What is the deal with Daisuke Matsuzaka nickname. It is not very original. It is just the proper pronunciation of his first name. That is ridiculous. I mean, has even earned the major league right to use the letter K in his nickname. He has not even struck out one batter yet. Does he gamble a lot? Can somebody come up with a nickname for this guy. How about the Kamikaze Kid or the Bonsai Hurler. Even Dice man would be more appropriate I'll tell you one thing Dice-K does not stand up to Lou Da Douche or The Machine to any extent. Post any other nicknames you can come up with in the comments.

Remote Control Surfing
Love to surf but you hate the little rash you get on your nipples when the wetsuit rubs against them all day long? Have you always wanted to learn how to get out there in the ocean and to ride waves in all day long but are an apathetic lazy person?
Remote control surfing may be the thing for you....all of the fun of surfing and none of that pesky physical activity to get in the way.

Beaver Spotted
Just saw this headline on the Yahoo! frontpage:
Beaver spotted in New York City for first time in 200 years
I thought, uh oh. Looks like Britney's left rehab again.

I'm a Fu*king Soldier......with a Boo Boo.
Everybody's least favorite tight end Kellen Winslow appears to be headed for another long recovery from microfracture surgery on his right knee.
I can honestly say that I don't usually get too annoyed with athletes when they make grandiose statements regarding the importance of their sport in the grand scheme of things. I understand that in many ways, sports have become one of the only things that truly unites broad sections of our society. Whether you are black, white, Asian, Hispanic or some other race that I can't think of, you are likely to be a fan of one of the major professional sports. So the importance of these sports, and the seriousness with which the athletes approach the games are something that I can usually respect. Like it or not, their actions will be remembered by fans like us for years to come, and it is easy to see how athletes and fans alike can get swept up into the heat of the moment.
But then Kellen Winslow Jr. made these stupid statements:
I always had a certain degree of contempt for the U, but this really let me know that some athletes just don't get it. (That is the University of Miami for all of you not in the know, but then again, I don't think people who aren't in the know tend to read brilliant blogs such as Inappropriate Hugs. I digress.) We want you to take your sports seriously, and we want you to represent your school and/or your city to its fullest, but please, you aren't a soldier, and despite what you say, a game is not war.
I'm not speaking from experience, as I have never served in the military, but I always thought that if I had ever served, Kellen Winslow would be the American I was least excited to be fighting for.
So I was morbidly happy when this fool broke his leg three games into his rookie season with the Browns. (As an aside, could you possibly think of a worse team to be a fan of than the Cleveland Browns? Ugly uniforms, your "real team" left you years ago to go to Baltimore, and for Chrissakes, you are living in Cleveland.)
I was even more delighted when he crashed his motorcycle in a parking lot in 2005, and required major surgery on his leg. I like to think that the doctor who was treating him was a former Marine, and made sure to use some dirty instruments to guarantee that Private Winslow got a staph infection that laid him up for an extra six weeks.
Now he is going to be on the shelf for about 4 months recovering from this most recent surgery. Karma really is giving this guy a beating over those dumb comments he made back in 2003.
The takeaway of all this? The only Winslow you should like is Carl Winslow:

Maybe the Surround Sound System Was a Bit Much
Fellas, you need to use your discretion when you decide to blast the sounds of your favorite adult movie throughout your house. Why you ask?
Because a guy with a sword might come to do some investigating.
Something to ponder...

