5 out of 4 Americans do not understand fractions

A very action packed and busy week this one is. A lot of arranging collecting researching design implementing type of stuff. And that was just trying to get my WoW to work post patch!! Ah it’s a rough life!!!

Lots to cover lets get rolling…

The Jury is still out on Science

Apparently the green onions used by Taco bell on the east coast was contaminated with Ecoli. For now there is no chance that you can receive green onions with your meal at any location. I think the big story hear is that science has confirmed that the green onions found in Taco bell tacos were actually a natural plant not some rubber by product crafted in China. Sad Panda!!!

Science continued to rock our faces off this week by discovering that there may have been or still be water on Mars. Is it wrong that after I read this I looked into buying land on mars? Martian Mineral Water…. Should sell like hot cakes. Now the only question remains on how to attach a canteen to a dog’s neck and shoot him up there.

When good isn’t good enough

There are few moments in a sports franchise history where it seems the stars align. It began with an uber easy schedule. It continued with a defense returning to full health. It picked up steam as a draft pick meant for special teams turned into a star. Opponents collapsed around them. An air of invincibility surrounded them. In fact they have barely had any challengers. The one hurdle that remains. The one thing that causes us die hards to loose a couple winks of sleep each night. Inconsistency at QB.

Man this kid started out SO hot early this year. But the cocky gunslinger is a lot less appealing when he starts trying for TD’s on every throw. I empathize with the guy. He wants to be the hero. He wants to silence the critics and the boos that now rain down on him simply by him taking the field. The problem is that he is in a land of desperation. If the bears had won a championship within the last couple of years a guarantee the patience level would be higher.

In example. This year Brian Anderson started playing center field for my beloved White Sox. He stunk. He stunk out loud. And the more people got on him, the more he started adding that uppercut to his swing. He was firing for the fences hoping to smack that one ball clear out of the stadium that would shut up the critics and turn the heat off him or at least onto someone else. Well we stuck with this dude all year. Why? He clearly was underperforming at his position. It’s desperation and that’s an intangible that the Sox did not have last year. And that’s why an underperformer like Anderson was able to hover below the radar.

Now we see Rex and believe me I am rooting for the kid all out. It would please me to no end to see this kid play out the rest of the year in the same fashion he started it. However, more than I want the Rex to succeed I want the Bears to succeed. And that’s why we have to give Griese a shot. If only to look at all options before we take the field for the games that really matter.

Oh, and Cedric Benson is a tank.

The biggest most importantest news!!!

The new season of The Shield is 33 days away!!!

Trailer Trash

Go check out trailers at http://www.apple.com/trailers/

The Simpson: - It’s a clever trailer. But this is nothing more than a Dvd Purchase to me.

Hostel 2: - Creepy German overdub!!! Probably will pirate this one just like the last one.

Bug: - Brain Eating Bugs. I think the only thing eating my brain after watching this film will be the lingering pain of two hours lost.

Smokin Aces: - Admittedly I am intrigued. The only problem I see is that I’m not sure if this is a goof or a serious film. My guess is goof rather than a Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrells. Probably piracy at best.

Looks like there are few reasons to visit the theater any time soon. But there is some hope in the theaters right now…

For your Consideration

Best of the pretentious series since Dog Show. However I think the formula is wearing thin. I think they had a genuinely funny idea and script but some of the roles just seemed to be done so blandly and almost too many roles felt like cameos. Just to give the type of nerd who watches the films that unexplainable rush when he see a familiar face in a film. Oh my gosh its that guy! LOLOLOL. Anyhow it’s a good funny film. Probably will be funnier the second time I watch it. I hear that it may be the last from that ensemble which is fitting considering the material. I don’t think they could pull off a better good bye.

Why I am paranoid

It comes to my attention that this week a plane was diverted due to the scent of smoke or matches lingering in the cabin. Rightfully so the plane was quickly landed and people were questioned while the plane was searched. It was then that it came out. Apparently a passenger had started lighting matches in order to cover up the odors that their body was producing.

In their defense: The passenger did have a medical condition…..
Objective response: Matches!! Fire!! Are you nuts!!!!!

In their defense: Have you ever had someone throw up on a flight? You’ll be begging for some matches after an hour of that….
Objective response: Matches!! Fire!! Are you nuts!!!!! You’re on a plane!!!!

Billboards don’t lie

I watched the billboard music awards. Here’s a list of 10 things I remembered

1. Janet Jackson opens. And doesn’t even try to pretend that she just might sorta possibily be almost nearly singing. At least have the class to hold a mic over your mouth Janet. That’s the way the pros do it. Aint that right Bono.
2. Well thank God that’s over on to our next person to yap…. Ah crap here comes Kid Rock. For someone with kid in his moniker he sure is not aging gracefully. But I guess he was never a healthy looking dude to begin with.
3. And now a performance by Fergie. I appreciated her rapping it’s a lot like Gwen Steffani’s minus talent grace vocals and beauty.
4. And now a performance by Gwen Steffani which was a lot like Fergie’s minus the plastic surgery.
5. Aw nice here comes Sulu!! Seriously he inspires me to wear white eye shadow and talk in a creepy voice. Can you imagine him ordering at McDonalds? I did and then I laughed through whatever it was he talked about.
6. When did “The Fray” become popular? Their song isn’t even that strong. I do appreciate his throw back to grunge delivery of lyrics. Not my favourite thing when a crooner piano ballad guy is incomprehensible except for his tagline. I’m going with some form of palsy as the resolution to this question.
7. I always wondered if people who sing in that incomprehensible manner are equally hard to talk to. If Tom Yorke from Radio head and Mush Mouth from Fat Albert sat down at a table would world peace result?
8. Out of no where its time to honor Tony Bennett. Who is the only Bennett I know that can actually sing. Oh TAG!!!
9. Tony B. is a classy dude and well dressed. He said some kind things to his fans I wish he would have sung a song and sent us all to bed happy. Instead we get..
10. To close the show it involved Kid Rock ZZTop and Nickleback.
1. Kid Rock – I humbly admit I enjoyed his debut but yeah I enjoyed eating finger paint as a child as well. We all make mistakes.
2. ZZTOP – Hearing them on classical rock radio reminds me that it’s time to change the dial.
3. Nickleback – Canadas worst import since Jayson J.

Final Thoughts

If you aren’t fighting the power at age 21 you’ve got no soul.
If you haven’t sold out by age 30 you’ve got no sense.
Your getting old when Saturday house parties begin to be referred to as “dinner parties”
