My worst nightmare

This might be my worst nightmare ever...seriously...

  • MLB game called after swarm of bees invades field




  • The funny thing is, I was once at a game in Toronto where there were too many musquitos on the field and the game was postponed for an hour while they closed the roof of the stadium. If it was bees, there would have been a problem.

    TRAFFIC...

    So, since I moved to Connecticut, I am now one of the many people that drive about 40 miles to work, each way. Now, with this whole commute thing, 2 things have become apparently clear to me.
    ONE: All traffic reporters are LIARS. When my alarm clock goes off in the morning, I hear some low paid morning jock who thinks he is soooooo funny, making banter with the traffic lady. First off, in this day and age of road rage, you should let the traffic lady do her damn report. Then make stupid banter. This one minute is CRITICAL because in that one minute a person driving to work can stay on the highway and come face to face with the bumper to bumper traffic that is 5 miles ahead at a dead stop, or get off at the exit that is 50 yards away and not have to deal with the bumper to bumper traffic. It's the same theory as setting your clock 5 minutes ahead...It just takes that 5 minutes to actually be on time to things, not miss a train, a bus... You get my point. OK, so traffic lady is all "Hey, this is Julie with metro traffic and (enter number/name of highway you need to be on) is looking free and clear all the way down to (enter destination city/town). A minor fender bender on the right hand shoulder of (enter name/number ofhighway you never go on ever to get to work) which is causing some rubbernecking. All trains and buses are on and close to schedule." Awesome you think, no traffic! Excellent! Those people on that other highway are screwed! HA! So you get ready, head out the door and listen to the traffic one more time while your car warms up. And here is cheery Julie again, saying the traffic is A OK.
    You know the rest of this story...The traffic is not A OK. Julie is a LIAR. BIG, FAT, LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! And just like in the movie Office Space, I am always in the lane that is moving the slowest. And the part that burns me the most is... if I am made to sit in traffic for an hour, there better be a damn accident. Not one day that I have driven and sat in traffic have I seen an accident. I know, you are saying, "well maybe the accident got cleared." No, it did not. No cops or ambulances whizzed by to the scene. No tow trucks on the side of the road. No sand on the road to soak up the gas...SO, all traffic reporters... LIARS
    TWO: Weather reporters are liars. Last Tuesday is a prime example. The weather report on the Today Show, maybe some snow showers starting at 5pm, but nothing major. I mean, I got this info from Al Roker and a jolly man with a head to big for his body would NEVER lie. Usually when there is bad weather, I take the train. That day, I drove, it didnt seem like things would be too bad. So it' s now 11am, I am in my office, pretending to work, and it starts to snow, and snow, and snow... as time goes on, the flakes are getting bigger, the snow is sticking and piling up quickly. KICK ASS. I begin to think back to the Today Show, and begin to get really mad, at Al Roker. I mean, could he have been any further off on the weather? Where the hell did this idiot go to school? (That comment does not apply to sports anchors that might have gone to the same school as Al.) SO now what happens... I leave work to go home and...
    We are back to square one. TRAFFIC. Which brings me to my thinking of when I am actually in traffic. It took me 2 hours and 45 minutes to get back home. 40 miles. CRAZY. I then begin to think like this: If I was in the car for another hout and 15 minutes, I could be in Oswego at The Shed. This is how I measure time spent in traffic. It's probably a sign of the fact that I am slowly losing my mind, or that my mind has been completely damaged by the many years of drinking upstate, but it makes sense to me.

    Star Wars is coming to The OC, Bitch!

    'Star Wars' trailer to premiere on 'O.C.'
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Darth Vader is coming to "The O.C."

    The trailer for "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" will premiere during the March 10 episode of the Fox show.
    The final installment of the "Star Wars" saga will open in theaters on May 19. The new trailer will be released in movie theaters beginning March 11. "Revenge of the Sith" is the third prequel to the original "Star Wars" trilogy. It continues the chronicle of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), who eventually turns to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader.

    As an avid superhero fan, Seth Cohen, the main character of "The O.C." played by Adam Brody, would likely relish the event. "The O.C." airs Thursdays (8 p.m. EST).

    Scully's Academy Award Review

    Ahhhh...the Academy Awards. The Oscars...The fashions, the speeches. BORING.
    This years ceremony had only a few highlights and alot of lowlights.

    HIGHLIGHTS:
    Chris Rock... He had a good opening routine. Not great. Not bad. But good. Sometimes i felt like he took a joke a little too far, meaning that it should have ended sooner than it did. But he proved he could host the show and got alot of laughs.

