Ok, so I've done a lot of thinking about this and I'm going to institute a new rule that should be followed by all.  Most of this is stemming from the former Governor of New York, Spitzer and his dealings with a certain service.  Where my rule comes in is how do you feel about it.  Do you find high-class prostitution to be a disgusting profession?  If that's the case, then you must hate the movie 'Pretty Woman'.  Let's see what the plot is, a wealthy business man in New York uses a high class escort service and has a hooker follow him around all weekend.  They fall madly in love, Julia Roberts gives up hooking, and they end up together until 'Runaway Bride'.  Does the plot sound familiar?  Other than Spitzer being married with kids and a politician, Richard Gere and him are basically the same person.  You can't say Julia Roberts' character is charming, funny, and just looking for a real break in life and then say high class hookers are the same as the local crack whore on the corner.  It's one or the other.  I tend to think it's the latter, regardless if Julia Roberts claimed she never kissed her clients on the lips. 

Working in radio, interns are like the change of seasons.  Once you get used to seeing the same people, they're gone like the wind.  But let me tell you about this truly unforgettable intern, Teddy Ruxpin, what a character.  In my previous post about re-committing to the mob, he posted a comment asking if he can pee now because he's been holding it in since my last post....so precious.  Today he showed up to work in a Cubs jersey and hat, if he would've been wearing baseball pants and wrist bands, I would've thought Ronnie Woo-Woo was our newest intern.  Then in the little room he works in, he had this enormous stryofoam cup filled with giardinara.  What was he doing with it?  My guess is, he was drinking it.  So this cup of spicy giadinara is for you, Teddy Ruxpin, drink it in. 

Alright, after much persuasion, I have returned to the Mob.  It's alright, your standing ovation is too much, please sit down.  In case you hadn't noticed, I haven't done much blog posting recently.  Recently being a couple months.  Was it because of the writers strike?  Maybe, or maybe it was because I was feeling uninspired.  Regardless of that, I'm back and I have committed to the Mob....and to the Indian. 

One of the quickest fights I've ever seen.  I'm not the biggest fan of fighting in hockey games but this is one of the best.  It doesn't last long but don't worry you get a bunch of different angles.

 

So did you hear the Cubs are playing their games at 9 at night and they won't be on any of the local channels?  By the way, they're the only team that's playing on cable.  Nope, sorry, every team that made the playoffs will only be on cable.  I just heard a story where the reporter said "Only 85 percent of the Chicagoland area has cable."  Only 85 percent???  I'm wondering at what percentage does the only come off, 89, 92, 95.  Not to turn this into a math lesson, but it is 85 of 100 homes and far more than a majority.  What is this, 1974?  Who doesn't have cable or a satellite, my grandparents have cable for Scorsese's sake.   Since when is it a story that a few thousand people can't watch a baseball game.  There's these great places called bars or restaurants, they have tv's there and most likely cable, but you never know.  Oh, and for the people complaining about the late start time, when Boston plays Anaheim, they start at 9:30 Boston time on Monday night.  So maybe Major League Baseball should lose all their teams west of Colorado and get rid of all their TV contracts.  Not that I really care because I have cable and still won't be watching.

Next time you're in the Minnesota Airport and you have to use a stall, use the handicap one.   Now if the handicap stall is being used or it's against your ethics, then here's some more tips.  If you see someone staring through the crack, it's probably a creepy Congressman.  If he starts using hand signals and trying to play footsy, it's not because he's out of toilet paper.  Just keep this in mind next time you're in a airport bathroom and your travels will be a lot smoother.

I'm not a big reality tv guy but every once in a while, a show will sneak up on me and I'll end up watching most of the season.  Now in a remarkable turn of events, there are 3 shows I'm watching.  One is obviously Scott Baio, the other is the Brett Michaels show, and now the third one, 'The Pick-Up Artist'.  It's quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever watched.  So they have a notorious pick-up artist who doubles as one of the top 5 creepiest people around trying to teach a bunch of stereotypical nerds how to get girls to pay attention to them.  There's the 45 year old virgin, the nerdy Asian, the dorky white guy, a shy Hispanic, all that's missing is Anthony Edwards.  So the nerds watch their mentor talk to women at bars and they are astounded by what he does.  He makes eye contact, stupid conversation, and is supremely confident.  It's ground breaking stuff.  If you haven't watched, watch for 5 minutes and you'll feel 1000 times better about yourself. 

