That’s right, McDonald’s was looking to class up the joint a little, so who did they call up? Starbucks of course! They are combining to form a super restaurant, and one of their first combos is in Bristol. Finally, two crappy entities join forces to make one supercrappy entity!!! I haven’t been this excited since Styx and Night Ranger combined to make Damn Yankees.
It’s gotta be the shoes, money
Lebron James, who is less man than product, tried to take a pot shot at Stephon Marbury, who endorses a $15 shoe so that underprivileged kids can have an NBA sponsored shoe. But Marbury owned his sorry ass. This from Newsday:
Before the game, James took a little shot at Marbury’s $14.98 kicks, saying he couldn’t imagine endorsing a sneaker that cheap. “No, I don’t think so,” James said. “Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high.”
Marbury, who is friendly with James, was lacing up his Starburys before the game when informed of LeBron’s comment. He thought about it for a moment and said, “I’d rather own than be owned.”
Oh snap!!! Yeah, you and Nike hold your standards high, don’t you Lebron? In fact, I hear that you guys pay your sweatshop workers a whole quarter an hour so they maintain those high standards.
Oh, and go ahead and guess which shoes were on the feet of the guy who hit the winning three pointer with 8.5 seconds left? Give you a hint, it wasn’t the guy who is owned.

Should We go pizza hunting again?
One of the highlights of 2006 was, for me, the pizza hunt. In the end, we discovered that Tony’s and Tacconelli’s were the best, with Mama Palma’s a close third. So it’s about that time we try to find a best of again. Should we retry pizza? I mean, there are still hundreds I haven’t tried, and we could try the best ones again and see if they still hold up. Or we could do something new. Best bar no-one knows about? Best brunch? Best coffee shop? What do you guys think? Let me know if we should go pizza again. I mean, I’m cool with it. It’s cheap, fun and delicious. Do you have any other great ideas of things we should go hunting for together? If so, post them below.
Holy Freaking Cow! This Rules!
Unbelievable news, everybody. American Gladiators is returning to the air! ESPN Classic is going to start showing reruns every weeknight at 7 p.m. And they’re kicking it off with aGladiators marathon on Saturday. That’s right, a chance to see people like you and I (except with mullets) trying to knock Nitro off of a tower with a joust, and avoid a gun shooting tennis balls at them at 100 mph. This was the original reality show, if you ask me. Here’s a sweet powerball match in which Gemini and Billy Wirth get in a little dustup. And here’s some more info on the show itself. I am so fired up right now, I think I might climb into my atlasphere and roll around town.
Have you seen this yet?
Pretty good beatdown of modern news by the guys at jib-jab.
Around the Horn
-A woman in Maryland claims that her dog saved her by performing the heimlich. NBC10 actually covered this liars bulls***. Hey NBC10, last night my cat Malia (above left) jumped in front of a bullet that was headed for my heart and caught it in her mouth. Then she put the shooter in the figure four leglock until the police arrived. You should do a story on that! Also, I like how there is a link at the bottom of this story that says, “How to Perform Heimlich Maneuver.” Which is silly, because most dogs can’t even read English.
-Hopefully Ann Coulter decides to take a summer jaunt to Surf CIty, NJ, this summer AND EXPLODES.
-My main man Denny Blaze (The Average Homeboy) finished 3rd on VH1’s Top 40 Greatest Internet Superstars!
Un-Freaking-believable! Smackdown leads Barristers Bracket Challenge!
In what can only be defined as ‘typical”, a person I am currently trying to be angry at is leading the Barristers Bracket Challenge. Smackdown (above), a sworn enemy of mine, is in the lead with 109. Now, I may have to be nice to her, just so I can get a free burger at Barristers if she wins the $250. But it all depends on the final four. If Ohio State beats Florida for the national championship, she wins. If Georgetown beats Florida, then I Hate MAGMA wins. If UCLA beats G-Town, then Representing the MAAC wins. If Ohio State beats UCLA, then I’m Jam and Y’all Toast wins. And if a crazed yeti attacks and kills the 70 people currently ahead of me, I will crowned champion. So it’s really up in the air. Anyways, Smackdown (if that is your real name), I am hereby calling a truce. And if you win, I would like two burgers and 15 Yuenglings. Deal?

What the right wing’s up to
I haven’t really talked a lot about politics lately. I haven’t needed to, because I could do a post about kittens and within minutes Palestra Jon and EE would be in a heated debate about whether or not kittens support the War in Iraq. But a few things came up this past month that are hard to ignore.
-Rush Limbaugh says that John Edwards made the announcement that his wife has cancer to try to jump start his campaign. Probably in a similar way that Rush uses Oxycontin to jump start his brain.
-Well, at least the leaders of right wing thought aren’t using terms like “faggot” to a room full of appreciative conservatives. Oh wait, never mind. Which raises the questions, “How much longer before Skeletor (above,with prominent adam’s apple) uses a hateful derogatory slur to describe Obama, and will conservatives applaud that as well?”
-Tom Delay says that anybody that thinks that liberals who think he is guilty of the campaign improprieties he was indicted for are akin to Hitler. Which upsets me. I always thought I was more of an Idi Amin type.

Qestion of the Week
What state was hit by the strongest recorded earthquake in American history, a 9.2 on the Richter scale?
This is funny
The box score above, apparently the offical one posted on Yahoo sports last night, was sent in by alert reader Lee. Notice why NBA veteran Robert Horry didn’t play.
