Lanny, you ARE the father!!!! (and other cool stuff)

It has come to our attention today that the ongoing paternity test to discover the identity of Youppi has indeed yielded a positive test result. It is, in fact, none other than best selling author and all-time hockey great Lanny McDonald. Mr.McDonald declined comment. Youppi was the Montreal Expos mascot from 1979-2004 when the team moved to DC to become the "Natinals". He was also the first mascot ever ejected from a game, at the insistence of Tommy Lasorda, the portly L.A. Dodger manager. Personally, I am not a big mascot fan and think most are stupid like the Stanford "Tree". In fact the only ones that are pretty cool, besides Youppi, are the San Diego Chicken, Bernie Brewer, The Racing Sausages and Albert. An honorable mention goes to the Mariner Moose, just for this. (FF to the 1:11 mark)

And now, THE RANDOMNESS:

Here are some Damn Cool Pics from the set of Star Wars. I especially like Chewbacca's Owen Mills family portrait.

The World Cup is coming to a close with Germany versus Uruguay for the 3rd spot and Spain and Netherlands meeting for the Cup. Who will win? Only the Nostradamus of picking soccer knows.

So, who all hates LeBron now? The cities New York, Cleveland, Chicago and the state of New Jersey. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has some strong opinions, but interestingly enough so does Mo Williams. Oh, count me in for the "LeBum HateFest 2010" too. Not because I care about the NBA, but because he held us all hostage for his "Decision" special on ESPN. It's all every single news outlet, not to mention the sports, could talk about for hours on end. I was reduced to watching the Rangers vs Baltimore snooze fest to escape.

"PREDATORS" opened this weekend. In homage to the original classic, here are the 20 best lines from "Predator".

20) "You're a ugly motherfucker."

19) "You lose it here, you're in a world of hurt."

18) What's this fucking tie business?""

17) "I'm gonna' cut your name right into him."

16) "We. Hit. Nothing."

15) "That's a bullshit psyche job. There's two or three men out there at the most. Fuckin' lizard."
14) "Son of a bitch is dug in like a Alabama tick.""

13) "We're all gonna' die."

12) "Come on! Do it! Do it! Come on. Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Come on! Do it now! Kill me!"

11) "This shit makes Cambodia look like Kansas."

10) "If it bleeds, we can kill it."

9) "Jesus, you killed a pig… Think you coulda' found something bigger?"

8) "You got time to duck?"

7) "I ain't got time to bleed."

6) "You're ghostin' us, motherfucker.""

5) "Maybe you better put her on a leash, agent-man."

4) "Come on in, you fuckers. Old Painless is waitin'."

3) "Buncha' slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.""

2) "Billy! The other day I went to my girlfriend… I said, 'You know I'd like a little pussy.' She said, 'Me too, mine's as big as a house!'"

1) "Get to da' chaaaaaappaaaaaahhhhh!""

The Awesome, The Stupid and The Rupee

THE AWESOME

In anticipation of the upcoming TRON event, I've decided I want a
Light cycle for my birthday. I know what you're thinking. "OH HELLZ YES!!!! I WOULD BUY YOU ONE OF THOSE M-Fers IN LIKE 2 SECONDS IF I ONLY KNOW WHERE TO FIND ONE." Well, let me save you some time, dear friends. It just so happens I know where to get a
fully functional and street legal light cycle all for the low, low price of $35,000.
Are you kidding me?
If you get me this, consider us BFFs till the day you or I die, then in heaven (unless you go to Hell) too. Also, to this magnanimous person, I will let you ride it once as a show of my appreciation AND give you a personalized, signed glossy 8"x10" of me flexing or something for your enjoyment. Mom? Dad? Remember that Christmas where the only thing I wanted was a real, live 1977 Pontiac "Firebird" Special Edition Trans-AM just like the one from "The Smokey and the Bandit" that I didn't get that year? Remember the disappointment? Remember when I wanted the
Ferrari 308 GTS from Magnum, PI for my birthday that year? Remember you said "maybe"? Remember how I didn't get it, and you said it was because I made all Cs and Ds on my report card? Well, now you can make it up to me, and we can finally let bygones be bygones. What do you say?

THE STUPID

Okay, so the latest instalment of Twilight hit the theatres over the last week, and I still can't figure out what's the deal...
I understand the the whole "Vampire" thing is hot right now. You've got this, that show True Blood, Larry King Alive!!!, etc. etc... However, the thing is, about as much as I can figure it, this is a story about a teenage girl in heat torn between a vampire or a werewolf. Nobody gets naked or scores and they just mope around in the woods (in the daytime, I might add) talking about how they "crossed oceans of time lookin' for you" and stuff. What is the deal? And if they are like over a hundred years old and she is 17, isn't that some pederast shit? That's what teen aged girls are into? 109 year old high school students? However, it isn't just the teenybopper girls and "metro sexual menz" that are all into it. Check out this report by Yahoo about middle aged housewives who are all obsessed and addicted to this horseshit. Apparently, it is ripping households apart at the seems at an alarming rate. AND it is not just the women getting off on this stuff. Apparently there are dudes too!
Personally, if my wife became fanatical about something as stupid as this and it threatened my marriage, I would actually RUN to the divorce hearing. Forget this silly movie crap, okay? Listen bitches, the only vampire you need is Count Chocula...

THE RUPEE

India is seeking to come up with an international symbol on par with the Dollar, the Pound and The Euro for it's currency, the Rupee.(not to be confused with Rupees)
This is an ambitious project for a currency that is currently worth nothing. High hopes?
There are several new designs and I am personally pulling for #1, because it looks like the "Staff of Ra" from Raiders of the Lost Ark...
