SPC @ NC - Greensboro Tonight, Rock Out With Your Cock Out!!!

2006-12-21T11:25:00.000-05:00

Click Link in Title to Meet the Team

Rock out with your (Pea)cock out...

I have to be honest as I haven't been posting a lot lately here or anywhere else and for no good reason...but it is time to get NCAA basketball season into full swing. The Peacocks and the Pirates are the only two teams that I root for every year. Good or bad. SPC is not a great team after losing Kee Kee (playing in Greece). But the coaches in the MAAC picked them to be the worst team in the conference. They are wrong. With four returning starters in Orta, Sowell, Spann, & Martin the cocks will hang in the MAAC. They won their first game against the Loyola Gayhounds (picked to finish in the middle of the pack) and played a close game with the Marist Red Foxes (who were picked to finish atop the MAAC, and should probably be in the top 25 in the country).

Now they take a break against the MAAC and play two very talented teams on the road. They take on NCG tonight. Last year against NCG they stomped all over them but that was with Kee Kee so I don't know...we'll see as they currently have the same record as SPC but against a much weaker schedule. Next up they take on Florida State. FSU (9-2) is a very very good team. They have already beaten Florida (remember them, they won it all last year and returned their starting five in 2006/2007). Their only two losses this year came against Pitt & Wisconsin, who are two teams ranked in the top ten in the country. FSU probably has one of the best players in NCAA B-ball with Al Thornton. This will be a tough matchup for SPC on their home floor but I like playing tough games against good teams early in the season. It means we'll be ready to play the teams in our own conference who consequently play inferior teams to pad their record.

I'll take a win in one of these games...hopefully. The MAAC is tons stronger than a lot of the experts think so the Peacocks don't have an easy road. But SPC has a young coach in John Dunne (former Louis Orr assistant at SHU) who so far has liked to run and gun (surprising since he was an assistant under Louis Orr). Not to mention the fact that he has brought in some good young players already (also surprising since he used to be an assistant under Louis Orr, a notoriously lazy recruiter). We got a three ball expert in Orta and rebound monsters in Todd Sowell & Tim Spitler who comes off the bench (in the loss to Marist, SPC still won the battle of the boards). In Kevin Spann we have a player who just does it all (see last year's trip to the MAAC tourney championships, where he played as well Keydren). Martin can 'bound and put 'em back in but mainly he is a defensive guy who clogs holes with his big frame. The only guy who gets major action yet I really don't like much is Kinzey Reeves. The guy is seven foot and he takes too many jumpers (and to make it worse a lot of them are for three points!). He's just a big clumsey white guy...if Coach Dunne can get him to move a little closer to the basket that could go a long way.

Saint Peter's College may fall last alphabetically in their conference but they certainly won't finish last this season. Mark my words...they will play deep into the MAAC tournament come March. And when you have a good program with good kids, you never know, maybe we'll dance.

Rock Out with Your Cock Out!

Indeed.

PS - Hey Craicer, how about an SHU preview as we open this NCAA season. It's getting cold but things are sure to be heating up, eh? Bring it!

What lies inside?

Rocky would say "to you it's Thanksgiving, to me it's Thursday." I am posting this on the site of the one and only Jersey Devil in order to welcome him back to the fold, and encourage his beer and whiskey fueled participation. I am not exactly sure what sort of person Abraham Lincoln was, but impressed with him I am. In him, the force must surely have been strong. I could have gone and posted this to my own site, in which case two or perhaps three people may have read it. Instead I chose the mass market; five, maybe even six may read it here!! Dude, your phone is ringing...and it's Abraham Lincoln, delivering the proclamation of Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday. God bless us and God bless America...

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore.

Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.

And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

Dirty Jersey

2006-09-12T14:08:00.000-05:00

NOt for the eyes of children!! There is swearing in this but it's
funny as all hell and you have to read it!

Yeah, I'm from jersey, have been all my life. I'm gonna give you everything about jersey, the good, the bad, and
the ugly.

First... New Jersey people are conceited. It's true. We hate
everyone else. And we think we are better than everyone else. And we never stop talking about how great new jersey is. Then we tell people to "shut the fuck up" when they tell us all we talk about is jersey. I just recently was in the south ... and I can honestly say, that I do think I am better than them. It's not my fault. It's cause I'm from jersey.
My friends and I were the rudest, most obnoxious people there. Everyone just stared at us. Then we saw other rude people, and I asked them where they were from. They said jersey.

Why are New Jersey people self centered? Because we have reason to be.

First of all, some of the most famous people have come from our
state. Just to name A FEW... Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Kevin Smith, Whitney Houston, Martha Stewart, Lauryn Hill, Catch 22, Anne Hathaway, Queen Latifa, My Chemical Romance, Bon Jovi, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis, The Four Seasons, Danny Devito, Tom Cruise .. and the list Goes on.

Not only do we have famous people, we rank in the top 10 of smartest states every year.

Not only are we smart and famous... we're rich. Bergen, Somerset, Morris, and Hunderton counties rank in the countries top 15 richest counties. And despite the slums of Newark (yes, Newark, not New -ark) and Camden which are some of the countries most dangerous places to live, we have 4 of the top 10 safest cities to live in the US.

And we smell? Yeah, we do. New Jersey smells like ASS. On the
turnpike, between exits 14 and 17. That's like, 5 percent of the
entire state.. Bayonne, Port Newark, and Secaucus. And the surrounding areas. That's it. The majority of the state smells like trees. Because the majority of the state is trees. In fact, three of New Jersey's cities rank in the countries top 10 least polluted cities. So shove it.

New Jersey is ideal. I live 30 minutes away from New York City and 30 minutes away from the famous jersey shore, which by the way is amazing.

You think your beach is better? Fuck you. Why do you think MTV's true life had an episode titled "I'm a Jersey Shore girl." Because it's the best fucking shore in the country. And it's 15 minutes to the nearest mall-- 20 minutes to the next, and a half hour to the next. I just Counted 7 malls within a half hour of my house. Find me another state that has all that to offer.

Yeah, we have accents. Who gives a shit? Everyone has an accent. And no, we don't say "Joisey." We do say "cawfee and tawk." But I can tell you it's a hell of a better accent than you bitches from the south.

And WE can't drive? NO.. YOU can't drive. Like I said before, I
was just in the south. The speed limit sign read: speed limit 60.. minimum 45. WHAT? That's why you people can't drive. Who has a minimum speed limit? New Jersey drivers like pissing other people off solely because of the reputation. This is what we will do... just letting you know...if we see out of state license plates, we'll tailgate your ass. Probably because you're only doing the speed limit and we want to go 20 over. Then, we'll cut you off... and go slow in front of you.
Because we can. And because when you go home you're gonna complain about us. We like it, it doesn't bother us. And that's what we want.

We like fast things. Things move too slow in other states. You can tell that someone's from New Jersey by the way they walk. They walk really fast and have a strut that says "I'm better than you."

Music scene? Amazing. Remember Hunka Bunka?...DJais, and last but definitely not least... TEMPTS!!! Enough said. We also have the best local bands... And the rap scene? I don't know much about that ..but I know it's there. And I know it's good. And obviously the club scene. You don't know club music until you
come into New Jersey... SERIOUSLY.
"We don't pump our gas ... we pump our fists."
Just shut the fuck up until you go to Seaside boardwalk or
Belmar. You'll probably see some of the trashiest, skankiest
girls... and some of the most guido, gelled up hair, armani exchange wearing boys that take too many steroids and have too much sex ... But they are gorgeous and they know how to dance better than anyone you ever met in your life. So yeah, the stereotype that all jersey chicks are trashy, is true ... but only if you go to Seaside. That's pretty much it. The rest of the state is full of confident, beautiful people that speak their mind.

The majority of Jersey people are Italian... or wish they were .And
drink too much beer and smoke too much pot. But, we all love each other. I was at a party the other day and I met these guys that were best friends ... a scene kid, an abercrombie wearing kid, and a ghetto kid. Why? Because we don't give a fuck about labels. Oh yeah and we throw the sickest parties ... in the woods.

What else? Giants, Jets, Nets, and of course the Devils. They're
better than you. So shut the fuck up. And we have more Yankee fans than New York City. Come to jersey with a sox hat on ... I fuckin' dare you!

Hungry? Don't worry. We have 24 hour diners. A million of them. We also have Hoboken which has some of the finest places to eat. And you have not had real Italian food until you come here. Okay? Shut up.

And oh yeah, we say "yo." Often. And "fuck." I don't complain that you say "y'all" so don't complain that I say "yo."

To sum up New Jersey, yeah, most of the stereotypes are true,
probably for about 5 percent of the state. The rest of the state is beautiful.

And yeah, we hate you. We love ourselves. Wanna know why? Because all you bitches hate us. How would you feel if the other 49 states spent all their time talking shit? We deserve to be our own country cause we're that cool.

Ballpark Food

Ballpark
Fare

By Marty Rosen
Photographs by Dan Dry

Ah! A warm, sultry summer evening, the stands well filled with fans, the home team still in contention. The beer-hawker is working his way up the steps-"Hey! Getchyer cold beer! Hey! Getchyer cold beer here!" You beckon for a couple of frosties, secure the foamy beer cup in the seat's cup holder, and settle back with a tray of sushi, or a vegetarian burrito or a styrofoam bowl of clam chowder. Or maybe a barbecued brisket sandwich, or a couple of deep-fried Rocky Mountain oysters (a manly repast!) or a crisp pierogie.

Yes, you are attending a baseball game. But where are the Coney dogs and brats, the peanuts and Cracker Jack? You can still find the standards at the concession stand, but baseball stadium food purveyors are branching out, responding to the upscale tastes of today's fans. Come with us to explore the expanding menus found at major and minor league ballparks around the country.

Baseball has its share of controversies: bat corking, steroids, Pete Rose, the designated hitter, revenue sharing and the like.

