Why is watching sports so much work? Am I the only one who thinks that the televising of sports makes it so much worse - long and drawn out, terrible color commentary - Madden - u mk me nuts), awful commercials, even the Superbowl ads were bad last year.
MLB: Nat'l league. American league. 9 innings. 162 games in a season. Best of 7 to win the series
NFL: AFC. NFC. 17 weeks of games each of which could run from 1hr45m to 3 hours. 16 games and then playoffs and then the big one.
Hockey: I'm tired just thinking of how many games and quarters then semi-finals until you see that beautiful shiny Cup lofted over the heads of the victors.
I really like sports. I do. Playing them and sometimes watching them but I think the Olympics with the endless heats, semisemisemi finals, etc left me a bit cynical about sports and the televising of sports. I am tired just thinking about writing the rest of my post on sports...so i'll just cut to the summary and (u can thank me for not going into NASCAR - don't post yer bs hate comments about the sport...love it or hate it, it's huge and it's here to stay as mucho marketing bucks have been sunk into it. European football - ditto.)
It's easier to play a sport than to be a sports fan.
Especially if you're a New England sports fan. Comments? Amy - can you get Eric to weigh in?
ok...this week's eye candy..... I can't find the Top Gear - Tokyo sliders piece I wanted so this will have to do. It's great on so many levels. It speaks to me on so many levels. These guys have mad skills but then I think...what a waste of natural resources and then I think...these guys are hilarious. My Dad raced cars. He intensely dislikes these guys and guys like them, with that bg, I have a deep respect for cars, what they can do, drivers and what they can do. But back to being entertained and cynical.....Can you imagine what they spend on tires? What's even more amazing... these guys all have HUGE sponsors. It's like "Wacky NASCAR" or NASCAR w/o laps.
seacrest out
no wait....some real eye candy...
Have you SEEN this?? Of course not....but you should. The Lamborghini-Reventon. sigh. said to be inspired by the F-22 Raptor. Daytime running lights....7 LEDs per side. That's a crazy amount of illumination, but you'll need it as you're doing breakneck speeds on the way to your villa. Oh, and Kevin will like this...it has a G-Force Meter. Damn.
Sarah Palin is a redneck. And this is a lame postscript cuz writing an inflammatory statement that you don't have any feeling about one way or the other (she might not be a redneck, frankly, yaaaaaaawn. who cares. she's as interesting as the wart on my dog's tush.) is like shooting fish in a barrel. c'mere little fishy.....

the part where the guy's standing in the middle and everyone's circling around him...then he jumps into a car.
how do the tires just not melt away?
they do but tire sponsors foot the bill cuz they want to say "my tires can take this abuse"
LOL
Kathy, that video completely cracked me up, especially when the motorcycles start jumping over the cars! It looks like a Michael Bay movie gone even more horribly wrong than usual.
I'm not impressed with their driving, as that is how I normally drive anyway...Joe knows I'm not kidding...
As for my gal Sarah, you need to layoff her!! Why? Here you go:
1. Her brother Michael is freaking hilarious.
2. She's my gal.
3. Do you really understand the sacrifices she's made making sure vampires don't invade the rest of the nation? As you know, in northern Alaska during the winter the sun does not rise for 67 days.
Vampires obviously love that and were attacking towns. With the help of Josh Hartnett, Sarah was able to turn back the vampires.
So give her a break huh?
(disclaimer: #3 may or may not be partly lifted from the plot of 30 Days of Night...)
Also, I just noticed that the sequence with the wacky stunt/clown guy hanging out of the car mirrors exactly a drunken incident that happened to Joe and I during one of the infamous Lost Weekends....
Can't the Japanese come up with anything original???
OMG....Joe O... ya kill me. I totally had the same Michael Bay thought when I saw those cyclists. HILL-AIR-EE-US!
Sarah Palin is also hilarious. She's really lightened up the mood around this election. So I applaud her on that front. Unintentional comedy factor = Off the scale.
Lastly = 30 Days of Night - Wanted to see it...didn't. Did u? How was it?
Hey Kath,
30 Days was actually a pretty decent movie. Very dark, gritty, and grim, good acting. Very gory, with an interesting take on vampires. Great for a watch (for Halloween!), but the plot isn't unique enough for repeat viewings.
