  2. Dittos, Don.
    NBA bores me, the Vikings sucked this year, the Twins are trying to appeal themselves out of baseball, and I’m still too bitter over the Northstars moving to Dallas (there is no Ice in Texas) to get excited about the Wild. I guess that leaves the WNBA, which gets no coverage hereabouts, or the MINNESOTA VIXEN WFL team. Which is way cool, but they play about a 2 1/2 game season and also get no coverage.
    Harumph
    Where’s my library book?

  3. you deleted my post you jack off. that’s the final straw ass bag. i’m going to start a massive boycott of your work, signed “edgar” or something

  4. last entry has to be a joke, who would go to the trouble of putting quotations aroudn wils name and then mis-spell star trek & weakest link and also say I saw “Your” instead of “you”.
    At least they spelled Jack Off correctly

  7. I’ve come to realize that it is impossible to escape from basketball…good or bad. Of course, where I live, people are still upset about Bob Knight getting fired a YEAR AGO that the NBA is almost welcome entertainment.

  8. Last night or the night before Prince was at the Raptors game (here in TO) – i can’t recall when i was talking to my aunt, but whatever. Anyway, because we are all so entralled with basketball, her one anecdote about the game (where she apparently had good seats – a couple of rows up from his Purpleness) was that he was “tiny, and ugly”. and “wearing altogether too much makeup”.
    giving the women of my family basketball tix is obviously pointless.

  9. That may be true, Gigi, but you’ll have to admit that she had a point. (I recently heard Kevin Smith go on for about 40 minutes about how weird Prince is…)

  10. Yawn.
    What matters now is the Super Bowl.
    And St Louis is going to win!!!
    I’ll bet you an autographed picture that they will win. If not I will send you an authentic autographed picture of me. And for a certificate of authenticity, I will also send you a picture of me signing it while sitting in the back bed of my 1995 Dodge Dakota pickup!
    I’d attach an eBay link too but they really have no sence of humor over there.

  13. okay. toiletduk? well, i’ve had the same problem. if, however, you’re looking for the mario twins (they look so goddamn like the same person), you can find them here:

    it’s actually a longer version than the one on toiletduk. extra toilet humour, plus a squid.
    shigetty shiggety shwa.

  14. Hmm.. gonna mention hockey again I love the sport.. playing it.. I have trouble sitting still when I feel I should be knocking the funk out of someone on the ice.
    Tony Hawk is a hero for all.
    But gotta give my love to.. dodgeball.
    OSU Student League!
    Spudnuts.. you rock.
    -K
    give blood – play rugby

  15. What’s up with the Lakers? I dunno. What I want to know is, what’s up with the Kings? Or rather, with the King fans? After seeing reports of Saturday’s Avs vs. Kings matchup, I have to wonder.
    I mean, sure, the Kings got a couple of late penalties, including the one that let Milan Hejduk tap in the game-winner. OK, Murray got himself ejected for protesting the calls. But is that any excuse for throwing sh*t onto the ice? Whaddaya think this is, the Cleveland Browns? Maybe they’re still mad that they gave us Blake and he went on to hoist the Cup…
    Well, they’re due for a rematch tomorrow night, in OUR house…and I’ve never seen the Denver crowd tossing stuff on the ice. That’s gonna be a game to watch. (Wish I could *be* there, but Avs tickets are tough to come by…a couple of years back, I got an awesome seat for a game against the Red Wings. Now *that’s* hockey.)

  16. i swear, they COULD have caught up in the last 4 minutes if iverson didn’t friggin run into shaq on purpose to get that foul. that was like running head first into a wall, of course you’re gonna get knocked down!

  17. I’d just like to repeat and emphasize a comment I read towards the top of the page…
    Wake me on Baseball’s Opening Day!
    I’m a sucker for lost causes: World Peace, Nader for President, a Global Environmental Protection Act and the Cubs.

  19. Yes now you too can simulate whacking a ball and hoping it rolls into a little hole. Hopefully its in real time and it makes you actually walk the course one step at a time, and look for your ball in the weeds. Or maybe that’s only me.

  20. And maybe if you hadn’t voted for Nader we would actually have had a chance at some Environmental Protection. But that’s neither here nor here.

  21. Lakers are now 3 games behind The Kings and going down even faster with their remaining road stint. The Lakers would kill for the chemistry, love, and firepower Sac has to offer. Sure, Kobe and Shaq are twin basketball gods, but their supporting cast sucks.

  22. I don’t know much about the Lakers… I do know that I have to hide in shame whenever I talk about my hometown’s Wizards. Any other team’s fans can jump and cheer… I’d have to run and hide from the hecklers. Who knows what’s next… Jordan remarries? So what if the Lakers are lost, at least they’re escaping scandals and tabloid front pages…

  23. If they are such givers, why not give their fans their money back? Or better yet, give everyone that watched it the 2/3 hrs of time back, to go do something more useful.
    Or just give me $10 dollars. That works too.

