A parody of a parody is a farce, right?

I am going to take a cue from my mom, who took a cue from us, and sink the nine ball. No, really. The lists must continue.

But first I would like to say that during our paintball game today, my dear friend Richard broke his leg. We will be undergoing surgery tomorrow to install a Titanium plate bridging the break and speeding his recovery. I think he just wanted to have metal covered bones like mine of Admantium (Kelly will understand). Still, good luck and God bless Richard who took what must have been excrusiating with bravado and grit, quite the boy-o. Well done, if that can be said for breaking a limb.

Ok the list... I like the annoying list so here is mine.

Top 10 most annoying celebrities.
1. Tom Cruise... no 1 for a reason. I understand annoying, Brooke doesn't. Ever heard of L. Ron Hubbard? Give me a break. Perfect example of someone so stupid that when they finally grasp something they feel they have to shove it down everyone's throat.
2. Elisabeth Hasselbeck... watch the View, you will understand before the first commercial.
3. George W. Bush... Too bad he wasn't hunting with Cheney.
4. Charlie Sheen... Ok buddy, if Denise Richards isn't enough you must seek the life of a monk or unic or something.
5. Paris Hilton... And she is a celebrity why?
6. Mariah Carey... 36 going on 46 wanting to be 26... very sad.
7. Jennifer Anniston... I like her, and Vince, but get over yourself and Brad already. As if you are so good that you are above your old man running of with another, much hotter I might note, woman that is should outrage everyone.
8. Brad Pitt... for snagging Angelina and being such a pratt about how he did it.
9. The UN... not a person but equally annoying. Why are they making movie stars ambassadors? No training in diplomacy. No training in Economics or Sociology, so all they are doing is making ill informed statements of opinion that may or may not affect the situation. Even then it may affect it negatively. Not to mention you are putting a face on your organization that the entire 2nd and 3rd world hates, Capitalist, Materialist and Fake.
10. NBC... another not a person, but you have 7 network at your disposal... run something Olympic related on at least one of them 24 hours a day.

Top 5 best Winter Olympic events.
1. Men's Downhill
2. Speed Skating
3. Curling... Bocce with 42 pound balls
4. Trialthon... what? It involves shooting a gun, that alone increases the cool factor.
5. Ski Jumping... crazy buggers

Top 5 worst Winter olympic events
1. Any containing the word "Figure"
2. Any containing the word "Snowboard"
3. Luge.. maniacs in skin tight spandex feet first
4. Skeleton.. maniacs in skin tight spandex head first
5. Bobsleding... maniacs in skin tight spandex sitting 2 to 5 in a row.

Sports Coverage (actual event)... best to worst.
Fox... Joe Buck is the best. That and you always get the crowd noise so that you feel like you are in the crowd.
ESPN... They should be good, this is all they do. They have some of the worst color guys in the business (Joe Morgan to name one), but the presentation is so professional that, try as they might, they can not bring it down.
TBS/TNT... They do mostly basketball but they do it well.

NBC... They do ok, even if they are screwing up the Olympics... and for my sister. Bob Costas.

CBS... They really suck. They carry the Titans games. Forget Sominex, get CBS.

ABC... Mainly for the horrible, yes horrible Monday Night Football. MNF moves to ESPN next year and gets at least one color man worth tuning in for (Kornheiser) but the old crew on ABC was so bad, it will take decades of broadcasting no sports to catch up. Dennis Miller? Really, what were they thinking?

5 kids shows you should watch and why.
1. SpongeBob Squarepants... funny stuff, and something for everyone like Bugs was in his day.
2. Jimmy Neutron... same depth of humor but also has really smooth CA.
3. The Wiggles... I dare you to watch at least 2 episodes and not catch yourself humming or singing a tune from it.
4. Seasame Street... A standard and still quality. I have a 27 year old Grover int he attic to prove it.
5. Barney... Annoying, maybe, but teaches some good old wholesome values and you will be singing these tunes as well.

My peeve for the day is the Tennessee license plates enboldened with "Sons of Confederate Veterans" including a stars and bars. The civil war was fought over slavery. The enslavement of an entire race on this continent and we are allowing a state issued document to celebrate this? I bet you don;t see "Son of a Nazi Veteran" on any German tags. The Georgia state courthouse was flying the conferate flag and had to remove it's stars and bars. So why are we putting it on license plates? These people drive all other the country, it is no wonder people think we are backwards. Why not "Son of Revolutionary Veteran"? If a son of a confederate veteran were to actually be kicking around, I would give him the plate. Lets do some math here. Say a Joe entered the confederate army at 14, live through the war and did not have kids until he was 80. That would make his eldest offspring around 75. Not a big cross-section of the population... Did I mention these are available in several states? What a joke.
