Lunchtime Look-a-Like



So, if you tuned into the Celtics-Lakers game yesterday, you may have seen New England hero, baby daddy extraordinaire, Tom Brady, rocking glasses.  I am assuming they are for fashion only, but it could explain his less than stellar Super Bowl and pass that was juuuuuuust a bit off to Wes Welker.

Have we done a TB-Biebs look-a-like before?  I'm not sure, I'm to lazy to look.  I do have two questions though:

1.  Is it a good thing if your All Pro QB is following the fashion trends of a teenage pop star?
2.  Is it possible that Biebs is TB's first kid?  TB is 34, Biebs is 18.  So you're saying there's a chance...





I can't find video of it yet, but how bout TB bro-ing it up with Kobe at the game?  Just shaking hands like they are going to hang out later on that night.  Dude, come on, would it kill you to show a little support for the Boston team, and tell Kobe to go back to Eagle, CO?

El Sesenta por Ciento de las Veces Funciona Todo el Tiempo



On the ride into work this morning, I was listening to the Will Ferrell interview on the Sports Hub with Toucher and Rich.  This was the first time I had heard about his new movie, "Casa de mi Padre,"  which is all in Spanish with English subtitles.  Because of that, it won't be a big hit at the box office, but this has to prove to be an awesome movie to rent and watch with buddies, right?  That could be tough too, since most people will be reading the movie, but probably still awesome.  Anyway, this movie will probably be pure insanity and weirdness for an hour and a half.  I guarantee you that my high school Spanish teachers would play this in class just to avoid having to speak with us or do actual work.  I didn't go to a very good high school.

I really think you could watch "Anchorman" or "Step Brothers" in Spanish and they would still be awesome.

I Need to Write Things Down


I don't necessarily mean on toilet paper, like this epic scene from Lethal Weapon 2, but maybe like the old Norm MacDonald, "note to self" on a voice recorder.  However, I always come up with the most awesome, funny, world shaking ideas when I have had a couple of drinks, hop online to start doing research for the blog, but then get side tracked and never remember them.

Let's take this past Friday.  I get home and as planned, my wife is out with work friends, so I start drinking whiskey, grill some steaks, and watch college hoops.  About three hours later, I am pretty drunk and my wife calls me to meet them out at a bar.  Cool, but there is no way I can drive.  None.  Also, strangely, there is a snow squall going on.  So, I make a great decision, and walk to the bar, knowing we'll be able to get a ride back.

Now, remember, I'm pretty hammered and probably staggering a bit down the streets in the snow.  The snow flakes are huge, so at one point I am trying to catch flakes in my mouth (and failing), when I see that someone is about a half a block up and they definitely crossed the street because they thought I was a crazy person.

I'm going off on a tangent here, because what I wanted to talk about needing to write things down.  When I woke up on Saturday, I get back on the laptop, see the tabs I had open on my browser and have no idea what I was looking at.  I had that Lethal Weapon parody up, which is awesome, but I have no idea why I was looking for the toilet bomb scene.  However, it was probably going to be awesome.

Ugh.  I should probably sprinkle some Adderall or Ritalin in my booze.

Stuck In My Head



Why?  I have no idea.  How is this song stuck in my head?  Also, there was the fact that instead of the actual lyrics, I was singing "Bermuda, Bahamas, come on pretty mama, Hipolito Pichardo, come on why don't we go..."

You know who Hipolito Pichardo is?  A pretty crappy major league pitcher for the Royals and Red Sox in the early 90s to early 2000s.  However, he has a dope name.

























How about John Stamos in that video?  Dude, sweet hat and nice job wearing a Beach Boys t-shirt while on stage with them.  I thought it was an unwritten rule that you shouldn't wear a t-shirt of the band you were seeing at a concert.  If that's the case, what's the rule for performing on stage with them?  That's like me wearing a t-shirt with my picture and name on it to work.  Actually, that might be kind of awesome.
