Fire Speedy!  Sorry to be so cruel, but you all know it's time. Speed bump has had some good years, unfortunately, he's also had some bad ones - lots of bad ones - try 7 in a row under .500. That's unacceptable!

While Speed bump boasts a 646 - 281 career record, his success varies at different levels. He has 347 career high school victories, with a winning percentage above .800 in those games. His record with Lionel Simmons is amazing. 100 victories and just 31 losses. But it's all down hill since that time. During the Donnie Carr era, Speedy guided the Explorers to a 43 - 67 record and a .391 winning percentage. Many times the coach is the scapegoat for a team without talent. That's not the case here. Speedy successfully recruited 3 Catholic League Players of the Year in a row. And with a lineup featuring Donnie, Victor Thomas, Rasual Butler, and at times Travar Johnson, the best Speed bump could do was 13 wins. While we may have been entertained by his "coaching" style which consisted of air kicks, screams, and neck tie pulls, we'd be more entertained with wins.

The only real issue I see is who to hire as his successor. Do we give Bobby Knight a shot? What about Gene Hackman? Rick Pitino was always successful on the college level. Or we could stay within  the Morris family and give the job to most qualified person - Zack Morris.  I'd take anybody right about now - even Terry Francona.

252 Million Dollars.  He got 252 Million Dollars.  Imagine being on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?  You survive the barrage of questions, you conquer ABC's collection of genius', and Regis gives you a hug.  You now have $1 million.  A feat so rare, only 6 contestants have done it to this date.  You become the 7th.  Congratulations, you have 1/252 of A-Rod's money.  252 Million Dollars.

Let's not even dwell on the fact that he could buy 84 million happy meals, or 9000 Porches 911 Carreras, or 52 minutes of commercial time during this year's Super Bowl.  Let's focus on the amount - $252 Million.  What do you think was his response when the Rangers offered him $250M?  "No, I want 2 million more."  Greedy *#!^@&!!!

I wonder if he can even comprehend how much money he has.  I haven't been able to do it yet.  He makes 9 figures; that's one less than making twice as many figures as me, which means he already makes more than twice as much as Com. Majors who role in with their starteling 4 figures.  Way to go Wildes!

So, Puffy, look out!  A-Rod's got 1/4 billion and he's coming after Jennifer.  And owners, look out!  Now your players want big bucks too.  So when you see this girlfriend stealing short stop around Arlington, pat him on the back, because he just ruined baseball.

Dear David Stern,

We are writing you because we are concerned about the future of the NBA.  We have been watching the Sixers tear through the other teams in your league like Cartman through a box of cheesy poofs.  We've decided that the Sixers are just too good for your league.  Here are some suggestions to make the games more interesting.

One thing you could do is let the other team play with 6 players.  This may help improve the Sixers league leading opponent's FG% of 40.9.  Another idea is to skip the 3rd quarter.  This would definitely alleviate the Sixers from having their 4th straight game with a 10-0 run in the 3rd.  And finally, take the best 50 players in the league and split them into 5 teams.  Then have the Sixers play these All-Star teams instead of their regular season games.

The bottom line is that we are 10-0 and we have 72 games to go.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Dan & Remy

Election 2000

 

 

 

Election Day has passed.  Praise the lord!!  But this election has taught me something.  Not about how important it is to vote, and not about the duties of the electoral college, I learned how to make a horrible political commercial.

You start with a black screen and dungeon music.  Then you throw stupid phrases on the screen as a devil narrator makes totally ridiculous accusations.  "Senator Smith voted on a bill that would sacrifice every couple's first born son."  "Governor Jackson wants to raise your taxes 500%."  And as these statements are read, you show newspaper clippings that bash your opponent.  "The Philadelphia Inquirer said that Congressman Jones' plan to raise the dead is immoral and illogical."

Then the narrator gets happy, delightful music plays, and your politician graces the screen.  In the first shot he's wearing a hard hat at a construction site, talking to architects as the voice over comes in..... "Senator Johnson wants to build new office buildings so that every mother can have a job earning $200,000 a year."  The next scene is your candidate walking with children on a beautiful spring day.  "Senator Johnson wants to improve schools, without raising taxes, and pay for every child's college tuition out of his own pocket."

Then finally, you bash your opponent one more time with a derogatory quote on the screen.  At the same time, you put a picture of your candidate in a little box on the bottom of the screen with the words 'Paid for by Mike Johnson's campaign party.'

