Top 10 Moments of 07'

Yes it is the last day of the year, and I am at work with not a god damn thing to do. So I figured I would conjure up a list of the best moments of 07 for me. It truly was a great year, but i have said that for the last 5 or 6 years, so I guess i am just a lucky fuck. Anyway here goes it.

#10 Rage Against the Machines Concert: This was the best concert I have ever been to, and add to the fact that I am of legal drinking age, in a soggy alpine valley and shit got crazy. Highlight had to be the near beatdown we took for a glass of piss being spilled on the guys ahead of us. Luckily C-weed had our backs.

#9 My Buddy Brandon Wilkes wedding: I have been in a few wedddings now and they are all fun, but usually when you are standing up you need to behave more than everyone else because you are front and center. Well this wedding was a definite exception to that rule. The wedding party was toasted before the dinner, absolutely wrecked. By the time the evening was over I had consumed at least 3 gallons of booze that day. It also ended with me hooking up with one of my unicorns which is always a plesant suprise.

#8 I Harpooned a Whale: One of the funniest moments of 07 actually came about 10 minutes into it. That was the moment I laid eyes on the biggest divas I had ever seen, it wasnt long before she swallowed my face whole like an egg roll. That is really that funny, but when you take into account we never said one word, that was the first black girl i had ever kissed, it was in a long line for the bars so everyone had a front row view, and if you saw the look on Noels face and heard his laugh you would have thought it was histerical.

#7 I Got Knocked the Fuck Out!: Well not really but I did get my ass kicked by Geigle after I slapped him a few times. This was the craziest night of my life i think, in a long list of events that made this night special each one trumped the previous. Definately wins best A-bar of 07.

#6 Apple River Trip: Hmmm, I didnt even know about half of much of this weekend until I got home from it, but it was a wild time. The weather did not cooperate and i made a bad choice to try and drive home after floating down a river, but the weekend was epic. My highlight was either the BJ on my smoke break or stealing the bus drivers DQ blizzard. Oh yeah and whatever happened to what happens on the river stays on the river? Cocksuckers.

#5 3 on 3 tourney: I was worried that this tourney at my house was a bad idea, but it could not have gone more smoothly. Everyone had a good time from what I could gather, C$$$ had the crowd splitting at the sides, nobody got hurt, and we ended up winning. It was a great day fo sho.

#4 Best Brewer Tailgate Ever! I used to think there were lots of elements to a good tailgate. Good food, good location, nice weather etc. Now I am pretty sure there is just one that is required a lot of potent booze. My friend Curt and I made a concoction known as Jungle Juice, and we got drunk of the fumes making it. It wasnt long before everyone was crazy fucked up and the cops were escorting us from the parking lot. The night was topped off by Aaron setting up some tennis lessons. Ironically this day also had the least flattering pictures and video of 07. Believe me you dont want to know.

#3 Vegas Baby: In march of 07 I had the first of which will probably many trips to Sin City, and it did not dissapoint. We had a great time gambling and drinking like degenerates. Next time I go I promise to be in a better position finacially so i dont end up giving free months rent to roomies who had to spot your action. By the way thanks again Noel.

#2 Sunday Funday: This was more of a culmination of the entire Festival weekend, which was amazing, but Sunday was truly the most fun. From butterscotch schnapps before breakfast, to winning the raffle, to spending all my winnings in the beer tent, to meeting fall back the woman of my dreams. Whats funny is pretty much everything that made this night truly memorable cannot be said on this blog to do its x rated nature.

#1 I moved into my own place: I bought my place last year, but I didnt move in until March of this year. I have already had many, many memories and hope they continue. It was a hell of a year at 46 Tower and I think we are ready to bring in the new one in style.

Most of these moments involved booze so I am sure I could be forgetting something truly memorable, if your memory is better than mine please help me out.

Babies having babies

I was going to break the exclusive about the whole Jamie Spears pregnant thing, that I am pretty sure I am the only one who knows because my finger is so far up the dirty ass that is Hollywood. But instead I thought I would wait so long that nobody cared and it would be annoying to everyone who doesn't read this blog. Then I decided I was going to write this totally hilarious post comparing The Spears family to pretty much any family growing up in the projects. But instead I am going to post this video because I thought it was funny and because the only people who view this blog cant read or "hate" to read and only love videos so enjoy.
ps I am trying to figure out if this is Pearl, the drunken baby landlord who made Will Ferrel funny again...let me know I am dying to find out!

The Holidays

I wont bore you with everything that happened from the holidays. I will start off with a funny little anecdote. Last Friday many of my friends were home for the holidays and a bunch of us went out for pizza and beer, and then we went to the local establishments for one drunken evening. Well the evening basically consisted of us all just drinking as much and as hard as we could. After what seemed to be an eternity out at the bars we went back to the Tri-pods place for a little abar. The abar consisted of bong rip after bong rip, and I really cannot remember laughing harder than I did that night. We were all having a great time. Well anyways a girl that I have had quite a history with was at the a-bar, and although she wasnt really into the charm that I was putting out, I thought I maybe had a shot. She wondered off to a spare bedroom, and shortly after I did the same. I saw she was in buddies bed a crawled in. Apparently I had a case of the old wandering hand, but everything was very harmless as I soon passed out. I awoke the next day with my buddy Korth trying to roll me out of bed in order to try and find his phone. I told him half sleeping I didnt have his phone but when he rolled me over we found it under where I was sleeping. He then left, and I tried to get back to sleep. The girl that i had a prior history, proceeded to give me the best xmas present ever and we said goodbye and I went and got ready to become santa claus. I didnt really think much to why the phone was in the bed until later when my buddy korth and I were having a few drinks before dinner. He was like, "what the fuck were you touching me for last night?" To which I replied, "What the fuck are you talking about". He was like dude you crawled into bed with me and $%## last night, and dude you were holding my hand and trying to rub my leg". At that moment the whole phone in the bed made sense, and I was like dude I didnt know you were in there. Apparently he beat me to the punch and I did some major cockblocking. This is hilarious since I got the holiday cheer the next day and he left with a phone the probably smelled like the crack of my ass. Anyways I am glad I passed out before anything more happened. I still dont get why he didnt say anything if he new it was me? Anyways that is the way my weekend started and it only got better.

- Santa Clause sucks to play, but the kids sure do enjoy it. I have so many cute little cousins and to see there smiles when handing out presents made my holiday.

- I wonder how many Santa's reaked of booze and marb lights on Saturday, I know one that did.

- Xmas at a bowling alley was perfect for the Mulherns, filled with cash bowling games, half the people bellied to the bar, and drinking mid day. My family all really enjoyed xmas this year and I give my parents all the thanks for that.

- Prime Quarter was awesome great food and great company. Best dressed group that place has ever scene and I gurantee it.

- Way too many dudes at my xmas party, but that was not to suprising with the weather that arrived on Saturday. Still I was dissapointed with a few that said they were going to make it and never showed or called, you know who you fucking are.

