That's right, it's time once again for Fast Eddie Felson Friday. I screwed up last week and did this on a Thursday, so it's tradition now. Deal with it. So here we go Fast and Loose.
Stephan Miller of Big Bear California was killed while working with a Grizzly bear. His coworkers are stunned and shocked, and for the life of me I cant figure out why. Hey newsflash, it was a fucking bear! When this kind of shit happens I don't even consider it a tragedy. Sure it's sad and all that, but you cant expect a 7 foot 700 pound killing machine to act like a puppy. Just ask Roy , one half of the duo in Vegas, famous for their show that features tigers. Roy, who now wears turtle necks everywhere he goes, will be the first to tell you , wild animals are never really tame.
Hillary Clinton who is 500,000 popular votes behind Obama, and is also behind in delegate votes, and behind in pledged super delegate votes, is claiming she is ahead. Clearly she has taken some tips from her husband, Bill (I didn't have sex , it was just a blow job ) Clinton. Apparently this pair of twits believe they can say anything , even if it's untrue, and it will become genuine by way of utterance. I'm pretty sure this is some kind of Vulcan mind trick. Personally I don't like Hillary for a number of reasons, not the least of which, is that she looks like the mother from those creepy Davey and Goliath animation shows from back in the day.
If you needed proof that criminals are not getting smarter, you need look no further than the escapades of a team of mildly retarded robbers who have robbed two Sonic carhops. The M.O. is to snatch the unsuspecting carhop, drive away with her in their car , take her fat roll of ones and fives and turn her loose. So far the only sign of intelligence they have shown is turning the victim loose unharmed. Because the 10 or 20 year bit a robbery will get you isn't enough, these morons have decided to add kidnapping and a possible Man Act, for kidnapping a juvenile and crossing state lines, in to the mix.
Jared Allen is leaving Kansas City for dollar greener pastures, and chiefs fans are bemoaning the loss of another great sports hero. Lest we forget this clown served time for a DUI only to open up a bar. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with people looking up to sports figures, but I get a little annoyed when they turn them in to some larger than life heroic figure. I may take some fire for this , like I give a shit, but take Derrick Thomas for example. Here is a guy who was awesome on the playing field, yet he fathered umpteen illegit kids, who he didn't really provide for, and to this day he has fans swinging off his jock like he was the pass rushing equivalent of Gandhi. Give me a fucking break already. DT had 7 kids by 5 women, a hero, I think not. You can excel in a particular endeavor, but if you suck at being a responsible human being, you shouldn't be nominated for saint hood. I could save a burning busload of blind nuns tomorrow, but my felony convictions and past indiscretions exempt me from being defined as a hero, and rightfully so. Now run tell that.
And finally, on a somber note. one of the 3 pups in my closet died. The mother wouldn't let it nurse, I bottle fed it and it looked like it might make it, but it wasn't to be. After this litter is raised, Im officially out of the dog breeding business. I'm not suited for it. my problem is I like dogs more than most people. I guess I'm one of those folks that get lambasted for elevating dogs to human status. Say what you will, but I've never claimed to be easy to figure out. I never met a dog I didn't like and trust more than 99.9 percent of Bi-peds. For anyone who takes issue with that, go blow a goat. And to the little brown puppy who died before he ever got to chase a squirrel, RIP.
Absolutely agree with you on the football hero bullsheeot. I was in St. Joe working at the St. Joseph News-wipe when DT went to the endzone in the sky. As I recall, the same day, about a dozen people were killed a little closer to the airport in a horrible crash during an ice storm.
ReplyDeleteWhen I commented in a news meeting on how he was a POS off the field, you'd have thought I'd have said I hated Garth Brooks (which I do, BTW) at Country Fest.
These people who act like the world owes them something because they can play football amaze me. I can let pass ONE DUI. I've never had one, not that I've never deserved one... but one, you learn your lesson. Two, you're an ass who thinks the rules don't apply to you. Past that, you're not worth shooting.
So sorry on the passing of the little brown pup. He's chasing squirrels in the sky now.
ReplyDeleteI have always wondered why people seem to revere sports figures. I think it's sad that we pay them millions of dollars to play a GAME. Rather then spend that money to solve real problems like homelessness, poverty and the foster care system. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your puppy. <3 to the tiny guy. I to love dogs more then people simply because dogs don't lie lol.
Why would 4 guys in a car grab carhops? I seriously doubt it was for the money. I think it was a gang initiation thing.
ReplyDeleteditto on the bears,lions and tigers,even my cat still bites and thousands of generations removed from being wild.
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about the pup.
ReplyDeleteI too agree with the hero worship of sports figures. And, I love sports. They're just people. Its nice that you can throw a curve ball, but a plumber that can fix my pipes or a mechanic that can fix my car, well, there ya go.
ReplyDeleteI just love strippers. :)
