Mandy Moore's On Top

Since I have no idea when I'll be writing again (hopefully it's sooner than later), I couldn't let photos of Brooke Hundley be all over the top of my blog. Because of this I am ending the marathon writing session (4 posts in a few hours) with this.

Asylum.com has put together a list of the Top 100-searched for hotties on the net over the past year according to AOL's search engine. Beating out the likes of Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba and anyone who Derek Jeter has ever dated or been liked to was, in a surprising move, ChicksDig favorite Mandy Moore. Well done, Mandy, well done, indeed.

We had forgotten about how outstanding Ms. Mandy is and now may have cause to move her in into the Top 5 celebrity list (and move out Heather Graham). For those keeping score at home, the list would then look like this: Kate Beckinsale, Rachel McAdams, Elizabeth Shue, Mandy Moore, Tina Fey. Though we could totally overhaul the list and turn it into a Beckinsale-McAdams-Moore-Drew Barrymore-Alyson Hannigan list.

McLovinDigsChicks last wrote about the very lovely, multi-talented Ms. Moore back in February, when we found out that Mandy was engaged to the hideous singer Ryan Adams. Again, looks like Mandy has the same evaluation skills in the opposite sex as Steve Phillips has - Terrible, just terrible.

Steve Phillips proves again his evaluation skills suck

(Brooke Hundley/Steve Phillips photos courtesy of WEEI, in case you hadn't noticed yet).

As a married man and father, I can't condone anyone cheating on their spouse. That being said, I can certainly understand how/why infidelity can take place. Plus, I'm of the philosphy of 'if it makes you happy, then what the hell, life is short, go ahead and do what makes you happy.'

So if cheating on his spouse makes ESPN commentator (and former New York Mets GM) Steve Phillips happy, okay, so be it. Good for Steve. But my god, man if you're gonna cheat, wouldn't you want to be with someone other than Brooke Hundley.

I'm not seeing it. Cheating on your wife with Brooke is comparable to having a night out away from the wife and kids and spending it by going out to dinner at McDonald's and then going home. C'mon Steve, if you're gonna cheat, get caught and put in the effort to have an extra-marital affair you better live it up a little. You've wasted a golden opportunity here. What the hell is wrong with you.

You hooked up with the female version of Eric Mangini. Give Brooke a short haircut like ManGenius and you've got ManGina's sister. Phillips should be careful, with all this publicity surrounding Brooke Hundley, Alex Rodriguez may notice her and dump Kate Hudson to try and get a piece of her. She's his type of woman.

It appears that Steve's got the same evaluation skills of women as he did of baseball players - shitty. Look where it got him, fired from his job with the Mets and no longer working in baseball. I guess this isn't the first time Phillips cheated on his wife and was a pretty common occurance during his marriage. I wonder what the other girls look like.

Shaughnessy's Putting Crap Together Piece by Piece

That's what Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy does well and because of it he's known as the Crap Master.

Yes, I've written chapter and verse about how much Shaughnessy sucks and how in this day and age of writing about sports it's a miracle how he still has a job, but is column on Wednesday gives us more fodder to analyze, dissect and critize.

Nuggets of knowledge that Shank delivers are as follows:

Today (Wednesday) would have been the off-day at Fenway. With four games down, the Red Sox and Yankees would have worked out and prepared for tomorrow night’s Game 5.

Really, the Yankees would have had Wednesday off if they played the Red Sox instead of the Los Angeles Angels in the ALCS. Cool, oh wait, they Yankees did have Wednesday off and they weren't playing the Red Sox. That means the schedule they have is the exact same no matter which opponent they were facing. I'm glad that Dan pointed that out to us.

Speaking of what might have been, a couple of local students went to Tanzania last summer and reported several sightings of “Patriots 19-0’’ shirts and hats being worn by the locals.

Dan's once again showing how he stays current, talking about the whereabouts of the Patriots 19-0 shirts. I, along with many other sites, wrote about the fate of the shirts and there whereabouts back in February of 2008. Good job, Dan.

Phillies-Yankees World Series? The first since 1950, when the Whiz Kids were swept by the Bombers. Philly should bring back the Whiz Kid uniforms. And get ready for the Whizzinator jokes.

