Something New

I've created a new section. It's called, "Rumor Has It" and I basically use this section to disclose something mostly true or mostly false. Without further adieu:

Rumor Has It... that both my parents read the entire Preakness post last week. My mom called to tell me that it was discovered under the history tab and that dad watched every video. Although he would not admit it, Juan Sr.'s favorite video was the one of the girl crying by herself with sunglasses on. You know what this means though - two more readers!! That brings the total up to 4, counting me. Pretty exciting I know

.

Sweet...

.

The Return of American Gladiator. I can't believe I had forgotten about this show. If ever there was an indication that steroids were on the rise - it has to be this show. I'm not just talking about the gladiators either, some of the participants are clearly juicing. Most of the ESPN classic shows I've seen have included:

.

Gemini - This man, under strict definition, may actually be retarded. Watch him fight a contestant on the show because... well, because he's dumb.

.

Malibu - Woops. After watching this*, Gemini may actually be the Albert Einstein of gladiators. I'm not even referring to the first 15 seconds of this video - I'm referring to the last 40 seconds.

If you were wondering... from now on when I recap my night, I'm going to say, "taking a little brewski (do hand motion), with a beautiful babe on my side (do hand motion)" in that california voice.

.

*I think I got this clip from somewhere else? Sorry for not citing, but I honestly can't remember where.

.

Nitro - After some discussion with my friends I've decided that Nitro is the only gladiator we liked when we were kids. I hate them all now, but I think that name makes for a great first impression. 2nd place for name goes to Turbo and 3rd place - Laser.

Both can be seen in this great video. Turbo gets pwned at first, but makes an incredible recovery on the 2nd guy. I need him playing ILB for the Rams.

And how about Lisa's move - I want her as our back-up RB.

I know we already have a kick returner, but put Mike back there too. Juke city.

This guy clearly wouldn't make it in the NFL. Too much gimick. The audio being all messed up actually kind of adds to the video. Whatever, Kyler gets punched in the face for it later. The best angle of the "overhand right" is at the 3:35 mark.

This could go on for forever - I must digress.

.

Well the following is something I've been waiting to share because I believe it to be sweet...

.

Without Sports. You know those "without sports" commercials that show on Espn and occasionally on CBS and such. I like this one. But I like this one that never got onto the air more.

.

Without Sports. He would just be a murderer

The following is insanely lame...

Copyright Infringement. That message (pictured) is ruining me. Already on the Preakness post I found that the Gladiator scene was removed, and I was re-reading some of my Champions League stuff and every link has been taken down. I knew this would happen once YouTube was sold. Why must all good things come to an end?

back to sweet...

This is why I love Bob Dylan

I'm as pale as a ghost
Holding a blossom on a stem
You ever seen a ghost? No
But you have heard of them

What can you do - it's true. That lyric is an extract from his latest, Modern Times. If you already like Bob, you'll probably like this cd. The album has those typical Dy-lan moments that sort of cause you to forget where you are and feel dizzy with appreciation. He is clearly past his prime but I liked the album anyway. Great for driving trips.

Ps - that same song from above ends with this:

I wanna be with you in paradise
And it seems so unfair
I can't go to paradise no more
I killed a man back there
You think I'm over the hill
You think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time

See what I mean...

Fabio gets stwerked. I promised someone I would put this video up because after all, it is hilarious.

Flight of the Conchords. Minute for minute, this could be the funniest show out there. It is unsustainable, but if you haven't been watching you need to do whatever you can and start. The videos (for now) are available on YouTube. They are in 3 parts for each episode - it's pretty straight forward.

I'm not ready to talk about:

Need4Sheed.com. How good Mike Vick looks in that suit.
