Simpsons baseball classic.

Miller. Up for Rangers game part Deux? (minus post-game arrest)

Williams get slammed

There are a lot of crazy gringos in Costa Rica. Most are old or retired or came here to run away from something. Nonetheless, they speak English and I happen to write for the only English speaking publication in the country.

Often, these crazy people write me. About two weeks ago, I wrote about the comparisons of attending both the US inauguration and the Costa Rican one.

Yesterday, I received the following, adressed to AW:

"Do you wear a dress? I'd think by the gushy simpering girlishness piece you wrote about the Transfer of Powers that you probably wear a plaid jumper with a white blouse and white socks...and a Mickey Mouse wristwatch.

Maybe you spend too much time with your mom and sis?

Grow some balls.

Heart.

All the touchy-feely shit is just that: It's shit.

And you're brushing your teeth with it.

(At this point, I was like "oh snap" cuzin, but then he went all crazy anti-semite with some of the following excerpts)

"The Jewish controlled media controls your country"

"An FBI contact told me that Rahm Emmanuel sends Obama out for Kosher Pizza"

"Brent Lubahn quiefs like a guppy"

"Obama wears penny loafers with white socks and or khaki trousers. That punk is as down as Doris Day"

"Obama wears a yamuakha"

"Nick Butz raped an ab-roller"
"Take 20 years off Chinchilla (Costa Rica's female Prez) and give her some acid and she might be a good-looking middle aged woman"

"Lee Portillo won a Newberry award for Fiction"

He then closed with:

"Boy, you need to lay off the Michael Jackson videos"

(A la a Highlights magazine, some of the aformentioned quotes may be altered from their original state. Can you find them?)

Name This City

Faust, here is my entry fee to your World Cup Pool

KFC didnt give me a receipt for some reason, so here is the final 1/6 of the sandwich as proof that I consumed it in my garage on Sunday afternoon. I hope it satisfies the deal the same way it satisfied my stomach. It was fucking delicious, but never again!

Mitch Albom's real ears have never been photographed in their entirety. First one to find a full picture of these wings wins free q-tips for a year. I've never noticed this before, and I give the guy credit for keeping them shrouded from the world.

I think the guy seems like a dick.

good movie

Those who do not like Jimmy Buffett concerts are those who have never been. Last night was #5 for me and their will be plenty of more to come.

Best Commercial Ever?

Thoughts on this flick? When I first heard about it, I wrote it off as a surefire piece of shit. The SNL skit isnt even funny to me, but it is getting some serious pub. I assume it will either be a heaping helping of donkey shit or a classic. Is anyone partial?

Side note: this blog has improved the quality of my life considerably.
Side note 2: going to a bachelor party in Tampa this afternoon and we have 10 moustached men playing a TPC course tomorrow morning. Hat tip to Faust for the bachelor party moustache phenomenon.

For anyone with buyers remorse this proves that Nick belongs.

i feel like our t-shirt chair is neglecting his duties.

This is the best hip hop album I have heard in a long time. Well, it's also one of the only albums I have really listened to since the Hot Boys.  Regardless, it was good enough for me to post it so think about giving it a try.

Wale, a big Seinfeld fan, mixes classic lines from the show that flow well with his lyrics. He also has a newer album based on Back to the Future. If nothing else, the guy is doing something different, and his music is inspired.

I am not going to be the guy who simply posts a humerous YouTube video everyday, I promise. The stars have aligned and I have seen a couple vidoes the last few days that I feel are worthy. I have done this to my girlfriend several times since viewing this and it continues to make me happy.

I bet they are.......yes they will.

we the fuk isn't, and soon... but what i do know? i'm just a dumb alarmist that pays no attention to the world around me.

williams: cr should be safe.

i carry loaded weapons everywhere i go. this is just the tempest. welcome butz!

Wow, it is good to be back and I am humbled by the votes of confidence you have all bestowed upon me. I have been fretting over this first post since yesterday, as I feel a great deal of pressure to come hard out of the gate. After a fifth of whiskey and a sleepless night, I made the decision to let the game come to me, so to speak. I am not going to force this first post, but instead play within the offense and look for my shot (at which point Bear will foul the fuck out of me). So, this is it. My first post. I feel.........at peace.

Butz

King Lames

Did anyone else truly enjoy watching "King" Lames shoot 3/14 in a 32-point Game 5 loss at home? Me too.

I think "King" Lames is the most over-hyped athlete in sports. He wasn't even close to hitting his shots Tuesday. They were off-the-side-of-the-rim bricks. It was ugly. Lubahn-esque, if I dare. And I do.

I don't know what commercials look like these days in the Untied (intentional) States, but I assume LeBrenda is everyone: Vitamin water, Powerbars, Tonka Trucks, Noxema. Why? In his career, he has had one important game in the playoffs, when he scored like 27 points in a row against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals 2007. He was then swept in the finals.

That's a pretty weak resume for a King.

Oh, and as for his 32-point drubbing at home on Tuesday, I indeed was "A Witness".

I hung out with Nick Butz this weekend.... Butz is great... blah blah blah.

Anyway, he wants in. He thinks he can bring something special to the blog. I can't argue with him. So, there is a poll to your right. Please vote him in or out.  It take 100% of the voters to allow him in.  His major concern was Chambers vote.  Please only vote once.

Have you seen this man?

Name: Lee Portillo
DOB: 6/20/1968

From today's NYTimes: (I am transcribing this as well...I don't like links, but we can't paste text?? Poop on thee, Blogger)

In early December, Julián Castro, the newly elected mayor of San Antonio, visited the White House to attend President Obama's national jobs-and-economic-growth forum. Castro was one of only five mayors in attendance and, at age 35, the youngest. When his turn came to speak - the subject was the creation of green jobs - the president looked at him, midway down the long conference table, and said: "I though he was on our staff. I thought he was an intern. This guys's a mayor?" The other participants - world-famous economists, environmentalists and politicians - burst into laughter.

"Of San Antonio, Texas," Castro said evenly.

Obama grinned. "I'm messing with you," he said. "I know who you are."

(The rest of the article goes on the french kiss your new mayor's culo. It's a little too complimentary if you ask me, but, seems like SA's got a pretty solid hombre in the mayor's office)

Yeah for Politics!

Enjoy a Cold One Fellas

being the subversive prickface that i am, i'll instigate the religion and politics conversation. blogs are forums of sorts. how many people really pay attention to us anyway? having imposed some of the "sword" side of the american religio/politico no-separation-of-church-and-state-bane-of-my-existence-bullshit on a culture resembling marx brothers' films, i feel suited to discuss these topics. i'll talk sex too, and even belches. i think it's good to get things out among friends, what are friends for... by no means am i trying to get a conversation going about war, muslims, or anything like that, just figured we like south park, and generally have a disdain for o'reilly.

we'll see where it goes? o'reilly is prophetic in this country, which is scary.

"they're courageous"-o'reilly(fundamentalist/extremist muslims)... and distorted-me.

Hey Gents. I'm at the local gin joint watching my Spurs and the fiery francophile Tony Parker and I wanted to share this gem with you all. This is Ginger shakin' her tush with her sistas...see?!