- How did we finish all of that booze, my plan of bring your own bottle, was to restock our liquor cabinet. Instead our liquor cabinet was destroyed.

- All you need to know about how drunk I got on Saturday is the new game I thought of called two bottle which requires you to have a bottle of champagne in one hand and a bottle of tequila in the other. Needless to say I was hurting on Sunday.

- Slept until 130 on Sunday, awoke to a few of my friends getting hammed, determined Sunday Funday was in order. Funday consisted of drinking games using gentlemans jack and tequila, needless to say I was hurting on Sunday.

- Sunday, i had xmas with my parents, and my dad and I cook for my mom and brother, and this year my uncle Al who as you may recall recently lost his wife. We had a wonderful xmas, and my dad and I absolutely ripped it in the kitchen. A seafood smorgasm if you will and I ate until it became painful.

- Monday we went to a movie and had a really chill day, it was much needed as I can tell I am getting sick for about the 10th time already since fall has hit. It may be becuase I dont take very good care of myself.

- Rum came over and we did some gaming and I watched a few more movies. A perfect ending to a great holiday!

Humpday Best of 07'

Here is my little ode to the best of humpday for the year, well at least in my opinion. Take a look back and air your grievances. I heard from a lot of people over the break that said they read the blog, I want to start hearing from you.
From top to bottom, Tebow's girl, Maria Sharapova, Hayden Panittiere, Rosario Dawson, Megan Fox. Enjoy!!!

Merry Fucking Xmas

This will probably be my last post until after the holidays and I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and festive christmas. Celebrate the birth of the Christ, a man who died for all of mans sins. I am going to do that sinning all weekend. Im talking drugs, sex, and rock n roll. Not really. I am not very happy that I have officially been nominated for all time Santa Clause at the mulhern xmas. It sucks because, first of all i dont know all my cousins names, and if Santa knows if you have been good or bad, he should know your name. Secondly all the kids know my name and know I am not Santa. So they just bust my balls the whole time while my mom just laughs and takes hundreds of pictures. What is really funny is C$$$ dad has an actual resembelance to Santa, but he wont do it. P-oren, i'm calling you out. Anyways after my family xmas the damn party of the century is going to erupt at my place. We are supposed to get hammered with snow so this may soon turn into a slumber party which may finally be the in I need. That is all I asked for xmas actually a fine piece of ass just to be tossed into my face, im easy to please. Again everyone have a happy holidays, and I hope to have some great updates for when I get back.

Holding up my end of the deal

So when I graciously agreed to become a part of DWI, I wanted to bring something a little different to the table. I am huge fan of art and everything design. whether it be fine art, great architecture, simple industrial design, a clever ad, great typography or a great Camel Light art pack. I can really appreciate educated design decisions and great use of color. For all of you out there that don't know me very well, I graduated from the University of Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design in 04'. So I guess that means I am supposed to know what I am talking about when it comes to art. Well I like to think I do, but the truth is I just really love art and everything that comes with it. I am a full time Graphic Designer for Moose Racing. Moose is a Motor Cross and ATV racing and parts company. And no I cant get you free shit, so don't even ask. Anyway before this post gets to long winded. My job requires that I be on the cutting edge of whats fresh in design and pop culture. So in my spare time I am always searching on the internet for inspiration or new techniques. I come across some really amazing artist sites, tutorial sites and just down right amazing web sites. So I am going to be posting links and pictures of artist I admire and am pretty much just am jealous of. I guess my goal is to expose people to new stuff that they might other wise never see or really appreciate the craft.
My first artist I want you to take a look at is an illustrator named Josh Smith. He ownes and runs Hydro Seventy Four. I think he is from Orlando, but he is one the sickest designers I have come across thus far. His illustrations are full of detail and imagination. His typographic treatments are fresh and carry many different techniques. His clients range from Nike to Etnies to Def Jam records. He is truly an inspiration to me and I can only hope that one day I can nibble on the finger nail that is his genius!
hydro74.com


Maybe I will post some of my work some time...if you even give a shit or ask nicely.
If people want more of these types of post than tell us via the comments section. Also I don't know if there are any designers that read our blog but if you want I can post links to really helpful and insightful photoshop and illustrator tutorials. Just post to the comments section and woolah I will! Or if you just want to tell me how handsome and hilarious I am then that is welcomed as well.

A Mulhern Family Xmas

For those of you that don’t know my mother’s maiden name is Mulhern and we ascend from and Irish and German heritage, and one thing we definitely take from that is our love for the sauce. Our Xmas is no different than most we get together with the family and we just catch up and enjoy each others company. Though we all live in the upper Midwest xmas is usually the only Holiday in which we all get together. The one big difference is pretty much every one close to legal drinking age likes to get hammered. Alcoholism runs in our family, every single one of us cousins has been affected by it at one point in our life. Nobody sees booze as a problem in our family and we only look at it as a release from the many other problems that we all have. Basically any chance we can get to tip a few back we take it. Now I normally do not indulge in these activities in front of y relatives, which I know will surprise many, but I don’t like losing my cool in front of my family. I have no problems doing this in front of my friends, as many of you know, but booze brings out the worst in me and I don’t want them to see that side of me. However when the cousins get by themselves I no longer hold true those words.

One xmas which had to be about 3 years ago now, we spent the day at my grandmothers in Montello. It is a nice place on the lake, but we have about 45 family members now and the place is just not big enough. I was enjoying a few of my Grandfather’s home brewed beers (yes he tried to make his own beer, but the shit was god awful, nobody had the heart to tell him, and I think my cousin by marriage zirbel actually drank a damn 6 pack) when the decision was made that the older cousins made the decision that since we are all together why not hit up some bars when we got back to Madison. My cousin C$$ loved the idea and decided that he would switch over to Tom and Jerry’s, in which my Gramps was whipping up in the back, I guess he really wanted to prime the tank. Well xmas went well, there was no accusations of sexual harassment, no surprise pregnancies announced, and basically everyone just bull shitted all day. Then we all headed back to the madtown.

