'll do a segment on how I felt on 9/12."

View from PETA: "How dare you swat an air kitten! Where is Eva Mendes to show her nice ass in protest?"

View from Whatley, currently on vacation: "Who gives a shit about a damn fly? I have a hotel stationary bike giving me a fuckin' colonoscopy. Who approves these hotel reviews anyway? Fitness center my ass. Wilbur Wright's exercise bike and a treadmill used on the set of On Golden Pond is not a 'Fitness Center'"

That is all.

The Future Star Falcon QB or Just a Misguided Adolescent Phase


I might as well as throw one in the pot while the roll is still on regardless of how inconsequential this is- it seems to fit in the AofG strain.  I guess the obvious question is what do you do if this is the kid next door?  Say he asks he asks your daughter out to the prom?  I mean, cutting the face off someones pet isn't something most kids have the stomach for.  This, no doubt, goes a bit beyond the usual hapless creature/bored youngster scenario. 

Which reminds me: Once upon a time a band called KISS came out with their Love Gun album so a bunch of us kids went on a neighborhood rampage against the toad/frog invasion in our block.  A lot of construction + a lot of rain= a lot of big puddles= a lot of frogs + summer vacation + boredom + 10-12 youngsters= frog rampage.  We killed dozens of them with rocks, bikes, bats, and fire crackers in the ass and mouth.  It was like the RI Rwanda for frogs except it only lasted for an afternoon then it got boring and we went back to smashing each other in the face and pissing all over the backhoes.      

So that has nothing to do with kitty killer, football, or your daughters but I can assure you I have yet to repeat that behavior.  The closest I came was getting way too drunk one night at a party and swallowing the host's kid's gold fish then trying to throw it up back into the bowl alive.  Turns out the kid didn't like that fish anyway.

It Ain't So, My Ass

Breaking news! Breaking News! Even though I'm positive (future pun intended) that this news can be filed under, "Things only those in Bumblefuck, Georgia never once thought".

Sammy-sosa-kiss

Here is a (faux) press release from "Doctor Salve" Sammy Sosa himself,as I heard it while sucking back my twelth Yeungling:

"Yo nunca pensé que yo jamás sería agarrado. Especialmente desde que yo pensé que mi impresión de Garret Morris tiraría esos assholes en Congreso para un lazo. ¿Significo, ellos joden lookin mediocre' internos o disfrutan de solicitar sexo alegre en cuartos de baño de aeropuerto, así que por qué se preocuparían ellos por mí? Cualquier.

Mire a personas de béisbol. Llevé todos sus asnos durante años porque podría aplastar con palmeta a Homers fuera de Wrigley como un no queso de asno de estrella de taponazo de talento golpea un Bajan no incompetente de música pop de talento con tetas grandes. Si usted consiguió un problema con eso, tómelo con McGwire. Usted verá 6 pie cuatro, ahora 180 libras de él assed rojo en un campo de golf de California que evita todos quiere la peste.

De otra manera que eso, los jode."

Loosely translated...

Sosa congress

"I never thought that I'd ever get caught. Especially since I thought my Garret Morris impression would throw those assholes in Congress for a loop. I mean, they fuck mediocre lookin' interns or enjoy soliciting gay sex in airport bathrooms, so why would they worry about me? Whatever.

Look baseball people. I carried all your asses for years because I could swat homers out of Wrigley like a no talent pop star ass cheese hits a Bajan no talent pop music hack with big tits. If you got a problem with that, take it up with McGwire. You'll see all 6 foot four, now 180 pounds of him red assed on a California golf course avoiding everyone like the plague.

Other than that, fuck you all."

******************************************************

Seriously. Was/is there anyone in baseball NOT on the juice (David Eckstein...I'm looking at you)? And with the shrinking testicle epidemic now enhancing its stronghold on baseball, do they really need to wear jock straps anymore? Bastards.

Like, OMG! There's like no more sharks and stuff.

Alba10 

Proving once again she's more than just a pretty piece of ass, Jessica Alba has taken to the streets to promote her radical cause du jour --- the preservation of sharks.  If you read that link, you'd see that "the streets" is downtown Oklahoma City.  You know, because OK City was once a thriving environment for sharks.  But then the poachers, petroleum companies, vitamin companies, and Asian fisherman came to The Sooner State and changed all that.  What's even funnier about this is an interview Miss Alba did years ago after filming Into the Blue:

Q. Did you touch the sharks?

Alba: No, sharks are pretty terrifying animals and they're not very bright. Also they're pretty much blind. They don't see the difference between you and a fish, which is why so many people get attacked. I did hit a couple of them to push them out of the way because they're dumb. I never wanted them to mistake me for a fish. So if they even came within arms length, I wasn't thinking, "Oh they're just going to swim right by," I was feeling, "Get away." I was just like constantly pushing them away from me.

No sharks were available for comment, but I'm pretty sure they laughed when they were told Jessica Alba called them dumb.  Yeah they can't see and they have no fingers, but these fuckers seem to know how to handle themselves on their own. I mean, they've only got 400 million years of existence as proof.

What we should be worrying about is that an interviewer actually asked Jessica Alba if she researched sharks. 

Oh Yeah...They're Dead

Iran

No, I'm just kidding. I mean, I hope not. I suppose it's entirely possible but as far as insane, evil dictators go, I'm not so sure Ahmadinejad is all he's cracked up to be. If you think Mugabe or Il would allow for any of this silly post-election rigging uprising you're nuts. Hell, it may have even happened here nine years ago and The Backyard Brawl produced more riots that year. We all just got confused and embarassed.