I have to give credit to Dan for this tidbit. Talking about the 1950 Whiz Kid Phillies is timely, because the only people who read Shank on a regular basis are old enough to have seen the Whiz Kids play in person. Though he might lose that audience with his reference to the 'Whizzinator jokes'.

Speaking of a Phils-Yanks World Series, I'll bet anything that Dan uses this line in an upcoming column

"Phils-Yanks, a matchup of a team that has won their past two World Series (Philly) against a team that has lost their last two World Series (New York)." Maybe not in this context, but there will be some kind of reference to the fact that New York has lost their last two World Series at some point.

It's coming, remember you heard it here first.

Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp and Celtic sub Shelden Williams were high school teammates in Midwest City, Okla

Dan is the King of the Connections. Along with this one he's given us these connections in the past: Roger Clemens and Renee Zellweger both grew up in Katy, Texas. That Duke's Gerald Henderson is the son of the Gerald Henderson, who played for the Celtics in the 80's.

Finally, Dan shows that he's on the side of the common man when it comes to ticket brokers and he's not going to let the big bad Red Sox and the ticket agencies push us around.

I’ll never understand why it’s OK for the Red Sox to go into business with companies that sell tickets at elevated prices. I realize this is tapping into the “secondary market,’’ but didn’t we used to call that “scalping’’? Who thought we’d live in an age when scalpers could buy air time on the club’s flagship stations?

Psst, Dan I don't know if you got the memo, but StubHub is the official ticket broker of Major League Baseball. Every team works in partnership with a ticketbroker, StubHub. Actually Dan, the Red Sox are the only ones who aren't using StubHub, as they are using AceTicket instead.

Once again Dan Shaughnessy shows why he's a must read by bringing the knowledge that only an experienced veteran of the Boston sports scene can bring.

What Lies Inside

lying here inside you
hidden deep inside

i've been here for an eternity
lying inside

you're going to be me
what's lying inside

you won't escape the path in front of you
lying inside

you can't see me, but you'll feel me, buried
lying inside

spreading Fear and Death consumes
lying inside

what lives inside you now is
becoming bigger inside

the Goodness all gone, see what you'll become
what's lying inside

Havoc and Terror will be your path
all along the outside

what lived within you is gone
see what is to come

i'm what a waits you
lying inside

Human Eclipse

I didn't think it was possible:

That the new Alice in Chains album would be as great as it is;

That the Boston Red Sox would be swept out of this year's playoffs by the team formerly known as 'Our Playoff Bitches', the Anaheim, LA Angeles. Yes, I'm still bitter.

That Tom Brady would only have 6 touchdown passes after 5 games. I'm pretty sure that during the 2007 season he probably threw 6 touchdown passes in one half of one game while the Patriots were accused of running up the score against their opponents;

and finally;

That there is someone in New York City who is actually bigger than New York Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia. Holy Jesus. Look at the above picture of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan. WTF is under that tarp he is wearing as a jacket? There's either several basketballs stuffed under there or he's the male OctoMom.

Is Ryan this fat so his offensive and defensive lineman feel better about themselves and don't go around thinking they are a bunch of fat slobs? How is he able to stay upright and not just tip over like a Weeble (weebles wobble but they won't fall down)?

Allegedly Ryan is 345 pounds, yeah okay. That's like me saying that I only like music a little bit. And how long do you think it's been since he's been able to see his manhood? Seriously, that thing hasn't seen the light of day in ages, dust off the cobwebs and let some light shine in there.

I bet Ryan has had a few (hundred) of these in his time.

A Little Pick Me Up - The Video

A Little Pick Me Up

Here in New England, the after effects of Black Sunday are still resonating (at least for me anyways).

Between the misfires of Papelbon and the Sox (could Pap have been any more hittable?), Brady (who easily choked two easy TD passes, to Moss and Welker) and the Patriots, the usual suckiness of the Boston Bruins (how's that opening season 5-game home stand working out for you now?), it appears that Boston sports fans could be in for a long winter (hopefully the Boston Celtics won't fall into this trap). The Decade of Excellence for Boston sports teams maybe coming to a close.

On a night that sure feels like the coldest so far of the fall season, I've decided to lift up our collective spirits a little bit.

