I’ve posted this before, but it seemed appropriate as we all reflect on how far Kobe has come.  Back in the day, Mr. Kobe Bryant used to display his skill and prowess on the courts of Southeast Asia.  Far cry from the courts of Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Phoenix and…umm…Boston? 

Rumor has it that after the Finals, Kobe is going to break-off these Tibetan dudes below.  Get his Himalayan swerve on.  But don’t get too Manila style overconfident, Kobe… I hear the Dalai Lama has a mad cross-over dribble and was recruited heavily out of high school by Duke, but had to attend to that whole spirtual thing.  I know….typical Tibetan cop-out.

BILL RAFTERY and VERN LUNDQUIST enjoy a little small talk during a time-out break during the Elite 8…

BILL :  “You know, Verne. That was a wonderful 60 oz. t-bone last night. I especially loved the mayonaisse glaze. Now, it wasn’t just your ordinary mayonaisse glaze. But using the Best Foods brand made it simply to die for. And, speaking of which, how was your appointment with the cardiologist today? I know, I know. Damn them celery sticks to hell!”

VERNE:  “Bill, Did I ever tell you about the steak I had at the Ramada Inn by the airport in Gary, Indiana? They did this thing where they infused a 5″ thick prime rib with gravy and surrounded the meat with half sections of twice baked potatoes drizzled with clarified butter and gouda cheese…all served on a large pewter wagon wheel. I fell asleep at the table and they just brought a large comforter and tucked me in and I slept the night away in that lovely velour booth.”

THIS BABY DONE GOT IT!

HEY!   Like this infant,  I think I’ve acquired the virus they call March Madness!    Weird, huh!    Why and how you ask??   GUS JOHNSON!!   Did you happen to see the bomb fest/35 footer fest/most incredible tournament game ever last night  –  XAVIER v. KANSAS ST.    Did you listen to the incredible call of that fest!!    

And (As Chris Farley might reflect on Gus’ other stuff) ’Member?  ’Member?!   ‘Member that game!  That game HERE?   ‘Member?   That was awesome!   

Mind you…I rarely take things lightly.  You’ll note I once thought I had SARS after eating a cheeseburger and wore a mask for the entire year of 2006.  Nothin’ to sniff at…    Yup.  AND, even crazier, I thought Grey’s Anatomy had a following in 2008!   WEIRD!!   Then….in a spin to find myself…. I spent two hours in 2009 considering the purchase of a 2001 Miata!

GISELE and JEFF SPICOLI

Yes.  I’m making the call.  Without stilettos and lingerie, Gisele is pretty darn average.   Sorry if I offend.  Her nappy-head and bark-chewing beach style reminds me of one of my all-time favorite on screen characters — Jeff Spicoli.  

Some classic Jeff Spicoli quotes:

“All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.”

“Certainly there’s nothing wrong with a little pizza on our time.”

“People on ‘ludes should not drive.”

“This is U.S. History, I see the globe right there!” 

In wild, hairy, excrement news….not only does Tiger Woods shit on his wife! Yes, the man takes shits like the rest of us.   Crazy, I know!  And I thought he just released waste via osmosis or something.   Or maybe his caddy was involved with the transfer.  Hmmm.  Consider me enlightened.

This one’s from the archive, but worth a revisit…. 

Another cat imitating man YouTube that is easy to post, gets a chuckle, and frees up time for me to watch re-runs of The Office.   Not to mention I get to do my obligatory feline post for the week….   

Sure, sure….you’ve heard it before….”sneeze maker fun”….blah, blah, blah…..”lil’ pompous bastards”….yada, yada, yada….”throw ‘em off 15 story buildings during snow storms”…etc, etc. etc…..
