It's Not The End of the World As We Know It... So Please Shut The Fuck Up
Well 12/21/12 is here, and I am sorry to say to all the "Preppers" out there that their time and money was once again NOT well spent. Over the last several weeks, and especially the last few days, people everywhere have been talking about the world coming to an end because of the expiration of the Mayan calendar. Facebook news feeds have been full of jokes, images, and even serious messages to their beloved friends "just in case" this was the end of the world. There were thousands of "End of the World" parties for all the drunks looking for another excuse to get hammered one final time before Apocalypse only to wake up with another Friday morning headache. And there are even some extremest/nut-heads have been spending thousands of dollars preparing for this moment for years. For instance, you can purchase $72,000 for a sealed bunker tube to comfortably fit their family of six. Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars!!! For what reason?! So you can wake up today surrounded by hell?!!
I have been anxiously waiting for 12/21/12 to arrive not because I was anticipating planet Nibiru to collide with Earth, but because this whole thing is fucking retarded! Hell, not even the Mayans themselves were believing the world was going to end today so why and the hell did everyone decide to take this date and not shut-up about it? I thought that when I woke up this morning that it was finally over, that was until I walked into my office only to hear my Secretary singing REM, and now thanks to that little incident the song has been stuck in my head for the last 3 hours. This incident was followed by an invitation to an End of the World party tonight!... It is almost as if people WANT the world to end today!
How many fucking Armageddon predictions do we have to go through before people finally appreciate life and decide to make something for themselves?! What the hell is the point of constantly preparing/worrying about something that we can do nothing about. If it's the end, then it's the end. I understand for a lot of the people I know, it was nothing more than just humorous fun. But it got annoying. It was like everyone was trying to think of the best way to make the exact same fucking joke. A few examples from taken from my current Facebook newsfeed (post non-apocalpse) - "When I have kids, Im going to make them watch 2012 and then tell them I survived that shit" - "How disappointing, I guess Im going to have to do Christmas shopping after all" - "Hmmmm, I wish I didnt celebrate the end of the world last night - I probably wouldnt feel so bad today!" And of course, about 5 times someone posted this "It's the End of the World As We Know, And I Feel Fine!" --- This is just to quote a few, I have since defriended these people.
Tomorrow the sun will rise on 12/22/12, and thank God, not only for another day for me to kickass but these broken record jokes will finally stop!... At least until 2018.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS
NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN RAP SONGS: 4
The Spurs are the league's exemplary modern franchise, but they're an old bunch playing in a small city who ball with little flair. That said, pound-for-pound they can stack up their rap name-drops with anyone on this list. There's Tim Duncan, who was rhymed with "Joe Buddens" by Lil Wayne on Da Drought 3, then there's Tony Parker, who was rhymed with "Bob Barker" in a very rare and based line from Lil B. Topping them all, though, is Argentinian Manu Ginobili, whose marquee facial feature gets used beautifully by Roc Marciano: "The four-four chrome is long-nose / Call it Ginobili."

Stephen Jackson: "Stay strapped-up we G’s in action / Knock out orders like Stephen Jackson" — E.S.G. ("Fuck With Me")
Tony Parker: "Light-skinned? Nah, a little dark on TV like Bob Barker / Love is lost sometimes, nigga, ask Tony Parker" — Lil B ("Reggie Miller")

I am man.
So, I attempted to install a light fixture this weekend. I had my doubts. I am not "handy." When I turned the power back on, walked back to the light switch flipped it on, and the light actually came on- well, I can hardly explain the overwhelming sense of raw masculinity and satisfaction I felt. To a lesser degree, I get this same feeling from changing a light bulb.
My intention is not to brag. (Well, maybe a little.) But also, just to ask the group if you share this sentiment and what tasks (greater or smaller) have you accomplished that left you feeling like Al Borlin on HGH.

Trevone Boykins
... He is suppose to have a cannon of an arm too. If he can pull off more runs like these then it will be Casey who??
GO FROGS
Oh No, Not Again
Rangers dropped 9 of last 13 and are first team in MLB history to piss away a 5-game division lead in final 9 games of season. They were in first place for 161 games of the 162-game season.
Keeping the faith for a playoff run. Fearful that there's a Tex-Hex. I think Thurman Thomas is starting in RF tomorrow. Jim Kelly is pitching.
PS - F'ck David Freese.