So Bonds broke the 'greatest record ever' the other night?  Yawn, whatever.  Here's what really ticked me off about that night:  The guy who caught the ball was in a full Mets outfit.  The Mets weren't playing the Giants.  They were playing the Washington Nationals.  That has got to be my biggest pet peeve at baseball games other than when I get mustard all over myself.  You're watching the White Sox play the Devil Rays and you see some goof wearing an Orioles jersey.  Why?  Because he wants to let everyone know he doesn't care who wins this game and also he's probably a tool.      

Alright, I'm not one to complain about technology nor am I the Unabomber.  I just think the world would be a much better place if there were no digital cameras.  Not really better but I've had much more sanity.  What happened to the good old days of taking a picture and getting on with your day?  If you take a picture with girls, they all instantly reach for the camera and if it doesn't fit their approval, retake the picture.  This can go on forever because the vote must be unanimous.  Quite frankly, I used to like the thrill of picking up a roll of film and not knowing what exactly was going to be on it.  I'm sure the people who developed the film probably feel the same way, but for totally different reasons.

I'm not sure there has been a week filled with more ridiculous controversies than this one.  Let's go over some of the top headlines so far and we're only half way through the week.

--An NBA ref is under federal investigation for supplying information to mobsters about referee assignments, insider info, and who knows what else.  Also, they are trying to figure out if he possibly fixed some games he reffed in order to make money for himself.  This basically makes the WWE look like a legitimate sporting league.

--Michael Vick is being indicted for being a scum-bag.  Ok sorry, had to get that off my chest.   It's possible that he knew there was dog-fighting going on his property and he may have contributed to executing dogs by strangulation, electricution, or the old fashioned gun to the head.  This story is particularly disgusting.  I rue the day I drafted him last year in my fantasy football league.

--Lindsay Lohan gets arrested for a DUI, drugs, etc.  Look what can I add that hasn't already been said.  Does there really need to be this much hoopla and coverage over a chick who's made two movies I can name and hasn't been attractive in about 3 years.

--Did you know there's some record in baseball that's going to be broken soon?  Ok, I wasn't sure, maybe you heard that Barry Bonds is only 3 home runs from breaking the record.  Once again, nothing I can really add here other than I'm actually looking forward to him taking control of the record just so I won't be kept abreast of Bud Selig and his travel schedule.

I watched Scott Baio is 45 and Single.  And I actually liked it.  This guy might be one of the most underrated Scum-bags around right now.  Not only did we learn who he lost his virginity to, but also he isn't exactly blessed in the area below the waist and above the knee caps.  If you know what I mean.

One thing you'll never see on this page is my political beliefs.  Mostly because, no one cares what I think and quite frankly, my opinions change all the time so that would make me seem like a flip flopper.  Anyways, I saw this video on the news the other day and couldn't pass it up.  The girl in the video is my new favorite underrated hottie (By the girl, I mean the singer, not Hillary Clinton).  Unless of course this makes her famous and she starts crashing parties in LA, and is on 'Inside Edition' every other day.  Then she wouldn't be so underrated anymore.

 

 

I tried typing a blog the other day and after I finished typing it, it had cut everything off except the first sentence.  The blog where I said I was back and better than ever.  I had a couple sentences after that.  They were, "but not really, but let's just pretend anyways."  Who would make a blog with one sentence besides a serial killer.  So there, I'm not a serial killer.  Hope I didn't confuse you.....

You remember that part towards the end of 'V for Vendetta' when he knocks down all those dominoes and it looks really sweet----------this is kind of like that but instead of dominoes it's human beings on bikes

 

Vacation time is over and I'm back and better than ever.

I'm putting up a poll to find out how silly some Cub fans can be.  I'm starting to get the impression they would rather beat the Sox in the season series rather than actually having a good team and contending for the postseason.  That's fine, enjoy winning meaningless games while floating near the mediocre mark.  These are the same dopes who say the Bears could be 2-14 as long as they beat the Packers both times.   The Sox are bad, everyone knows it and people will stop showing up.  Not like some zombies who will support bad baseball and march into a building doomed for destruction.  So if you'll excuse me, I'll be watching my 2005 World Series DVD's and in the mean time, GO BREWERS!!!!
