Well I remembered the O/U on Saturday July 2. And then we had the holiday. And then I was working all day. So basically I have minor excuses for not getting this up until today...5 days late.
If anyone knows how to web design and the like, I'd love to hear from you as I am thinking about revamping the site as the one year anniversary of this site is nearing. If interested, you know how to contact me. If you don't, I either don't like you or you don't know where to find the contact link. (Ha! to all the Firefox/Mozilla users. Ha, I say!)
Underrated
Batman Begins - Now you might say, "how can this be underrated? Everyone was jocking it." Well, I wasn't. I thought it was going to be another Batman crapfest even though Joel Schumacher wasn't directing it. I was wrong. It's pretty damn good. Christian Bale is damn convincing as Batman despite changing his voice when he wears the suit. I'm not sure I get that. One minute he's himself, the next he's Isabel Sanford with a voicebox. Yea, that's right...I pulled out a Jeffersons reference on you. At any rate, the movie is damn solid all around. The back story ties Bruce Wayne's story together well and the movie feels more like a real life tale as opposed to a comic book on screen. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Michael Keaton Batman's, but this is cool in its own way. My only gripe is that the major conflict at the end gets resolved far too quickly and basically skips right to the end where, by the way, we find out that the sequel (yup) will be against the Joker.
Body Vandalism - The age old tradition of writing on someone that has passed out from drinking never gets old. And we did it to our buddy Matt a couple weeks ago. It was awesome. It must have been about 3-4 in the morning and the poor kid had passed out for a good 45 minutes before we decided to douse him in blue Sharpie. Loomis wrote "D-Lux" on him which I'm sure is some type of inside joke between them. I wrote "PENIS" on his neck (were you expecting anything else?). Charlie drew a Don Quijote beard and painted his toe and fingernails. It was about five minutes after this that another friend came over and saw our work and started laughing that Matt woke up. He then, in a drunken stupor, started saying, "wow Adam, you're ridiculous. You're so embarrassing." So we chime and start following suit calling Adam embarrassing all knowing that the joke's on Matt. After about five minutes of this Matt looks down and sees that his toenails are blue...then looks at his fingernails...then realizes he's been vandalized. You could see the "Mother...f%&ker..." just being said in his head as he walked briskly to the bathroom to wash it off. Oh, he got it off alright...except his nails. It's still there two weeks later. Alllllright!
Online Gambling - Wow. I'm not much of a Texas Hold 'em player. Probably because I'm not terribly good at it. But I love Spanish 21, Blackjack, and Caribbean Stud poker. And boy howdy, does Casino On Net have those. Well...they don't have Spanish 21 which bothers me because it's so much better than Blackjack. But I played BJ and CSP for an hour or so the night I signed up and I made $80! I was pretty pumped. But the next night I tried at it again...and wouldn't ya know it, I was up $190 now!...
Overrated
Online Gambling - ...and then I proceeded to get greedy. I wanted to win one more hand so I could get to an even $200. Can you guess what happened? No, I didn't cash out. I lost it all including my original $60. I got greedy and couldn't hit on anything to save my life. Of the few times I won in that slide I was always betting with $5 or $10. And the three times I tried to get back in the game with a big risk bet, I failed. I was not a happy camper. Especially since I'm trying to save money for my vacation to bloody olde England next month. And yes, you will be getting pictures and stories from that trip in a vacation, or holiday as they say, column. I can't wait either. I'm giddy like a schoolgirl...which reminds me...
Underage Girls - In the words of Eric Cartman, "Totally not cool." I've got beef (that's right, I said beef) with them for one reason and one reason alone. As the years go by it seems girls are maturing at an alarming rate. Seriously. If you take a look at girls that are 17, 16, even 15 years old, they look like they could be 18, 19, or 22 for Christsake. And just for the record I have not touched any of them despite my hormones not caring/knowing. Self control, Danielsan. It's really a shame. It really is. I even vaguely remember writing something similar to this a few months back. Possibly in the same O/U column. I bring all this up because I recently attended the high school graduation of my sister. No big deal. The problem is that as a guy, we are manufactured to want lovely ladies. Our hormones don't know what's illegal and immoral to touch. So booty is booty and rack is rack to them. And then there's "society" telling us, "that's wrong!" It's really quite disturbing though that in remote places of this country, and world I suppose, (actually anywhere I guess) that sick assholes can't control their minds and let their hormones do the walking. I'm not talking about 22 on a 17 or 18. That can be fudged. I'm talking like a 36 on a 16. We're getting into some sick territory there. And I'm not trying to justify what these bastards do but I can almost see why some may find it hard to resist. Look around you, Lindsay Lohan just turned 18. Hillary Duff is 17. Maria Sharapova is 17. Christ, JoJo is 13! All I'm saying is sometimes I wish for one of two things: I was 18 again or I lived in like 1200 AD in Europe where giving underage girls the jump was the norm. Hey, call me sick but you're thinking the same thing.
Bags of Ice + Drinking - Yea, bad combination. I was at a huge party (not the same one as the vandalism) with all of my coworkers and my buddy Eddy decided he wanted to use my right knee to break apart a huge block of ice in one of those bags you pick up at a gas station. He was drunk, I was drunk and he just swung the bag at my knee. I'm not mad at him. This kind of stuff happens. However I couldn't exactly walk right the next day and my knee still hurts like a mother even though I've iced it down numerous times. The good news is that I'm pretty sure it's not broken or fractured because it's not swollen and I'm pretty sure it would hurt a lot more if it was. I can get around fine. Hell, I was even able to play basketball today. But there's a little discoloration on it kind of like if you had a really bad black and blue bruise that was healing. That yellowy hue? I don't know. As long as I don't need surgery I'll be cool. Booze and Ibuprofen here I come!
