Another week, another game. And…talk about bizarre. Remember in my preview, when I mentioned my opponent had Peyton Manning in the game, but would surely sub in Jake Delhomme, because Manning’s team isn’t playing this week? Well, he never did. In fact, he ALSO left in both of the defensive players from the Giants…therefore, wilfully taking 3 0′s on the week. To call this decision baffling is an understatement. Including the time it would have [...]
Originally, I was going to post something about the US election, but, really, nothing has changed. McCain’s still angry, Obama’s still not really saying anything, and both VP choices are still odd. How can you blather on endlessly about change, and then pick a long time insider like Joe Biden as your running mate? And how can you blather on about being a human being with a functioning brain, and then choose a batshit crazy, unbelievably vapid twit as your running mate? Seriously…SARAH PALIN…was the BEST option…you had available?! A woman who believes that she has foreign policy experience because Russia’s next door, and Vladdy Putin has to fly through Alaskan airspace on his way to Washington. A woman who believes that dinosaurs and humans were gallivanting about together on Earth a few thousand years ago. A woman who, upon being elected mayor, promptly asked the town librarian what the best way was to begin a book censorship campaign. A woman who, despite constant coaching from every thinking campaign insider the Republicans can find, still comes off in interviews like a vegetative retard. I actually like John McCain, I’ve respected him for a number of years, but this…there is no word for this, so I’ll have to make one up. Glaggodroski!
Anyway, yeah, that’s pretty much the entire spiel on that topic (there ya go, you now get TWO topics in one post! A bargain!). So, after enjoying some coffee whilst talking with Mr. Harll the other eve, we began reminiscing about bad movies. Not “Wow, this is HILARIOUS” bad movies, but “Wow…I really just want to die” bad movies. And this has inspired me to try and compose a list of the ten worst films I have ever seen.
Now, I’ve seen a LOT of bad movies, so I felt I needed to whittle this down a bit. First off, if I found the movie entertaining, it doesn’t qualify. So, Extreme Ops is out, Battlefield Earth is out, and so on. Second, I have to have watched the ENTIRE awful movie. Therefore, Idle Hands is out (I made it 45 minutes through that turd). They have to be films that I LOATHED. Movies that, when I think back and remember them, hurt. This was a very, very painful list for me to compose…I kept coming up with more and more reprehensible pieces of shit that I had completely forgotten about seeing in the first place…this could have been a Bottom 37 list if I’d really wanted it to be. I found myself actually feeling a tad queasy at various times during the composition of this list. Some of my choices may surprise, some are blatantly horribly obvious. Without further ado…
DRuMbeats of WarHaHA! See what I did THERE? What with the capitalization, sort of hinting (you know, if you consider being ball-peened upside the head ‘subtle’) at the theme of this missive? I can LEARN, dammit! Anyway, yes…as anyone who has seen the multitude of articles about Spore’s DRM, complaints about it, problems with it, etc. that I’ve shared recently has probably figured out, I have somewhat of an axe to grind with DRM. Well, not with [...] |
Horde UpdateSo, taking a page from the Johnstone book of Fantasy Football updates, I figured I’d type out a bit of a matchup synopsis now (also, I’m rather bored. We’ve been taught a new inventory system at work, which I picked up quickly, so I got to come home.). It’s not going to be dead bang, because some of the other owners in this league have a habit of waiting until Sunday morning to do their [...] |

Meet the Quarterback!So, having posted a few things regarding Ben Roethlisberger’s proclivities for surviving no-helmet motorbike collisions with cars, boozing it up, and skanks, I figured I’d throw a few pics up just to offer some testimony to why I revere this man as a bearded God (even though I’m planning on benching him again this week. Early season Baltimore defense – scary…dickish Rivers facing Raiders defense does not. Oakland really should consider throwing Darth and the [...] |
Darth Raider is Somewhere Right Now, Drinking Away the Tears.So, yeah, this is one of the odder videos I’ve seen in awhile. The Asian guy is a Bay-area sports reporter, the dude confronting him is a President in the Oakland Raiders franchise who is none too pleased at a question the reporter just asked the coach (a little background is required here…first off, the Raiders might be the worst run franchise in sports. Secondly, the owner is a paranoid control freak. Third, he keeps [...] |
Run! It’s the Horde!Here we go for Week 3. Again, I’ll start things off with a quick position comparison. My opponent, the Colorado Calvary (I’m assuming that a misspelling), is also 2-0, so it’s an interesting matchup (I’m #1, he’s #3). QB – I’m making a big change here for this week’s game. I’m going to let Ben sit on the bench and drink for a week (seriously, I’m going to have to track down and post one [...] |
I………Liiiiiiiiive!Yes, the previous lack of Peer Pressure in an operational sense has been replaced by…well, a return of the workings of said pressure by peers. Mmhm. It seems Pete’s server decided it didn’t like my blog, so it tried to shut me down, man! But nobody holds down Peer Pressure…NOBODY! Everybody’s tried to…parents, that lame ‘responsible friend’ everybody has and only hangs out with because his parents try to fill the void in his life [...] |
The Horde Doth RumbleIndeed it doeth. (Indeed that did sucketh the ass). So, a little prelim here, as I take a look at my matchup this week, with the Northern Horde facing off against the Pack o’ Pain. At QB – Big Ben “Eats Windshield For Lunch” Roethlisberger of course starts for me, while my opponent throws out Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers. Both have high potential for big stats, considering Ben is playing Cleveland, and Aaron is up [...] |
The Perpetual Motion Machine Straight to HadesYes, it’s election season, ladies and germs! Aren’t you THRILLED! Aren’t you EXCITED! And who can blame you…after all, we get to choose from the same collection of milquetoast rejects who were on the ballot LAST time around. Yes, it’s Election Time in Canada, and the only people possibly excited are news managers who now have a chance to bump up the CanCon when discussing elections, rather than having Canadian pundits spout off for hours [...] |