Why do politicians do this?  Why do people believe what they say?  And how do politicians get away with only working n beautiful spring days?  I've never seen a Senator at a construction site in the rain, or walking with school children in the middle of a blizzard, or hustling from meeting to meeting during a July heat wave.  Stick to your strong points - shaking hands and empty promises.  PLEASE, stop making commercials.

For this installment of the 2G, I am going to do something rare - Stop bitching.  Instead, I have compiled a list of questions I've been thinking about.  Have fun!

Why is the abbreviation for pounds - "lbs."?

What ever happened to ring around the collar?

What kind of name is Elian?

How come nobody I know has ever been slipped a Mickey?

Girls?

What is Heinz thinking with green ketchup?

How do you get Bob from Robert, Jim from James, and Dick from Richard?

Do people really watch Xena?

Why do people call me to ask me if I got their e-mail?

Why is the airport McDonald's so expensive?

What happened to The Bermuda Triangle?

Why is Fabio so rich?

If you know the answers to any of these questions, help a brother out?

$12.71 - Is that a lot of money?  Depends on what it is spent.  A new Lexus - great deal!  A milkshake - it better have a lot of liquor in it.  A new CD - not bad.  Jean shorts, a degree from Villanova - you just got ripped off.  Pictures?  And that brings us to an important question.....

How much do we value our pictures?  Do I sound like Carrie Bradshaw?  Pictures - memories frozen in time - birthdays, graduations, baby pictures, topless RoyBoy covered in shaving cream, friends passed out on bathroom floors, etc.  You know what you take pictures off.  But what is a fair amount to spend on pictures?  I was recently bamboozled by Ritz Camera.  

The giant sign hangs outside the store - "1 Hour Processing $7.99"  So I take my film in and fill out that little slip.  Why do they need my address anyway?  "When do you want them?"  "Um, in an hour?"  The super cool film developer guy exhales in disgust.  "We're backed up, and the machine is broke, how about tomorrow morning?"  The super cool 2G exhales to spite.  "That's quite an hour!"  Anyway, I go back the next day and after 10 minutes of trying to find my pictures, they ring me up.  $12.71.  "Excuse me?"  $12.71.  Puzzled, and in a daze, I hand over a 20, and as I receive my change, I ask what the normal price is.  $12.99.  "But the sign says $7.99?"  "Only if you're a Ritz Gold Member[or something]"  

I recommend to all my secondgeniuses to boycott Ritz Camera.  I've found quite a deal at Shop Rite.  $6.99, 2nd set free, Ready next day, and you won't receive a snotty exhale from a super cool film developer guy.  And while you're there, pick up some Ice Tea Mix.  It's divine!

Attention bachelors!  I would like you to meet my roommate Jenn.  I've decided it's time for Jenn to meet the perfect guy (since I'm already taken.)  I'm tired of her going out with ....... words that I can't say on my webpage.  So I'm asking all the decent guys out there to come forward and court my roommate.

Jenn is 5'9", has short blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes.  She likes candlelight dinners, long walks on the beach - seriously, she's a great gal, and she watches SportsCenter.  She's beautiful, funny, intelligent, and gets drunk easily.  Sound good?  This 22 year old Aquarius graduated from West Chester University with a degree in Marketing and is currently employed by the Philadelphia Phillies.  Thankfully, she's not a computer wiz, otherwise this page would be in the garbage.

Here's how the game works: E-mail me at secondgenius@usa.net.  Tell me 3 reasons why I should let you take out my roommate.  All e-mails will be responded to.  The top 5 candidates will win the chance to take Jenn out for 1 night.  No weekend trips or slumber parties.  If she still likes you after that - the rest is between the 2 of you.

The walk goes on forever!

As many of you know, I turned 23 last week.  (Thanks for all the cards and gifts.)  In the weekend following my birthday, I took a trip to the lovely town of Wildwood, New Jersey.  In an attempt to be more mature like my age suggests, I did not consume one drop of alcohol while down the shore.  Instead, Alanna and I used our Saturday night to "hit the boardwalk" in an effort to recapture our youth.

I remember my childhood days in Wildwood much like a reminiscing scene from a movie, with an always blurry, never steady camcorder playing back my life.  My sister and I building sandcastles, my mother kissing my knee where I thought a jellyfish had stung me, and sitting atop my father's shoulders eating cotton candy as we walked down the boardwalk.

