Movie Thursday
Release Date: Friday
Fan Buzz: Pretty Good
Critic Reviews: Terrible
WKFTB Opinion: Alright, alright….a little Matthew McConaughey. How could critics hate on my boy?? McConaughey is as handsome as he is cocky, and maybe that’s why there are some haters. Ha, seriously though, this looks decent enough. I like these ones for date movies, ‘cause you can pull it off as a chick flick although you know there will be some dece dude laughs and def some sexy chicks and maybe a lil skin if you’re lucky. Ever see How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? Firrrre.
Next Day Air
Release Date: May 8
Fan Buzz: Carless? http://www.fandango.com/nextdayair_119100/readuserreviews
Critic Reviews: Not screened yet
WKFTB Opinion: Donald Faison (Scrubs) is the man. Very funny ever since Clueless. I’m a fan. I also like Avon from The Wire, Mike Epps and Mos Def. This probably isn’t one you spend 10 bucks on, but def would rent it. This would have been a nice winter release when not much else is out there. I bet there’s a few laughs in this. Plus the story is kind of cool.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Release Date: May 22
Fan Buzz: Pumped
Critic Reviews: Too early
WKFTB Opinion: Like it or not, the first one drew $251 million at the box office!!! Seriously, I’m not making that number up. I didn’t get it when I first saw a preview. Was it a kids’ movie? A comedy with some thrills? Some sort of fluff, I assumed. It looked mega chooch, but maybe I’ll have to rent it now that they bothered to make a sequel. Looks like some cool cameos from Jonas Hill and what looks to be Robin Williams. Negative chance of seeing it in the theatres with all the ill ish that is scheduled to come out, but maybe a double rent is in order at some point.
Bruno
Release Date: July 10
Fan Buzz: You know they love it.
Critic Reviews: Too early
WKFTB Opinion: Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again. Before it was Borat, which like it or not grossed $123 million on a very small budget. This time Cohen is playing Bruno, the gay Australian, and another character from Da Ali G Show. People didn’t think he could dupe people again. Well, look at the trailer…he has. They are guarding this movie like gold. This is the only trailer out for it. Right now it’s been slapped with an NC-17 rating, so they’re trying to get it down to R by the summer. Either way, this is going to be unreal. Enjoy the trailer.
Pop Culture:
-24 will be set next season (its final one) in New York for the first time. The gameshow hot from Slumdog Millionaire will be the main terrorist adversary and CTU will be brought back as the headquarters of it all.
-Asher Roth and Rick Ross came out last week. Most of what I’ve heard of Asher’s CD is surprisingly fire.
-The Wrestler, Notorious and Frost/Nixon all came out last week. I can’t speak for the last one, but the first two are must-rent in my mind, even Notorious – trust me, it’s better than you think, Gravy is BIG.

Broadening my Horizons...and how sexy are girls that can sing
Anyway...me and Nicky went to what we believed was a Fallout Boy and 50 cent concert last night. Fallout Boy was ill...I know you didn't know that I liked Fallout Boy...I know what a chooch I am...anyways. We showed up at around start time, a little after maybe after being a little blunted and walking around in Mike Lowell and got into what looked to be a high school dance party. Young girls running around screaming, chooch guys wearing popped collared AE..luckily I was with Nick who fit right in....
About half way into the concert (we were well blacked out by then) people our age finally started showing up but up to that point every parent was looking at us like Grade A sex offenders. Sweet dude...didn't know Fallout Boy fans were 16 and under. One HUGGGEEE plus was the fact that there was basically no wait for beer, which was incredible.
Ignore the rambling...my MAIN point in this post is to tell you that the first band that played...that ive never heard of was called HEY MONDAY. The last song they played was this...with the lead singing chick up there all by herself.
And I fell in love with her and her voice. Chicks that can sing are sexxxy as helllll man....I would do just about any chick with a good voice like this. That red headed chick from Paramore...YUPPPP...Amy Lee or whatever her name is from Evenescense...YUPPPPP...that weird old chick from the Britain version of American Idol...NAHHHHHHH BRAAAAAAAA.
I'm strung out on energy drinks....sorry if this post made no sense.