A plate of nachos feels right at home near Slugger Field's home plate.

But last spring, it was a menu change that roiled Yankee Stadium, aroused the ire of traditionalists, and attracted attention from baseball pundits around the world. Specifically, Frito-Lay decided to replace the waxy box in which Cracker Jack had been sold for a century with a plastic bag. The management at Yankee Stadium cried foul, and ejected Cracker Jack from the arena, replacing it with an item called Crunch 'n Munch. Never mind that Frito-Lay, which bought Cracker Jack in 1997, could be construed as the culprit here, or that a package of Crunch 'n Munch doesn't include a prize (let's face it, the Cracker Jack prizes haven't exactly been collectible the last decade or so). For baseball fans, dumping Cracker Jack was tantamount to doing away with the seventh inning stretch or allowing major leaguers to use aluminum bats. So the fans at Yankee Stadium gave this plan a rowdy Bronx cheer, and in June, after an enormous fan outcry, Cracker Jack was returned to its rightful place (though not its rightful price: in major league parks, it's not unusual to pay five or six bucks for a box of Cracker Jack).

The Cracker Jack controversy was a powerful lesson about the symbolic importance of ballpark food (not to mention being an interesting lesson in the power of branding).

For Americans - and for international tourists visiting the United States - ballpark food goes to the very essence of our "foodways": beer, hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jack have furnished the culinary backdrop for ballgames for a century, and, overpriced or not, nearly everyone feels young at heart when slathering yellow mustard, onions and relish on a steamed dog, and devouring it while watching the boys of summer.

In some parts of the country, those core traditions are driving forces. In Los Angeles, for instance, home of the Dodger Dog, 1.6 million hot dogs are sold each season. Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium aren't far behind, selling 1.5 and 1.3 million dogs respectively. And of course those Chicago dogs have to reflect local dog culture, so in Wrigley, that means tomato, neon-green relish, yellow mustard, celery salt and cucumbers and a seeded bun (with absolutely no ketchup). And the hottest spot for inter-league wiener rivalries may be Chicago, where escalating dog wars have reached the point where U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, now offers no fewer than eight different kinds of sausages. In the park's upscale Stadium Club, diners can go beyond dogs, choosing from a menu that includes calamari, dim sum and wok-seared garlic prawns.

New York City is much the same: Shea and Yankee stadiums battle over whose dog will reign supreme. Shea serves up Hebrew Nationals, Strikly Kosher dogs and all-beef Kahn's wieners. George Steinbrenner isn't to be outdone, though: his customers dine on Glatt kosher dogs, Hebrew Nationals, and the legendary Nathan's hot dogs, revered for their natural casings and toothsome bite.

Looking beyond the expected hot dog culture at ball parks, we find that idiosyncratic regional food traditions result in concession stand specialties that vary considerably from, say, Texas, to the Midwest to New England. Catch the Texas League San Antonio Missions, for instance, and you may be chowing down on a chili-laden burrito; at Slugger Field in Louisville, you'll find fried bologna sizzling on the grill; at Boston's Fenway Park, you can dine on chowder from the famous local Legal Seafood restaurants. In Cleveland, the offerings include potato and cheese dumplings; in Montreal, French-Canadian culture is represented by artery-clogging poutine, French fries sprinkled with cheese curd and smothered in gravy. San Francisco's SBC Park has long been noted for its more aromatic (and presumably somewhat lighter) garlic fries.

A team of hot dogs and sausages sizzle at Slugger Field.

Slugger Field is also home to a trove of other traditional goodies: nachos, soft pretzels, elephant ears sprinkled with generous quantities of sugar, and of course the ubiquitous Cracker Jack.

In recent years, though, those traditional and regional favorites have been supplemented as ballparks around the country upped the culinary ante with offerings geared to increasingly sophisticated palates. That's not surprising in cities like San Francisco or Seattle, but even in the heartland the menu is shifting. In Pittsburgh, the Pirates have been vending sushi and Caesar salads for years.

Even minor league parks are part of this trend. Fans at Slugger Field, for instance, can opt not only for traditional ballpark fare, they can also find, not at the game itself, but nestled within the friendly confines of the stadium's concourse, casual fare and micro-brewed beer at Browning's. And if they have an appetite for upscale dining, last spring Anoosh Shariat, one of Louisville's most highly respected chefs, took over the culinary reins at Park Place on Main, another restaurant located on the concourse side of the stadium, where diners can opt for foie gras, lobster mango salad or maple sugar-cured bison accompanied by blackened Hawaiian prawns. Just a few steps away from the crack of the bat diners can find, before or after the game, world-class cuisine, and a wine list that would be quite at home in any major league city.

And perhaps the most surprising trend is the increasing availability of vegetarian food. In Milwaukee, for instance, a center of sausage culture, the Brewers have added soy-based veggie dogs to their 2004 menu.

But other places go even further. PETA, the animal rights organization, each year gives ballparks a "vegetarian-friendly" rating. In 2004, Cleveland topped the list, for its assortment of veggie wraps, pierogies, bean burritos, knishes, vegetarian sushi and the like. The Toronto Blue Jays' SkyDome was recognized for its vegetarian subs, burgers and hot-dogs, and the Oakland Athletics' Network Associates Coliseum for its its gourmet Portobello mushroom sandwich.

Ballpark Menu Highlights

Take a tour of ballpark menu highlights from around the country.

Arlington, Texas
Every little burg in Texas seems to have six or seven smokehouses and barbecue pits, serving up everything from barbecued longhorn and rattlesnake meat to shredded armadillo. In The Ballpark, home of the Rangers, it's smoked brisket.

Atlanta
Media entrepreneur Ted Turner raises bison on his Montana ranch that furnishes the meat for Turner Stadium's bison burgers and bison dogs.

Boston
The Red Sox may be suffering from the curse of the Bambino, but die-hard fans can take comfort in Legal Seafoods chowder-no substitute for a World Series, but sweet consolation nonetheless.

Chicago
In addition to the dogs, the White Sox cater to their burgeoning Latino fan base with a Mexican cantina in the outfield.

Skyline Chili's cheese coneys served up at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark.

Cincinnati
Like barbecue, chili comes in a multitude of regional variations. In Cincinnati, chili spices are influenced by Greek traditions, creating a distinctive style that's immediately recognizable to any aficionado. Skyline Chili is one of the principal proponents of the Cincy-style, and the not-so-humbly-named Great American Ballpark, home of the Reds, dishes up Skyline's cheese coneys to thousands of fans: it's a dog on a steamed bun, slathered with chili, mustard, diced onions and shredded cheddar cheese.

Cleveland
Pierogies are the highlight at Jacobs Field, home of the Cleveland Indians. And where most parks offer nothing but bright yellow mustard, Jacobs Field has long offered up a pungent brown mustard called Bertman's Ballpark Mustard. (Art Modell has long been reviled by Cleveland fans not only for moving the Browns to Baltimore, but for replacing Bertman's with a different brand of mustard.)

Denver
Coors Field is a ballpark in more ways than one; it may be the only stadium in the country that includes Rocky Mountain oysters on the menu.

Detroit
The fastest way to get a food fight started in Detroit is to start talking about Coney Islands (chili dogs in the rest of America). At Comerica Park, home of the Tigers, the Coneys come from a Leo's Coney Island stand.

Houston
In 2000, the Houston Astros moved from the Astrodome to Minute Maid Park, a place with real grass and actual sunlight. But you don't have to restrict yourself to juice: check out Sheriff Blaylock's Chili Parlor or barbecue from Maverick's Smoke House.

Kansas
Food pundit and political poet Calvin Trillin popularized Kansas City as a barbecue mecca a couple of decades ago, so it's no surprise that in the home of big band swing, the Royals' Kauffman Stadium serves up nationally renowned Gates Barbecue.

Los Angeles
Tommy Lasorda didn't ruin his girlish figure on sushi and Caesar salads, more likely it was the famous (some might say infamous) Dodger Dog, always cooked on a grill, never subjected to the nefarious steam and water most baseball dogs are heir to.

Miami
Pro Player Stadium, home of the Florida Marlins, is smack dab in the middle of expat Cuban culture, so it's not surprising that the drink offerings include Cuban Coffee, a high-impact brew that will give you a definite case of the seventh inning jitters. And Pro Player also offers Cuba's signature dish, the Cuban sandwich of roast pork, cheese, pickles and ever-so-crusty bread.

Milwaukee
It's sausage here-brats with red sauce. And though Food & Dining Magazine beer columnist Roger Baylor will beg to differ, can anyone deny that the home of the Brewers is the epicenter of the American beer business, if not beer culture?

Montreal
The Expos announcers call the balls and strikes in French, of course, and Olympic Stadium, in addition to poutine, offers the famous Montreal viande fumé (smoked meat), which will knock the socks off anyone who's gotten weary of mediocre corned beef and pastrami.

Philadelphia
At the Phillies' brand new Citizens Bank Park, which just opened for the 2004 season, you can find several varieties of cheesesteak, including one made by the justly renowned Geno's; look closely, and you might even find some scrapple.

Pittsburgh
At Pittsburgh's PNC Park, home of the Pirates, the cheesesteak comes with a layer of coleslaw. If you prefer, Benkovitz's fish sandwiches, a long-time local favorite, are also available in the park.

San Diego
PETCO Park, home of the Padres, is noted for selling some fine fish tacos. And if you need something heftier, former Padres pitcher Randy Jones has a barbecue stand in the park.

Hot Chick in Burka of the Week

2006-07-10T17:52:00.000-05:00

I know, I know...it's hard to tell if this chick is really hot or not but I bet it's hot being buried and all. I mean, this doesn't look like the fun kind of being buried popular culture would like to point out to us at every turn where the kids bury Daddy up to his neck in beach sand and feed him ice cream. She might have suggested this very thing would be fun and all the guys were so outraged and turned on that they decided it would be best to just kill her.