Esquire magazine has recently featured British hottie Kate Beckinsale as their Sexiest Woman Alive. While all sexy and sultry, Ms. Beckinsale has that girl-next-door quality that many guys (especially me) are looking for.

I'm not a Johnny-come-lately to the Beckinsale bandwagon either, as she is at the top of my Hollywood Top 5 wish list (followed by Rachel McAdams, who has gotten mad love from the Chicks Dig McLovin site, Elizabeth Shue, Heather Graham and Tina Fey, again another Chicks Dig favorite). Kate Beckinsale is Outstanding - well, done, Esquire magazine, well done indeed.

Here's a link to her video from the Esquire photo shoot (I may also post the video in a separate post). I bet the old man from the previous post who's in the Mac Store checking out porn will be looking at Kate Beckinsale's photo shoot video once he gets off the Hot College Co-Ed's website.

And to show that this post isn't for Guys only, here's a video from the first movie that Ms. Beckinsale caught my eye, the romantic comedy, Serendipity. She stars along side one of my favorite actors John Cusack (of course he is, I'm a child from the 80's). Kate first appears at the 2:35 mark - fantastic.

Yes, Serendipity is a chick flick but it's got a great cast. In addition to Cusack and Beckinsale (love the British accent), it's got Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), before he was Ari Gold. Tom's Brady's Baby Momma and Mrs. Tom Brady wanna-be, Bridget Moynihan plays Cusack's financee. John Corbett is Beckinsale's eccentric financee, who wants to have a feast with Viking warriors while playing Midevil music with a fancy flute. All that put together with some Molly Shannon splashed in for flavor makes for a great movie.

Elderly man in front of a computer in a Suburban Mall

Yes, this blog post title is a play on words of Pearl Jam's 'Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town' song title.

I can't believe that this is my first blog post in nearly 5 months, but I've been inspired to put a little something together because I have gotten a glimpse into my future 40 years from now. I now have something to strive for - to live as old as this gentleman and do what he's doing.

Yes, it's what you think it is - this gentleman went into a crowded Apple store and is looking at Porn. Old men have huge balls (literally and figuratively). I've said it before and I'll say it again, old people don't give a shit what they do and what others around them think about what they are doing. He's probably seen a lot of crazy stuff in his life, possibly experienced combat in WWII or Korea; nevermind what this country has experienced in his lifetime, so do you think he cares what people think about him looking at Porn in a public place, of course not.

This guy was Jonesing for a naked girl fix (he probably saw some young hotties at the mall) and headed to the closest place with public computers and internet access - of course an Apple store.

At least now he's got an interesting answer to that age-old question, "So what did you do today?" "Not too much, I went down to the mall, walked around, had some Sbarro, looked at some Porn at the Apple store, got some Mrs. Fields cookies, and headed home."

My question is this: Does this situation open up new marketing opportunities for Mac in the highly-sought after demographic of 'Elderly men who like to look at Porn' computer user. It appears that Mac is beating PC early on in this race.

The Picks are In..

and the NCAA 2009 Men's Basketball tourney winner will be....

North Carolina.

Yes, I know real exciting. I'm really going out on a limb by picking the Tar Heels.

I'm known for being off the wall and crazy with my picks as I had all four Number 1 seeds (correctly so) going to the Final Four 4 last year, with North Carolina winning. Stupid Kansas Jayhawks, they're stupid.

If at first you don't succeed, then pick the Tar Heels again.

I stayed away from picking all the top seeds to reach the Final Four again this year and went with Louisville, Memphis, Pitt and NC, with Carolina beating Memphis in the finals.

Let the Madness begin.

A-Fraud is a Major Tool

I'm sure this will play well for A-Fraud in the New York Yankees clubhouse and in the New York media. Can't this guy stay out of the news for one week, even when he's hurt and not playing?

He literally just kissed (not only himself) but the chance at a World Series title away, because there is no chance that someone who kisses themselves in a mirror will ever win a championship. New York fans take heart because that means no World Series title for the Bronx Bombers for the next nine years.

By the way, who the hell kisses their own image in a mirror? What is that? A-Fraud is so stupid that he thought that this photo would play well/was a good idea - idiot. All those steroids rotted out his brain. I'm sure A-Rod is in favor of human cloning so he could have another version of himself running around to check out and make googly eyes at.

