Top 5 Sport Upsets of All Time

March 23, 2010 in Humor with 0 Comments

This year’s March Madness has been out of control. There have been way too many upsets for anyone’s comfort. Fortunately, my pick to win (Kentucky) is still in, but who know what will happen next.

In honor of the crazy tournament, I have decided to give you the top 5 upsets in sports. Am I a professional sports writer? No. Do I like sports? Yes. Do I like them and know enough about them to make a credible list? No. But you can offer suggestions in the comments section if you want to see some changes…

5) The 2004 ALCS: The Red Sox, still living under the 84 year old curse of the Bambino, became the first team in Baseball History to win a 7 game series after losing the first 3 games. The Red Sox would later go on to sweep the World Series.

Trademarking the Plate Jump Finish

4) The 2008 Super Bowl- The New England Patriots entered the Super Bowl with an 18-0 record, ready to become the first 19 win team in NFL history. But the 11th seed Giants had other plans, and then had one of the most insane drives in football history (that included this incredible catch) to win the game.

Not sure how he held on to this

3) Appalachian State over Michigan in 2007- This game marked the beginning of one of the craziest college football seasons in history. Appalachian State, a Division I-AA football team, defeated the number 5 team in the country 34-32 by blocking two field goals at the end of the game. The 110,000 Michigan fans who were at the game are still in shock.

Unbelievable.

2) 1980 Miracle on Ice- The country cheered as one louder than ever before when the USA Hockey team took down the then giant Soviet Union. They even made a movie about it!

USA! All the Way!!!

1) The Looney Tunes over the Monstars- The Monstars had stolen all of the premier talent from the NBA and were poised to destroy Bugs, Daffy, and even Tweety. But there were two things they didn’t have: Michael Jordan, and that water bottle with Michael’s secret stuff in it.

Bugs is an inspiration to us all

Commercial Making Dynasties #3

March 18, 2010 in Humor, Videos with 0 Comments

It is time for some more great commercials. Remember, to be a commercial making dynasty, you need to consistently make good commercials over a span of several years. Click the following links to find out who Number 1 and Number 2 are.

For this week, we move into the fast food industry: Burger King. Their commercials are certainly quirky, but they are also hilarious. I have a feeling some people may not appreciate their sense of humor, but I love it.

Here is the first commercial. It is all about chicken fries…

And who could forget the Burger King Man? The most awkward individual to grace commercial land in history. You never know when he will show up to offer you his new favorite sandwich.

Here we see the legendary Burger King Man using some incredible moves for 6 points:

And the most recent, their tiny hands campaign. I am convinced that tiny hands makes everything funnier.

So what do you think? Do you love or hate Burger King’s commercials? And who else do you think should be mentioned next week?

Goats: The New Dog

March 14, 2010 in Humor with 0 Comments

It’s Monday, and you need something to talk about around the water cooler. Time for another crazy news story!

Tired of having a pet animal that you can’t milk and won’t eat your old cans? Look no further than the latest craze that is sweeping the nation: mini-goats.

Apparently, mini-goats are pretty smart and make great pets. You can walk them on a leash, they answer by name, and they produce delicious cheese. While some narrow minds think the goat is just another piece of livestock, others are pleading the cause of the pet goat.

Sure, they may smell and be a little loud, but they look so cute with that big bell on.

So what do you think? Would you want to have a couple of goats of your own (you should have at least two, they are herd animals and like company after all)? Or would you complain about your neighbors when they get their own pet goats? If you want more info, you can click the above picture to be taken to the original story.

Hilarious News Story of the Week #2

March 8, 2010 in Humor with 0 Comments

Well everyone, I have big news.

A new world record has been created. Shouts of joy filled the Earth on March 5, because a record this monumental has not happened since Michael Phelps won his 2 millionth gold medal.

You guessed it, the largest number of people wearing Snuggies in one area is now 20,000!!!!!

Snuggie_Burgandy_1000

That’s right, the beloved blanket with sleeves has made it to the big leagues. It is no longer just a comfort for people who are sitting on their couch at home, it can be taken anywhere! Like the Cleveland Caveliers game this past weekend, where a huge crowd of over 20,000 celebrated their love for basketball by all wearing snuggies together. You can see the full story here: ESPN.

Rumors are circulating that LeBron James will drop all of his current endorsements and focus on the Snuggie, but no one knows for sure yet.

So, be honest, who out there has a snuggie? I do!

