Well, more fascinatingly nauseating news on The Tiger front has emerged here the last few days. And we should have seen the first thing coming - The Tiger was doing a cougar for the past 5 years or so. I've seen a few photos of this cougar, and I gotta say she is the first reasonably not terrible woman who has been linked to The Tiger the past few weeks. It does make me wonder if The Tiger has considered further ventures into the animal kingdom however. I mean when will word of The Tiger doing a Horseface come out? Or a straight up snake? Or a cow? Or a bull dyke? Or maybe just a chicken like that guy in the South Park episode from back in the 90's?
The other piece of personal news relating to The Tiger is that it looks like Jesper Parnevik's nanny may be doing just as I predicted on this blog early last week - divorcing his ass, moving back to Sweden, and trying to forget she ever got mixed up with The Tiger in the first place. As always, I'm prescient. No doubt about that.
Also, the AP has come out with its athlete of the decade and The Tiger did get the award. I don't have too much of an issue with the choice, other than you can argue that golf is a skill and not a sport. Those arguments are pretty pointless though. I've wasted enough energy arguing with guys in bars about whether golf, bowling, auto racing, darts, billiards, and archery/shooting are sports or skills. Let me just say that NASCAR dudes get very upset if you question the athletic prowess of some of their favorite drivers.
The thing about naming the athlete or movie or album or song or TV show or whatever of the decade that I don't get is the math aspect of the whole thing. As far as I know, there was no year 0000. They skipped right from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. So, if that's the case, wouldn't a decade end in year 10, not year 09? It was like that whole silliness over Y2K. That wasn't really the end of the millennium - a year later was. Anyway, I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle on this argument and no one wants to hear it anyway. So, ...
Also, often I think we need more time to decide on the best of something before deciding how well something holds up over time. Like the best album of the 90's for instance. If I recall correctly, Spin named Nevermind the best album of the decade. And I love Nevermind as much as the next guy born between 1964 and 1973. But I'm not sure it is the best album of the 90s now. I listen more often to Oasis (Morning Glory), Beck (Odelay), Smashing Pumpkins (Siamese Dream), REM (Automatic For The People), and U2 (Achtung Baby) than I do Nevermind at this point. For what it's worth, I'd have no idea how to pick an album of the 00's at this point. But as far as song of the decade goes, Hey Ya has to be it. Brilliant. And catchy. And it makes me cry every time I hear it. As far as best movie goes, one stands out way ahead of everything else, I mean way ahead - and that is Lost In Translation, obviously. As far as TV show, I could actually make a bit of a list on that: 1) The Office (both versions, I can't even begin to pick between David Brent and Michael Scott), 2) Sopranos, 3) Curb Your Enthusiasm, 4) Mad Men, 5) Robot Chicken, 6) Freaks & Geeks, and then I get a little fuzzy. I think I am gonna try and do a whole blog on the greatest sporting events of the past 10 years here next week. That will be can't miss (of course, all my posts are can't miss, right?)
I saw where the angry, bitter guy on the MSNBC (the one who used to work with the En Fuego guy, has been fired countless times, and steals from Edward R Murrow) and I are in total agreement on this health care fiasco. I have noted several times on this blog that I would just as soon pay any fine, serve any jail time, whatever it takes to avoid being a part of any government mandated health care deal. And even though I highly doubt anyone at the MSNBC reads this blog, I have a new ally in my sheer disdain for this silliness. Of course, the reason that the guy who used to work with the En Fuego guy, has been fired countless times, and steals from Edward R Murrow is against it is that it's not socialist enough for him. And maybe the 2 of us agreeing that we both hate this health care deal should make me reconsider not supporting it. So, hold on a bit..Okay...Another minute...I still don't support it. Maybe the 2 of us will end up in jail together after not participating in the government mandates over this mess. If we do, I'm guessing I won't like him much, as I think he's a Yankees fan after all. And everyone knows that Jesus hates the Yankees. Admittedly, his breath is probably rank too - and that wouldn't help matters either, you know what with being in close quarters and all...I mean, it is jail for god's sake...
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it, doomed
