Sexy Time!

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Arthur| View Comments

Don’t you hate it when you’re doing blow with three transvestite hookers, and all of a sudden things get weird?
The Jimi Hendrix sex tape has been released, and it has people wondering: how will this affect his career?
The BBC asks, Does sex addiction exist? Absolutely. Why, just the other day, I was thinking to myself, “Man, I really need to stop having all of this sex. It is completely out of control how much nonstop sex I am having all of the time. I must be some sort of addict. Alas, I guess this is the price I must pay for being so damn irresistable.” (Sigh).

Why No Love?

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Arthur| View Comments

Apparently tickets are selling poorly to tomorrow night’s Game 6 against the Pistons. What? I mean tickets aren’t that expensive, the team, although blown out in the last two games, has taken this series deeper than anyone thought they would, and they are a fun team to watch. Philly.com is giving away almost 100 tickets, and WIP is giving away tickets as well. That means that nobody is buying, and they don’t want the arena to look empty for a Game 6 in the playoffs. Playoffs, people! I went last Friday and it was a blast. If I didn’t have to work manana, I’d be there again. Crowd energy is such a big part of playoff basketball (thus the huge home court advantage), and it’s really lame if we’re the only city that can’t bring any.

This town is so ridiculous. We’ve got two teams in the playoffs, the baseball team is hot, and I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that if you turn on WIP today, they’re talking about the NFL draft and what to do with Lito Sheppard. Well, I don’t care if they drop Lito Sheppard into the goddamm river with cement shoes on, we have two teams in the playoffs so screw the Eagles.

Bounty Bowl at Bards Tonight!

Posted on April 29, 2008 by Arthur| View Comments

Kickin’ off at O’Neals (3rd and South) at 8 p.m. Hopefully that tool from last week with the visor will be back, telling me to shut the f*** up when the Sixers game comes on.

On to the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom has won 5 straight Tuesday night matches, and thus any team that beats them tonight will win a $20 bounty in addition to the $40 gift certificate.

Kickin It With Lucia in VA

Posted on April 28, 2008 by Arthur| View Comments

Headed down to Virginia on Saturday to spend some time with my niece Lucia (almost ten months!), and will probably stay till manana. Lucia has started crawling and clapping her hands and standing up (with support) in her crib since I last saw her!

Dunno if I can get photos of last weeks winners posted until I get back, since I don’t have a computer on me (I’m on my friends mom’s computer). In the meantime, here’s a few things to kick around:

My latest on Kerrie Lee’s blog is about today’s weird news, including the latest giant squid info.
Went to the Sixers game on Friday and was amazed that it wasn’t a sellout. In fact not even close. What’s the problem? This is an exciting team with lots of loveable players, from rookie phenom Thaddeus Young to workhorse Reggie Evans to point guard/savior Andre Miller (the better half of the AI trade, if you ask me). The team tanked hard in the 2nd half yesterday, but hopefully can pull off another upset at Detroit on Tuesday.
Today is Harper Lee’s 82nd birthday. She has not written a single book since 1960s To Kill a Mockingbird. Here is a very good piece on her and her friendship with Truman Capote.

Mussolini

Posted on April 28, 2008 by Arthur| View Comments

It was on this date in 1945 that Mussolini, 5 of his guards, and his mistress were executed. There has been a strange cover up with the love letters between Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci. Time magazine reported on their letters in 1952, as the letters were taken over by Italian authorities despite a legal fight by Petacci’s relatives to reclaim them. Many of those letters were stolen while in the custody of the Italian government. Another interesting conspiracy theory: that Mussolini was killed by undercover British agents. Oh, and one more interesting thing about Mussolini: Like Hitler, he fancied himself an artist.
