Beyond Bling, Beyond Click Clack

I'll get baby pics and whatnot posted but until then. I saw this awesome boxed ride (I learned that term from "Pimp My Ride") parked outside my office building where they are doing some type of filming on the 3rd floor.

 

Apparently, Ronald has been dipping into his own stash. This is what I want at my b/day party-- a clogged artery, fat assed Ronald McDonald.

D-Day Approaching (Delivery Day That Is)

Doc appointment today... at least LP is making some progress. Up to 2 cm. Better than last week where she was near zero.

We're going in Thursday morning for LP to be induced. So Caroline will be born one way or the other.

I've officially started freak out mode-- perhaps I had too much coffee this morning but I almost passed out and threw up simultaneously at the doctor's office this morning. I'm taking a chill pill later.

I'll keep all 3 of my loyal readers updated on baby progress.

CLICK CLACK.

Thanks and Apology?

Thanks to Jerrell Powe for dropping out of Ole Miss and dropping the lawsuits against Ole Miss and the NCAA. You did the right thing.

However, in a statement to the press Jerrell claims he can read and write and he does not like all the things people have been writing about him.

Uh, oh. I pray he doesn't visit garyzyriek.com or I might be sleeping with the fishes tonight.

Don't Believe Me... Listen to the SEC

 

SEC: Officials made correct calls at Auburn-LSU

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- The Southeastern Conference determined that officials made the right decision in reversing a pass interference call late in the Auburn-LSU game.

"Basically, the call of removing the flag would be correct because the ball was uncatchable after the defender tipped it," SEC media relations director Charles Bloom said Monday.

Auburn defensive back Zach Gilbert was flagged for interfering with receiver Early Doucet deep in Auburn territory in the 7-3 LSU loss. The flag was waved off because officials deemed that Eric Brock's tip of the ball made it uncatchable.

Another controversial fourth-quarter call that went Auburn's way was also correct, Bloom said.

An LSU interception on third-and-29 was negated because Daniel Francis was penalized for interference on receiver Courtney Taylor, giving Auburn an automatic first down.

That pass was ruled a catchable ball, Bloom said.

LSU coach Les Miles had complained after the game about both decisions, saying the interference on Taylor "didn't disable him from catching the ball."

Miles also said he believed the other play should have been pass interference because the ball was tipped downfield, not at the line of scrimmage.

The rule states only that an infraction occurs when the contact "could prevent the opponent the opportunity of receiving a catchable forward pass."

Click Clack, Stroked Out and Spoiled

Last weekend I got to watch my first FULL football game in HD at Ghoastface Killa Zack's. The picture was crystal clear but a tad small. Fast forward 1 weekend to Auburn-LSU; viewed on the father-in-law's 50-inch plasma in all it's HD glory... HOLY SHAT. After watching the game on that TV I immediately came home and defecated on my TV. It's like working the fry vat at McD's then having to go back to mopping-- you've seen the promised land and you never want to go back to the barren wasteland that is analog TV. I prolly have 2g worth of stuff in the garage that will hit ebay this week.

On the game: Of course, I could not cheer too much because I was so freakin' nervous the whole game. When you're an Auburn fan you hope for the best but fully expect the hammer to drop at any moment. I was relieved to have the game over with and pocket a win. But the best experience was that TV, ah that sweet TV that I wanna lay down on the bear skin rug and make sweet love to.

When did Jordan-Hare sell its soul to Under Armour (CLICK CLACK BEATCHES !!). I noticed an awning to one of the tunnels was replaced with a UA "Protect This House" cover. I love UA gear (I actually use it as base layers for bike riding) but I liked the fact that Auburn used to always support Russell Athletic which is very close to Auburn geographically. I hate to see that we broke those ties.

Stir The Friday Pot

I won't upset too many folks if I rip on Ole Miss today-- since dannyR is the only Ole Miss fan who reads my blog.

However, my bro-in-law (whose wife is a lawyer) will have to take it light as I also rip into lawyers (a profession I rank right below prostitution-- at least when of these professionals screws you you feel good about it).

