Daily Hip-Hop News:
Hip-Hop Saves The Cognac Liquor Industry
written by Carl Chery
Friday - July 18, 2003
"We weren't expecting cognac to be associated with those type of people," said Jean-Marie Macoin, a 55 year-old Cognac producer after viewing Busta Rhymes' "Pass The Courvousier" music video. To the mortification of many in the close-knit Cognac industry, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z and the Hip-Hop community have helped to resurrect a perishing Cognac industry with an ongoing obsession for lyrics praising Courvoisier and Hennessy.
To most, Cognac symbolizes getting wasted - a far reach from the ideals of the small French community of approximately 20,000 where Hip-Hop's favorite liquor originates. An economic crisis in 1998 caused Cognac's #1 market, Asia, to dramatically reduce demand for the liquor -- almost wiping out the Cognac industry. But it was rappers who eventually brought the bottle back to life.
Emcees as diverse as Common and Snoop have long lauded Cognac as a drink of choice, with more recent references in last year's hit single Pass The Courvoisier which featured a video showcasing Busta, Pharrell and P. Diddy partying it up in a bar filled with beautiful women and hundreds of gleaming bottles of Courvoisier. Songs like "Courvoisier" have produced a following among urban youths, who have been known to mix the liquor for new concoctions such as "Thug Passion" and "French Connection." Jay's newly opened 40/40 Club even includes a "Remy Room" in salute to Remy Martin, his favorite Cognac brand. "Cognac is a classy, sophisticated and really smooth thing to drink," Jay-Z told The Wall Street Journal.
The Cognac industry is now prospering thanks to nearly tripled Cognac exportations to the U.S. in the last 10 years. Furthermore, Americans have spent approximately $1 billion on the French liquor last year. Interestingly, Cognac's surging U.S. sales are parallel to Hip Hop's mainstream growth. Americans imported 3.7 million cases of Cognac last year, 36% of the worldwide market compared to 1.3 million in 1993. According to the Wall Street Journal, Hennessy, America's biggest Cognac brand with 53% of the market, claims that young blacks represent 60% to 85% of U.S. sales.
Though America's infatuation with Cognac has salvaged its industry, the flip side is that French grape growers responsible for Cognac are dumbfounded upon witnessing rap's use of the brand. "It's not quite the same world," Anne-Sophie Louvet, a 44-year-old woman who cultivates her great-grandfather's 113-year-old vineyards told the Wall Street Journal. "In this region, you don't show your wealth if you have some, and you don't talk about money," she added.
Last April, Courvoisier took steps to educate 900 farmers on the U.S. Market, part of the lesson featured a presentation of the aforementioned Pass the Courvoisier video. "They didn't know what to make of it, a Courvoisier spokewoman told the Wall Street Journal regarding the farmers' extreme shock. In hopes to further familiarize themselves with their biggest consumers, Hennessy will fly half a dozen grape growers to tour New York City night clubs this fall where they will get a chance to get lifted Hip-Hop style.
In other news, the latest shot in the France-U.S. Cold War.
I'm out. Memo to Chaz: hopefully there are no pop ups here.
So until next time, KEEP ALL HANDS AND FEET INSIDE THE GODDAMN CART. Thank you.

So I'm listening to this mp3 I jacked while I was at college. I originally thought it was a cover of The Emotions "Blind Alley" (the same song Big Daddy Kane used to make his classic "Ain't No Half-Steppin'") but it's this CBS radio show entitled "The Whistler."
I usually skipped it when it came up on WinAmp Roulette, but this time I decided to listen to it. Kinda "Twilight Zone"-esque.
Work was boring as hell, but that's the status quo on Mondays. I got off at 2:30, so that was nice. Watched RAW on tape delay. I'll avoid the obvious jokes (but maybe it'll light a fire under J.R.'s ass! *rimshot*) but I thought it was pretty good. They did a nice job the entire night on building the story that Austin is making it dangerous for the RAW superstars ever since he's "motivated" Kane to be the monster he once was.
I know some folks think it was tacky for Kane to set J.R. on fire, but it works in the sense that Kane wants others to feel his pain, even if his scars are non-exsistent. It's a good way to turn him heel and it rebuilds him after the whole Katie Vick debacle.
But hey: I could be wrong. Smackdown should be fun. I wish Eddy/Ultimo would have wrestled a better match last week, but they'll lock up again somewhere down the line.
Well, I'm down with the XFLaPa fantasy football league. Ska is running thangs (while Chaz reps the USFL aPa league.) Hopefully I will do better in this than baseball, but no guarantees.
Until next time, KEEP ALL YOUR GODDAMN HANDS AND FEET INSIDE THE GODDAMN GOLF CART. Thank you.

There are a lot of kids that come to the casino these days, so there ya go.
Oh, and a message to those who come: DON'T FORGET TO FUCKING TIP YOU ASSHOLES. I took three kids to their car. They had won over $3500 each but guess what? NO TIP!
Just a reminder, or else we jackin' next time, homes.

