What has two thumbs and hates Barry Bonds? This guy. I’ve been a basball fan for a long time, and one of my most cherished memories of the sport is Barry Bonds flubbing a ground ball during the Giants collapse in the 2002 World Series. Needless to say, his interview yesterday certainly didn’t gain him any more fans. But he did make an interesting point about Babe Ruth being white and him being black. Especially since there are many people who think that Babe Ruth isn’t white.

In what city was Hunter S. Thompson born? And here’s a collection of interviews about Thompson as a youngster.

Okay, the best three team names of the past week were:
My girlfriend can’t fight, but you should see her box
FREE MUMIA (With the purchase of any Mumia of equal or lesser value)
Weekend at Bernie’s 3: Vatican City

Good job, gang.

Remember Tuesday, when the sun was shining and black and white people were playing music together in the park? That was so kool. Damn wind. Oh yeah, and that 3 on 3 tourney I told you about the other day got cancelled. Finally, the new poll is up. Tell me what the worst love song is, ever.

Just weeks after the worst cover story in the history of the printed word, PW had a really good cover story this week about Frankie Smith and the “Double Dutch Bus”. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the article was the fact that Snoop stole Frankie’s Smith’s slang and called it his own.
Today, when Smith hears kids saying “izzle,” a word rapper Snoop Dogg claims to have originated, he shakes his head. He says the word “izzle” came from the pig latin slang of “Double Dutch Bus.” Smith says he thought about going to the tabloids with the story, envisioning headlines like, “GANGSTA RAPPER STEALS ‘IZZLE’ FROM ‘DOUBLE DUTCH BUS’ MAN,” but he doesn’t want to make enemies in the industry.
And after hearing the song, it is blatantly obvious. This wouldn’t be so shocking if Snoop didn’t seem like such a good Christian. Oh, and here’s your chance to see your favorite website shizzolated. (Cut and paste https://johnnygoodtimes.com)

Since I do serve as the Man in Black’s unofficial fan club president, I thought I should inform you that he will playing in a Tsunami Relief Concert on Friday Night at Abilene’s (429 South Street) at 9:00 p.m.

Two lawmakers from New Jersey are trying to bring the NFL draft to Camden. In a statement released by the commisioner’s office, Paul Tagliabue stated, “We’ll hold the draft in Camden if we’re not able to find a suitable arena in Fallujah.”

To be honest, I haven’t been this upset since I found out that Uday and Qusay had died. I mean, no more Wednesday nights watching sluggish 60 minute games finish 1-0 every single time? No more games between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Phoenix Coyotes? Instead I have to watch more ACC basketball? Say it ain’t so!!! Judging by this interview I’m watching, NHL commish Gary Bettman is a real prick, so I’m blaming the whole thing on him, even though I don’t know any of the facts. In the event that I’m right, Thank you Gary!!! There’s a part of me that wants the 2005-06 season to be cancelled as well, but there is also a part of me that wants to see NHL games played in front of 350 people next year, so I’m kind of torn.

There’s a three on three basketball tournament at the YMCA on 17th and Christian on Saturday. The cost is $30 per team, and it starts at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Either get there early to sign up or call Alec at 215 735-5800. I’ll be playing, so here’s your chance to see if you can stop Goodtimes on the hardwood floor. (Here’s a hint: You can’t).

Took these photos yesterday near my house.
