Someone told me about this ridiculous free kick goal by Nakamura on Celtic Manchester. Of course I had to find it on YouTube and it really is incredible. I have no idea how he brings it up then down so fast. My shots usually keep going up and over the net or they sputter out before they even reach it.
It’s that time of year again. Drunken nights with some friends, playing football and eating way too much food. I think I may need to revisit my top holiday list and move thanksgiving to a higher spot because it really is a kick-ass holiday.
This morning we played some football and it was mad sloppy from all the mud, but a great time nonetheless. It cracks me up seeing the all of the old guys running around like they are 12 years old again. That Budweisser commercial about Thanksgiving football games sums it up pretty well. “Loose interpretations of the two hand touch rule. Bad passes and even worse head jukes. But good times with old friends.” Err Something like that. I couldn’t find the video online, so you’ll just have to catch it during the games.
Tonight we are going to the grandparent’s for dinner. I’m probably going to get loaded first to make it easier because it usually sucks. I almost envy the family in the video below. (How you like that segue?) At least they keep it interesting. If you can’t see the video, click the blank space.
Happy Thanksgiving Kids
We have all, at one time, fallen victim to the beer goggle effect and if you haven’t yet, you will. It is inevitable when alcohol and social interaction is involved. I can count (thankfully on one hand…ok maybe two) the number of times I have been slammed with the beer goggle effect and no one was there to rescue me.
A quick example of “the goggles” in action, for those who aren’t in the know. Let’s say you are at a bar and this seemingly attractive girl is all over you. 6 or 7 drinks later you are thinking “damn this is in the bag”. Everyone decides to leave and she offers you a ride home in her red pickup truck (mistake #1). You think to yourself, “This is too easy”. You get to her place and things start to heat up. Ahhh but you need to drain some of that beer out of your system, so you go to the bathroom. As you are letting loose you notice an economy size box of male condoms on the bathroom sink. “Oh dear God, I have made a terrible mistake”, you think as you scramble to find a way out of this bind.
It is at that exact moment you realize you have been looking through beer goggles all night and you are in for a world of pain. You decide that it’s maybe not the best idea to go any further with this pseudo-goddess and you pass out on the couch, watching Mary Poppins.
The next morning you ride shotgun in her pickup truck feeling dejected and severely hungover. Now, every time you are at that bar you see her and your balls shrivel up. Rough.
Anyway, that is the beer goggle effect in full force.
Well there has been some studies and the results show that there is actually a formula can be used to determine the level of the effect in a situation. It turns out that the bar I frequent has a high beer goggle level. It is also the place where a fair amount of regrettable experiences have occurred. Suprise, suprise.
So within the last few weeks Clear Channel Radio Broadcasting has been acquired by another company called Private Equity Group. Why is this important? What monumental effect does it have on our lives?
Well for one, no more Free Beer And Hot Wings show in the Philadelphia area. I know a lot of people don’t really like their show, but I absolutely love it. Now, they have some lame jazz station in their place and I am pretty sure Whoopi Goldberg does a morning show or something. UGH.
RIP Free Beer and Hot Wings. This is just a quick news update - better post coming later in the day.
SNICK holds a special place in my heart. A place where it’s cool to tell cheesy ghost stories around the campfire or puke up hairballs that are worth gold. Where choreographed dance and poorly translated french men reign supreme. The memories of SNICK are forever etched in my mind as I am sure they are for most cool ass people my age.
I decided to throw together a top 10 list of my favorite SNICK shows. Ironically, there were only about 11 shows in total, so the top of the list is just filler. “Top 6 SNICK shows” didn’t do it for me as a title, woof.
The List:
So I am a Harry Potter freak, if you didn’t already know that. I’ve read all the books (a few times) and seen all the movies (a few times). I am such a big fan, that I decided to join Dumbledore’s Army (as you can see). I’ve been secretly working on my charms and I am ready for some action.
New HP trailers excite me. They should excite you too.

PS. Daniel Radcliffe is arguably the worst actor of all time and should not be given any dialogue in the movies.
Apparently this guy tried buying a new Playstation 3 on Ebay. Instead, he accidentally bought 3 of the original Playstation consoles and not the new one. The Ebay auction is deceivingly written using double negatives, capitalized words and other forms of literary trickery.
Take a look at the Ebay Auction.
So now this poor guy is out 900 bucks and still no PS3. I hate people who do auctions like this. One more reason the Nintendo Wii dominates the PS3, bitches.
Edit: Just found this video of some nerds having their way with a PS3. Poor guys.