If you're trying to keep up with the events in Iran, the Ayatollah has urged the natives to bow down to Ahmadinejad while the Guardian Council has called for an investigation and a recount. Of course a recount by the same people will probably produce the same results, so now Mousavi supporters just want to do the whole damn thing over again. This probably doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot to you xenophobic assholes but it's apparently like the biggest story of the year so I figured I'd take a trip out to Iran to report to you the latest. I'll check back in later if I don't get killed.

When the hell did Iranian women get so hot anyway? Hang on a second...could it be?

I'm Here To Play the Dolphins, Dumb Ass

Brett favre sam

As if we haven't read about this asscrack enough...

After 18 seasons of playing arguably the toughest position to play in any sport, and, of course, routinely beating the steroid-laden piss out of my Detroit Lions, Brett Favre finally has my undivided attention.

Of course, he is always on everyone's radar since ESPN won't shut the fuck up about the guy. In fact, I am pretty sure that Mel Kiper just had several wads of John Clayton's man-protein shot into his hair during the circle jerk known as "this just in...Brett Favre laid a Topeka Stink Pickle in his shitter." But that is not what intrigues me about this Brett Favre cat. Oh no.

The crux of my fascination lies in one simple question:

Does Brett Favre have the ability to make a decision that does not involve throwing to his check-down receiver?

Seriously. How does Brett Favre live on a day to day basis? I imagine him sitting in his car every morning deciding whether or not he wants to start it, a la Cameron Frye in "Ferris Buellers Day Off" only asking himself, "Do I go to the Piggly Wiggly or not?"

Cameronfrye

I imagine his proposal to his wife was a jumbling mixture of grunting and wheezing for hours until Deanna said, "Way to make me feel like a lady, Brett. I'm sure if I had the name 'Sharpe' on the back of my bra you'd have no problem shouting the fuckin' words out, you hillbilly. But, you're rich...so...yes."

Some more questions regarding his inability to make a call.

Do car salesmen hide when they see him coming?
Does his financial advisor click the send to voicemail button when he calls in?
Do his kids age rapidly when they ask him to decide on Six Flags or Cedar Point for vacation?

Will the Vikings give him his own boat with his own strippers gently placing (see: ramming) objects betwixt their mudflaps?
Do fat Packer fans really drink shot glasses of Ranch Dressing?

That last one has no bearing on anything other than my fascination with all things Wisconsin.

Brett. Make the call on retirement or not already, so that we can all move on and ESPN can continue on with what their channel was intended for...

Reporting on Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Association. By the way, when is Game 5? In July? Fuck you D. Stern.

So What? So Let's Dance!

Dangerfield caddyshack

Alrighty folks...the doc is here. It's Friday, I was out golfing and little did I know that I'd be asked to jump right in the fray off the bat and throw down some words of ire about the stupid of America. But I do it well. At least I think so. Fuck if I know.

Seriously, I'm thrilled for the invite to be a part of the genius that is the AofG. I don't mean to further fellate the mainstays on here, but I have some big shoes to fill. I've read the "cherry popper post" of those listed and holy hell...good stuff. I hail from the armpit of the United States, the great State of Michigan. I am divorced, broke and sloppy, and after you get used to reading my stuff, you'll either a). understand why I am divorced AND broke or b). want to hook me up with your fat, gelatinous step-sister who claims to have bad luck with men because "she just chooses the wrong guy". Sure, Slim. Put...the donut...down.

In some sense, I hope that I can come across more like a Mike Piazza, an underrated draft pick who rose to Hall of Fame status and is NOT gay (allegedly), and not like that current turd for the Orioles Matt Wieters, all hype and a whopping .194 average, who probably isn't gay either, but, c'mon...a .194 average Mr. #1? I can do that swinging a purse, pal...which I suggest you do since you'll connect a few more times.

Quick grievance here before I have to get back to my daily routine of smiling and dealing with Neanderthals, aka "clients". I'll stick with major league baseball.

What is the rush of the Big League clubs bringing up their top drafted folks from the year before already? I understand that there is a ton of money invested in these kids to play for said organizations, but the whole point of the minor league system is to "season" these kids and transition from Aluminum rocket launchers to wood bats while facing helluva lot better pitching than they faced against meatball hurlers from Saint Hobag of the ThighHigh Skirt High School in Soppypuss, Missouri.

So, what do douchebag organizations like the Orioles and White Sox do? Bring them up against the likes of a Justin Verlander and watch them whiff their way through nine innings all the while cameras are focused on their parents wincing after an Uncle Charlie makes their kid look like a ballerina smuggling grape nuts. Yeah, that instills confidence. All at the price of selling a few more seats, I guess. Then again, look at the two organizations I've mentioned that have done this. The O's and White Sox. The O's have ownership that has long resembled the monkeys eating pizza with Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School", and the White Sox cater to a fan base collectively have fourteen teeth and whose homes are on wheels and contain enough Anhydrous Ammonia to make Gary, Indiana a virtual shit hole...wait...heh.

Point being, you don't see the top dogs in the Bigs doing this, not to my recollection anyway. Even if they did, well, I hate the Orioles and White Sox, so just ride along with me here. Also, let me remind the great folks of Major League baseball this: There was only one Al Kaline. He could flat out play from the time he popped out o' his momma.

