Opening Day Is Coming

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY! is opening day and if you’re like me you’ll be there cheering on Los Cerveceros against the Cololamedo Rockies. It’s a great time to get your fill of brats, dogs, stadium sauce, pork, taco dip, chips and beer. The weather sounds like it’s going to be perfect this year, so don’t miss it. But in case you didn’t get tickets. I’ve compiled a list of other activities with which to fill your opening day.

22 Things to do If You Didn’t Get Opening Day Tickets:

  • Come to the parking lot and drink beer. Maybe play that weird bean bag tossing game.
  • Lars-style it: Sit on your stoop with a radio and a 12er of Old Style.
  • Work.
  • Grab a baseball bat and have your own opening day in Riverwest.
  • Sit around with your frat brothers and have your own sausage races.
  • Keep reminding your friends how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds remain until the World Cup Begins.
  • Blame Obama
  • Carry on with your life, oblivious to the local sports team, only acknowledging it to discuss how it causes an unhealthy obsession in a class of people obviously lower than yourself.
  • Grab an early dinner at Applebees. Then maybe swing by Barnes & Noble for that new Rachel Ray Cookbook. Her recipe for take-out hamburgers is amazing: Buy three hamburgers, combine them all into one and look at that, you’ve got a triple burger for the biggest of appetites. And you didn’t even mess up your kitchen.
  • Drugs (and wear sunglasses).
  • Sleep with the wife of a man who is going to opening day. HOMERUN!
  • Do the Humpty Hump.
  • Fight the good fight and get some anti-fungal cream.
  • Check in on 4-Square: “I’m not at opening day! http://4sq.com/tellmewhenthisgetannoying
  • Get Mtv Off the Air
  • Get down with that Joanna Newsom triple disc. I have to suggest doing this one Lars-style, with the 12er of Old Style on the front stoop, as well.
  • Just keep on, keepin’ on.
  • American Pie #8: Semester at See-Through-Panties is finally out on DVD. Catch the commentary with Eugene Levy, Michelle Trachtenberg, Frankie Muniz and Haley Joel Osmet.
  • Wonder aloud whenTF Rumorator.com went to blow.
  • Come up with a noble excuse such as: you donated your tickets to a blind child who only longs to hear the crack of a Prince Fielder homerun, or I’ve spent the last six month in a meth haze, can you really expect me to order tickets?
  • Listen to the “Music for Losers” station on Pandora.
  • Opt to go see a Madison Mallards game because that’s where core baseball happens.

Keep America Beautiful

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I don’t know how the country got this fucked up, but it’s happened.

Maybe it’s all just backlash to the super sexxxifying of the 1990s, or maybe we’ve just run out of attractive people who aren’t models, but we are uglier now America. We could blame Zack Galafianakis or indie rock, but somehow this country has let itself go.

Granted, models are still models and look good. Even when they don’t, we’ve got photochopping superstars to make them look fucking amazing. Case in point:

Now that’s some hot shit. But of course she does, she’s a model. IRL you don’t see anyone that looks like that. Since this is the digital age and everyone is famous online, we get people posting shit up all  over the place thinking what they do is acceptable.  Item #2:

Pearl and the Beard – Will Smith Medley from Goddamn Cobras Collective on Vimeo.

there is nothing good going on with this video. The clothing is unforgivable and you with the cello, your crappy hairstyle is is all wrong for your mug. You are not people I want to see. This music is not music i want to hear. And just because you cover it in a different style doesn’t make it acceptable. That shit was tired as soon as H. Sapiens jacked H. Neaderthalensis‘ backbeat. But most importantly, you are not attractive, do not assume people want to look at you. Write your own music, find your own style.

This is a fact. It’s the reason Barry O was elected and McCain was sent home. Shit the only reason McCain had a chance is because of the Sara (proper WASP spelling) Palin and her eerie likeness to that lady who worked at the gas station that you would have totally tried to have tigersex with, given the opportunity, even though she had no clue how to count cash and ate the left-over corndogs off the rollers after 10pm.

This is the reason I stay behind the curtain. I’m old, fat, and have a huge head. You will not catch me in public without a full-face mask. Not so for Pearl and the Beard in the above video. They’ve actually decided to expose more of their retched flesh. Judging by their location they probably take style advice from American Apparel.

America I want you to remember, If you’re ugly the last things you need are leggings and jumper. Gents, if you are slobbish and women run from you, do not grow a neck beard.

Now i’m not saying we all need to hide in basements, but to all of us who are not beautiful: Please try to stay out of the public eye. Let’s America great again.

Judge for yourself.

 

 Still better than Riverwest, but Riverwest is more scary than sad.