    Leonardo Dicaprio...because he didn't win. It was a highlight to me.

    Selma Hayek... Specifically Selma Hayek's boobs, which looked great in her dress. Danny Boy liked that part of the show.

    The girl in the yellow is her non english speaking maid

    Lou Gossett Jr... Passed out, in his chair, while they showed a shot of a nominee being announced. I mean, it doesn't get better than that. Oh wait, except for when that kid was falling asleep behing GW Bush during a speech.

    Beyonce...more specifically, her eye makeup. It went from green, to gray with lots of sparkles, to lots of black. Jay-Z has a high maintenance girlfriend!

    Clint Eastwood...thanking his 98 year old mom. So sweet.

    LOWLIGHTS:

    Sean Penn... Going back to a Chris Rock joke from his opening routine to let him know who Jude Law is. Stop being so PC Sean. Sheesh.
    added note by Scully: Jude Law is NOT the sexiest man alive. No way, no how.

    Hillary Swank... She thanked EVRYONE. I mean, EVERYONE. she even thanked her lawyers. Then at the last minute her publicist. Just get off the stage lady.

    Blah, blah, blah.. yada, yada, yada...

    Antonio Banderas... I mean really, just because you were in Evita gives you the right to sing at the Oscars??? I watched that song thinking the whole time- i want to wash his hair and give him deodorant. On a side note, Santana was chewing gum! while paying the guitar! at The Oscars!! Tacky!

    So, overall a poor Oscar show... no big surprises... and the same Cadillac commercials over and over and over. Someone please tell me why I watch this crap...

    Drunk Voice Mail

    this is an audio post - click to play


    Let it be known...if you call me and leave me a drunk voice mail from Pint Night at the Shed, Mug Night from The Shed or $1 cans of Labatt's from The Brick on Thursdays, you are fair game to have your voice mail posted.

    I am happy to give this first drunk voice mail post to Watson. As i dreamt away in my bed, this sports anchor extrodinaire, who doesn't go to work until 3pm, left me a classic voice mail. I thought you would all enjoy hearing it, especially those who were at Dorsey's 2 weeks ago. If you weren't there, it's still a great voice mail. Chock full of singing and personalized lyrics...this one is a gem!

    Random Friday thoughts

    • Why are all IHOP restaurants shaped like churches?
    • How come some brands of pudding at the supermarket are refrigerated, and some brands aren't?
    • Is it just me, or does The Rock look good with an afro in the commercial for the move Be Cool?
    • The 2 times in 112 years that the Stanley Cup was not awarded, the Boston Red Sox were defending champions. (courtesy of ESPN )
    • Why do really fat men have flat asses? Is it because the weight of their big belly's in front of them cause their asses to get pulled closer to their bodies??? hmmmmm....
    • Who "office spaced" the fax machine at my work parking lot until it was a pile of plastic pieces and broken computer boards? (background music: damn it feels good to be a gangsta...)

    SCULLY'S

    Video: SuperPool III
    Release Date: Wednesday, Feb 16, 2005
    Director, Producer, Graphics, Soundtrack: Keith Roach


    Director Keith Roach obviously has too much time on his hands, and we love him for it. He also must not have alot of work to do, so we love his boss for it. Love all around. And boy, do i LOVE this video. One of Roach's finest pieces of picture montage videos he has ever done. Not only does it have a great soundtrack, but the addition of the sound effects really shows us his talents. The sudden insert of "Living on a Prayer" made me laugh so hard, it almost made me pee my pants, and at Dorsey's I almost did because the place was too packed to get the restrooms! The play by play text really makes me feel like I am back at the SuperPool party. The clever way he makes fun of friends... this is, ultimately, what I live for.

    On a scale of 1 (the worst) to 5 (being the best)

    Roach's SuperPool III video gets 5 out of 5 Labatt Blue Cans!!!



    You can watch the SuperPool video by going to the ClipWorthy Sidebar and clicking on the SuperPool III Video link

  • By popular demand... Flaming TrashyPantz #2

    Since he was so upset that the first pic was of Roach and not him... We give you Flaming TrashyPantz #2. Notice the wanna be bad ass look, but yet, underneath that bandana and jersey is a man who waxes his eyebrows, owns more shoes than any man should own, and uses lots of "product." He also wants to date Flaming TrashyPantz #1 and would like to take him out on his first date to a great bar that he has been to before in Providence, RI that has a purple awning and encourages dancing on speakers in your CK boxer briefs.