I think that's all I got. Now if you excuse me, I'm expected at a Cougar Convention tonight to celebrate the best music, videos and unprotected sex that the 80's had to offer. What's the over/under I manage to shag a 40 year old with a tattoo of what once was a flower on her back but now looks like a WalMart shower curtain laced with back fat and sweat?

My Magic 8 Ball says, "it is certain". I like my odds.

Is There A Doctor In The House?

Tim Whatley

First a quick grievance for my man Joe Girardi. Joe, the next time your biggest rival decides to blast your star player in the back with high heat and makes it look so obvious that the umpires have no choice but to deem that it was on purpose thereby giving both team’s warnings so that you’re unable to retaliate against their star player, instead of sitting there in the dugout looking like a deer in headlights while the manager of the other team storms out acting like the indignant asshole who just got fucked while the retarded fan base buys right fucking into it…try acting like you give a shit. Okay?

Well as some of you may have noticed, it’s been a little slow around here as we’re in one of those perfect storms of all of us being a little busy and maybe a little burnt out and this is too cool of a blog to produce one post a week so before we lose too much momentum and/or readers, we’ve asked for the help of AofG legendary reader and commenter, Dr. Whatley. Whatley will undoubtedly be a fine addition but even if he sucks, we’re not paying him anything so it’s a win-win. Now sit back in anticipation for the doctor to arrive.

For a little trip down memory lane, here’s a collection of literary masterpieces otherwise known as “everyone else’s virgin post.” (Can’t find Chiles’)

The Voice of Reason

Ashton

You may have heard about the two American reporters that were caught and arrested and sentenced to 12 years in labor prison by North Korea? Pretty scary shit of course but just in case you haven't had the time or the inclination to go ahead and form your own opinion on it, that mega-douche you see pictured above is here to help. Tweeteth the Kutcher...

"This should be a national crisis... We have to demand that something be done."

Well, "national crisis" certainly seems like unnecessary hyperbole and while these girls should not be without empathy, I'm not really sure who we're supposed to be making these demands to. I mean, there's a lot of bad shit going on the world right now. People are busy. What can really be done?

"I say it’s special ops time… If we can save that Captain (Capt. Richard Phillips) from (Somalian) pirates, we can save these journalist (sic)."

Oh, fuck me. Yes, let's send John Rambo to North Korea to start kicking ass and taking names. Have we really learned nothing from this past decade or so? This asshole probably spent the last year campaigning like hell for the current POTUS promoting a platform of diplomacy and now two American citizens get fucked by the laws of a sovereign nation and your first thought is to go all AK-47 on them? That's just brilliant. In the midst of two wars that are sending people home in body bags every day, let's go after an insane, old lesbian with nukes because of two people.

I got no funny punchlines. Just...fucking...wow.

My Cat's Breath Smells Like Cat Food.

Wiggum 

As a sort of reprisal of 'Shit that's suprising to nobody," Yahoo seems to have cornered the market this week.  More importantly, I needed to post something for the remaining 3 readers we have (including the posters).

No Shit #1: Adam Lambert is GAY!  How many times do we need to do this drill before the media realizes that it's only NEWS when a male American Idol contestant is STRAIGHT?  What, did the groomed eyebrows, Tammy Fay make-up and levitation not give it away? It's like a male figure skater announcing his gayness.  Or a cyclist. Or a New York Yankee infielder.  Dude, we fuckin' know already!

No Shit #2:  Mike Tyson is weird. Child just dies tragically.  Butttttttttt....weddings are 'spensive.  So let's party.  And to all those who say it was just a ceremony, they weren't partying....I ask, why go to Vegas, then?  On a side note, I had planned on using this spot for Phil Mickelson being "emotional" during his return to the PGA Tour following his wife's diagnosis with breast cancer, but I just couldn't.  That's a grievance for another day. And, I was torn between making breat jokes about a guy whose wife has breast cancer, and wondering if it qualified as irony (per Vandelay).

No Shit #3: "Fried" means "Submerged. In. Boiling. Oil. Yeah." Was there really anybody wondering if "Fried Macaroni and Cheese" wasn't fattening?  How about anyone wondering about unfried Mac-and-Cheese?  How about people going to eat at a restaurant named "The Cheescake Factory?"   Nice to see it took a certified nutritionist to write the article.  But, she is a Latina.  And they are known to be very wise.  Wiser than Dwight, anyway.

No Shit #4: The suspect of a holocaust museum shooting is a known anti-semite.  Shocker.  I thought a lot of people just really fuckin hate museums in general.  Then again, what do you expect?  These days, you can't even get "Hitler" iced onto your kid's birthday cake at the local grocery store without people getting all uppity and shit.

Hey Is That Dave Coulier?

So there's this thing on youtube called literal videos where someone takes a music video and dubs over it so that the lyrics describe exactly what's happening in the video. I have no idea if this is a new thing or everyone has been on this since 06 and I'm late to the party but it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's not like "98 retarded people defending a dead wrestler" funny or "not wanting to smell like a skunk=being afraid of a skunk" funny but more like "how come it never occurred to me how much LSD people were doing in the 80's" funny. This one might be my favorite...

More here, here, and here.

