Grab Bag Fridays: I'm Wiggin' Out!
(1 Cent): Doctors - But Mostly Patient - Stumped
Yes ... I again solidified my place in Hell for this cent's title, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. First, I would recommend you read the article, then read the rest of what I have to say. Don't worry, it's a short one ... about 3/4 of a Web page:

This article was posted by Nony with these words to say: "My life SUCKS, your life SUCKS, but mostly her life SUCKS ... Just a little fodder for the canon that is: Two And A Half Cents.
Amen, and ... amen, Nony. This really sucks. I'm curious to know what happened, although probably not as much as Claudia and her baby's daddy. I mean, what do you say? What do you do? I imagine the awkward silences that followed in the hospital's waiting room were palpable.
Honestly ... this is the stuff you see in Family Guy or something ... it is just so horrendously tragic and random. How does something like this occur, in the year 2007? I could understand if it was currently 2007 B.C. ... but now? With all of this so-called technology and medical advances ... this happens? And you wonder why I'm hesitant on paying health insurance ... shoot, I'll do my own quintuplet-bypass surgery and take my chances ... at least I'd be buried with all my limbs.

On a tangential note, while reading this article, my eyes happened to glance across an article entitled, "Caught On Tape: Armed Men Rob Adult Superstore." How freakin' desperate do you have to be for some booty? What goes through these people's minds?!
Potential Robber/Porn Addict #1: Dag, yo, I really need to see some boobies ... that's it. Where's my gun? I'm goin' downtown and takin' that ish, yo. Who's with me?
Potential Robber/Porn Addict #2: Don't worry, I got your back ... at the store and back at home.
Potential Robber/Porn Addict #1: Uhh ... yeah ... let's just get in my 70s van with no windows and figure out the other stuff later.
Yes, not one, but two men robbed the superstore (note: not store, but superstore ... are there any other kinds of adult stores other than a super one?).
I might have said this before, but I'll say it again: Every day that I see things like this in the news, I wonder how many more seconds will pass before God decides enough is enough and just sends a celestial nuke and burns this earth. For real. I'm locating all of my fire extinguishers as I type ....
(2 Cent): You Should Be Ashamed, Fools!
I'm going to attempt to combine a sports article and a pet peeve article ... here it goes ....
You know what really chaps my cheeks? Stupid people voting for players that have no business being in the NBA's All-Star Game.
So, Shaquille O'Neal was voted in as the starting center for the Eastern All-Stars when he played only the first 4 games of the season (yes, played, not missed) ... and had averages of 14 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 1.3 apg, and 1 bpg. Even on averages alone, Shaq didn't qualify for "all-star" status. Combine that with the fact that he played in only 4 (!) games and you have ... your 2007 Eastern All-Star center. Pathetic.
I understand that the starters of the All-Star Game is a popularity contest ... but shouldn't there still be some criteria or rules that the voters need to follow? Such as, an eligible player must at least play in 20 games. 15 games? 10? Not 4!
The man-child who was voted in by the coaches for the bench as a backup center should be starting ... statistically, anyways. His name is Dwight Howard, and he averages 16.8 ppg, 12.1 rpg, 1.7 apg, and 1.8 bpg ... while playing in 46 games. I voted for him 5 times (I filled out 5 ballots). It's just lame that the unknowledgeable "fans" of the NBA voted Shaq in just because of name, and not because of performance.
If this is how it's going to be -- anyone can vote -- shouldn't we just rename the All-Star Game to the All-Popular Game? Yeah, so more people know the name Shaq than Dwight Howard (until about 2 years from now ... everyone will fear D-Ho the way they used to with Shaq) ... but being popular shouldn't be the equivalent of being an All-Star. It just shouldn't.
I suppose this especially chaps my said cheeks because Shaq played in only FOUR games ... that's just ridiculous. 'Nuff said.
(1/2 Cent): What's The Dealio, Yo?
So, as you have seen, these entries throughout the week will be hit or miss ... hopefully not too many misses. As for this weekend ... everyone enjoy the Super Bowl ... I'm in it for the commercials and the grub! And, why not ... go Colts!
**Random Thoughts**
-- I'm lovin' the song by Young Jeezy featuring R. Kelly called "Go Getter" (or something like that).
-- Everyone should be saying a collective prayer for Prince not to have a wardrobe malfunction while on stage at the Super Bowl's halftime show ...
-- D-Wade killed some of my fantasy points last game, with 12 turnovers (which equals negative 12 FP's) ... he also killed the average NBA fan by getting to go to the line 24 times by himself ... Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron combined don't get that many (look it up).
-- I've only sampled a couple of songs, but Ghostface Killah's CD Fishscale seems to be pretty money ....
-- My fantasy player of the week was again D-Wade ... with 52 FP's for the week ... the Busdrivers improved to 11-2, and are winning this week 335.5 to 268.5 so far ... powered by Kobe's monster game, which equaled 67 (!) FP's.
-- Is it bad that I find the commercials more interesting than the actual Super Bowl game itself?
-- My last two basketball games (in a league) were a 17 point outing in a W, and an 11 point outing in a loss (where I was the tallest guy for our team) ... hey, go easy on me ... it's only 8 minute quarters and time doesn't stop ... let's hope tonight's game brings out the best in me and my team ... and we can try to salvage our 1-2 season .....
-- The most disgusting analogy I have ever heard occurred early this week (describing some kind of food): "It tasted like the sweaty butt crack of a fat clown." I've never been the same since.
