Amber posts "why don't you talk about your nephews and how you won't let them spend the night with you"
I say : I love both of my nephews a whole lot and think about them all the time, but I won't let them spend the night with me for 5 reasons:
(1) Jake wears a diaper
(2) Nick wears a diaper
(3) I don't do diapers
(4) I have a weak stomach
(5) If they stayed the night, things could get real crappy(literally...hahaha)
Steve posts "talk about Max, the Braves up for sale, Dan, the Paragould basketball league"
Max is good and fat. I don't get it, she's been on Science Diet Lite Cat food for like 3 years now. She was an all inside cat before I moved to Paragould. I thought the new and big backyard that I have at my house would take care of her weight problem, especially considering she always wants to be outside. Wrong, she just gets bigger and furrier everyday. If they ever have the movie "Anger Management part 2" and the need another cat to play the role of "Meatball", Max could fill that role(all of it).
The Braves up for sale? Hadn't heard! Who cares! Is their a more boring franchise?Actually, yes there is, but still. I'll spare everyone the trouble, and just tell you the Braves will win their division for the next 10 straight years, but never make a World Series. Nor will they ever spend even $1.00 on a free agent slugger or a shutdown closer! Go figure??
Dan......he's doing good. I'm gradually taking some of the things I do at work, and handing it over to him, which frees me up to get off of work at a decent hour. He also never misses work, which I am impressed with considering he is on chemo! He also also adds a lot of comedy to the everyday life.
My b-ball team in the Paragould b-ball league is off to a rough start. After winning our first game by a lot, we have now lost 3 in a row. Of course, our 1st two losses were to the two teams that were in the championship game last year and are probably the two best teams again this year. We played both of those teams a close game, and I was feeling good about our team. Then last night, we play a team I thought we would beat by double digits, and instead we end up losing by double digits. One of our key players wasn't there, but we still should have played better and won. I'm kinda dissapointed in some of our guys shot selection. You've got to know the difference between taking a good shot and a bad shot if you're going to have a good team, especially when you're not one of the top 4 scorers, and you are not hitting your shots either. Anyways, we had a few good pickups over the off-season. We got this young guy named Kenneth who started at Manila a few years ago, and he can play. We also added Michael Gant, who is a very good baskeball player. Gant is a black dude, yet he is the most country dude on our team. Next to Karl Malone, he's the only black guy I've heard that talks country. I love it!
**My hat is off to Sean McCurdy of the Razorbacks. He gets in the game tonight for the first time with 16 seconds in the half. He grabs a rebound with 3 seconds, takes a few dribbles, and banks in a 55 footer at the buzzer. Actually, a key shot as it gave the Hogs momentum coming out for the 2nd half.
** Steve, how come everytime I pick up a newspaper, JHS is losing?? How many losses do they have now? I thought you said this team would make a run at a state championship? Again, JHS will not win one for a long time. Therefore, the 1994 team will remain the best team JHS ever had....case closed!! I think I'm going to do like the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and start having get togethers with my old teammates to celebrate with champagne anytime JHS gets knocked out of the state tournament.
That my friends is my update! Goodnight!

I don't have much to talk about. I may have to retire from this blog thing pretty soon, I mean look, I don't even have the counter thing that tells you how many "hits" your site gets like Steve's & Baker's. I put the counter up a few months ago, but I got an email from blogdrive.com saying that my site wasn't getting enough hits and that they were taking the counter thingy off my blog. Yep, they said my blog is so sad even the Atlanta Braves baseball team gets more hits than my blog!! Ohhhhhh!!!! HAHAHA!!.......(NOTE: does anyone ever notice all the little personal attacks towards Steve in all my messages.....I can't help it! It's just too fun!)