Again, just another example of money (10 years, $300 million) well spent by the Yankees. First A-Fraud, then C.C., the whale, then A.J. Burnett (who will turn out to be a newer, as-often-injured version of Carl Pavano).

It's a Rite of Spring, the Boston Bruins Still Suck

It's March, that must mean it's time for:

A spring training column about the Boston Red Sox. Nope

A NCAA tournament column. Nope.

How about the annual 'Boston Bruins Suck, They are Going to Choke in the Playoffs Again.' column?

"Bingo, we have Bingo. Ding, ding, ding, ding."

There comes a time during every Bruins season (no matter how successful) where I look up and say. "The Bruins suck, they've always sucked, and they'll continue to suck."

While the Bruins have been very good this season to a point, it never fails that they will ultimately show their true colors - that they are not that good and that fans will again be disappointed with a poor showing/knockout in the first round.

It may have taken a little longer, but we've now reached that point of this season with the Black and Gold. Over the past five weeks, they've won six times (in 18 games) and have seen their previously thought of insurmountable point lead in the East dwindle to six points. New Jersey (six points) and Washington (seven points) are creeping closer to the top spot.

If they are able to hold on to the top spot, it may not mean much as Boston would face tough first-round challenges against Florida, NY Rangers, and possibly Pittsburgh. Though, the Penguins have played better as of late, moving up three spots out of the eighth spot they were fighting for last week.

Man, I hope the Bruins play Pittsburgh in the first round because the Penguins would kill them (as they did on Sunday) and I would win my bet. It would again prove that it doesn't matter where Boston finishes in the standings because when the weather gets warmer the Bruins won't fail to disappoint.

A Large Whale Has Beached Himself in Tampa

This past December the New York Yankees gave C.C. Sabathia (pictured above) a seven-year, $161 million dollar contact to be the ace of their pitching staff. By the looks of the shape that Sabathia is in this spring training it appears that Sabathia will be the ace of the Yankees staff by default because he ate all of the other pitchers. The reason there isn't any other Yankees in the picture with C.C. is because he takes up the entire frame.

Damn, that is a large man. Are the Yankees paying Sabathia by the pound? Are there incentive clauses in the contract for Sabathia to gain weight? At $6 a pop for a Big Mac Meal in the New York City area, Sabathia can buy 2,683,333 Big Mac meals over the course of his contract. It looks like Sabathia is a few hundred thousand into the 2.68 million Big Mac's that are available to him. Someone should tell C.C. that he can spread the meals out over the lifetime of the contract, that he doesn't need to try and eat them all in as few sittings as possible.

We now know who will be dressed up as Santa Claus for the next 7 New York Yankee Christmas parties. It only cost NY and average of $24 million a year to get holiday party Santa Claus and he won't even need a fat suit. Think of the money they'll save because of it.

If Fat Boy is going to be the person counted on to lead New York's pitching staff for the next 7 years the Yankees are in trouble because there's no chance in hell that Sabathia won't break during that time. My guess is his knee's will give out under the pressure of all that weight.

The Foot of the Chicken Will Stomp All Over Your Audio Senses

Yes, I'm pimping out Chickenfoot today on the Chicks and McLovin Dig Chickenfoot blog. Below is their latest audio clip off of their website: http://www.chickenfoot.us/

Very raw, heavy sounding song. Very cool.

A-Roid Postmortem

Looking at the above photo of Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada at yesterday's A-Rod press conference (aka the Dog and Pony show for being Young, Naive and Stupid), one thing jumps in my head over and over again:

"Where would you rather be? Anywhere, anywhere but here," from the song Double Agent by Rush.

Seriously, could these four guys look any more disinterested in having to attend A-Rod's mea culpa steroid press conference.

While A-Rod was going a little overboard to show his teammates love and respect (how's an awkward 41-second pause at the beginning of the press conference.), I think I have an idea of what each of the four were responding to that love.

Mariano Rivera: "I wonder how 'Enter Sandman' is going to sound in the new Yankee Stadium with all the different acoustics. They better not fuck with the sound of my entrance music. Damn, look at the crazy logo and face on Pettitte's shirt. That kicks the crap out of the Lacoste shirt (and small alligator) that I'm wearing. I need to get a shirt like that. That would be insane."

