Twitter Guessers Aren’t Real

/ Idyt / Leave a comment

giants-tweet

If you want to be internet famous, and who doesn’t, all you gotta do is Twitter predict some wildly improbably event with uncanny specificity, and then have that wildly improbable event actually happen, specifically as you uncannily predicted.  If you can do that, you will go viral on the Internets, the secret dream of everyone these days. 

The latest Nostradamus is @FanuteGod who tweeted back in April that the Giants would go 11-5 and only lose to the Eagles, Redskins, Steelers, Vikings and Packers.  Assuming the Giants beat the Redskins next weekend, this prediction will be dead on balls accurate.  The odds of predicting the Giants’ EXACT win-loss record, and who they would lose to this season, are somewhere between the odds of IJ not drinking a beer today and Gramps ever voting for a Democrat, and by that I mean damn near impossible.

What is the Penalty Situation Here?

/ Idyt / 1 Comment

The obvious question is whether his guy is alive or dead, and how many of his buddies died trying to save him.  But what I want to know is what the penalty is here?  Shouldn’t it be a penalty to even end up in the middle of the pond like that, regardless of the fact that it is frozen?  Otherwise, you could just play right through frozen lakes and ponds, which is probably what he was doing here.  And is it a stroke if you completely miss the ball, and then fall and die?  I assume that is a stroke, but maybe there is a death exception.  How would you even find out something like that?

“We Are The World” – a Definitive History

/ Idyt / Leave a comment

In one of the premiere blogs of 2016, on this site or any other, I extensively documented how Prince was AWOL from USA for Africa.  Then yesterday, I keenly noted how Bob Dylan Snubbed the Nobel Prize but Showed Up for USA for Africa.  Well, the history of We Are The World would not be complete without covering the 2010 remake to raise awareness of the disaster in Haiti, and then SNL’s We are the World 3, to raise awareness of the disaster that was We Are The World 2.

Fake News Is Nothing New

They are out here saying that the Russians and so-called “fake news” decided the election in favor of a thrice married racist and misogynist reality TV star being sued for fraud over a kindly grandmother guilty of faithfully serving this country for the last 30 years.  Well, I may or may not cover the Russian angle at some point, but the fake news is a real thing you guys, and most certainly decided the election.  As the premier blogger here, I must point out that this is nothing new.  You people have been doing this shit at least since President Obama was elected.

Bob Dylan Snubbed the Nobel Prize but Showed Up for USA for Africa

/ Idyt / Leave a comment

If you followed the news this year, and I did, probably the biggest story of the year was Bob Dylan snubbing his Nobel Prize.  The Nobel Prize, apparently, is not just for bringing peace to the world, like President Obama did when he got elected and never did anything, and still got the award.  But the Nobel Prize is for other things too, like Literature, Chemistry and other stuff you can google for yourself because that’s all I know.  Anyway, the Swedes granted Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature for his song lyrics from a hundred years ago.  When the awards were announced, Dylan did not respond, or even acknowledge it, and just gave the Nobel people a giant double freedom rocket and GFY.  Just completely AWOL for the award, like Prince for USA for Africa.  But Dylan showed up for “USA FOR AFRICA” back in the 80’s because he is a GODDAMN PATRIOT.

Trump is Gonna Get Us All Killed, You Guys

Your president-elect was up early this morning tweeting, per usual.  China grabbed a Navy drone operating in the South China Sea, which may have been monitoring sea temperature, or maybe monitoring Chinese submarines.  Who really knows.  Well, whatever, it is definitely a situation, and Trump just had to weigh in by blasting a tweet out to the entire world.  

Like so many times over the last year and half, Trump’s tweet will define the news coverage for the next couple days, he will get all kinds of attention and press coverage.  I’ve been pretty quiet the last month while I licked my wounds and S[hook]MH, but Jesus H Fucking Christ you guys, Trump is gonna get us all killed.  Seriously.

Sup with Madonna’s Ass?

If you have watched the news in 2016, and I have, I am sure you would agree that the biggest story of the year has probably been Madonna’s ass.  Dat 2016 Madonna ass has been all over the place.  Most recently, the issue is whether Madonna, at the tender age of 58, has some new butt implants.  I didn’t even know that was a thing until a couple years ago when I learned of such things on a trip to South Florida.  But that is a story for another day, and by that I mean never.  Anyway, as the premiere blogger on the older smokes, and in particular the blonde older smokes, I gotta report the situation.  I report, you decide.
