Great Video

People forget how awesome this song and video were/are. It's timeless. Well, except for when Busta shouts out the Flipmode Squad. They sure as hell aren't timeless. I forgot how great Janet Jackson can be. Janet, I luh you baby booboo and Imma holla atchu when I get off lockdown.

Remote Handling

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter

(If you are unfamiliar with what I mean by "Remote Handling", read here.)

Once again I was thinking about what an awesome remote handler I am. Then this analogy dawned on me.

Candles: Candelabra :: Remote Controls: My hands.

It's just their natural habitat and where they belong. My remote handling has been so good lately, I'm thinking about calling my hand, my "Remote-elabra". It's like the black belt of remote handling.

Now you may think, "That sounds a lot like bragging." Of course you would be correct. It is. I am that good.

Lookalikes 32.0: Jonathan Toews and Drew Bledsoe

For this one you have to think of Toews (pronounced "Taves") as a younger version of Drew Bledsoe. You'd have to grant that a 21 year old version of Bledsoe would have to look a lot like Toews.

Don't Toews me, bro!

Valentine's Day Music for the Disenfranchised

It Isn't Gonna Be That Way- Steve Forbert. Relatively obscure and highly recommended, I just couldn't embed the video on this page.











Now that you have listened to them go buy a bottle of rye whiskey and drink it neat or on the rocks or in a highball while watching casablanca. by the time bogey gets to his "of all the gin joints in all the cities in all the world and she walks into mine" line, you'll be in similar shape as he and feel it on a deeper level. Then even moreso by the time he gets to his awesome, "...with a comical look on his face because his insides had just been kicked out." line, followed by the alcohol-fueled invective, "Or aren't you the type that tells?". not that i'd know from experience.

dick

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter

i know that member of the georgian luge team died today. i was on a sports website and read the headline 'luger died' and for a second i thought it was about indiana senator(r) dick lugar having died. then i realized it was spelled differently, and i wouldn't be reading about a senator's death on a sports website. i wonder if anyone else made that mistake tonight.

but it begs the question, better porn name: dick lugar, or dick luger?

Hunker

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter



I hear the word "hunker" only when I hear the phrase, "hunker down". Is there any other way to hunker? If someone calls you, and asks what you're up to can you say, "Oh, just hunkering", or, "Don't bother me. I'm hunkering."?

To illustrate that I used a picture of a hunker, hunker burnin' love, so to speak.

Sarah Palin is Roman Helmet'd by Stephen Colbert

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter


Righties and Lefties argue whether Sarah Palin has sold her soul to the Devil, but after defending Rush Limbaugh's repeated use of the word "Retard", it is clear she has at least sold her soul to him. After demanding Rahm Emmanuel's resignation over use of that word, she came off as a righfully protective mother, and defender of decency, even if a resignation was a bit extreme, I see where she was coming from. Then Limbaugh had to go hog wild and bathe his audience in the word "Retard" to attempt to prove a wrong point. So how did Palin demand his resignation? By saying it was fine because Limbaugh was using "satire". Palin knows that Rahm Emmanuel cannot damage her brand, because she writes off his criticism as elitist, or socialist or plain-folk-hatin'. Knowing full well that Limbaugh could ruin her brand if he so chose, Palin acquiesced and fudged the definition of satire to wrongly defend him.

So what did that win her? Stephen Colbert pissing out the flames of her dignity as it burned to the ground.

I Told you Quality Road was Nothing to F with

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter



I plagiarized this from here. Steve Crist can tell it better than I can.

Quality Road's powerful runaway in the Donn Handicap Saturday earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 121, the highest awarded to any race since Midnight Lute's 124 in the 2007 Forego and the highest in a race longer than a mile since the Commentator-Saint Liam Whitney of 2005. (Update: Revised from a preliminary 122 to a final 121 Sunday morning.)

Breaking his own track record of 1:47.72, set winning last year's Florida Derby, Quality Road won by 12 3/4 lengths in 1:47.49 over a track that was not particularly quick in the day's other five dirt races. The only other dirt race on the Saturday card at the nine-furlong distance was the opener, where $6250 older-filly claimers were timed in 1:53.18. Three one-mile races went in 138.04 (older males $25k claimers), 1:38.44 (3yo Alw N1x) and 138.51 (OF N1x) and the day's lone dirt sprint, for 3-year-old maidens, was run in 123.22.

Quality Road's performance looked as good as it comes up on paper. He stalked Past the Point through six furlongs in 1:09.87, shot past and extended his lead from 5 lengths after a mile in 1:34.78 to more than a dozen at the wire. Granted, he was the only Grade 1 winner in the Donn, but the second- and third place finishers had each won four graded stakes including the G2 Suburban (Dry Martini) and G2 Ohio Derby (Delightful Kiss). It was a huge effort against a respectable field, one worth savoring:

You Might Cry and Wap.....Like Peyton Manning's Team

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter


Since no one needs me to break down the X's and O's and re-re-re-re-re-explain why the Saints won, I'll put in some bullet points of stuff I thought during the game.

- Phil Simms, great to hear you again pronounce Manning as "Maneen" and him as "eem" as in, "Maneen had eem wide open and completed a big pass!"

- The commercials really sucked, just like last year. And how un-Budweiser-like was it for them to not have one good commercial that was superior, but instead they carpet-bombed the commercial market with tons and tons of average-at-best commercials until we just relented and were like, "ok fine, it wasn't that bad I guess I'll accept it". Oh wait, that's been their ethos for a century plus.

