Well last night sucked, goddamn Cowboys continue to bone themselves over, and now I have to sit here and cheer for the Vikings, North American Indigenous Peoples, and Chargers. It’s going to be a long day.

Quick note R.I.P. Doc Ellis; his is the greatest baseball story ever, I want Disney to get this into pre-production asap. Watch and enjoy.

For those of you who missed it Devin Harris took the Mavs behind a middle school and got them pregnant on Friday, way to go Cuban.

I for one think the Tennessee Titans will be just fine for today’s game, yeah Hansworth should be the MVP, but the rest of the D is loaded as well.

I’ll be blogging all day folks so chack back, and just for the fuck of it enjoy Cover Freak and it’s awesome Christmas Covers post.

Kings Court ten list of ten: List 3

jfalcon — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:45:42 +0000

Today’s list: Top 10 things that annoyed the fuck out of me this year.

10. Kevin’s discovery of Flight of the Conchords

Ah, when those painfully behind the times discover something that’s been around for five plus years, and decide to run with it like it’s something totally new and they’re the ones who are going to spread it like wildfire. It’s fun isn’t it? Doesn’t drive you wild in the least? Good me fucking two, you see our good friend/tech adviser/official talk box(push the button and he’ll say “Dumbass”) discovered that fantastically awesome show called Flight of the Conchords, and has repeatedly tossed around lines from “Buisness Time” for the last few months, and just in case you have no idea what I’m talking about here it is. Now watch and repeat for the next four months.

9. Slutty Deschanel

This is Zooey Deschanel. This is Katy Perry. See my issue?

8. Indiana Jones and The Raping of my Fucking Childhood

Excuse me as i type in all caps…YOU MOTHERFUCKERS TOOK ONE OF THE MOST CHERISHED FUCKING THINGS IN THE WORLD AND FUCKING PUT SHIA LEBOUF IN IT?! WHAT THE FUCK WHERE YOU THINKING? “KNOWLEDGE WAS THEIR TREASURE” WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN! GODDAMN YOU ALL TO HELL.

7. I’m Chuck Bass

Look kids a catchphrase.

6. The none stop use of Linkin Park in the podcast

You’ve heard the podcast, you’ve noticed Kevin’s use of watered down rap rock that features vocals that come off like a hamster ruining through a rusty wheel, and lyrics penned by someone that seems to have been really pissed off that his parents made hm go to state school. Yeah, so have I thanks Kevin.

5. The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon

Let’s see Conan O’Brien is stepping up to the big show and taking over Leno’s spot, so NBC in a brilliant move (one of many this year) decided to go ahead and put professional crack up Jimmy Fallon in the AAA spot. Brilliant, because those movies he did we’re a huge hit, and no one hates him at all. Hell if Family Guy does a successful joke at your expense you’ve hit a low rung on the ladder, although things seem to be looking up for those of us with hate, it seems NBC is neutering him by undercutting his slot with our number 4.

4. Just not enough Leno in our lives

Headlines, we’re in for headlines, five nights a fucking week at 9 p.m. NBC decided that the elderly needed their Leno fix, and instead of letting Conan have a clean transition to the tonight show, they decided to put Leno on at 9 p.m. Guarenteing us even more vapid celebrities lame jokes, and random Coldplay performances. Fuck you NBC.

3. Will.i.am

1) He turned a historical campaign into a get all you rich friends together party, 2) He does it again, 3) He wrangles his way into the Wolverine movie, and 4) He becomes a hologram. That’ll do William, that’ll do.

2. The Sean Avery brouhaha

Ah, Hockey the one sport so white that you can’t even make a sloppy seconds joke with out garnering a suspension. Really are we in the 5th grade? A professional team is willing to get rid of a major free agent because of a joke? In FUCKING DALLAS the home of the “White House”? Really, the guy is in anger management now? Fuck this is why Hockey doesn’t actually exist.

1. Twilight

We have been over this before.