Canadians Are Weird, Bad-Ass

Gov Gen Michelle Jean

Okay, I don't really know how to approach this so I'll just come right out with it. Canada has something called a "Governor General" who apparently "represents" the Queen. That's her pictured above. Earlier this week, as a sign of solidarity for the beleagured seal hunters of the Arctic, this broad gutted a seal and sliced up it's heart and ate it.

There's not really much more to that. Frankly, I have no idea what the political issues there are surrounding seal hunting in Canada or why the seal hunters are beleagured or why anyone would even do that and I really don't feel like doing the research so maybe one of our Canadian readers can clear it up for us (okay...our only Canadian reader). That would probably help me figure out whether or not I think this woman is batshit insane or kind of awesome.

Alright Pennypacker...a nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.

Some Random Grievances

Prejean

I’m in one of these “sort of busy-sort of don’t feel like blogging” phases and I’m apparently not the only one. It must be something in the air. Anyway, here’s a bunch of quick thoughts on subjects and or grievances that I might have blogged about over the last couple weeks had I had the time or the inclination.

America – Really America? Really? This is “news”? This is a big deal to you? Some beauty queen doesn’t believe in gay marriage and we have to rake her through the coals? I mean, she’s not one of these assholes walking around the streets protesting proposition 8. They asked her a question and she answered it. More importantly, your own fucking president doesn’t believe in gay marriage!

Carrie Prejean – Really Carrie Prejean? Really? I completely understand you’re just some hot chick from California who answered a question with her honest opinion and then was unjustifiably dragged through the mud because of that opinion and I didn’t think you’d have to spend three weeks defending it. Don’t get me wrong, we suck…but you were raised with the belief that marriage is between a man and a woman? How does that even come up? Who actually gets raised with something like that being a cornerstone of your moral foundation? I can’t imagine a scenario where one of my parents approached me as a child to make sure I understood that marriage is between a man and a woman.

As far as I'm concerned, the Steelers would not be visiting me if I were not the President of the United States


It has been brought to my attention that the Pittsburgh Steelers plan on visiting me at the White House as an emphatic cap to a wonderful season that saw them win the Super Bowl on the backs of a solid young offense and a historically great defense. The team overcame the concerns of all of the so-called "experts" to win in spite of what was referred to as "a line so pitiful that Michael Irvin wouldn't even snort it" and a running game that couldn't gain an inch if it took Viagra. The team was very exciting to watch; trust me, although I love my Bears, if I had to name a second-favorite team it would certainly be the Pittsburgh Steelers. I loved watching them play....the way they attack on defense, the efficient passing of Ben Roethlisberger, the workman-like qualities of stalwart receiver Hines Ward, et cetera. And so you'd think that I would be honored to invite them to the White House to recognize and toast their accomplishments this past season.

But fuck that.

Where the fuck were the Steelers at when I was just a lowly US senator from Illinois? Or when I was a fucking law clerk after graduating from school? Huh? What, the Steelers weren't around in the 1980's? You pricks certainly could have came to visit me then...I had plenty of time in my schedule. Where were you dickbags? I forget a few things from that time period, you know, mainly due to all the coke and whatnot, but I'm almost 100% sure I would have remembered a visit from the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Or even the non-champion Pittsburgh Steelers. You don't think Mark Malone could have worked in a visit between interceptions? Or, who knows, maybe Barry Foster could have come and seen me after a backbreaking fumble or something? Tim McKyer probably could have blown right past my gate security like it was, oh, I don't know, Tim McKyer. But did any of these vagbaskets come to visit me then? Fuck and No.

So fuck that, man. If John McCain would have won the election, do you think that Steelers would be coming to visit him? As far as I'm concerned, yes...yes they would. I'd just be sitting here writing more memoirs about postcards from my fucking cousin or some shit like that. So fuck you, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you really wanted to come and hang out with me, you would have done it before I became the president of the motherfucking United States.

This Again

Arodmanny

I'm getting to the point where anytime someone comes off as even remotely exceptionally athletic and talented, I'll just have to assume they're cheating ("remotely exceptionally?"). I never wanted to be that guy but this is what it's come to. I mean the only redeeming qualities about those two cats were "at least they did things the right way." Pujols is juicing. There, I said it. The really sad part about this is when it's all said and done, we're gonna look back thinking we owe Bonds and Clemens apologies.

On another note, I'm not saying George Mitchell didn't do a very thorough job investigating the team that employed him, I'm just...wait a minute...that's exactly what I'm saying.

Who Needs Wii Rock Band

This 4-year old doesn't, anyway.  I was expecting Animal from the Muppets before I started watching this.  He got skills.  In true Jackie Chiles fashion, that is all.

I Should Just Start a New Blog

LilBoosie


Weird rap lyrics seem to be the only thing I've been posting recently. I might just have to start another blog dedicated solely to that matter...despite the fact that I don't really like single-subject sites.

Regardless, the latest culprit is horrible (I mean really fucking horrible) rapper Lil' Boosie, who "blesses" a Young Jeezy track in the same way that a priest blesses an eleven year old boy. From Young Jeezy's "Everything":

you can't see me when with a magnifying glass
two hundread on the dash
trys some gangs i bust your ass nigga
whole clique iphones
nigga get your shine on

Wait...what? Has it come to that, rappers? Seriously? Bragging that your entire clique has an iPhone? You have to be joking. Ok, Lambos, bling and cribs I can understand. Guns...ok. Fine. Guns are ok, too. But fucking iPhones? Who doesn't have an iPhone that wants one? Even homeless people are downloading Avril Lavigne songs from iTunes these days. You can probably get one for under $100 on eBay. And that's something you're bragging about? You've fallen off, rap. Really. I'm embarrassed.