My cousin Dave lives in Minnesota and is one of the wildest men I have ever met, fortunately he is has been tamed by his lovely wife and family, but don’t let this fool you, get him away from his family and give him a few stiff drinks, and it doesn’t take long for him to revert to his old ways. I have always been a bad influence for my older cousin’s, I like to play it off as they are the bad influence on me, but the truth is they are usually pretty low key. Then I talk them into going out, a few drinks later we are back to our old tricks that would certainly get them in trouble if they tried this on a regular basis. Well Dave had a hotel on E. Wash and he scouted the lounge bar the night before and we decided that would be a good place to start. We ordered a couple double jack and cokes and got the night started. We probably drank for a good hour and half before some of my other cousins filtered in. When it was all said and done there were about 6 of us ready to go out on the town. Our night started out at the Silver Eagle in Monona. I fucking hate this bar, I just don’t like the sleezy clientele that hangs out there, again this may surprise many of you. Still I was feeling good and I would have god drunk outside in the cold with some homeless guy if that’s all there was. It was the day of xmas and I could not believe how many people were out. The place was backed wall to wall and the sounds of terrible Karaoke were filling my ears. It wasn’t long before we were all tipping back shots and getting as we like to call “getting Mulhern wit it”. We met these two nice girls that informed us they made there living dancing for cash. I immediately fell in love as I do with all exotic dancers that will take the time to say hello to me. They were cutting up a serious rug on the dance floor, and it wasn’t long before there was a full on lesbo scene right in front of us. These chicks were getting hammered and the best part about it is they had loads of singles. I saw in her purse and she probably had $100 in singles rolled up. So she would go up and buy a drink, bring it back to our table, head out to the dance floor, and I would proceed to drink about ¾ of the way. She would return finish her drink and go buy another one. She did this about 4 times and she would say things like, “wow am I drinking fast tonight” or “I am so drunk I probably have 15 drinks”. Personally I kind of regret not letting the Novocain do its trick, and by drinking all of her drinks I probably ruined my chances. Still I got hammered on the cheap, and I was going to have one hell of a night. It wasn’t long before good ol C$$ started his tricks. For those who don’t know my cousin Craig, who is also a contributor on the blog often referred to as C-Weed or C$$ or one of the million countless nicknames he has given himself over the years, but he is probably the most fun person to hang out with when you both are drunk. He likes to take any and all opportunities to really stir up the pot, whether that be to get everyone dancing on the dance floor with moves that would put a shutter down j-timbs spine, or picking a fight because he wants to prove that although he has a small stature he is anything but weak. I have found this out many times by the way and I still don’t know if I have ever got the best of that kid at anything. He sure wouldn’t admit if I did. On this evening however he was concentrating on turning the place inside out with some patented karaoke. Another thing you may not know about my cousin, is he is a free lance artist and he is very talented at that. While he was in college he came out with a hip-hop cd that was blowing up on the tri-county undergrounds. The cd was very good and it started what is now becoming his legendary karaoke career. Well C$$ picked out the perfect song, Jump, Jump, by Kriss Kross. Now I know everyone thinks they know the words to this song, but really all they know is the hook. This song had to be impossible to Karaoke and C$$$ nailed about 95% of it and had the crowd going wild. The rippers were getting down, the mulherns were loving it, and Craig was feeling good. He ended the last verse with his own little free style with the new chorus “C$$$ will make you Jump, Jump”. Needless to say he rocked the house, but we had a problem starting arising. Two of our drivers were getting hammered, my cousin Andrew, Dave’s brother, was my ride, and he could hardly stand up. We figured we needed to get closer to home and soon.

We headed to the Sports Pub to finish our night, it wasn’t long before my ride was missing. I looked every where for him but he was no where to be found. I decided to go out to his car to see if he had bailed. I got up to the drivers side door, and saw a huge pile of vomit, and inside Andrew was passed out. He looked safe enough and I headed back inside to get a drink. We partied there until bar close, before a few of the cousins took off. I had a dilemma, do I stumble back to the hotel with Dave and sneak into his room where his wife and two year old child are sleeping? What the hell should we do with Andrew? I cannot drive that Mitsubishi P.O.S. that he was driving cuz I cannot drive stick and I was probably in just as bad of shape as he was. I go out to wake him up and there he is drinking coffee that god knows where he got, and smoking a cigarette. He denied that he puked and instead said he was feeling tired so he took a nap. Anyways he told me he was fine to drive and gave me a ride home. It was a great night spent with my great fam, and here is to this year being just as wild!

Packer Fans Really Enjoying Themselves

This is sickens me to know end. Its not that I dont like the Packers I have no real dislike for the team or any player. I am a big Kampman, even though he went to Iowa, and I used to like the big three of Chuey, Winters, and Gilbert Brown, but I cannot stand when this team is doing well. The fans come out in droves and the way they will all get down and kiss the feet of the all holy one Brett Favre, is hard to stomach. Yes he is one of the best of all time, but lets save the dick sucking for the geisha house. The only thing that could really save me from all of this is somehow the vikings end up beating GB in GB to go to the NFC championship. That would put a stop to all this dancing around, and feeling like we are cooler than we really are. Packer fans, most of you are idiots, and I see proof of this everytime I watch a video like this.

Humpday: Rachel Bilson

I dont think Rachel is doing anything newsworthy these days, I just really would love to do her. Enjoy!!

Tasty goes to the Giesha!

It seems Big Tasty has already been to the geisha i found video evidence to prove it.



...and you didn't know how it was going to go down. Looks like you have a pretty good idea of how it works!

A Moral Question to Those Who Read This

The holiday is right around the corner and I really dont have any presents to buy. My mother buys a present for herself, my brother, and my father, then wraps and puts my name on it and just asks for a check later. I love that since I hate going to the mall this time of year. I usually get my parents something else and I usually do something with my brother also, but this way everyone is happy. I am planning on getting my two roomies a little present, not sure exactly yet but I have a good idea. My friend Noel and I have discussed getting eachother presents that we will really enjoy, a trip to the Geisha house for a massage with happy ending. This is where I finally get to my question, is it morally acceptable to receive or give a present in which money is exchanged for some sort of sexual gratification?

Now all my lady readers here me out, cuz I am trying to sell myself on this. First of all everything I have gathered from this place is legit. Apparently for $125 you can go take a shower, get a nude massage (you both being nude) and then they give you the five knuckle shuffle with some of the finest massage oils in all of the midwest. No kisses, no handshakes, just a rub and a tug. Seems harmless enough. For $165 dollars, you can get the massage with a very happy ending, though I dont like the thought of sleeping with whores, even if all the proper safety measures are taken. I figure the only thing you can catch from a handy is a serious case of Indian burn, in which I self inflict about twice a week neways. I have no problems doing this maybe I have no conscience or whatever, but I have no problem paying for sexual favors, whether it be a pair of titties in a strip joint or going ahead with the dual rub. I do though worry about what type of image I will have after I go to a place like this. Noel I dont expect you have these same worries, but I do care what people think about me. I dont want to be known as some perv, who pays to get laid. Like I said I wont be getting laid, and this is more of a treat to eachother, than fulfilling some sexual fantasy. Still I know that most people think this type of behavior is terrible, and I shouldnt have to pay for this type of gratification. So with that being said I want to post this to all that may read and hope to get some feedback. What do you think I should do? Should we go ahead and get eachother a gift that you know damn well we both will enjoy? Will you look at me differently after knowing that I have solicited the one sexual act, that I can no doubt perform on myself? Lastly, why does the oldest proffession known to man, have such a negative connotation with it? I mean I get what I want, complete relaxation, and then service with a smile, and she gets what she wants my money, which will probably go to pay for her abortion or to help pay for her oxy addiction. DWI readers give me some feedback!!!