NP: 50 Cent featuring The Notorious B.I.G. - "The Realest". Still missin' you Big.
And as we PROCEED, welcome to a big time update. I finally (FINALLY) have a day off so I can get a chance to breathe and relax. As I realized last night, I had worked seven days in a row, six hours or longer. Add into the equation they're basically graveyard shifts, and I am one tired man.
I thought we would get killed Friday and Saturday, but no. We were busy, but not totally slammed like myself and several other of my co-workers thought we would be. The nights weren't without incident though. Friday we had a almost fight with some black folks and a Suquamish kid, but it was handled without calling the SPD or any other authorities. Yesterday was the interesting day.
About 1:30 in the a.m., a group of drunks came out to go home. Lots of loud talking, yelling, swearing blah blah blah. This one chick was going on and on about her purse and how she couldn't find it (besides bitching about the service; like any of the servers want to put up with ya drunk ass, you dumb bitch), another chick in a black tank top went back in to find her friend and another chick lost her coat. Several minutes went past before they finally found her purse and we finally left (not before one guy kept yelling to the fat security guard "Hey that girl in the black tank top wants your number!"), but I stopped to make sure we had everyone. Instead I was screamed at to go on.
As we went to the third level, two more people got off to find someone again, so now I only had three people to take. They did tip me (which almost always happens with drunk folks if you're cool to them) and I go back to the 4th level.
Well, that chick is still at the door and she's STILL going on and on about her purse and now her coat is missing again. She keeps yelling at me to find her purse, where is my coat, blah blah blah. I simply ignore her and go to the bathroom. Come back and I have to drop off some other people, but as I come back, one of the security guards wants a ride down. Apparently the rest of the group that was left behind went with the other late night cart driver and was flashing everyone in sight, even jumping onto the driver and grinding him. I would have been jealous, but she was fat and gross, so I'm not mad.
We head down to try and find them, hook up with the SPD officer who was called in, nearly get hit by some punk ass kid (another close call that makes me want to ask my boss for life insurance) and make it to the bottom but no flasher. So we head all the way up to the seventh level and meet up with the cop who was originally called in because someone was doing donuts on the top. We shot the shit for a minute, then went back down. No sign, as they have left the building.
The "Dumbass Award Of The Night" goes to these older gents who I had taken up to the casino. They were really cool, but as I found out, they were hammered. So they were given a choice to eat something, get a cab home, or be called in as a DUI.
If you chose "Get called in as a DUI," YOU WIN A PRIIIIIIIIIZE! I think they thought they were gonna be able to make it home, but with the number of cops out on a Saturday night, the odds were not in their favor.
I still had to watch out for some of my co-workers speeding around the garage with people. We've been getting better, but one guy was still being irresponsible. He even laughed at my boss when he was confronted about it. He was lucky Britt's one of the coolest 35 year olds I know (and a very nice guy on top of that) or otherwise he would have been fired on the spot AND have his ass kicked. Lord knows I would have done it.
The only thing that sucks about the job (aside from the people who can't speak English to tell me where their car is and the always annoying "golf club jokes") are the aforementioned graveyard hours. Getting out at 6 a.m. isn't fun, especially when I have to hang out and wait for lifers to stop their gambling and leave.
No movement on the "Get Johnny B A Girlfriend Foundation" yet but do stay tuned.
BESIBOL HAS NOT BEEN BERRY BERRY GOOD TO ME:
My fantasy team is slowly going downhill. Injuries are doing me in (I've had to drop 4 people already for season ending injuries) and I may have to drop Vizquel and Mondesi if they can't recover. Thankfully Johnson and Piazza are coming back soon, but not soon enough.
Is football here yet? I've already signed up for Rob's league and I did reasonably well, but who knows. One thing for sure is that Hasselbeck, like 50 Cent, is the future. :)
QUICK HITZ:
-Go here for some good sites.
-CUSTOMERS FUCKING SUCK!
-Man, this BANZAI show kicks ass. "Interesting Penalty Shootout Conundrum" is brilliance, pure and simple.
-So my brother called me to tell me that LXG sucked major dick. Very sad news, but from what I read about on IMDB's news section Connery and the director did not get along. What really makes me sad is the fact that Moore's other comics won't transfer to film, as he's said repeatedly that he hates the movie making process. Which makes this site verrry interesting, especially seeing who will direct. BTW, if you haven't read this comic, go cop the TPB. Absolute genius.
-In other movie news, we FINALLY get a new Tarantino film. This one is gonna be hot folks.
-From POINTS IN CASE:
Chris: How come he didn't get more points than that?
Jerry: I thought that was a perfect landing...
Bubba: Probably because he didn't have his hands closer and the splash was bigger.
Chris: How the hell would you know, are you a fucking judge?
Bubba: No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
-While watching a diving competition
-Normally I can't stand OO's Jeb Lund, but he gets all up in the WWE's area here. Best line:
"One of these days, when Triple H is in the middle of one of his long grunting promos, Jericho should just lean forward, stick his finger on the end of Triple H's schnozz and say, "poooooooke!" No one will know what to do."
-Josh likes her and so should you.
OK, I'm done. Thanks for reading, and until next time KEEP ALL HANDS AND FEET IN THE GODDAMN CART.