Things got real exciting last week when I came to the realization that I was going to have to buy a new vacuum cleaner. Yep, my last one went out two weeks ago while I was using it to suck up all the fuzzies off of my poker table.....it was horrible, smoke was everywhere, I felt like I just walked in Ron's pool hall back in the ole high school days. Anyways, its just not possible for a guy to go spend money on something like a vacuum and not feel depressed about the whole situation, right?? I mean here it is Christmas season and you need to be buying all these gifts, then you've got house payments, car payments, bills, and now I've got to go waste almost a 100 bones on a freakin vacuum? You gotta be kidding me!! Just a disaster!! I mean I might as well just get in the car and drive down the road with my window down tossing $20 bills out the window, its pretty much the same thing, right?.........this ranks right up there with paying personal property taxes & spending a $104.00 to get your teeth cleaned at the dentist........so finally after a week of denial, I swallowed my pride and headed off to Wal-Mart. I went and picked out out this vacuum and started walking at a fast pace up for the register hoping nobody sees me. Yep, there's just no way to look tough when you are a male walking down the aisle with this cupcake hoochie mama vacuum in your arms. Stuff like that doesn't exactly add hair to your chest. Pretty sure chicks don't dig the dude walking around with the vacuum cleaner. I'm just glad I wasn't wearing a pink shirt that day so I could feel evenmore like a cake-boy. Anyways, I pay for the junk and then as I'm walking out the door of Wal-Mart with the piece of junk in my hand, the alarm goes off (I wish I were making this stuff up, I really do). Yep, I got the beep, followed by the Wal-Mart recording voice blabbering something, followed by the old lady by the door saying "sir, could you please come here!" Just great!! Not only do I look like a homo caring this vacuum around, but I now I look like a thief too. Plus, after the beeping sound, you know everyone is looking hoping they caught somebody (which they didn't by the way). I mean here I am setting off the alarm with a vacuum! Noooooo, couldnt' have been a fishing pole or football of whatever I've bought at Wal-Mart the other million times I've been there. It had to be the stupid vacuum cleaner that sounds the alarm and attracts stares. At this point, there was no saving face. I was done! All my pride was gone! They should have just thrown a few boxes of tampons on top of the vacuum box just to finish me off and completely humiliate me!! Poor JJ!!

We had our annual winter shindig up at Stall's cabin this week at the Sprung River. We had the regular river crew, also known as the "sexy six"(me,Dan,Stalls,Worm,Steve,Mike G); plus a few rookies in Baker, Byram, and the "U"(Utley). Absent from this trip were Mitchell Spanky Pankey and Nat Stallings. Overall, it was a good little trip...... If it just didn't get so dang cold at night inside the cabin! I mean I like it cold at night at my house, but I don't want to wake up in the morning and feel like I slept in the snow......it got so cold Friday night, that we awoke to some screaming early Saturday morning. Came to find out it was Worm, and he was yelling because his right nad had frozen to his leg. Ouch!! Luckily, Mike Gibson(an experienced fireman) was there with us and knew how to assess the situation. After we got over the excitement of that ordeal, we just chilled all day Saturday. Professional fisher Matt Stallings went fishing most of the afternoon. When he first pulled out his waders to go fishing, roaches started scattering faster than Steve in a bobblehead souvenir shop. Later, Stalls went on to talk about how in the middle of fishing, a roach crawled up out of his waders and was climbing up his neck. I wasn't there to see, but you just know when the roach crawled up his neck he did that uncontrollable shimmy dance completed with the little girl scream at the end......(NOTE:Golddigger is playing on the radio right now..SWEET! "holla we want prenupt, we want prenupt")......back to the trip. Mike G joined Stalls in a little one on one fishing contest. Meanwhile, myself, Steve, Dan, & Worm threw the football around and watched some of the best of Will Ferrell on DVD. Later that night, the lovely duo of Lindsey Bryam & Lindsey Baker showed up along with the "U". Dave managed to beat me in one of the greatest 2006 NCAA football playstation games of all time, along with the greatest endzone dance of all time as Peyton Hillis gave DeArrius Howard an imitated shoe shine after a touchdown. Dave & I were rollin!! Lindsey Baker was over at the table hustling everyone in Monopoly. She tried to quit early in the game, but you could tell it was part of her act in which she acts like she doesn't know what she's doing, then takes out everyone at the table on by one later in the game (kind of like in pool when people get hustled). We also managed to watch "Ring 2", one of the worst movies of all time. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and move it in to my top 10 worst movies of all time. With this new addition to my bottom 10, here is a rundown of the new shakup to my poll of the worst movies I've seen in my lifetime: (10) Ring 2 (9) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (8) Hackers (7) The Village (6) True Lies (5) Hulk (4) any movie with Nicholas Cage in it (3) Punch Drunk Love (2) Tales from the Hood......NOTE:thanks to Matt Bull, for reminding me the other week of this horrible movie we went and saw when we were in high school. (1) the Truman Show..................anyway, the Ring 2 was awful. If you haven't seen, don't watch! Just a waste of time! Anyway, Byram topped off the night by walking by Dan & myself, and asking us if wanted a Ding Dong?? She was referring to the box of snacks she had brought, but the Beavis & Butthead inside of me and Dan couldn't keep us from laughing out loud. Anyway, the annual winter trip was fun, but I'm looking forward to the annual summer trip. Yep, nothing like sitting in the middle of the river behind the cabin and watching 2 redneck strangers get into a fist fight over who gets the last Busch Light in the cooler. Nothing like a redneck in a canoe yelling at you from a half mile back "get that bottle of Yager that's floating!!" Nothing like Mitchell holding a pair of binoculars and saying "that girl in the blue swimsuit looks hot".... only to find out minutes later after getting closer, that is a 10year old girl, or a guy. Good times!!

