Congrats on totally blowing it

The Tampa Bay Rays had a wicked season, and I gave them a tip of ye olde cap when they beat my BoSox.

Now that they've lost in the World Series, I must break the bad news...they have blown their one shot royally.

They may beat my BoSox again next year, or they may beat the re-vamped MFYs...but, they won't beat both of us.

THIS was your shot Rays...great job!

This just in...

CBS/British reporter with the sexy voice, Lara Logan has bigger balls than any public official.

She's reported directly from Afghanistan in an area where a tiny house...errr...."base" has been hit 30 times in the past 8 months.

Bitch has balls.

Oh yeah...one more thing

HOW 'BOUT THEM RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing me & my Sis have in common

I have just realized something about us lower-to-middle class Americans and why we love our cars.

I love driving my car. I find it very relaxing and luxurious. So, does my sister...she loves driving. Nowhere in particular...just driving/cruisin'.

If you think about it, the most expensive thing these people like us own is our car. Most of us pay rent to some asshat landlord whose apartment we live in, or even if you have a mortgage...it's one of those 30 year mortgages that you never really envision paying off (especially now).

And even if you have a loan out on buying your car outright (*raises hand*), your car loan is something attainable to finish paying. So, it's like our own personal miniature house we own...it's OUR domain. We don't rent it, we own it. We can basically do what we want with it. We can soup it up with a new engine, we can get it customized. It's easier/cheaper to clean/maintain a car than a house.

I know I love driving down a road to nowhere. It makes me wonder if I owned a house, flat-out, if I would feel differently about my car and about loving to drive so much. Wonder how much of that car love is psychological....hmmm.

I can't be mad

As a Boston Red Sox fan, my team is about to end their season by getting their clock cleaned by the upstart Tampa Bay Rays.

I cannot be mad at the Rays. I want to hate the team that is killing my Sox, but they are an impressive lot indeed.

And once again the old adage proves true...in the baseball playoffs...one thing is key...pitching, pitching, and pitching.

There are still a few innings to go here at the Fens in game 5, but this is all but over at this juncture. I wish the Rays well in the World Series and I hope they kick the shit out of the Phillies.

They Rays have built their team the right way, and Joe Madden is an impressive manager. They will be a force to be reckoned with for a few years for sure, but they better get this championship while they can. Toronto is bound to make another run (rumor is they may be targeting former Red Sox Left Fielder Manny Ramirez. The MFYankees will no doubt seriously re-load with their new ballpark, and massive new revenue streams.

And my Sox will be back next year for sure. To say the least the American League East Division is still going to be the toughest division in baseball for years to come and you have to feel for Baltimore...they are totally fucked. Angelos is such a cheap dirtbag.

As Seen...

when I walked out of a local establishment here in Blue Country, USA. This is why I moved here...but I guess you can't avoid ALL racist bigots eh?

Congrats GM - still proving your stooooopid

According to this article from MSNBC and published media reports, GM has been in talks with Chrysler to merge.

This is the very GM who is in dire financial straits.

This is the very same Chrysler who was swallowed then spit out by a great company like Daimler because they realized Chrysler was giant shit hole.

This deal may not happen considering the recent developments with the world financial markets, but just the fact they were considering the proposition...proves how stupid and myopic the management at GM is.

I have the hound

This is yours truly, writing from the road..I now have a dog. He/She will have a pseudoname as I do. But, to the very few who know who I exactly be...thee package is in transit.

Tip of the cap

Congrats to the Tampa Bay Rays who have just won their first Major League Baseball playoff series, in their first postseason appearance.

They are a young, formidable, dangerous team that will have to be reckoned with in the League Championship Series, as the BoSox and the Yanks have found this year.

Impressive job Tampa, and fantastic job by one Joe Madden, the manager.

As Seen...

...in one of my fave establishments to eat around where I live, I found this sign in the bathroom. A bathroom that I hadn't visited before, despite my allegiance to said establishment.

Doesn't the fact that the "Wash Hands" portion of this sign are in quotes make it if not disturbing, at least off-putting or is it just me?

I know the owner is likely a Russian (as his name is Vladimir...no, not Putin), so perhaps this is the reasoning for the quotes...a language mix-up...but, it's still odd...no?

Should be outlawed

In my view, these should be eliminated as a product completely. Period. End of discussion. Straws themselves are so wasteful. Not only are they wasteful, but the outer wrapping makes it even worse.
