Proud Day to be a Mets Fan

This from the New York Post: What a crowd, these bums are, all of them, from the Wilpons at the top to Omar Minaya down below, all of them who conspired to botch this firing worse than any firing has ever been botched. Ever. You wouldn’t trust these guys to run a 7-11, let alone a National League baseball team. What a joke. What a cowardly, dastardly joke. A midnight massacre. A 3 a.m. thrashing. Disgraceful. Utterly, completely, disgraceful…Is this the best the Mets can do? Is this really what they are about? Can they really consider themselves a professional operation when they do the simplest task in sports, firing the manager, this wretchedly?

A sad, sad day to have a hairy neck.

Last night

Swung by the Mojito Olympics at Rum Bar at 6 p.m. last night, where Trivia Art was a judge. I’m not gonna lie. I really had limited interest in watching people muddle mint, I just wanted a free Mojito. Hung there for about an hour, then headed over to the Khyber for the Dirtiest Sketch Competition. I’ll be honest, it was extremely disturbing. Beyond tasteless. (If you want to see the one that NOT SAFE FOR WORK! won, go here and scroll down. Please be warned, it is extremely disturbing and not at all safe for work. Seriously.)The sketches were pretty insane (my favorite was a bad 1950s B-Movie spoof, complete with terrible acting and a sex crazed robot), and it was also great to hang out with Philly legends Scott Johnston and the Legendary WID. The WID had a anti-theft device on his bike that was revolutionary. It consisted of 1) a rope and 2) that’s it, just a rope. His bike was not stolen. Had the Brooklyn Summer Ale, btw, which was delicious. And even got home at a reasonable hour.

Question of the Week

What band’s first ever single was titled “True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes”?

This is Great (But Not Safe For Work Due to Cussing)

Dunno if you’ve seen this, but it’s pretty good. The guy who did it, Jon Lajoie, also came out with a part two. Thanks to Erin for sending this in. If you’ve got something that might be good to post on the site, holla atcha boy.

Hurtin’ Bombs win at the Bards

This book, written in 1939, is known for the difficult and abstract language with which Joyce chose to write it, and though it is a famous book, few people have actually read it.

But My Mom Says I’m Cool Wins at the Vous

The original manuscript of Ulysses is actually found in Philadelphia, at this museum on 2008 Delancey. (There is actually a reading going on there all day today.)