I started noticing something about Worm this summer while playing softball. I mentioned it to Dan and others, and they downplayed it, and I thought maybe it was just me. But after this past week of playing 2 games of softball with him again, I'm convinced. Convinced of what you say?? Convinced that Worm's goatee is intimidating everyone on the field?? "Nope." Convinced that Worm is carrying the biggest stick out at the softball park?? "No No No.".....I AM CONVINCED THAT SOMEHOW SOMEWAY IN THE PAST YEAR, WORM HAS SOMEHOW MANAGED TO DOUBLE HIS SPEED. I know, I can't believe it myself. I mean how do you start getting faster at age 26? How does a 26 year old accountant whose had more "laundry days" in the past month than I've had in 6 years find the "afterboost" in his step? I noticed it this summer playing church softball with him (not that this season ever happened, but let's just say it did for now), and I noticed that Worm was beating out a lot of plays that he used to get thrown out on. For instance, the double play: if Worm hit one to shortstop with a guy on first, back in the day he would have grounded into the double play. However, this year, not once did he get doubled up. Plus, he just looked like he was running faster to me. I talked with Dan about this, and Dan said my mind is playing tricks on me. Dan called it the"Jon Woods theory" which states(according to Dan): "where a short dude that doesn't run fast takes little bitty steps and moves his arms up and down real fast to make it look like he is going fast, but that in reality, he's basically just running in place." Plus, Steve and Stalls both dismissed my comments in the dugout about this. So I just thought it was me...... Fast forward to this week. The fall softball team that I play on has been shorthanded lately, so we called on Worm because Wormy is good at 3b & is always up for a softball game....at least, as long as it doesn't interfere with work or "laundry day."..........Right off the bat, Monday night, Worm is on 1st base and scores on a gapper. I thought he should have stayed at 3rd base, the Old Worm would have, but this Worm was chuggin around 3rd confident in his new found speed. It was a close play and a good throw, so I thought Worm was out. NO!! Worm pulls this nice slide over to the back side of the plate, and was called "SAFE". He looked like a pro; someone who you would put in to pinch run in the 9th inning...... Later in the game, he hits a hard ground ball to shortstop. The shortstop bobbles it for a second, and then throws over to first only to find Worm safe by about a step. I kept thinking to myself, Worm is so much faster than he used to be"....THEN, at about that time & without me saying a word about this, Mike Johnson (Mike Who? Mike Jones..I mean Mike Johnson) leans over and says "did you notice that Worm is a lot faster than he used to be"?? I said "THANK YOU, THAT IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG." THAT WAS ALL I NEEDED TO HEAR. I am officially convinced, and Michael has some credibility considering he is a sports nutt like myself. Now, I'm not saying Worm is a blazer, I'm just saying that it is impressive for a 26 year old to reach his prime at running and dramatically improve his speed all of a sudden.......makes you wonder if he's really doing laundry all those days???? Maybe laundry day really consists of going out in the backyard with some "strength shoes", a "running parachute", and some "orange cones" and doing some fancy feet and shuttle runs.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't have "splickidy sickidy split" to talk about, but I don't what the dreaded "you need to update" quotes showing up on my message board. So I'm just gonna roll out some "Stock up / Stock Down" like Dickie V does on Monday mornings on ESPN radio. HIT IT:
STOCK UP: My brother Dan working with me at Spectrum Finishing.
STOCK DOWN: Dan giving me that look from time to time that says "just a matter of time before you are working for me; this is my house!!"
STOCK DOWN: all the people/reporters/celebrities/newswriters that keep bashing the recovery efforts of the hurricane victims.
