Reunion Extravaganza: Day 2
by OhYo on Feb.28, 2009, under Brain-plosions, Sports
Emergence… Awakening… I see the light; the light is shining bright. I rise to see the day with the sun on my face. It is glorious. The way leads me to a place of water, refreshing. Showers wash away the sorrow of the past and bring me optimism for a better day. Nourishment, it yet even comes to me before I beckon it. Hands prepare and present feasts untold. I find it energizing yet restful, though my path guides me onward without my reserve. A window is before me; yet surrounded by companions possessing their own, mine is unique in that I even now reach through it to grasp the hands of those afar off. It is wondrous; nevertheless a door summons me, whispers to me to explore the foreign land.
Sports games prevailed this day. Madden, Fifa, Tiger Woods and many other options presented themselves, but a very casual gaming day led us to rest at a nominal hour. The Henry’s, a family not seen at least by me for quite sometime, were in town and graced us with their presence. Laura slam dunked with Alfredo shrimp and croissants and then Mr. Henry busted out his laptop to show us ensuing improvements on Camp Lamoka on Tom’s 46” television. A few people had the gumption enough to send and receive phone calls with me since I’ve been down here and I am more than glad to chat with you and tell you how much more awesome it is than wherever you are. I think Saturday, we may try the beach.

If you know me, you know I don’t tend to make big deals out of little ones.
>_>
That being said, much has been written in the past few days about Michael Phelps, America’s golden boy, and his recently-surfaced pictures- pictures of him doing drugs. (continue reading…)
Return of the Commercials – 2009 edition
by Dan on Feb.02, 2009, under Humor, Sports
Even though I missed the majority of the Super Bowl, I did happen to catch the ending (the best part) and a few commercials along the way and thanks to the evil, alien-run empire, I was able to see them all.. A year ago I posted my top 10. This year I’m going to mix it up a little…

A taste of Kentucky
by OhYo on Jul.11, 2008, under Food & Holiday, Sports
Where is Kentucky? Its kinda in the South, no actually its really the Mid-West, but on the map, to me it looks rather east-ish than west-ish; and more mid-ley, than south-ley. West Virginia lies to the east, Virginia to the southeast, Tennessee to the south, Missouri to the west, Illinois and Indiana to the northwest, and Ohio to the north
and northeast. Ok if these words still don’t have you on page, just look at the graphic. This should give you a good idea where it is.
Enough about that, -what- is Kentucky? Well, a united state of course. (was I supposed to capitalize that? Spell-check doesn’t seem to care; communists.) What’s cool in KY? Louisville is the largest city here and is a must-see for any visitor, but beware: locals don’t take kindly to mispronunciations of their beloved city. Not “Lewie-ville” – try ‘Loouhvull’ or ‘Luhvull’ and you might get through a visit without being dubbed the dreaded title of “yank” or worse… “dang yank.”
Before you skip the rest of this post to the comments to question the existence of KFC’s in Kentucky, let me formally assure, they do and they thrive. Why, eating food is one of the primary functions of many of the denizens in this fine state. Another well kept secret locals hold dearly in lieu of Louisville is the fact we only have 49 states: Kentucky and Indiana form to make Kentuckiana, a deformed mutant, failed experiment of a state. BLARRGH!
Before you’re fast to overlook as ‘just another city’ in ‘just another state,’ mind you the wonders of a sport oft overlooked by many Americans: That’s right: Glue manufacturing, production and distribution! It all starts with a few short people, (we’ll call them jockys) and a few horses of high muscle/body-weight ratio, (we’ll call them race horses). Jockys ride these horses in some sort of ovular track. “Break a leg!” And whenst they have their hay-day, or become incapacitated, they’re shipped straight for materials. This is where the fun begins: First, make sure they’re dead, then beat them. It gets fuzzy after this part, I forget: then eventually glue comes out of the factory! (and when I say ‘they’, I mean the horses, silly)
Is there anything else cool about KY? Just as things that “Taste like chicken” aren’t chicken unless its really chicken; Louisville/Kentucky is just like many other cities and states, but aren’t those other cities and states, and chicken tastes pretty good. I dunno really, but apparently I’m the new Zomgee Kentucky Representative or ZKR for short. With my new deep-fried job, I should be able to have a few more time on my hands in the upcoming year. If there are any disputes or misconceptions about this state, please keep it in the comments area of this post, not in any previous post; thank you.
The Return of the Commercials

42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question
This year, that question was: “When will the Super Bowl commercials be good again?”
Remarkably absent were the riské commercials so prevalent in years past- which was good. So sit back and relax as I give you the Top 10 Commercials of Super Bowl 42. (continue reading…)
