2010 is quickly disappearing as I type this garbage of a blog post. Less than 12 hours remain. And really, can't we say good riddance to this abomination (or Obama Nation if you like) of a year? Nothing much really happened. Then again, nothing much ever really happens, does it? But that being said, I'm bored and sitting at Generic Bread on Lawndale. I have time to kill before the Sun Bowl starts in an hour and a half (I decided to stay away from the Muffler Bowl in Charlotte - I still like the Bulls however). Speaking of bowl games, if you bet my 2 big picks on Wednesday (Ok State and Over in UMD/ECU) you should be set for the New Year. They both hit. Anyway, getting back to killing some time today...
On a side note, it must be geriatric day at Generic Bread. There must be 30 folks in here over 75. Lots of blue hair and talk of hospice...
Now I'm gonna hand out some year end TBFH awards. I'll do them until I get bored of typing or need to leave to watch the Papists against Thug U, either way. By the way, there are no actual awards (in a physical sense). So if any of the winners want something for their sweet victory, they need to show up at Wing Joint on a random Thursday night and have Q buy them a Hennesy. He will be happy to oblige you. As for me, I'll be laying low. Way on the down low.
Photographer of the Year - Speaking of Q, he wins in a runaway. Q is particularly adept at not saving pictures he's taken. So it's basically like he never really took them in the first place. Awesome. And as a result of this award, Q can buy himself an extra Hennesy on a random Thursday in 2011.
Athlete of the Year - Landon Donovan. It's not even close. That goal against Algeria will never be forgotten. Nor should it.
Movie of the Year - Nailin Palin. I haven't seen this film personally, but I have it on great authority that it's awesome. That great authority is none other than my friend Dave. And unlike me, Dave has seen lots of films that have been released this year. He knows his movies. The only 2 films I've seen that were released this year are I'm Still Here and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. That's it. Dave swears by Nailin Palin. He says it's on par with the A Team movie that came out back in May. High, high praise there.
News Story of the Year - As all of you know, I don't follow the news very closely. But for me this is easy - Boner's suicide. Andrew Koenig killed himself back in February. Readers of this blog will recall that I took time to mention it back then. I was devastated. Koenig played Boner on Growing Pains. Possibly the cheesiest of all the cheesy 80's sitcoms (Family Ties is close). When a Boner dies, there is great sadness. There should be great sadness. Every Boner is priceless and should be cherished. We will miss you Boner.
Most Nauseating ESPN Hype Machine Thing of the Year - King James, or as I call him, the new Scottie Pippen. The hype started back last winter. Continued through the "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" summer. And is still going strong nightly. There has never been more hype for someone who has accomplished so little. In fact, the new Scottie Pippen realized how over-hyped he was himself when he decided to become Wade's second banana. I give James credit there. But someone needs to tell ESPN this. They are under the illusion that James has won something of import. He hasn't. In fact he quit on his team against Boston in the playoffs. No one mentions that on ESPN however (at least no one I'm aware of).
NASCAR Driver of the Year - My favorite Frenchmen, one Clint Bowyer. Bowyer was on fire this year. And by on fire, I mean he came in dead last in the contrived and impossible to care about Chase for the Cum Crusty Sprint Cup. Well done, Bowyer. I will be pulling for him again in 2011 - in every race. And by every race I mean that 10 or 15 times during the year I'll ask Brandon how my man Bowyer is doing. And then Brandon will give me a vague answer. It will be cool.
TV Show of the Year - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I'm addicted to this crap. My girl Trout Mouth is scary. Kyle resembles Demi Moore. Camille is one of the worst people on the face of the earth (her soon-to-be ex Kelsey Grammer would agree with me). Kim is stupid. The other 2 chicks I actually like - the Maloof woman and the British chick. I hope they never cancel this show. I wish there were daily episodes. It's brilliant.
College Football Game of the Year - Boise/Nevada on Nov. 26 in Reno. Go away bandwagon jumping front-running Bronco lovers. Bye bye.
Best College Hoops Game of the Year - BYU/UF - NCAA Tourney Round 1. Jimmer Fredette torched the Gators for 37 in this double overtime thriller. Jimmer Fucking Fredette.
Most Annoying Barfly of the Year - Gotta be Bill from Cleveland. Bill manages to continuously annoy long after you think there's no way he can any longer. So, there's that. What with the wrestling stories, the Marine stories, the constant woe is me, and his taking valuable TV space by demanding the Tribe games be on even when the Tribe was 30 games out. For all that and more, it's Bill.
Best Barfly of the Year - Big Chris. I haven't seen Big Chris since he was banned from the Wing Joint back in May for trying to trade weed for beer. I did a whole blog post about him around that time. Go back and read it if you haven't.
Bartender of the Year - With all due respect to my friend Dave, my man Scuba, and Tommy from RumbleForeskins, it's gotta be Kate from The Butler Did It. Or maybe the tatted chick at Ass Traps. Either way, you can't g wrong.
Blogger of the Year - Geilfuss. The kid managed to have 2 blogs go defunct this year. Maybe a 3rd is coming in 2011??? We can only hope.
Person of the Year - The biggest honor I can bestow and the last of these stupid awards - Barack Hussein Obama. Remember, if it wasn't for Barry there would be no TBFH. And wouldn't that be a damn shame?
