The Weekly Grind 12-9

First off, great stuff from all the bloggers on this site minus Kevin because he is a douchebag.

I am going to start this session of the "Grind" with a quote from last Saturday night's debacle of a drinking/bowling night. I was pretty trashed after a few cocktails and was walking home with Nicole firing off top ten lists regarding random things....here was my favorite one.
EA (in a drunken slur) - "hey baby...here are top three reasons why I love you!"
Nicole (tolerantly) - "Here we go..........."
EA (still drunk) - "Number one...because you are awesome! Numbers B, because the way you make me smile..........and lastofly, the number three reason why you are awesome, because I love you!"
Nicole (soberly) - "That's great hun. Please stop making snow angels, theres no snow on the ground."

Back to the Grind...as Mr. Anonymous pointed out, my Lock of the Week (and stud of the week) were brutal picks as the Ravens barely beat the Texans and Jamal ran for like 18 yards on 15 carries. He did fumble once, proving once again how bad of a judge of talent I am. This week I am going with the Panthers (-6.5) simply because the Bucs are pure garbage.

On to the questions, of which there was a great response.

Have you ever walked so fastthat your shlong comes out of your boxers? My example - It was sub-10 degrees in the Windy City and my left / right / left walk to the train became a trot. It's an impressive involuntary phenomenon, like breathing. Miller, Chicago

EA - Fantastic use of the word shlong Miller. I like the questioin because it is a problem that many of us have and its rarley talked about. Personally, since my "shlong" is very small, the chances of it coming out of its figurative shell during sub-freezing temperatures is minimal at best. It does happen though followed of course by the immediate thought of "holy shit is my fly open right now, and am I flapping in the wind!?!?" and the quick check down to ensure closure of the pants.

What is the penalty for a stupid question?-Paul Fayetteville, NY

EA - A stupid answer.

Is this the best site on the Internet? http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mike_Tyson Please comment. - Chris, DeWitt

EA - Tyson is great. This is my favorite one and pretty much all I need to comment on the insanity of Tyson.
On His Childhood
"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died. I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard."

My dear lord that is hilarious.

Final thoughts
Thats all the questions in my proverbial box if you will. I have some "Random Thoughts" and since that is the aptly titled name of the blog, here they are.

• -"War of the Worlds" is a crappy movie where Tom Cruise runs around for a couple hours and nothing really happens. Not even Morgan Freeman narrating could make me like this garbage.
• UNC beat Kentucky @ Kentucky...not even the '04 national champion Heels accomplished that feat. Promising start to the year and it vaulted them into the top 25 rankings. Can't wait for Duke to get destroyed by Texas tomorrow. EA's prediction Texas 83, Duke 61
• A lot of people complaining about the lack of S_K_Y posts and we are currrently looking at another blogger joining the team. Michael Kuroptwinski or Kurps as we like to call him, may be starting a weekly column tentatively dubbed "Koach Kurps Korner"...like I said its tentative. Should be as good or better than S_K_Y's bi-montly posts about Jesus and Mike Tyson's Punchout.

Thats it from me....Festivus is going to be sweet tomorrow, three of us should be able to adequately create at least one post breaking down the highlights of the night. Look for it next week. Thanks again for the questions, keep em coming. ea20@yahoo.com