Anyway, I stole this pic from a site called Dive Desk linked in the title or here.
Dive Desk would like to remind everyone that "Not all mosques are jihadi, but all jihadis come from a mosque!" and "think about it."

PS - "that's just like, your opinion, man."

The Sick Call: Top Reasons

2006-07-07T18:20:00.000-05:00

Excuses For Calling in Sick:

1. The voices told me to clean all the guns today.
2. When I got up this morning, I took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.
3. I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.
4. I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. Okay?
5. Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Skins, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with Sprint, but thank you for calling.
6. The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.
7. I prefer to remain an enigma.
8. My mother-in-law has come back as one of the Undead and we must track her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart and give her eternal peace. One day should do it.
9. I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.
10. I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.
11. I refuse to travel to my job in the District until there is a commuter tax. I insist on paying my fair share.
12. I'm feeling a little disgruntled this morning. You think I should come in?

NEW LAW COMING FROM CONGRESS -- AMERICANS WITH NO ABILITIES ACT

2006-06-27T14:33:00.000-05:00

NEW LAW COMING FROM CONGRESS -- AMERICANS WITH NO ABILITIES ACT (AWNAA)

WASHINGTON, DC - Congress is considering sweeping legislation which provides new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as major legislation by advocates for the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.

"Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they do a better job, or have some idea of what they are doing."

The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service,
which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack job skills, making this agency the single largest US employer of Persons of Inability.

Private sector industries with good records of non-discrimination against the Inept include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%), and home improvement "warehouse" stores (65%). The DMV also has a great record of hiring Persons of Inability (63%).

Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million
"middle manager" positions will be created, with important sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.

Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees.

The legislation also provides for substantial tax breaks to corporations which maintain a significant level of Persons of inability in middle positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.

Finally, the AWNA ACT contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the Nonabled, such as
discriminatory interview questions such as "Do you have any goals for the future?" or "Do you have any skill, talent or experience which relates to this job?"

"As a Nonabled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, MI due to her lack of notable job skills. "This new law should really help people like me." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Said Senator Ted Kennedy, "It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her adequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation."

David Sedaris - You Can't Kill the Rooster

2006-06-16T14:20:00.000-05:00

David Sedaris is one of the funniest writers that I have ever read. Below is a sample of his writing from the book "Naked" as it appears on his brother's website. His brother is a character as are mine and this is definitely something I can relate to (although I am more like The Rooster than David Sedaris) as a sibling. Recently I read "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and I cannot reccomend a book more...But if you are homophobic or a little racist against Greek people, you might want to stick to Dave Barry for your humor. Anyway, enjoy and have a good weekend.

See Link in Title for the Rooster's Website and then go to Amazon or an actual bookstore and pick up some of David Sedaris's stuff. You won't regret it.

You Can't Kill the Rooster

He'll never hold elected office or own more than one sport coat, but you won't find anyone more loyal than my younger brother

By David Sedaris Jun 1, 1998

When I was young, my father was transferred, and our family moved from western New York State to Raleigh, North Carolina. IBM had relocated a great many northerners, and, together, we made relentless fun of our new neighbors and their poky, backward way of life. Rumors circulated that locals ran stills out of their toolsheds and referred to their house cats as "good eatin'." Our parents coached us never to use the titles ma'am or sir when speaking to a teacher or shopkeeper. Tobacco was acceptable in the form of a cigarette, but should any of us experiment with plug or snuff, we would be automatically disinherited. Mountain Dew was forbidden, and our speech was monitored for the slightest hint of a Raleigh accent. Use the word y'all and, before you knew it, you'd find yourself in a haystack French-kissing an underage goat. Along with grits and hush puppies, the abbreviated form of"you all" was a dangerous step on an insidious path leading straight to the doors of the Baptist church.
We might not have been the wealthiest People in town, but at least we weren't one of them.
Our family remained free from outside influence until 1968, when my mother gave birth to my brother, Paul, a North Carolina native who has since grown to become both my father's best ally and worst nightmare. Here was a child who, by the time he had reached second grade, spoke much like the toothless fishermen casting their nets into Albemarle Sound. This is the thirty-year-old son who now phones his father to say, "Motherfucker, I ain't seen pussy in so long I'd throw stones at it."
My brother's voice, like my own, is high-pitched and girlish. Telephone solicitors frequently ask to speak to our husbands, and room-service operators appease us by saying, "That shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes, Mrs. Sedaris." The Raleigh accent is soft and beautifully cadenced, but my brother's is a more complex hybrid, informed by his professional relationships with marble-mouthed, deep-country laborers and his abiding love of hardcore rap music. He talks so fast, 'you find yourself concentrating on the gist of his message rather than trying to decipher the actual words. It's like speaking to a foreigner and understanding only the terms motherfucker, bitch, and hoss and the phrase "You can't kill the Rooster."
"The Rooster" is what Paul calls himself when he's feeling threatened. Asked how he came up with that name, he says only, "Certain motherfuckers think they can fuck with my shit, but you can't kill the Rooster. You might can fuck him up sometimes, but, bitch, nobody kills the motherfucking Rooster. You know what I'm saying?"
It often seems that my brother and I were raised in two completely different households. He's eleven years younger than I am, and by the time he reached high school, the rest of us had all left home. When I was young, we weren't allowed to say "shut up," but by the time Paul reached his teens, it had become acceptable to shout, "Shut your motherfucking mouth." The drug laws had changed as well. "No smoking pot" became "No smoking pot in the house," before it finally petered out to "Please don't smoke any pot in the living room."
My mother was, for the most part, delighted with my brother and regarded him with the bemused curiosity of a brood hen discovering she has hatched a completely different species. "I think it was very nice of Paul to give me this vase," she once said, arranging a bouquet of wildflowers into the skull-shaped bong my brother had left on the dining-room table. "It's nontraditional, but that's the Rooster's way. He's a free spirit, and we're lucky to have him."
Like most everyone else in our suburban neighborhood, we were raised to meet a certain standard. My father had dreams of me becoming a great athlete and attending an Ivy League college. While I was happy to bottle and diaper my first football, I had no interest in actually throwing the thing. My grades were average at best, and eventually I learned to live with my father's disappointment. Fortunately, there were six of us children, and it was easy to get lost in the crowd. My sisters and I managed to sneak beneath the wire of his expectations, but I worried about my brother, who was seen as the family's last hope.
From the age of ten, Paul was being dressed in Brooks Brothers suits and tiny red clip-on ties. He endured soccer camps, church-sponsored basketball tournaments, and after-school sessions with well-meaning tutors who would politely change the subject when asked about the Rooster's chances of getting into Yale or Princeton. Fast and well-coordinated, Paul never minded sports just so long as he was either stoned or winning. School failed to interest him on any level, and he considered it an accomplishment to receive an occasional D-minus. His response to my father's impossible and endless demands has, over time, become something of a mantra. Short and sweet, repeated at a fever pitch, it goes simply, "Fuck it," or, on one of his more articulate days, "Fuck it, motherfucker. That shit don't mean fuck to me."
My brother politely ma'ams and sirs all strangers but refers to friends and family, his father included, as either bitch or motherfucker Friends are appalled at the way he speaks to his only remaining parent. The two of them recently visited my sister Amy and me in New York City, and we celebrated with a dinner party. When my father complained about his aching feet, the Rooster set down his two-liter Mountain Dew and removed a fistful of prime rib from his mouth, saying, "Bitch, you need to have them ugly-ass bunions shaved down is what you need to do. But you can't do shit about it tonight, so lighten up, motherfucker."
All eyes went to my father, who chuckled, saying only, "I guess you have a point."
A stranger might reasonably interpret my brother's language as a lack of respect and view my father's response as a kind of shameful surrender. This, though, would be missing the subtle beauty of their relationship.
My father is the type who will recite a bawdy limerick by saying, "A woman I know who's quite blunt / Had a bear trap installed in her...' oh, you know. It's a base, vernacular term for the female genitalia." He can absolutely kill a joke. When pushed to his limit, this is a man who shouts, "Fudge!" and sometimes follows it with a shake of his fist and a hearty "G. D. you!" I've never heard him curse, yet he and my brother seem to have found a common language that eludes the rest of us.

Sidenote: I think Amy Sedaris mentioned above is the Amy Sedaris from "Strangers with Candy" on Comedy Central who also is a stand up comedian that appears quite frequently on David Letterman. I have not confirmed this but if anyone does please let me know.

Give Me Some Inner Peace Before I Wipe The Floor With Ya!!!

2006-06-05T18:52:00.000-05:00

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started and never finished." So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel. Please pass this on to those you feel might be in need of inner peace.

For those of us who lose sight of how lucky we have it (I'm not trying to guilt you as I am reminding myself as well), we should all have to witness the atrocities of the Congo or witness what has become of Africa in general. Remember how lucky we are to live in the United States...Life can be pretty cruel and unfortunately it has been very unkind to the people of the Congo.

George Carlin's new rules for 2006 Body:

Happy Thirsty Thursday!!

Enjoy and be safe!!

:D-Whitey xo

George Carlin's new rules for 2006

New Rule: - Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com!There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don'tparticularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of thefootball team is doing these days: - mowing my lawn.

New Rule: - Don't eat anything that's served to you out a windowunless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a humanfinger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than adollar. What did you expect it to contain? Salmon?

New Rule: - Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with theirhot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged.& amp; nbsp; I have a better description for these kids: - lucky bastards.

New Rule: - If you need to shave and you still collect baseballcards, you're gay. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of youridols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule: - Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much mencare about your eyebrows: - do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule: - There's no such thing as flavored water. There's awhole aisle of this crap at the supermarket? Water, but without thatwatery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You wantflavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's yourflavored water.

