What Happens When You Cant Shake Out the Booze?

.3 is classified as stupor.

My pimp hand is strong.

The Spine-Tailed Swift is a fast bird.

Fire-bombed or not, this is pretty cool.

Good, but not delicious.

Why Wisconsin is Bad Ass or Chopper's Dad Strikes Again

This from the local daily. Seems rather un-American to lock this guy up. He didnt lie, he just blasted away.

who might have been struggling with a hangover

Wow, for the Second Post in a Row

I just got back from the water closet as I have yuked. I cant believe that I am saying this....I sort of...sort of agree with Screamin A Smith.

How Could You Not Want to Be This Guy

Brian Shouse has been the guy out of the pen for the last couple years. What can you say? Despite the fact that they have a couple of lame asses out there, the one solid has been Shousy. Though the Neddy Bear loves, to the point of man-crush status, the motarino, he did a good job this evening....Sorry for the wait, I just went to vomit...all of the tequila I have had this evening. Way to go on #2.

100% of Nothing is Still Nothing

The muppets take HST.

Useful information for all of you meat handlers.

God I love America.

Time waster.

God also hates hippies. Or the shaggin waggin.

Giddy Like a School Girl

The Brewer guy has his sources tell him that the Crew is looking at trading Oakland for this guy.

The Brewers are looking for relief help, and Street is believed to be available on the trade market, so it's easy to put one and one together to get two.

WOW. As noted last evening, I thought that this may happen a couple years ago. This is bad ass. Young, proven, and relatively cheap. And the 2 more years until free agency thing is pretty cool as well. This would allow for the DFA of Mota. And move Gagne to mop up duty. Good show Mustache. Good show.

UPDATE: Why do you taunt me with possibly being right for the first time in the last 15 years? Damn you straight to the pits of Hades Brewers guy.

Always Refer to Punk Rock

One of the fishwrap blogs has this to say. I dont know anything about the trial, or the people involved, or why this dude is writing about it. But it is always good to see someone think that people who read these things may get some education from a shitty no name punk band.

A witness said he would go see Ford at a place called "curl up and die." We didn't figure he was talking about the Las Vegas punk band of the same name.

For some education for these people, as well as the rest of you, here once again is a bit of the good shit.

Old and not hip to the new shit...Listen, you may learn some things

Question

So the Brewers guy at the local daily proposed a question. The nice people at the JS allow comments to their blog which is nice. I do not comment on these blogs, as I do not like giving the old email to just anybody, and I do not like to be confused with the intellectual elite. Lets look at what we have.

Rickie Weeks was a boon of potential talent when drafted. Though his career has been marred by injury...yet another glass bodied Brewer...his numbers are kind of odd in a good way. Like taking your sisters best friend to the prom. He tends to get on base, and he tends to score lots of runs. I think that this is because he hits for power and is fast. IE, he gets hit by pitches, steals a base, and the scores on a sacrifice. Or he hits a home run. But he does not have a lot of those. So that means that he strikes out a lot. A lot. Is that how you want your lead off hitter to play?

Pitching wins championships. And right now, the pen looks like a sighning table at a card convention, which I have been to a couple of times. Obviously the hitting is there. They can score runs. At least against good pitching that is. Get me a reliever who is better than these guys, and you may, repeat may, just get me a W in the next three years. Note I did not say closer. Saves are over rated and expensive. Or just get me a real lead off hitter. Get on, move over, score..Every time, or at least most of the time.

Since I Cannot Form My Own Opinion

Recently, the blogfather had this to say about the recent dust up over the New Yorker cover. Wasnt there a Seinfeld where Elaine does something for that magazine? And the whole time, George and Jerry are saying that the cartoons are never funny because they make no sense? I guess I sort of thought that same way about the cover. My thoughts were pretty solidified as I read this article on my lunch break(all day) in the office today. Though that website tends to sway to the right hand side of the dial, it is a pretty good piece. You have to get a bit down the page before it starts to get good. You know, there is the usual lefty bashing, and a reference to facists at the end, but there is this quote...

In any case, those about whom the outraged presumably are most concerned are: (1) unlikely to pick up a New Yorker; (2) unlikely to be swayed or disabused of their preconceptions. So what exactly are they worried about?...
That yahoos just passing by a newsstand will see those images and have their paranoid suspicions confirmed?