So let's make this quick because I don't want to spend all day on this on.

Jerrell Powe, young fellow so uhlitterate that he could not get a HS diploma; only a certificate (I guess to indicate "completion", kinda like an "attendance certificate"). He needed a certain amount of credits to go to college so he does great in online correspondance courses. However, the teacher that helped him basically says he's dumber than a rock.

Let's get this clear-- this kid cannot read or write. This is not even up for disagreement. IT'S A FACT.

But what good ole Jerrelll lacks in reading and writing he makes up for in playing da foozball like the dickens. So he enrolls at Ole Miss and wants to play this American football. However, the NCAA denies him freshman eligibility.

Why do they deny him such eligibility? According to his lawyer, it's because of racism and that the NCAA is also in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hold up. Did we read that correctly? The race card I'm used to. If someone gets their food at Wendy's before a black person it becomes a race issue in Memphis.

But to bring the ADA into the mix is downright unforgivable. This is a mockery of the Act and people with REAL disabilities should be very upset about its use in this case. Being dumb is not a disability, sorry.

And his lawyer needs to be flogged for this. Making such idiotic claims makes me believe his lawyer is also Floyd Landis' representation.

BTW-- what can I say about Ole Miss for admitting someone who admits not being able to read and write? How did they even admit someone who made a 12 on the ACT? I mean, it makes me so angry I can't even make a coherent thought reach my fingers to type it.

Perhaps Jerrell should sign up for some of those "self study" Sociology courses that the football players at Auburn take.

Ending the U.S. Labor Shortage

I know W loves blowing up brown people or shooting them off walls while they try to enter our country from the South. Don't get me wrong, Gary Z is the one who voted to put the "illegal" in "illegal immigrant."

However, the U.S. is about to suffer a massive labor shortage due to retirement of the Baby Boomers. Geee, where can fill that void? How 'bout the people from Mexico who will virtually do anything to get into this country?

We farm out tons of manufacturing labor to China and China would much rather nuke us than help us. The Mexicans, on the other hand, are DYING to get into this country.

Would it be such a bad idea to legally let them enter and enroll in English and job training programs?

I think it's a great idea. We help them improve their lives, give them a legal manner in which to become U.S. citizens and we cut our trade deficit with the Chinese.

And now that I think about it, I won't even require them to be proficient in English. Native Spanish is no harder to understand than Ebonics.

"I'm Gonna Phuck You 'Til You Love Me" and Other Tuesday Thoughts

As if there was any question that Mike Tyson was crazy I heard some uncensored clips from a pre-fight press conference from a few years ago in which Tyson waxed philosophic.

I heard it on Stern and they said they could not do it justice when they were on "free radio" so they replayed it in its uncensored and unedited glory. WOW. Dude is crazy. In addition to the above statement he also screamed at someone and told them he was gonna "eat their arse." Um, is that a threat or plans for a date?

The Crocodile Hunter was killed this weekend. I'm sure everyone heard about that. But does it really surprise anyone? You gain fame by phucking with some of the deadliest animals in the world. When one finally kills you is it such a surprise? I fully expect my friend Snuff Film Paul to have acquired the video of Steve's death by the end of this week.

Surprises for the weekend. I got shat faced drunk for the opening weekend of football season.

Who looked better than I thought? Auburn, Tennesse, USC (Troy that is), Georgia Tech (even though they lost), Ole Miss's running back with 12 names-- BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Baylor-- until every player started cramping worse than a premenstrual  wildabeast.

Who looked worse than I anticipated? Mississippi State (I know it's hard to imagine them getting worse, but they pulled it off in a loss to South Carolina), Notre Dame (even though they won), Cal, FSU (even though they won), Ole Miss's receivers-- your quarterback looks retarded when you guys keep dropping balls, Colorado-- dear goodness, don't schedule a seson opener against a pansy team... THEN LOSE.

LP and I spent Monday morning in the hospital with "fake labor." I prefer to call it "unproductive labor" since what she's feeling is definitely real. Hopefully we'll have another little girl in the mix soon, but until then we'll just keep a waiting.