New Rule: - The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger theasshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy,half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino,> extradry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're aflaming asshole.

New Rule: - I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from slidingmy card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount,deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kidwho is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my AlmondJoy.

New Rule: - Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in itdoesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. Andit t ransl ates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anythingspiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're notspiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: - I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry forM&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.

New Rule: - If you're going to insist on making movies based oncrappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in theCineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens.Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the firstplace is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: - No more gift registries. You know, it used to be justfor weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations fromrehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it foryou isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule: - And this one is long overdue: - No more bathroomattendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mintlike I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he'ssupposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. don't want to beon your webcam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

New Rule: - When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to knowin months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.

A Woman at work passed this around, she was cute and asked me to post it on the blog, so of course thinking with the wrong head here it is:

On May 15th, do not pump gas - as a protest of the high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places. There are 72,110,073 members currently on the network, and the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up. If people don't go to the pump on May 15th, it would take $2,163,302,190 out of the oil companiess pockets for just one day. So please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and let's try to put a dent in the oil industry for at least one day.

Crop Circles & Remote Viewing

2006-05-02T12:40:00.000-05:00

Listen to the real secrets the U.S. Gov. is keeping from us!!!!

C/O Coast to Coast AM with George Norry and Art Bell

Crop Circles & Remote Viewing

Dr. Simeon Hein, the director of the Institute for Resonance, returned to discuss his study of subtle-energy sciences including remote viewing and crop circles. He believes the origin of circular crop formations can be either extraterrestrial or man-made, but both types represent a "larger pattern of communication" between humanity and ETs. In the case of manmade crop circles, he commented that ETs may be influencing the circlemakers in their designs.

The symmetry of both types of circles creates a "resonance technology" which may account for some of the unusual effects found at the sites, which include bent stalks and exploded nodes, he detailed. The circular shapes, he theorized, might become like "photonic crystals" when combined with sunlight and elicit "coherent disturbance effects."

Remote viewing teaches you how to pick up subconscious information and allows more access to intuition, said Hein. He shared a session from a number of years ago when he "bilocated" while viewing the destruction of the dinosaurs, and experienced vivid impressions of the Earth, as though he was actually there. The world transformed from a blue-skied paradise into a cold, grey, dust-covered realm-- suggesting to him that a cataclysmic event caused rapid global cooling. Hein also discussed his remote viewing of Mars' Cydonia region, which he saw inhabited by an advanced humanoid civilization, that lived and worked underground there, millions of years ago.

Crop Circle Experiment

In June 2002, Simeon Hein and his team created a small crop circle in Kansas. Anomalous lights appeared in photos taken at the site, which supports the idea that "manmade formations create paranormal effects," Hein writes.

Let's talk about squirrels baby, let's talk about you and me, let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be. Seriously though, I hate squirrels, rodents in general, but mainly squirrels. My good friend, the Reverend Gisher has tried to warn us that they are infiltrating our society at an alarming rate...see Less People, Less Idiots for more on this topic & others (I'd give you the direct link to the post that I am referencing but this man posts so much that you might need a bucket, a shovel, and a flashlight to find it.) He also appreciates a good Nixon photo so this picture was mainly for him! What is it about squirrels that frightens me so, you might ask? Well, think about it. What would be worse, to be attacked and killed by a lion or by a single squirrel? A lion would kill you almost instantaneously but the squirrel would torture you. I heard they use that Chinese water torture but I am sure they have a whole bag of tricks hidden in their unholy hideouts in the sky. Hopefully this thought keeps you up at night...it does for me. People need to be more proactive about squirrels in our yards. All squirrels think they own your nuts. Well they don't...this is America. You borrowed the money to purchase your house and in 30 years you might even own it. Did the squirrels do that? No, they just come into your yard whenever they deem it necessary and as their diet dictates, grab your nuts, and off they go. Sometimes they just threaten to come into your yard, hopping from tree to tree , often precariously dangling at times above your head. Do you want a squirrel to fall on your head and kill you. If so, be my guest, I don't and honestly the whole thing smacks of terrorism. Just recently I peeked out my back door and saw a squirrel picking through my wheel barrel that was full of dirt and stone. Of course he didn't ask my permission first and honestly I don't know what he was after but I bet it was something diabolical. President Bush in 2001, launched the war on terror and despite an article (see link in title) stating that this included strategic measures to root out rodents...I haven't seen the results. In fact I think this whole war in Iraq thing has distracted the president from the one true course. Believe me when I say that you will not feel safe until squirrels are eliminated altogether. First it was our nuts, but don't think that they will stop there. Go out and buy a compound bow and kill every single one of those little mofo's that you can (I'd say buy a gun & shoot them but most towns have crazy laws about you firing guns willy nilly at squirrels in your yard). Do you think the squirrels wouldn't kill you if they had the chance? Are you willing to take that risk? If we don't protect America then who will?

Next Week: Evil Bunnies, are they secretly creeping into your yard and eating plants and vegetables? Some call them cute and fuzzy...I call them thieving bastards.

PS - Playboy Bunnies do not fall into the evil bunny category as I have no proof of them ever entering my yard and eating plants and vegetables without asking first...however if I ever see that Heffner guy eating a tulip from my yard again...

Bars Gone Smokeless

2006-04-19T20:42:00.000-05:00

Can I tell you that I went to the pub the other night after bagpipe practice and I felt and uneasiness. The beer was cold, the women hot and the conversation alive but it felt like everyone in the place was uncomfortable. It was like a Twilight Zone episode that wouldn't end. People kept disappearing for a half hour at a time. I think I hate this new law and when it was first proposed I really didn't care one way or the other. Having worked in bars a good portion of my life I just always thought that smoking went hand and hand drinking. Like two hillbilly cousin's who got married down in some trailer park in Alabama.
People in the bar seemed unable to think and the poor slobs who were so addicted to smoking who had to stand outside in the rain and cold must have some serious illnesses by now.
You would think that after all the money smokers pay in taxes and general price just to have cigs to smoke that they would be allowed to do it in peace with a beverage (white Russian) in there hands. Hell even the Dude like a smoke and a beverage now and again.
As much as I hate being trapped in a small unventilated room with smoker, I miss the atmosphere that it brings to a dank, grumpy old man bar that serves a hell of a Caucasian.
Well i guess if the Donkey can get use to it in NY then we can give it a roll here in NJ...but at least here if we hate a law for long enough the make exceptions to it that its like it never exsisted. Then again, we had a gay Gov. and nobody knew it and worse nobody cared.

Where there is NJ there is a Way!!!

2006-04-19T11:01:00.000-05:00

I grew up in a New Jerzey town blanketed by the shadow of the great city of New York. True it is that I love NYC but what has happened to their sports teams has given me nothing but glee. We house their football teams. The fan base of the teams is compromised mainly of NJ residents...upstate NY fans root for New England teams in growing numbers. And lastly, our winter sports teams have embarrassed and kicked around NYC's sports franchises who for years tormented us. It was that torment and that superiority that New Yorkers held over the Garden State that created this current gloating situation. And I am going to enjoy it while it lasts...Last night, the Rangers choked down another poor finish. They not only got passed by the NJ Devils who won the Atlantic but they also got passed by the Philthadelphia Flygirls. That's right, you heard me. The Rangers who pretty much led the Atlantic Division from wire to wire were in first place on the last day of play during the regular season. They lost and wound up in THIRD place! The Knicks who play in that very same and very aptly named arena have been even more embarassing than the Rangers. The world's most famous arena, MSG, is home to the worst basketball team in the NBA. Simply put, they suck, bad. The NJ Nets have owned them for the last six years. Five of those six years, they have won the Atlantic Division. I can remember having to hear how great the Knicks were while I was growing up but they have only won a couple of Atlantic Division titles during my lifetime...I guess they're not so great after all, huh NYC? Oh well, there's always next year...good luck with that!!!

PS - I said Ha Ha!

Notice that the Nets are above the Knicks & the Devils are above the Rangers...It's been that way for a while so get used to it!

If New Jersey gets a baseball team, I will remain a Mets fan but I am sure that eventually the NJ team would overtake both NY baseball teams...It's just the way it is, New Jersey Rocks. And they tend to dominate in every venue they compete with New York teams for...Click the Nets and the Devils to see where the season standing stand at the close of the NBA & NHL regular seasons.

LETS GO NEW JERSEY!

BBQ Season in Full Effect - Bring on the Weiners!

2006-04-13T10:34:00.000-05:00

After 4 long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: Routine....
1) The woman buys the food.
2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
Here comes the important part:
4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine...
5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
Important again:
7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine......
8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off". And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.......

This Public Service Announcement was brought to my attention by the major playa' over at the Aurora - Senor Donkeyhue

Its time to give the real devil her due

2006-04-08T20:47:00.000-05:00

Today I gave the real devil her due...The I.R.S. This devil is a greedy bitch that not only takes her share on a stick of gum but on a shot of whiskey. She out ranks me in the evil chain of command downstairs. Do you know how hard it is to make money when its legal and then this cold hearted son of a bitch comes out of no-where and sticks her hand in my pocket and not in a good way. I know all you smokers I see shoveling coal in the fire in purgatory know what I'm talking about.
Taxes are killing me, cant I get an Underworld Boss discount...Nooo.
When is that life sucking bitch gonna stop taking and start giving, like a good woman should. We should at least get a free case of beer out of this deal, although she would probally want to talk to us while were drinking it and ruin all the fun it would bring. At least baseball has started and maybe I will get to see a game live sooner or later.
I need to find a sugar momma who likes angry, sarcastic, shanty potatoe eatin bastards like myself, but good women like that are hard to keep for more the a night or two. And the others you have to let go before they press charges.
Anybody want to get beer and watch the boxing match tonight followed by the Yankees game tonight...Gadfly if your home from Boston this means you...

