"He's going to vote for the lions." Quit acting like you know me. YOU DON'T KNOW ME!! I'm voting for Polar Bears. You ever seen a Mama Polar Bear with a cute little bear cub? It's sooooo cute! How can you vote against that? And not to lose all of my manhood on my blog, Polar bears are still big and strong and in the wrong situation will make you shit you pants upon sight.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pandas vs Hippos:</span> Pandas you sure are cute but Hippos sure do rock the spot! HIPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey" title="Monkey" rel="wikipedia">Monkeys</a> vs Seals:</span> Come on let's face it Monkeys smell bad. I know I don't smell like a rose most days but I sure as hell don't smell like a monkey. Seals spend a lot of time in the water so they can't smell bad. Plus seals do stuff like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qSUWeI4wa0">this</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zebras vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=552677" title="ITIS Taxonomy ID 552677" rel="itis">Koalas</a>:</span> Wow this is a tough one. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzGiuO2-c5g">Mitch Hedberg said all that needs to be said about Koalas.</a> But zebras are making some important social commentary on the way we need to live in America. Those zebras know what's up. I'm voting <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra" title="Zebra" rel="wikipedia">Zebra</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Penguins vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=9592" title="Gorilla" rel="ncbi">Gorillas</a>:</span> A gorilla will fuck you up and then sit down scratch itself and chew on a stick like nothing happened. The look on its face is like it didn't even remember something happened. "OH MY GOD!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ROGER?!" ... "Who?" Yeah fuck that. I'm voting for Penguins.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tigers vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llama" title="Llama" rel="wikipedia">Llamas</a>:</span> Llamas do something that I find really endearing. If you shave the hair off a llama's chest they become embarrassed and will go hide until they feel comfortable with being seen again. That makes me go awwww. I want to vote for the llamas but the guy in me is warning me that I've already voted against the lions so I better vote for the big cat. Tigers get the vote.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrX9NBMUOzw" title="Two Giraffe Calves born at the San Francisco Zoo" rel="youtube">Giraffes</a> vs Kangaroos:</span> Giraffes are tall. I'm tall. I'm voting Giraffes. One thing I don't get about nature. Why would nature make it so hard for the giraffe to drink water. That's mean of you nature.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Elephants vs Otters:</span> Elephants. I love them. They are nature's tanks. And if you ever watch a documentary on elephants you will see that they are very caring animals. I love that. They have trunks that can be used as a trumpet. Elephants are great but otters are so much fun to watch swim around!. Elephants you have to watch for months on end and then all of a sudden you have a eureka moment. That's not quite feasible for zoo watching. Otters are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUk3T2Kfno">instant gratification</a>. My vote goes to the otters.<br /><br />See you tomorrow!<br />Rogie Dodgie<br /> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=867728d6-5222-42a3-8f83-585594c69578" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-55330809908946490862010-11-29T14:34:00.001-05:002010-11-29T14:37:42.087-05:00Zoo Animals - Round 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSMg4aspbj8-HdUjcRPSD_5gSssq4qzxjBZf_l36I8dFesg2TM5kgq2FkwT6OrNCJrLmvgoRL_-26X5-GMByAQMRb_f0VlUyQGeiHRaU0O1xS40E7Fvg1Vv7llixDSMDUNCJc8i65olA/s1600/Zoo+Animals.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSMg4aspbj8-HdUjcRPSD_5gSssq4qzxjBZf_l36I8dFesg2TM5kgq2FkwT6OrNCJrLmvgoRL_-26X5-GMByAQMRb_f0VlUyQGeiHRaU0O1xS40E7Fvg1Vv7llixDSMDUNCJc8i65olA/s400/Zoo+Animals.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545058074798965858" border="0" /></a>Commentary coming soonUnknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-42236522012455239152010-11-28T10:12:00.003-05:002010-11-28T10:16:32.591-05:00Beer - Round 5 (The Finals)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk-mZSE0Ty68HyyJ8fcMOvo6EOIhgkGEFrZRzJLR_roms_x5vArCMpxt9vmAbcg2fxB5oe9B2KDbqTYJIx3H5o0OfqOHACguI7yzbJqXL65zRKDCQwf4qMRhuVu2UGwNeZu4dhft04WwM/s1600/Beer.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk-mZSE0Ty68HyyJ8fcMOvo6EOIhgkGEFrZRzJLR_roms_x5vArCMpxt9vmAbcg2fxB5oe9B2KDbqTYJIx3H5o0OfqOHACguI7yzbJqXL65zRKDCQwf4qMRhuVu2UGwNeZu4dhft04WwM/s400/Beer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544619086883084114" border="0" /></a>So here we are at the finals and it's a final that I didn't really expect.

But we ill get Beer finished up and out the way on Sunday and move on to next week's tournament on Monday.<br /><br />Let's do it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yuengling vs Newcastle:</span> The battle of the #5s. Newcastle came out of nowhere to pull off a huge upset since it was tied with Guinness for two days. Someone went out and changed their vote. But Yuengling is my beer. That's where my vote is going.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sam Adams vs Pabst Blue Ribbon: </span>I'm going cheap on this one. My vote goes to Pabst Blue Ribbon. I like Sam Adams on draft but not in a bottle and Pabst Blue Ribbon never seems to let me down.