Update

It has been a little while since I have posted any sort of update about myself so I will do so today. The holidays are coming up quickly, and let me tell you I am an absolute Grinch. I love family more than anything but I hate the Xmas Holiday. I dont know what it is, it could be the weather, I am always sick this time of year, this year being no different. I think Xmas brings out the worst in people, you ever go shopping on Xmas Eve? I dont know I just am not into this holiday and I instead of feeling really good about myself, I usually just pig out and feel like shit. New Years is a little different story, usually I do something fun and you have to love that "New Year, New Beginning" attitude that usually shows up. Last year I was very productive for the first 7 months of the year, and the dog days of summer rolled around and getting me to work extra hard was a cod damn chore. This year I am going to try for 8 months of production, man I should of been a teacher.

Enough of my holiday rant, I am excited for my Holiday party this weekend. My good buddy who moved to Houston is back for Xmas and I havent seen him in a while so, I am really looking forward to catching up. We are having a formal party and I love any opportunity to dress up and see everyone looking there best, it seems as if everyone parties a little harder when they know they look good, well at least I do. I am going to buy my first suit since 8th grade graduation tonight, yes I plan on being the dressed guy not to hook up for the party. Still it should be a great time, we are expecting about 40 of our closest friends. It is the Mulhern xmas that day so I am guessing we will have some Irish party crashers as well. That can mean one of two things, a great party is only made better by some real drinkers, or there is going to be a fight. C$$$, remember those good ol days?

Work has been crazy, LCG is reaching some new heights as the year closes. I have heard some rumblings that we did 13 million in sales this year, smashing our previous high set last year of a little over a 11 million. That doesnt mean very much as to the success of our company, but it does explain why I am so cod damn busy. I am currently running 12 projects, two of which are the biggest projects I have ever run. It is hard not to make mistakes when you are that busy and cordinating to keep everyone happy this time of year is difficult. When it is cold everyone wants windows in there building so they can turn the air on, so when that doesnt happen I have a pissed of G.C. calling me cursing my name. It comes with the territory and I am glad it is like this. I would much rather be under the gun all the time then have nothing to do. There appears to be no end in sight either, as in the past two weeks we have sold about 2.5 million dollars worth of work for the upcomming year, giving us a nice backlog.

OK enough of the LCG talk, it has already taken enough of my livelihood. Last weekend I spent in Milwaukee with some buddies from College. My friend Jon is moving to Arizona on the 1st of the year so I was spending some time with him as well as trying to lure a couple of Pony's into our spring break trip. We have a great crew already, but there are two kids out there that could really make this the best trip of my life. They know who they are, and they know how dissapointed I would be if they cannot make it. Anyways, we had a lot of fun getting hammed and catching up. Friday night, I ran into my ex who at last time we had talked called hated me and everything about me. She was actually on a date, but we did get a chance to talk, and she seems to hate me a little less than prior stated. I think we can both move forward as friends, and i am happy for that as I dont like to be hated by anyone. Saturday night I pissed off my friend Mark something fierce by spilling a drink on his carpet, of his apartment, luckily we had some girls there that new a thing or two about being on there knees and that stain was out asap. Mark still sorry about that buddy. We went out to a bar on north and it was just a chill evening. Sunday watched the Pack creep closer to the Superbowl, and I realize I may need to move out of the state if Bret can actually lead them to the promise.

Not much more to update everyone on. The blog is going really well, and going into the new year, C$$ and I are going to try and be more active with our posts, getting a little more personal as well as hopefully putting some smiles on our readers faces. We would love to hear more from the people that read this, TK, keep leading by example, we love your comments, and we love to get bashed, by the people that like us and the haters that may read. I am going to be working on some "top 10 of 07" lists for next week. If anyone has a good list that they would like to see made or has any input let me know.

Rap Music Explained Mathematically?

Baseball Dealt Another Black Eye

I dont know if anyone has ever seen the movie Eight Men Out, but it is a movie about the Chicago Black Sox and there gambling scandal, in which they threw world series games for cash. Well there is a little scene after the judge finds the ball players guilty, and the ball players are basically found to be disgraces, where a little boy yells out to Shoeless Joe Jackson, "Say it aint so Joe, Say it aint so". Well after todays Mitchell report came out I am feeling like that little kid. Now steroids is not a new topic of discussion, this report dates back to 2001 I believe. However today, for me, was the culmination of one of the worst disgraces in sporting history. Right now the American public looks like idiots while Jose Canseco looks like a genious. Some of the games greats such as Bonds, Clemons, Tejada, Giambi, Pettite, and Sheffield all had there names come up on this report. That is a lot of MVPs, a lot of records, a lot of World Series rings, that in my mind are all tarnished.

I am split on my feelings towards the individual players. Yes they cheated to get ahead, and yes in some cases they even lied about it in front of a grand jury, however this isnt a couple of bad apples, this is an entire culture among baseball. Following Sammy and Mac's big HR chase the game changed for the worse, and everyone in baseball. The game was booming, ticket sales high as can be, record salaries, but all this is based on artificial help. Baseball turned its head on this problem until it was too late. It wasnt until we have one of the most time honored records in all sports get broken, does baseball realize that something needs to be done. However it is far to late, and this era of baseball, to me, will always be marked with a yeah but. It is a shame to the hundreds of players who did it the right way, who played there hearts out and didnt use enhancements, but even to those clean players I ask did you not know what your fellow teammates were up too.

Where baseball goes from here? Well I know I am sounding dramatic but the truth is baseball is a game i still love. The team I love is about to become a contender, and I am anxious for the start of a new season. I hope the drug testing becomes stricter, I hope they find a way to bust those who use HGH. I hope Bonds is stripped of his home run crown, and Clemons of his Cy Young victories. Though I doubt baseball will have the guts to do it. Today is the culmination of what is wrong with the game I love, the money, the fortune, the fame, has led to cheating, and the game may never be the same again.

John Rambo: What Happened to My Favorite Planet Hollywood Co-Owner?

I saw this trailer last night while watching some ultimate fighting and all I can say is wow, this movie is going to be awesome for all the wrong reasons. It got me thinking when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the most promising of the Planet Hollywood trio. What was I thinking, all he did was go on to become governor, while the other two have put out amazing sequels in the past couple of years. First it was Rocky VI, the keep getting better so keep turnin them out, then Live Free or Die Hard, now John Rambo. Come Arnold, I want Last Action Hero 2, Twins 2, Commando 2, shit all of your movies could have sick ass sequels. You are letting your brethren down by not making shitty movies, so get on it.

Season Shot

Technology is amazing "Season Shot" is "ammo with flavor" as they like to put it. Basically you go hunting with these seasoned bullets and when you shoot or in my case wound your game which will never be found. You automatically season the meat. This truly is awesome, so now when I am shooting at stuff and barely skimming the ass of it. When it trots away, at least I will provide the scared little animal with delicious little snack to lick upon. I think this has already been done though, by a guy in Jerusalem named God. I think he invented the first season shot. Salt flavored, he gave every man one. Some salt shakers bigger than others. So hey before you go blow your load on there seasoned shells pick up your own turkey baster and season her meat. BOOYAH!

