billy beane

is billy beane gay? (not that there’s anything wrong with that). i’m talking about the A’s general manager, not to be confused with william daro “billy” bean (one of two former major league player to reveal his homosexuality). coincidence?
i’m asking because the beane-man hasn’t put a low salary high value squad on the field in some time, [...]

Trebek Being Trebek

I found a couple videos of Alex Trebek spazzing out and having a seizure. What the hell would we do without this guy? Could anyone else ever replace him? And how smart do you think he is? It seems like whenever someone gets a question wrong, he replies in a manner that would indicate that [...]

Beating the Bed Flute

Some helpful guidance for a youngblood who is learning the best methods for firing his flesh musket:

things that are not decent

claiming that eating less burgers will help stop global warming.
strong gusts of wind that interfere with peoples’ shteezes.
sen. arlen specter.
supercuts.
when you purchase a non-stop flight and the airline changes it to a connecting flight.
comcast.
pastor james manning.
when co-workers leave their cell phone in their cube and take lunch, and it rings and rings and vibrates and rings….

Oh, that Loathsome Wind!

My God! Wind has slowly crept up my nemesis list, and today I’m more enraged than I’ve been in months. Under the current wind advisory, the temperature is about 20 M-Effing degrees colder than it should be. And it seems like it’s been this way for the last two months. Maybe it’s just frustration from waiting for the [...]

the sweet swing of sir charles

I’m going to give you a little advice. There’s a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

He’s on his final hole. He’s about 455 yards away, he’s gonna hit [...]

the farter on the treadmill

this woman at my gym always farts while she is running on the treadmill. i’m not sure if she knows she is doing it and just doesn’t care, or if she is unaware. i think because of her ipod and the constant motion she cannot hear it or feel it. however, i can hear it. [...]

Filling Out the Perfect Bracket


While I fill out my NCAA Tourny Bracket… I realize that some may claim it’s luck that I picked every game correctly. Behold:
(From Pregame.com)

There are 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 possible brackets. If everyone on the planet each randomly filled out a bracket, the odds would be over 1.5 BILLION to 1 against anyone having a perfect bracket.
If all [...]

Boston’s Most Decent Pizza


The Tube fancies himself a pizza connoisseur. I’d maybe go as far saying the Tube is a pizza Guru. Whether it’s frozen pies, takeout pies, delivery, or pies that were just peeled off the mean concrete streets of Beantown — the Tube connects… the Tube connects. So I’d like to use this space to give a [...]

What the… Calzones?


From the Bozeman (MT) Sentinel:
Best-selling author Marquez Rodney has claimed ex-wife Penelope Steppinger’s infidelity is the reason behind their divorce. The pair were granted a decree nisi by District Judge Hastings yesterday.
Rodney, who was married to Steppinger for six years, claimed his wife had been sexually involved with a local man who also delivered her vegetarian calzones on [...]

While the additions of KG and Ray Allen are the biggest factors in the C’s success this year, [...]

Fat Dude with a Gat

I can’t get enough of this video — and I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because I’ve never fired a real gat. Maybe it’s because that dude looks hysterical. Maybe it’s a combination of everything. But this is damn good…

prudential building lights

does the top of the prudential have a new look?
i think it does. however, i’m surprised that i can’t find any credible news sources commenting on it. another scoop for the community?
maybe it’s a one night thing, but on my drive home tonight i noticed the top of the hub illuminated in blue, as opposed [...]

Outdoorsman: Blood, Sweat, and Beers

Per instructions from my good friend John Stank, I watched a movie on IFC this weekend that was unlike anything else I’ve seen before (on TV). It’s a documentary about a bunch of dudes that have what basically amounts to a type of mountain man beer olympics. Talk about aggression! These dudes are the real deal!
What does the movie entail? Slugging [...]
