  1. All right. '80s it is, then? Y'know, there's a hard rock cover of "Electric Avenue" on the radio right now. That and the recent hard rock cover of "Careless Whisper" (no joke) makes me wonder what the hell's going on with these radio rock meatheads covering '80s Top 40 songs. Do they feel that the perfect recorded version of, say, "Girls Girls Girls" already exists, and so therefore it would be pointless to cover that or any other song that would be a little closer in style to their music? Come to think of it, there's a Carrie Underwood cover of "Home Sweet Home" out right now, too. Black is white. Cats are dogs.
  2. King Kamala nominates "The Heart of Rock and Roll."
  3. I'm intrigued, but wary. Perhaps, as Boo Berry suggested, we could brainstorm on a more inventive subject for our tournament. "Best song by an artist who has at some point worn a beard." Something along those lines.

    Talking Quarterbacks

    I think this is kind of an asinine argument. Neither guy needed to put up Dan Marino numbers because they had talented teams around them, as the combined 7 Super Bowl wins will attest to. Generally speaking, an NFL QB throwing for 400+ yards on a routine basis is more based on need than anything else, as it's usually a sign that the run game and defense aren't any good. And it's not like Aikman or Montana were Trent Dilfer-esque "game managers" or anything. Both guys were really integral parts of offenses that won multiple championships.

    American Idol Season 8

    I don't really follow that logic. "He tried something stupid, it turned out really awful, but at least he had the courage to try it." What? And the guy's already been eliminated once. How many chances to suck is Anoop going to get? I don't see this rule change having much of an impact on anything. They cited the Daughtry example, but if memory serves he was in the top 5, and thus the rule would not have applied to his situation.

    Your guilty pleasure of the moment

    I saw Huey Lewis and the motherfucking News live and in concert many moons ago. There's no need for reappraisal with them. They are terrible. I recall Aqua being big in Europe when I lived there. They love shitty dance music and novelty acts in the Old Country.

    The 2009 NFL Offseason

    You can kind of see it, can't you? It's not like they're an untalented team, in the way that the Chiefs have been devoid of real talent recently. The problem in Oakland has been bad coaching and bad (sometimes even bizarre) management. With yet another top 5 pick soon to come into the fold, I can kind of imagine this team competing with San Diego for the AFC West. I don't see Kansas City being any good and I suspect that Denver is going to miss Shanahan a lot more than they thought they would, so the window is open.

    The MagicJack Offseason Bowl

    As well as recruiting and coaching a Heisman winner. But if you don't get the Rivals.com love, then what does any of that even really mean?

    Sublime Re-Unite After 13 Years...

    All this talk of white trash culture has gotten me to thinking about those Fast and Furious commercials that are running right now. I was working in Texas when the first of those movies came out, and every Limp Bizkit-loving hick at my job was souping up his shitty car to go drag racing in the vast nothingness that surrounds Abilene. Seeing these new ads reminds me of those idiots. Also, does it seem like Vin Diesel has had some portion of his brain removed recently? The scenes in the trailer are obviously supposed to be dripping with tension because of some sort of poignant reunion, but the guy looks like he just woke up. "A lot's changed." "dimp." "You guys know each other?" "hep hep hep."

    Sublime Re-Unite After 13 Years...

    Not sure if the Kottonmouth Kings have ever broken through, but Slipknot actually had a fairly sizable modern rock hit a few years ago. "Wait and Bleed" or "Watch and Bleed" or something along those lines. And the lead singer is in another fairly successful nu metal band (no goofy masks in this one) whose name escapes me at the moment. Slipknot is bad, but I suspect that they're leagues ahead of Kottonmouth Kings or ICP. As with BNL's "One Week," it's the white guy rap elements that make those two acts particularly cringeworthy. It's a little unfortunate that my sister has such typical suburban stoner taste in music. She has these sort of hippie leanings (which I guess might just be due to the pot), but she usually just listens to Tool and Sublime.

    I was told the Cannibus Cup, but I cannot vouch for the veracity of that statement.

    Sublime Re-Unite After 13 Years...

    Sublime actually compare pretty favorably to one-time proteges Slightly Stoopid, whose music is so relentlessly awful that it makes me wonder why I ever liked music in the first place. They're a real favorite of my sister and her husband, so I get a heavy dose of that shit on a regular basis. Even worse than them is the somewhat dissimilar but no less reprehensible Kottonmouth Kings. My brother-in-law sometimes goes into this whole thing about them winning the (I guess) prestigious Cannibus Cup, as if that's going to be the key piece of missing information that's going to finally convince me of their brilliance. They might be worse than ICP.
  13. I'm not paying for shit right now, but the rent in my previous apartments was generally somewhere in the $600-$650 area. And that's the whole thing, so I was only paying $300 or so for my half of it. Utilities usually weren't much, I can feed myself for less than $40 a week, and I haven't so much as sat in the driver's seat of a vehicle in five years, so I never had to worry about paying for any of that shit. But then a woman wanted me to improve my life, made me start living beyond my means, forced me into debt, and shit got all fucked up.
  14. My lung collapsed when I was in the womb, so I have this little scar just under my right armpit from where they cut me open and reinflated it. My recollection of the event is foggy at best.

    The 2009 NFL Offseason

    This sort of makes sense, although part of me wonders how well flashy superstar T.O. will be embraced in redneck Buffalo. I still really can't imagine the Bills doing any better than a wild card spot this year.
  16. Fortunately pretty well, or I would have been living on the streets after my life fell apart last year.

    Cowboys release Terrell Owens

    How many playoff wins has T.O. actually been a part of? Off the top of my head, I can only think of San Francisco's win against the Giants in 2003. He didn't play in either of Philly's wins during his one full year there, and Dallas didn't won one while he was with them. Not like that's all his fault or anything, but it's worth noting that the guy's track record in putting teams over the top in the postseason is less than stellar.
  18. I shave in the shower, as well. I find brushing my teeth in the shower to be unsettling in a way that I can't quite explain, so I never do that.
  19. Let me ask you this, Inc: What's your policy on peeing in the sink?

    American Idol Season 8

    It also works in Anoop's favor that he goes to school in North Cacalac. Raise up! Take your shirt off. Wrap it 'round your hand. Spin it like a helicopter.

    Should've done "Humpin' Around" instead.

    The Truthiness is a fucking stinky twatfart

    "Less Than Zero."
  24. I'll blow my nose in the shower every now and then, but that's the extent of it. No need to piss in there, given that the toilet--which is traditionally my favored urine receptacle--is right next to the shower. I also cannot jerk off in the shower, due to blood pressure issues. If I do, I become a pale, jittery mess. Hardly worth it.

    The Truthiness is a fucking stinky twatfart

    Thank you. I even went so far as to use the search engine to try and figure out the origin of this joke, but to no avail. So, at long last, someone please explain to me what the deal is with Willy Aybar and why his name is in the subtitle of almost every thread in the sports folder.
