Angeloff Makes His Monthly Post

Auto Date Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Just a heads up that CarlAngeloff.net has decided to keep up with his new years resolution and has updated again. That makes twice this year.

Realizing the rumor is true, all the girls do tan topless down there.

With excerpts like that, how can you resist?

Great Song. Great Video.

I agree with other commenters on this video. I think acoustic, heartfelt rap songs should be the next big thing.

Comfort.

Auto Date Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

What do you think is the most comfortable, softest thing in the world? Even if you’ve never been in contact with it, just what you think it might be.

My answer? The fur on a panda’s belly.

Adults Doing Adult Things.

Auto Date Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Easy there. Ignore the subject. I’m talking about a dinner party I’ll be attending tonight at Dean’s house. He organized it and it should be a good time. These are the types of things I always looked forward to doing as a child. Parents would go off to the unknown and I’d be stuck at home with a babysitter.

I’ve been put in charge (read: asked casually) to provide cups. I went to Wal-Mart and actually debated on what kind to get. Plastic, paper, red, clear, blue… you never knew how many options there were until you’re actually faced with a decision. I ended up going with a specialty red that provided “extra grip support” (read: not smooth plastic and an extra 29 cents). Nothing but the best for my friends.

Paaaaaaaaaanddddddaaaaaaaa!

My mom, who works from home, spends her down time checking in on the San Diego Zoo Pandas… obviously.

Roast-worthy

Auto Date Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Just saw a commercial for a Comedy Central roast of Larry the Cable Guy. I think that’s awful. I’ve always enjoyed these Roasts, very funny. However they should be to people who deserve some type of “lifetime achievement” type recognition. Bob Saget, Hugh Hefner, Jeff Foxworthy have paid their dues. Drew Carey, Dennis Leary, Flava Flav were a bit of a stretch but still funny and still pretty long careers.

Larry the Cable Guy has had awful movies and does the same shtick over and over. He’s been popular the last several years, but he’s only famous because Jeff Foxworthy gave him a shot on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (which I don’t find funny by the way).

I’ll give it a chance, tivo it, but there’s only so many redneck jokes you can make and I think they did them all at Foxworthy’s roast already.

An amazing blog, sent to me by Carl. 98% of the stuff on here is disgusting but a few delicious posts.

Michael Jordan Nominated for HOF

Auto Date Friday, February 13th, 2009

Talk about the definition of a formality. Michael Jordan was so good at basketball that it became a phrase in itself. If you were good at something you were the “Michael Jordan” of it.

In addition to the greatest basketball player of all time, he may have been the best marketed player of all time. What other retired athlete do you know that has annual shoes, products and clothing lines still on the market? No other athlete can be synonymous with simply a symbol.

He was in movies, television shows, hosted Saturday Night Live… the list goes on. He is without a doubt the framework and era ushering beacon of the 21st century professional athlete.

I was never a huge Michael Jordan fan as a child, I was an underdog sort of guy, but you have to respect someone who changed the world as much as he did. Nobody else can ever claim that years after retiring, the sport is still looking for the “next” you. If he doesn’t get 100% of the vote, then why do they even have a Hall of Fame?

A-Rod Admits It

Auto Date Monday, February 9th, 2009

Wow, didn’t see this coming. Rodriguez decided to not take the path of others in flat out denying everything forever, but came clean and admitted that he used steroids.

I’ll be honest, I’ve not cared for Alex Rodriguez for a long time but to come out and admit wrong-doing makes me respect him more. You’ve been caught, come clean and try to move on with your life. I can’t say I’ll be rooting for him from now, but I definitely won’t be rooting against him.

My Follow-Up Question

Auto Date Sunday, February 8th, 2009

“Coach, How do you ‘leave it all on the floor every night’? If you left it all on the floor the previous game, you have nothing left to leave. Therefore, if you are saying that your team regenerates this metaphorical ‘it’ then why is it such a compliment to ‘leave it all on the floor’ since it is a renewable resource?”