Freak(s) of the Week

2006-04-06T11:34:00.000-05:00

I'm not shocked by the fact that these particular residents of Brooklyn were somehow playing telephone and got the wrong idea about what really happened before they started rioting. In fact I'm not surprised they rioted at all...nothing surprises me anymore. But why do people always riot in their own neighborhood? Why do they set their own neighborhood ablaze? They attack police officers trying to restore order? They fire bomb police patrol cars? And then they have the absolute nerve to act shocked when the police react...and the police only arrested three people during this most current riot in Brooklyn (always these same PARTICULAR residents of Brooklyn involved?) In my opinion, they are lucky that the police didn't take a night stick to every single person out in the street...but instead they remain incredulous. Somehow, I think it would have gone a little differently in a black neighborhood.

"They treated us like we were dangerous," said Yidi Klein, 31. "It was like the middle of the war, but they made the mess."

How can you be so ignorant? You weren't dangerous? You were setting fires, attacking police, and fire bombing vehicles...sounds like the work of terrorists. Can you say delusional?

See Link in title for whole story:
Schick allegedly refused to turn over his documents. "He started yelling, 'What are you going to do?' " the police source said. Witness Haskel Rosenfeld, 29, said he didn't see any mishandling of Schick.
"Four police put him in handcuffs, walked him down the block and put him in a car," Rosenfeld said. "The police had left, and during that time, people lit fires."

Some say the devil is dead...

2006-04-04T06:40:00.000-05:00

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead,

Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney

More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again,

and joined the British army...

Oh wait, that's the wrong devil. But since the the good old JD has been conspicuously absent from these pages for a while, it was only natural that whisperings concerning his fate should start circulating. What else could possibly keep him from sharing his wisdom with us on a regular basis? It would seem that he has joined other legendary figures either in death or in self-imposed exile. Amelia Earhart, Jim Morrison, and now, perhaps the Jersey Devil.

Like all tragic pop cultural icons who disappear under mysterious circumstances, his uncertain fate has spawned an outbreak of JD related merchandise. Books are being written, benefit concerts planned, and albums produced. There may even possibly be a reunion tour by former Jersey boys From Good Homes held in his honor. The true indication of his impact is the recent release of a video game bearing his name and likeness. But will the masses who gobble up the crass comercialization of the JD truly appreciate all that he has meant to those who knew him? Can he succeed in preserving a dignified legacy where so many others have failed?

Even now, somebody claiming to be the JD has resurfaced, making comments about being denied access to a certain baseball-themed blog. Is this truly the Jersey Devil, or just some kerwin looking to cash in on his fame? Have the rumors of his untimely demise been greatly exaggerated? There is only one way to find out. JD, when you get home from work today, put on your JOHNNY DAMON jersey and watch the Yankees. Maybe having a real ballplayer wearing #18 will inspire you, somehow...

He said Anna never had a serious conversation with representatives from Playboy, and that her attire at the party was "not as revealing as people say it is. The only thing they fed off is when she kind of bent over and someone took a picture of it. It's an exaggeration of the truth, and now the Mets are going to miss out on a quality starter and the Orioles are going to benefit."

"Some people are already seeing the trade as a negative thing. There are a lot of things that don't add up when it comes to the reasoning behind it," he said. "There's a lot of heresy, a lot of rumors floating around about the reason why. Lately, a lot of people are suspecting foul play in terms of one thing being said and the truth being different."

Can you spell delusional? Come on Kris, be honest. When your wife says publicly that she will sleep with everyone in the organization from players to grounds crew if you ever cheat on her...what do you expect. Your wife is a wack job who says more dumb stuff on a daily basis than Jessica Simpson in a season of Newlyweds. She got you traded because of her behavior. The bitch is a freak and now she is divorcing you. Don't be jealous because your old team is good now and realized they are better without you and your ding bat wife...now you're being the freak too saying that you think it was blown out of proportion. Why would your wife dress the least bit slutty to a charity event for kids? How can't you see it? Good riddance freak.

The Irishman & His First Game

2006-03-28T17:08:00.000-05:00

An Irish man went to his first American baseball game.
As the first batter got a hit, fans jumped up yelling, "RUN! RUN!"
The Irish man jumped up as well yelling, "Run, laddie! Run laddie!"
The next batter got up and also got a hit. The fans again cheered, "RUN! RUN!"
The Irish man jumped up yelling, "Run laddie! Run laddie!"
The third batter got up, got ball 1... ball 2 ... ball 3 ... ball 4.
The umpire yelled, "Take your base!"
The batter jogged to the base.
The Irish man jumped up and yelled, "Run laddie! Run laddie!"
Another fan looked at him and said, "He does not need to run, for he has four balls!"
The Irish man's jaw dropped, and he turned and said, "Walk with pride, lad! Walk with pride!"

Rock & Roll Part II is played at almost every sporting event...Next time you hear it, remeber that Gary was caught in England and convicted of having child pornography, was expelled from Cambodia for unknown reasons (but apparently related to pedophilia) and is currently on trial in Viet Nam, where he moved after getting kicked out of Cambodia, for molesting little girls (ages 10 to 11)...Remember this and get sick to your stomach.

Hypothetical Conversation of the Week

2006-02-27T12:09:00.000-05:00

Back in January, on the Aurora I had commented on a post with a fictitious conversation between an Iranian leader and an employee discussing lunch plans. See Link in title, but I thought this would be an adequate idea to add to our weekly posts on The Jersey Devil since we all know that while the truth is often stranger than fiction, it doesn't sell newspapers...So without further interruption I present our very own Hypothetical Conversation of the Week:

Setting: Bodie Miller's hippie parent's trailer park
Situation: One week before the Olympics

Dude#1 says: Yo, Bodie-man, what's up with the Olympics bro? You bringing home the golden nuggets, dude?

Dude#2 says: 'Sup man, you gonna shout us out on GMA and get that Katie Couric chick's digits?

Dude#3 says: True dat, Bodie...represent over in Italy kid. Don't let the United States down. The way things are going, we want the world to see that while we rock...we are also totally serious about winning and being good winners, bro. Be prepared, rest up and kick some Olympian ass...Snarf!

Dude#4 says: You guys need to lay off the pipe, man. Bodie's been gone for a week already. He had photo shoots and stuff. Remember, he wanted to go early and hit the bars and check out the scene...Seriously, put the bong down.

Brad Pitt says: Yo Bodie, pick up a six pack and some cleaning products while your out.

Dude#4 says: Bodie's gone dude...put the bong down.

Brad Pitt says: Don't condescend me, man.

Well folks sorry I haven't been around too much lately, IM sure you noticed, but I went and got myself a job, I know I am ashamed of myself for it already. The funny part about this job is that its all computers, even the phone is answered and rings through the computer and I don't even have a desk there yet, let alone a computer. So its kinds of an ideal job, I get paid for nothing until they set me up a desk. IM sure I just cursed myself and when I get in today it will all be there ready to go. Oh well, good things cant last forever, I blame Murphy and his stupid Law.

For those of you who don't know the Craic-Head has been sold into relationship slavery and has been uprooted and moved far away into the abyss of Bedminster NJ. This wouldn't be so bad except that the poor lad is miles from a liquor store or bar, towns and highways away from friends and family. And being the good friends and family we are none of us will go visit him because, well, frankly were lazy. He has fallen to the darkside not even the light of bagpipe practice and whiskey can show him the way to the light. According to my source who will remain nameless, The B, he has tendered his resignation to the pipeband and now will be living a life in solitude from his "no good bagpipe friends!" I was going to plan a jailbreak but that never works out to well for the Irish, someone always dies going over the wall.

Now I know that the Gadfly will jump in here and give all kinds of reasons on why this is a good thing and that I and others will understand better when were are in a relationship similar to Gadfly's and Craic-Head. (his typical excuse when he's not allowed out to play) But I say that's bunk and to keep your "Driving to Conn., bored out of my mind, wife's tool-bag friends" yap closed!

Gadfly was lucky to be out of town a little because The Mattress Cowboys were out again this weekend and looking for a new home to ravage and we all know the like to make the Gadflys life hard. (burn!, burn!, spill!, spill!, punch!, punch!)

Now my new job for today will be a late night, so I expect there to be a 30pack of the REDDOG at the B-Square Bar and large bowl of pretzels, followed by a viewing of the Family Guy and a round or two of Grand Theft Auto or heads will roll!

Oh and Thanks to all who attended the BLESSING OF THE TRI COLORS this weekend and hope to see you all at the St. Paddy's Day Party in March!

Craic-Head let me know when you need a map and a compass to find your way back to MO-TOWN for beers and a WEE Touch!

Freak Of The Week

2006-02-22T11:45:00.000-05:00

First Ozzie Guillen was quoted by SI as saying,"He knew he wasn't going to play for the Dominicans. He's not a Dominican. I hate hypocrites. He's full of (bleep),"

Then he quickly changed his tune and tried to take it all back by saying, "I don't call him a hypocrite in that way. Alex is not a hypocrite. I was just trying to say he doesn't have to please people. He doesn't have to make people from the United States or from the Dominican Republic or from Venezuela happy. When you do that, you sound like you are a hypocrite. You say, 'Hey I want to play for the United States and that's the team I belong on,' move on and that's it."

Earlier this month, Guillen chose not to go to the White House when he was informed that only the team would be making the trip which is pretty standard. Did his family win the World Series or was it his team? This guy is a joke...he obviously thinks A-Rod is a hypocrite but he doesn't have the juevos or conviction to stand by the stupid things constantly coming out of his mouth. Guillen has always been a classless joke but now that he's got a little bit of clout in baseball with a World Series Title under his belt, you can bet we'll hear more ignorant blanketed statements from this loser...and I predict it will get him fired eventually.

