The Weekly Grind 12.2
This weekly post has become such a Grind. But its worth it, with all the positive feedback we have been getting. Lots of comments, not too many questions from our readers but enough to make it work week to week. Also, we have developed a large following in the knife enthusiast community. Apparently, if you like collecting, trading, or discussing different knives, then you also enjoy this website.
Real quick, here is my Lock of the Week brought to you by Masterlock: Baltimore (-8) vs Houston. The Fantasy Stud of the week will be Jamal Lewis. Trust me. Its a lock. As an aside, I took Denver -2.5 last week as my LOTW...so my record is now 4-1.
We were off last week as it was Thanksgiving and the blog members were too "shit-faced" to type cognitive sentences. Though we did have the annual Allen - Arras Turkey Bowl which was broken down so eloquently by the three of us. Here is a quick recap of what happened on the playing field.
The Arras boys took it down by 2 touchdowns, covering the point spread. The game was under official protest after the Allens first series was cut short, leading to a "football swap" where a new pigskin was introduced, one with much better traction. the Arras' ensuing drive led to one of many tds by Dan "Steve" Arras "Smith". There was a second controversial td by the Arrases on their next possession leading to a file of "double secret protest". Ryan Walsh our cousin caught a TD pass only to fall to the ground where the ball appeared to slip out of his hands. Tom Allen declared the incomplete pass complete, ruling that the ground caused the fumble, which as we all know is an unchallengeable call. The rest of the game was dominated by the Arrases ability to exploit our biggest and not suprisingly, most out of shape, weakness, Eric Vandermallie. who for the life of him, couldnt figure out how to guard Al Arras, a man in his mid 50s who would be lapped by any type of amateur speed-walker but against EV had roughly 25 catches for 200 yards and the game ending td.
Everyone had fun, no one cried and we all got hammered afterwards. Another great Thanksgiving.
On to the Mailbag, where over two weeks we managed to get some great questions.
My friend and I were having a debate and im hoping you can help us...what looks better Zubaz pants or stonewashed jeans? - Stu - Miami
Wow, you guys are really cool. I hope you were drunk or on acid because that has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. After thinking about it for a while, I do see how you could take both sides of the argument. Personally, I think Zubaz pants, specifically the Raiders colors, have got to win out. What better way to support your team then by wearing striped sweatpants! Unless you qualify as "urban" or "hip-hopish", stone washed jeans really dont work.
What are you initial thoughts after watching the UNC Illinois rematch this week? - Shaud - Buffalo
"Holy crap, Tyler Hansbrough's white!" was one of them. But seriously, I am not sure if Illinois just isnt any good or UNC is actually pretty decent. Either way, it was an entertaining game where the more experienced team (which will never be UNC) pulled it off. The frosh are solid and with the #1 recruiting class next year, I think the Tar Heels will have at least one more title within this decade.
Are the creators of Prison Break kidding around when they say the show wont be on until March? What is this, amateur hour? - Nicole - Fairport
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet my girlfriend!! She sleeps next to the TV Guide with that main guy from Prison Break on the cover. And she has finally contributed something to the blog. Congrats babe, I am proud of you.
On to your question, Prison Break sucks and its creators are deuchebags. The first episode led me to believe that the death row inmate would be executed within days of his brother getting tossed in jail. Now, we are on the 12th episode give or take and I feel like even Andy Dufrasne would have been out of there by now. Man, what the hell is taking them so long. Now we have to wait until March for them to stretch out another day at the jail into 5 more episodes. You are right, this IS amateur hour!
Do you really get questions from your emails cuz it seems to me that you make them up so you can tailor your answers to be funny? - Anonymous
I am going to answer your question with a question of my own. If I was making up the questions as you say, why would I post your question about me making them up? That wouldn't make any sense now, would it? Any more ludicrous accusations? Didn't think so.

Thanks for answering my question EA! You have cleared any doubts that this blog isn't totally legit. Its just unfortunate that it sucks and no one ever comes on to read this garbage.

Your move!
p.s. anyone know a good knife website, in particular collections or fantasy sets of said knives.
Question for the grind:
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.

good call on jamal lewis hahaha a lock is he? 8 rushes for 17 yards and 3 catches for 23? AND fumble? i can see why you run such a successful website, congrats.