Yes, Ill admit that it is a bit racist, and upon first glance, plays on all of the aformentioned fears. But come on, the guy doesnt wear a flag pin...just kidding. It is safe to assume that they would publish a cover with McCain curled up in his cell in the Hanoi Hilton being fed a plate of viagra with his cellmate the offshore oil rig. In which case, we would hear the same whining and crying from the so-called intellectual elite in this article, except it would be from the other side. In all, I guess I am not smart enough to get the satire in the cover, but that doesnt mean that it isnt funny to smart people. This lady seems to think that if we start to become outraged at any attempt at humor that we dont get, that is even more frightening. I mean, what is safe humor? I know that "man getting hit in the nuts with football" is funny on many different levels, but getting angry at any type of humor that is insulting to anyone?? Look at South Park. That show has to be catching, if it hasnt already, some of the longest running shows on TV. And they routinly rail on everything. If that is the way it is going to be, I may as well take my toaster in the bath right now.

Just Because Its Sunday

You people need jobs if you dont already have some. My opinion can be found here in the comments. Suffice to say that I dont like it at all. TRADE HIM.

P.S. The world needs less asshole pre-madonna athletes who think they can come and go as they please.

I Dont Want to be That Guy, But...

If only I had a midget to make me some of the action.

Dont trust the church for everything.

Not only delicious, it is now art?

Square is top of cool.

How do you like your morning coffee?

He Is My 8th Inning Guy

There really has not been to much to complain about. 4 games back and the signing of a front line starting pitcher. The bad decision making has been kept to the minimum. You cant blame Neddy Bear when the team is winning right?

Mota when the Colorado runs need not happen.
1 inning pitched, 4 earned on 4 hits with 2 dingers

And the link is from 6/7

"Mota's been our eighth-inning pitcher the majority of the year," said Yost. "We went to our eighth-inning pitcher."

I did not see a numbers match up make this decision, so once again, how do you make it deep into the playoffs with this? The guy has been blowing up like Derrick Turnbow in tough situations and you still go to him when you need to stop runs from scoring?

But you cant blame the pitching for the whole thing. The bats suck W's balls against shitty pitchers.

Criminals These Days

What is it with these people that makes them have to lose the cloths and then become criminals? When I was knocking over gas stations in college, we wanted to wear as many pieces of clothing as possible. Allegedly.

When police made contact with the man, they noticed a wad of $412 concealed in his underwear

What an idiot robber. Stuffing a wad of bills down your drawers is not going to get you any chicks dude. Normal people use socks.

The man told police he had been robbed of his clothing, but that the robber did not want the money or the cigarettes. He described the man as looking a lot like him and wearing the same clothes as him.

And what is dumber than that? I can honestly say that I have nothing funny to say to that.

...was first seen stealing a beer at the 7-Eleven on the corner of Lamb Boulevard and Washington Avenue about 8 a.m.

I may take to the whiskey at 530am before I go to work, but at least I pay for it...with cocaine...that I make in my apartment...with extra baking powder...for flavor. The rest of the second article is mostly not funny, except for the distance that the dude drove the bus. THe best part is in the comments. From Michelle, we get these two gems...

I'm following suit, it's too hot!!I need a beer and I need to drink it naked.

and

What do you guys expect with this heat?!
Is that man really the crazy one or are we?

Now that is laughing at a potentially dangerous situation. A drunk naked dude driving a city bus. Have to love Vegas.

In Leau of the Fact

Some nice lady put my hand on her nekked boob. She told me she was sorry. The show was a good one. I am too hammered to put up the song I want. This will suffice.


This is good too. The guy in the grass is not me.

Pine Trees and the Coat of Many Colors

No one tells me how to eat stuff.

Little known fact...I hate the Doors.

I weep for the future.

Damn hippy.

But Mom, I dont want to be an argonaut.

Glass Half Full of Jake

So I ventured to the world's largest outdoor music festival this evening. Some people like it, some dont. I like drinking outside and not worrying about where I toss my grit. Anyway, The show was good. They played a good mix of tunes, 50% I know and 50% I dont. No worries though, as they played the opening number on Losing Streak, which is by far the best. An interesting thing...People were skanking. I havent seen that since I was young and stupid. There was also a good mix of people my age, as well as the teenie-boppers. I think that they were in 5th or 6th grade when this type of music made a brief but eventful emergence to the top of what ever was cool at the time. But they stil knew all of the words, and they were dancing which makes me think that punk is not dead, just sleeping.

Way to go America

It appears that the US of A is number one in these things. Look...I like the cocaine off of the hooker ass as much as the next guy, but we dont even have this nice lady.

The data also revealed socioeconomic patterns in drug use. Single young adult men with high income had the greatest tendency to regularly use drugs.

Well, I'm glad this doesnt include me. Why cant people just enjoy the legal shit...like booze...and the occasional bong load...and the usual bumper...Wait...does anyone got any gear?

It is a hell of a drug.