We're 30.
We're not that young anymore. Miller
has more salt-n-pepper than a Golden Corral, Butz is an active AARP member, and
Lubahn's oldest kid just applied for college. Wrinkles are showing up, hair is falling
out and watching Tivo-ed episodes of "New Girl" with a bottle of
Pinot is more enticing than going to a bar called Vertigo to stare at girls you
won't talk to on a Saturday night.
But we are still young. We still have good metabolism, are the same age as
professional athletes, and only get referred to as "Sir" by
commission-earning teenaged bell-hops with pimples.
We are physically still considered
"in our primes" for the most part, though still feeling young and still acting
young are entirely different. Some elements of our youth and 20s should be
retired, shelved and locked away post-30, only to be looked back upon with both
fondness and shame, sort of like every other bad habit we've given up along the
way.
Ten
Things to Give Up at 30
You went enough times between 21-30 to
know you aren't missing much but a feeling of remorse, $11 drinks and clothes
that wreak of a girl named Licorice who has two kids and lopsided implants.
9. Getting TOO drunk in public.
With your friends at a summer lakehouse or at a bachelor party, great. At a wedding or work outing or throwing up at a bar called anything O'Shea's on a Thursday is no longer justifiable.
8. Wearing a backwards hat.
Do you still think Fred Durst is cool? Neither does anyone else.
7. Wearing T-shirts with clever slogans.
Showing up at a party or bar wearing a t-shirt that said something like "Beer is the reason I get up every afternoon" was hard to pull off five years ago. It is now impossible.
6.
Posting on Facebook more than 1/Week.
Sure everyone is doing it. Politicians, Bill Gates, LeBron, Snooki, Gino Weiss. Doesn't mean you should. If you're getting a haircut, think Chik-Fil-A fries are the best, or got some great shots of a Galveston sunset, no one cares. If they do, and "Like" your bullshit, it is because they too have as little to do as you do.

If they do, and "Like" your bullshit, it is because they too have as little to do as you do.
These are drinks you used to drink for the purpose of getting drunk or because you didn't know what else to order. We are not 20 and this is not The Library or The Cellar. Hold off on the group order of Red-Headed Slut shots (and see #9)
4.
Jewelry.
If it is not a wedding ring, Goose's dog tags from Top Gun, or a hand-woven
bracelet given to you by a young El Salvadorian boy before he died in a
mudslide, take it off. Eventually you will look like a Pizza shop owner or an
indie rocker. You are neither.
3. Movie Quotes.
Yes, the movie was funny and yes a line from it might be applicable at the present time, but Billy Madison came out in 1995, and 11.3 million people have now quoted the "wolfpack" speech from the Hangover. Try to be original because "they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!" (to make up our own jokes)
2. Video games, Fantasy Sports and Cargo Shorts.
If any of these apply to you, you likely know you are indulging in something past its expiration date. Whether it's playing Call of Duty or reading through CJ Spiller's projected stats versus the Bengals, you are fully aware you could and probably should be doing something better with your time. Like ridding your drawers of cargo shorts.
1. Smoking Weed.
Rapper Rick Ross referred to smoking weed as taking a vacation. You zone out, go numb for a few hours and have a mini-mind adventure. We've taken that adventure hundreds of times, and it is fun, but do you still need to "go on vacation" Tuesday night after dinner?
Any and all arguments appreciated. Please include any additions you think worthy of making the list.

I read a story today about three lions escaping from a Guatemalan circus and eating a "yegua." I didn't know what a yegua was in Spanish so I looked it up. Below is the defintion from wordreference.com. Apparently a yegua is one of three things: a mare, a whore, or a bonehead. I like to think that the lions escaped and ate a whore, though maybe they ate the bonehead that left their cage open. (bonehead featured above)
yegua
Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary © 2009 Oxford University Press:
yegua
Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary © 2009 Oxford University Press:
yegua sustantivo femenino
- ( Zool ) mare
- (Chi fam)
- (persona torpe) bonehead (colloq)
- (puta) whore (sl)

"The Best Beer"
I just thought of this question and then I immediately realized the complexity. So, I'm bringing it to the blog to decide. This is not about choosing the most complexly-hopped 169 minute IPA. This is about the best beer anytime, all the time. When thinking about your answer of "What is the best beer?" please keep the following parameters in mind.
• This beer is good in any occasion
• This is your "dessert island" beer
• This is your beer for all seasons
Rules
- A beer will be considered if it is nominated and that nomination is seconded by a second party
- Any beer motioned and seconded will be lin the final vote
- You may petition, whine, clamor, spew venom, etc... for your beer
- If you nominate a light beer you are out of the IC effective immediately