    Scully's Grammy recap

    For the first time in a long time, I was actually able to sit through almost all of the Grammy's. The reason I say almost, is because from 9pm to 10pm I was flipping backand forth to Desperate Housewives. I am a sucker for anything that resembles a cheesy evening soap opera like Melrose Place. Just wait until Survivor starts, which is on at the same time as The OC! What's a TV junkie to do? Back to the Grammy's...

    Opening act: A montage of many acts featuring Gwen Stefani and Eve to Los Lonely Boys. Did anyone notice that some of the songs sounded like they were a bit slower than the recordings? I think Gwen Stefani slowed down Rich Girl because her heels were SO high, that if the song were any faster she couldn't walk to the beat.

    From then on, the awards show actually held my attention. I think the reason that the show is getting good reviews overall, is because this is the first year that the music that was showcased and nominated was actually GOOD music. No Christina Aguliera's performing. You get what I am going at here.

    I even sat through the Lynrd Skynrd jam. For those of you that know me, I HATE country music, so when Tim McGraw appears on stage, I am like, oh crap, this should SUCK. But it didn't!
    During the performance, I noticed that Gretchen Wilson and Tim McGraw were both dressed in "country chic" which is the staple wardrobe of black jeans and a semi tight black t shirt. But each had the addition of some "bling." And this was specifically located on their ginormous belt buckles. Tim McGraw had a huge rectangle buckle of diamonds with the outline of America in black. Gretchen Wilson's was more the typical belt buckle, but still full of shiny ice.

    Hence a new term was born at that moment... If you are wearing all black (jeans and a t shirt) with an iced out belt buckle, you are "SEXY NASCAR".

    Here are some other revelations of the night:

    Weirdest acceptance speech: Loretta Lynn and Jack White. Why did he keep bowing ot her like a little japanese servant? And what is with the mustache Jack??? And someone give him some shampoo... and a brush.. and a razor... I could go on and on right now.



    Most uncomfortable performance moment: An 80 year old James Brown shouting out "I'm a sex machine."

    Worst dressed:
    MALE: Adam Sandler. Hey Happy Gilmore, would it kill you to wear a suit? I mean, you were handing out an award with Nelly, I am sure he has one he can lend you.
    FEMALE: It's a tie between Sheryl Crow and her Lance Armstrong inspired yellow dress, and Lisa Marie Presley who looked like she hadn't slept in a month.

    Sheryl, Your stylist is your "biggest mistake"

    (you can't count Loretta Lynn's purple frock because she is kinda out there and after being coaxed out of semi-retirement, she won a grammy after her last one 33 years ago.)

    Performance I couldn't stop watching: J Lo and her 8th(?) husband Marc Anthony. There is this elaborate set, they are singing in spanish, she is pretty and he is just GROSS... And I was waiting for them to eventually burst out in the english version, maybe just the chorus, and NOTHING. So I had no clue what they were crooning about, but yet, I kept watching, waiting, hoping, for the english. I mean, there weren't even any words that were familiar that I could translate. No words like,"...la vida loco" or "la isla bonita".
    I also couldn't stop watching because the part of J Lo's dress that helped conceal her booty was so damn SPARKLY! It (the sparkles, not her ass) mesmerized me!

    Worst performance: I know it was with all good intention, but the "All Star" version of The Beatles Across the Universe, which is downloadable on I tunes and all proceeds go to aid tsunami victims. TERRIBLE. Nobody looked like they wanted to be there and they butchered the song. I mean, of all the songs to choose to sing? Great idea, bad performance.

    Random thoughts: Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day wears more makeup than any girl I know...The president of the Grammy's really shouldn't lecture people on not downloading music when I just watched 3 hours of your show which was chock full of repetitive commercials, screw you buddy... Ray Charles' managers speech was the shortest and most heartfelt...Good thing Stevie Wonder can't see because the jacket he was wearing was HIDEOUS... Props to Melissa Etheridge for rocking out after attending the Grammy's with no hair due to the chemo she is going through for breast cancer...If I hear the Black Eyed Peas sing Let's Get it Started one more time to open up a sporting event or awards show, I WILL shoot myself.

    Mustachioed, a Trivial Pursuit typo???

    SO WE THOUGHT!

    mus·tachioed

    Ultimately from Italian dialectal mustaccio, mustache. See mustache.
    adj : having a moustache
    syn: mustached


    Example #1:The mustachioed lady at Byrne Dairy across from Greene's used to date this bearded lady.


    Example #2:
    This mustachioed singer looks like a "dirty" "genie in a bottle"


    Example #3:
    It has nothing to do with the word, it's just disturbing looking and went with the flow of the post.
