Lindsey

March 10th, 2010  |  Published in observation

I think the e-trade commercial should have featured an emaciated baby called Lindsey Lohan, wearing a love-bug helmet, and snorting coke.  A milk-a-holic baby named Lindsey is too subtle.  I frankly thought, “Man, Lindsey Vonn sure does like milk and is much younger than she appeared when skiing.”

Pure Corporate Hate

February 23rd, 2010  |  Published in criticism

Why the f*ck (thats fuck) was the USA versus Canada Olympic hockey match shown only in low-def on Directv?  You had Curling in high-def, but not the center stage of the Olympics?  You abysmal, impotent bastards.

And don’t tell me why.  Don’t feed me the PR Pablum.  I don’t care about your stupid contracts, your negotiations, that you are the ‘leader’ in high-def.   That you tried real hard.  The 100 dollars a month I spend makes you freaking responsible for my media happiness.  I expect only perfect images on my 63 inch plasma and you failed, you miserable spankers.  And I know the dirty secret here:  You had the nerve to send me the same bill after you killed my Indycar season when you dropped Versus – and you will surely send me the same bill for having to watch smear-o-vision hockey.    And like a flubbering dolt, I will pay it, not because you are better than the other idiots, but because I am locked in and it’s a pain in the neck to switch.  Re-programming all the remotes would take a week alone.

So I scream, rant, stomp my feet, and call you names:  you pedestrian Troglodytes;  Mullets;  Butt-monkeys.

Ice Dancing

February 23rd, 2010  |  Published in criticism

It appears female ice dancers wear more mascara and they like to dress up.  I know that they are cute and talented – but failed – ice skaters.  Its sort of sad, but uplifting in a weird sort of way, beauty coming before talent and all.  And they do dress up all fancy.   Ok, maybe I don’t get it.  The American’s dress up as Indians (from INDIA) while the French dress up as cowboys (from, I think, the Tenderloin District in NY).   They need to fight the couples together and that would be something…

Technology Princess

January 23rd, 2010  |  Published in observation

I’ve become a technology princess.  I can’t watch my hockey in regular definition any longer.   I’ve grown so accustomed to the clarity, I can no longer see the puck in regular def and it now merely looks like frantic, uniformed angry skaters.

My a/v unit has some Dolby superfly THX setting that allows me to hear the curse words of the Hockey fans behind me when I watch the game.   It’s so lifelike, I often throw things at the fans, but just leave marks on my ceiling.  Now I throw a Mr Clean Magic Eraser, which cleans the existing marks, and shuts up the abusive fans just as effectively.

Coaches

Often Coaches appear mean on the outside,which doesn’t always mean they are mean on the inside.   I mean, what’s mean anyway?

Weight Loss

We eat until our bodies grow beyond their capacity to live.  And then we work our bodies beyond their capacity to work – to shrink them to a livable capacity.