STOCK UP: General Russell Honore's comment to a reporter who wouldn't stop bashing the recovery efforts. The reporter just kept asking the same question. Then Hardcore Ragin Cajun General Russell Honore steps up to the mic and tells the reporter "hey, don't get stuck on stupid!"
STOCK UP: I have a fantasy football team that is off to a 5-0 start.
STOCK DOWN: I have two fantasy football teams that are off to a 1-4 start. Sunuva!
STOCK UP: When songs that I love that I haven't heard in awhile, and pretty much forgot about, that come on the radio..songs of late that got me fired up: "Here comes the hotstepper" by Imi Kamoze (feel free to sing along; you know you like that song) & Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots.
STOCK DOWN: channel 1 on my radio that keeps wearing out that "My Humps" song by Black Eyed Peas. Enough Already!! ...........and there is no way the Black Eyed Peas sing that; it doesn't even sound like them. I'm convinced that song is sang by the same group that sang "Milkshake".....you can't tell me that's not the same group. Milkshake & My Humps are sang by the same person. Case closed; there is no changing my mind on this one.
STOCK UP: The movie "Two for the Money" that I went and saw late Sunday afternoon. Good movie about sports betting.
STOCK DOWN: racing to get home from the movie so I could check out the Sunday night football lines on the intenet.......kind of like watching the Karate Kid when you were a kid, & then trying to fight somebody during recess the next day because the movie had you all in the mood. You know what I'm talking about.
STOCK UP: Going to see the Razorbacks play Auburn this weekend.
STOCK DOWN: sitting in the stadium during the game and thinking "holy crap, we lost to Vanderbilt here a few weeks ago"
STOCK DOWN: softball games at 9:30pm that are running behind. Then you get home at midnight and you are wired out of your mind from playing softball. (you can't just come home from a game, and go straight to bed...my body just doesn't work like that) Next thing you know, its 2:30am and you are chasing your cat under the bed, and thinking "I've got to get up 3 hours."
STOCK UP: my softball bat that I've had for 5 years, and it just keeps getting better with age. The bat is so good I've nicknamed it "Blue Jesus"(the bat is blue) as of late. Last night we had a guy in a slump & he was trying different bats. I handed him Blue Jesus, and he busted a shot in the gap for a triple. Yep, I got the magic stick!!
STOCK UP: ASU football season is halfway over
STOCK DOWN: means ASU basketball is right around the corner (sorry, I can't help myself at taking cheap shots at Dan,Worm, & Steve).
STOCK UP: reading everyone's blogs and seeing them write about what color "jello" they would wrestle with the other person in.
STOCK DOWN: actually getting out some "jello" out to eat, and then picturing Worm and Steve in your mind wrestling around covered in pink jello........I'll never get the image out of my head, and be able to enjoy jello anymore. I'm gonna have to make the switch to pudding.
LATE, OUT, RACK MYSELF, SEE YA, CHOW !

The ol' Ten Year Reunion went great this past weekend. The showing was a little slim on Friday night, and I was afraid a lot of people weren't coming. But they didn't let me down as Saturday night a lot more faces showed up for the shindig at the Moose Lodge (yep, a smaller version of the Eagles). I couldn't belive how just about everyone looked the exact same as 10 years ago. Except for one person (Matt Taylor), I could have picked everyone out from a 100 yds away. I couldn't believe how great some of these girls were still looking. Most of them had had a kid, and I think they actually looked like they were in better physical shape now then they were in high school. It was like a big party that you didn't have to worry about going & not knowing anybody, because you basically know everybody. I talked to a friend I used to eat lunch with in high school, but that I hadn't seen since. He happens to now live in Cleveland (where my Indians play), and I took his number so that I might come up for a few days next summer and go to some baseball games with him. The Reunion staff also made these cool programs where it has what everyone is now doing, and what has been going on with their life since the graduated high school. I've got to share this one with you though.....its too good to not mention. We had this one girl in high school who was real quiet & real smart. She didn't show up for the reunion, but I was looking through the program and came to the page that was about her. She lives in California, and is a Veterinary Tech....BLAH BLAH......then it comes to the part that asks "what have you done since graduation?"......here is her answer word for word out of the program, "Got my bachelor's degree in Spanish from Hendrix, moved to California, married a woman who turned into a man, got divorced cuz' I'm a lesbian. Married the woman that God sent me. Quit drinking. Quit Smoking".........COME AGAIN?..Did I just read what I think I read? ..WOW!!........that's some crazy stuff right there. I think we may have something here. I think they could put our program up by the counter at Wal-Mart and it would sell like hotcakes if it had stuff like this in it.