You vote for it? I was all excited when I realized that someone from Blue Moon was actually checking out the beer tournament then I realized I was kinda hard on old Blue Moon. Luckily, the folks from Blue Moon are good sports and came back to check on how their baby was doing. It even pulled out a win when things were looking bleak earlier in the day. Can Blue Moon keep chuggin' to the next round? Let's see.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yuengling vs Lone Star:</span> Lone Star has been our Cinderella but alas, I do believe the clock just struck 12.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guinness vs New Castle:</span> I can't believe New Castle made it this far, but whatever. Now it's got to deal with the big daddy of dark beers. Brown Ale my ass. Stout is where it's at sucka!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miller High Life vs Pabst Blue Ribbon:</span> The champagne of beers vs the award winner. It a cheap beer knock down, drag out! My money is on PBR.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sam Adams vs Blue Moon:</span> I am confident that Blue Moon will easily win this round. Wanna know why? I serve beer every day. I serve Blue Moons every day. Sometimes I go weeks without serving a Sam Adams. Now I know it has a lot to do with where you are in the country. And I know Sam Adams fans are dedicated. But honestly Blue Moon is more fun. It's easier to drink. Men and ladies like it. I'm going with Blue Moon here.<br /><br />See you at the Final Four on Thanksgiving Day!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-4592109269871845382010-11-23T13:33:00.000-05:002010-11-23T13:34:45.575-05:00Blue Moon vs Fat TireSo because we got a visit from the good folks over at Blue Moon Brewing I changed my vote to Blue Moon.

Some really surprising upsets and some really good down to the wire races. Dogfish Head ended up losing to Blue Moon as I received a great phone call from my boss telling me that we just received a case of Dogfish Head's Miles Davis <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Bitches-Brew-Miles-Davis/dp/B00000J7SS%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00000J7SS" title="Bitches Brew" rel="amazon">Bitches Brew</a> and we began planning a tasting and listening party. I got home to see Dogfish Head losing and it nearly broke my heart. But let's look at how the round two matches will shape up.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Budweiser vs Lone Star:</span> The beer from Texas knocked out heavy weight Bud Light and now has to take on it's older brother. I'm going with Lone Star.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yuengling vs Amber Bock:</span> You're going down Amber Bock! You knocked out <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084973/" title="Amanda's" rel="imdb">Amanda's</a> favorite beer. I know Amanda won't be voting for Yuengling as much as she will be voting against you. Plus Amanda doesn't have anything against Yuengling. I've seen her drink it before but just know that Amanda and I are out to see you fail in this round you fake bock you!! (That really did just make me laugh.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guiness vs Stella Artois:</span> Guinness. You can't really go wrong with it. Plus have you seen the new commercial with <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Bettis" title="Jerome Bettis" rel="wikipedia">Jerome Bettis</a>? That commercial alone makes me want to drink a Guinness.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">New Castle vs Dos Equis:</span> Dos Equis is getting my vote. Nat Turner and I were sitting earlier today and discussing our favorite <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Interesting_Man_in_the_World" title="The Most Interesting Man in the World" rel="wikipedia">Most Interesting Man In The World</a> lines. Mine is "He lives vicariously though himself" and hers was "He can speak fluent French ... in Russian." However the commercial that made me laugh hardest was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKTDMEoC88">this</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miller High Life vs Schlitz:</span> The flavor of Schlitz is what I imagine a headache tastes like.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pabst Blue Ribbon vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.talesofcolt45.com" title="Colt 45 (malt liquor)" rel="homepage">Colt 45</a>:</span> I really want to vote for Colt 45 but truth be told I will be voting for PBR. I can only drink Colt 45 about once a year and I've had my one for this year. I drank one and I was hanging out with my friend Monica. We ended up driving to Amanda's bar that night (OH I JUST HIT YOU WITH A DOUBLE WHAMMY!!). I proceeded to get so drunk that I woke up confused about where I was and I was in my own bed alone. Only Colt 45 can make something like that happen.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sam Adams vs Bass:</span> I'm going with Bass. Do you know <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.bass.com/" title="Bass Brewery" rel="homepage">Bass beer</a> was the recipient of the worlds first trademark? Yep. The orange triangle is the worlds first trademark.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blue Moon vs Fat Tire:</span> I don't know what I am going to do here. I don't drink enough of either one of these to be able to make a clear decision. I'll get back to you all on this one.<br /><br />Peace and hair grease!<br /><br />Double R<br /> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=ce0ea051-0969-4a8b-a813-d0cf0939a5e9" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-13469477886506503652010-11-22T09:58:00.008-05:002010-11-22T12:20:50.771-05:00Beer - Round 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLS_dCPH1gNlx2ChdHHJUlFObZKkQxJ515Ks8H2DeMCC-5vqWGPdKzUnFj-2RMQPWtAB6hNlXSmVXeiJwtK9j7VIOwQBaacuzKNH8mFPczCVmGtVnt15j1RAoAirGNz83hCuWrvMpntYs/s1600/Beer.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLS_dCPH1gNlx2ChdHHJUlFObZKkQxJ515Ks8H2DeMCC-5vqWGPdKzUnFj-2RMQPWtAB6hNlXSmVXeiJwtK9j7VIOwQBaacuzKNH8mFPczCVmGtVnt15j1RAoAirGNz83hCuWrvMpntYs/s400/Beer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542389364963153170" border="0" /></a>So let's just pretend that I haven't been missing in action for half a year and finally get this <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer" title="Beer" rel="wikipedia">beer</a> tournament and the rest of Coffee Cake done and get on to The Extravaganza. What'cha think?<br /><br />So let's look at the match ups.