Welcome to the 21st Century.  And with it comes the new Wildwood where Biff Tannen is mayor.  It's as if Wildwood found a way to clone Slim Shady and spit 10 of them out on every block.  A nightmare filled with overweight bikini wearers and Iguanas on leashes.  Where $50 gets you 3 rides on the boardwalk and 2 slices of pizza.  Imagine a place where the skill of throwing a ring around the neck of a bottle 10' away only awards you with a fake Winnie the Pooh.  For this is our new Wildwood.  Embrace it, but not too tightly.  Prepare for the worst - when the Slim Shady machine starts spitting out Vanilla Ices.  Then, not even the Curly Fries will save you from the Apocalypse.

You know I couldn't leave this one alone.  Now I'm not part of any political affiliation, not even independent.  Just because I still can't understand how being independent and not picking a party, automatically puts you into the Independent Party.  Anyway, how bout d'em Republicans?  Here's what I don't get - Why do you hold a National Convention when you've already picked your nominee for the presidency?  I'm not being mean, I know the Democrats are doing the same thing.  

I now understand why the Republicans have come to Philly.  For the past few weeks, I've been wondering why they would come to one of the most Democratic cities on the east coast.  Now I get it.  They don't care who they piss off. Even with their chaos, traffic jams, protests, and riots, they won't lose any votes.  And what's with the elephant?  It's not much better than a donkey, but what about a bald eagle on a motorcycle with a gun that shoots lazerbeams.  Or a superhero - Republicanman.  He could be an old, rich, white, country club goer with a navy blue suit, a gun, and a cigarette. 

Jon Stewart

One good thing about this convention is it has reunited me with my good friend, and old roommate Kevin Wildes.  He has taken a job as Jon Stewart's personal bitch.  Go Com. majors!!  Look for Kevin on The Daily Show on Comedy Central.  He'll be the guy wearing my clothes and kissing Jon Stewart's ass.  Maybe he'll do a skit where he plays that protestor who was putting newspaper vending machines in the middle of the street.  What's with that guy?  Seriously, is he missing a brain.  What's his rationale?  "If I put this in the street and spray paint this car, they'll bring back 8-tracks."  Get a life loser!

July 20, 2000                   I love you, Alanna

Okay, forget about invading Canada.  I have a new dream.  I would like to be commissioned traffic officer of Philadelphia/South Jersey.  My responsibility would be keeping order on the roads.  My weapon of choice - not a ticket book; a paint ball gun.  That's right, if I don't like the way you're driving, your car's gonna look like it used to belong to Jerry Garcia.

Now, of course I would be fair.  I would only shoot the people who break traffic laws.  Like you people who drive in both lanes - lock 'n load!  And you people who park in the middle of the street or can't keep a consistent speed on the highway - duck for cover.  Taxis, buses, and people from New York - get out of your vehicle and run when you see me coming.

It's not that hard to be a decent driver.  Use turn signals, pay attention to signs, and get out of my frig'n way.  I would also like a battering ram put on Kitt (Kitt is the name of my car) so I could ever so gently bump the #%&@ who goes 10 m.p.h. below he speed limit in the left lane.

June 23, 2000

I want to invade Canada.  I apologize to all my Canadian homeys, but the US needs a war to fight.  I figure, if we were at war, our government would have better things to do than waste our time, money, and resources.

I used to be upset, now I'm downright pissed.  Leave Bill Gates alone!  He did nothing wrong.  Is it his fault the rest of us are morons when it comes to designing computer software?  Let's face it, if it weren't for Bill Gates, we wouldn't have the technology we have today.  So instead of reading this, you'd be watching Whoopi Goldberg on reruns of Hollywood Squares.  Hey Whoopi, you're more pathetic than Arsenio.  X gets that square.  But before I go off on a tangent, let me finish my point; leave Bill alone!  He's the best at what he does, don't make him split up his empire.  You didn't tell Michael Jordan he couldn't play offense and defense in the same game.  You didn't tell me I needed 2 websites.

Okay, so let me get this straight, our gov. wants to deregulate industries to promote competition and lower prices to consumers.  Well then, explain to me what's up in the airline industry.  United is merging with USAirways.  Northwest is merging with American.  And Delta is merging with Continental.  Hmmm, I fail to see how that creates competition and lowers prices for travelers.  Bringing us to the largest monopoly in this country - the US Government.  We need to send Shaft to Washington and regulate that mother - watch your mouth.  But seriously, something needs to be done.  I think every member of the senate should be tar and feathered.  New plan - Canada should invade us.  I'd rather be under Canadian rule than be forced to ..... wait, do they have the internet in Canada?  Whatever.  I'm done bitching.  I'm on vacation.