However, in between the reunion stuff on Friday & Saturday, I made time to get tortured on my Saturday afternoon. Let me explain...a few weeks ago a girl I know who works at Black River School in Paragould asked me if I would help out with a Hurricane Katrina fundraiser on Saturday, October 1st. She needed me to fill a spot that was open in a "dunking booth" from 1:30 to 2:00pm. People can throw 3 balls at you for a $1.00 to try to dunk you & the money goes to the Hurricane victims. I wasn't really excited about the idea, but it was for a good cause & it was only 30 minutes of my time, so I said yeah I would help out..........anyway, I get there Saturday afternoon, and the crowd is kind of small (not sure if it was ever large). I get over in the booth and there is only the same couple of kids there the whole time, and this one girl who is 14 was mean as crap. Her mom works on the staff at the school & I guess this girl had to be here the whole time, so she was just sitting there throwing balls the whole time without paying. She couldn't go to another booth, she had to stay at the dunking booth the whole freakin time. Just non-stop hurling the ball at the target and missing by 30 ft everytime. So you are thinking that is good that she is missing because then I am not getting wet...WRONG! After everythrow that she misses, she immediately runs up and pushes the red target with her hand, and down I go into this Ice Cold swamp of water. The water was freezing cold, the wind was blowing, the temp outside was only in the 70's, and looking down at the water it looked like a Giant Bowl of Campbell's soup.........so now the other 2 kids in line who were both probably about 7 or 8 years old see what this girl is doing, and they start doing the same thing. So I've now got 3 kids running around like monkeys pressing the button with their hands and watching me fall into the water over and over while they laugh, and as we don't raise one freaking dollar for the Hurricane. The man that was supposed to be collecting the money & laying down the law sat in his wheelchair and laughed with the kids as they did this for about 20 minutes straight. Easily the longest 20 minutes of my life.....I must have got dunked 40 times within about 15 minutes. If someone would have walked in with a gun, I would have raised my hand and said "shoot me shoot me". Finally, the girl I know came up and asked the kids what they were doing and telling them that that's not how it works........but these "Bebe's kids" didn't listen and ignored and kept on dunking me with their hands. She asked me if this had been going on the whole time,and I said yep. She said do you just want to get out & call it quits, and I said "$#%$ yes"...........she thanked me for coming out and I replied no problem and added that that little girl needed a serious whoopin!........... Somebody forgot to spank that kid a long time ago!!! Spank your kids!!!! & Don't ever even bring up the words "dunking booth" around me. It's a touchy subject with me.

Man, I'm doing such a nasty job of updating my blog everyday. Where are all my compliments? Here we go with my off the wall style.........as I used to say to my buddy "Bull" when I wanted to get under his skin, "let me break ya off a lil sumpin sumpin"!!
* Made a recent discovery that is even better of my late discovery of the little smiley faces and how Lindsey Byram always had those posted on her messages.......after having satellite radio in my SUV for 20 months, a passenger in my vehicle pointed out to me that if I push the display button on my radio, it will show the name of the song & the name of the band!! WOW!! I can see the name of the band and the name of the song anytime I want! Whooooo!! It was like early Christmas. Now I can even broaden my knowledge of the "who sings that song" game. Good stuff. I'm pumped.
* Notice the Cleveland Indians continue to be en fuego!! I was just hoping to make the playoffs as a wildcard at first. Now, they are only 2 games back of having home field advantage all the way through including the World Series. Man, what I wouldn't give to beat the Braves or Cardinals in the World series. I would even sacrifice a 3-8 football season by the Razorbacks.....oh wait, they will probably do that anyways. DOH!!
