Kevin Nash is Old, Tom Waits is the Beast

1.) WWE…why?  Oh goodness how you dropped the ball. Kevin Nash?  Really?  Really?  I was so excited to see the SummerSlam results and then so let down to find out that it ended in the most TNA-rrific way possible.  Having the gross hair-dyed corpse of Kevin Nash “spring” out of the stands to power bomb the “triumphant” (Cena’s foot was on the ropes) C.M. Punk allowing Alberto del Rio to cash in his Money in the Bank Briefcase. Damn you HHH.  Look, just cause you’re friends with Kevin Nash, doesn’t mean that he should be allowed anywhere near WWE…

Humble as I Mumble to Spaghetti Junction

1.) Did you know that the Outkast classic Stankonia is 11 years old?  Can you believe that?  Do you feel old?  I do. Stankonia was one of my favorite albums in high school, but I hadn’t listened to it in years.  In fact, as time passed, I started to feel like it was a tad bit overrated. Rolling Stone ranked it as the 359th greatest album of all time. Pitchfork had it at 13 of the greatest albums of the 2000s. Well, I listened to it yesterday.  I am listening to it now.  Is it overrated?  Hell NO!  If…

Remain Calm! All is Well!

Thank goodness this week is almost over.  At times, I’ve felt like Kevin Bacon trying to calm that unruly mob from Animal House, screaming “Remain Calm!  All is well!”  Only to be trampled to a flat piece of flesh on the concrete. Now we know why the Raiders didn’t vote on the new CBA, right?  It’s never easy losing your two of your better players, and, as a fan, it sucks.  It especially sucks when everyone is snickering about it. But hey, Al Davis is either hated or loved so I guess it is to be expected.  Anyway, lets…

So Long and Thank You for the Lack of Memories Part 2

You know, when I was in 3rd grade, we had a big water gun fight at my elementary school.  I had a hold of a pretty solid Super Soaker 50.  I was lighting kids up left and right, all was well with the world.  But then I saw this sweet looking contraption lying on the ground: it was a HUGE water canon connected to a back pack that held an ungodly amount of water. I threw down the Super Soaker, sprinted to the canon, put it on my back, strapped up and was ready to tear the roof off…

So Long and Thanks for the Lack of Memories

I like the part where Nnamdi said that he wanted to play for a winner and then signed with a team that has never won the Super Bowl. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Nnamdi…you broke my heart.

You Know WhattiMean?

1.) Did you know that all of the Ernest movies up until Ernest Rides Again grossed over 25 MILLION dollars in theaters?  Holy crap that is insane.  I know it doesn’t seem like much, but if you factor in that tickets were so much cheaper back then, Dats a LOT of Dimp. Why am I bringing this up?  Because a few posts back, I mentioned that I went to Best Buy and passed up on a 3 for 1 Ernest DVD, Castaway, and Jerry Maguire.  Well…that mistake was rectified last Friday as I not only purchased those but the…

Hope Solo ain’t all that…and other things

1.) Look, this trend has gotten out of control.  Whenever a female athlete is on center stage and is MILDLY attractive, us male folks go off the deep end.  How many guys did you hear say “I wanna marry Hope Solo!”  “She is so hot!”  Blah blah blah.  Fact of the matter is, she’s kinda pretty, she is OK to look at.  She’s not THAT good looking. In fact, she’s a little man-ish. You can point out photo-shopped, cropped pictures all you want, but the girl on the field, in the net, the real girl, wasn’t all that attractive. …