This in response from Ken Williams, the White Sox GM after having to put out the fire that his idiot manager ignited, "Ozzie is still growing into his position and the responsibility of his position, as well as am I," Williams said. "We'll continue to evolve in a way that is first class. ... We want to win in a first-class manner and be known as a first-class organization. We got a little bit of work to do, but we'll keep at it."

Seton Hall Up-Down (Beware Digger Phelps)

2006-02-22T00:39:00.000-05:00

I was not going to post on SHU until after the NCAA releases their RPI tomorrow, but I also thought the Hall would beat St. John's. I'm sure that is exactly what Digger Phelps thought Monday night when he proclaimed that "Seton Hall is IN" the NCAA tournament during the Syracuse-West Virginia half time show. I like Digger, especially the way he coordinates his useless highlighter with his tie. But when he made that statement, I thought to myself that this is not a good thing. When two national media figures (Len Elmore also jumped on the Seton Hall bandwagon Monday) cited SHU as a near certainty for the NCAA tournament, AFTER losing to Notre Dame, I feared the worst. On Tuesday night, those fears were confirmed. SJU 58-SHU 47.

This was a disappointing week for the Hall. Coming off the big win against West Virginia, the Pirates lost to Notre Dame and St. John's. Both Notre Dame and St. John's are decent teams in their own right, but both are teams the Hall should beat. A team that goes to Raleigh and beats N.C. State, a team that goes to Syracuse and beats the Orangemen in their dome should win these games. In both instances, the Hall played their opponents game. They tried to run and gun with Notre Dame, and lost. Running and gunning is not the Pirates game. For all my sour grapes and sniping about officials, that is the biggest reason for the blow out loss to UConn. The St. John's game is more bothersome, due to the fact that they became as sloppy as the Red Storm. If, in either game, they had controlled the tempo and worked for the open basket, they probably could have won. Instead, they lost to Notre Dame in one of their highest scoring efforts of the year, and lost to St. John's in one of their sloppiest efforts of the year.

If the Pirates can win at DePaul and beat Cincinatti at home, they are probably on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament. If they add a win at Pitt in the season finale they are (as Digger would say) "IN." Regardless of the ultimate outcome, I think this Pirate team has had a fantastic year. It wasn't always pretty, but this team has done a great job against a very tough schedule. They have done this Seton Hall alumnus (twice over, mind you) proud.

The New & Improved Weekly Top Ten List

2006-02-15T23:11:00.000-05:00

Over at the Aurora, I had promised, that Rhidonculous Rhino, I would not post regarding baseball until the season started...however, I have made no such promises to the rowdy rollicking Jersey Devils aligned with this blog. Besides, pitchers & catchers are already showing up in camp so I figured "what the hey", want to hear it, here it goes. There are those of you out there who are on the fence, you wear half a Mets/half a Yankees jersey and say this kind of garbage,"I like 'em both" and it makes me sick. Pick a side sucker because the bell is about to ring so let's get ready to rumble...For those of you who are undecided, let me help you out...Reposted & updated from an earlier post:

The Top Ten Reasons The Mets are Better than The Yankees...to Real Fans
Can I have a drum roll please...And the Top Ten Reason the Mets are Better than the Yankees Are:

10.) Our very own Nacho Cheese Sauce, because while the Yanks are just cheezy, we are the straw that stirs the sauce...and that's not 'cho cheese!

9.) Mr. Met isn't just a mascot. Seriously, he is just a normal Met fan with a grossly swollen dome. Sure, the Yanks have Freddie Sez with his stupid Yankee propagandist signs but as far as me and Mr.Met are concerned, Freddie sez, "A-rod likes it in the keister and so does Freddie". Just a sidenote but the original Mets mascot was a donkey and that is still better than some obnoxious elderly man.

Click on Donkey to Know Know Know Him

8.) Colors. We are a combination of the Brooklyn Dodgers & the New York Giants. We carry on where the Duke, Jackie, The Say Hey Kid, Dem Bums, & the New York Baseball Giants left off...They hated the Yankees. They loved baseball and the greatest city in the world. They are us. White, Black, Gray, Orange & Blue. Our Colors. Our New York Baseball team. The Major League Baseball team. Period.

7.) "Ya Gotta believe" & "The Miracle Mets" are the lovable losers who win. The Yankees are the Evil Empire. Ya' know it's true so don't even argue with me, Freddie or should I say:

Lord Vader?

6.) Smoking. This probably won't last forever but for now you can smoke outside at Shea Stadium. You can smoke in the runways which are open air. For all the knocks on La Shea, it is not a claustrophobic place (eg - Spankme Stadium). On the ramps running inside the stadium, you can smoke your brains out...It is the final bastion of hope for smokers in a world full of second hand hating. At Yankee stadium, they have a picnic area that is completely outdoors. Can you smoke outside in this area? Of course not...Can you go outside, have a cigarette and come back in...? No pass out and return...Shea is a cigarette smokers paradise.

5.) The 1986 beer guzzling, fist fighting, cursing, hard nosed, and most importantly World Series winning New York Metropolitans or the Scum Bunch as they called themselves. They are the standard and perhaps ESPN put them on the list of greatest teams at #6 (or something like that) but Mets fans know they were #1. They weren't your run of the mill don't laugh, cry, hug, fight, or be human for that matter Yankee team. They were a team, a family and they were the best I ever saw playing together on the diamond and off of it. Read Bats by Davey Johnson...they were as crazy as they were good.

4.) Alex Rodriguez, A-Rod, or Mrs.Jeter...Whatever, you want to call him, I am just glad that he isn't on our team...Note: I felt this way about that evil inbred Clemens as well...Sorry Texans

As if an intelligent person such as yourself would need any more reasons after this, I will nonetheless provide the top three reasons the Metropolitans are a better team to root, root, root for:

3.) Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches. I'm not exactly sure what food is popular at Yankee Stadium (Me thinks it's probably peanuts or some other form of nuts. Yankees & their fans like nuts in their mouths) and I've been there a million times. But I do know that if you go to La Shea, one has to pick up a Sausage & Pepper sandwich. They are Met-xcellent.

2.) Casey Stengel, Gil Hodges, Davey Johnson, Bobby V., And now Willie Randolph...Our managers tend to be characters. They either sound funny, act funny or say funny stuff...They don't ever look asleep on the bench like some managers (namely Joe Torre). They rant and rave like Davey, they win like Gil Hodges with less talent, some wear disguises like Bobby & sometimes they make low budget commercials for national food chains like Willie Randolph...With that I have to say, "Yeah there's a lot of meat on my Sausage & Peppers Sandwich"...Yes, Willie there is a lot of meat on your sandwich. The manager represents the organization and the Mets are just more likeable in every way. Even Yankee fans can't stand George Steinbrenner.

And the #1 reason the Mets are better than the Yankees: The Mets themselves & The 2006 NY World Champion Winning Mets Line-up:

Jose Reyes - Short Stop

Carlos Beltran - Center Field

Cliff Floyd - Left Field

Carlos Delgado - First Base

David "Mr.Met"Wright - Third Base

Lastings Milledge - Right Field

Paul LoDuca - Catcher

Bret Boone, Jeff Keppinger, Kaz Matsui (okay we've got some work to do @ 2nd) - Second Base

Pedro Martinez - Pitching

There are many other reasons for hating the Yankees but I certainly don't have the time to point them out to you now (during the season maybe!). Just remember these simple facts:

Mets Good & Yankees Evil

Always Remember that the

& If you like the Yankees then you are supporting terrorism:

When you miss a putt in Golf and take a do-over, its called a Mulligan. A beer can left half full and warm has been referred to as a Kerwin. And as of now an anonymous poster on a blog page will be called a Kerwin too. Is this a matter of blame or is it just a easy way to name a scapegoat. I say its both and that's the way it is going to be.
This is because the anonymous poster responds to a blog with no sense of identity, no personality, but mostly no name. And this prevents the avid blogger the ability to rip, make fun of, joke with, poke fun at and ridicule. And isn't that the point of writing a blog in the first place? I'm sure some of you are reading this right now with many, many ideas on how to torture and taunt me, as well you should be.
The Anonymous poster is a scared, little, fly by night, wannabe. They risk nothing in the lack luster pursuit of knowledge, but they take and take, like a leech stuck in an artery. All these Kerwins visit bolgs and write uninformed comments and take away from the witty banter being exchanged between its lovable characters.
I'm my humble and superior opinion this is the only name that fits these people. Like the true to life Kerwin, the Anonymous Kerwin thinks his tiny knowledge of a subject grants him a vast amount of information to a topic. Just because you read the paper doesn't give you a mystical knowledge of the inner workings of the world, even though the people in your head tell you it does. Not everything that is brought up requires some obscure comment on how you once were given blueprints to its core.
I could rant and rave some more on this topic but, who cares, I know I don't!

Oh and if you are the real Kerwin, I hope you can take a joke!

Seton Hall Update

2006-02-15T11:53:00.000-05:00

This picture says it all. Seton Hall, coming off the worst thumping of the season since Duke crushed them back in the early going, bounced back and knocked off #11 West Virginia last night in the Meadowlands. The Mountaineers' Joe Herber looks like he expected a cake walk following the Pirates manhandling by the Huskies. He was mistaken. I previously wrote that I had come to believe that this was a game that Seton Hall should win at home, and I believe that still. West Virginia is a very good team. Their #11 ranking is probably a little higher than what they deserve, though. At any rate, the Hall is still playing some of their best ball of the year (with the exception of the UConn game) and hopefully they can keep that momentum going. The most important aspect of this win, after the victory itself, of course, is that the Pirates were able to put the UConn game behind them and come out strong against another very good team. They are playing with a presence of mind and team ethic that bodes well for even more success as they wind down the Big East schedule.