Best of Murray Hewitt
Gonna post a movie/entertainment post tonight, but for now I'll leave you with this. PS: Nice job Wolfie and Kate on the posts below. Way to pick up the slack for ne and Jakey. We were a lil too F'd up yest...
People Amaze me.
Superheros are Real, they really are. I think being homeless is a prerequisite for this band of crimefighters. Maybe our ninja from last week is only a smaller part of a larger, more honorable cause.
Also, here's the link to the Superhero Registry. I cannot believe it exists.
This Indian kid is mildly entertaining. I would recommend watching this in its entirety if you have time to kill. He has funny little anecdotes and sounds like the host of the Indian "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".
Wolfie's Featured Pic- GDL Marker Makeup Wakeup
Sort of like a picture of the day type of deal, this is todays featured picture. I think Retta gave me the idea to incorporate some pictures so people know who Im talking about when I throw names of my friends out in posts. So Im going to try to give you some old classic pics of my crew here and there so you can put names with faces
This particular picture is my good buddy Gordon Dudley Lawson III, sometimes known as GDL3. Gordie is the official commenter of the month for April. We appreciate it Gordman. Keep up the good work.
The story behind the picture is kind of cool. The man had a few drinks and passes out on the couch in my old apartment so I toss Sev a sharpie and have him give Gordie a nice marker goatee. We were trying to convince him to grow one earlier in the night but he said it wouldn't look right on him. We had to prove him wrong.
So Sev paints him up and we are laughing a little bit right. I go get my camera to remember this thing and I get up close and press the button. As I press the button, his eyes shoot open right before the flash, rlol. It was like seeing a dead body open its eyes at a wake, scared the crap out of me. It doesn't help that he has two different colored eyes too. Hes dead asleep in that picture, haha.
Stay tuned for more pics.
Oh yea, Gordie sent me this video the other day of Reggie Watts. Hes an absolute creature musician. You might get a kick out of the vid. He was on Fallon the other night performing.
If you guys find youtubes that are funny or interesting, ship em my way and if I post it I'll give you credit. Dont be shy.

