This is what working for my boss is like

Lot's of scotch in big glasses

Everyday Italian momma

Giada De Laurentiis is hot. When I first saw her, I thought that she was a bit disproportioned (head too big, cleavage too small) - but then I realized that I'm just being way too picky. Even if her head was massive, she'd still be 100x better than that Rachel Ray broad. See:

Still hot even with a massive head

No more Big T show?

A few years back, Johnny and Curt Webber introduced me to the Big T Talk and Variety show, which consisted of Ol Tom "Big T" Bennett, sidekick John McGowan, and some hick named "Bones" who would stay off camera and basically agree with anything his boss said (think of him as Big T's baba-booey).

These crusty old timers would sit around complaining about minorities, liberals, gays, punk kids - the stuff you hear someones racist grandfather stewing about in the basement; except this was broadcast on Comcast Channel 23

We used to call in before going out to the bars on Friday night and pretend to be uber-liberals. I asked questions like "don't you think downtown Danbury needs more handicap parking?" or "can you give me any advice before bringing my black girlfriend home to mom?" Big T would go off on one of his rants and we would sit back and laugh - good wholesome fun was had by all.

We'll now it seems that the HatCityBLOG has gone on a crusade against the Big T show, and along with Fairfield Weekly have gotten enough people to call in and complain that the show has been canceled (this news is about a month old, by the way - but I'm just hearing about it now).

You can read about the whole ordeal here.

Now, both the blog and the magazine are right, Big T is an ignorant, racist, swine of a man, as shown in the video below. The problem I have with all of this is that some people actually took this turd serious enough to care about what he says to an audience of 50, most who tuned in to laugh at him.

I say bring back the Big T show!

The art of cropping

Nipples like Christina Aguilera

"Nipples like Christina Aguilera" needs to become a common term in our lexicon. She's setting the benchmark. Look at that thing:

Now compare it to the gum balls behind her.  That's like a five gumballer:

Can we chill with all the neck snapping?

I don't know if anyone else saw the season premier of Prison Break last night, but there were 2 prison yard fight scenes, both ending with one guy snapping the other guys neck and killing him.

Now I realize that in a fight to the death, this seems like a logical and quick way to end it, but here's the thing - snapping necks ain't so goddamn easy! TV makes it look like you're twisting the cap off a jar of mayo.

I'd bet that in the history of the fighting world, 99 percent of all fatalities are caused by long, savage beatings where the loser takes 97 punches and kicks to the dome.

I'm ok with this once in a while, and only if it's Jack Bauer or some kind of man-bear hybrid doing the snapping.
At least throw in a scene where someone tries to break a neck, and the dude in the headlock looks up at him and says "exactly what are you trying to do?"

I have to put a little effort into snapping open a king crab leg. If Wentworth Miller (what with his 7 inch biceps) does this at any point during the Prison Break series, I'm going try to snap my own.

(This is the part where Tim Taylor replies and tells me that snapping necks is actually not that hard and that it's all a matter of leverage).

We played a whole lot of Beer Die this past weekend in Vermont. Check out the official Wikipedia entry for it - certainly exhaustive

Shelley Duncan

I love the new dynamics of this 2007 Yankee team. You've got a nice mix of cagey veterans like Jeter and Posada, young talent like Cano and Melky, and even younger talent like Duncan and Joba Chamberlain.

I've always been a Yankee fan, but now I really like the Yankee players again. I  hated having to cheer for a collection of douches like Sheffield, Randy Johnson, Carl Pavano, etc. The latest incarnation is edgy, what with Joba air-mailing 99 mph pitches over Kevin Youkilis' head and Shelley Duncan signing inappropriate autographs (see below and here for full article):

 

Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night.

The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan’s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the 27-year-old rookie: “Red Sox suck! Shelley Duncan.”
