SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

It’s intra-mural softball season again and I have decided to get in the game to hopefully shed some of this winter hibernation weight.

Well, for me it wasn’t like I was hibernating, but rather drinking too much alcohol.

Anyhoo…

It’s time for me to take out the dusty old glove and the rusty old bats, but you can best believe my footwear will be crispy as ever, at least for the first game.

I’ve got my eyes on the NIKE MVP series of baseball cleats. These are like the ones that MANNY RAMIREZ wears.

mvp metal

Everyone on my team pitches a bitch with me for wearing metal cleats. Its not like I have ever slid. Evar.

I just like wearing what the pros wear even if my game is mostly fanboy meets waterboy.

mvp molded

I’ll prA’li end up wearing the molded cleats though since I will be playing first base again this year.

I’m something like MO VAUGHN and RUSTY STAUB combined with Mo’ Better Blues and a rusty nail. You don’t want no parts of this mang.

Fanboy Massacre…

fanboy wolvie

We are starting to see that some of the studios think they can put syrup on dogshit and call it pancakes. I’m not gonna say that the Wolverine movie sucks asscheeks like that, but the truth is that is was overhyped for the end product being as lame as it was.

It sucks to be a fanboy sometimes because we have to sit and watch as the canon of our favorite characters is destroyed in order to make entertainment vehicles to satisfy an audience that wasn’t riding with us from the gate. I accept the fact that some changes have to be made to storylines or else they would never fit into a motion picture entertainment format (2hr), but don’t start making up shit.

Wolverine is the kind of movie that I imagine Disney would make if they were controlling Marvel studios. All the fake emotion with no passion. This isn’t Aladddin. This isn’t Hurby the Love Bug. This isn’t 101 fucking Dalmations. This is supposed to be Wolverine. Known for blacking out and going into a berserker rage and shredding bodies like sheets of paper.

I’m not mad at you Marvel. Y’all got the Hulk right on point the second time around. I hope you let someone with the knowledge and the love of these characters to control the production on part two. If I don’t see blood there will be blood (no DANIEL DAY LEWIS).

BUZZ THIRST

pink

I remember when this chick Pink first hit the scene. They had her on some bawdy R & B chanteuse type shit, but that didn’t really work since Black folks only fux with Jamaican girls who dye their hair pink. . And even then not so much (see Patra)

Pink’s next shot was as a country western singer, but that failed too for all the American Idol and MySpace singers that are coming into the music business. Pink can’t seem to catch a break in the pop singer pecking order. CRISTINA AGUILERA gets married and pregnant. CARRIE UNDERWOOD goes from American Idol to stadium status (yes TONY ROMO). Even BRITNEY SPEARS makes a ballyhooed comeback. KATY PERRY kisses a girl, and likes it?!?

KATY PERRY swagger jacked Pink’s lane right in front of her face. Pink was supposed to be the sexually ambiguous singer, but now she is stuck being the dykey tramp with the motocross riding boyfriend as her beard. Pink is hell’a thirsty for buzz. My advice to her is to hurry up and fill in the lane as the pill addicted former pop tart before AMY WINEHOUSE overdoses.

Getting Away With Murder…

eff the popo

The awesome visuals for Eminem’s latest song ‘3AM’ translate nothing short of the notion that Eminem is going to kill shit again. The video is a maniacal tour de force of implied mutilation, decapitation and general horrorcore.

I love it to death as a piece of musical cinema, but one side of me wonders if any Black artists could get away with a mass murder music video, and not have to deal with the same people that put MICHAEL VICK in jail?

PrA’li not right?

That’s why it’s great to be young, gifted and white.

Can You Hear Me Now?!?