Andy Pettitte: "Wow, it was so much easier for me last year, when I was sitting up on that stage, having to admit I took steroids. Sucker."

Derek Jeter: "When is A-Hole going to shut up? Enough already. I have a date with Minka (Kelly) this afternoon. He's cutting into our quality time. I am so gonna get me some."

Jorge Posada: "I wonder if coming to shit like this is covered in my yearly salary ($13 million a year), or can I ask for some extra overtime pay?"

By the way, what is on Pettitte's shirt? That logo is awesome. The face looks like something straight out of the Predator movies. I would buy that shirt, if I knew what it was.

Mandy Moore is Marrying an Ugly-Looking Dude

Here we have the very lovely, multi-talented Mandy Moore. She's perky, attractive, sexy, cute, is easy on the eyes to look at, and totally personifies that 'Girl Next Door Look'. The prototypical 'Someone you want to take home to Mom'. But someone whom if you want to aspire to date, you should definitely bring your 'A' game.

Here we have the still-lovely Mandy with her now fiancee, Ryan Adams. Two three letter words come to mind after looking at this photo (and it's not - hot).

Huh?, and WTF??

Are you serious - why are the hot chicks still going for ugly guys? This continues to baffle me. Do they think it will make them seem hotter?

Does this phenomenon (hot chicks with really ugly guys) happen anywhere in the world outside of actors/musicians? I don't personally know anyone who is playing as far above the rim as Adams is? Talk about way out of your league - it's the difference between playing Major League Baseball and playing Class A minor league baseball.

Why is Ryan Adams going for the Mike Mills (of REM) mid 90's look? I doubt it worked for Mike Mills back then. Adams is rockin out the 'I'm homeless, have the bad hydrogen-peroxide dye job and living out of my car look.' I am not a fan of Ryan Adam's music, but from the several 30-second snippets I just heard on iTunes, it sucks, and you're not missing much.

This is on the level of Natalie Portman and the Wilder beast that she was dating last May. Though, I gotta he honest, I think Mandy's Moore's taste in men is more egregious than Natalie Portman's. I say it'll be 2-3 years before Mandy realizes she's with a really hideous looking man and dates a guy more to her level.

First Birthday

"It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play," Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Oh God, I'm quoting Beatles lyrics, I have got to stop reading Dan Shaughnessy. I'm slowly morphing into him.

It wasn't quite 20 years ago as The Beatles said, but rather one year ago on February 11, 2008 that The Man, The Myth, The Legend of the Awkward Mornings Beat Boring Nights/Chicks Dig McLovin Blog site became reality/realized.

Now, one quick year later, after 150-plus Blog Posts and nearly 3,000 visitors to the site, I'm wishing the site a Happy Birthday.

In reflecting back on the past year of blogging, I am still amazed that people actually come to this site to check things out and read some the postings. Though, I still get a kick out of the strange, roundabout ways that people get to the site from Google.

I know I wrote about this way back in July, but in looking at some of the ways people got here lately, I thought I would share some of the highlights (I swear these are actual Google searches):

"You bet your sweet ass I hate the Red Sox." Okay, gotta be a Yankees fan, probably loves A-Roid. Also probably wrote this one, 'You bet your sweet ass I hate Boston.'

"Preteen Ballbusters", C'mon, girls bust guys balls for what seems like an eternity, is it fair for a 10-year-old girl to be going out and busting balls on a 10-year-old boy whose happiness in life consists of mostly video games, the Internet and the fact they saw some porn on Skinemax while Mom and Dad were out of the house for the night.

"Does Jon Bon Jovi drink alcohol?" This is the question that is keeping all of America and the rest of the World on the edge of their collective seats. I know I won't be able to sleep peacefully through the night until I get an answer.

"Girlfriends, who needs them?" Obviously not this person, since they are Googling about it.

"I want to fuck Maria Stephanos", which goes well with the 'Maria Stephanos Fantasy' search string that was entered to get to this site. Someone is very clear about what their goals and priorities in life are. This is a man (or woman) who knows what they want most in life. Honestly, this may have been me, I can't remember. I may have drunk Googled it. I'm not sure. If it wasn't me, I'm curious what else the search returned for results beside my site.