* OLE PISS gay cheer: "hotty toddy gosh almighty who the *&#$ are we"?? (man, how bad do I hate that cheer) I'll tell you who you are: you're a little piss ant school with a bunch of flakes running around. They make me sick. These guys there are flakier than Ritz crackers; more queer than a 3 dollar bill.... 5,000 Van Der Sloot (preppy Aruban murderer boy) look alikes sitting in the student section of the football games dressed in there Navy Blazer and Khaki's wearing tennis shoes getting drunk and tossing their beer bottles into the back of the endzones the whole game. Meanwhile, security is lined up across the endzone just chasing after the beer bottles in the endzone like a dog chasing a bone. It's like its no big deal!! .........It gets worse. I dated a Mississippian (yes, really I had a date) a few years ago who was a huge Ole Miss fan, just as they happened to get decent in football. No lie, she and other Ole Piss fans referred to QB Eli Manning as the "Messiah", and they referred to Oxford, MS as "God's country"!! What! How annoying! Y'all suck 99 percent of the time, you field one decent team and now your QB is called the "Messiah" and Oxford, basically Trumann with a campus in it, is called "God's country"!! Whatever! Can't wait to go to Oxford in a few months and watch the Hogs shove it down their throats.
* How sad is this? Watching the beginning of the Giants/Saints Monday night football game and they are announcing the lineups like they usually do where the player introduces his name and where he went to college. They are going through all the guys and they are saying for example: "Warrick Dunn, University of Florida State".........then they get to Carlos Emmons, who played at Arkansas State. Emmons does his introduction like this: "Carlos Emmons, Lanier High School" HAHHAAHA! I couldnt' stop laughing, dude was too embarassed to say where he played college football, so he went the high school route. Classic!! Epic!! You know Steve Roberts chunked the remote across the living room when he saw that.
* How old am I! I'll tell you how old I am, I have a class reunion next weekend. That's when you know your softball/basketball days are limited, and your weekly visits to see Dr. Jellyfinger are right around the corner. This is crazy! I can remember when I was a kid, my parents going to their class reunions on Friday nights, and thinking how old they are going to 20 year class reunions. Now its me going to a 10 year reunion!............you know everyone will show up with their wives/husbands and pictures of kids.....then, you've got me rolling up in there solo with my kool-aid mustache on my lip talking about how sorry my fantasy football season is going! Yes sir, it's not easy being this cool! I'm figuring I'll get the "you look the exact same" quote at least from 10 different people. Is that good? I don't know!.............I hope all 3 of you enjoyed my update! I'll catch y'all on the flip side! OUT!!

My blog is back from construction, lets just call that construction "operation shutdown." Some major things took place on my blog. I added one whole picture, my newest nephew. That's it! What a facelift! That's some serious changes!......... Anyway, I don't have any big "Steve Gibson you won't believe what happened at work stories" to put in my blog, so I'm just gonna do some off the wall "Cowbell" as the Sportsguy on Page 2 ESPN calls it.
* My nephew weighs 9 lbs, which everybody says is big. I thought 9 lbs was kind of light. Anyway he's 21 inches long (does that tell us something???) and weighs 9 lbs, or 1/50th of what Andro Jones weighs.
* Watching a Hurricane Katrina fundraiser on TV tonight, and they show some helicopter views of the city and start playing some music (yeah, this is where networks always screw up). What song do they play? They play that new crappy Green Day song. Green Day, you know the one that has the title of their CD "American Idiot"....the ones that hate America, and we play their song on the biggest disaster we've had. If I'm in MGMT at that station, somebody's getting fired for playing that song.
* Speaking of songs, wouldn't a good song for Steve's blog to play "Bad Day Again" by Fuel. Can't you just picture reading Steve's blog about how work sucked that day, and in the background you've got a little music playing "had a bad day again."
* Speaking of that song "Bad Day Again", I remember when I 1st got that CD I thought it was the worst song on what was a good CD. A few months later I somehow learned to love the song and found myself in the shower hollering uncontrolably "smeared the lipstick on er face"..........the best use of the song was when I was at an Arena Football game in Southaven,MS and the home team was getting thumped. It was near the end of the game, and there was a timeout, and the PA Announcer started playing "bad day again" over the system. I was on the floor rolling not believing that the home team was playing that song about their own team. NOTE: Maybe the Braves should play that after the games at their stadium when they lose in the playoffs again. What do you think Steve?
* About baseball. Sweet, how hot are my Cleveland Indians? They are playing lights out right now. If we get Indians/Braves World Series it would be too sweet. If that happens, here is the schedule: Game 1 & Game 2 are in Cleveland and will be watched at my house on the Plasma. Games 3, 4, 5 are in Atlanta so we have to shift over to Steve's place on his big screen for his home field/house advantage. Games 6 & 7, if necessary, will shift back to Cleveland & Paragould at my ponderosa. Everyone is welcome to these games if they happen. Anyone who roots for Cleveland, and against Steve will get special treatment at my house....you know, things like Garage parking, handling of the remote control, use of my clean bedroom bathroom, unlimited access to the all you can eat pop-sicle buffet. Stuff like that.
