How it do be is we got the hotness they got the hot mess, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Admit it
In other sports related news, OJ Simpson got savagely beaten within an inch of his life in prison today. Actually, that isn’t true, but it did cheer you up, didn’t it?

Big bucks
Michael Jackson is auctioning off his personal belongings; you know what will go for a lot? The afro pick Jackson had back when he was black.

What?
Nobody was hurt, but a British submarine crashed into a French submarine. That is unbelievable. Can you believe that? Amazing. Since when do the French have a submarine? What do they use it for? Digging for clams?

We are not sure who is at fault but we do know the French sailors immediately surrendered to the British.

Nobody was hurt, but a British submarine crashed into a French submarine. Can you imagine? It must be terrifying, awful and horrific. And besides being locked up in a sub with a bunch of Frenchman, the sub crash was scary too.

Hate to hear that
More sports controversies. You know the spaniel that won the Westminster Dog Show, Stump? Stump was photographed at a party licking the water out of a bong.

Hear it?
Ill. Sen. Roland Burris who testified he didn’t raise money for bribe-ousted Gov Rod Blagojevich to get appointed? Now he admits he did raise money for Blagojevich. That sound you hear is “Honest” Abe Lincoln hitting the spin-cycle in his grave.

Poor guy
At his press conference, Alex Rodriguez said he used steroids and he was going through a tough time. In fact this is the toughest time anyone earning $25 mil a year playing baseball has ever had

Powerful
The History Channel had a special on rogue waves. A rogue wave can reach 100 ft high and travel at 45 mph and be so powerful that if it hit a huge luxury liner it could knock the fat guys away from the all-you-can-eat buffet table.

Sad
Do you know who I feel sorry for? Dick Cheney. No, really. I picture the guy sitting there in his bathrobe, maniacally stroking his white fluffy kitty while day-dreaming about water-boarding an environmentalist.

Since you asked:

Cute moment while we were watching “American Idol” last night. (Don’t give me a hard time, I am on the fence, but Ann Caroline loves it)

Ann Caroline was sitting on the Oriental rug playing with the doggies when Wrigley suddenly decided her pony tail was something that was alive. He kept flipping it up in the air with his big, dumb snout and pawing at it with his big puppy paws while A.C. laughed uncontrollably.

That is one no-sense-having dog, but he is awful cute.


Another too cute moment

Had a great father/daughter moment this morning with Ann Caroline, a.k.a. Miss Thing, Stinkerbell and A.C. I’m sitting there reading “Sports Illustrated” drinking coffee and listening to the morning drive radio station I write for, KGB, while she eats her cereal and she says;

“Oh, are you reading about David Beckham?”

“Yes,” I said, “and I just thought of a joke.”

So I run upstairs, sit down at the computer, write a quick joke about how AC Milan is trying to buy Becks from the LA Galaxy, but, in more-important-to-US-sports-fans news, Tiger Woods’s dog, Yogi, licked himself.

Not great but OK. Then I come downstairs, pour another cup of coffee and finish reading the article. Just then my sports at KGB guy, the great and talented Cookie Chainsaw Randolph, comes on the air and tells the joke. Ann Caroline’s eyes lit up;

“Hey, did you just write that?”

“Yep.”

“Cool” she says giggling, then she got up, went upstairs and I could hear her in the playroom calling her buddy, Adrian to tell her about it.

In our relationship I spend so much time being proud of Ann Caroline, it was nice to have it the other way around for a change.

And it didn’t even matter that neither Ann Caroline nor Adrian thought the joke was funny.