"Is Christopher Knight taking HGH?", Probably asked by the same person who wants to know if Jon Bon Jovi drinks alcohol. Does Peter Brady really need HGH? Is doing some HGH all it takes for a 40-something has been to hook up with a 20-something model? If so, then sign me up in a few years.

"Mike Felger is a piece of shit." Hey, that's not nice. I like Felger, a poor man's Jim Rome (Felger, that prissy boy, metrosexual, talks to a microphone. Good head of lettuce - thanks, Jim for stopping by). Plus Felger's married to 'The Wood'. You have to give him some points for that.

"MILF convention, sights, sounds, under the table," yes, all of it. There needs to be a MILF convention, preferably held under a table, with lots of sights and sounds.

"Oakland press box food." Is it in high demand? Aren't there any good restaurants in Oakland? Are people in the Bay Area making fake press passes so they can have a taste of the good life by sampling the gourmet, five-star spread that is available 91 times a year in the Oakland Press Box?

"Retirement is boring, let's fuck please," Seriously, what did people do before the creation of the internet and the birth of Google? This is the kind of stuff people want to know about?

My Hatred of 'Shank' Shaughnessy Continues to Grow

This morning I was on Boston.com and for some reason unbeknownst to me I decided to click on Shank's latest column and read what he was today trying to pass off as profound sports writing/knowledge. Afterwards, I felt like the principal in Billy Madison during the Academic Decathlon.

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. "

Though in the interest of full disclosure, I did find the Rickey Henderson story the end of the column amusing.

But let's look through the other tidbits of knowledge that Dan drops on us. Here are some of the highlights.

"Not sure when the episode aired, but count "Jeopardy!'s" Alex Trebek among the legions of Belichick bashers. Under the category of "Sore Losers" was this answer: "One second from defeat in the 2008 Super Bowl, this losing head coach threw a hissy fit & stalked off the field." The contestant correctly asked, "Who is Bill Belichick?"

Dan, that item was only on multiple websites a couple of weeks ago. Way to stay current and in touch.

"A lot of college basketball fans probably have no idea that Duke's Gerald Henderson has a dad who was a pretty good ballplayer back in the day."

Wow, this puts watching Duke basketball games in a whole new context the next time I tune in to see the Blue Devils. Watch me dazzle my friends with that nugget of knowledge. I'm ready for March Madness now.

"Renee Zellweger grew up in Katy, Texas. Wonder if she ever met Roger Clemens."

I was wondering the same thing. I won't rest until I get that answer. Though I'd be more curious to know if Clemens did meet Renee Zellweger did he treat her like Mindy McCready? Or was Zellweger too old for Roger at the time? I grew up in Billerica, Ma. I wonder if Shank will put me in one of his columns, wondering if I ever met Tom Glavine, because we grew up in the same town.

"Bad news on the doorstep: Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the day the music died, when Buddy Holly's plane crashed in an Iowa cornfield."

Again, way to stay current Dan. No wonder you're viewed as a fossil.

Nice of Shaughnessy to throw a bunch of crap together and try and pass it off as a column worth anyone's time to read it. Talk about mailing it in. Should he feel quility for cashing in a paycheck based on tidbits like, "Speaking of the Rocket, Brian McNamee goes back on the attack Monday on "The Howard Stern Show."

I find it amusing that the title the editors over at the Boston Globe gave Shank's piece was "Pieces of his mind," when you know they were dying to call it "Pieces of crap from Shank's ass."

This is why Deadspin, or Barstool Sports or SI.com's Hot Clicks or ESPN's Bill Simmons along with dozens of other sites on the web will continue to be the go to sites/people on the Web for people looking for entertaining, informative sports news.

Time to give it up Shank. Please stop. I can't take it anymore.

Back with a Bang

"Oh My!!," Thank you Dick Enberg.

"So hot, want to touch the hiney," Thank you Adam Sandler.

"Oh, yeah, Oh yeah, I would do everything to her. I don't care what she looks like. I would wreck that chick," Thank you Brian from Family Guy.

Check out our favorite saucy, MILFy, mavericky-politician Sarah Palin rockin out the signature black Maria Stephanos' 'Do-Me' boots, leaving little doubt as to why she has 5 kids.

