Stacy's Dad |
|
|
|
Here is a decent parody of
Stacy's Mom. My only criticism of it is that "Cousin Izzy" uses too
many of original lyrics, instead of coming up with new material.
Kind of lazy. You don't come across as many song parodies these
days. I remember Stern used to do a lot, especially of the Backstreet
Boys, but he's moved on. Maybe it's due to Jackie being gone or Fred
being lazy. Weird Al is working less hard these days too, but
anyway, his
stuff is not as offensive as a good parody should be.
In other news, doesn't it
suck to see a sycophantic suckass get credit when a quiet, hard worker is
doing all of the work behind the scenes? Even as a bystander it is
difficult to swallow. It never ceases to amaze me how often this
occurs.
Super Bowl XXXVIII
prediction: New England 20, Carolina 19. Take the points.
Hopefully this prediction will jinx the Pats. |

All I can say is that I
hope the Patriots lose next Sunday, preferably in embarrassing fashion.
I could deal with any team winning from the "final four" except the
Patsies. They're favored by 7, but you heard it here first: take the
points, baby. So...two weeks without football, then another long
offseason. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if all of my sports teams
didn't suck. Wiz? Suck. Caps? Suck. NYU
sports? Non-existent. Orioles? Not my team, and they
suck. C'mon Expos. DC United should be interesting to watch,
but they're not exactly the juggernaut they once were. WC '06
qualifying is not far off, but the general conclusion of all this crap is
that nothing remotely interesting is on tap until summer. Boo.
In other news, Howard Dean
finally bit one, and in grand fashion. Thank you Iowans, you may now
resume your pointless lives.

Dunkin' Dumbass |
|
|
|
The Dunkin'
Donuts/Baskin Robbins on Bow Street has to be the most poorly run food
establishment in Harvard Square. Despite a lackluster volume of
business, this location routinely runs out of donuts. At 6PM today,
they had no glazed, no Boston kreme, no coconut, no strawberry, no French
crullers, no chocolate glazed, no poppy seed bagels, and many many more
empty shelves (these were the only varieties I looked for). They
did, however, have a large stock of chocolate dingleballs and about two
dozen of the tasteless "old fashioned" cake donuts. Argh.
You'd think their business would improve if they actually stocked the
donuts people want. I'm sure their ice cream business is also doing
great, considering it's cold as nuts here. They
can't be selling enough sundaes to compensate for the cost of the
freezers and the snot-nosed scooper. In other news, the Euroguy
donuteer is a Clay Aiken concert away from bursting into
flames. |

Credit Report |
|
|
|
For shits and giggles, I
checked my official credit history today. The service is free, go to
www.experian.com (there are two
other main agencies, and probably countless other companies which will
access the three agencies info for a fee). Anyway, my credit score
fell in the 57th percentile, which was a disappointing surprise.
While I fell in the "medium-low risk range," I had zero bad marks.
(Boo-yah! I'm a good boy.) Two factors brought my score down.
First was that for all of my revolving accounts, the average length of
time they've been open is less than three years. Also, my current
amount of debt is above my average debt, just because I used my card a lot
last month and haven't had to pay it off yet. Anyway, you're
supposed to check your history regularly to minimize your chance of
identity theft and mistakes that threaten your credit score. |

Welcome Back |
|
|
|
I've got to do a better job
of updating this site. There are so many interesting things to talk
about, such as Joe Gibbs' return and how his staff is ancient. I'm
as excited as the next guy about his return, but please hire some young
assistants too. His son Koy is going to be "offensive assistant for
quality control." What kind of lame ass, bullshit position is that?
Incidentally, I am making a concerted effort to incorporate more profanity
into the front page of this Web site, in hopes that I will quickly drive
off any asshole cyberstalkers who are easily offended. If you're an
asshole cyberstalker who isn't easily offended, then welcome!