The Pirates next meet up with Notre Dame on Saturday. This is another game that the Hall should win on their home court. No victory in the Big East is an automatic, however, and they will need to play with the same fire they have shown over the past month to win. After the Irish, Seton Hall has road games at St. John's and DePaul. These are also games the Pirates should win, but are also sure to be tough contests. The Hall wraps up their home schedule against Cincinatti, and concludes the Big East schedule at Pittsburgh. For most of this season, I maintained that Seton Hall would have a tough time getting past 15 wins. I am very happy to admit I WAS WRONG! Now, a 20 win season is not out of the question, and an NCAA berth is only a matter of this team continuing to play the way they have been for the past month. I have never been a very big fan of Louis Orr, but I give him a lot of credit. The biggest difference in the Hall's play has been the leadership of Copeland and Whitney, and I believe that is a direct result of Orr's coaching. I had thought that he would be fired at the end of the season; now I consider him a decent candidate for Coach of the Year. Like an NCAA berth, however, that depends on how the Pirates play out their final games.

Elsewhere in the Big East, it looks like the conference could have nine teams in the NCAA tournament. UConn, 'Nova, Pitt, and W.Va. are already a lock. Georgetown and Syracuse should have their tickets punched by the end of the week. Then there is the Hall, Cincinatti, and Marquette, all of which have alot yet to prove, but are well within sight of an invitation. For these teams, 18 wins should be enough, and an extra win in the Big East Tournament wouldn't hurt. The one team that will not be selected with 18 wins is Louisville. With an RPI of 65 they are far below the cut-off point of the selection committee. Their two road wins, Miami and Providence, impress nobody. Their only shot will be to score some road victories down the stretch, which would push them into 20 win territory anyway. Unfortunately, their remaining road games are against Syracuse, West Virginia, and Conneticut.

The Big East Tournament brackets should start clarifying by this weekend. Based on everyone's schedules, it looks like Villanova and Conneticut should get first round byes, while Pitt, West Virginia and Georgetown battle for the two remaining first round passes. Beyond that, the entire bracket is up for grabs, from top to bottom, with only South Florida seemingly out of contention (and even that is not certain). It should be fun. GO PIRATES!

I just thought that I would mention that I got to do one of my most favorite things today because of the snow storm. And that's to drink a bottle or two of Budweiser that has been chilled in newly formed snow after a morning of using the snowthrower as Irish music from Ceol na nGael. In my opinion there is no colder or more refreshing beer at any moment in time. Too bad that you need to wait until a massive amount of snow to have the right circumstances, plus my favorite on air personality is retired. I hope that everyone can enjoy a beer and spend a Sunday listening to WFUV 90.7 (Fordham University Radio) music of the Irish from noon to four.

Move over Jersey Devil, Jim Calhoun is Taking Over

2006-02-11T21:21:00.000-05:00

The fix is in. Seton Hall was ill equipped to deal with Conneticutt's offensive attack. When things looked a little too close in the first half, our Big East refs took over. The Hall never had a chance. Now Brian Laing is lying on the court. Take over your rightful ownership of the grand title of Jersey Devil, Jim. Take your professional athletes. Take your sneaker deals. Take your bad brand of baskeball. Good riddance.

Seton Hall Update, Vol. III

2006-02-09T16:58:00.000-05:00

The Pirates won a tough one against South Florida last night in Tampa. This was a big win for several reasons. First of all, it insures Seton Hall of a winning record this season, making them eligible for the NIT. Next, it moved them one giant step closer to qualifying for the Big East Tournament. Six conference wins may even be enough to qualify when the dust settles on the Big East regular season. Finally, the win in Tampa protects the Pirates outstanding RPI (#27). A loss to South Florida, languishing in the low 200's, would have been devestating to Seton Hall. Their impressive RPI and current six game winning streak has them poised to make a run at an NCAA Tournament bid.

With seven games left, The Hall still has lots of opportunity to accomplish more this season. They have an opportunity to show what they are made of when Conneticut and West Virginia come calling. There would be no shame in a loss to Conneticut, but now that they are getting serious national attention (RPI and AP poll), they need to prove they are worth the hype. A respectable loss is the very least they need against Conneticut. A real close game, or (dare I hope) a win would be a tremendous boost. The West Virginia game is now looking not only like a game the Pirates can win, but perhaps should win on their home court. Certainly, a win would vindicate their surprisingly high RPI.

Assuming that they come back to earth somewhat, and lose to Conneticut and West Virginia, the Pirates still have a very good shot at the NCAA Tournament. With St. John's, DePaul, and Notre Dame on the schedule, it is very foreseeable that the Hall could finish up the regular season no worse than 18-10, 9-7. That alone should be enough to get the selection committees attention. Any additional wins in the Big East Tournament would likely only serve to elevate thier seeding.

Lá le Pádraig (Saint Patrick's Day)

2006-02-08T00:43:00.000-05:00

Now, before I get started, I want to be clear about one thing. I do not want to indulge in any tired old cliches. For instance, as far as I can tell, no one's wars have been merry, and I happen to know a few Irish songs that are not sad. At the same time, I really, really do enjoy potatoes (I enjoy pasta as much, and thank God at least once a week that the brilliant Poles combined the two into the most exquisite food imaginable: the pierogie). I don't put green dye in my beer on Saint Patrick's Day, but I would never look askance at someone who chooses to do so. I do wonder, from time to time, what my Guinness would look like with a liberal supplement of green dye, but only until my attentive server returns with my next pint. With that general disclosure out of the way, let me get on with it.

Ladies and gentlemen (and, uh, gadfly), the high holy days approach! As far as I know, the term "high holy days," when used in relation to the nearing of Saint Patrick's Day, is a reference coined by Irish innkeepers in America to denote the relationship of the impending holiday to the relative strength required to carry all those bags of money out of their taverns and into their banks. I could certainly be wrong about that, and no matter the exact origins of the phrase, the phrase itself seems apt enough for me to use in my Saint Patrick's Day discourse. I will not (for now) get into the spiritual realm. Saint Patrick's Day is indeed a holy day. Being not particularly well qualified to discuss such matters, I'll stick with the aspect of the day that is a celebration of our Irish heritage.

Last year, my brother and sister-in-law's third son was born, and as usual, several members of her family from Ireland visited and stayed on throughout the season that I refer to as the "high holy days." They were surprised, and yet delighted, that my own observation of Saint Patrick's Day would begin the last weekend in February. I was to play the bagpipes at a service in which an Irish-American group that carries a large Irish flag and a large American flag in two local parades would have those flags blessed. It is an annual tradition, a very beautiful tradition, that I was proud to take part in. The ceremony was followed by a fantastic reception, with appetizers, dinner, entertainment, and of course, Guinness. Each subsequent weekend would consist of parades throughout the great, free state of New Jersey. Then there was the high holy day itself, and a couple of parties on the weekend after March 17. Saint Patrick's Day, like the baseball season, is not a sprint. It is a marathon. At this point, if I may be so bold, I ask you, "WHY NOT?" In every corner of this planet, on and around the 17th of March, proud men and women celebrate their Irish birth or heritage. The struggles, sufferrings, triumphs and accomplishments of the Irish people worldwide are worthy of a celebration of such magnitude. By way of illustration, and to pluck just one more reluctant feather out of the cap of John Bull, I say "THE SUN NEVER SETS ON THE IRISH!"

My good friend, the Jersey Devil, used to work every holiday he could, banked all his overtime hours as "comp" time, and took off the entire month of March. I won't lie to you. He is quite familiar with intoxicating liquors. During his time off in March, much more important than that, however, was his pride in his Irish heritage. Those high holy days were spent planning the proud celebration of that heritage, such as the flag ceremony I participated in last year, and not just having a few pints with the lads (although there was surely a bit of that as well). So, as those high holy days approach once again, let's sing loud, sing proud! Here's an early "Happy Saint Patrick's Day" to you, JD, and an early "Happy Saint Patrick's Day" to all!

Seton Hall Update, Vol. II

2006-02-03T18:21:00.000-05:00

Since jd clearly wants more basketball on his site, here goes. The first ever public release of the RPI on thursday saw the Big East place 9 teams in the top 40, including Seton Hall. The Hall moved up from 84 to 37 in the NCAA's power rankings, well within the scope of NCAA consideration. Of course, there are 9 more games to play, but it is a good sign to see that the NCAA people recognize the strength and depth of the Big East. The Hall will play Rutgers on Super Sunday in another crucial game, then heads to Tampa to face South Florida before the road gets really bumpy. The Pirates will face UConn and West Virginia next, followed by Notre Dame. Don't let that 1-6 conference record fool you. The Big East is the best conference in the land, and ND has lost those six games by a combined total 26 points, including 2 OT losses. Their past three losses, all to ranked teams, have been by a total of 6 points (one point loss at W.Va, 2 point loss to Villanova, and 3 point loss to Georgetown). This is a hard luck team that plays good basketball. On Saturday, they face Louisville, who has also been unable to buy a Big East win, so one of them will have to pick up a W. Down the stretch, the Hall is on the road at St. John's and DePaul, then back to the Meadowlands for their final home game against Cincinatti, then finishes up the season at Pitt. This is one of the toughest home stretches I can remember for the Pirates. If they can maintain the intensity they have shown over the past two weeks, that tough schedule should serve them well in March, wherever they play.