<br /><br />In this tournament the #1s aren't given a pass to the second round. Oddly enough, I think the safest to move on is <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.millercoors.com/" title="Miller Brewing Company" rel="homepage">Miller High Life</a>. Up against Milwaukee's Best, it's hard to believe that High Life could lose but I know there are some cheap beer drinkers out there so there is a slim chance that <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/me4/geeze32/">The Beast</a> could pull an upset. Another good #1 match to watch is <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.bostonbeer.com/" title="Samuel Adams (beer)" rel="homepage">Sam Adams</a> vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.orval.be/an/FS_an.html" title="Orval" rel="homepage">Orval</a>. Sam Adams is the better known of the two but amongst the beer connoisseurs Orval is considered one of the best beers in the world. I agree. I've had one and I love it. Plus it comes in this <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://thefullpint.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/orval-glass-w1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thefullpint.com/beer-reviews/orval-trappist-ale&usg=__4mC6XYn44BsTxxcJNZ8s-3R7ODA=&h=600&w=476&sz=13&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=46U4F1Ol4QloHM:&tbnh=120&tbnw=95&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dorval%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1016%26bih%3D545%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=212&vpy=77&dur=121&hovh=252&hovw=200&tx=104&ty=107&ei=v4nqTObdFYH58AaYpsDKDA&oei=v4nqTObdFYH58AaYpsDKDA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0">pimp ass glass </a>when you order one. And it's brewed by monks. What more can you ask from a beer? Oh...it has a 6.2% alchol content. The average American beer is about 3.5%. My vote goes to Orval.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#2 vs #7</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blue Moon vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.dogfish.com/" title="Dogfish Head Brewery" rel="homepage">Dogfish Head</a>:</span> This is going to be the match to watch in the 2s vs 7s. I'm not a big fan of either though I've drank both. However, I am going with Dogfish Head in this match because I just recently found out that Dogfish Head made a beer called <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/brew-masters-miles-davis-beer.html">Miles Davis Bitches Brew</a> in honor of the 40th year anniversary of iconic Jazz album. Blue Moon...what can I really say about beer that you have to put fruit in to drink? Let's see, beer with an orange? Beer with Jazz? Hmm...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Corona vs Dos Equis:</span> I'ma stick with the aforementioned principle on this and go with Dos Equis. You ever tasted Corona without a lime? I'm always shocked when I see people drink it without the garnish. Plus, tell me you aren't in love with the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI58wj4b4g0">Most Interesting Man In The World commercials</a>. Stay thirsty my friends.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miller Lite vs Amber Bock:</span> Warning. This blog is NOT a drinking game!! But if it were, this is how it would go. Anytime I mention my friend Amanda, take a drink. And by that I mean, anytime you read Amanda's name. Any time I tell a story about Amanda and me drinking together or for that matter anytime I tell a story about me drinking with friends , drink a shot of whiskey or chug a beer. Anytime Amanda comments on a post, make someone else drink with you. Now that being said, I hate the taste of Miller Lite however, that's what Amanda drinks. You see, Amanda used to work for Miller so she has some sort of "they paid my bills" dedication to a beer that lies and says it Taste Great. While it may be true that it is less filling (but probably only because I usually refuse to drink it), WHO CARES! And I can't even figure out what the hell Amber Bock is supposed to be. It's not Amber in color and it doesn't taste like a bock. <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=xWjTZhw1MiUC&pg=PA153&lpg=PA153&dq=michelob+myth&source=bl&ots=w_YKArh74A&sig=G-nr6OrZLdJQTstyR1XdpAIeZKM&hl=en&ei=uZTqTLX8BYKdlgf-69SiCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false">Michelob, I know your history</a>! So don't keep trying to pull this crap on me damn it! I'm voting for AMANDA'S favorite beer and that should have been an easy vote for you to get from me cuz that shit is nasty!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#3s vs #6</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Budweiser vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://landsharklager.com/" title="Anheuser-Busch brands" rel="homepage">Michelob Ultra</a>:</span> Fuck Michelob.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Heineken vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.stella-artois.com/" title="Stella Artois" rel="homepage">Stella Artois</a>:</span> I'm going with Stella on this one. It's been years since I drank a Heineken but one thing I remember about them is that it always had a strange bitter taste to me. Stella on the other hand is nice and smooth. I understand it is the import version of Budweiser but really, sometimes drinking beer is like talking to your friends. The complex friends are interesting and fun but sometimes you just want light and easy conversation. That's when I go for the Stella.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shlitz vs Natural Light:</span> Do we really have to do this? Yes. Let me tell you a story about my friend Chris Busby. A couple of weeks ago Chris and I went to a concert. Before the show, I took him to one of Macon's nicest restaurants to try a new pecan beer they just got in. I bought the round. It was great. We leave there and head to the show and he repaid my kindness by buying a bucket of Natural Light. I had a terrible headache the next day. Now it could have been the shot of 151 and coke I was tricked into drinking but I am blaming the Natural Light. So I am voting for Shlitz.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">#4s vs #5s</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Coors Light vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.yuengling.com/" title="D. G. Yuengling & Son" rel="homepage">Yuengling</a>:</span> Coors commercials get on my nerves!! I mean damn the three big dummies talking to the NFL coaches was funny when you first did it. ... Sorta. But damn it's like 5 seasons later and you're still going with the same concept. Your other commercial is that a train comes out a brick wall and makes everyone cold. ... Now if that makes sense to any of the readers here, please stop reading my blog. Yuengling is just a good tasting beer from the nation's oldest brewery. I've never seen a commercial for it and I would still pick it before I pick the beer with the stupid commercials.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Red Stripe vs New Castle:</span> I used to be a huge Red Stripe fan but around the time they started those <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Stripe" title="Red Stripe" rel="wikipedia">Hooray Beer</a> commercials the beer started to taste different to me. I don't know if my tastes just changed from trying so many different types of beer or if it was actually the beer. I'm still voting for Red Stripe cuz New Castle reminds me of the taste I have in my mouth after I vomit. That doesn't bode well for a night of drinking.