The Business Part Duex

Big Tasty~ C$$$, you have a great point; rap lyrics have long degraded women as a group, and have used stereotypes in a very negative way. However, Don Imus is not a black man spitting hot fire. He is not even making a statement about women basketball players, which would be wrong as well, but it wouldn’t cost him his job. No Don, crossed the line because he made the comments about an African American woman basketball player, and it proves one giant point. Racism is not dead in this country and probably is more prevalent than ever. His remarks affirm this, and for that he should lose his job. There is nothing creative about his remarks, and to say that a shock jock should have a free pass because he was making a joke, is an opinion I have to reject. Howard Stern and Jim Rome, both have made names for themselves by being very controversial. However they will touch just about every controversy accept this big one, RACE! It is obvious why this is such a sensitive topic, from slavery to affirmative action; race has been deeply routed in the foundation of this country. It is ok for one to poke fun at its own stereotypes. Reason why Borat, can win an Academy Award, for best comedy, when it just bashes Jews from start to finish. However, don’t think for one second, Don Imus should be able to use radio, as a platform to spew stereotypes of the African American race.

I will agree with you that Don Imus was trying to be funny, and on the radio I can only imagine this is very difficult to always be doing. In fact there probably isn’t one radio personality, that hasn’t slipped up in a way. I will also agree that there is a double standard by NBC by tolerating hate filled lyrics in songs put out by there record companies. There is a definite difference in my opinion, however. CD’s in which they degrade women or stereotype white males, or even talk about killing police, are not something you can stop. Artists have the right to freedom of speech; they have the right to say anything they want. The reason NBC allows this is two fold. First we as consumers have the right to buy whatever we want, if I want to purchase footage of a Klan rally from the early 60’s I am sure with the internet I can do so. There is nothing anyone can do to tell me different. However it would be against the law for them to broadcast that same Klan rally over network television. Don Imus was a nationally syndicated radio personality, and is piped in for free over millions of radios across the country. There is a much different standard you need to follow when broadcasting free content, one in which the FCC regulates. Don Imus has the right to say what he wants, however he has to realize that he doesn’t have an audience that can choose what they hear and what they don’t hear. He has to make sure his statements are ok with everyone and anyone that may be listening and not just his target audience. The other argument I have supporting NBC, and the reasoning why they can support rap music but in turn fire somebody for saying something much tamer is the money behind it. There is a definite demand for rappers like 50 cent, or eminem, rappers that as you say use lyrics that make Don’s statement look like sentiments from the pope. However these guys sell millions of records and make NBC a lot of money. If Don Imus’ show would have tripled the audience the next day, because of his stereotyping, he may have kept his job. However nobody wants to listen to this bigot and his ratings did not approve after his comments, therefore NBC had no reason to keep him on. The bottom line is NBC did the right thing, in firing Don Imus, America as a whole, has no place for his hate filled stereotyping, even if all he was trying to do was make a joke. If he wanted to make those comments on some comedic CD, I would have been fine with them, but he said that on a national radio broadcast and needed to suffer the consequences for his actions.
C-Weed – Tasty, you might have a point Dimus Ion was fired because he looks like king tut if you exhumed him and slapped a ten-gallon hat on his dusty ass head. I think NBC was waiting for some reason to terminate his contract. His little remarks sparked a hard on at NBC because they could fire him with out diving into an age discrimination lawsuit.
I give up, you are right racism is still an issue in the U.S. I feel like you should quite Lakes City Glass and begin your super secretive and daring career with the CIA. Your investigative instincts and your cunning ability to see straight through the bullshit is unprecedented. You could spend lonely nights sitting in a un-marked white Ford Econoline van full of computers and high powered spying devices. You will probably almost always notice the smallest detail that would of gone un-noticed to the novice and spoil one of the biggest cocaine bust the force has ever seen. You could be hero, glass is for pussies. Busting cocaine drug lords is for hard asses guys who slay the pussy.
On a lighter note, I watch a lot of King of Queens on TBS. I mean it is on like 16 different times a day, kind of hard to miss one. I just recently realized something, in all the years I have been watching the show I never am actually watching the show. I am hearing it loud and hysterically clear, but I am starring at Leah Remini’s tits the entire time. She has and amazing rack. I have had a giant boner over her since her days on Saved by the Bell as one hard-core hotel manager Stacy Corosi. I oogled at her ta-tahs then too.

Humpday: Hottest Athletes Wives

CO-Ed Magazine has done a little piece called the sexiest athletes wives of 07. The link to that article along with some amazing galleries can be found here. Here are the top three from that list. From top to bottom Jeff Garcia's wife Carmella, Scott Podsednik's wife Lisa, and Tiger's wife Elin she has a sexy twin sister I might add. Man I wish I would have tried harder in sports. Enjoy!!!

I Need to Start Going to More Hockey Games

The guys over at With Leather posted this hilarious video of a guy rocking out to some queen at a Hockey game. This guy is what is great about American sport, and with the mullet I am starting to sport I think I need to get to a few more hockey games.

This zebra got some new stripes

This glorious picture is from the Monday night game when the Pats whooped the Bills. I guess this ref couldn't believe how good the Pats really are, so he pooped his pants in amazement. I would probably soil my butt cheeks too if I had to swing that schnoz around all day, it looks heavy.

Brewers Sign Eric Gagne

Over the weekend the Milwaukee Brewers signed former Cy Young RP Eric Gagne to a year 10 million dollar deal. At first look it seems like a lot of money but this move comes with out much risk as few players sign 1 year deals. Gagne stunk with Boston but pitched very well last year with the Rangers. He is an injury risk, but like I said I feel more comfortable with 1 year of Gagne at 10 mil than I do 4 years of Cordero at 12 mil. This one has much less risk as far as I am concerned. The Brewers seemed poise to make another move. Currently the Brewers have Sheets, Yo, Suppan, Cappy, Bush, Villanueva, Vargas, Parra, Torres, Wise, Turnbow, Gagne, Aquino, Stetter, Mota, McClung, and Shouse. That is 17 pitchers for most likely 12 spots. One name I keep hearing and like a lot as a platoon option with Joe Dillon at 3rd base is Hank Blalock . I think that could be a nice fit, he hits left handed and plays good defense. We would improve the team a lot without giving up any of our young cheap players.

This Reminds Me of College

Good Ol Days

Ouch!

Today, Mike Vick was sentenced for his role in a dog fighting ring, to 23 months in prison. All I can say is wow Mike, you done fucked up. First of all I am not taking this dog fighting thing lightly, in the federal indictment it says the Mike Vick and his associates executed at least 8 dogs, using varying methods such as hanging, electricuting, and just beating them to death. This is a very serious matter that I think he should have gotten in trouble for, but 23 months in prison and a one year ban from the NFL after that seems to be a pretty steap punishment. It most likely gets worst for Vick as a dog killer is pretty much worse than being pedaphile in this country. I think it is pretty funny, that there are two people in the NFL that have killed men. Ray Lewis was not convicted of murder charges but was in a knife fight with a man that died of stabbing wounds, and Leonard Little, who killed a woman, in Drunk driving accident. Neither of these players were suspended a game by the NFL. Not to mention the countless number of sexual assualt charges these players seem to beat on a regular basis. Like I said before I dont think Dog fighting should be legal and I think this is serious, I just dont think it is as serious, as some of the things that go unpunished by our society from day to day. Shit a drug trafficking charge or illegal gun possesion charge would have only probably netted him probation. All I can say Ron, is dont forget your Valtrax prescription in prison, you dont want to infect all those pretty whiteboys that are about to be your bitch!