Eclectic Rundown
"These masks are stupid. I feel just Swine babe"
Didn't get a post up yesterday or earlier today, my bad. So I wanted to check in before I hit the sheets.
Dan Brown
I started Angels & Demons today at the recommendation of a couple blogfathers. I loved the Da Vinci Code book but was disappointed with the movie. When you start reading a couple books you realize that is pretty common. Its too hard to add depth and layers to the story in a movie that runs only a couple of hours. So I wanted to bang out A&D before I saw the movie. So far so good. Pick it up if you liked Da Vinci Code or secret stuff like the Illuminati.
Shows
Ive been catching up on Rescue Me. I was a Dennis Leary hater for a while because my mom met him years ago at a celeb golf tourney and said he was an asshole to her, but I understand now that is sort of his Modus Operandi. Plus I didn't want to miss out on a real good show. Im up to season 4 now and have to say that it is pretty damn good. Not Lost, Sopranos, or The Wire good, but hey what is?
Another good show is Deadliest Warriors on Spike TV. The concept is simple, they hypothetically match up the best warriors of all time and see who would win in a fight. Apache Indians vs Roman Gladiators? Hellz Yea I wanna know who wins. It might not be very interesting to females, but it is a scientific fact that men are less evolved in their thought process. Our instincts are pretty much stuck in 10,000 BC, so our underlying thoughts are always going to gravitate towards reproduction and fighting. Shows like this are the things guys have been thinking about and debating since they were 6 years old. I remember discussing animal fights, like who wins tiger vs lion, as a kid with my cousin for probably a combined 3000 hours.
Swine Flu
How about the Swine Flu huh? People are panicking and its somewhat comical. The public always gets a twisted enjoyment from impending doom. I wasn't really sweating it, even when I didn't know much about it. Then today I find out that if you aren't elderly, your immune system should fight it off like the standard influenza virus (the flu). Then you also have to keep it in perspective and realize 30 to 40k people die every year from the reg flu. So why are people freaking out? (I know ppl who are buying stock in swine flu shots). My theory is that people get worked up simply over the name and the hype.
If you are giving me the choice between Swine and Standard influenza, Im taking the standard one every time, and so are you. It doesn't matter if the symptons are the same, noone wants a flu that came from pigs (an inherently dirty animal). Pigs are gross, but throw any animal in front of the word flu and it sounds like some terrifying mutated killer virus. Its also about familiarity. Ive had the regular one so I know what Im getting into, ya know? You wouldn't take the Swine Pox over the Chicken Pox even if the Swine Pox were less itchy.
Speaking of diseases and viruses, its almost underrated how insane the black plague was. You are telling me some thing called The Black Death wiped out anywhere from 30-60% of Europe's population in the 1300's. Jesus Christ mang. 75 million people worldwide (only 450m ppl on earth then). Thats a little too close to human extinction for comfort in my opinion. It was so nasty too with the black necrosis and the lymph nodes swelling up, painful way to go.
Slurs and Youtube Comments
OK you guys have heard me talk about how the comments at the bottom of the videos are the most vulgar hate filled words on earth. Its all N words, C words, and four lettered words. The spelling is atrocious on the slurs too, a lot s replaced with z and stuff. Its the at the bottom of the depths of humanity for whatever reason. I guess you give a normal to miserable person some anonymity and they purge the hate from their body with their keyboards (see equation above).
Recently I was pointed towards a new humorous aspect to the youtube comments. Yaka pointed it out to me the other night. Its freestyle raps being typed to the youtube videos of rap instrumentals. Its pretty incredible. They have full rap battles between people with IQ's that do not come close to triple digits. I searched for them tonight and was laughing at this line I found.
crusin down tha street tryin to sell my stash
cops in tha back now they hunting fer my cash
but aint nobody, especially no cop
is coming fer my money, or my wiggy wiggy crops
Now that is golden right there. Your wiggy wiggy crops bro? Rlol get outta here.
Addressing the extremely offensive slurs, I don't really say the C or N word anymore because they both are just ridiculous and are only going to get you into trouble. Its more of a cost/benefit thing rather than a me being a pussy issue. I guess I would drop a C on someone if they really forced my hand but it would be very rare. I haven't called a girl one in a long time and the last time I did I caught a slap haymaker. A nice reference or alternate for the C word is something Kate reminded me of the other day, the old C U Next Tuesday trick. If a girl is really being one, you can just drop a see you next tuesday on her, If You Seek Amy style. Its pretty solid because they either don't know and you can smirk, or they do know and are deservedly offended, but probably not enough to slap you.
Stereotypes
I wanted to say something about stereotypes. They are dangerous and unfair because not all people of an ethnicity, sex, or preference fit into them. I used to say that they are one hundred percent BS and I was adamantly opposed to them. Now maybe Im regressing socially, or maybe I am just becoming more of a realist, but I am willing to admit they have some basis in truth. Know how I can prove it? Try starting your own fake stereotype and watch what happens. Start telling people "hey guys, know what, its pretty weird how black guys have small johnsons", and you will notice two things. First, whoever you say that to will think you are gay or dumb, and secondly you will notice that your attempt at creating a sterotype will fail because it has no basis in truth. It wont stick and will fade out.
I am trying to be funny here but since this is a touchy subject and we have "white kids" in the title of our blog I need to tread lightly and make sure people don't get the wrong idea . As a disclaimer to that theory I should mention that false stereotypes can stick in extreme cases where trusted officials lie and repeatedly manipulate people in cases of genocidal maniacs like Hitler. But even then, when Hitler was trying to convince everyone that the Arian race was superior, he eventually looked stupid and the stereotype was debunked when the Berlin Olympics came around and Jesse Owens destroyed the Germans and raised a black gloved fist in the air, right in Adolf's eye.
These opinions do not necessarily reflect the views of other WKFTB authors and supporters.

BREAKING NEWS...Music Monday has been PPD
Honestly college Spring Day/Weekend is the biggest shit show known to man. Nice weather and the thought of everyone that you know drinking on the same day can make people do some weird/awesome things. I was just glad I was there to take it all in....
Also a couple of dudes that I don't even know came up to me and said they read the blog so I wanna give a shout out to them. Hopefully you keep reading, and I'm just thankful that you weren't a bunch of Bentley Pop Collared Bro's because if you were I would have to call you out.
Alright I gotta go check my fantasy scores in class....in two weeks time I will have a masters degree, and I'm going to make everyone in the world address me as "Master Perk"

I Might be a Spacecadet
What I’m saying here is there’s no point in not cheating when you play online because there is a 98% chance your opponent is already skeezing the web for a 7-letter word that has 5 vowels in it. Even now when I might play in real-life there is no honor in winning because I’m using all the disgraceful tactics I’ve learned from all my Scrabble infidelities to bang out a 250-point game easily. I’m like the worst nerd there is. Next...
Will Farrell's Influence & Jacoby the Jet
The second Farrell-related thing was the best. Carl Edwards suffered a crazy crash while fighting to keep his lead on the last lap at Talladega, flipped his car, then got out and ran on foot to the finish line. Re-read that sentence. He did the real life Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights. Clip is right here:
Finally, we'll leave you with this little nugget. I thought the officiating was a little one-sided in yesterday's Celtics game. I just had no idea how much. From the Herald:
"At least one member of the Celtics entourage was taken aback at the sight of the officiating crew exiting the United Center. Two of the three members of the group, which consisted of Danny Crawford, Bill Kennedy and Marc Davis, were spotted with their families decked out in Bulls gear.
Kennedy ejected Celtics coach Doc Rivers from a game in Chicago on March 17, and two days later was fined (as was Rivers) for his actions."

