The Perfect Storm

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — FloridaBill @ 1:24 pm

With Alabama sending 6 All Americans into the BCS Title game against Texas, it is looking like the perfect storm after winning the SEC Championship and getting a Heisman Trophy winner (Mark Ingram); Texas may be in trouble.

Week/Year/Decade in Review

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — FloridaBill @ 2:05 pm

File under Week 49 of 2009.

Time magazine has called it the Decade from Hell and The Worst Decade Ever. It sucked so bad we don’t even have a name for it (like the 80’s or 90’s, I am calling it the “oughts” as in we ought to have skipped it.). Here are some highlights and low lights of the first decade of the 21st Century:

The Lows:

The Y2K problem that never materialized. It didn’t even cause so much as a whimper. Lot’s of panic over nothing started the decade off all wrong.

Nine Eleven. Nuff said.

Wars in Afganistan and Iraq that continue into the next decade. We shut down Saddam Hussein and even saw him hanged, but we will have not got Bin Laden and may never catch the bastard.

The Weather/Natural Disasters:
Tsumanis
Hurricanes

Financial Meltdowns
AIG
Lehman Brothers
Madoff
The Automobile Industry (I think I am gonna miss Chrysler and Mopar)

Susan Boyle. OMG, so she can sing, I don’t want to see any more of her at all.

Rod Blogyoyovich, the impeached and deflated former governor of Illinois.

The Highs:

Harry Potter, while the first book was released in 1997, I think it is safe to say that the last decade has been owned by Mr. Potter.

Dan Brown, even though he also released a book in the previous decade, he wasn’t a house hold name until the oughts when he released The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deceptions Point and The Lost Symbol.

Survivor had a good decade along with Jon Stewart, Colbert and American Idol. I wasn’t sure whether to put Idol as a hi or a lo, but when I think about the talent they have generated (Jennifer Hudson, Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, etc.) it is hard to ignore the success.

The Lord of the Rings. Three films dominated the early decade and were directed by Peter Jackson. James Cameron had a good decade too and his new film Avatar is out next week.

Alabama returns to National dominance in Football. Yep. Roll Tide my friends. They might even have a Heisman winner for the first time in history. We find out tomorrow. This dominance could last a while now that we will see Saban recruited players. They play Texas for the National Title on January 7.

How about 2009 overall? What kind of rating would you give it? My family experienced some personal highs and lows including my mom’s courageous and successful battle against cancer and a family reunion in July that just could not have been better unless a whole bunch of folks had miraculously showed up from the grave. That might have made it more creepy too now that I think about it.

It is Mr. Obama’s first year in office and his ratings are very low (lower than the last three Presidents at this stage in their Presidencies) and Tiger Woods has dominated the end of the year news and tarnished a strong reputation since he can’t seem to keep little tiger caged in his pants.

Here is my list of Fucktards this week:

David Headley
Francisco Moran
Tita Nyambi

What will the next decade bring? Here are some predictions.

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends, holidays and future decades to all.

Sugar Bowl drinking Game

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — DaneBramage @ 2:48 am

Rules of the Game:

* Drink every time Tebow is called “a warrior.” Bonus chug if any of your friends sing the first two lines of Scandal’s opus “I am a warrior” and change the lyrics to “Tebow is A Warrior” Dance, Tebow, you magnificent male specimen, you…

* Drink every time Tebow’s called “a leader,” then salute.

* Drink every time Tebow’s called a “special athlete,” then yell “Tiiiimmmmmmmmay!”

* Finish your drink if the announcers suggest Tebow should have won the Heisman again this year.

* Drink every time Tebow points to the sky — then, you must realize the only reason the sky hasn’t fallen is the strength of his pointing.

* Drink every time he’s shown on the sidelines flapping his arms like a bird to pump up the crowd.

* If (WHEN) Tebow actually takes flight, finish your drink and do a shot.

* Drink every time Tebow’s on camera for no reason when the Florida defense is on the field.

* Drink every time Tebow is seen screaming with his helmet off.

* Drink every time they show a “I Heart Tebow” sign in the stands.

* Drink every time you see a Florida fan in jorts. (Small sips on this one, otherwise it could kill you).

* Knock back a shot every time the announcers mention his experience as missionary/surgeon.

**If Tebow gives a tearful speech in the post-game press conference, give the television the bird, turn up your bottle of Jim Beam, and don’t stop drinking OR flipping off the TV till Tebow runs out of tears. (This may take several bottles of Jim). Then throw the empty bottle(s) through the television and quote the good book .

(Disclaimer: Playing the Tebow drinking game may result in death. So don’t do it. Ever. Not even in jest. If you’re dumb enough to do it, just pray Tebow is nearby – only he can save you.)

Week in Review

CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 9:13 am

File under Week 48 of 2009.

So, did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? It was quiet and pleasant at our house with just the right foods and deserts in just the right amounts. I am now on my post-turkey day diet, even thought I didn’t gain any weight, I feel like I did. That means I try not to feed my face all day long with junk. I failed miserably on Monday and Tuesday, did a little better on Wednesday and yesterday we had an office outing with lots of free food. I didn’t do so well then, but we get back on that horse when we fall off. I am now back in the saddle.

So, how about those Saints on MNF eh? Hey Pats, where yat? I have said all year that Drew Brees is the real deal. Does anyone doubt that now?

I wonder if these folks are real or not:

Party Crashers

I am pretty sure that Maurice Clemmons wanted to die this week. He shot four police officers in a coffee shop, then eluded law enforcement for a day or so before being gunned down in the street like the Fucktard he was. This matter is going to dog Mike Huckabee, much like Illinois Governor and well known dipshit Patrick Quinn will be haunted by this decision.

Seventeen year old Andrew Conley from near Indianapolis is clearly a deluded young man and a Fucktard for strangling his little brother because he related to the character “Dexter” from the Showtime TV series.

Apologies to any Domers out there, but I just gotta say that Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick is a Fucktard for firing Charlie Weiss. I was SO loving his coaching of the Irish. I especially loved the losses to Navy and Stanford. I hope they now join a conference and continue to get their asses kicked. They are not the national powerhouse they once were.

Tiger Woods is a Fucktard this week. As noted in this article, dude, you really need to come clean and let us all know what really happened. I have my theories. Apologies be damned. Here is a guy that is worth billions (literally) with a crystal clear image who then shits all over it. Let’s not forget the women who have some fault here too. Didn’t they know who he was? That he was married? Tiger has some ‘splaining to do as does Anthony Michael Hall. Although it does not look like AMH is hooking up with this:

I found this news about local Chicago radio personality Johnny B to be sad. I will miss him in the mornings on The Loop.

Alabama and Florida meet tomorrow for the real National Championship. Roll Tide. I bet you all can figure out why I love the pic in that story so much. I lifted it and placed it lovingly here:

BTW, I did not appreciate the predictions in this link.

Since we are fully within the Holiday season, here is a copy of a pic I got on my e-mail that shows Tiger & Elin Woods Christmas photo this year:

Click in next week for the final (maybe) WIR of the year/decade. If you have the time and inclination, you can click on the Week in Review tab on the left side of the screen and review the year/decade for yourself.

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

From my e-mail

CATAGORIES: HUMOR — FloridaBill @ 8:56 am

The Fix

There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg Fl. Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: “How Would You Fix the Economy?” I think this guy nailed it!
_____

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America’s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes…

Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!
