When Will It End?

The unemployment rate in the state of Michigan is 14.1%--and I believe the UP is higher. (I don't have the figures close by at the moment.) It is the worst in the US, which has a rate of 9.1%. And things don't seem to be getting any better anytime soon.The beginning of June it was reported that 8 of Michigan's prisons will be closed this year--five of them in the UP. That means more people will be out of work. BUT, there is a solution that has been proposed.Remember the closing of Gitmo and all of those terrorist prisoners that are being held...

Update Birth chart

Well, like a really strange, odd onion every day a new layer is revealed regarding Michael Jackson. Personally, I could have lived my whole life perfectly fine without learning that sleazy plastic surgeon Arnie Kline provided the sperm for MJ's children....

My Toilet

When I move from this house, I'm taking my toilet with me. It needs to be repaired--it has a leak from the waterless tank (?)--but it is simply the best toilet I have ever used. The Turboflush 2000 (NOT its name, but should be) would flush a small animal down if it accidentally got stuck in the water. I have NEVER seen anything so powerful in my...

Today's Moment of Zen: 6 points in 2.8 seconds

In this edition of Today's Moment of Zen, I present to you a highlight of the greatest comeback in college basketball history.We flashback to the year of 1999 during a Pac-10 regular season affair between the Oregon Ducks and the USC Trojans.The Ducks have a lead 84-79 with about 2.8 seconds left in the game. It appears that USC has no chance of winning this game. Then Adam Spanich scores six points in 2.8 seconds. The color commentator goes absolutely crazy after the shot goes in.Eat your heart out, Reggie Mill...

I guess Ian Snell is "Hung"

The one negative of sports call-in shows is the possibility that prank callers might decide to hijack the show.Well, during a Pittsburgh Pirates call-in show, an intrepid caller decided to ask the size of pitcher Ian Snell's "member."The akward silence during the video might possibly be the funniest thing that I have seen in awhile.(NSFW unless your work does not have problem with the word "penis")(Courtesy of Busted Covera...

New Lingerie

Via Miss Cellania.A husband walks into Victoria 's Secret to purchase some sheer lingerie for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500 in price, the more sheer, the higher the price .He opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500 and takes the lingerie home. He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on and model it for him.Upstairs, the wife thinks, "I have an idea. It's so sheer that it might as well be nothing. I won't put it on, do the modeling naked, return it tomorrow and keep the $500 refund...

Operation Kobe: Rehabbing the Haters

A few weeks back, I wrote that the Kobe and the Lakers could get on to writing their own story now that the first title monkey was off their back. Recently, Kobe's been getting pub for his positive memories of the other MJ, Michael Jackson. I wanted to take the opportunity to drop a little lit on y'all. See, I figure if Kobe was able to shake off...

Erin Andrews's "Road to Glory"

EA Sports current marketing ploy for NCAA Football 2010 is to bombard you with as many images of Erin Andrews as possible.You even now get to play a mode call, "Road to Glory with Erin Andrews." While, I think most of you, probably hyper-ventaliated and passed out on the floor. "Road to Glory with Erin Andrews" is a campaign mode where you build a created-player into a College Football Icon.No word yet, if Erin Andrews unlocks anything near the end of the "Road to Glory" (Courtesy of The Rooki...

"Black Guys Don't Play Hockey"

One of our favorite singer/songwriters at Outside the Boxscore is Ryan Parker. He has now even topped himself with this latest offering titled, "Black Guys Don't Play Hockey."I have feeling that most of you might jump down my throat for posting this parody song but in the end, sports and race go hand and hand.Racism is sports is always a touchy subject but in the end, it's a parody song and well it is supposed to be funny.(Courtesy of Ryan Parker Son...

Hellepäivän käärisleivoksia vanhuksille.

Vanhuksille oli töissä kahvilla tarjolla mansikkatäytteisiä kääretorttuleivoksia.

FantasyDrafthelp.com Ultimate Football Stat

NOTE: The UQB system is explained in more detail here. Suffice to say that players are measured proportionately against each other in key categories based on the standard deviation from the mean in each area. It is truly the Ultimate Quantitative Baseline of how each player performed in 2008. Kickers are not included among the top overall players because although they account for a great deal of scoring, they do not get drafted in the top few rounds overall.Here are the top 60 players overall from 2008:PlayersUQBRk Drew Brees17971 Kurt Warner16562...

US gives up on eradicating Afghanistan’s opiumSo far, eradication efforts have merely fueled the Taliban’s coffers and driven civilian farmers further outside of U.S. influence. Because of this, the United States has formed a new strategy in the fight against the crop: They are giving up.I'm sure the Taliban gets a cut, since they control much of the countryside. But I'm also sure they are not the only ones. They story estimates that "The Taliban [...] derives up to $100 million a year from the poppy harvest by taxing farmers and charging safe...

NHL TV suggestion: how to televise the playoffs

Also at HOCKEY DRAFTOLOGY 2009 and Sportsology, which is hosting live NHL Entry Draft coverage all weekend long.No, this is not another rant about the NHL being televised on a network with the national penetration, or lack thereof, of Versus. That would be another piece for another time if everything there was to say had not already been said 1,000 times — because frankly, there’s another issue related to this one that is of more concern and is potentially more easily addressed.Ever since leaving the ESPN family in 2005, the NHL has placed the...

Let me explain something to you. I used to love Shaq. This perhaps is not a big surprise considering that I'm a lifetime Lakers fan.

Of course I love or perhaps more accurately empathize...