Weekend Floggin
Thinking people like me made the best of both worlds and set up a TV on the outside deck. Yea, it was like 19 inches, but whatevs.
Couple things from the weekend:
OK, I know this is old, but I noticed we never covered it on our site and their may be some people who missed it. Susan Boyle. The Scottish women who swept the world 2 weeks ago with her stunning performance on Britain's Got Talent. The embedding on the video is disable on all of them for some reason, But pleaaaasssseee click the link and watch if you haven't seen. Thing is an unreal critter and it will blow you away. The voice comes out of nowhere.
Stephen A Smith will be gone from ESPN after the NBA playoffs. The Worldwide Leader isn't reknewing his contract.
Watched a little of the Rangers-Caps game yesterday. Caps killed NY to even the amazing series at 3 apiece. The Bruins could play the Rangers if they end up winning, but if Washington wins Boston would play Pitt. I was nervouse of the Rangers after they were up 3-1, but now that Henrik Lundquist has gotten shelled, not so much. Interesting note is that Rangers' coach John Tortorella was forced to watch the game from a high up box after getting into it with some Caps fans the game before. I guess he was doused with beer, but he also squired water at fans and tried to spear them with a stick:
Ovechken on the whole thing: "Good job by our fans. Our fans are one more player for us. They do what they have to do for us." Guy's ill.
This made me LOL:

Draft Day 2 Update... Hobbs Traded
The Patriots did make a couple picks and I'll get to them in a second. I just heard they traded Hobbs for two 5th round picks. This is something that you can understand when you remember it is a contract year and his play was pretty bad last season. It also saves 2.2m on the cap this year. Like I said yesterday too, there is a lot of CB depth right now. I love Butler and think he probably plays nickel right out of the gate.
Pick 83 Brandon Tate/WR UNC - This pick is another smart one by BB. Tate is an explosive return man who was having a good year at WR before blowing out his knee in October. So what you probably see happen is the Pats start Tate on PUP (physically unable to perform) list and save a roster spot. You either see him late in the year or they IR him and you have a high ceiling guy for 2010 to replace Galloway. This kid is nasty if hes healthy. A first round talent but he slipped because of the knee and because he tested positive for pot at the combine.
Pick 97 Tyrone McKenzie/LB USF - A very athletic linebacker that will play inside LB in the Patriots 3-4 defense. I like this pick too. Check out the video. This kid looks like Mayo a little bit in terms of build. I know it sounds like I like every pick this year but thats because I think I understand almost all of them, including the trades. Belichick knows what hes doing and hes better at this than pretty much everyone else in the world.
Pick 123 Richard Ohrnberger/OG Penn St- "Ohrnberger is a mauler who plays with an aggressive attitude and works very hard to finish his blocks. However, he's limited athletically..." Sounds like a beast and who needs extra athletic guards? Pats use bulldozers.
Pick 170 George Bussey/OT Louisville- Starting to get a little boring now. Bussey seems like a marginal player but obviously they like him. Expect him to be on the practice squad.
And oh yea, I just heard that Brady in the strength tests tested higher in everything than he has in any other year. Thats 5.5 months after surgery too, dece. Pats are gonna roll teams again, cant wait.