It's good to see our Sarah back in the spotlight after a three-month hiatus (where blog posts on this site have decreased dramatically in Sarah's time away - coincidence, maybe). She certainly has come back on the scene with a bang, as if to say, 'I'm back, remember me.'

Palin's possible campaing slogans in 2012:

'A vote for Palin is a vote for My Luscious Booty.'

'Palin: Putting the sexy back into politics.'

'Distracting World Leaders One at a Time.'

PETA is bringing The Funk, The Noise, and The Sex

With Super Bowl 43 now in the books and today in full post-mortem analysis (ad nauseum) mode - the commericials sucked, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street band were okay and the game was good, but not the best of all time (and isn't close) - let's focus our attention on what would have hands down taken the moniker for 'Best Super Bowl Commerical', only if NBC had the stones to approve and play it.

From that cutting-edge organization known as PETA we have a PSA regarding the benefits of not eating meat and engaging in a diet consisting mostly of vegetables.



Pick a scene, any scene at any time and NBC found a reason to reject the ad. Let's see, the reason's were:

licking pumpkin

touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli

pumpkin from behind between legs

rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin

screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)

asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina

licking eggplant

rubbing asparagus on breast

That's all? Was it really so bad? All deemed inappropriate by NBC. Was any of the content in the commerical any more offensive than anything NBC would show in 'Lipstick Jungle'?

I have to say that I'm more freaked out by the lady on 'Medium' talking to dead people in her sleep than seeing women rubbing assorted vegetables all over themselves.

With the success of the 'Got Milk' print ads, I wonder if the people at NBC would have approved of this ad that promotes the benefits of Milk and ran in it in place of the Vegetable ad.

Get On Your Boots....

...and run as far away from the radio as you possibly can while U2's new song is playing.

Run, run and run some some until you are out of earshot of this song.

U2's first single from No Line on the Horizon (out March 3rd), Get on Your Boots was released last week, and to say that I'm a little less than enthused about it is an understatement. We waited for over four years for this - yuck. Forgive me if I say I haven't heard this before, as I have - wasn't this on the 'Pop' album that came out in 1997? It wasn't, well it should have been.

It would have fit right in. Was 'Get on Your Boots' one of the discarded 'Pop' outtakes that they've rehashed, re-recorded and are trying to pass off as a new release. If so, shame on Bono and the rest of the boys. The rest of the album can't be this bad - can it? If it is then Bono needs to go back and help third world countries get out of debt and forget about writing music for awhile. Even the first release off 'Chinese Democracy' - Chinese Democracy, was better that 'Get on Your Boots'.

One thing I'm excited about it is this. The anticipation is building for the arrival of the almighty Chickenfoot. Oh yes, it's coming. Here's a small taste http://www.chickenfoot.us/.

What a heavy intro. Hopefully, the rest of the album sounds like this.

25 Things About Me

Since some of my friends on Facebook have written "25 Things About Me" notes, I figured I'd go along with the cool crowd and do the same thing. Because I really liked my list 25 of things, I thought I would post it here as well (especially since Blog posts have been pretty light, okay non-existant as of late).

So here are 25 Things About Me.

1. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone, but I once killed a man and no one knows as I’ve kept it a secret all these years.

2. I get very honest while drinking and will truthfully answer any question, or offer up an unedited opinion of how I really feel about things after a couple of beers. So, if you want to know my uncensored thoughts about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness get a couple of Bud Light tall ones into me and be prepared to fire away with your questions.

3. I really wish I could play an instrument, piano or guitar, either one would be fine with me. I used to play (if you want to call it that) guitar and I wasn’t very good, so I stopped after about a year.

4. I read the internet, send or read e-mail way too much while driving. I’m addicted to looking at my Treo while driving. I can’t help myself. I will soon move on to playing games on my iPod touch while driving so watch out.

5. I once tried to write a novel while in college (all 180-plus pages worth) and every once in a while I’ll develop an additional couple of pages to the story in my mind. I should sit down and put it all together, but I suck at writing dialogue and multiple character development scares the shit out me.

6. I wish I could go back in time (DeLorean anyone????) and have my current self kick the living shit out of my old self at various times of my life and beat some sense into me. Man, I was stupid and did some really stupid things that to this day I am embarrassed about.

