Why Isn't the Two-Man Luge Embraced by the Gay Community More?

Doesn't make sense; You'd think they would.

P.S. Did you notice how instead of arranging the pictures side-by-side like I usually do, I arranged them top and bottom? You're welcome.

Cry and Wap

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

On Tonight's episode and Finale of, "Daisy of Love" there is a GREAT cry and wap scene.

12-Pack was eliminated while they were all standing near the runway of an airport. He wasn't free to leave immediately after, however. They made him watch her and the guy who was chosen over him get all huggy and kissy. Then she tells the winner that she is going to spend all day with him, away from the other remaining contestant. 12-pack had to watch all of this, then the two of them getting in a helicopter and leaving his dumped ass. Then he was allowed in the limo to take him the hell out of there.

Nice to see television direction that does justice to The Cry And Wap.

I Knew him ath Jameth.....he Uthed to Come by da Poo'

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

You're about to find out what Detroit Tiger Marcus Thames and Long Duc Dong have it common.

Sadly I can't embed this video, but you can find it here. You'll have to watch it for the rest of the article to make sense.

It's of the Chappelle's Show sketch about Mr. Ed and Flipper being racist. One part in the piece about Flipper was an interview with a man who had known Flipper for quite a long time. So long, in fact, that he knew him before he was known as Flipper. He in fact, knew him as James. But he has kind of a lisp so he pronounces it "Jame-th". He later goes on to pronounce the word "pool" as, "poo' ".

I am mentioning all of this because the only baseball player nickname I like more than "Oh hey Lee" for Derek Lee, is the one for Detroit's Marcus Thames that relates to the above Chappelle's Show sketch.

His name is Marcus Thames, but it's pronounced "Tems" like the river in London. So I like doing the voice of the dude in the Chappelle's Show sketch and say, "I knew him ath Thameth", but pronouncing it so it rhymes with "James".

Honorable Mention: Saying in the style of Long Duc Dong: "Bet you a big Ortizer, huh?" when David Ortiz steps to the plate.

It Took me a Little While to Figure out why This was Funny

Apparently the base runner was obstructing the letters "Fig" on the advert for "Frank Robinson Figuring Giveaway".

That cameraman should be kissed on the forehead.

Does Ron Weasley Really Bring Anything to the Table?

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

I watched a few minutes of a Harry Potter movie on HBO. I've seen 2 or 3 of the HP movies and enjoyed them. But it just dawned on me: Does Ron really bring anything to the table? Does he exist solely to complicate things betwixt Harry and Hermione? Harry is obviously worthwhile, as is Hermione, who seems to be the female version of Harry and keeps him on his toes. Ron just kind of exists. If he weren't there it'd be obvious that Harry and Hermione are gonna end up together, so he's necessary only to make you question/wonder if Harry and Hermione really will wind up together.

Do you think if Harry Potter were written by a dude it would be two girls competing for Harry? It worked well for the Archie Comics.

Harry Potter is kinda like Archie, in that both involve a teenage love triangle. Plus, that HP actor who just got busted selling reefer looks like he could believably be nicknamed, "Jug Head". The similarities are basically endless.

Better With Boxes: Joseph Cornell or B.F. Skinner?

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

And yes, I did say "B.F."

Which achievement to thought/their respective field/culture: Psychologist B.F. Skinner's, "Skinner Boxes" or Joseph Cornell's, "Cornell Boxes"?

My money is on B.F..

And much like Snoop Dogg, I got my mind on my money, if you know what I mean.

Something that America's Funniest Home Videos has Taught me

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

White Trash love to do a lot of mean-spirited practical jokes to each other. Like, the kinda where the honoree of a party gets a cake in the face, or dads trick their 6 year-old kids and point-and-laugh insecurely at them afterward. Something at least severe enough that they get yelled at an hour later from the victim and their relationship is awkward for a little while afterward.

True Story

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

Last night I visited someone I know that's staying at a youth hostel in my neighborhood. While I was leaving I was walking past a table of 20-somethings who were having a conversation. As I walked by a mild-mannered, studious looking guy I overheard him exclaim, "My friend got beat up by a hooker!".

Best overhearing job of my life. That's what's known as good ear-handling. It's like remote control handling, but with ears. Conversely, if you randomly spot something random, yet worthwhile, that's known as good eyeball handling.

Important Things

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

1. Martha Stewart is kinda the chick MacGyver

2. What happens if you are wearing your contact lenses and you get arrested on the spot doing something really bad and have to stay in jail for a few months? And your lenses are the kind you replace like everyday. Does the state give you saline solution a case and prescription refills? Do they go to your house and get your glasses for you and bring them to prison? They can't do that because that could be turned into a weapon. They'd have to be state-issued prescription glasses. Is that what they do? I hope if I ever get arrested and locked away I'm wearing my glasses.

All Praise be to Allah. I Remembered This Clip Randomly

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

This is from the show called "Thank God You're Hear". It's Improv-y and the special guest is dressed in a costume to a scene he doesn't yet know. Behind a door there's a team of improv players who have all prepared for the sketch and they're about to be joined be this person who knows nothing about what its about, so he has to improv.

This is Harland Williams doing it and its one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

My New Punk Band

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

We're gonna be called The Sphinct.s, and our first three albums shall be titled thusly:

1. Riddle of The Sphinct.s
2. Autoerotic ExSphinct.siation
3. Put a Nose On The Sphinct.s

While consulting Polekat $lim regarding the logo of the band, I suggested the Sphinx placed in front of The Sarlaac from the Return of the Jedi. His idea was much better however: The Sphinx with sphincters as eyes.

Lastly, When the Ladies Man, Leon Phelps, performs with us we will be known as, "Leon Sphinct.s".

New Link Added to Recommended Links

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

I'm adding a link to the columns of NY Post sports writer Phil Mushnik.

His M.O. is more or less voicing measured and fair criticism of the sports media, New York and National. When you and your friends are watching sports and complain to one another about awful announcing or annoying announcers or sports networks, you're doing what Mushnik does. His usual targets are Joe Morgan, Chris Berman, Kenny Mayne, Mike Francesa, Michael Kay, and ESPN as a whole. Mushnik is most critical of blowhards and announcers that are more concerned with catch-phrases, becoming a charicature of themselves than they are describing the game to viewers/listeners.

Just to Review

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

The word "Chipotle" is in fact pronounced "Chip-ot-lay". The "T" comes before the "L".

There is a groundswell of support for pronouncing it, "Chip-ol-tay". That is not correct. The succession of letters "-otl" is not pronounced "olt", in spite of popular belief.

Silvio is the best. I'm gonna call Casey Kasem and dedicate "Simply The Best" by Tina Turner to him. Then I'm gonna keep my feet on the ground and reach for the stars.

This probably isn't safe for work.