Pats Draft - Day 1
OK so rounds 1 and 2 just finished up and the draft will continue tomorrow. Just a quick rundown on the guys they picked up so far. BB said picks 20-40 grade out similar so ideally they would trade down and thats what they did. The pay scale for the draft picks drops rapidly after the top of the first round so its a huge advantage to pick like NE did today.
The lesson you need to learn as a pats fan is that BB knows more than you. He will frustrate your life and never choose who you want but you just need to trust that evil genius. Hes operating on a different level than the rest of us.
Note, top 5 picks are so risky and can bury your cap if they don't work out. Top 5 picks get paid as the highest or near the highest paid players at their position without ever playing a game. Its a broken logic and is why you see the same trash teams picking that high every year. Its also why its so rare to see teams trade up to those spots anymore.
Pick 34 Patrick Chung/S Oregon - I didn't really even know this kid to be honest so I got on the horn and did some research. Hes a little bit of a tweener in terms of FS/SS but you can also call a tweener a hybrid. Hes really athletic, can add some bulk, likes to hit, good in coverage, and is a playmaker. Hes also supposedly a coach on the field, a leader in the locker room, and wont mind playing special teams at all. Sounds like a good fit. I love getting younger and more athletic on defense. Oh yea, this kid is sort of unique. He grew up in Jamaica playing soccer and didn't start football until HS. Also started college at 16 and started all four years.
Pick 40 Ron Brace/DT Boston College - The other half of the DT tandem that led the NCAA in rush defense. BJ Raji got the attention and went top 10 but Brace is a monster as well. At first I didn't like this pick because our DL is a strength but then I remembered we did see a lot of Mike Wright last year situationally so picking up a big anchor in Brace cant hurt. He can play nose in a 3-4 or a DT in a 4-3. Hes quick for his size, which is 6'3 340. If Brace works out, it also gives the team leverage and a backup plan with re-signing Wilfork.
Pick 41 Darius Butler/CB UConn - I have a soft spot for CBs so I loved this pick. Butler is sick. Kid played WR and returned kicks this year too. He can play man or zone which is a huge asset. Butler is an explosive athlete. Only 5'10 but has a 40 inch vert and great burst, especially out of his backpedal. Will be the best athlete in our secondary right away. I think this is a kid who should have gone 20 picks earlier. Cousin of Willis McGahee. Check out the vid of him with a basketball.
Also think about the pats CB's now. Hobbs better bring his A game to camp because Bodden, Springs, Butler, Wheatley, Wilhite are all trying to get on the field. I see probably Bodden and Hobbs starting with Springs and Butler as the nickel and dime but who knows.
Pick 58 Sebastian Vollmer/OT Houston - Some monster OT I didn't know. I guess hes from Germany and is a project but is 6'8 with good tools. Supposedly improved very fast with good coaching at the predraft Shrine game.
4 more picks scheduled for 10am tomorrow so stay tuned. Expect them to trade out of 1 or 2 but still should be interesting. So far the theme is getting younger and more athletic on defense with experienced, smart, and athletic players.

Slim Shady
Anyway, Aftermath already took down all the YouTubes and Limelx links so I can't emebed it. But you can still listen to it right here. Enjoy.
And throw up what you think as a comment. The last time we did this we got some good feedback, most likely because like it or not, Eminem is pretty much the biggest artist of our generation.
Also, on Aftermath's website, you can enter to win a trip to Eminem's release party in Detroit. ("Fuck that. I'm done with rap, I'm sorry/But Eminem this is your record release party!").
One more Em tidbit. He was on his station, Shade45, yesterday morning and had a few things to regarding his CD and the single "We Made You."
I'll quote the Detroit Free Press:
"In the interview, Em says “Relapse” is produced exclusively by Dr. Dre (except Em coproduced the lead single “We Made You” with him and did one other track himself), “Relapse 2” will be out at the end of the year as rumored, and the state of rap is getting back to a good place again, 'Because I’m back.'"
Wish he said the kid was back. And this on the single:
"And for fans who aren’t feeling the new single “We Made You,” Eminem says the rest of “Relapse” will have a different feel than the celebrity-mocking chart-blazer."
Oh, you're probably thinking, "Why do they call 'We Made You' a chart-blazer? Well, because it opened at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart -- the HIGHEST any of his songs has ever debuted. 'Splain that. Tons of hype for this CD.
He also did confirm that Relapse 2 will indeed come out this fall. Wow.
Listen to audio portions of Em's interview here.
(Sorry this post was a bit rushed and sloppy. Just wanted to get something up before the end of the day. Also, shout out to my man Flum for most of the Em stuff. Kid's XXL and I'm not just talking about his weight gain. Woo.)

(1) Best website I aspire to be on. Just funny/random/ridic text messages people send. Chris Hall sent this to me, so here is the credit...even though he called me gothic last week, I couldn't be less gothic. Anyway, this site has some of the best one-liners I've ever heard in my lifetime.
(2) This is an Ode to the BBQ burger that I had for lunch and the 6-mile run it is going to take to burn it off. Apparently this was already on barstool, so I apologize for the redundancy...i don't read it, but I guess I should have known. balls.
(3) What Up Little Kid? Idk if it's school vacation everywhere, but it is in Boston and I've seen more little kids this week than I would have liked to. It was also bring your little gremlin to work day yesterday and I got so scared when I saw them, cuz I wasn't expecting it. Anyway, so this made me laugh and think of all the things I have wanted to say to little kids when they stare at me on the T. It get's a little raunch towards the end, but I figured you would forgive me.
Happy Friday.