If you agree with my thoughts, I'm looking for a running mate. Apply here.

"Sure but I am still thirsty, oh mercy!  It's worse see, come first see, oh curse me!  It's Jersey!"  - Treach

No, I was not born in New Jersey, and no, I do not live there now, but I did spend half my life there.  And I'm proud to say I love my state.  People are always ripping Jersey apart, and I always stand up for it.  Sure, it's not the cleanest state, it's not the safest state, and the car insurance isn't exactly a bargain, but where else can you get a Western Omelet at 4am?  And to all those hypocrites who bash Jersey, yet spend your summers down the shore - thanks for paying the Expressway tolls.  "The shore is different, it's not Jersey."  Good job genius - look at a map.  I am the New Jersey protector!

And what do I get for supporting my state and keeping the name New Jersey holy?  A ticket.  That's right, on a trip to Sea Isle (which is in Jersey) last weekend, I received a ticket for parking in the wrong direction.  Are you kidding me?  There are killers out there.  There are thugs selling drugs to little children.  There are people who cross there 7's.  Some guys out there are wearing jean shorts.  People are enrolling at Villanova.  But I guess they all park their cars in the right direction.

Be careful NJ, I'm on your team.  Don't bite the hand that drops $.35 at The Great Egg Harbor toll.

First things first, I would like to welcome our new roommate Remy to Club 944.  No, that is not him in the picture.  So when you see Remy around, welcome him to the hood.

Last weekend, Remy and I figured out the perfect way for two new roommates to bond during their first weekend together - The Spelling Bee.  That's right, my new roommate and I sat on the couch and watched a stage full of 7th and 8th graders with giant glasses and bad haircuts attempt to spell out words we have never heard before - we couldn't pull ourselves away.  The routine is the same for each speller: ask the origin, ask the definition, have it used in a sentence.  The judge does everything but spell out the word. Just watching the contest puts your brain in a coagulable state.  In a way, you feel sorry for these kids.  The majority are home schooled and they're stuck with names like Rohit, Kalev, Hester, Virian, Colt, and Gladdis.  Seriously, Gladdis?  Did she bring the pips?  I'm surprised more of these kids don't feel as lonely as chasmophyte.  But maybe an experience like that is good for their young psyche's.  I didn't see any pussillanimous kids.  The large vocabulary could create some deipnosophists when they reach adulthood.  

The winner was George Abraham Thampy of Maryland Heights, Mo.  He will grow up with the TV as his best friend, he'll never have a girlfriend, he'll tuck in his sweatshirts, probably wear jean shorts, and eventually start his own webpage which he uses as a forum to voice his opinion on things he finds annoying or funny.  Or maybe he'll turn out like me and his only flaw will be that he wears socks with his sandals.  But regardless, he'll always know what a quidnunc is, and how to spell it.

To check out the whole event, visit the National Spelling Bee website.  No, really, they have a website.

  VS.    VS.  .

Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!  That's right kids, it's time for the battle featuring the worst and most annoying commentators in sports.  The competitors are ESPN's Peter Gammons, TNT's Hubie Brown, and NBC's Bill Walton.  Let's go down the octagonal ring for the start.

I think the best way for this fight to be set up is to have each announcer start off in a different corner, and place some Torture Devices in the center of the ring.  At the bell, the announcers run out and grab whichever device they can and let the fun begin.  The devices would be a bucket of honey and a jar of killer bees, a curling iron connected to a very thin glove, headphones that only play Dan Fogelberg, hair color products, Ebola, and a baseball bat soaked in hydrochloric acid.  Then at the end, when one announcer remains alive, the walls will protrude sharp metal objects, and slowly close in.

Now a message from the 2G:  This is to let the world know that we will not put up with crappy announcing.  Jerry Glanville, Dan Dierdorff, and Isiah Thomas: be careful.  You're next on my list.  I'm giving you one more season to improve or you'll be faced with the most inhumane torture of all, I'll cover you in salt, pepper, and lemon and feed you to Andy Reid.  

If you would like to see a sports announcer tar and feathered, e-mail me.

Recently, New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman has been rebuilding the Garden State.  Her newest objective is a $30 million mission that will "level every human-made structure" on the south side of the Admiral Wilson Boulevard.  Gov. Whitman's plan to rid the land of cheap motels, liquor stores, and strip joints is already underway.  For improving our great state, I applaud her; but I do have a problem with her anti-capitalist proposal.

