Its Baaaaaaack....

***WARNING: The following post contains crude language and/or adult situations. Reader discretion is advised.***

Remember a long time ago in a galaxy not so far away when someone had the idea to do a top 5 list every friday? Man did we ever let that one go. Well in the name of procrastination I'm here to restart the trend! I've been writing papers like a chump lately and swearing a lot...mostly to myself, but occationally with others in listening distance. I've also noticed that I'm enjoying the songs with more cursing in them lately too. So thats basically where the inspiration for this list came from. Enjoy!

The Top 5 Songs with Excessive Use of the Word "Fuck"

5. Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to Fuck Wit - Wu-Tang Clan
4. America, Fuck Yeah! - Team America: World Police
3. Fuck You - Pharoahe Monch
2. Adreniline - Obie Trice
1. N2Gether Now - Limp Bizkit and Method Man

Help!
I need help for a future post. What criteria do you use to determine how good a television program is? Or more importantly what criteria would you like me to use to determine the quality of a group of TV shows? I don't want to give too much away cause I don't want to bias the suggestions, but I'd like at least one criteria from everyone that just read this*....yeah all 4 of you!

*except Steve cause he already knows whats up

OK. Blue Jays. Let's. Play. Ball.
I'm fully aware that today is the 8th of December. You should be aware that this post is going to be long...and all about baseball. Its nice to see the Jays as major players in the offseason, J.P.'s second most important job is to create fan interest in a team that hasn't been setting attendance records in a long time. The most important job of course it to put a baseball team on the field that can win a game any night against any opponent. From my prospective hes doing a pretty good job of both.

We might as well start at the begining (I was gonna throw a Bible joke in here like Eko/Echo on LOST last week but I just couldn't make it work...I'm only letting you know because its the thought that counts) J.P. rented a dump truck to carry a pile of money over to B.J. Ryan's house and convince him to come to T.O. Sure we (yeah I said 'we', its probably going to happen a lot in this post, try not to freak out too much) overpaid, but thats what had to be done. Do you think anyone wanted to go into next season with Miguel 'Blown-Save' Batista as the closer? Exactly.

Next up J.P. holla'ed at A.J. Burnett, and unlike Gwen Stefani he actually holla'ed back (That shit is bananas!). Yes we knew whoever got A.J. that he was going to be overpaid, but I like the guy and its not like I'm the one paying him so I was all for it. $11 mill a season? damn thats a lot of money, but I'm okay with it. The Doc and A.J. are a solid and scary 1-2 punch, plus two lefties and my homeboy Josh Towers holding down the back end of the rotation. Yeah I'm likeing the potential starting 5.

But Mike J.P. you say, we still need some bats to support this pitching. Well have you checked the sports section today? The Jays just aquired Lyle Overbay from the Brewers for Gabe Gross, Dave Bush and a pitching prospect. I like this trade for two reasons, first we didn't give up a starter. Gross is stuck behind V-Dub, Rios and Frank 'Rediculous Batting Stance' Catalanotto for a spot in the outfield and Bush is behind at least the 5 starters I've already talked about. I have no idea who this prospect is/was and if he turns out to be the second comming of Rollie Fingers then I guess we'll just have to admire the moustache from afar. The second reason I like this trade is that it means J.P. isn't done yet. This gives us Overbay, Hillenbrand and Hinske as first basemen. Hillenbrand and Hinske can both play the three-bag too but we've got Canada's golden boy Chad Kroger Cory Koskie there (I'll never get tired of that Chad Kroger joke by the way so your best bet is to just come to love it). So one of those guys can move to DH/utility man and someone has to pack their bags.

Of course out of those guys Hinske probably brings the least return, but unless a really good offer comes along I'd like to see him moved. I'd package him and Batista together and ship them to Wendy's for an order of Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers if I could, but if J.P. can get an actual major league ready player for them that'd be cool to....I guess.

Wow I was planning to go on and talk about some of the moves that other teams have made, but I think I've eaten up enough words for one day. There were some major trades that went down worth looking at though, so you can get over to mlb.com and have a look. Or stick around here for a week or so and I'm sure I'll get to it.

Last thing on the Blue Jays theme, in case you missed it one of the best players to ever come through Toronto retired. Peace out Johnny O!

P.S. the music quote answers are up now.

Hot dog! We have a weiner!
Okay so I didn't quite get to this story on the weekend. My sincere apologies to anyone who waited around for it (hey it could happen).