Friday Ramblingggggg
I think the video right below here clearly indicates why the Suns aren't in the playoffs.....good shit though fellas. Once again...how ill is Shaq?
Here is the Madden 2010 cover:
I'm a fan of it. Then again who really cares about what the outside looks like, we all know we will be spending 100+ hours of our lives playing that thing even if they put Elton John on the cover.
As most of you know the NFL draft starts tomorrow at 4pm (I'm hating the time change) and while people argue over the top picks in the draft I think it is only right that we here on WKFTB argue who has the hottest girlfriend. So click HERE to take a look at the top 5 hottest GFs of NFL prospects. If you care to know I'm taking Sanchez's chick...although it is very close with Knowshown.
Enjoy your Friday everyone.....

The Return of a Savior?
For Celtics’ fans, the return of a legend is upon us. A big man. A center or power forward. A man who, so amassed with talent, was starting every game at one point during the season.
He can shoot. He can defend. He makes the Celtics better.
Yes, I’m talking about Brian Scalabrine.
The Big Redhead is set to return from post-concussion syndrome for tonight’s game at the United Center, and it couldn’t have come soon enough.
Seriously, the Celtics need Scales. With KG resigned to making Don't Be a Menace faces on the bench and Leon Powe now done for the year, the Cs are desperately short on big men. Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis and Mikki Moore were all that were available to coach Doc Rivers in Game 2 in Boston.
Scalabrine, despite not playing since February, will actually step right into the rotation. In fact, after a few games – if the Celtics are still in it – he’ll probably start.
What Scales brings to the table is two things:
1) He stretches the floor offensively, with Chicago forced to cover a 4 or 5 who can bust a 3-ball. This obviously opens things up for slashers like Pierce and Allen.
2) He helps the club defensively by being able to guard the Thomases, Tim and Tyrus, either on the perimeter or down low. He’s also a smart player, a guy who won’t get lost in the defensive rotation (hello, Mikki Moore).
Yes, I know this was a bit-tongue-in-cheek and hyperbolic, but I am legit happy to be getting Scales back. Like it or not, we need this man.
Go Celts.

Thursday Steal (not really..)
Boston Red Sox St. Patrick's Therma Base Premier Jacket - $89.99
These new Therma Base dugout jackets that the Sox have are so fire...I've been looking for one on sale for the last year or so. I think the best I found was like $60 around Xmas and I didn't pull the trigger. So learn from my mistakes everyone, because I'm pretty sure these things retail for $120 and I don't see that price coming down anytime this season...

Quote The Raven, "CAWWW!"
This blog is about an idea I heard Adam Carolla talking about the other day on his podcast. I thought it was funny and awesome so I wanted to recap it on here and give my opinion but I have to give him the credit.
The idea is to harness mother nature's ferocity and genius, use crows as a security system. Now bear with me, I will explain. Crows are an extremely bad ass bird. You could call a crow Barack Obama on Air Force One because each one is a black genius in the sky. These birds will literally take walnuts that they can't open and drop them on busy streets in the city and wait for cars to run them over, then wait at a crosswalk with pedestrians until its safe, and go snatch the nut. They are also one of the only birds on the planet that can mirror a human voice like a parrot. So the idea here is they are smart enough to train. Then you have to take into consideration how terrifying the CAWWW! is that they make, pure intimidation. Now so far we are only thinking of this as a single crow, but what I'm talking about is having your own fleet of attack crows. Are you wondering what a flock of crows are called? Get ready for this one. They aren't called a flock, they are referred to as a "murder" of crows. Bad. Ass.
Now I don't know if Carolla was aware of this or it influenced his idea, but part of the intimidation factor of having your own murder of attack crows to protect you or your land, is the mythological and folkloric connections people make when they see a crow or hear its banshee-like death scream. Crows are symbolically a harbinger of death and doom. They appear in many old poems and stories that way. Also associated with circling a battlefield and picking at or eating the dead. The Hitchcock horror film The Birds is famously about flocks of crows attacking and murdering townspeople. So you know these things are going to scare people. Birds are no pushovers, especially when they have numbers on their side. Its not like you are getting attacked by butterflies here.
So imagine if hundreds, maybe thousands, of crows were trained to protect you or your land. No intruder is coming near your property. Picture getting attacked by them. There is nothing you can do besides run and flail your arms while your skull is getting pecked off. You put a crow against Mike Tyson and he will probably grab it and bite its head off. But you put Mike Tyson against 100 crows and he is fucked. He would be stuck in a thunderstorm of bird cries and wingflaps until he succumbed and was eaten. I really think this idea is incredible and if I ever have the resources and a large estate, you better believe I am making it happen
And I will leave you with this small badass supplement to attack crows. In my research I learned that medieval knights had three things that were inherently loyal to them. Their hawk, their hound, and their true love. Now that is the life. Give me some armor and those three things and I promise I die happy. Your dog by your side, your falcon to scout for danger, and the mrs at home making a stew for when you return. Too ill.