* About eating. Saw yesterday where the guy that won the hot wing eating contest at Buffalo's in Paragould won by eating 15 wings in 2 minutes? What? That's it? Couldn't believe it. I could have came close to that. Mike G would have smoked that time of 2 minutes. We should have taken Mike G back up to the cabin at the river the day before the eating contest for a little "pre-eating training" & then dropped him off at Buffalo's on "gameday" errrrrr "eatday". Mike would have ate 20 wings in 30 seconds, and then just lay back while sucking on cold hot dogs just for kicks while the other contestants try to catch up. I think the winner got to go to Nationals in the ATL. Too bad Steve.
* By the way, the clock is wrong on my blog. When it says I posted at 11:00 on Friday night, it really means like 9:00 Saturday morning. I mean what 28 ("30 something" according to Dave U) year old is home on his computer busting on Steve and music on a Friday night. Not me! Maybe the time on my blog got messed up while all that major construction was going on at my blog while it was shutdown. Yeah, that's it. That has to be it.
I watched a little of the Paragould/Green Co. Tech football game last Friday. I was sitting there, and then it hit me "when was the last time I watched 22 white football players run up and down the field at one time"???? I couldn't think of a time. I finally thought of "School Ties", the mid 90's movie with Matt Damon in it where the throwback Harvard team was playing Yale or something. It was definitely a "Caucasion Invasion" that night, and that was different. I was used to the McArthur days where it was us at West Memphis Wonder and it was me and 9 black dude's running up and down the court. That was a lot of pressure on the lone white kid. I'll always remember what some guy in college said after we were at a Razorback basketball game at Bud Walton arena vs Ole Miss....he said "do you ever just sit back and think about how weird it is, that you basically had 20,000 white people watching 10 black people run up and down the courts"?? I thought that was funny & ironic but hey a "W" is a "W".
* Speaking of race, which by the way no one ever wins playing the race card. How many athletes go on TV and say something about race whether it be black or white, big or small, and the next thing you know its all over TV and front page of every paper. It always pisses people off. See Kanye West recently, and Jessie Jackson everyday.
* That's the end of the "cowbell". I'm gonna go watch the Saharra. I'm hoping its good, but after the last movie I watched being "Anchorman" it will be hard to surpass that. Or maybe "Anchorman" just seemed good because the last movie I watched before that was the "Village" per Steve's request. WORST MOVIE EVER! .......LATE!!

Driving down the road awhile ago I realized why the song by Simple Plan called "Untitled" is called that.....BECAUSE THE SONG SUCKS SO BAD THEY COULDN'T COME UP WITH A SONG TITLE THAT WOULD STINK ENOUGH TO DO IT JUSTICE, SO THEY JUST WENT WITH "UNTITLED" RATHER THAN SAYING THE WORD "SUCKS" 38 TIMES OVER & OVER AGAIN. WITHOUT A DOUBT, ONE OF THE WORST SONGS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC!!!!!!!!!
If you hadn't heard, check this out.........Florida Marlins batboy gets suspended for 6 games for taking a bet from LA Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny where Penny bet the batboy that he couldn't drink a gallon of milk within in hour without vomiting. Penny was going to give the kid $500.00 if he could pull it off. Anyway, the batboy accepts the bet; seriously, like what kid wouldn't want a chance at $500 for drinking some milk? Plus, the bet was coming from a major leaguer. No kid wants to turn down a bet from a real major league baseball player. You want to be cool and get to hang with them. He had to take the bet. Anyway, the Florida Marlins organization finds out that he drink a lot of milk before the game, and they decide to suspend the batboy for 6 games. It's not like he did a bad job either; he was still able to be the batboy that game just like every other game. Brad Penny's quote to the newspaper once he found out, "It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10 game suspension for Steroids and a 6 game suspension for Milk"............haha! Can Major League Baseball ever do anything right? No they can't.........Back to the kid, so does this go on his criminal record, you know, drinking too much milk on the job and getting suspended from your job? Is this going to cost him from getting a job in the future? Will this keep him from getting a college scholarship? Should we be doing "Milk Screens" up at work for our employees?