Oh. My. Hot Dog.

I will be making this and digesting it someday. Someday soon.

A-Ro(i)d & Other Colors of the Rainbow

Auto Date Saturday, February 7th, 2009

WOW. Alex Rodriguez, arguably the best player in the game today, apparently tested positive for steroids back in 2003. He won the AL MVP that year as a shortstop for the Texas Rangers.

For how much horrible press Major League Baseball has gotten in the past several years, I don’t understand how they could have zero turnover in the front office. You telling me that all the blame has to be put on the players? If a team goes 0-16, who gets canned? The head coach and the general manager.  Bud Selig should absolutely step down as commissioner and bring in fresh blood.

He needs to take responsibility that all of this happened on his watch and it was his fault for not having a stronger drug testing program until all the information started to come out. I don’t know how much worse things can get for MLB. Every player from the past several years has to be questioned and now Rodriguez, who is on pace to be your all-time home run leader, will be scrutinized and jeered as much as your current one. Tough tough situation.

Super Bowl Thoughts

Auto Date Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Just a couple quick thoughts on the Super Bowl in no particular order:

- I have several witnesses that had me accurately predicting the Super Bowl an hour before kickoff as follows, “The Steelers will dominate the entire game, the Cardinals will get a late score but the Steelers will win in the final minute 27-23.”

- There were several bad calls against Arizona, there were a couple should’ve been calls against Pittsburgh. None of these decided the game one way or another. Chances are there were plays and/or penalties all season that could’ve been or shouldn’t have been called and if those changed you may not be here. You take the good with the bad.

- The holding in the endzone was absolutely the right call and rightfully called.

- If James Harrison didn’t have that personal foul penalty he would’ve been a great choice for MVP. He destroyed Arizona offensive lineman Mike Gandy all night. The stupid penalty negated a dozen good plays he had and it was right to go to Santonio Holmes in the end.

- The final play of the game should’ve been reviewed. Kurt Warner’s arm, very well, might’ve been going forward. There is still a 99% chance that the game would’ve ended the same, but it would’ve been concluded with zero doubt.

- I rooted for the Cardinals until they took a 23-20 lead with 2 and a half minutes to play, and then I rooted for Pittsburgh on their final drive. I wanted my prediction (see above) to come true. I am selfish.

- I think Arizona will be a sexy pick next year to return to the Super Bowl and they will disappoint everyone by missing the playoffs.

- A couple strange “malfunction” moments in the half-time show… Bruce Springsteen, prior to the first song, stradling his microphone stand and holding it in a “That’s What She Said” position. Also, when he slid across the stage and his crotch flew into America’s living room in 3D.

- Speaking of 3D, I’m not into it. Has any technology not been advanced more then 3D glasses in the past 50 years? Seriously. People are wearing the same paper, cheap specs they wore in Grease.

- Best commercial, McGruger Pepsi commercials. They played a ton of them last night during Saturday Night Live and only one this evening. Definitely worth looking at. Too tired to look for the link myself, probably on Hulu. No commercials were outstanding, unbelievable SUPER BOWL type commercials. All of them seemed like they could air any other time and wouldn’t think twice about them.

RNC Inspire Confidence (/sarcasm)

Auto Date Sunday, February 1st, 2009

The Repulican National Committee has elected a new chairman. Michael Steele is their first African-American chairman in its history. I suppose Obama did only have 96% of the black vote.

However, his first day on the job does seem more of the same. In a time of national struggles that need the government to be working soundly, his quote of “Bipartisanship is overrated” has to make people nervous.

Really, Democrats hold almost an unstoppable power in Washington so to say they’re going to be gnats trying to thwart action is just snivilng and unproductive. Now would be a great time for the few remaining Republicans to get in strong with the Democrats as much as they can so they can boast about it come reelection in a few years.