The Set-up: Two weekends ago I went on a trip with one of my classes to a place just outside of Toronto. It was only a 3 hour trip...but it was on a yellow school bus. I used to say that they don't make those buses for tall folks, but now I think they're just not made for anyone. So we get to our destination and get the educational portion of the trip over, and then instead of going to bed like a responsible adult a small group of students and I decide that our night would be much better spent being rediculous. I woke up on a 4 foot wide loveseat (I'm 6'5" remember) and a little bit hungover. Then we went on a nature hike, learned a little more and piled back onto the bus to go for lunch.

The Order: We arive at the establishment where we will be dining and its a quaint little eatery just large enough to accomadate our class (about 20-25 people). Now at this point I'm feeling not too bad, but I want to be safe and not offend my stomach so I start looking for something unoffensive. Poutine? I inquired about the cheese, but it was just shredded cheddar...thats not worth taking the chance on. Soup of the Day? Clam chow-daire...say chowdah! Yeah, well I wasn't going near that. Then I see what looked to be the best option on the menu "Hotdog - $2.00". Yeeah thats the one, I can handle a hot dog, and for two bucks this can't go wrong. Then our server takes our orders:

Me: I'll have the hotdog and a Pepsi please
Server: You want everything on that?
Me: Everything but relish
Server: Okay great

The Hotdog: So our food arives, and the hotdog is set before me. Someone at the table actually started laughing out loud (or LOLing for you fancy internet folk). Have you clicked on that picture yet? Check it out, thats what it looked like after I tried to fix it up a little. When I got it all the condiments were in the middle of the bun with nothing at the extremities, and the onion ring was sitting on top of the bun. So I used the onion to spread the toppings around a little to gain some more coverage. Oh and do you see that green stuff? yeah that'd be the relish I didn't ask for. And how old do you think that bun was? I'm putting the over/under at a year and a half.

The Aftermath: Someone at the table actually asked if I was going to eat it. My smart-ass reply was 'No, I'm gonna take a picture of it and sell it as artwork. Of course I'm going to eat it...its not like you can ruin a hotdog'. So if you want to order a colour print of that hotdog you and e-mail me and we'll work out a fair price. But if you want to save it and make it your desktop picture I'll let you do that for free! Anyway it turns out I was right, you can't ruin a hotdog, because in spite of its appearance it was actually pretty good. Well except for the relish, that shit is just ass-nasty!

Its A Good Life If You Don't Weaken

What were the Boston Bruins thinking?! (ok clearly they were not) What good does trading the franchise player do if you don't get a star player in return. I don't like this trade from either side. First off, the Bruins lose the franchise and the face of the team (well if you don't count their 3rd jersey Winnie the Pooh as the face of the team). Their top line centre is now a guy with 9 points and no goals, hopefully when Glen Murray gets off the IR someone will still be able to keep feeding him pucks. Second off, San Jose now has Thornton and Marleau as their top players...and then what? who is playing D on this team? do they even have a second line? is Nabokov back yet? Oh well at least they got rid of Wayne Primeau.

House and LOST this week were awesome!

I bought the Tragically Hip's 'Yer Favorites' today. Its 2 CDs of 37 tracks ($15 at Zellers folks!) and it rocks my socks...and I'm not talking about gravel.

I also purchased Jay-Z's The Blueprint: The Gift and The Curse, again a double CD for $15...woohoo! I haven't listened to it all yet, but one song I was excited to find was The Watcher 2. Its the remix of The Watcher off of Dr. Dre's Chronic 2001 album...or is it just 2001...I can never remember. Anyway the bottom line is that its a good song.

You know when you're talking to someone on the phone and they have to write something down but you need to spell it out for them. You gotta do the whole A as in apple, J as in jerkface thing to make sure they get it right. What do you do when they can't get a number right? I'm trying to tell someone my phone number I say "555-9345" I get back "5345?"..."no, no 93"..."53?"..."93! 93! as in....1993!" I tried asking if they knew Doug Gilmour but no dice on that one.

At some point over this comming weekend I'm going to tell you a story about a hotdog. I'm warning you now that this is not a good story, its not even that funny...but it has a picture so you're gonna hear about it. Plus it helps with that damned writer's block thingy that seems to have taken up permanent residence in my head lately

Oh and the title of this post has nothing to do with anything, other then the fact that it was the song playing when I finished this post and I can't think of a better title.

This bullit doesn't have anything to say...and I'm outta here