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Colt 45 vs Keystone Light:</span> Colt 45's slogan is "Works Every Time" and it's spokesperson is Billy Dee Williams. Keystone Light's slogan is "No Bitter Beer Face" and its spokesperson is the old man who can pull his bottom lip up over his nose. You figure out where my vote is going.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fat Tire vs Sweetwater:</span> Amanda.<br /><br />Well there's round 1. It's good to be back. I'll see you tomorrow.<br /><div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=b3f7d8b0-2fc0-400f-b262-311ab9c9f276" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-22753224027369818632010-05-28T07:36:00.003-04:002010-05-28T07:55:44.290-04:00Magazines - Round 5 (The Finals)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHY_C_luH-7fhywF-3NPA7lNT6P5OMspi-X6dAF4TSEK4yy8ofDR3LmcCaRevOGkbJQMueSOJcdEKqMYSyUtwBQJ9dzXw93fRpXnuFQ2GvpFYQj5a1-R_xtpboqowe4JgqTksOA6-0QM/s1600/Magazines.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHY_C_luH-7fhywF-3NPA7lNT6P5OMspi-X6dAF4TSEK4yy8ofDR3LmcCaRevOGkbJQMueSOJcdEKqMYSyUtwBQJ9dzXw93fRpXnuFQ2GvpFYQj5a1-R_xtpboqowe4JgqTksOA6-0QM/s400/Magazines.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476283805491762514" border="0" /></a><br />Well we have made it to the finals. Thanks to all of those you hung in there and voted on this first tournament since the little break I took. Let your friends know Coffee Cake is back and in full effect. Next week's tournament should be a lot of fun. We will be doing Beer. And the week after that should also be a hoot as we take on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Animals-Troubadour-Malcolm-Whyte/dp/0843119616%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0843119616" title="Zoo Animals (Troubadour)" rel="amazon">Zoo Animals</a>.<br /><br />But right now we are at the finals on Magazines. Let's take a look see.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">National Geographic vs The New Yorker:</span> I am going with The New Yorker on this one. Both of these magazines are absolutely top notch and the best of the best in bathroom reading. I think The New Yorker has the lock on the best articles while National Geographic has the best pictures. But the years of subscriptions to The New Yorker makes me lean that way. Plus I love those New Yorker comics..<br /><br />Ok folks!

Honestly if Playboy didn't have naked women in it, it would still be a very good magazine.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The New Yorker vs High Times:</span> This is the first time in the whole tournament that High Times didn't have to face off against a food magazine. I'm going with The New Yorker on this one. I love that magazine. It is such a good read every week. It hits on so many things that are important to me. Current events, art, music, politics, what's happening all over the world. I just dig it.

The knees are still a little weak. The stomach is a little queezy but we are hanging in there. Let's look at today's match ups.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bon Appetit vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Times" title="High Times" rel="wikipedia">High Times</a>: </span>I like that High Times has to take on two cooking <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine" title="Magazine" rel="wikipedia">magazines</a> in the first two rounds. It beat A <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_of_Home" title="Taste of Home" rel="wikipedia">Taste Of Home</a> to move on to the second round and it is giving Bon Appetit a run for its money today. I'm sure there have been recipes in High Times.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Better Homes and Gardens vs Complex:</span> I think the readers of Readymade are probably jumping on the Better Homes and Gardens bandwagon. I don't think the guys buyers guide stands a chance this round even though I voted for it.<br /><br /><p class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="margin: 1em; float: left; display: block; width: 244px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_Yorker_cover.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e4/New_Yorker_cover.jpg" alt="New Yorker cover" style="border: medium none; display: block;" height="354" width="234" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_Yorker_cover.jpg">Wikipedia</a></span></p><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The New Yorker vs WIRED:</span> I love The New Yorker. I feel smarter for reading it. I feel sophisticated when I laugh at the comics in it. I dream of strolling through the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.moma.org/" title="MoMA" rel="homepage">MoMA</a> after reading about a great exhibit there. I subscribe to it off an on. Right now I am without a subscription and I miss it. I've never read WIRED so I think you can figure where my vote is going to go.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Popular Science vs The Smithsonian: </span>There is a point in your life when you realize that you are no longer edgy or cool. I hit that point when I realized that the only radio station I listen to is <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.npr.org/" title="National Public Radio" rel="homepage">NPR</a> are my only magazine subscription currently is to The Smithsonian. Now don't get me wrong, The Smithsonian has some good reading in it. Really interesting stuff. But come on this is the Nova of magazines. I'm a nerd. My co-workers ask me to hang out on a Monday night and I tell them no cuz I have to get home and listen to <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/">RadioLab</a> on Georgia Public Broadcasting. I go and sit on the toilet and I grab a copy of The Smithsonian. Then I talk about it on my blog. How did life get this way?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rolling Stone vs Playboy:</span> These are two of America's greatest magazines. They both broke ground. Gave some of the greatest interviews ever printed. They changed society. But Playboy...ahhhh I remember the first Playboy I ever saw. It was the one with <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001846/" title="Vanna White" rel="imdb">Vanna White</a>. The second one I saw had <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ola_Ray" title="Ola Ray" rel="wikipedia">Ola Ray</a> as the centerfold. Ola Ray was the girl in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001391/" title="Michael Jackson" rel="imdb">Michael Jackson</a>'s Thriller vicdeo. She had the prettiest nipples I had ever seen. And at that time I hadn't seen many but I still remember those nipples. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only guy who can remember the first Playboy they've ever seen. The reason for this is most likely because, like me, their first viewing of a Playboy probably coincides with the first time they masturbated. Then depending on how you look at it, life is all downhill from there. You spend the rest of your life chasing women. Well, I'm voting for Playboy. Thanks for ruining my life. Please start putting more natural women in the magazine again so I can start subscribing again. Thanks.<br /><br />RR<br /> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/d1d15915-7872-44eb-b2e7-8f9735b955a3/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=d1d15915-7872-44eb-b2e7-8f9735b955a3" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-1494849010030581632010-05-24T10:25:00.011-04:002010-05-24T15:33:48.920-04:00Magazines - Round 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglWQyeL_JrPf8kx2l97QXLbZ7Ef0PpuWHpwjDB1tMAw5UQECxpFdo-kF724hYXPLFCawLQxiebTtK5d0kZxkoBSH309WOtYFOA_vr1j8ZSENL_mF18GnQPBc58vBtWHmq0YSSnypiwi-Q/s1600/Magazines.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglWQyeL_JrPf8kx2l97QXLbZ7Ef0PpuWHpwjDB1tMAw5UQECxpFdo-kF724hYXPLFCawLQxiebTtK5d0kZxkoBSH309WOtYFOA_vr1j8ZSENL_mF18GnQPBc58vBtWHmq0YSSnypiwi-Q/s400/Magazines.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474857867888029826" border="0" /></a>Well, it's finally here. I guess you all are wondering what happened. Well to be honest I got burned out. Those three big 64entrant tournaments back to back like that left me with Blog block. I just couldn't seem to get myself to get the next tournament together. Which was really ridiculous cuz it's not like I'm saying anything important on Coffee Cake. I'm spitting non-sense. But I couldn't come up with one lick of non-sense to spit. I kept looking at the Magazines tournament and thinking it was going to be boring. I couldn't come up with anything worth reading. Who cares about magazines. Then I was walking down the street the other day and I bump into Michael and Angel "this Girl" Collins and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.bigben.parliament.uk/" title="Big Ben" rel="homepage">Big Ben</a>. Big Ben said the key to the down time was the movies tournament. The first time we did a movies tournament Coffee Cake went down for months. This time we do the movies tournament and I take a month break. They all said, "Yeah. Don't ever do another Movies tournament." It made me laugh. The first time I had laughed about Coffee Cake since the movies tournament ended. I promised Big Ben that I would have it up right away and here it is.<br /><p class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block; width: 249px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/61943091@N00/3246487562"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3083/3246487562_d13ef71cba_m.jpg" alt="Let's go Jersey!" style="border: medium none; display: block;" height="240" width="239" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/61943091@N00/3246487562">JD'na</a> via Flickr</span></p><br />So let's do it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rolling Stone vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.urb.com/" title="URB (magazine)" rel="homepage">URB</a>: </span>I just recently saw a copy of Rolling Stone and it was normal magazine size. Blew my mind. This recession is even hurting our magazines. It's coll though. Rolling Stone hasn't had anything useful to say about music in the last 15 years. Ok I know that's not true but there is so much <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_culture" title="Popular culture" rel="wikipedia">pop culture</a>, bullshit that I started to disregard Rolling Stone as a magazine worth reading and I can't remember the last time I really got into one. Now URB, I used to read URB every month. It kept me up on what was happening in the world of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_hip_hop" title="Underground hip hop" rel="wikipedia">Underground Hip-Hop</a>, House, Electronica and just sub-culture music and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_jockey" title="Disc jockey" rel="wikipedia">DJs</a>. Just like Rolling Stone I've stopped reading it. It just wasn't as interesting and I don't have a good reason why. My vote goes with URB in the battle of the magazines I don't care about anymore.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Time vs Lowrider: </span>Lowrider. I don't think I've ever read a copy of Time. But I can sure tell you there are fly ass cars, bad ass bikes and hot Latin women in every issue of Lowrider. The only thing I remember about Time is that O.J. Simpson cover.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Better Homes and Gardens vs O:</span> What the fuck is O about? There is a picture of Oprah on every issue ever published. How much Oprah can one person stand? I mean just from the cover of the magazine I think that it's full of stories about Oprah. I know that can't possibly be. I know what's in Better Homes and Gardens. The name says it all. And I also know there are some bad ass recipes in there. And I love to eat. My vote goes with Better Homes and Gardens. But first back to O. I am stuck because I want just once for them to put something on the cover other than Oprah but at the same time, why break that record? What to do? What to do?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">National Geographic vs Mad:</span> Now a days I'm all about National Geographic. As a kid I didn't get it. It was the magazine of choice of the doctor's office so it already had a big fuckin' strike against it in my mind. If it was in the doctor's office, it was evil. It did have one thing going for it. Boobies. They weren't sexy boobies in the least bit but they were boobies none the less. I hadn't discovered Playboy yet. Now back then <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.dccomics.com/mad/" title="Mad (magazine)" rel="homepage">Mad magazine</a> made all types of sense. No it didn't. I didn't get Mad any more than I got National Geographic but it seemed like something I should like cuz it was a comic. Anyway, I'm voting for National Geographic.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cosmopolitan vs Paste:</span> I used to love Paste. I was a three year subscriber to that magazine. I even DJed a party for someone who works for Paste. But slowly but surely it seemed like Paste only began to talk about that damn light in the ass <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_rock" title="Indie rock" rel="wikipedia">indie-rock</a> crap that comes out of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.athensclarkecounty.com/" title="Athens, Georgia" rel="homepage">Athens, Georgia</a>. For Years Paste had introduced me to so much good music and movies and gave me interesting articles on some of my favorite artists and then they left me hanging. No I've never subscribed to Cosmopolitan but there are always sexy ladies in that magazine and they tell me stuff like "What a woman really wants". Cuz lord knows I don't have any of the stuff that a woman really wants. Good thing I'm smart enough to read a woman's magazine cuz they sure don't publish articles like that in Playboy and GQ. I think they are missing their intended audience. However, they get the vote for putting sexy women in the magazine.