I do not feel compassion for the Motel managers, the liquor store winos, or the strip joint owners.  I feel compassion for the people out there who make us happy that our lives are not as bad as theirs.  I'm talking of course about the street walkers.

So I have done some research and come up with some new locations for these ladies to work.  First, is Route 130 in Cinnaminson right off the Betsy Ross Bridge.  I feel this would be a primo location because of the ample Motels in the vicinity.  Second, Route 73 in Pennsauken by the Expo Center.  Is there a more seedy spot in Jersey?  The third spot is in Marlton at the Routes 70 & 73 circle.  This could be the perfect spot because of the heavy traffic.  I would like to see some bus stop type benches put up as hooker rest stops.  And the final place is in Mount Ephraim on the Black Horse Pike right by Kings Highway.  There's a strip club near by and the Black Horse Motel is just up the road.

If you think you have a money making spot for these broads, let me know through the miracle of modern technology, e-mail.

April 30, 2000                              Hi Jenny

It's summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime.  Well, not yet, but it's close enough for me.  I like most people out there, except for a former roommate, am tired of wearing long pants.  I'll switch to shorts on any close to warm day, even though some say it is still too cold.  A wee bit chili maybe - but when you got legs like mine, you gotta show them off.  Guys - put your shorts on.  Khaki's, mesh, cargo, anything cotton; but if I see any guy wearing .......we'll get to that another week.  This week, my beef is with the girls.

Girls - we know you're cute, we know you smell nice, we know you'll never understand illegal defense or the infield fly rule; and for that we love you.  Now quit while you're ahead.  Why must you insist on wearing capri pants?  News flash - GUYS HATE CAPRI PANTS!!!!!  Are they shorts?  Are they pants?  "No Dan, they're capri's"  Capri this.  Put a skirt on.  Remember that kid in 3rd grade who wore the pants that were too small, and we all said, "Is it gonna rain?" when we didn't even know what that meant?  Well, we made fun of him then, and we're gonna make fun of you now.  Get some shorts, get one of those floral skirts that go with anything, but please avoid the capri's.  

If your feelings towards capri's differ from the 2G, share your knowledge.

This marks a special occasion.  For the first time, I will not bash the lead story on my front page - well Kev, I might take a couple cheap shots.  Nice haircut.  But seriously, I would like to thank, congratulate, and wish good luck.  Thanks for making us laugh.  Congratulations on creating the longest running show on La Salle 56 since "Face to Face, Race to Race."  And good luck in for future endeavors where you will join other Communication degree holders in your quest for minimum wage.

Kevin Wildes will host the final episode of The Eriq La Salle Show on Thursday, April 27th at 7:00.  We are attempting to break the record for largest studio audience in La Salle history.  The current record stands at 12 people for the Healthy Neighborhoods episode which featured Doogie Howser, M.D.  This is a live recording, so please be at the communication center by 6:45.  The drunker, the better.  Kevin is keeping his guest's names secret, but word around camp is he's found Tupac and Kirby Puckett.  Funny, I thought they were both dead.

Elian, Elian, Elian.  What are we going to do with you?  Don't suppose you'd turn that gun on yourself so we can focus on the Sixer's playoff run?  That was mean, I'm sorry.  Maybe you don't have to shoot yourself, just stop playing on that damn swing set.  Go in the house, or go back to Cuba.  All I hear about now is Elian.  Elian this, Elian that.  What the hell kind of name is Elian anyway?  

So the latest news is The United States "will do what is necessary" to reunite Elian with his father, last year's American League RBI champ, Juan Gonzalez.  Great, more political intervention.  Elian's lawyers (tell me again why a 5 year old has lawyers) say they can't control protestors if they stand in the way.  Have you seen this?  300 Cuban women have united around Elian's house in Miami.  They call themselves "hands around Elian."  What the hell is wrong people?  Hopefully he'll turn the gun on them.  He's a little kid and he's got more people flocking to him than Jim Jones.  Soon, the time will come when he's inviting people to live in Elianstown and giving out cups of grape kool-aid.  

Let's be realistic about this.  Give him a baseball glove, send him back to Cuba, and he'll defect again in 15 years.  Problem solved.

I know what you're thinking, "2G, please don't badmouth our mayor."  Sorry folks.  Some things just have to be said.  Let us take a look at what John (I refuse to call him Mr. Street, or Mayor for that matter) has done so far as Mayor of our city.  