But, I'm here to help. Some more things you can brag about that might be a tad more impressive than iPhones:


"Yo, me and my dogs all got wireless internet"

"Mothafucka, I saved like two hundred switchin' to Geico"

"You should see my whip, I've got nitrogen in the tires as opposed to regular air"

"Yo, my whole clique in the IN Network and get unlimited texts"

"Fuck Porsches, my crib's got two porches...and I got a farm in the back that's got two horses"

"My pencil eraser clicks, that's a mechanical pencil"

"Son, I do my taxes on a TI-83 calc...that shit graphs, yo"

"My rims shiny, I cleaned them myself with Armor All wheel cleaner"

"I get on the plane first, I fly business select...it comes with a free drink voucher, i get a Bud Select"

"My grass is tight, I cut that shit with a Lawn Boy"

"Fuck five-dollar footlongs, I'm getting the steak sub"

"XBox Live Silver? Nah, I got XBox Live GOLD"


If you rappers need anything else, feel free to get at me, dogs.

Rondo is Killing the Bulls!

Rajon-rondo

I seem to recall a time when you'd see the occasional sports-themed discussion on this site.

(You'd also see the occasional post by me. My bad on that.)

Looking for input. It was late in the game. Should they have called the flagrant?

More Strange Rapping

Camron

I know...I seem to have a bit of a semi for targeting rappers in my grievances. To which I respond, hey, at least I'm making a post that is an actual "grievance" as opposed to a picture-play involving Vandelay singing Manilow tunes to his cat. So rappers are easy targets...whatever. I'm not a very deep or profound individual. I'll take the low-hanging fruit. At least it's healthy.

On my way into work today, I was listening to some Cam'Ron just in case I needed to get fired up for a drive-by while I was going down 95. You never know, right? So I'm listening to "Leave Me Alone Pt. II" from his platinum CD, "Guns, Drugs, and Penetration" or whatever the hell it was called. Well, it's getting gangster, you know, typical Cam'Ron "Yo, I got guns and stuff, sons and stuff, you dumb or what, my winter hat come with muffs" type meaningless rapid-rhymey lyrics. And then I hear this:

You GS3? I'm GS4
You in a Lexus, I'm Gulfstream four
Up in the sky on the Gulfstream tour
You want beef? We'll start a Gulfstream war
Lay ya ass down on God's Green Floor
We playin' Golf in the Gulf Of New Mexico


What? You are playing golf in the Gulf of NEW Mexico? Do you own a fucking map? Does Cam'Ron really think that there is both a Gulf of Mexico and a Gulf of New Mexico, or that New Mexico touches the Gulf of Mexico, or that New Mexico is its own country, or that there is a golf course somewhere in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico? I was so lost that I wrecked my car and died on the spot. I seriously just drove into the median at 85 mph out of confusion. After being resuscitated by the paramedics, I told them exactly what I had heard and they had the same perplexed look on their face...collectively, we just could not figure it out.

There can't be another reason. Nothing else makes sense. I mean...it's not even a play on words. Those have to make some sense, no? And it's not like he just slipped...you get to write this stuff down first. Trust me, I know. And if you f it up, you can just redo that part. I mean...if this is your job, and you make Turkish billions of dollars doing it, don't you think you would re-record that or someone would at least tell you, "yo...dog...what the f are you talking about there?". I can't figure it out.

Either way, my next song is going to talk about drinkin' Cristal at the Rocky Maivia of Gibraltar.

Regarding This Markoff Cat

Phil_megan

I suspect that this whole Craigslist Killer story is simply the latest case of “local news story that becomes huge national story because it involves pretty white girls being murdered, robbed, beaten, and betrayed” which is always fun for the media but this one could actually serve a higher purpose. The fiancé is probably taking a little heat for her stance but despite her insistence that Phil isn’t capable of such a thing, I think the fact that she hasn’t visited him in jail is a sign that she wants to get as far away from this mess as quickly as possible. Throwing him under the bus would just put her even further under the spotlight. I mean…the witnesses, the underwear thing, the bullets matching his gun…it’s all a little too clear even for Megan to miss.

Now let me just climb up on my high horse for a second. I suspect this isn’t the first time that someone has been murdered as a result of meeting with a person they don’t know through an internet service. The popularity of the story is surely directly related to the cuteness of the victim and that’s fine because maybe it will make people stop meeting with total strangers. I got married 10 years ago so I missed out on this whole “internet hook-up” thing but I’ve been told it’s all the rage these days. As I understand it, there are sites where people can just pick someone to have sex with and then meet them on the street and go to someone’s apartment and BAM! The entire courting process has been reduced to creating a profile on a website.

So after being told our whole lives to be leery of strangers, millions and millions of people are putting themselves in situations where they could potentially be victimized because they’re lonely? It doesn’t make sense, people. I’m a guy and I would never do that. I once went to some dude's house to buy Barry Manilow tickets he had advertised on Craigslist and spent the whole time with my fists clenched waiting for some maniac to jump out of the bushes at me with machete in hand.

Ultimately, maybe the handsome and charming medical student that turned out to be Patrick Bateman can serve as a lesson to us all.