BLACK FAUST
CHICAGO _ The rarely seen and elusive black Faust was spotted at the uber-hipster mecca of band snobbery, Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Square last weekend.
Black Faust, wearing his trademark life source bracelet from the planet of Endor, also donned knee-high rain boots despite clear skies, a hat reminiscent of the 4-Non Blondes and a pair of macro-made polyester shorts. He also sipped Earl Grey tea infused with a tickle of gin and lemon zest, known as a "Meantini."
"Every heard of it?" He asked as he slurped the last few drops of it from a silly straw. "Didn't think so."
The black Faust, not to be confused with his white SXSW Passion Pit starved Texas doppleganger, was haughty and aloof when asked which band he was most excited to see.
"I'd tell you," he said. "But I'm sure you've never heard of them."
Black Faust was seen later in the day pretending to know most of the lyrics to the Sleigh Bells hit "Comeback Kid," before skipping off with the rest of his "beaucoup d'amis," as he refers to his group of non-French friends, to catch Atlas Sound's hit which he called "Walkaround."
"I'd tell you," he said. "But I'm sure you've never heard of them."

"It's Walkabout," his friend Kiblet corrected.
Black Faust then looked at him, spit on his leggings and said, "You're out, Kibshit."
When leaving the park Saturday night, Black Faust was asked if he'd be back for the festival's close on Sunday.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" He asked. "Gawd no. Vampire Weekend is opening. What is this, 2010?"
He added that he also had to work the 1-9pm shift at Walgreen's the next day.

Wimbledon Final
In case you were an idiot and didn't wake up this morning at 7 AM CST,... Our boy Roger Federer (not to be confused with AChub Williams) knocked off that Serbian asshole Novak Djokovic in 4 sets. This was the first time Federer came into a match at Wimbledon as an underdog since... well, since before Ghost Bar happened.
This will set up a historic match-up against Great Britain's own Andy Murray in the Finals on Sunday. Murray knocked off Frenchman JoWilly Tsonga in 4 sets becoming the first Brit (..Scot really) to REACH the Wimbledon finals since 1938! Murray has overcome a lot of pressure to get to this point, now the question is can he become the first British Wimbledon champ since Fred Perry in 1936?!
Wimbledon is the one time every year you should be watching tennis. So set your alarm early on Sunday and watch it, don't be an idiot.

Julian Assange is actually Lucas Morey's father.
Can't see a picture of this guy and not think he looks like the Duke if he was an Australian whistleblower that exposed the US State Dept and not a medical device salesman.
Weiss who were you trying to rationalize as look-a-likes at the lakehouse?

PANAMA CITY BEACH — A man suspected of taking “bath salts” went on a rampage outside a restaurant early Wednesday, pulling 30 feet of guardrail from its moorings, toppling a life size statue of Elvis Presley and telling police he was “God’s chosen one” before fighting them, according to police.
Ryan Michael Shropshire, 20, of Santa Rosa Beach, was not arrested easily on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence. Pepper spray and a stun gun didn’t have any effect on him, and it took six police officers to get in him into handcuffs and leg restraints, according to arrest reports.
Those reports give the following account:
Panama City Beach Police came across Shropshire just before 5 a.m. Wednesday sitting the parking lot of a business near the All American Diner, where a 30-foot section of guardrail had been pulled out of a concrete entrance ramp. Another guardrail was merely bent. The support cable holding a life size statue of the King had been pulled off, and Elvis’ torso had ripped from his legs.
The damage is estimated at more than $1,000.
After getting that out of his system, Shropshire walked to a nearby Purple Haze and sat down in the parking lot. When an officer approached him, he jumped to his feet, began screaming violently about being “God’s chosen one,” and challenging the officer to follow through with a warning to Tase him.
Shropshire, who is 5’10” and weighs 200 pounds, according to the report, would not be restrained despite several ultimately unsuccessful takedown techniques employed by the first responding officer. With the help of five other officers, Shropshire was finally subdued, except for his head, which he continued to bang on the ground.
He was suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance — police believe he was using a synthetic drug commonly referred to as bath salts, said Chief Drew Whitman — so he was taken to the hospital for treatment before he was booked into the Bay County Jail on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence.

The Omen
On my run this morning a crow flew into the back of my head and scared the every living shit out of me. It also kinda hurt. Fuck crows. I'm happy I never saw their movie.
From some internet source:
Every year starting in end of May to the end of June is when the new babies are born and crows will regularly and actively attack anything that gets close to its nesting area.
