Random Thoughts, Sights, Sounds - A Potpourri of Knowledge

Today's Randomness will start off with a question. I saw this picture on the web last night and wondered: "Who the Hell is this (and yes, she's someone very famous)?"

My skills of deduction must have drowned in all the rain we've had the last week because I had no idea who it was and still don't believe that the person above is the same person as below.

That's right, both pics are of Katie Holmes, which is impossible. There's no way pic #1 is the same person as pic #2. Tom Cruise's Scientology Aliens must have kidnapped the carefree, happy Katie and replaced her with the lifeless, unemotional robot in pic 1.

Hey look, Jim Rome is making a guest appearance on the Chicks Dig Blog, "What is going on with the lettuce on top of the Dawson Creek girls dome? Katie Holmes - stop using your Flowbee for that mop and get a real cut. What a Freak. The king of the Scientologists, mister couch jumper himself, Tom Cruise has brain washed and stolen our sweet little Katie and replaced her with someone from outerspace. Hey Maverick, get in your jet, do an inverted 180, fly into space and bring back the real Katie."

Thanks Jim.

Moving along, this story marks the end of civilization as we know it (at least for Men anyways). This is wrong on soooo many levels. A guy breaks off an engagement before he gets married and has to pay $150K in damages to his fiancee. WTF?? "He never intended to marry her" Really, then why the hell did he buy a ring?

So now, not only do men get screwed over in divorce (my dad, my brothers and I know all about that) they get screwed over before they get married. Why bother getting married/engaged at all. I tell my son this all the time, "Date a lot of women, not just one woman, but a lot of women". I think it's the most ridiculous thing in the world to have to pay someone not to be married to you. That's legal, but it's illegal to pay for sex. That makes a lot of sense.

This poor bastard has to be saying to himself, I paid $150K to be with that old bag. Yeah, that was worth it. Only former New York governor Elliot Spitzer could spend a $150K on women and think it's worth it.

Here's a tip for all the guys out there who want to screw over their women (let's take back control of relationships). When you're ready to break up with them, take them to the most expensive restaurant you know. Order the most expensive meals on the menu, order a couple of bottles of expensive wine - spare no expense. When you're about to get dessert, excuse yourself from the table, tell your lady friend you're going to the bathroom. Head straight for the exit and never look back. That will teach them to fuck with us.

And finally, football is back with the Patriots starting training camp. There's a lot of questions surrounding a team that won 18 straight games last year.

Is the offensive line really as bad as they showed in the Super Bowl?

Are the linebackers too old and is there enough depth there?

What's the status of the secondary with Asante Samuel in Philly?

Which Lawrence Maroney will show up for the season - the strong runner we saw over the final two months of last season, or the unproductive player that was in the backfield for most of the season?

How big of a factor will the loss of Donte Stallworth be (I think it will be bigger than people think)?

If it's nearly impossible for Tom Brady and Randy Moss to replicate the record-setting seasons they had last year, what will they put up for numbers this year.

Have a great weekend.