A Tribute to....Elisha Cuthbert
I will say that Elisha has definately lost her fast ball a bit it seems....and for that reason I am choosing to put up some pics of her back in her day...her '99 Pedro at the All-Star game days. I'm talking about the time when I stored all of her scenes from the movie "The Girl Next Door" in my mind for when I was having sex with unnattractive girls at college (sorry girls, it's true).
The point is Elisha, I miss you...a lot. And I know that you miss me too. So lets quit this whole charade with you dating various NHL players and just come back to the kid...I'm waiting.
In case you didn't know she used to date Sean Avery and was probably the driving force behind this little video...

Breaking News: Ninja Unrest in Weymouth, MA
No, but seriously, they reported (via AP) a man in his 20s clad in what can only be described as Ninja-gear (not clothing, not attire….Gear) with sword in sheath (naturally, as to not dull the samurai’s razor-sharp edges) in a Tedeschi’s in the town of Weymouth, familiar? The clerk uneasy with the stealthy presence called the authorities. This is where I rlol’d. The goon asks the clerk if he is making the call about him. What, guy? You have a sword in a sheath attached to your hip…this isn’t the 16th Century –it hasn’t been socially acceptable to prance around with a dueling sword for like centuries, of course the call is about you.
This is where my outlandish imagination transforms a nothing 4-line AP release into like an 8th installment of Harry Potter. But, seriously? What was Ninja-man’s motives at 8AM on 4/20, if you’re doing this and you’re not high there’s definitely an underlying issue. All I can picture is this character, beyond dejected, sulking with his head down walking out of the store. What Ninja gets scared out of a Tedeschi’s? Not a real one, that’s for certain.
What this ninja lacked in skill he made up in resolve. I also rlol’d at the Ledger’s subtitle “After being scared out of Tedeschi store he vainly tried dry cleaners”. So, faced with imminent failure the ninja entered Galaxy Cleaners –sounds like a job for a Sith (Googled “Jedi enemy” for that gem). Can you channel the “force” through a samurai sword? Probably no. At this point our beloved and misunderstood protagonist drew his sword for the first time since he bought it at King Richard’s Faire in 1996. So, with the clerk at tip of sword (is that the equivalent of “gun point”? idk) the ninja demanded all of the Blades of the Orient. No, that would have been way cooler though. Yet another rlol moment for me, the clerk informs the ninja she can’t get the drawer open to the register. So, guy just leaves…the end. A real ninja would have shed blood, shown no mercy and made some sort of dramatic gymnastics exit.
The ninja a.ka. horrible robber remains at large, presently. I can only imagine that he receded to his dank-smelling bedroom in the basement of his childhood home, probably disconcerted over the injustices he committed in the name of Ninjas all over the South Shore of Massachusetts. Let me know if this story develops at all or was just an incredible hoax. Reminiscent of Nick’s post on bank robbers a couple of weeks ago, we can only hope that this was an effort by one ninja to promote an old-school robbery movement…
Lastly, if you don't like my rendition of this story, read here.
Seriously....
That shit is identical to this...
Also I would like to say that while I've been Bro'ing dudes up for ages now I definitely stole the use of the word "the kid" from Nick and let me tell you....it is ill. If your having a bad day and you want an easy way to cheer yourself up, just call yourself "the kid" a couple of times.
For example, while talking to your friends telling a story you say:
"Yeah so the other night this girl looks at me and smiles and I step back and say hey yo bitch, are you smiling at the kid or what? Cuz the kid will take you home and change your life."
I felt better about myself just typing that.....