You know how men, usually allow woman off the elevator first, or open the door and allow woman to go first? Woman think it is because we are being gentemanly, but in actuality, little do they know we are just sick sexually deviant perverts, using our "gentlemaness" as an excuse to check out their asses! Young, old, fat, flat, whatever, we always gotta look...well at least I do. i a ma sick sick pervert, and i love it!
NBA Trade Deadline
An hour and 20mins left until the deadline. Will any moves be made? Kidd, Carter, Gasol, Bibby? who (if any of them) will be moved?
Trades so far today:
Mavs trade Anthony Johnson to the Hawks for a 2007 2nd round pick
Blazers send Juan Dixon to the Raptors for Fred Jones
I have a feeling this trade deadline will be another dud. (when was the last memorable one?)
Who gives a shit..
Egomaniac Curt Schilling announced he is filing for free agency... NEXT YEAR... Another attempt by "Red Light" Curt to get his name in the papers and keep Dice-K's out... what a douch.
Prince HArry Goin to Iraq---Finally a real man who should be on a throne!
LONDON (AP) -- Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is getting his wish to serve in Iraq. The Ministry of Defense ended speculation that had been swirling for about a week by announcing Thursday the 22-year-old prince will be sent to Iraq with his Blues and Royals regiment in May or June. Harry, a second lieutenant, will assume a troop commander's role.
Prime Minister Tony Blair said Wednesday that British troop deployments will be cut by 1,600 in the coming months and that all bases except for Basra Palace and Basra Air Base will be handed over to Iraqi forces.
The narrowing of the British presence to the two locations in southern Iraq will mean any insurgent groups looking to target Troop Commander Wales -- as he is known to his colleagues -- will not have to look far to find him. That has led to some concern that his presence could bring an extra risk to his fellow soldiers.
He will lead a team of 12 men in four armored reconnaissance vehicles, and could become the first royal to see combat since his uncle Prince Andrew served in the Falklands war against Argentina in 1982.
The son of the late Princess Diana, Harry has been a frequent face on the front of Britain's tabloid newspapers, which have provided a constant stream of coverage of his party-going lifestyle at some of London's liveliest nightspots.
He has also acknowledged drinking before being of legal age and smoking marijuana. In January 2006, he issued an apology after being pictured in a newspaper at a costume party dressed as a Nazi, including a swastika armband.
But he has been serious about is joining ''my boys'' in Iraq. After graduating from Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, he insisted on getting the opportunity to serve his country.
''There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country,'' he said in an interview to mark his 21st birthday. ''That may sound very patriotic, but it's true.''
The ministry has previously said that Harry could be kept out of situations where his presence could jeopardize his comrades.
Military experts were divided over whether Harry's presence would make the situation more dangerous for his comrades.
''I don't think your average fellow officer will care that much,'' said Amyas Godfrey, a military expert at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank. ''There needs to be more consideration with him because of the media interest, but it won't be a burden.''
But Michael Clarke, a professor of war studies at King's College University in London, said it was likely insurgent groups would be attracted to Harry's unit.
''In a sense, his celebrity might be a factor in making the security situation for his troop more dangerous,'' he said, though he added that banning Harry from going to Iraq would have done more harm than good.
''He would be appalled if his troop went to do something without his command and they would be too,'' Clarke said. ''If he didn't go, it would be very bad for the morale of the troop. It's like a family.''
In joining the military, Harry followed a royal tradition. His father, Prince Charles, was a pilot with the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, and a ship commander, and Harry's grandfather, Prince Philip, had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy during World War II.
Prince Andrew was a Royal Navy pilot.

American Idol Idiot Whore Bag
Maybe the Knicks can make the Playoffs after all...
With Wade crying in a wheelchair and the Nets looking to trade Carter or Kidd and otherwise looking pretty uninspired, maybe Isiah will take the Knicks to the promised land in a miserable Eastern Conference. Which I guess will be considered a "success". Which I guess will mean he keeps his job. Which I guess will mean I won't be a fan again anytime soon. Ugh.
ARod Cracks Under Pressure...Pulls a Britney
My retired father drove all the way to Tampa last night from Boynton Beach, Florida so he could check out some of the Yankees spring training. He sent me this photo this morning, and frankly, I'm shocked. He said that ARod was wailing and crying, screaming, "Why won't Jeets love me? Why???!?! I try so hard, but he won't sleep over my house anymore!!!"
