The Africans in my neighborhood are selling the ‘Kingdome Come’ alvum starting today. I’ll hit you with a review later on. So get out there and drive around in the Rent-Ley so that the kids can see what their life could be like when they get a good rabbi.
Can you believe that the total death count in Iraq has almost exceeded three quarters of a million people?!? While I’m on this side bitching about the price for a gallon of hi-test Iraqi families have been taking it up the ‘a’ on some wholesale shiite. The worst part of that news is that we are viewed by the native Iraqi people as an oppressor and this only pushes the tense situation past the breaking point.
With SADDAM convicted of war crimes I wonder what the mood will be on the streets of Baghdad. I don’t think the Iraq people are ready to ‘shoulder lean’ just yet because there is still the 800lb white elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. As an invader and an occupying force we have been directly responsible for more dead Iraqis than even SADDAM HUSSEIN when he was the ‘Butcher of Baghdad’.
Who was dumb enough to tell the people of the united States that we would be welcome in that region with open arms? Better still, who was dumb enough to believe them? While we have the quiz game blowin’ through here I thought I’d find out from you people who you think gets the the ceremonial GOP ‘We’re in control’ axe. Tons of fools are clamoring for DON RUMSFELD, but that’s three years and 3500 American lives too late.
I don’t count the 3,500 American lives more than anyone else who was slaughtered in the desert for EXXONMOBIL’s profit margin. This invasion was just plain wrong and we are seeing our humanity challenged by the devil when we decide that the job over there still isn’t done. That is what’s on the the ballot tomorrow – your humanity and your soul. It’s time to end the money driven murder and bring our family members back home.
ALEX2.0 asked me if I ever had a man-crush before and the truth is that I never held any man in higher esteem than my dad, but if there were any guys that I would have wanted to be my big brothers it would have been MIKE TYSON, BERNARD KING, PATRICK EWING and DWIGHT ‘DOC’ GOODEN. Of all these dudes I would have to say that the DOC was my favorite.
It might have been because DOC was as young as he was, but he seemed so much more accessible to me. Dude had this beaming gold capped tooth and the wild drippy jheri curls like one of your cousins from the backwoods. When he pitched at Shea Stadium it was such a major event. We were all waiting for him to strike out 27 batters in a row. He would pwn’d veteran players with his fastball and then freeze them up like mannequins with a reedirkulous curveball.
At that time in my life I had seen some of my role models fall by the wayside because of drug abuse so I wasn’t shocked or actually disappointed when DWIGHT’s substance abuse issues came to light. It seemed par for the course in the 80’s. Everyone was either on drugs or selling them. DOC faded to black as he succumbed to the addiction monster. In my late teens and my early twenties I found myself trapped by my own addiction demons and I struggled to fight them throughout my post teenage, adult-beta life. I finished a rehabilitation stint in 1996 and that year DWIGHT GOODEN pitched a no-hitter for the Yankees. The first and only in his career.
I liked to think that somehow my life was connected to that of DWIGHT GOODEN in that we have a resiliency that allows us to come back from adversity, but without all of that I still respect dude as a man and I still would be proud of him if he were my big brother.
I swear I can’t win but for losing with some of these football picks. Everybody was getting all giddy over RONNY MEXICO and then homeboy goes wood (no KORDELL STEWART). My Cowboys are another team that needs to be ashamed of themselves for not having the motivation to whup on a Washington team that is clearly going nowhere fast. How ’bout them Dolphins?!? Protecting the legacy of ’72 or whatever year that was. Drinks on the house at Csonka’s Bar & Grill.
I’m not sure why all of you didn’t take advantage of the bonus points, and we ended up with a four way tie for the total combined score of the Chiefs/Rams contest. Since the point total was 48 and no one guessed that exact number I granted a point to everyone that was the closest to that number. AMADEO, EL A in the D, PRYNSEX and SHONQUAYSHAH get 1 extra point added to their score. The other bonus question asked who would score the most on Sunday, the Cowboys or the Falcons. Since the Falcons took one in the ‘a’ (and I’m not talking Atlanta) everyone that said Cowboys for that question gets 1 point added to their pick total this week. SHONQUAYSHAH was the only one brave enough to walk with me on that call. Looks like some of you got burnt by RON MEXICO, ha! Enough jokes, let’s see if anyone was lucky enough to wrest the lead from CANDICE’s moneygrip…
THE DALLAS – 5 pts (34)
CANDICE = 3 pts (38)
TIFFANY = 3 pts (33)
40 DAWG & The Tall Cans = 6 pts (35)
J trademark= 3 pts (17)
LM = 3 pts (36)
AMADEO = 4 pts (34)
JESSE = 3 pts (26)
SHONQUAYSHAH= 5 pts (36)
Mr.KAMOJI = 2 pts (36)
EL A IN THE D = 3 pts (24)
PRYNSEX = 4 pts (30)
S DOT = 1 pt (31)
ALEX2.0 = 3 pts (32)
MISHA = 0 pts (4)
ESBEE = 3 pts (6)
Shit is getting thick up in this piece fa’sho. When I come back this week I will give you a few small rule changes that shouldn’t affect the pool. One of them is that picks will have to be entered a day before the first game kicks off. This way you get your entries posted in case I have some server outage issues.
SHONQUAYSHAH has repeatedly asked about a basketball pool and I would be willing to host one on the site, but only if someone else administered it. Most of you humps are too lazy to even type in complete sentences so I don’t imagine a project that would require some effort as being something in your wheelhouses. I’m just saying…
The kids that comment at XXL are having a shitstorm…