The Kid Is Back
The Saturday B’s and C’s games were unreal. To be at the Garden area for 12-13 hours with some of the illest partiers around during two playoff games is absurd. Three of us went in to the games (barely), and I’m glad to say, three of us went out. It ended pretty much as expected, with a broken phone, an all-out legit header down two rows of seats and a Chris Farley-esque, beer, flying, ass skidding slip down the balcony stairs. A little something for all of us. But because I haven’t worked for the past 3 business days and because I’m deathly tired, I’ll save the stories/comments and a lame attempt at a photo journal (what there the real chances of that happening?) for another post.
For now, here are some random thoughts:
-Picture you care zero who wins the Boston Marathon, but it remains an unreal fixture in your life regardless. The day off, the craziness, the early Sox game and the overall drunken stupor make it an event worthwhile. People have been getting hammered and high-fiving tired-ass runners for years.
-I love the online ads for the celebrity IQ tests. Oh yea, I’m sure Oprah took your little online quiz. Who the hell is this tricking? “Oh, looks like Mylie Cyrus scored a 118 on this IQ test, I bet I can beat her!!” C’mon now. Either the people making these ads are clueless or the public is a lot dumber than I’m giving them credit for.
-Why do you have to pay more for iced coffee when you get less coffee and more water than regular coffee?
-The waffle shirt/thermal or white long sleeve under your T-shirt is really the best way to go during the springtime. It allows you to get away with not wearing a jacket, which will just hinder your movement all night and give you something to leave behind, and also provides a fresh look and the ability to roll up the sleeves to cool off.
-Like it or not, you can’t stop Ron Brownz. Peep that song in this week’s Music Monday. Oh man.
-I can never go without the internet on my phone again. Not knowing everything and anything whenever I want is unacceptable to me now. Kinda like how I love watching TV with a laptop. Never know when I need sports stats, IMDB or Wikipedia. Chances are strong I’ll need all three. How the hell did people go about their lives 30 years ago? You just didn’t know much I guess. And if you wanted to find something out, you had to go to the library, ask an elder or call like a radio station or something. Haha. Must have saccckkked.
-My favorite jokes when I’m out drinking now are ‘bro-ing’ people and calling myself “the kid” to be obnoxious. Both make me dece giggle.
A Tribute to...how much I miss KG
First of all, I don't know if you saw the end of last nights C's game but it was incredible. Great showdown between Ray Ray and Ben Gordon...but what was even MORE incredible was the faces that KG were making as the camera panned to him the game ended (I tried to find the clip but could not). He was honestly making faces that I have only seen before by Marlon Wayans in the movie Don't be a Menace...which is why I have that up movie photo up there.
KG is the biggest alien that we have here in Boston.....the guy oozes intensity and I'm pretty sure he blacks out during most games and says/does whatever he wants without really knowing it. Think of some of the ill actions you've seen him do in the last two years. Talking shit, headbutting baskets, pounding his chest, making Big Baby cry. The guy is an absolute freak, and if you think for a minute that the C's have a chance to win without him you are out of your mind.
The guy erases 10-14 points a game from the opposing teams total...he is the leader out there and it really blows not having him. Can the Celtics struggle to the Conference Finals...yeah probably. But they will get crunk dunked by LBJ all series, it's just the sad truth.
Also as I'm sure you all know, Leon is tore his ACL and is out of the remainder of the playoffs....

An Assortment
(1) Drink 3 Galvatrons and disappoint your friends. Courtesy of Jared, the 3rd in what I had no idea was a 3-part Galvatron music video series. I was saying I kinda want to party with these people, but they seem exclusive. This one I think is my favorite, because Stanley finally gets to say his peace. Gone!
(2) New Kid Cudi. "Daps and Pound". I can't tell if I love it, yet. I'll give it a few more whirls, but for some reason I feel like the lyrics belong to a much slower, more mellow beat. You can DL this song and his '09 mixtape here.
(3) Snakes on a Monkey-Trickin-Flickin Plane! This is a LOL attempt at showing Snakes On A Motherfuckin' Plane on cable tv while re-dubbing with the most absurd and arbitrary words.

Giselle and Paint
-Here is Giselle wearing only body paint. I figured its worth a shout because it is Tom Brady's wife after all. For some reason I like this a lot. Probably has something to do with the fact that I dig hot girls with tattoos. I was a big fan of Megan Joy on this season's idol for that reason. (Terrible performer compared to the other finalists but she was gorgeous and had that sleeve.)
Enjoy the pictures and say a quick prayer for Tom Brady's health. Only a few more months until we get to see Brady to Moss again.