  30. I just realized I forgot to shave half my face. I will need to walk sideways the rest of the day.

  31. You know what really seems popular these days?
    Espresso.
    They have these coffee shops all over.
    And the drinks are expensive!
    Kelly Tripucka.
    Echo bravo tango.

  33. I thought you meant the ELLA Lakers?
    Akeem Olijuwon did school young shaq when he was playing for that Florida team in the playoffs (against the Rockets)
    Also, he dominated David Robinson in the same series he had to sit and watch the Leage MVP trophy being handed to David right before the game.
    Shaq is a nice guy a good sportsman, but its hard to root for me to root for a guy that is that big and strong, wheres the competition? He reminds me of going up against the BORG.

  35. Bah! I gave up on professional basketball when it turned into “The Michael Jordan Show”. And it’s gone downhill since then. They don’t play for the love of the game anymore! They play to get higher paying contracts and Nike commercial spots.
    Give me NCAA basketball any day! March Madness in all it’s glory with the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, and Final Four. And, when that’s not going on, you have NIT pre and post-season tournaments! What could be better?

  36. Listen.
    Yesterday evening I drove up Terwilliger in the hills above Portland and sat in my car reading this…
    “Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII”
    http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=62-0140296271-0
    Lights came on, cars sped by on I-5… the bridges. When 19, each pair of headlights represented fascinating conversation. Each houselight an outpost where dynamic conspirators hatched creative mayhem.
    But now I know those automobiles contain Imus Opie and Anthony squeeze Jersey faux-lez tits and NPR/Bob Edwards didgeridoo, sports bar/Mexican cantina who serves best cheese sticks Potter.
    And that each houselight is “Early Edition,” “King of Queens,” and motherfucking John Boy Walton on PAX.
    And I just, you know…
    WONDERED
    Why more people can’t accept Ella as their Lord and personal savior.

  38. Seeing WATCH link, I tell you what really pissed me off recently. Twin Peaks was a cult TV series in my teenage years, but I never watched it then. So wanting finally to catch up, my husband and I just spent about $90 Canadian on the Twin Peaks DVD set and the PILOT is NOT included!!! How does that make any sense…? Has it been released on DVD yet? Does anyone have a clue…?

  39. I really suck at sports. I dont know jack about any excpet figure skating (shows how girly girly am I). All I came in here to say that I voted for this site wherever it was nominated for a bloggie. Has anyone else in here? I’m sure there are many coonsidering the fact that this site is freaggin’ hysterical and cool.

  41. What about King Of the Hill, Thats a good show, it was the same guy that did the Bevis and Spudnuts.
    So Butthead, are you an Atheist?

  42. >
    YES!! Something to watch besides football!!! *ducks the flying rotten vegetables*
    Hockey, schmockey! Baseball?? nah… Basketball? forgeddaboudit! NOW, a sport that I can and WILL watch is NASCAR.
    *listens to the crickets as everyone in the room LOOKS at me* What? I’m serious! Nothing against other sports; I just don’t watch ’em (unless I am at a URG basketball game… Go Redmen!). But I WILL watch 43 guys go around a track upteen times, and get damn excited while doing it. Shoulda seen me at the end of the Daytona 500 last year, last lap, before Earnhardt crashed. My driver, in the lead, he crosses the finish line, wins his first race. I was freakin’ out. It was great… until we learned that Earnhardt died.
    Ok. Now I’m done boring you all with this story.
    Spudnuts, you are cooler than cool, dude.

  43. All you guys are fuckin’ losers.
    Everyone who’s everyone knows that only watchable sport is Cricket.
    C’mon, in which other sport do you need an advanced university degree to understand all the rules?
    Cricket forever!

  44. This is entirely off topic.
    Which is perfectly par for the course when I post, neh?
    For those of you with math and chemistry questions (serious ones, not “why is the sky blue”), I’ve put up a post in the soapbox under “other stuff,” header “Math and Chemistry.”
    Terms and Conditions may apply.
    Not available in all areas.
    Please call ahead for reservations.

  45. I leave this site for two days to check out the Soapbox and suddenly there’s another “Rob” posting.
    Two of them.
    It’s like “Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” but with Eurasian playwrights.

  48. This has nothing to do with the Lakers (’cause I don’t give a rat’s ass, honestly), but did I miss Wil saying that he was going to be the special guest on Beat The Geeks? I just happened to walk by the tv just now, and there’s our buddy, TV’s Wil Wheaton, reading questions.
    Lookin’ good, Wil…lookin’ goood…

  49. He mentioned something MONTHS ago that he was going to the set to help out with some questtions. I can only assume this is what he meant.
    That kicked ass.

  50. Yeah, we just saw him, as the special guest questioner when the contestant took on the “Star Trek Geek.” My wife and I recognized him immediately, and started cheering. He looked good, and read the questions with his usual wit. (Admittedly, reading two questions off index cards doesn’t leave much room for improv, but he did it with style.)
    As for the “Star Trek Geek”…god, he was verbose. It made me want to do a WFS and yell “GET A LIFE!” And, hell, I could have answered those questions as well as he could :-).
    Bravo, Wil. Bravo.
    Eric