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Popular Science vs The Advocate:</span> To be honest, I don't even know anything about The Advocate.<br /><br />*Wait. I gotta go pay my phone bill and get some lunch. I promise I will look up The Advocate when I get back and talk some more about today's matches*<br /><br />Ok so I'm back home and I've just found out that The Advocate is <a href="http://www.advocate.com/">"The World's Leading Gay News Source"</a>. I am sure that The Advocate is a fine magazine and is full of all the news that's fit for print in the gay community but I am voting for Popular Science. Not because I'm not gay but because I had a subscription to Popular Science growing up because I wanted to be a scientist. I swear if I had wanted to grow up and be gay I would have asked for a subscription to The Advocate and my voting today would be different. But it didn't work out that way. At age 3 I saw Star Wars instead of Rocky Horror Picture Show.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bon Appetit vs Garden and Gun:</span> When you're working in your garden aren't you always thinking about guns? I'm voting for <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/">Garden and Gun</a> just based off the name alone. I've seen one issue of it and I have to admit it really is a cool magazine even if the title and the content is a bit strange sometimes.<br /><div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/27b33f81-054a-4f4b-bfd3-996ff57a97b9/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=27b33f81-054a-4f4b-bfd3-996ff57a97b9" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-73021792367545941482010-04-26T08:19:00.002-04:002010-04-26T08:21:14.730-04:00Coming up...Sorry this has been taking me so long to get the next tournament up.

I haven't been able to run my mouth about the matches like I usually do this tournament. So I am going to try to get a few things in here.<br /><p class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block; width: 310px;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chewbacca_%26_Jawa.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Chewbacca_%26_Jawa.jpg/300px-Chewbacca_%26_Jawa.jpg" alt="" dancing="" with="" the="" star="" wars="" style="border: medium none; display: block;" height="225" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chewbacca_%26_Jawa.jpg">Wikipedia</a></span></p><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Shawshank Redemption vs <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars" title="Star Wars" rel="wikipedia">Star Wars</a>:</span> Two #1s battling it out. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The story was just amazing. The acting was wonderful. You coudln't help but pull for Andy Dufresne. Then the movie rewarded you for pulling for him when you realized he had escaped. Then it got even better when you realized that everyone who screwed him over got screwed in the end. I loved it. But it ain't no Star Wars. I saw Star Wars when it was originally released in New York as part of a double feature. Grease was the other movie in the double feature. From that point on I was hooked. I was only 2 years old about to turn 3 in a month. Still remember it. That's how much of an impact it had on me. I decided at a young age that I wanted to be a scientist because my mom told me that's what I would have to be when I told her that I wanted to build the robots and spaceships in Star Wars. I went on to become a bartender but I did have a semi successful run as a computer programmer. My whole life has revolved around Star Wars. The fact that I do everything I contemplate doing comes from the fact that in The Empire Strikes back Yoda says, "There is no try. Just do or do not." And let me talk about the genius of two characters. Chewbacca and R2D2. Neither one of these muthafuckas could talk but you loved them! They made noises. Chewbacca howled and gunted. But you understood him. R2D2 even had a sense of humor and all he did was make beeps and whistles. That's good stuff right there. The feeling you get when you grow attached to the lovable asshole Han Solo then you think he's turned his back on the Rebellion only for him to come through in the end and clear the way for Luke so he can blow up the Death Star. And then there was one of the greatest villains ever created in Darth Vader. What was he? Is he a robot? Is he human? Why is he breathing like that? WHOA! He choked that guy without touching him.<br />So needless to say. I'm voting for Star Wars.<br /> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/8046c6b1-1103-4988-b195-82fae7306425/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=8046c6b1-1103-4988-b195-82fae7306425" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Godfather vs The Princess Bride</span>: I like the Godfather. It is a really good movie but you know what gets me everytime I watch it? The scene where they are having the big meeting and they are talking about how they want no parts of the drugs and they say something like leave the drugs to the niggers. "They're animals anyway so let them lose their souls." That one scene is why I am voting for the much happier and friendlier Princess Bride. Not to mention Andre the Giant is in that movie. I mean, if you grew up in the 80s you loved Andrew the Giant. I wish I could have met him. Seems like the type of person who would have really been nice to kids. Plus I love the idea of the gentle giant. I hope kids see me as a gentle giant cuz I get all nervous when I'm around little kids. They remind me of how big I am. I honestly worry that I may fall on a little kid when they are playing around with me. ... Anyway... Pirates. A giant. A bad ass sword fight. Billy Crystal. How can you beat this? You can't.<br /><br />And that's why the finals will be Star Wars vs The Princess Bride.<br /><br />You heard it here first.<br /><br />The Rog.<br /><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-16099724611251514462010-04-16T09:09:00.003-04:002010-04-16T09:14:21.325-04:00Movies - Round 4 (The Elite Eight)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gVawlQBJOBSb3I5dGP7LWTWZco4usOArfNShb6tsC7zmMTPNMn4YjJPYVFLirH4ahgMJi8Tga0ia2erGO0R1fYstdR8171cSFRv8jsPz3GbfHL2TFVhz_JHS-7NELwuUL0POAlz4N9g/s1600/MoviesRnd4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gVawlQBJOBSb3I5dGP7LWTWZco4usOArfNShb6tsC7zmMTPNMn4YjJPYVFLirH4ahgMJi8Tga0ia2erGO0R1fYstdR8171cSFRv8jsPz3GbfHL2TFVhz_JHS-7NELwuUL0POAlz4N9g/s400/MoviesRnd4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460722221921529522" border="0" /></a><br />Wow!