Hey Rappers...


...would you please shut the fuck up about running the streets already? You don't run the streets. You just rhyme about crack. Every city has streets that are claimed to be ran by the rappers of that city, like the people that actually do run the streets sit around and wait for 50 Cent's next CD to drop before they strip your Elantra. That's not the case. YOU DO NOT "RUN THE STREETS", RAPPERS...I don't even know what that means, but you don't do it. Stop yelling at your audience of 16-year old white girls that you are running streets.

Why is this phenomenon simply limited to rap music? No other genres have this problem. Soundgarden doesn't drop their guitars and yell about how they run the underground grunge clubs of Seattle. Celine Dion doesn't sing about how nothing happens in the Canadian Prairies until she says so. But why? It obviously works for rappers, and these other musicians are just missing out on an opportunity to gain some more ground on the rap scene.

So listen up, Tim McGraw...at your next concert, perform "Don't Take The Girl" or something and then just smash your guitar and yell at the people in attendance with "I FUCKING RUN THESE FARMS!!!!", and just sit there and stare at them until they start to cheer. "AIN'T SHIT HAPPEN ON THESE FARMS WITHOUT ME!!!!". I'm telling you, Tim, the crowd will go wild. And before long, you WILL run these fucking farms. Trust me.

Interesting Dichotomy

I can't figure out if this is cute or the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life...

Okay, since I didn't say too much there I'd like to add that Marley and Me is the worst movie ever made. It's about two people that get married and buy a yellow lab from a breeder. It ends up being the worst dog you could possibly have. It doesn't listen to anyone, it has no humility or remorse, it destroys everything, it jeopardizes the safety of the children, it gets them in trouble constantly, and it basically shows nothing but a complete lack of gratitude for the people that chose to give it a home for the whole movie. Then he dies. After living a full life where it got away with whatever it wanted, he dies. That's it. That's the movie. They got a bad dog and put up with it's bullshit for like 14 years and then it died. Seriously...how the fuck did someone sell that as an actual movie plot? At least Old Yeller was kind of a bad ass and saved the children's lives and died from doing something noble. The only redeeming qualities that Owen Wilson came up with in the epic speech about this dog was that it ate an answering machine and it slept on the baby's floor for a whole night when he was sick...once. Then the selfish animal dies. Wah!

I'll let everyone in on a secret. If you're going to get a dog...just get a greyhound. Trust me on this one.

Thug Life Washington-Style

Download Olc bybee



So I’m perusing through this torture memo thingy that probably everyone in the entire world now has saved to their desktop and I’m thinking I’m going to be wincing and fidgeting my way through it reading about folks getting their knee caps pulverized with block mallets or getting their eyelids set on fire or some such thuggery. Instead, I’m laughing my ass off reading this memo by some bureaucratic dickwad lawyer trying explain to some other dickwad how he can, and can not, make Zubby the Asshole Terrorist wish he’d never been born. Seriously, this part reads like an SNL skit.

"You would like to place Zubaydah in a cramped confinement box with an insect. You have informed us that he appears to have a fear of insects. (...) As we understand it, you plan to inform Zubaydah that you are going to place a stinging insect into the box, but you will actually place a harmless insect in the box, such as a caterpillar. If you do so, to ensure you are outside the predicate death requirement, you must inform him that the insects will not have a sting that would produce death or severe pain. If, however, you were to place the insect in the box without informing him that you are doing so, you should not affirmatively lead him to believe that any insect is present which has a sting that could produce severe pain or suffering or even cause his death."

Now, when I think of torture I think of the movie “Casino”. I think of the scene where they have the guy’s head in a vice and they’re cranking down cranking and cranking until BLAP his eye comes flying out. That’s some cold ass torture (see video). Placing a dude in a box with a caterpillar (or how about a ladybug- that should get him singing like a bird) is not torture. Tying rats to his face is. Pouring high fructose corn syrup on his balls and tossing a thousand hungry army ants in the box with him is also. One stupid little bug in a box is not. Why bother, really. Hey Zubb, here’s what you do. When they drop bug in there with you smash it right away with your fist. “Oh goddamn it!! He did it again! Go get me another fucking bug! Son of a Bitch!”

Teabaggers, Teaparties and Limbo the Limptard


The teabag, dare I say, "movement", is coming to a city hall near you and it's all about sending the Whitehouse teabags to make a statement that real Americans aren't putting up with this economy fixin', foreign relations mendin', tax break givin', pirate bustin' bullshit anymore.

.....and it's no surprise Fox news has a lock on this tax day teabag foolishness which will probably lead all their shows for the rest of Obama's first term.  The idea dates back to 1773 when a bunch of bombed-up and pissed-off Massholes raided a British cargo ship carrying tea and threw it all in harbor because that's the kind of crap angry mobs like to pull- it's fun to fuck shit up.   Beyond that it was a pretty insignificant event other than the fact that it gave the British a good bead on who the trouble-makers were.  The notion that it sparked the American Revolution is assinine but we'll forego the history lesson and skip to tax day 2009 where you have a thousands of dim-witted knuckleheads screaming and crying about taxes at the same time they're all getting a tax cut!  OK, so that doesn't make much sense so what about SOCIALISM!   Obama is a socialist and he's trying to SOCIALIZE America!  And he's doing it by propping up the largest and most indiscreet capitalist institutions known to mankind!  OK, so that doesn't make much sense either.  What about FACISM!  Obama is a Fascist because he... because... well because he just is!! Teabag against the fascist black president before he takes away our guns and gives them to the illegals.  Well, the illegals already have our guns- remember we sold them whatever they wanted as long as they paid in cash? 

