A good weekend for the Red Sox

Winning three close games after having to come back from behind in each one against the Yankees almost erases the memory of last year's 5-game sweep which crushed the trachea of the Sox's playoff hopes. The only thing that could make me feel better is, oh, I don't know.... back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs. OH WAIT!!!

I feel like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction (being revived from overdosing).

This completes my day

Dropping the ball

Dear Fox5,

After watching news at 10 o'clock last night, in particular the segment titled "Idol Chatter," I have this piece of advice: you may wish to proof-read the viewer (or web-surfer) comments more carefully. "Bawling" means "crying" and is what the viewer meant to write. "Balling" means having sex, and is most likely not what the viewer meant to write in (paraphrasing here, I don't remember the exact words) "You'll be able to hear me from New Jersey because I'll be balling tonight [if Sanjaya isn't/hadn't been voted off]." So funny! But also kinda gross.

Sincerely,
Thrillho

Commercial update

After seeing the ad a few more times, I would like to make this correction:

The ad is for Steak-umm, so the correct lyrics are actually

"You can Steak-umm in the North,
you can Steak-umm in the South,
but the best part of all,
is when you Steak-umm in your mouth!"

which is still obscene. Even with the correct spelling, it seems that a video of this ad is nowhere to be seen, so unfortunately you have to take my word for it. Interestingly, though, this product was around 20-30 years ago, and is only now re-emerging. See here.

So that you're not disappointed, though, here is another obscene commercial which you probably have seen (so why will this ease your disappointment?):
