G.O.P. vs. C.R.E.A.M.

Further proof that the end of the world is upon us: 59-year-old Illinois Senate Republican Leader Christine Rodagno name-checked Raekwon on the Senate floor, and then mistakenly attributed Method Man's chorus from C.R.E.A.M. as a source of inspiration to fix what ails Illinois' budgetary woes. ODB is spinning in his grave. And I feel really old as this is further proof that the Wu-Tang Clan is the musical equivalent of classic rock to today's 25-year-olds.

I hear that the combination made their eyes bleed.

that lady reading wu tang lyrics is equivalent of me reading a passage from "the vagina monologues."

I have proof that Emeril Lagasse does not read G:TB: my local cheese shop sells bumpers of Samuel Smith's India Ale and I was in there to stock up and to get some morbier and as I was paying the cheesemonger I realized that the guy next to me looked really familiar and then I realized that he was Emeril Lagasse and that he was looking at my beers so I said "This is the good stuff" and he said "Never heard of it" and if he read G:TB he would have heard of it because of this: http://gheorghe77.blogspot.com/2010/02/brevity-soul-of-whit.html.

my youngest daughter and i found a pair of butterflies that were mating on our fence. she asked how long it takes for butterflies to mate. then she asked, 'how long does it take you and mommy to mate'.

'like sting, i'm tantric, sweetie'.

better answer than the truth.

For some reason I read that line as "like a stinger, blah blah blah"

Whatever happened with that whole soccer relegation business?

i commend to your attention the godawful shoes worn by the syracuse lax squad this afternoon. in combination with their orange helmets, the neon yellow shoes make them appear to be victims of a highlighter factory explosion.

as tr noted, it's pretty amazing watching the 17th place team in the epl celebrate like kids on christmas morning. we need more relegation.

and i think fulham make the europa league next year, which is cool.

Terps choking this one away. Give up 2 goals in the 4th, and they'd won 10 of 12 face-offs but Cuse won this huge one. Big trouble for MD.

Whitney said...

As usual, I'm an idiot. Terps pull out an awesome OT win.

rob said...

cuse deserved to lose for allowing nike to outfit them in that hideousity
