Looks like the Bambino’s curse has been lifted. The Boston Red Sox have finally won a World Series, after 86 years of bad luck. This year was their year. Congrats Sox!

Perhaps a part of the reason they won was all the bad karma that those assholish Yankees fans created for themselves. The cleat may be on the other foot from now on. They’ve already gone down in baseball history as the only team to ever blow a 3-0 lead in a series; and to their arch-rivals. Serves you right. Smug Bastids.

Victory couldn’t be sweeter for Red Sox fans. Lance, Neil and Jackson are like giddy little school girls in a candy store this morning.

Perhap the Cubs will win one soon. It’s been 96 years for them. They haven’t won since 1908. They’re cursed too. There’s definitive proof. Remember Steve Bartman? Has he been murdered yet?

Oh yeah, Yankees suck!

Croc Park

Croc Park is the way oh-so abused and overused genre of reality TV should be used. It’s a show about making a fake movie using real unsuspecting actors who think the writing (which is atrocious) is actually great. Cool! Where do I sign up?

Light ‘er up!

I am a self-admitted practicing fart aficionado. I do enjoy a good toot of my own. As Fat Bastard in Autin Powers says, “we do love our own brand”. And, although smelling a stranger’s gaseous emission is rather disturbing to the point of near vomitus, I do appreciate the sound and force with which each crepitation is expelled. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the following video of a gentleman whom, through the magic of video post production I presume, has become, in my vast fart judging experience, one of the most potent gasbags ever to have walked the Earth. Enjoy: scheet.wmv (1.14 mb)