- Are Charles Barkley's buns so big that it affects his posture?

- What are the odds that Colts coach Jim Caldwell is actually highly expressive, but he just does so much botox that we can't see his epxressions? I texted 4 friends that question during the game and I got one friend's answer as "100000000:1" and immediately before that I got "3:2" from another friend. So it's somewhere betwixt there. Probably.

- Who thought it was a good idea to bring in the Who? I've never heard of anyone my age listening to them. And why the hell does every super bowl band have to be foreign? U2, Coldplay, The Who, The Rolling Stones, etc. And it goes for award show hosts- Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, etc. Does anything watch American football and think, "Man, this makes me want to listen to the Who. Just the vibe of this game really reminds me of Pinball Wizard. Dude, put on your The Who album. What do you mean who don't own one????!!!"?

-It seems like there have been a lot of feel-good champions recently. The Patriots broke the Boston curse, then the Red Sox were the biggest deal possible, the White Sox broke their drought, the Phillies eased Philadelphia's pain, Peyton Manning finally got his Super Bowl, The Saints won it for New Orleans. Even Zenyatta's win in the Breeder's Cup Classic was historic because she was the first chick horse to ever win that race.

- Why does no one ever yell at Reggie Bush for voluntarily stepping out of bounds every time he touches the ball? Can some Photoshop Wiz doctor a pic of Walter Payton crying in heaven while watching Reggie Bush do that? Thanks.

- I don't even know what commercial will emerge as the consensus best. The only two that even made me emote were the Emerald Nuts + Pop Secret commercial where that weirdo dude trained humans, and the Hyundai commercial where the toys came to life and went to Vegas.

- That onside kick was so effing radical. Nice to know the guy who muffed it is married to Hugh Heffner's ex-girlfriend. I wonder if that made Bob Guccione and Larry Flynt smile.

- I was impressed at how clean the game was: minimal penalties, only one INT, only the one minor fumble that wasn't turned over, the only missed FG was 50+ yards, not that many drops, few punts, no back-breaking pass interference calls, pretty solid officiating, good third down conversion %ages from what I recall, high completion %age for each QB, neither special teams nor defensive units gave up anything resembling a big play, etc.

- Nice to see Shockey get a ring. I don't love the guy, but you had to feel bad for him when the Giants won without him.

- Great job by Garrett Hartley, the Saints kicker, who everyone seemed to assume was a liability at best.

- This game really seemed to illustrate the importance of field position. Through 3 quarters each team was playing relatively flawless football from each side of the ball, with the only minor difference being the Saints average drive starting at the 30 and the Colts starting at their 15.

- After Indy went up 10-0 I thought it could get ugly

-Speaking of which, Tony Dungy's prediction was, well, dung-y.

More Proof ESPN Is Classless: Merrill Hoge Manties Edition

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter

ESPN analyst and ex-NFL player Merrill Hoge was playing in a celebrity football game in Miami and had some technical difficulty with his uniform. The problem? He was wearing a thong under his shorts. I don't know where to begin.

1. What dude wears thong underwear?

2. EVEN IF you did prefer thong underwear, if you are in a game of flag football where your opponents will constantly be reaching for something fastened to your shorts and then yanking, shouldn't you dress accordingly? And by "accordingly" I mean, "wear underwear that isn't a thong, or women's underwear"

3. #2 + this will game would have a ton of media cameras around.

4. I just threw up in my mouth

5. This didn't happen to Brian Boitano, Anderson Cooper or Ryan Secrest. This is a former Pittsburgh Steeler who played a man's man's game and now analyzes it on television for a living. Even if you love lacy thongs, just lie to us and act like you wear regular undergarments.

6. Do you think Sisqo would say that Hoge has dumps like a truck and thighs like 'what'?

7. This reminds of the time in one of the Naked Gun movies where Leslie Nielsen got in a fight with a dude with a turban and when he punched him and knocked it his turban off, it was revealed that under his turban, the dude was rocking a hot pink mohawk. Only this is not funny at all.

8. I am going to stop. What the hell? WHAT the hell? What the HELL?

The First Super Bowl Tradition on Sunday

I just finished one of my newest Super Bowl Sunday traditions, and the first one I do on Sunday. Wake up and check the news to see if any of the players got arrested or missed curfew. It looks like a clean slate for 2010. I'll cope, I guess.


P.S. Favorite double-entendre subplot? Who will be the Lucky Pierre tonight- Garcon or Thomas? There can be only one!

Super Bowl Name Karma

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com, AndyDisco on Twitter

When the Patriots beat the Rams to win the Super Bowl in 2001 (the game was in 2002, but it concluded the 2001 season), you will recall that in the year of 9/11, the team named the Patriots won the Super Bowl.


This year pits the Colts and the Saints. So was it a better year for Colts or for Saints?

We'll start with the Saints. There wasn't really much news about literal Saints in 2009, and we know that no news is good news. So the Saints get a point for that.

We do know that the winner AND runner up for the 2010 Eclipse Award for Horse of The Year were both female horses (a filly and mare, respectively) and not Colts (dude horses). Furthermore the two females, Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta, split 100% of the vote for Horse of the Year. Dude horses got zero total votes. So that's a negative for the Colts.

Based on my qualitative analysis of unrelated stuff, the Saints will win the Super Bowl.