The Business Debate Pt. 1

NBC hates the players, loves the game.

As many of you know Don Imus was recently rehired, after getting fired earlier in the year for comments he made regarding the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team. Imus, referred to some of the girls on the team as “nappy headed hoes”. This is an issue C$$ and I feel strongly about and in a new segment to the blog we will be hosting debates about some of these touchy subjects.

Tasty ~ I want to go on record that I am from a small town in Wisconsin, one in which was pretty white. I was not raised as a racist, but growing up I all I knew about other people’s culture was from what I saw in TV or read in a history book. When I went to college I probably was being racist, I was scared to ride the bus, I often talked negatively about areas of Milwaukee that were not upper middle class, if there was an open seat next to a black guy in class, I probably would not have sat there. The problem was I only new the stereotypes, I mean they are every where. You cannot watch a sitcom or movie without seeing so many stereotypes. The thing stereotypes have always been used as a sort of humor. I mean half of my favorite comedians are black and what do they joke about? They make jokes about stereotypes; I mean have you heard Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle white guys voice? That shit is hilarious. However the same stereotypes that are hilarious on T.V. and with all those comedians is just not appropriate, for anyone to joke about or even mention. It is a form of racism. If Rush Limbaugh, says African Americans make poor quarterbacks, that is a blatant form of racism. If Don Imus, calls some African American basketball players, “nappy headed hoes”, he deserves to be fired and never get called back again. The problem is stereotypes aren’t hurtful in the broad sense of the term. They are however hurtful. Do I think they are funny? Yes. Do I joke about stereotypes when I know nobody can be hurt by them? I do. However if you make them for the whole world to hear you deserve to be fired for being a god damn racist.

C-Weed ~ I don’t think the issue is whether or not D-dogg Imus should have been fired. I think the real problem here is who else falls under this ignorant clause. Lets take a look at how hypocritical NBC is. NBC Universal owns UMG (Universal Music Group), which in turn they own Interscope Records. Everyone still with me…in case nobody knows about Interscope Records they house such artist as: 2 Pac, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, G-Unit Records and the fine line up they have to offer, by line up I mean there many documented police line ups. Every one of these artists has blatantly exemplified drugs, guns, bitches and hoes. Don Imus actually talked about real issues. Controversial, yes. But he was a positive influence to many. He is a shock jock much like Howard Stern. This is why NBC hired him in the first place. Instead of making examples maybe they should give a little bit of the creative freedom they give to their other entertainers.

If NBC wants to start making examples then maybe they should be firing some of their artist who are rapping about fucking bitches and killing dudes while they roll in Escalades. I mean what the fuck Imus makes one joke about some chick’s hair and all hell breaks loose. This one time I told this homeless dude I hated his boots and to get a job. Good thing I am not employed by NBC they would probably cut my balls off. The real issue here is Don Imus got fired because white people are not allowed to ever and I mean never joke around about woman’s hair during a basketball game. I mean why would they wash and style it, it’s a basketball game it is just going to get all sweaty and nappy, oh shit I mean messy. He was just calling it like he saw it; it was a joke. Maybe he should have had Kanye West sample some old Jackson 5 beats and mixed up the “nappy headed hoes” line, looped it, remixed it with Beyonce, packaged it and sold it at Target for $9.99, then maybe the African American community would have been down with it. They would have been like “Oh snaps, yo you heard that new D-Dogg Imus joint? Dis called nappy headed hoes, fosheez Kanye mixed it, Beyonce rips it, it even comes wit a Jay Z pubic hair. Its hotttt boyyyyyyyy!” yeah something like that.

Friday Rant: Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Ok, this is not some sequel to the gayest post ever, put some interesting things have happened regarding my love life that I have wanted to share with my readers. I am officially the biggest cocksucking, asshole, in the world. In the last 6 months, I have had one girl tell me that I have ruined the last seven years of her life, and she wished she never met me. Then recently my girl friend, off and on for the past 5 years, told me over a voice message, and I quote, "the last five years of my life did not exist, you do not exist, forget you ever new me, your a joke". Those were actually some of the kinder sentiments from the voice message. I still don't know why she left me that message, I feel like it would be pointless for me to call and find out. It seemed like she had pretty much made up her mind on what type of person I was, and it wasnt someone she wanted to be associated with.

The message she left combined with the words uttered from the girl from last summer have really made me do some thinking. Am I this piece of shit asshole that these two girls say I am? I mean it is tough to just shake it off, when these girls would rather have not ever met you, than admit that any of the long duration they knew me was worth it. I listened to that message four or five times before a calming peace came over me. So these girls hate me, they hope to never see me again, I am a piece of shit, however, I must have had some qualities that really made them like me. I mean you cannot hate someone as passionately as they do without loving first, I dont think it is possible. Maybe the reason they hate me so much is because I wouldnt love them back, not that this is a good reason to hate someone, because I do and did care about both of these girls, and never wanted anyone to get hurt.

The thing that now has me worried is I have obviously have putten up this wall, I open up to girls and let them get close, then when they feel comfortable and want me to open up to them and give them the love they so desperately need, I do something that for sure will get them to hate me. In the latters case, I showed up at her house at 6 a.m. with a hickey on my neck. At first I thought this was just me in my drunken stuper, however now I feel like the reason I went over to my ex's house, is subconsciencly (wow I butchered that spelling) I wanted her to hate me so we would have some closure in our relationship. Maybe I am more comfortable with a girl telling me that I am a fucking asshole and "a joke" than I am with opening myself up and allowing myself to get hurt. Either way, and what I am trying to say, is I don't think these girls hate me. I think they are frustrated that they never got what they want from me. I hate stupid analogies especially one about cards but fuck it, its my blog. I am not going to put all my chips into the pot, unless I know I have a good chance at winning. If I dont think the money is worth it, then why risk your entire stack.

Ok the poker lesson is over, but I want to end with this. Ladies, it is not that I am not capable of loving, it is just I am not going to love or show any vulnerability, until I know it is worth it. If I feel like it is safe and I can come out a big winner by doing so, than hell yeah I will put all my chips in, cross my fingers, and hope for the best. If I lose, so be it, I have been hurt before. It is that reason that I can happily be called a piece of shit, and a joke of a man, because the words are much better than loving the wrong girl.

