4-Way Clusterfuck

I've been sitting on this one for a while and I have finally seen enough. Why is it that at every 4-way stop people lose all knowledge of the road and just do whatever they want? 4-way stops were designed to control intersections, not just drive through because you have a big truck or a nice car.

When you come to a 4-way its not too difficult to understand the rules or rule which is primarily: Wait your fucking turn. You do not follow the person in front of you through the intersection. You do not pull up, tap your brakes, then continue. You do not try to turn when there is a car in front of you and then give the driver a dirty look. Asshole. I swear people are complete fucktards. Just once I would like to come to a 4-way stop and have people drive normally.

The other issue is when people do not know when it is their turn to go. Its not that hard to figure out. First person to get there goes. If 2 people get there at the same time, the person to the right goes, hence right-of-way. Just once I would like to go through a 4-way stop without the urge to kill the person in front of me. Fuck I hate people.

Why Are Jews So Funny?

I've always thought that there were a high number of Jewish comedians on TV and in the movies, but a recent trip to Wikipedia made my head spin. There were over 100 of the most famous comedians of all time. Some I already knew, such as Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, The Marx Brothers, and Mel Brooks. But others surprised me. I never new Jason Alexander, Adrew Dice Clay, or Lorne Michaels were Jewish. It boggles the mind how many of them are there. It begs the question, why are there so many and why are they so funny?

You would think that after all the shit the Jews have had to put up with over the years, from being slaves, to being persecuted as "Christ Killers" and most recently the Holocaust, you would think they would be depressed or angry. Yet here are all of these great names in showbiz history that have made us laugh over the years.

Some of them have made careers out of being Jewish, Seinfeld and Sandler come to mind. And yet others seem to suppress it for whatever reason. Many of these names found their fame in self-deprecation humour. I think the reason for this is because us non-Jews would feel uncomfortable laughing at a Jew unless he was also laughing at himself. Otherwise people would view it as racist or at the least tasteless. The same could be said for black comics.

So I haven't really answered my questions yet but fuck it, I doubt I ever will be able to. And who really cares? The more funny we have in this world the better. Except for women comics. 99.9999% of them are terrible. Terrible like Ryan Leaf.

Grab Bag

So the poll results are in. It appears we have a split decision in the crowd regarding Stella and whether or not it tastes like shit. I say split decision because the extra yes vote is mine, since you were able to choose more than one answer, I selected yes twice. I just trying to figure out who the extra person is since I am guessing the voting went like this: Jordan, Lindsey and I were Yes and Stephen and Riley were NO. Now I don't know who the extra person is, unless someone voted yes and no.

As for the other vote, it is unanimous: Brewers change the taste of beers to suit local tastes. I once again provided the extra Yes vote at the bottom. So now I am looking for two extra people because I don't think Riley voted at all. If he did then he is a fucking hypocrite.

Glory Glory Man United!!!
That game was scary, but count on Scholes to carry the day. That goal brought back memories of his old form, and FIFA 2004 when he scored every game I played. That was an amazing shot, after an even more amazing play by Zambrotta. This sets up a real doozy of a Champions League final. First off its the first all-English final ever. That in itself is awesome. But its the teams involved that will make it special. If Liverpool triumph's today, then it will set up one of the greatest rivalries in all of football for a no holds-barred Final in Moscow. These two teams historically hate each other, and the fans more so. Could get ugly in the streets of Moscow.

But if Chelsea wins, it will be just as spectacular. ManU and Chelsea are neck and neck in the Premiership, though ManU holds the advantage on goal differential. A ManU/Chelsea final will give both teams the opportunity to go for the double Chelsea now has a legitimate shot at robbing ManU of any hardware this season when only a couple of weeks ago it looked as if all ManU had to do was show up and it would capture the double. I'm still calling on ManU to take the Premiership and Champions League although there are in tough. Chelsea has the psychological advantage after beating ManU last weekend. You can't ask for a better finish to the season.

Many people predicted a San Jose and Montreal final for the Stanley Cup before the playoffs started. Now it looks more like it will be a Pittsburgh/Detroit final. In the West, San Jose and Colorado are done. It is virtually impossible to come back from 3-0. In the West Final Detroit will beat Dallas in 6. Detroit has more speed and skill, though I think Dallas has the advantage in goal.

As for the East, Pittsburgh will be through to the East Finals against....I don't know who. Montreal is only down 2-1 to Philly but Philly looks to be in control. Carey Price had a phenomenal first round but has cooled off tremendously. He will pick it up though. That game will go to the 7th game and I believe Philly will take it simply because they will work harder than Montreal. That and Philly finally has a decent goalie in Biron, well for these playoffs at least.

In the Final I see Detroit beating Philly in 6 to take the cup.

Sean Avery is out for the season with a lacerated spleen. Not sure how it happened. As much as I dislike the guy, I don't want him dead. But still, HAHAHA. Now take as much time off as you need you big baby. I just wish Laraque would have beaten the shit out of him to take him down a peg.

If team Ukraine, AKA Riley's team, makes it to the World Cup Finals on Saturday I expect a few things: 1. We are going. 2. We are going pissed. 3. We are going dressed up. (We being, well you know who you are). If Ukraine doesn't make it I think we should still go because it will be a good game. If not then we should at least get hammered. I've been hankering for a binge for a while.

I think that's it for now. Send your questions, comments, queries or concerns to the comments section.

So Tomorrow...Again

Tomorrow is the big day gaming fans. The much anticipated and vigorously (read: not at all) advertised GTA IV is being released tonight at midnight. It is predicted to sell 9 million copies in its first week and shatter the record set by Halo 3 last fall. (Thats right I get my gaming fix from CBC). My question to you is how many of you are going to pick it up tonight at Midnight? How many of you are going to buy it tomorrow? And, how many of you are going to spend the next week in your basement playing GTA IV? I probably would be, but I'm gonna wait until I get home.

BTW, does anyone know if there is gonna be online co-op? I can't wait for more 1 on 1 basketball games.

Tomorrow

So the NFL Draft is tomorrow. How many of you fucktards are going to sit in front of the TV and your computers all day to watch it? I don't know how anyone can watch it. Its so fucking boring. First off the teams have 30 min to make a pick. How do you not know who you are going to pick? You have months to decide. I bet even Miami will sit there for about 28 minutes even though they have already signed somebody, just cause they can. (Now that he's signed, can they draft somebody else, or do you have to be drafted to play in the NFL?)

Then you have to sit there and listen to the commentators speculate on everyone after each pick. They say the same things and show the same footage of them playing. Then you get the great shots of the players sitting in their living rooms with about 50 people all wearing t-shirts with his name on it.

Why would sit and watch the draft for 10 hours when you can check the results online after it is done and learn what happened in about 5 minutes? It's beyond me.

Beerfest

In light of the recent controversy surrounding some comments on one of the previous posts, I have decided to put up a poll relating to beer.

Actually there will be 2: Do companies change beers to suit local tastes? and Does Stella Artois taste like shit, regardless of location?

Future poll suggestions would be appreciated.