If there is anyone out there who can lend some insight into how this teabag thing might have a shred logic to it please indulge us.  In the meantime, enjoy the comedy.

News Flash: Rush Limbaugh is turning into a lib-tard! They were kids. The story is out, I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently the hijackers, these kids, the merchant marine organizers, Muslim kids, were upset, they wanted to just give the captain back and head home because they were running out of food, they were running out of fuel, they were surrounded by all these US Navy ships, big ships, and they just wanted out of there. That's the story, but then when one of them put a gun to the back of the captain, Mr. Phillips, then bam, bam, bam. There you have it, and three teenagers shot on the high seas at the order of President Obama.

"Bone Dry: The Ellen McGee Story"

Mohinder-narrator-heroes

They appeared to be your average American couple. Ellen and Gerald "Rimshot" McGee had been married for 7 years and according to their neighbors in the tiny hamlet of Providence, Rhode Island, they had about as close to a perfect marriage as you can reasonably expect in a world full of taxpayer bailouts and Somali pirates. But, perhaps their marriage was too perfect.

We are about to embark upon a tale so disturbing, so unexpected, and so dry...so dry that it will immediately make you gayer than a male hairdresser chugging a jizz slurpee. Tonight, we present to you..."Bone Dry: The Ellen McGee Story".

Tax Day 2009: Having Your Shit Pushed In

Shitpushed 

Per usual, I like to go on my tax rant on or around April 15.  This year will be a little different, though.  With all the tea bag "protests" going on, I feel the need to focus on a tax I find particularly appalling.  More on that in a minute.  As for the tea parties that dominated the news yesterday -- those are only about politics.  Most protests are.  Which goes back to why I have little respect for most protests and protestors (of course there are a few historically relevant exceptions).  They're just planned presentations of "all-talk, no-action."  If you truly want to protest taxes -- how about not paying them?  Put your money where your mouth is.  Rosa Parks didn't just hold a sign saying she didn't like having to give up her seat to Dwight (and for those who are about to ask if I'm really comparing tea parties to the Civil Rights Movement -- yes, I am.  Way to go, you nailed it.  I think they are exactly the same.  You retard).

Rap Lines That Perplex Me


Ok, that photo is kind of disingenuous, since the rapper in question is not Young Joc but instead a guy featured on a Young Joc CD, or as they like to call half-assed attempts at CDs on the streets, a "mixtape". On this mixtape is a song called Powerful Drawz, and it is just as deep and profound as the title indicates. I have no sound at work, so I can just assume that this is the correct song. I guess the guy who is responsible for this lyric goes by "Luney Tunez"...I don't know if it is one guy or more than one guy or some giraffes or what, but whatever. In the first verse, he comes hard with this firey line:

"'Cause where I'm from a nigga hate having dry sex."


Oh yeah? That's insane. Where are you from, dog? Earth? I'm so shocked. Are you telling me that this is why KY has been such a huge success and "Mama Rubio's Mojave Desert Sand-balm" just never quite took off? I just never made the connection. Wow. Luney Tunez, thanks for the insight.

The song goes on to record the following lyrics:


"In my hood, my niggas prefer homes with central air-conditioning."

"Where I'm from, we hate being hit by motor vehicles."

"Dog, in my streets, we prefered not to be exposed to deadly chlorine gas excursions."

"Homey, back in my part of town we used to hate paying taxes."

"Playa, in my neck of the woods a brother hate getting oral herpes."

"Yo, in my projects having your grandparents brutally killed by bears was a motherfucker."

"Yo cousin, were you from where I'm from, you'd hate how gas prices seem to be much more volatile when the price of oil goes up as opposed to when it goes down."

"Sir, in my hometown, we didn't like waking up with the headaches usually associated with drinking large amounts of alcohol, such as your Olde English or Colt 45-type beverages."


It really was an educational tune.

Dear Bill: Please Lower Your Erection

Oreilly

Continuing with the anti-propaganda propaganda theme- Roger Ebert  wrote this piece for his blog, or his paper, or whatever.  I don't know much about the dude other than he had a movie review show with some other guy back in the eighties which totally sucked (the eighties I mean- I don't remember anything about the show but I'm sure that sucked too).  So this shows up in my in-box and I'm thinking "goddamn that's pretty clever".  I would never have guessed that Roger Ebert was such a clever little wise-ass.   Da Chi girl Schmoopie are down with E-Bo?  Here he is filleting Bill O like a side of salmon in the New Japan.

Oh No You Dit-int!

On my way into work this morning I stopped at Dunkin Donuts because I’m from New England and that’s just what we do. I was a little cranky after being up late trying to console a child with a ruptured ear drum so it really wasn’t going to take much to put me over the edge. DD is on my left and there are cars coming down the other way so I put my blinker on and waited. Then some lady in a Yukon or something comes toward me kind of slow but she was close enough where I didn’t want to cut her off so I just waited for her to go by. Instead she just casually takes a right turn into DD with no blinker and ends up ahead of me at the drive-thru after I’d been waiting there for like 45 seconds. Put your fucking blinker on lady! So, I just gave a beep and a WTF and then rolled up behind her. Now as we’re waiting in line I see her talking on her cell phone and she keeps looking at me in her side mirror where I’m just giving her a dirty look into the mirror and hoping she catches it. Pretty much the whole time I’m thinking to myself about how ignorant we’ve become as a society and why did I have to live in a town with all of these stupid wops that think they own the place. Who does that on Holy Thursday anyway? Yes, I have bad road rage.

