I stumbled upon my new favorite show a couple weeks ago, MTV’s “16 and Pregnant”. This show should be a must see for everybody upon entering the grade.
This weeks epside featured ________ (I can’t remember the girl’s name) and Gary. My first impression made me think of my friend Shawn, who introduced me to the quesion “Chubbers of Preggers”, because the chick in this episode would answer “yes”. Best part of the episode is when Gary goes to Wal-Mart to purchase the engagement ring. Final checkout price for the ring, $21.40. Fuckin’ yeah! However, this is the first epsidode that I’ve seen where the dad and mother actually have a relationship. So if $21.40 engagement rings lead to good and positive relationships then I won’t judge. Good for them.
Last night was the 2009 NBA Draft. The Twolves had a modern day record of 4 first round chances to screw up, and I think they did. Rubio doesn’t want to play here, he has a $6.6M buyout, and he’s 18.
Anyway, the highlight of the nightI guess was Kevin Love’s twatting. Here were a few of his gems from last night:
“what are we doing????????????????? omg we better trade….what are we doing??????????? i dont even know”
“Be careful what you wish for….i love ty lawson but all point guards?”
“jump shot, sprints and outlets…all things I will be working on with new acquired players”
“these guys are going to love my outlets…nuff said”
Also, Conan had an actual Canadian Timberwolf on this show Wednesday night, freakin’ adorable.
No don’t worry, I still have a job. But the real Rick Rickert was cut. First off, I’d like to apologize to my readers for not finding this information sooner. This was apparently breaking news back on June 11th, so sorry. Rickert was cut from the New Zealand Breakers due to salary cap reasons, which is a bad thing, but that also means that he had a salary over there, so kudos to Rick! Maybe now that Garnett and McHale are out of the Timberwolves organization, Rick can come back and play for the Wolves…..though he’d have a better chance of making the Lynx. Ooooooo.
So we’re 70 games into the season and last nights Twins v Astros game made me want to do some stat checking. In last nights game, the Twins hit 4 HRs. They went from having the 2nd least amount of HRs in the majors last year, to the 11th most this year. But last years argument was that they were still scoring runs, small ball was still producing. Last year the Twins averaged 5.09 runs per game with 9.64 hits (both were 4th best in the majors). This year the Twins are scoring fewer runs at 4.86 per game and slightly fewer hits at 9.33. What does all this mean? I don’t know, don’t care, lost interest…
Alright, I thought that I should give Jimmy Fallon another chance after ripping him during his first week of shows. If come across some funny bits on Hulu, including the the Saved by the Bell Reunion clips and the DMB GPS bit below:
Funny and damn good. So I thought I’d watch another episode, start to finish to see if it has actually gotten any better. I chose the June 9th episode with Will Ferrell (should be funny), Kyra Sedgwick (will be annoying) and Mos Def (should be great).
When Jimmy walks out, he still looks like he has no rhythym, which is odd because he is a pretty good dancer. But he walks out to the stage bobbing his head, clapping his hands, and moving around in odd motions.
Still has a bad transition from the introduction to the monologue.
The applause and laughing after jokes are still weak.
The overall monologue is still bad and lasts about 3 minutes.
I skipped ahead a few minutes, it was sucking Skipped the Ferrell interview. Skipped half-way into Kyra’s interview. Skipped the rest of it. Hopefully Mos Def saves the episode. Terrible episode.
So A&E is running a new show called Obsessed which each week follows around 2 people that suffer from OCD. In week 2 we meet Rick, a classic nutjob. Rick’s anxiety is caused by his need to live forever and experience as many new technologies as possible, a very realistic plan. His routines include lifting weights about 50 times a week, taking around 40 pills a day, and not turning clockwise! A freakin real life non-ambiturner! Don’t believe it exists, check out this video around the 0:11 mark.
Jimmy Fallon’s show is terrible, but it does have one shinning thing going for it: The Saved by the Bell Reunion. Zak Morrish looks exactly the same 20 years later.
Big Gouda was in Minneapolis this weekend tauting his ability to eat hot spicey foods. Everbody knew better. On Saturday, Big Gouda manned up and went to Roseville’s Buffalo Wild Wings to conquer the Blazin Challenge. There was only one problem.
Big Gouda, while looks like a man, is a pussy The tears starting forming after 5 wangs.
Does this man look full? Or in pain from consuming hot spicey wangs?
Our server told us that the vast majority of people who attempt the Blazin Challenge complete it, around 90-95%. She also has seen a number of 12 year old girls do it. This weekend taught us that Big Gouda, a 26 year old man, is in the bottom 5-10% of wang eating and is easily dominated by 12 year old girls.
This is Big Pun aka Big Pruner aka The Prune aka Prune aka Pune aka Poon
As of today, he has a new nickname. If you see this guy, whether or not his face is buried deep into a tuperware dish, please call him by his new name…
Say What!? No, the vampire in Rochester is not a hot female. Apparently (according to the Star Tribune) a vampire was 2-days away from his trial in Rochester, MN. This 45-year old vampire who goes by the nickname “the Impaler” was dating a teenage girl online for two weeks before the teenage girl wanted to call it quits. Sad. They met on MySpace. Adorable.
Apparently the Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor made a racial comment in the past. WCCO (Minneapolis’ CBS affiliate) ran a story last night asking whether or not a minority can be racist. A very interesting question. My first thought was, sure, why not, they are entitled to be whatever a white person can be. Shortly into the story I learned that I was wrong. A lady on the street informed viewers that minorities can not be racist because racism is not just prejudice against a race, but it involves an element of power too. This was quickly backed up by a University of Minnesota professor. So then I started thinking, if a minority can’t be racist because they lack the power to be racist, isn’t that racist in itself? Does the whole race need to be powerful? Or can just the racist individual be in a position of power? Who determines whether or not a race is powerful enough to be racist? Can a black person be racist against Native Americans? Is there a power ranking system like the NFL which lists the different races and how they stack against one another? I realize that I’m going off on a bit of a tangent now, so I guess my question is, to reiterate to original question, can a minority be racist?
WCCO just reported that a level 3 sex offender has been lost in Minneapolis. The sex offender’s name is Willie Johnson….seriously. Willie Johnson. Is it hard to believe that Willie Johnson is a sex offender?!
