Great Moments in Playboy Radio

Channel flipping on my way to work today, I decided to flip to Sirius and see what the Satellite radio provider had to offer up.  I find trusty Playboy radio and stop for a second to hear what debauchery is going on.  To my surprise, they are playing a little trivia game with Naughty Melissa.  The hosts, Kevin Kline and Cort McCown, are going tete a tete against Melissa in trivia.  Below is what happened, not word for word, but good enough:

Host1: What insect staged its first attack on humans in McCallum (sp?), Texas in 1991?

Naughty Melissa:  Human Insects?

Host2:  Yes, attack of the roachmen!  No...what insects staged their first attack on humans in McCallum, Tx in 1991?

Naughty Melissa:  Well, McCallum is on the border of Mexico, or right near it anyway, so I'm gonna say roaches.

Host1:  Can we give her a hint? 

Host2:  You can tell her that it has wings.

Host1:  Can I give her the initials?  Melissa, it is not roaches

Naughty Melissa:  Roaches have wings.

Host2:  He just told you it's not roaches!

Host1:  The initial could be a K or a B

Naughty Melissa:  Katydids?  Or maybe it's ladybugs...I remember ladybugs being everywhere around that time

At this point, I got out of the car.  Of course, the answer was Killer Bees.  And I have to imagine every Mexican in Playboy's listening public is offended at how easily Naughty Melissa made the connection between the Mexican border and roaches......

Sign of Growth

The Lakers ended their two game skid last night with a win over the Warriors de Golden State.  Interestingly enough, the Lakers have limited their losing streaks this season to no more than two games.  four times this season they have lost two in a row and bounced back.  That is a definite sign of growth.

In even better news, there is a good chance of a Lamar Odom Friday night against Charlotte.  Though the team has held the ship without him, the two in our one two punch has been missed.

The Idol is Back

Say what you want about American Idol, but tryouts are one of the best things going on TV.  Tonite's gems: 

  • Randy says "You don't have to be a singer", and Simon follows with "And now you know you never will".  After a bit of crying, the contestant goes outside to converse with the camera saying "I keep waiting for them to come out here and say psych".  Wow, she said psych.  I guess they still say that in Minnesota?
  • Paula Abdul:  "Oh my god that's a note I've never heard"
  • Jewel: "So are you serious when you're doing this?"
  • Contestant: "Do you guys want the poster" (She had a Wizard of Oz poster as she had done a ditty as the lion from the movie.  Randy's reply?  "No"
  • Randy: "Man, Prince'll never be on this show again"

Chinese got it right!

The Chinese are my new favorite people!!!  To commemorate the year of the pig, the Chinese Postal Service will be releasing a pork inspired scratch and sniff stamp which upon lickification reveals a sweet and sour pork flavour!

Oh hell yah!  I would write fewer emails and write more letters if I could get a collared green inspired stamp.  Or maybe, just maybe, a garlic (I'm a garlic junkie) flavored envelope with an italian bread inspired stamp!!! DAMN BE MY DIET, FEED ME MY MAIL!

CRANKY.COM

This website is not targeted to me.  But I do find it hilarious that the search engine for those 50 and up is called Cranky.com.  That's just funny...

Mejia's idiocy continues

The L.A. Lakers did the rest of the NBA a huge disservice by snapping Dallas' 13-game winning streak on Sunday night.

Tony Mejia has long been on my list of 'Paid Idiots with a Keyboard'.  His 'opinion' pieces are based on little more than his like/dislike of a player, team, or coach.  Naturally, his dislike of the Lakers franchise has made us archrivals though I'm unsure if he's hip to me as his adversary.

Anyway, his latest piece basically states that the Lakers should have intentionally lost a January game in order to allow the Mavericks to continue winning until they get complacent.  Yes, he is suggesting they should have thrown the game.  Now when Dallas' previous double digit win streak was broken, there was no suggestion of throwing the game.  Why would a so-called expert ever suggest a team throw a game for the sake of the league?  Idiot.

With that said, great game Sunday night.  No Kwame, No Lamar, and a 9 point deficit headed into the fourth quarter made for another confidence builder a la the Houston game a few weeks back.  These Lakers are showing the league a lot about heart.  They are showing me a lot about teammates.

Bitchilistic Bell Back At It

Raja Bitchilistic Bell is back at it.  He was suspended for one game without pay for kicking Andrea Bargnani.  Let's see, last year in the playoffs he intentionally closelined Kobe Bryant citing Kobe's arrogance etc as the driving factor.  What now will he say in regards to Bargnani....after all the dude's first name is Andrea so he can't be all that instigative. 

Perhaps Bitchilistic Bell has a maturity and a temper problem...maybe a complex derived from his pure sucktitude...

Ugly WeekEND

VT's quarterback throws the game, Redskins lose again.  Combined on Saturday evening, my teams gave up 52 unanswered points.  The Redskins game doesn't hurt, expected to lose....they are a losing team.

But I am starting to believe that VT QB Sean Glennon is getting some kind of payback from UGA alumni.  It would be different if his throws were accurate and the interceptions were a result of phenomenal effort from the DB's.   Alas, twas not the case.  Balls batted at the line of scrimmage, nearly every pass thrown short.  Embarrassing, simply embarassing and I wouldn't be surprised to find out 20 years from now that somebody *cough*Glennon*cough* was paid to throw this game.

To top it off, I lost the Super Bowl in Madden 20 - 17 last night....football sucks....