When I finally get up to the window, the Dunkin Donuts lady hands me a plastic card and says that the lady in front of me bought me a $20 gift card because she felt so awful about cutting in front of me. WTF indeed! I’d already resigned myself to a day of walking around with a chip on my shoulder spitting in the face of perspective every chance I got because of this woman and now she even deprives me of that? Now I have to walk around all day all humbled and shit with a renewed faith in humanity? Thanks lady…you cut me off and then make me realize what a shallow asshole I am? Well played, ma'am. I think we need a name for this phenomenon.

Hey, speaking of Holy Thursday, I actually have a Holy Thursday story. Come with me, after the jump if you so chose…

"It's SUPPOSED to taste like a shit taco!"

The only drawback I ever saw with the Bush administration leaving office was that The Daily Show wouldn't be as funny anymore but thankfully for us, Fox News just can't pace their rage. Prepare for some gold...

Zen Question Of The Day

I'll be honest...I never really gave two shits about this whole McDaniel/Cutler thing. They're all just bags of flesh and blood for the Steelers to rip to shreds anyway. The way the media portrayed it, neither one of them come across as particularly likeable guys. Cutler apparently has no filters which is always fun with a professional athlete and McDaniel learned from King Douchenozzle himself. I do however wish Cutler luck throwing to five guys Iv'e never heard of and McDaniel luck with the Kyle Orton experience.

Look, I'm certainly not the type of guy to judge people on their looks. We don't really do that around here. If I were that guy though...has there ever been such a public feud featuring two guys that look like bigger douchebags than these two? McDaniel is a dead ringer for Chet from Weird Science and Cutler totally has that frat boy with a pocket full of roofies thing going for him. It's quite compelling...

So speaking strictly from an aesthetic standpoint, who's the bigger bag of douche here? Art Vandelay is not an option.

No Room For Some Zeppelin On That Thing?

Ipod

Yesterday, our man Obama was in London for a summit with 19 other world leaders to take a day to solve the global recession. I have no idea how they did but the Dow appears to be responding (I knew I should have jumped back in at 6800!). Anyway, I guess when you go to London, you have to see the Queen and to make it worse there's this bullshit tradition of having to exchange gifts every time you see her. So what did Obby give her? An Ipod filled with pictures and video of her last few visits to this side of the pond, along with audio of a couple of his own speeches (a bit narcissistic...sure) and a bunch of showtunes. I'm assuming she likes showtunes and he didn't just assume that because she's old. So how is this even news? Well, you would not believe the outrage...

- He makes Clinton look classy, Bush look smart, and Carter look sane.
- On behalf of President Obama, for whom I did NOT vote, and on behalf the United States, I would like to offer a heartfelt apology to our friends and allies around the world, for the rude and insulting "gifts" and treatment he has given your nations and peoples.
-Obama seeks a classless society, and he's setting the example. As in no class.
-The Obama's continue to prove they are classless, tacky jerks that are unfit to represent our great country.
-If the Obama's are the new face of America...then it is in dire need of a good bitch-slap.

-and on an on...

So what's an acceptable gift for the Queen of England anyway? Anything she's ever wanted in life was hers at the snap of a finger. How do you compete with that? Perhaps, he should follow her example and learn how to give classy gifts. Surely, someone who has been exchanging gifts with world leaders for the better part of 50 years knows this business inside and out. So what did the queen give the prez?

Britain's Press Association reports that the Royal couple gave the Obamas "a silver-framed, signed photograph of themselves."

Awesome.

AofG Meathead Challenge Update

Bench_press

Stagnating like Nate Kaeding right now. But I don't want to let this thing die a slow death (SCHIAVO JOKE BLOCKER v1.4 HAS REMOVED TEXT), so I'm going to mail in a post here. I just tried to max out on the bench recently and got no higher than I have in the past. Wasn't feeling great, but thought I could make a small improvement. Luckily, Klompus has old man injuries right now and probably isn't putting any distance between us.

Gisele is Bat Shit Insane

Gisele

I saw this Vanity Fair article linked on Deadspin and I’m still not sure what sucked me in (possibly NSFW), but for some reason, I just had to click on it and skim through. As if you needed any more reasons to envy the Brady, for as ridiculously hot as she is this broad can really bring the crazy, and I think we know what that means.

“I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent,” Gisele says. “I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.”

Ummm…no. It’s not like that at all.

Okay lady grievers, let’s say your cleft-chinned boyfriend knocks you up and immediately after decides to leave you for a supermodel. You’re publically humiliated but ready to go through nine months of pregnancy alone because in spite of the emptiness that he’s left you with, all you have left in this lonely world is this bastard child. Presumably, you already despise this woman because she lives in the same town, is the wife of your child’s father, and yet you’ve never met her. Then one day you pick up a VF with her hot naked ass plastered all over it and you read that despite that little “giving birth” thing that you went through, she feels that the child is 100% hers.

That’s gotta be pretty much enough to put someone in a straight jacket, no?
