Art's Flip Out of the Week

Flying purse of death,
Full of pills and bingo cards,
Oops I crapped my pants.

Really?

I quit watching SportsCenter cause all the hype, sob stories and lack of highlights piss me off. The one day I decide to tune in that is the commercial I see. I know they are courting the NASCAR market, but that was the add? Come on.

If you are in the need get you anti monkey butt power here.


Oh yeah and the anti monkey butt dude looks like he can fit right in as a classy person of the week.

IRB's Classy People of the Week: June 20th

This week's classy people of the week are a group near and dear to my heart: people who can't meet deadlines.

Usually deadlines are set to keep people productive and keep creativity flowing. This is done to get things done. Sometimes deadlines aren't met.

Unofficial deadlines tend to not be met more often than they actually are met (see: blogging).

So this week, I'll highlight a few classy people who can't meet deadlines:

Chet. Has posted about 50% of the time.

Walter. Nearly always posts, although they're usually late.

CFP. Disappeared for about 6 weeks. No post this week.

Myself. Late this week, depressed because of it.

Yea, so I really mailed this one in. At least I made a post.

Happy weekend. Boss is gone, huzzah!

Slip n slide

Walter- As a Met fan, shouldn't you be more embarrassed of your fans chanting "Let's go Rangers" during their game over the weekend?

Lightning Bolt of the Week

As a Met fan - I'm embarrassed. That's about all I can say.



I can understand why Willie got fired - he never got the team to recover from last year's epic collapse - see level II.

The team has vastly underacheived this year with the amount of talent they have - espically considering they have all the key pieces from being one game away from the world series two years ago, and killing everyone last year until the last 3 weeks of the season - and they added Johan Santana - one of the most dominant pitchers in the game. Something had to give here, especially in New York where to media and fan pressure was turned up to high. Fans have been chanting "fire Willie" at Shea.

With all that said - why fire him at 3am, in Los Angeles (errr Anaheim)? It just makes no sense at all - I've never heard of anything like it. It makes my beloved Mets seem like a low-class, low-rent organization. Not only is it just a bad way to do business, it gives the media fodder to run with the crazy way they fired him instead of the reasons why.

Dance of the Week

Short and sweet.  Word of advise:  make sure your spotters actually spot you.

Score = DNQ

Even Sweeter Jesus... bonus golf!!

After a long day that saw Tiger looking rough on the last few holes, he hits this birdie putt to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate, who looked great today, while having the time of his life.



Gotta find a way to sneak to a TV tomorrow afternoon, as the playoff starts at 12 noon EST. Why not play it later so people can watch, and make tons of money in advertisements?

Edit: Yippie! Coverage is live on ESPN and ESPN360

Sweet jesus

If you haven't seen this yet, I can't believe you're reading it here.



Final round tees off at 4:30 Eastern on NBC.

Amazing.

Jail cell smells of sex.
Two men. Ravenous. Grunting.
The blood and sweat mix.

IRB's Classy People of the Week: June 12th

This week's classy people of the week are a group of people that had their prime about 40 years ago but won't go away. Before you get angry and tell me that we still need people fighting for civil rights, hold your horses. I'm talking about hippies. Hippies are quite dirtyclassy, and I think I'll convince you in the next few paragraphs.

Here are some reasons hippies are classy:

1) Tie-dye



Now I enjoy a psychedelic t-shirt as much as the next person. However, hippies take the shit to a "high"er level. And we all know that nothing matches a tie-dye shirt better than a headband.

2) Not showering



Now I understand that we should conserve resources. That's why I drive 20 mph on the highway and I reuse condoms. However, personal hygiene is extraordinarily important in today's society, even if you do want to work at Ben and Jerry's.

3) Driving across the country in a psychedelic van



Nothing is better than a spiritual quest. Especially when you cram in a bus with a bunch of other people who don't shower and trip balls for 2 straight weeks, which leads me to...

4) Drugs



Hippies love to expand their thoughts, possibly trying to come up with words for new colors, or new words for colors that already exist. Typical drugs ingested include weed, acid, and mushrooms. There is a direct correlation between drug intake and grunginess.

5) Protests



By protesting, hippies have a way of annoying the rest of the world when they aren't eating vegetarian burritos. When combined with working to stop drug bans, hippies are at their happiest. If not protesting for drugs, hippies will protest war so that they can have a love-in.

6) Not shaving



Hippies love beards. She-hippies love pit hair.

At the end of the day I have to say all these things make hippies seem quite classy. It also seems Chet may be a hippie.

What do you think?