Hilarious News Story of the Week #1

February 19, 2010 in Humor with 0 Comments

So there was a really funny event yesterday in the news and it makes me want to blog about funny news stories every week. We’ll see if it happens.
Yesterday, a zebra escaped from the Circus and ran loose on 85 in downtown Atlanta. Fortunately, Atlanta does not have bad traffic so it wasn’t an issue. Oh, wait, Atlanta has some of the worst traffic in the world.
This are the two best videos I could find. You can see the traffic in the second video:

Could this spawn a sequel to Racing Stripes? Let’s hope not.

Scrubby Valentine’s Day Moves

February 11, 2010 in Humor with 0 Comments

So, just in time for Valentine’s Day I have a few things a scrubby boyfriend may do on Valentine’s Day. Ladies, if your boyfriend does something like this, it’s time to dump him like he’s hot.

1) Takes you on a “romantic” date to see The Wolfman.

2) Buys you a video game, such as Medal of Honor, you can play “together.”

3) Takes you to McDonald’s for dinner. Since it is a special occasion, he lets you supersize the meal.

4) Gives you the teddy bear his ex-girlfriend gave him two years before.

5) Gives you a box of chocolates. With chocolates missing.

6) Tells you to dress up nice for your big date, and shows up in a t-shirt tuxedo. (Actually, if he does this, you should marry him right away).

Top 5 Secret Talents

November 11, 2009 in Humor with 0 Comments

I have some hidden talents, and they are pretty incredible. Pretty incredibly useless, that is. But, if any of the following things become a professional sport someday, I would certainly be one of the world class athletes of our generation.

5) Terrible Puns: There is no pun I won’t make. And they are always intended.

4) Egyptian Rat Slap: This is a card game where you try and collect other people’s cards. I literally had a two year win streak in this game throughout high school. If this ever takes off the same way World Series of Poker has, you can catch me on ESPN the Ocho.

3) My tongue: My tongue can do this.Photo 63 If you want to know how it is done, I have some sad news. This is a skill you must be born into. All natural baby!

2) Musical Chairs: Throughout my entire life, I have never placed worse than 3rd in musical chairs. It is a difficult game that requires cunning, agility, and the ability to sit down. Fortunately, there is no requirement to keep a beat, in which case I would always lose. I am still waiting on my big shoe contract for this ability.

My most recent competition, which happened in Fiji (road victory!). I finished as the undisputed winner.

1) Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine: This legendary title from the Sega Genesis reveals my most unstoppable talent. If you have never played the game, you have wasted your life. It is kind of like Tetris, but you play against another person (or one of Dr. Robotnik’s evil minions). Once you link 4 or more beans of the same color, they will disappear. But, if you make more than 4 disappear on one turn, you will send rocks to the other player that are difficult to remove. Whoever runs out of room first, loses.

Here is the first level of the game so you can get an idea of how the game works

And here is the final level of the game, so you know my skill level

I am unstoppable at this game, and if you win one out of 10 games against me it is about as impressive and lucky as you will get. If you have a Nintendo Wii, download it from the online store and practice for 6 months. Then maybe you can challenge me. But you will still lose. No offense or anything, but facts are facts.

I am not 17!

October 28, 2009 in Humor with 0 Comments

Apparently I have not aged since middle school.

In 8th grade, I was the same height I am now (6’1″). People would ask me all the time if I was a junior or senior in high school. I used to be pretty proud of that. But now, at the age of 23, I still get asked the same question all the time!

How many 17 year olds do you know who have:
1) Graduated from College

2) Gotten Married

For reference, I have also included the following pics
3) Middle schoolish

4) Senior year of high school (when I actually was 17 or 18)
Senior year of High school in Russia
5) College
College years at GA/FL

Clearly, I am no longer 17. But I guess I just have a young face. I have tried growing a beard, but all I can seem to do is get a hairy neck (or, neard, as some call it). What really bothers me is shopping for shorts. I happen to have a small waistline. When I look for shorts in my size, all I can find are cargo shorts because people automatically assume that if my waist is that small I should be 15 and only wear cargo shorts. I have nothing against cargo shorts, but there are days when I would like to wear knee length pants without 12 pockets on them.

So if you see me, don’t tell me I look 17. (Actually, I don’t really care. I know I look strikingly similar in my wedding picture and my senior year picture. But hey, you have to blog about something). The real question is, will I ever age? And if so, when? Will I be a middle aged man with 3 kids when people stop guessing my age is 17? Or will I be a grandfather who is forced to wear nothing but cargo shorts? Only time will tell.

Hello. Here is a video of us working in the office. Random. Pointless. But maybe interesting…