How are you today? Thanks for coming by Coffee Cake. That was nice of you. If you've got a few minutes, please, sit down and let me tell you what I think about today's matches.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Princess Bride vs Stand By Me:</span> In my mind this is a battle between <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000764/" title="André the Giant" rel="imdb">Andre the Giant</a> and Cherry Flavored Pez. I really like both of these movies but I have to admit I haven't seen Stand By Me since I was a kid. I own a copy of The Princess Bride. One of my favorite lines in the movie, and I never noticed it before until <a href="http://happyhourtrivia.blogspot.com/">Trivia Guy Will</a> pointed it out, is when the Dread Pirate Scott knocks out Andre the Giant and then tells him to dream of large women.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Wizard of Oz vs The Royal Tenenbaums:</span> I have to admit that I was never quite comfortable enough with The Wizard of Oz to be super into it like some people are. I mean yeah I think it would be cool to have a talking lion as a friend but I don't want to live in a world where trees throw apples at me and monkeys fly. If I had awaken in a world like that I don't think I would have handled it as well as Dorothy did. So I am going to vote for The Royal Tenenbaums. One of my favorite scenes from that movie is when Danny Glover falls in the hole at the excavation site while he is talking to Anjelica Houston. That happened to me once. It's another Jack induced story starring me and Amanda. We were walking up the driveway to a friend's house who was having a party and we had already hit the sauce pretty hard. So we're just walking and talking and I look back over at Amanda and she wasn't there anymore. I'm confused and I'm thinking, "What happened?" I look down and Amanda is laying in a pile of rocks off to the side of the driveway. It was so weird looking cuz she looked like a fish who was gasping it's last few breaths out of water. Just kinda laying there helpless. Trying to move but going nowhere. Needless to say she was bruised up for a week after that.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ghostbusters vs Back To The Future: </span>The battle of the 80s comedies. I'm going Back To The Future. Marty McFly drove a Delorean. Let me tell you, I still kinda have a thing for Hot Wheels. The other day I was in Kroger with my friend Jinger and we were standing at a box full of Hot Wheels for $1 each. I almost had a panic attack cuz she pulled out a Delorean. I thought she was going to buy it so I snatched it from her. Turns out she didn't want it anyway. She wanted the Lamborghini that was under it. I said all that to say this. If this tournament was about cars (which is coming up) though I'd like a Cadillac hearse, I'd be voting Delorean.<br /><div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/7c5b0ae8-388b-47ec-b226-9daca24910d2/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=7c5b0ae8-388b-47ec-b226-9daca24910d2" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-10384841567601614462010-04-14T12:53:00.003-04:002010-04-14T17:35:23.052-04:00Movies - Round 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoerC8MWDfrF4mmTzxSMvnlk4gKYAUrWvx6GvkCqlVnMik3CyEglBC4ELHuVI6fDAOwDQgPU4CA6bGhoXHuHWmDOAPEvDgnBXdL_Qyp76ntCb7PVJkgtdTKxvvhCouBigGNqEpShvmHo0/s1600/MoviesRnd2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoerC8MWDfrF4mmTzxSMvnlk4gKYAUrWvx6GvkCqlVnMik3CyEglBC4ELHuVI6fDAOwDQgPU4CA6bGhoXHuHWmDOAPEvDgnBXdL_Qyp76ntCb7PVJkgtdTKxvvhCouBigGNqEpShvmHo0/s400/MoviesRnd2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460038362143522226" border="0" /></a>Ok folks. Aren't there enough <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/" title="Bill Murray" rel="imdb">Bill Murray</a> movies in this tournament? Did you really have to vote for Groundhog Day over Amelie? I'm gonna go ahead and just say this right now and get this out the way. I DON'T LIKE BILL MURRAY.<br /><br />Yeah I said it.<br /><br />I think every character he plays is creepy. That has to say something about him. And if his movies weren't enough to make me dislike him, he pulled this shit where the Chicago Cubs asked him to throw out the first pitch and the muthafucka didn't show up to do it? What the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck" title="Fuck" rel="wikipedia">fuck</a> kinda shit is that? You know how excited I'd be if my favorite baseball team asked me to throw out the first pitch of the season? Hell, if one of our little minor league teams asked me to throw out the first pitch I'd be there 2 hours early. That might be the biggest day of my life up to that point. But one thing I can say is since Bill Murray didn't show up to throw out the first pitch, <a href="http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=372972&src=109">a couple of kids from a die hard Cubs family got to do it instead</a> and that was far cooler than some creepy actor doing it.<br /><br />I know I'm gonna catch flack from Chris Horne and Jonathan Bennett. So.<br /><br />Yeah...so after I was bragging on my Tigers we turned around and lost today to Kansas City. That's ok. We're 6 and 3. Still looking good at the beginning of the season. So let's look at today's matches.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shawshank Redemption vs Fargo:</span> This should be an easy win Shawshank has Morgan Freeman in it. He's a nice looking and well spoken man. Can't help but like him. You kinda wish he was your uncle or something. Fargo has Steve Buscemi, who is not so nice looking, and a woman with a funky accent. So Shawshank should win on the strength of Morgan Freeman alone. I'm pretty sure I heard Peter Griffin comment on Steve Buscemi once by saying his teeth look like they are all in competition against each other.