Shaq to the CAVS

I think this is incredible, although it's probably the same deal that has been floated in the second half of the season. Also, as much as Shaq is pretending like he's ok with Kobe matching his ring total, I don't think so. The conductor of the gravey train express is calling, and the next stop is Cleveland. I think a better fit would be to put Chris Bosh on the Cavs.

Enough of the Cavs, I want to talk Spurs. I really want to see Charlie Villanueva on the Spurs. I want Tim at the 5, and CV at the 4. It would be such a dominant team. CV brings a versatile inside / outside game to the Spurs. Tim can still dominate the floor, and he can still cause a double team. Plus CV would add some youth to the team, and start preparing the Spurs for the post TD21 years.

I have to admitt, I cannot stand Magic Johnson as a commentator. His interview of Kobe was really good, except for the part
that it was not an interview, but instead a admiration / love fest. I'm not sure if he's worse than Tim Legler though. He is so full of crap.
It's funny a bigger network like ABC/ESPN can't put together a first class crew like the one on TNT.

What the hell is going on here? Why would you let this photo out in public? If I was Mike Tyson, I'd ask these guys to turn off there station.

Does anyone out there think that Kenny Rogers is a genius? Before you answer that question, ask yourself if you have ever actually had his chicken! I had it in the Bahamas once, and it was easily the best chicken meal I have ever had. I figure if you give him the Gambler, his Chicken and the fact he tried to reinvent himself with Children books you need to at least consider him in the conversation of genius musicians. With all of his botox he is sporting these days you can also include him in the conversation for plastic faced freaks.

Miner and Miner


This midget in a bear suit has nothing to do with Carl and Beth Miner. It is an awesome picture though. I really think it's one of the top 10 pictures of all time.

Seriously, if you do want to hear some extremely talented people check out Carl and Beth Miner. They are surely the most talented musicians I have ever met. It's a freakin crime that they aren't millionaires on the top making cash money. What's even more interesting is that Carl is also a phenomenal photographer. I was at his office once and there was a picture of his wife. I asked him what the picture was about and he said it was advertising a show. The picture was so good that I thought one or both of them had some kind of photography display. The photo was actually for one of the music events they performed at. The Miners are awesome people and you should check them out. www.bethminer.com and www.carlminer.com

If you get tired of some interesting people that are true artists, go back and check out my buddy Jimmi T - http://www.jimmit.com/home.html Jimmi will totally overwhelm you with idiocy, bad hair, worse music and general dereliction. That's why he is so great though. I heard that his influences are Jimmy Buffet and Eddie Money, so really there isn't much more to say about the guy. All I know is that some one close to him really should introduce him to a freakin super cuts. Give me a break.

What's up with Ding Dongs?

So, I used to own a Bar at one point. Maybe 15 years ago. I had a rental property behind it, and my tenants name was Winky. That was his first name. He was a member of a Harley Davidson Motorcycle club, and so was his Dad. Rightfully so, it is pretty hilarious to name your kid Winky. My friend Mike would call Winky "Bing Bong". He said with a name like Winky, you are limited to silly knick names, so the only name that is more unbelievable that Winky is pretty much "Bing Bong". It was awesome when people would say, "what's that guy's name?" and someone would say, "oh, that's Bing Bong." Then of course people wouldn't believe it and you'd have to explain that Bing Bong's real name is Winky.

Now imagine what must have happened at the Hostess Bakery Laboratory when they devised the secret formula for a Ding Dong! If Ding Dong is what they came up with as the final name, what on earth could have been on the short list? Obviously, naming two pieces of cake filed with white cream in a thin sac was a pretty hard task. Perhaps they could have been called Winky Cakes, and that would have been equally hilarious. On the other hand, a name like Sphinct O's would have worked, but it sounds too much like a cross breading of Sphincter and Cheerios. Really, a Ding Dong probably has the nutritional value of a Squirrel Sphincter, but that's what is so awesome about the Ding Dong.

I'm done with Eddie Money! I'm sick of his act.

I actually hate Eddie Money so much that I have to include him in the tile of my blog. His four songs are pretty much crap. If I was mildly retarded, then maybe his music would be awesome. Is there a music concept more obvious than "Two Tickets to Paradise?" What about "Take Me Home Tonight!" I have one, how about, "I'm a Total Joke, and an Insult to Musicians Across Time and Space." I heard he actually composed this song, but Weird Al won the rights to the lyrics in an arm wrestling match. Seriously, Weird Al makes Money look like the freakin Beatles.

If you want to check out an awesome musician, there is a quasi-derelict named Jimmi T. He pretty much cuts his hair with a spoon and will sleep on your couch if you let him. Check it out - http://www.jimmit.com

His guest book is sometimes hilarious, except he normally seems to pull down the funny posts.