7. I learned a long time ago both on a personal and professional level never to overreact to what some perceive as a “crisis situation”. Always take a step back, take a deep breath and never let your emotions get the best you. Only then are you adequately prepared to handle the situation. I always find it funny when watching others overreact.

8. Despite what the calendar says and what my body looks like and feels, I’m really only 7 years old and will be for the rest of my life. It’s more fun to go through life with the mentality of a 7-year-old. ‘I don’t want to grow up I’m a Toys –R-Us kid.’

9. I look at my son Dylan and think of the life of endless possibilities that he has ahead of him, and I’m a little envious. Though, I look forward to imparting all of the wisdom that I have gained to help him decipher those possibilities.

10. Dylan’s name comes as a result of the coolness of Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills 90210. I always thought if I had a son, he would have a cool name and the name Dylan is pretty bad ass.

11. Some of my favorite winter things: Watching the snow fall, seeing all the lights at Christmas time.

12. Some of my favorite spring things: A cool spring rain, Taking in the scenery (and by scenery I mean hot chicks) that the businesses in and around Copley Square have to offer on the first real warm spring day of the year.

13. Some of my favorite summer things: Watching a baseball game at Fenway Park, eating/drinking at an outdoor restaurant/bar. Going to the beach after 4 p.m., as that’s the best time to go – less people and the sun’s not beating down on you.

14. Some of my favorite fall things: Driving with the convertible top down (which is pretty much a good thing from May-October), Halloween, and having Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey being played pretty much at the same time.

15. I’ve been a part of many cool things and experienced a lot of fun times in my life and I have my friends to thank for that. I am deeply indebted to all of them in that regard.

16. I like Mac’s better than PC’s. I like Pepsi better than Coke, Burger King runs circles around McDonald’s and Whole Milk rules over any of that low-fat/no-fat crap.

17. I’ve sung karaoke once in my life (which was once too many) and realized that Stairway to Heaven might not have been the best song choice. Though at the time (and many beers) it made a lot of sense. How better to make my karoke debut than being up on stage for 8 minutes, singing a classic? That’s how I rationalized my choice in my mind.

18. There’s nothing better than a good meal and a nice glass (or two) of wine to accompany it, at least I think so.

19. After two years (and 10 classes), I’m finally ready for Grad school to end. These final three classes can’t end fast enough. It’s all repetition at this point. Though it would make me really happy to see The Streak last three more classes.

20. I think that the music from the 80’s and early/mid 90’s is still the best music out there.

21. Of all the books I’ve read to Dylan in his nearly four years of life my favorite quote is from ‘One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.’ “Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Every day, from here to there, Funny things are everywhere.” I love that quote. That’s going on my tombstone.

22. I really like my current job and the people whom I now work with, which hasn’t always been the case at prior employers. It’s made going to work everyday for nearly the past three years a lot easier.

23. I go for long drives on windy back roads, which usually aren’t heavily traveled, to relax and work out any problems in my mind that I may be dealing with. I find driving (along with listening to the radio really loud) very therapeutic.

24. “I Am McLovin.”, “Chicks Dig the Long Ball” and “Awesome Mornings Beat Boring Nights” all come together in perfect harmony as a result of my Blog site : http://chicksdigthelongballl.blogspot.com/

25. I was JUST KIDDING regarding Item 1. I have a strange sense of humor. If I kid you, or give you a hard time, that means I like you. I have my Dad to thank for this trait, because he did the same thing.

I’ve enjoyed reading the 25 Things About Me lists that some of my friends on Facebook have done. I’ve found them really interesting. Hopefully, people will read my list and think the same thing. I’ve enjoyed putting my list of 25 together. And now my story is all told.

The Apocalypse is Upon Us

We'll start off 2009 (with our first post of the year), telling why for the 10,325,679th time the world as we know it will end soon.

One word will be the death of all civilized society.

Mantyhose.

WTF????? Who thinks this is a good idea? -Obviously Mack the construction worker who is so freely ready to admit that he goes around wearing Mantyhose on the construction site and has done so for the past 4 years. Is there any doubt that Mack the construction worker is a made up persona?

Reason 10,325,670 why the world will end soon is because smart people like myself can't control our laughter at stupid people, like the one in this video.

GODDAMMIT, OHHHHHH - SMACK!!!!!
