It so not gonna go sweet and slow on the down low, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers


What’s the deal?
What is the deal with Kim Jong Il? He looks like Elton John and Mini Me had a kid.

I, uh, I did not, uh, now that
Madonna is seeking to adopt an African toddler from Malawi. Incidentally, Malawi is an old African word that means Ripping Off Angelina Jolie’s Publicity Stunt.

Sweet job for Sweet Lou
The Chicago Cubs are looking to hire Lou Pinella as their new manager. It’s a good job, the pay is good, you get to travel and you always have the month of October off.

That’s not nice
The New York Mets tied the best of seven NLCS with a 2-2 with a 12-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Not to imply that Fox would rather have the larger market New York Mets in the World Series, but today Fox leaked news the Cardinals sent inappropriate e-mails to a page.

Not looking good
31 players were ejected for fighting during the Miami F.I.U game. It was the ugliest thing to happen on a football field outside of the Oakland Raiders.


Whole lotta shaking goin’ on
Hawaii had a 6.6 earthquake. It was pretty bad. More people fell out of cocoanut trees than at the Keith Richards family reunion.

Bad luck
Did everyone survive Friday the 13th? Mine was pretty tough. I broke a mirror and now I am doomed to have seven years of perverted congressmen.

Good luck with that
The House Ethics Committee is going to look into the Mark Foley boy page scandal just as soon as they find anyone in the House who has any ethics.

How do you do that?
The winless Oakland Raiders suspended receiver Jerry Porter four games for conduct detrimental to the team; apparently Porter made a suggestion in a meeting that might help them to win.

Apparently Porter reminded them that they are the Oakland Raiders.

Janice Hough’s joke
“Grudge 2” is the top movie this weekend. In horror movies, music often cues when something horrible is about to happen. Like, for the Raiders, that music is the national anthem.

Since you asked:
So I know what’s on your mind. Who did Lex’s Fantasy football team, Thor’s Thunder, do this weekend?

It was not looking good. After two close loses in a row facing an undefeated team that included Marc “Battle of the” Bulger, the hottest QB in Fantasy, and two great running Thomas “Mrs, Mrs” Jones and Ronnie Brown “Sugar” with four of my starters on the bench, including Peyton “Place” Manning, Fred Taylor “made” and Chester Taylor “Of two cities” I was looking weak and ready to go 3-3.

But no, Laverneous “I’m so hot for her and she’s so” Coles and my super subs Vince Young “and the restless” rally and Tatum “For whom the” Bell “tolls” came up big. Miracle victory thanks to the Bears needing to pass and Thomas “Mrs Mrs” Jones only getting 50 yards. 4-2, one game out with seven games to go and almost all byes out of the way.

Prepare to gaze in wide wonder at the great and mighty Thor’s Thunder. (Clarion call of that big Viking horn thingie in the Ricola cough drop commercials)

When did I turn into a dork? I used to be so cool.
