Finally, Formula 1!

March 11th, 2010

First race of the season this weekend in Bahrain. That means either a 5 or 6 or 7 AM start time. We have a time change SK doesn’t participate in the day of the race, so I am confused.

Big changes this year – Michael Schumacher is back, there are a tonne of new teams, and cars are NOT allowed to pit for refueling! Plus – the cars are longer. Check out the comparison between this year and last:

Nice (think Kevin from The Office saying that…)

American Apparel looking for the best butts for an ad campaign. They started with like 1400 contestants and here is one of the 3 finalists. You can probably cast your vote if you google around…

Another Cheap Shot to the Head

March 7th, 2010

When is the NHL going to put a stop to clownish cheap shots like these? Marc Savard, the Bruins best player, was carried off the ice on a stretcher after this ELBOW TO THE HEAD on Sunday.

I know I am biased – as a Boston fan – but something has to be done about this kind of crap. Matt Cooke didn’t even get a penalty for it.

Hup Holland Hup

February 18th, 2010

Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer had no time for an American TV reporter when she tried to cluelessly interview him after he won a Gold medal at the Vancouver winter games.

She asks him his name and what he does – he asks her “Are you stupid?” Kudos to him. Cocky and rude, yes, but she had it coming.

Salt in the Wound

February 16th, 2010

Poor guy – or sad moron? Not only does this Strangers fan get DENIED on his marriage proposal in front of a crowd of thousands; these play by play announcers rip him for it!

I think you might want to be a little more SURE of her answer before going jumbotron with your question-popping. Some people are just that clueless, I suppose…

One US Athlete To Watch For

February 9th, 2010

Obviously I hope we annihilate the US team at the upcoming Vancouver games.  But I might be convinced to root for this Yank skiier.  “Best Ever?” says the cover, maybe “Hottest Ever” too….

Shoulda Been In Porn

January 26th, 2010

…is what this Boston weatherman might be thinking.   We get this station on cable, but I can’t recall ever seeing the forecast presented in quite this way.   Bro’s comparing the amount of snowfall to the size of his $%^$!!!  Is this even real?  Sure looks like it.  Check it out.  It’s almost like a Ron Burgundy moment!

I’m With Coco

Last Tonight Show with Conan O’ Brien.  Whoopee, Grandpa Walton Leno returns after the Winter Olympics.  The show has been stellar this last week – no surprise, what are they gonna do, fire him?

That was the problem with the show from the get-go, they tried to tame the Coco.  And a watered-down Coco is no Coco at all.  So nobody cared.  Now, as he’s going out, the show’s like it always should’ve been and it’s great.  Go figure.  Watering down anything never works.  Examples of it all around us.

Anyway, this stoner dude did a tribute song to the red-pompadoured giraffe:

At Least It’s Something

January 20th, 2010

I really wanted to go to the GNR show tonight.  But somehow I neglected to ask the proper channels for tickets at the proper time.  True, I could’ve ponied up the dough to buy a coupla ducats – but I am away on vacation next week and money’s too tight for the unexpected expense.  Guess I’ll just have to live vicariously through Ballsy’s tales of how great it was…

So instead I was at home watching hockey and was pleased to see the Habs goalie, Carey Price, get run!  We almost had an old-fashioned goalie scrap (I was hoping…), but it all fizzled out pretty quickly.  It’s not just that I dislike the Habs (but it doesn’t hurt), it’s moreso that I’ve always thought the goalie should be fair game when he comes out that far from his net to play the puck.
