Stock Up
National Anthem - There is nothing more emotional to somebody then hearing our national anthem. Now I know some of you don't even know the words, but that is ok. As long as you follow the beat and see the flag you are good to go. I just hope that those who do sign the song, don't sound like this....
National Lampoon's Cosey Vacation - For all those who don't know, I was fortunate enough to go with my family for a European vacation. It was definitely a great experience not only seeing the different countries, but being with my family too. I have so many stories that I could talk about ranging from the many long walks to places, the metro singers and of course the red light district. It was a great experience and I definitely want to thank my parents for that great trip!
Ron Cosey - For those of you who know my dad, I am sure you can picture some of the things I will say about him. He was over in Europe trying to speak all the languages to all the locals. God love him for doing the best job he could but dad..stick to English. He also had a bit of a wallet problem over there so this is my dad in thought....
He was thinking of how to survive the day with only 90 cents in his pants! LOL
Red light district - We have all heard the phrase "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" but after seeing the red light district I know things there need to be under wraps. That place is a combo America's top model/half baked/Pretty woman all wrapped in one. I have seen some stuff that was just too much. I mean don't go to one of their coffee shops because you ain't getting coffee!
Cali
Wanted to give my cousin some serious props for his hard work becoming an Air marshal. I know he is going to do a great job and is something he has always wanted to do. I just had to put his picture in here because I can't remember the last time my cousin didn't have any facial hair! LOL
Euro cup 08- I know most of you on this list don't follow soccer but let me tell you, this year it was real good. I think for the first time in a while Americans watched those matches more then ever. Obviously being over there that is the biggest thing in those countries. I just have to say that i hope America comes to play in the next world cup. Shoot I had such a good time watching it, I might try to catch a crew game.
Dublin Fireworks - Where else can you see Rick Springfield and some top notch fireworks. Dublin is just a very VERY proud community that seems to bring everybody out for the fireworks. This year they got Rick Springfield..whose only song I knew was Jesse's girl (shout out to BGSU..only reason I would have known that). Last year they had KC and the sunshine band. I can only hope next year we get ABBA or the Time. That might be a bit too much for Dublin though. The fireworks lasted for about 25 mins so you definitely got your money worth watching them!
Stock Down
Bozo the clown
Man you know its a sad day when Bozo the clown died. For those of you in Ohio you know he used to be on WGN in the mornings. I used to get mad at the kids who could never throw the ball in the bucket even though that it was 2ft away. I used to watch his show until that new hit show got on fox called "The Funhouse" with my man J.D. Roth...where is that guy at?
What in the world are you doing Arod? Its bad enough you are in NYC trying to win a ring for the yankees. Now there are reports that you are having an affair. What makes matters worse is who you are doing it with...Madonna! Now I really don't have anything against her but c'mon. Just because she makes 4 minutes with Justin Timberlake doesn't mean she is hot. Plus isn't she married to Guy richie? Then your wife is with Lenny Kravitz? C'mon now Arod keep your house in order and try to keep the tabloids out your life!
Gus Macker - I might have to say that I might be retired from the greatest 3 on 3 basketball tourney of all time. I don't know if my body can get back to those peak years of 96-97 where I had the best teams but couldn't close the deal. I always seem to lose in such weird fashion. There was the one year in which I sprained both my ankles on back to back plays. Beat a team led by Russel, Gerald and Perry but lose for 3rd place. However, the worst loss ever was the year we played in Findlay against Cooper tires. My boy Kopp and I were like Patrick Ewing and the knicks..we got there but couldn't close the deal. We thought we added the final piece with Delon who could hit that jump shot. Unfortunately for us, that wasn't the shot he chose when we could have iced it. After I broke down the D and found Delon, he sold the worst layup in Gus Macker history. Then he started arguing who he got and his dude sprayed that 3. That was the closest I would ever get to championship glory. I might try to come out of retirement, and if I do I will let you all know. I will be training like Rocky after the Russian killed my man Apollo Creed.
Krogers - Man what kind of meat are you serving us. All the beef in the world and most of yours in contaminated. Look this past 4th people were trying to enjoy their hamburgers and hot dogs, so you needed to be a bit more careful. Quit feeding these cows that grass with all that spray on it. See whatever they are eating, we end up eating too. Look I am not a representative of Peta, I am just not trying to go to the doctors and pay that 25 copay for some stomach issue!
Respect - Lost in all this hype of Wall-e is the robot who started it off. Not many robots combined humor, love and action much like number 5
If it wasn't for him, Steve Guttenburg and Ally Sheedy..Wall-e wouldn't have been as popular as it is now. It might pass Short Circuit in sales, but it won't be that soundtrack. Short Circuit had that hit by El Debarge "Whose Johnny" which sold millions. I think that song might be up there with Thriller in top sales of the 80's. Fun fact you can win some money or a drink...Number 5 changed his name when he heard the song Whose Johnny...hence the name Johnny 5. Yeah that is some good trivia..you can't find that on Scene it!
Colombian Rebels - I first want to say that it was great that some prisoners in Columbia were able to escape and get back home to America. I couldn't even imagine living for 5 years chained to the necks like I was an extra in Roots the next generation. However, stop and think..what happened to those rebels. You know they went back to that camp and had to meet with their leaders. I am sure that they paid the price for that loss.
Bret Favre - Can you just leave the game? We hear about you every year coming and going, retiring or not from the game. Just leave and go back to Mississippi and wait for the sequel to There's Something About Mary. Bottom line is you aren't going the Superbowl this coming year. There is this team up north who plays in the twin cities who is thinking bowl this year...that's right folks..those Minnesota Vikings.
Alright kats, I am waiting for these guys to come and fix my carpet so I am about to bounce. I will see you next week as I get this post going back to its weekly update. Have a great week!
