The Weekend Wrap 6/1-6/4
Things we learned:
- Even Tom Cruise’s most recent ridiculous behavior can not stop the movie money making tandem of Cruise and Steven Spielberg. You can argue over the merits of this movie and whether or not it is any good (review coming later this week) and if Cruise & Spielberg still excite some movie goers, but when these two put something in the theatre it sure seems to make a lot of money. War of the Worlds is no different; it took in $77.6 million. That out does the other movies in the top 10 this weekend; combined those movies made $71.4 million.
- Takeru Kobayashi is absolutely inhuman. Who is he you ask? Well he is the 5 time champion of the July 4th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. He packed down a measly 49 hot dogs in 12 minutes, and that is 4 ½ dogs off of his world record. He weighs 144 lbs. and can pack down food like nobody else alive. Really this guy should have his own reality show. Now calling him an athlete is using the term loosely, but as far as competitive hobbies & games there is nobody that dominates like this guy. The next closest competitor at 37 hot dogs and was never even in the competition. The name should be changed to how many hot dogs can this freak Kobayashi down in 12 minutes. To equate it to something, it would be like watching the Red Sox take on the Idaho Class 2-A High School Champions.
- Space nerds everywhere……UNITE!!! This weekend NASA scientists successfully blasted a whole in a comet just out of the Earth’s orbit. This was project “Deep Impact” after the 1998 movie. I read about 4 articles on this event this weekend, and I am very unsure on why it was done. Who knows, maybe people at NASA were just bored and wanted to blow stuff up, that is what I would do.
Things I disliked:
- This is kind of general comment, but after watching entertainers and athletes yap on TV all weekend I hate these dumbass’s and the clichés they constantly use. The newest entertainer (and sometimes athlete) cliché is “We’re just trying to take things to the next level,” or some variation of that quote. Cliché’s indicate a few things about the person using them; first they are unintelligent, two they obviously have nothing else to say, and lastly they most likely did not understand the question. I want all of these people dead.
- Okay this may come out wrong, but here goes. I hate this stupid Live 8 concerts that happened all over the world this weekend. I am not against charity or anything like that, but as Bob Geldof (The Organizer) has said this is not about charity, it is about your voice. Well pal, voice’s don’t do much, money does. Especially the fact that most of the people who went to go see these free concerts don’t give a rats ass about what cause you were trying to champion. They went to go see their favorite band, most especially because it was free. I guarantee if your interviewed people at the concert more than half of them would have no idea what you were actually trying to accomplish. In fact, I have very little clue and I watched about 15 different news reports on these concerts. I know you were trying to bring awareness to the leaders of the G-8 summit later this week. How many people actually know what the G-8 summit even is? I just think most of the good these people where trying to accomplish fell mostly on deaf ears.
Things I liked:
- While I am not one much for the super celebration of over patriotic days like the 4th of July, I do find myself amazed by the love of fireworks by the southern rednecks. I found myself at a BBQ (southern people that is a northern word for cookout) Saturday evening. It actually turns into a contest of which redneck has more fireworks in a given neighborhood. To me it is more of a race to see who can blow off a finger sooner. The party I was at had what was known as “The Peacemaker.” This was a $400 set of fireworks, that is a piss load of explosions. Once the fireworks started there was a solid 2 hours worth of explosion’s in the neighborhood. It is like the Bat signal, one redneck hears someone five blocks away light off a bottle rocket and they going flying down a fireman’s pole into their garage where they too have a “Peacemaker” set of fireworks.
- Now we all know how much I hate MTV, however being a masochist I watch this crap everyday. One of the truly repulsive shows on this network is of course its flagship program “The Real World.” I could go on for hours on why I hate “The Real World” and why I think it has ruined both television & society, but someone else has summed it up better than me, and that is Chuck Klosterman in his book Sex, Drugs, & Cocoa Puffs. The new season has recently premiered and pits 7 usual fucking people in Austin Texas for 6 months of stupidity, drunken escapades, and lots of making out & sex. I won’t go into the whole situation, but there was an incident at a bar involving 2 cast mates. One of those cast mates decided to actually act like an adult and simply remove himself from the situation, let cooler heads prevail and go home and hope everything calms down. Well the rest of the cast mates were kind of unaware of what was happening, so these two meathead fake tough guys go outside and basically begin trolling for trouble around the streets of Austin, and trouble they got. They got into a fight with other drunk meat heads and the one dude from “The Real World” got fucking jacked up. So bad he had to have some surgery to help repair the bone in his face, and man I could not be happier. Some may say the guy got hit with a cheap shot; well life is full of cheap shots pal. You know, if you do not go around acting like a tough guy and getting in fights the chance’s of getting your face smashed in by a cheap shot are greatly reduced.
OLD SCHOOL RAP LYRIC OF THE WEEK:
We reign all year round from June to June
While niggaz bite immediately if not soon
Set the lynchin, and form the execution date
As this two thousand beyond slang suffocate
Amplify sample through vacumn tubes compressions
cause RZA, to charge niggaz twenty G's a session