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Breakfast At Tiffany's vs The Eternal Sunshine of the Spoless Mind:</span> I've never seen either one of these movies But I'm voting for Breakfast At Tiffany's because that title is easier to type. Keep it short and simple! Geez. It's all long and drawn out and hard to understand. Breakfast at Tifanny's answers all the important questions. "Honey what are we eating?" Breakfast. "Where?" At Tiffany's. That title could only get better if it was Breakfast At Tiffany's At 8am.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cool Hand Luke vs Clerks:</span> I've never seen Cool Hand Luke so I am going with Clerks. My favorite part of Clerks is the conversation they have about contractors building the Death Star in Star Wars.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Forrest Gump vs Groundhog Day:</span> Fuck Bill Murray. ... "That's all I have to say about that." (c) Forrest Gump<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Godfather vs The Exorcist:</span> The Godfather. I still try to tell them not to go to the toll booth every time I see that movie. NO! NO DON'T DO IT! OOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhh nooooooooo..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Blues Brothers vs American Psycho:</span> The Blues Brothers has one of my favorite lines in it. Donald "Duck" Dunn (who is the bass player for Booker T. and The MGs in real life) says, "He ain't lying. We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline." Love it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ghost Busters vs Beetlejuice:</span> This is probably one of the best match ups Coffee Cake has seen. I'm going with Ghost Busters. But really I see this being such a hard pick for so many people. These are two childhood favorites. I wonder how many people played with their Beetlejuice and Ghost Buster toys together. Did they ever bust Beetlejuice or was he too clever?<br /><br /><br /> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/6d0527d2-2aab-4df4-b071-e2637d3eae76/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=6d0527d2-2aab-4df4-b071-e2637d3eae76" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-56032184589957701012010-04-13T12:37:00.003-04:002010-04-13T12:41:43.717-04:00Movies - Round 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXMCL7rgjJsmQnIMBx5jwBT9YBskydwJpTWiZDUZQ3l4GvDC-0Ooa57JZnmro_eq-4x4tYEJE5Anr9vMkxaw5GalJ2gHrDvDpisoq8CSERi0wyaQ91_RxXeC4hXr1Zi2Wks-oQxfamSX8/s1600/MoviesRnd1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXMCL7rgjJsmQnIMBx5jwBT9YBskydwJpTWiZDUZQ3l4GvDC-0Ooa57JZnmro_eq-4x4tYEJE5Anr9vMkxaw5GalJ2gHrDvDpisoq8CSERi0wyaQ91_RxXeC4hXr1Zi2Wks-oQxfamSX8/s400/MoviesRnd1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459662688958359746" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-12901723433596917962010-04-12T03:48:00.006-04:002010-04-12T04:00:58.594-04:00And The Winner Is...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDyL5KELyLkePBYcuN3d28SV8A2QwvRbC9SLPuuLoNNz4nHnaT-DpiD0tLF-CpjSo9F0qCQPVrT4BuVmpv0fCDoKvYOWHT9v5yQ5gMo-7K41ncsOIo8RyygfkBA_AS-sZBn4BCh5nrHk/s1600/VideoGamesRnd6.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDyL5KELyLkePBYcuN3d28SV8A2QwvRbC9SLPuuLoNNz4nHnaT-DpiD0tLF-CpjSo9F0qCQPVrT4BuVmpv0fCDoKvYOWHT9v5yQ5gMo-7K41ncsOIo8RyygfkBA_AS-sZBn4BCh5nrHk/s400/VideoGamesRnd6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459155429029346642" border="0" /></a><br />Tetris pulls out the win and moves on to The Extravaganza. Tetris won its match by the lowest percentage that we've seen yet. With only 53% Tetris just assured that it will most likely be a #8 seed in The Extravaganza. And we are just about halfway to The Extravaganza. So there are roughly 16 more tournaments til we vote on the big one.<br /><br />Movies is on deck and coming up next (Like my use of baseball terms? Go Tigers!) . I may be a little late with the next tournament. I'm still working on it.<br /><br />So hold tight!<br />RogerUnknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-26535524649215342432010-04-09T22:30:00.007-04:002010-04-10T08:10:43.700-04:00Video Games - Round 6 (The Finals)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjntLRN-7QbD92vRTT67t_4sjLF2q1lIGND3YKo33ECWwtMlA2gYic_S1Myv4aDNdQD2sVR0cNXfMAc7rrA7o768Z9d7Hr9ucDOcMw_UuBak18rXuoToKJSYR4FZgqThORgHq_M7z2-zvM/s1600/VideoGamesRnd6.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjntLRN-7QbD92vRTT67t_4sjLF2q1lIGND3YKo33ECWwtMlA2gYic_S1Myv4aDNdQD2sVR0cNXfMAc7rrA7o768Z9d7Hr9ucDOcMw_UuBak18rXuoToKJSYR4FZgqThORgHq_M7z2-zvM/s400/VideoGamesRnd6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458331043618923426" border="0" /></a><br />So here we are at the finals. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Zelda vs Tetris.</span> I'm shocked that Tetris made it to the finals. I like Jonathan Bennett figured it would have gone down to Mario Bros and even Ms Pac-Man before that. But maybe those two matches are proof that Tetris has what it takes to win it all.<br />So we will take tomorrow off, then we will regroup back here on Monday for the start of the movies tournament. Another big 64 tournament. The following week will be Magazines and though I've had fun doing the big tournaments, I am looking forward to a small 32 tournament.<br /><br />So enjoy your weekend.<br />And now I leave you with this...<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RJKsQb5UUHE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RJKsQb5UUHE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Funky.<br />RogUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1
