Jose Canseco vs. Herschel Walker
Posted by: targeese at 10:07AM MT on February 4, 2010
Jose Canseco's gums are flapping again.
Herschel Walker, former flop of the Minnesota Vikings, but an all-time great athlete has begun a career in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Walker defeated his opponent, Bobby Lashley, in his Strikeforce MMA debut last month. Jose Canseco, who was defeated by former kickoff returner Vai Sikahema (whom he outsized by 7 inches and 70 pounds) in a boxing match and could only box Danny "The D-Bag" Bonaduce to a draw, lasted 77 seconds before being knocked out by a 7'2" Chinese fighter in his MMA debut. Walker's response: "What I do is not a circus …I didn’t
get into this to make money, I got into it for the competition. Jose is
doing this for the money and my thing is, if he wants to fight me and
thinks it's going to be a circus, I will hurt him. This is not a joke,
I will hurt him."

Presidential approval poll numbers are diving. Hope and Change have been replaced by hoping the government doesn't take all of our spare change. We're still involved in two wars, Gitmo is still open, we have no health care solution despite a 60/40 Democratic supermajority, the economy is still struggling, and the work force is literally decimated.
Even Amber Lee Ettinger, Obama's most famous cheerleader - known as "Obama Girl" is ready to jump ship.
Her crush has apparently faded enough that she granted an interview to Sean Hannity [ahem] on FoxNews.com [whut?!] She doesn't know if she'd vote for Obama at this point (she professed some interest in Mike Huckabee and Ralph Nader), but says "Well, at least I wouldn't be the Edwards girl, right?"

One of my favorite topics of conversation is sports team names, the more unusual, the better (my college team name is the Cobbers - Concordia College, Minn.). In my spare time, I built a searchable database of high school, college, and professional sports team names at www.MascotDB.com. We're going to make this an interactive exercise. Your participation is needed! 1. Give us your high school and/or college team name. 2. Mention any other favorite high school or team names. Strange, cool, whatever! 3. Give the Mascot Match Game your best shot! I've provided 26 of my favorite Montana high school team names. Match them up with school. Think you've got them all? Send me an email (tborning@billingsgazette.com). If you get them all correct, I'll dig a prize out of my prize drawer!

 The Pontiac Silverdome, home of the Detroit Lions when they were a halfway decent team and host to SuperBowl XVI, recently sold for not much more than our two mortgages combined. Constructed in 1975 for $55 million, it recently sold for $583,000 to a Canadian real estate firm.
The price is indicative of the collapse of the real estate market and depression-like conditions in the Detroit Metro area. The Silverdome will be used for Major League Soccer games, auctions, and tractor pulls, which is what the Metrodome in Minneapolis has to look forward to if and when the Vikings get their new stadium built.

Laptops for under $200? Blu-Ray players under $50? Those are some of the deals forecast to get shoppers out early on Black Friday. My agoraphobic self won't be there as it often brings out the worst of people, such as trampling a store employee to death.
This article goes over some of what can be expected for price tags on tech toys, including big screen televisions, GPS devices, and computers. I was lucky enough to get a 52" plasma for Christmas a couple years ago, my son got an X-Box 360 last year, and my wife with an atlas is the only GPS I need, so I think I'm set for tech stuff. I could use a new set of golf clubs though. Maybe the girls can go out while I raid the fridge on Black Friday.

The San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings squared off in an NBA game on Saturday night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. No big deal, except thought it would be amusing to release a live bat in the arena.
The bat swooped down around the court, delaying the game as it was diving around the players. Enter Manu Ginobili. With one fell swat, the bat was dead, and was removed from the court by the tall Argentinian. Much more efficient than the Joker.

 If you made your first website about ten years ago, there's a good chance you were on Geocities. Founded in 1994, they were funded, and eventually bought out by Yahoo, and was the third most trafficked site on the Internet in 1999 (around the time Google was in its infancy). In exchange for hosting your website for free, they'd plaster your site with advertisements.
As ad-free hosting become more prevalent, the appeal of Geocities began to wain. Today, October 26th, marks the final nail in the coffin, as Yahoo shutters the site. If you still have a Geocities account, you still have time to retrieve your content. Free hosting sites still exist, including Tripod - the site I used way back in the last millennium to start tinkering around with HTML and JavaScript. If you're looking to learn and are on a ramen noodle budget, it's a decent way to start, if you can stand the obtrusive ads. |