Spring Break

So, a few of my college buddies and I have just booked a trip to Cabo San Lucas for Spring Break. I have had nothing but great experiences from Spring Break and Mexico, so I as you can imagine I am getting quite excited. Here is where we are going to stay . The place is fucking amazing and we should have no problem getting completely fucked up each day we are there. The crew of guys couldnt be any better. If I had to make a list of guys I love getting crazy with the names Mark, Lauer, Curt, Adrian, and Geigle would all appear. THough Geigle is on my shit list for knocking my ass out the other weekend. I have a little something planned for him on our snorkeling trip, as I am much deadlier in water than I am on land. I think it has to do with being weightless in the water but I am not sure. One definate shitty part of our trip is we have a ten hour layover in Mexico city on the way back. Not that I want to spend ten hours in any airport, but I dont want to spend 10 minutes in Mexico City. The trip is exactly 3 months away and I have a little chubby already forming.

A Message to the 72' Dolphins: Hurry up and Die!

I don't really care about 16-0 or a team going undefeated in the NFL. Yes it is a big accomplishment, but the ultimate goal is winning the Superbowl and if you can do that with 0 losses or 7 losses more power to you. The fact that these losers from the 72' Dolphins only have one thing to live for now, that being seeing every undefeated team lose there first game, disgusts me. It has been more than 35 years since that team played, and frankly nobody gives a shit about your accomplishments you smug douchebags. I understand throwing a little party when the last team loses every year, but I don't want to hear about it. In fact next time I hope to hear about Mercury Morris, Brian Griese, and the boys, is when the Patriots go 19-0 smashing them into non-existance. To add a little icing on the cake, hopefully the Dolphins go 0-16 this year, proving that karma is a son of a bitch!

Humpday: Hayden!!!

Well the first time i posted pics of this vixen she wasnt even legal, now she is and saving dolphins lives all over the world. I dont care about the eco shit but i do love me some Hayden. Enjoy!

DWI is blowing up!

Well not really, but about a month ago I installed the Web site tracker called Google Analytics.The software is pretty amazing actually. It pretty much tells us how many people is hitting our blog, the amount of different people hitting our blog and how many loyal readers we have and a whole bunch of other shit that you and I both don't understand. So I would like to thank all of our loyal readers, if it wasn't for you...well who am I kidding we would probably still be writing this thing and laughing to ourselves. But it is nice to know that people enjoy what we have to say. So anyway the reason I am posting this is not to rub our ego that is a giant raging boner. But people are constantly asking us, "hey, I loved the post on...., but who really reads your blog" or "you have a blog!? who actually goes to your blog!?" Well this is concrete evidence that somebody and not just friends of ours is reading these jumbled writtens. People from all over the world actually. So that means...you guessed it, we are officially way fucking sweeter than you will ever be! IN YOUR FACE mister "oh you have a blog, who the fuck reads that!?" Apparently THE WORLD! HAHAHAHAHA

...no but seriously thanks who ever you are, you keep us grounded.

not sure if you can read it or not but in the graph chart we top out on Nov. 19th with 73 different viewers. That is major improvement from roughly 20 different people a day!


The map of the world represents people from around the world who have read our blog! Yellow represents zero and green to Dark green tells us that someone from that origin has checked us out! The below image breaks the numbers down like Count Dracula on dat ass.

Don't worry your not alone there are people just like you all over the world, the only difference is your a bigger duesch bag. Thats why we love you, not because we have to!

Weekend

Thoughts from the weekend-

- Porta salad from Paisans is the best salad money can buy.

- I am a much better poker player playing with other peoples money, yet I still only finished a little better than half, in a field of 18. I really only made one bad call, unfortunately it cost me 90% of my stack.

- Cannery Bar and Grill seems to be a cougar hangout and i think we have found a new spot to not pickup chicks. Every other bar in SP, sucks. Well I still enjoy the B.A. and Toot's, but only once a month.

- Umm definately wasnt ready for 6" of snow. I really want a snow blower for xmas.

- Went to a wonderful wedding on Saturday for a friend of mine in high school. A few things from the wedding. First of all the glass work at the Overture, is amazing. I am giving Lake City a pat on the back. I would rate the scenary at the wedding a ten. I dont remember ever being at a single place with that many hotties, let me rephrase that. The ratio of hotties to bums was the highest i had ever seen. I still went home solo. Great speech by the brides father a little excerpt from the first lord of the rings book. That really got me pumped up for the rest of the night. I will be playing lounge music at my wedding, talk about setting the mood. They served free martinis for cocktail hour, I probably had ten. Yeah not the best idea, i have ever had as I puked at 12 after getting kicked out of a few bars with Mikey Broomstick. Not sure what happened to him, but I hopped a cab and went home.

- I think on average I consume probably 4000 calories on Sundays. Diet consists of fried food, more fried food, an occasional dip or cheese spread, topped with some sort of ice cream. To understand this routine you have to understand that weed is my cure for the hangover.

- The BCS blows. I wanted an LSU v Oklahoma for the final. I am not really dissapointed the OSU is in, but how bad did Mizzou get hosed. Finish number 6 in the BCS ahead of Hawaii and Kansas. There only two losses came to a team ranked higher than them. The just beat Kansas last week, yet they are not in a BCS game and Kansas is. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

- I cannot believe that I actually made the playoffs in fantasy football. I am consistently the worst fantasy football owner year in and year out, in one of my leagues this year I held off the defending champ and took the last playoff spot. The slipper still fits.

- I love the baseball hot stove season, and I am hearing a lot of rumblings that the crew may move Ben Sheets, and possibly move Capuano for Scott Rolen. This move would move Braun to the outfield where he wouldnt be such a butcher. I have much faith in Doug Melvin, but his last couple deals are head scratchers. Linebrink for three solid prospects (I understand we got a draft pick when Linebrink left offsetting the prospects a little but I still dont like the trade) and also the Doug Davis for Johnny Estrada and Vargas deal, we basically just gave away Estrada for a bag of batting practice balls. Davis though unspectatular, could really net us a nice player in the off-season with virtually no pitching available to sign. Still he did assemble a really nice team so I will not judge by these last two deals.

- Making the reservation for our xmas dinner this week, so if you are interested, in doing the prime quarter dec 22nd let me know by wednesday.

Say It Aint So Coach

My cousin Tim and I got into this hilarious email debate on Wednesday only lord knows what about, but if I recall it was a debate about my favorite team is better than yours, and Duke sucks! Anyways my cousin was laying into me hard that Coach K is a punk, he is liked because he coaches duke, and everyone should quit sucking his dick. Well TK, as you know that argument went no where, but I do have these videos of these idiot coaches and I contend I would rather have the coach of my team do an American Express commercial instead of getting caught on tape getting a DUI or shooting somebody Dove hunting.

HARD-ON Bucky vs Duke!

Dickie V, I share a raging clue with you tonight. I cant remember the last time I have been this excited for a college basketball game. The two best teams and best coaches in college basketball square off tonight, and creamin the jeans at the very thought of it. It is really setting up to be a great game to, with both teams coming off preseason tournament wins, although Duke probably has the better resume early on. Both of these teams look like top 20 teams in the country and lets face it, in this landscape of college basketball teams, any of the top 50 teams can beat eachother on a given night. With this game being in Cameron I give the slight edge to Duke although my allegiance will be with Bo and Bucky. I really look at this is win-win for me as they are both great schools, with great traditions. I am really looking forward to seeing the cameron faithful getting on Brian "Butch tits", and hopefully seeing Landy throw something sick down as we will be getting a lot of people watching this game tonight, and I am so sick of hearing how unathletic badger teams are. Yeah we have a couple of big white stiffs, but we have some ballas too. Anyways dont try and contact me or reach me from 8-11 tonight, I will be busy.