I have been on many flights out of Philly International and never had a problem.  My step-father works at Philly Int. and he has never told me about any problems.  My father flies more than Royboy's enemies off of roof tops.  And he has never told me of any problems.  Then John Street anoints himself on high to fire the aviation director.  How convenient.  Strike 1!

Quick religion lesson: After much suffering, Jesus appeared to his apostles over a period of 40 days and informed them of the problems concerning the Kingdom of God.  40 days, a relatively arbitrary number sharing no other historical significance.  Then John Street appears and offers his plan to rid the Kingdom of ugly ass beards (his Philadelphia) of it's problems, i.e. abandoned cars in 40 days.  Hmmm, 40 days?  Now where have I heard that number before.  Strike 2!!

And finally, since John Street's reign as messiah of Philadelphia, my roommate's cars have been broken into 3 times, my mirror has been smashed, car window broken, house graffitied, and Eric Lindros has gotten hurt.  Strike 3!!!  You're out John Street!  Let the impeachment process begin.  And in the mean time, look for my Mayoral slogan "McNichol 2003: John Street is not God."

I've noticed that my front page has become a forum, if you will, for a public verbal assault from the secondgenius.  I'm content with that.  Now for the next victim....

Gillette MACH3 Razor

 

 

 

 

 

That's right, my next victim is the Mach 3.  "Get ready for the shave of your life."  "Changing the future of shaving."  People, it's a razor!!!  I highly doubt that it's going to change the future of shaving.  And I really don't give a crap that the Mach 3 has specially positioned blades and patented DLC comfort edges.  Patented DLC comfort edges?  It's a razor!  There's no reason to patent anything on it.

Maybe I'm missing the whole point.  I don't use the Mach 3.  I would give it a try, but I'm not in the demographic that Gillette is aiming at for two reasons.  First, I don't shave naked, and second, I don't have a jet hangar in my bathroom.

If you have any special feelings for the Mach 3, the greatest invention since the touch lamp, please e-mail the 2G by clicking here.

First and foremost, I would like to say congratulations to Brian and Suzanne who were married on Saturday.  I love you guys!  Good luck with your new house and I wish you many wonderful years.  Now for the fun....

        

Shut up!  Why are you such an idiot?  I don't know who I hate more - Elian Gonzalez, Pete Rose, or the parents of Jon-Bennet Ramsey.  Probably Pete Rose because of the horrible haircut.  Pete Rose wants you to think he's a good guy.  He wants you to think he disserves to be in the hall of fame.  He wants you to feel sorry for him.  Trust me, I feel sorry for anyone who has that haircut, but I'm glad he's still banned from baseball.  For those of you who don't know, here's what happened.  Major League Baseball had evidence that Pete Rose bet on baseball.  Pete Rose said, Hey, please don't investigate that.  Unfortunately for Rose, his politeness did not work.  So he said, Hey, I got a deal for you.  I sign a lifetime ban from baseball, and you guys stop the investigation.  Since Rose is such a pain in the ass, baseball agreed to his terms.  Now 10 years later, he's saying, Hey, I've been out of the game for 10 years and they've never proven anything.  Hey, I think it's unfair (sniffle, sniffle) that I can't be back in baseball or (single tear) allowed in the hall of fame. (head down with open hand on his forehead) (looks up, two deep breaths, another single tear)  Hey, I just want to be a part of the game that I love.

Hey, Pete, kiss my butt!  You're a moron.  You're not getting back in baseball, so just stay away from the media, stop doing interviews, and keep your fat mouth shut.

View the Dowd Report. 

Send me your feelings on Pete Rose or any other ol' thing on your mind, and check out Cinema Friends.

Okay, how many people really give a crap about Elian Gonzalez?  Why the hell does the 5 year old son of a Cuban defector need a lawyer?  This is ridiculous!  

     I understand that the kid survived a deadly trip across the Gulf of Mexico and lost his mother in the process.  I feel for him, I really do.  But he doesn't know what political events are going on; and for that reason the American people shouldn't either.  Stop televising him!  Stop writing articles!  Stop taking pictures of him in a backwords Yankee's cap and Bluesclue's tee shirt.  Drop the story.  He's alive.  His dad wants him back.  His great aunt and uncle want to keep him.  They'll figure it out.  Leave us out of it!

     I'd like to thank C.W. Griffin for the picture, and look for little Elian on Letterman where he'll be joined by Method Man and Limp Bizkit.