Best chance for an upset: SHU over West Virginia

Best chance to be upset: ND over Seton Hall

Must win games: Rutgers, S. Florida, ND, DePaul, St. Johns

Kee Kee in the Place to Be

2006-02-03T09:59:00.000-05:00

Here they come...Iona, can you hear the boys from JC in the place to be? Chill Town's best baller Keydren "Kee Kee" Clark, who this season passed David Robinson for eigth on the all time scorers list in NCAA basketball is rapidly approaching seventh , sits at fifth on the list for three pointers made, and nailed a 10 ft. jumper last night with .3 seconds left to seal the deal against Marist's Red foxes who could do nothing to contain him (SPC 75 Marist 74). Kee Kee, SPC's All-American guard, has put St.Peter's on the map over the last three years and with little fan fare he has led all of NCAA men's basketball players in scoring over that time. This year however it has been bitter sweet for Keydren since George Jefferson, his teamate, best friend and roomate on the JC campus, died over the summer from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is the same condition that squashed Reggie Lewis & Hank Gathers bright futures. Accordingly, Clark has dedicated this season to George and in his memory, he wants nothing more than to dance in March...but there is another goal that would be nothing short of remarkable. If he can lead the NCAA in scoring this year (he currently sits in fifth place 3.3 points behind the scoring leader who is a long haired freak from Gonzaga named, Adam Morrison) he would join Oscar Robertson and "Pistol" Pete Maravich as the only players to accomplish this feat. Just as impressive though is the fact that unlike Pete & Oscar, Keydren is a true scholar athlete. Receiving his undergraduate degree in three years, he currently is 3 credits shy of his masters degree. As I have learned more and more about him, I have really become a fan. St.Peter's is a mid major school...but Kee Kee would have been great wherever he played. This year, I think the MAAC is a lot better than some of the other small conferences that get more attention. For instance, besides Bucknell, who wants to see Army, Navy, Lehigh, who play in the Patriot League? Well, for some reason ESPN thinks I do because there have been a bunch of these games on TV in our area. These schools aren't anywhere near the Tri State and yet we are subject to watching games featuring teams like Indiana & Northwestern...Texas/Missouri...Memphis/Tulsa...This is a post for another day regrettably because I can't complain. I found last night's game on the internet radio site for Marist College & more importantly we won & kept hope alive (Keydren - 32 points and getting closer to Morrison)...You would think ESPN would run with a compelling story about an unheralded elite scholar athlete looking to make history and honor his best friend...but apparently not...This is their loss and our gain because this weekend, Saturday 2/4/06 @ 8:00 PM EST on MSG Network, St.Peter's will look to make up more ground in the MAAC by defeating the Sienna College Saints on the Yanitelli Center Floor inside the campus of the College of Saint Peter's Peacocks...Chill Town baby. So sit back, relax and watch some history as Kee Kee and crew smack the MAAC around in an attempt to get the respect they have earned and deserve.

A Group That I love To Hate

2006-02-02T10:13:00.000-05:00

For you people out there that have ever been stuck in traffic by two dickheads ridding bicycles in the middle of the road. Well it turns out that these two dickheads may be members of a group that I feel is a joke. That group is called Critical Mass (http://critical-mass.info/).
This group is a bunch of wannabe hippies that feel it is their divine mission to have "bike in's" and "happenings" to show large cities that they need more room for bikes on busy streets. They want larger lanes for bicycles, but don't want to share these lanes with the happy rickshaw driver or the fancy pants horse drawn carriages. Their lawyer tells them that they should saw that they want this because it will help decrease the fossil fuel consumption, (which I am in favor of, but I still want to drive a 1963 split window corvette really fast in a school zone), because more people will have the option for safe bicycling.
But the real reason they do this is because need the attention. Its the old look at me!, look at me!, I'm protesting like a hippie in the 60's. Their "rides" are on the busiest streets at the worst possible times, which I feel makes people hate them more then want to listen to them. The average ride, they says has hundreds in attendance, but really has more like 25 to 30 people, is more like the gay pride parade. People take time to put streamers on, decorate, wear Halloween costumes and act like the idiots they are as the average guy/gal at the end of a long day of work sit waiting in their car for it to end.
On numerous occasions according to the NYPD and other police departments, this group after actually applying and receiving the permit to parade have chose to leave their assigned route and menace traffic and cause a disturbance enough to get arrested and charged (a mere $500.00 fine and time served). This puts their lives and the lives of others at risk. It pulls valuable police resources away from "problem areas" and threatens cops and citizens. Police get hurt dealing with these people and their crap-tacular bicycles.
I am personally glad that the City of New York has decided not to ever issue these people a parade permit again and more cities should follow suit.
As always I leave it to you all to make up your own minds and please sound off here. Let me know I'm not the only one out there who misses people with an opinion who know how to express it and not wannabe commie hippies who enjoy being in the paper and telling there friends how the got busted for a cause.

Seton Hall Update

2006-02-01T13:54:00.000-05:00

Seton Hall goes for its 4th straight win tonight against Providence at the Dunkin Donuts Center. The Pirates are more or less where I thought they would be at the beginning of the season. At 12-6, 3-3, the Pirates have lost two games they should have won (Northwestern and Marquette) and lost two important "swing" games that they needed to win to have any realistic shot at the NCAA Tournament this year (@Richmond and @Rutgers). In fairness, Marquette is a lot better than I thought at the beginning of the season, but the Hall should still have come away with a win at home against a very young Golden Eagles team. On the bright side, the Pirates won two road games I thought they would certainly lose; the thumping of N.C. State and the "miracle on hardwood" at the Carrier Dome, where, as the clock ticked down in the second half, Seton Hall actually had more turnovers than field goals. So, they didn't get here exactly the way I foresaw, but here they are, nonetheless. So what is in store for the boys from South Orange?

First of all, let's not get delusional, at least not right away. The NCAA Tournament is still pretty much out of reach. The Big East Tournament and the NIT are not. Three more wins would insure the Hall of no worse than a 15-13 overall record (not including a possible Big East Tournament game). That should be good enough for the NIT and the boys certainly have three more wins on the schedule, it they don't completely fall apart (see 44-42 home loss to Northwestern). They may even win three more games by Thursday of next week. Qualifying for the Big East Tournament will be tougher. The Hall has games against UConn, West Virginia, and Pitt, all teams that are now playing only to determine their seedings in the Big East and NCAA Tournaments. They gobble up small fries like Seton Hall and spit them out as RPI power rankings. They have games against Rutgers, St. John's, and Cincinatti, all of which are similarly situated with the Pirates in the standings and are fighting for their post-season lives. Then there are four games against Big East bottom feeders Notre Dame, Providence, DePaul, and South Florida. However, Providence and South Florida are on the road, and ND and DePaul have both scored big upsets this year. Realistically, I can see the Hall winning 5 of these games, finishing 8-8 in the Big East, and qualifying for the Big East Tournament.

Now, lets put aside reason and accountability. In other words, think like a Mets fan. Let's say the Hall wins their next three games (@Providence, Rutgers, @S. Florida). These are games they should win, so let's go with that. At 15-6, 6-3, they will be poised to make a legitimate run at an NCAA Tournament bid. They don't have to beat UConn or W.Va., but they will have to look good trying (see, by contrast, 93-40 loss to Duke). They next will need to win three of their remaining 5 games (ND, St. John, DePaul, Cincinatti, Pitt). At 18-10, 10-6, they would be firmly on the bubble. A win in the Big East Tournament would seal the deal. It is, in some respects, plausible. What is not plausible is that this team could win 9 of their final 13 games, which is what they will have done if they accomplish this. Toto, we're not in South Orange any more.

Reality Check: In the best case scenario, the Pirates will finish 17-11, 8-8; first round loss in the Big East Tournament, first round loss in the NIT. The worst case scenario would be, well, worse.

Introducing The Craic Head

Since the Devil & I have properly introduced ourselves the only way we know how...by making fun of each other, it is now only appropriate to introduce our brother (who would appear to be, but isn't from another mother). The man who calls himself the great one (although I don't remember voting on that one), better known to some a Maitiu Saad (not the boxer of course), a man who will drive to NYCT in a blizzard for a six pack (and that's why I love him), a man who needs no introduction from me...The Undisputed Disreputable King of the Craicers:

"The Best Movies Ever!"

2006-01-30T19:23:00.000-05:00

One of the greatest movies ever in the Jersey Devil's humble opinion is the BLUES BROTHERS. The amount of comedy by Belushi and Akroyd is priceless, not to mention the huge amount of stars that play supporting rolls. Anyone who has ever seen it can agree that the laughs and the police car crashes just don't stop. There are thousands of quotes from it that people use everyday. The B.B. holds the record for most cars demolished in a movie making only to be challenged by its less then spectacular sequel in the year 2000.
It is one of those movies that every generation can watch, relate in some way and laugh, which is its true calling. From two "white guys in black suits who look like diamond merchants" (aretha franklin) to a Winnie full of country western singers being followed by two station-wagons full of Illinois Nazi's, you cant make that shit up.
As we all may or may not know, the soundtrack for this movie is awesome as well. If you don't know any of them, then your dead and missing out on life in general and I'm not going to sit here and....Sorry I get movie emotional.
All should see this movie and all will enjoy...More can be said but I don't like to ramble on (yeah right). I'm going back to the movie, yo somebody make me some popcorn!

Insomnia

2006-01-30T12:47:00.000-05:00

I Need Sleep!!!
Let me tell you that the worst thing in the world is INSOMNIA! There is nothing worse in my opinion, its even twice as bad that I have no job and I cant sleep. So I goto interviews feeling like hell, stay at buddies houses(unless its date night, then I'm not allowed over) playing Grand Theft Auto or drinking at bars way too late because I know that when I get home the torture begins. I think I'm going back to my old method of drinking whiskey until I fall down. At least then I can grab a couple of "Z's" without going nuts and ending up on my own Freak post. Being awake when no one else was use to be a major part of my job. We would work 12 hour shifts from 7pm to 7am and then I would goto another job until it was time to go back to the first job. You don't miss sleep when your busy, its when you have no job or activity to fill that void that you really notice. People be glad that I no longer have access to an armory of weapons or else by now I would be on a large tower in the middle of Morristown waiting for last call at the bars. I feel like that guy who has been hickuping for 30 years and all he can say is "kill me!" in between.
The only good part of insomnia is the fact that the book I am writing is getting done really fast. There is no better motivation then the need to stay active just because your awake. I have to get a hobby.