Only Known Photo of Geigle Kicking My Ass!

Geigle it looks like you knocked out one of my teeth right in the front there. Man, what an evening, and I love the bag of frozen peas with the high life. My dad would be so proud, and to think he thought i got the black eye from football.

However This is Hilarious

Movie Review: No Country For Old Men

Let me start out by saying that I will be going to see this movie again real soon, it was that captivating to me and I feel like even though this movie was fresh in my brain I feel like I need to see it again to get more out of it. This is Coen Brothers movie so I have very high expectations and this movie filled all of them. It is based on a novel and i can best describe it as a story of a two men, one the hunter the other the hunted and there relationship with one another, as well as look inside each of these characters. I know that is a poor description, but I have never seen a movie anything like this before and I dont really know how to describe it. I can say this movie played just like reading a book and didnt follow the formula we see played out with some many suspense movies these days. They were able to make this very intense thriller, without needing any tricks. As far as a script goes the Coen Bros are pretty much the best in the business. This script is brilliant as it delivers a powerful message without the need for pointless dialogues. What is great about a movie playing out like a novel is that the viewer can take much more movie like that. For instance the subtle use of symbolism and great imagery really give you a feel that this movie should not just be taken for its literall meaning. Like any really good book this movie is much more of a character study than a story, and the story is only used to better examine each of the great characters.

This is in my opinio where this movie really excels and probably should be considered as academy worthy. What wonderful characters, I have no doubts that many people could have been good in these roles, but the Coen bros choices were perfect. Javier Bardem, a rising Spanish actor, was absolutly chilling in his role as Anton Chigurh, a hit man for hire, who has turned his attention on collecting 2 million dollars that has become missing from a drug scene massacre. Bardem, is wonderful and should see an academy nomination for this role. James Brolin, who is also in American Gangster, plays the role of Llewelyn Moss, the man who finds the 2 million dollars and though he doesnt want to get involved he sees this as his one opportunity to make it big in america. Watching Brolin square off against Bardem is some truly suspenseful scenes is the highlight of this movie to me. Tommy Lee Jones plays the character of a local sheriff trying to find Brolin and offer him protection. Jones can be heard as part narrator in this film, and his monologue at the beginning sets the tone for this wonderful movie. All three are excellent in this film.

This movie is in my top 5 films of the year, and like I said I will be seeing it again soon. It is a wonderful look at the indecency of man, and a look at the sometimes horrific nature of mankind. It redefines suspense in American Cinema, and I consider this the best movie the Coen Brothers have ever made. That is saying a lot from the man the brought us Fargo and the Big Lebowski.

Weekend Review

A little look back at the Holiday weekend, one that needed to be about two days longer.

- Parents addition is finished and all I can say is wow! Movin on up, 56" tv, dish, wtf mom and dad? Oh the farmer five is no longer cutting it???

- The night before thanksgiving again does not dissapoint. Though I came up empty on stuffing the proverbial turkey. I did get really wasted. Watching Curt trying to not get shut out was truly priceless. Woke up in a freezing cold basement cock in hand which sucked.

- Thanksgiving with the Browne family this year, I have to say this is almost the exact opposite of the Mulhern family get togethers. The Browne side is all about the love of the family and almost every single person is college educated. The Mulhern family, what time is the game on and where do you keep the beers. Needless to say I fit into both camps quite well.

- It is really hard to get people to go out after thanksgiving, ended up drinking alone and enjoying some of the White Widow i picked up on the eve of thanksgiving.

- Friday night was crazy, not sure how i did not puke as the wild turkey shots were flowing. My apologies to the tripod for spending most of Saturday afternoon on the couch. I was really really hungover. Low light of the night for me was definately buying a pizza at bar time only to have Rum steal it from me, tell me he is going to be at the A ba,r and then not showing up. Rum the pizza would have went great with all those bong rips!

- Saturday, Sage Francis wore a bucky sweatshirt on stage and had the mainly emo crowd rocking. Great show, with reasonable drinks, though drinking whisky at 830 in the evening often has a negative effect.

- Randomly ran into this girl that Mark is trying to hook me up with and she recognized me from my picture I gave Mark to give to her. We shared some drinks and a few laughs and I thought things went really well as I was pretty friendly from the all the whicky. Sounds like she is interested in meeting up again. Crazy side note is my roommate noel stole a dwight schrute bobble head from this girl last year, and she sent him a hilarious myspace message about corn holing him. Noel I have to thank you for that as it was quite the ice breaker for me to be able to talk badly about you.

- Sunday funday with another smorgasm of food. Jake big ups on the Chili, man I love me some Chili. Not to mention a big fantasy victory over Jake. I control my own destiny to make the playoffs one win and im in.

Suckeran-Suckatash

Well it is late in the week, I have been dreading this humiliating post, but here er' goes. I didn't get shit opening weekend, barely even saw anything to get a boner over. So I will be going this weekend again. hopefully my luck will change and I can lay to rest a beauty. So in the words of Joe Kane from "The Program"..."Let's put the woman and children to bed and go looking for some dinner!"

Vote For Me or Get a Roundhouse Kick to The Dome

I can only imagine the cool campaign videos Arnold will have if he ever gets his wish to run for President. I know nothing about the Republican Canidate Mike Huckabee. I believe he was the governor down South maybe in Alabama or Arkansas. Although I intended to keep DWI neutral in the upcoming presidential race, i didnt see this coming. Mike, Im behind you 100% buddy!

This Probably Interests Few

But the Supreme Court has decided to grant cert on a delicate little topic none as the second amendment. As we now have a fire arm in the house, a bad ass, Vincent Vega, hand cannon to be exact, this now crosses over to us a bit. I have always been pretty neutral on the right to bare arms, as I live in a small town and never felt the need, but I do love constitutional interepretation.

Weekend Recap

Things I learned from this weekend:

- I am the Derrick Turnbow of the Pimp game, great job at setting up, but i cannot close.

- Slapping your friends in the face never is a good thing, slapping them 4 times in the face will get your ass knocked out!

- Seeing the girl of your dreams while making out with some freaky bar rat cannot help you possibly getting with that girl of your dreams.

- Dont try and kiss your ex girlfriend when you have a clear hicky on your kneck. Rookie mistake, but who gives hicky's.

- If you dont have ice a bag of frozen peas works just as well.

- Dollar beers at the Ghaus is the best drink special ever.

- The fact the Badger football team can win 10 games and play on New Years is hard to fathom.

- Chinese buffets are like making love to me, nobody leaves satisfied.

- Still trying to figure out how a half a plate of mussels costed me $120.

- What is the point on trying to get to heaven if none of your friends are going to be there with you?
