Four jacks
Juice sent a link out via e-mail tonight and I figured I’d post it — you need to read the full post to get the link — for the two of you probably not on his e-mail list. It is the new SportsCenter clip of David Ortiz and Jorge Posada. If it isn’t the first video in the player/list, look for it. It is entitled “Betrayal.” Wally’s reaction is priceless.
I almost wish I didn’t see this, because while funny and clever, it is a little disturbing. I mean, the thought that Papi thought it was okay to ever put on a Yankee cap, whether for fun or not, isn’t sitting well with me. Good thing for us he’ll never wear one where it counts.
Anyone else see the irony of a DH giving hat advice to a catcher? He’s the only other guy not wearing a hat full-time since he never sees the field (outside an interleague game).
For a little payback, I’d like to see Jason Giambi trying to give Jason Varitek advice on hats…... Continue reading »
ATHF: Movie film for DVD
I had a good chuckle reading this week’s Entertainment Weekly. They had the stats for last week’s film box office takes and the ATHF flick only managed $3 mil. Well, what was [adultswim] expecting? This should have been straight to DVD. I heard nothing but bad buzz for it beforehand, Mooninite Massacre aside (although I guess you can count that as bad too), and somehow the reviews were mixed?
Okay, I say that having read two… EW giving it a B- and Ty Burr giving it one star in the Boston Globe. Burr may go a little heavy on the stoner vibe — probably more a point for Swim’s latest crap than ATHF — but he has a point. No one outside of regular viewers were ever going to see this in theaters, so why didn’t they just go straight to DVD? I guess they probably got the $3 mil for free as those same goers will opt for the DVD as well, but still… I don’t want to wait (if it turns out to be good).
Oh… and no, I’m not playing along with their joke with my title…
Lost: One of Us
It bears repeating here since this is how my comments have been going lately, but Juliet is “now my favorite island hottie by far, but she did make me puke in my mouth a little bit by being in bed with Goodwin.”
Read the rest of my more intelligent — maybe — comments on this episode over on The Ed Zone.
Live redesign redux
The live redesign I spoke of way back when I slapped my ZonEd template on the OB1og has finally begun. I stalled out on it because I found I liked the massaged template a bit too much to mess with it. So yesterday, I dressed things down to get this moving again… or started. Whatevs.
What you see here is the basic structure I’ll likely stick with for the blog post list, pages and posts. I’m sure more color and design elements will make their way in here, but what I am stuck on now is: To Home Page or Not To Home Page.
By that I mean, should the first page in be more like a traditional home page chock full of all the extra goodies and widgets that you don’t care about, or should it just be what it is right now?
What do you think? Leave a comment.
Lost: Left Behind
If you read the previous Aside, I go on about the Women of Lost. Well, this episode features a little mud wrestling between Kate and Juliet… Mmm… what was I saying?
Lost: Expose
You know, I think I probably sound like a major, drooling fanboy in going on about the Women of Lost — yeah, sounds like a layout in a bunny mag — but, killing off Nikki was both brilliant and gutt wrenching… well, that general area anyway…
Four bucks a gallon?
Ugh… it could be a very expensive Summer for me if I don’t get a new job, or at least relocate mine. Filling up ~3 times a week is going to get even more painful…
Lost: The Man From Tallahassee
Okay, you know I haven’t been doing a good job keeping up with my blog or others when you realize two weeks later that you didn’t read a post you were about to comment on…
Anyway, my comments on the Locke-centric episode are on The Ed Zone.
Bloganniversary
Today is the one year anniversary of this little here blog.
Yup, one year ago I posted Walk This World to announce my presence to the interwebs.
Have I progressed as a blogger? Probably not.
Have I grown as a person? Most assuredly; both in the literal and figurative sense of the word.
I wasn’t sure what my goal was when I started up my own blog, but I figured I’d get there eventually. I recently wrote about my Blog Identity. Not sure I have done a good job staying on that path so far, but I will get better. I think I just said that in the last post too, but I believe it to be true.
Work has had me busy over the last month, so I haven’t had much desire to sit in front of the computer when I do get home. Nope,... Continue reading »

Lucky and Flo
I was relating the original story of Lucky and Flo to Ed when we took in 300 a few weeks ago. He’s an owner of two Labs and it was just an interesting story to relate, but I don’t have a link to the original story I read.
L&F are two Labs on loan to the Malaysians as weapons in the fight against CD/DVD pirates. Instead of sniffing out bombs or drugs, they sniff out plastic-based entertainment warez. Anyway, since that time, there have been two more stories of their exploits, the latest being another big bust thanks to their finely tuned and trained snouts.
The middle story is the one I really wanted to comment on, and that is simply to question, WTF? What kind of a world is it when you put out a hit on two loveable Labs?
