What do you do?

Just when you get excited about baseball...

this morning's journal-sentinel

Jenkins made it clear Tuesday that he'd rather move on to another club than face any significant reduction in playing time with the Brewers in 2007.
"I've got to go (if not playing regularly). I need to go. They owe me that, as much as I've done for the organization, to at least put me in a situation where I get a chance to play," said Jenkins, who took part in his first workout of the spring.

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!!

Sticker Dunk

I don’t know if any of you guys ended up seeing the NBA All-Star Saturday this past weekend, but if you didn’t you missed one of the most unique dunks in recent slam dunk championship history with the Orlando Magic center, Dwight Howard. If you have not seen it, please check it out on YouTube. I will also have to say that the judges (Michael Jordan & Julius Erving) really screwed him by only giving him an eight (8) for a score on this dunk; most likely because he was the tallest participate ever in the slam dunk contest’s history. It was a shame that he did not make the finals of the slam dunk competition, because I really wanted to see what else he had up his sleeve for this competition.

Batters Up!

Pitchers and Catchers report tomorrow.

Position players one week.

First spring game two weeks.

Brewers cut down from 15 outfielders to 11 sometime in between.

First real game 44 days.

Honestly, How Can Miami University Not Win the MAC Every Year?

Before the Superbowl, JSOnlne had an article that analyzed the Wonderlick scores of both teams. The thing that really stood out to me was that the "skill players" on Indy (WRs and RBs) had extremely low scores on this test. Later, I saw a blip about Miami University's athletic program's success. At first I thought nothing of it, but then I noticed that it was not the University of Miami Hurricanes, but rather that Miami University Red hawks, which is normally referred to as Miami of Ohio.

Honestly, put these two together, and its hard to imagine that MU could not easily hire some shady recruiters and trick the super talented but not so super smart (although its so hard find them now a days since standardized testing now forces kids to learn things like the capital of Wisconsin is not Milwaukee and Milwaukee is not in the state of Chicago) into thinking they are signing up to play for University of Miami when they are really signing up for Miami University. If the climate of Ohio is anything like Wisconsin, it probably would be hot and humid when camp broke for the the freshman. That, along with some clever practice gear and a little "trickeration", makes me think that one could easily muster at least a super athletic team in the MAC conference.

Testing cheek's sense of humor

I'm okay with the Office thing, but if you don't find this awesomely written, I'm not sure.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31520 It's a preview for the upcoming movie 300.

I just saw a movie that’ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It’s called 300. I don’t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could’ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it’d still rule.
It’s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated shit out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.
The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it’s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, “I need some extra sauce packets” guess what? You’re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.
I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.
TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN’T LIKE:
COOL THING ONE:HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES
Who gives a shit if the music isn’t historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could’ve used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel’s Pretzel is telling you that you’ll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.
COOL THING TWO:FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS
Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There’s wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he’s got Rosie O’Donnell on his back.
Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.
NOT SO GOOD THING:DUDE NUDITY (“DUDE-ITY”)
These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they’re serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.
Any directors reading this – IT’S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.
Can’t someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?
My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I’ve seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.

A Tribute to Kevin Malone

This is my tribute to one of my favorite characters from The Office, Kevin Malone, the bald, overweight, slow-witted, and well timed facial expressioned accountant. Brian Baumgartner’s line delivery as Kevin in every episode is just hilarious. These are my top five episodes that Kevin has appeared on the show:

5. When Kevin in the “Office Olympics” episode, indicates to Jim that he has named the paper football game he plays with Oscar "Hateball" (because Angela hates it). In this same episode he even wins his own game called "How Many M&M's Can You Put In Your Mouth?" where he just inhales a large container of M&M's.

4. When Kevin in the “E-mail Surveillance” episode is at Jim’s barbeque and he keeps calling Ryan the "Fire Guy" while the two of them are standing near the grill. The "Fire Guy" reference comes from "The Fire" episode after Ryan leaves a pita in the toaster oven starting an office fire.

3. When Kevin in “Phyllis’ Wedding” episode talks about how his band “Scrantonicity” is not playing in their first wedding, but is actually playing in their third wedding, after doing the bassist and guitarist’s weddings as well. I also found it humorous that Kevin’s band was playing only “The Police” covers when he originally was playing “Steve Miller Band” songs.

2. When Kevin in “Back from Vacation” episode takes the giant poster size picture of Michael with a nearly naked Jan in Jamaica home after the day that Michael sent the picture to packaging instead of Todd Packer. Kevin indicates that he does not have or own any “art”, which is why he is taking the poster home.

1. When Kevin in the “Benihana Christmas” episode has the debate between going to the two office Christmas parties and his major decision is that he wants to go to the party where the double fudge is served, but having to deal with Angela may not be worth it. I also enjoy in this episode where he told Michael Scott that he ought to know which of the Benihana waitresses he is claiming to be his girlfriend.

Enough caring what position he plays