GOLF CART RACING LEAGUE. Awesome. Thanks Chaz.
Rob: I'll get at you soon.

And before I go, go here to squeeze dubya's nutz.
Three weeks ago, MoveOn launched a petition asking Congress to create
an independent commission to investigate whether the Bush
Administration manipulated and distorted evidence to take the country
to war in Iraq. Over 190,000 of us joined the effort. Now Congress
is literally taking up our call: Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) has written
a bill that would create just such a commission, and it's already
co-sponsored by a wide array of moderate Democrats -- including many
who voted for the war.
This commission can really happen -- and the truth about the Bush
Administration's manipulation of evidence can really come out -- but
we'll need your help. We're launching a drive to get every member of
Congress to personally pledge to support and vote for the independent
commission.
If you sign right now, your comment may be among those read on the
House floor by some of the Representatives pushing this resolution.
Reps. Henry Waxman (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), George Miller (D-CA),
Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), and a
number of others are looking forward to hearing what you have to say
and reading some of the messages into the Congressional Record on the
House floor.
It's hardly a secret that members of the Bush Administration used
misleading and scanty evidence to bolster their case. As US News and
World Report noted in early June, even Colin Powell became alarmed at
the level of intelligence distortion. When he read the first draft of
his speech to the UN -- prepared for Powell by Vice President Richard
Cheney's chief of staff -- he was so upset at the weakness of some of
the evidence that he lost his temper, throwing several pages in the
air and declaring, "I'm not reading this. This is bullshit." (US News
and World Report, 6/9/03, URL below)
Breaking news over the last few days has shown how untrustworthy the
Bush Administration is on this issue:
* The White House has finally admitted that the President's State of
the Union statement that Iraq was trying to procure nuclear materials
from Niger was wrong, but officials remain adamant that the
Administration did not mislead the public.
* Ambassador Joe Wilson, who was sent to Niger in February 2002 to
determine whether Iraq was trying to purchase uranium materials there,
concluded in a recent New York Times Op-Ed that "I have little
choice but to conclude that some of the intelligence related to Iraq's
nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat."
* An official British investigation into two trailers found in
northern Iraq -- the trailers that the President referred to when he
said, "We found the weapons of mass destruction" -- has concluded that
the trailers were definitely not related to weapons production. As
one scientist told a British newspaper, "They are not mobile germ
warfare laboratories. You could not use them for making biological
weapons. They do not even look like them. They are exactly what the
Iraqis said they were - facilities for the production of hydrogen gas
to fill balloons."
The evidence that supported the war is unraveling, and it's time for
Congress to hold the President and his administration accountable. As
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) said in a recent statement, "What else
did the Bush Administration lie about? What other faulty information
did Administration officials, including President Bush, tell the
American people and the world? Did the Bush Administration knowingly
deceive us and manufacture intelligence in order to build public
support for the invasion of Iraq? Did Iraq really pose an imminent
threat to our nation? These questions must be answered. The American
people deserve to know the full truth."
P.P.S. The article in which Colin Powell is quoted as saying "I'm not
reading this. This is bullshit." is available online for $2.95 at:

WOW. Last night was insaaaaane. Got there about 9:35 and cars all over the place. Got to the booth and I find out I'm relieving someone at 11, so I rode around with the new valet chick (the one who was called a bitch last night.) She said the guy came and yelled at her for it, but I wanted the matter settled, 'cause I don't want to have to put up with quarrels over who called who a what.
So I get to rappin' with this chick and she's a sophomore in college, but she has some major issues (and I think a boyfriend) so we'll see if this goes far.
Apparently we had some complaints about people going too fast on the carts, and it was bad enough that someone actually FELL OFF. OK, here's a question for you "but don't ponder it for too long or BLOOD will shoot out your nose." - LEW
If you have customers in the cart, does it make sense to fly around the building and cut corners and put their lives at risk? NO! So why do they have to do it?? WHY GOD WHYYYYY. At least I can counter with people speeding around the corners and hitting us with their car, even after I've spotted them and slowed down so we don't meet at a high rate of speed. One of these days, someone will get nailed.
And another thing, how hard is it to look behind you to see if everyone is on board? I can't remember how many times someone took off when everyone WASN'T on the freaking cart. Jesus, people! Haven't we heard of a lawsuit? This is still America people! There was an incident of someone's car getting hit and security thought it was us, but no. No scrapes on the car and I pray everyone else isn't that stupid to hit a fucking parked car. Hopefully.
So I think someone will get their ass kicked for all those screwups today. I did make $23 last night, so that was kewl. My first tip was a $2 bill, a $1 gaming chip and a matchbook, hence the title. I also caught one of the temp security guards staring at one of the singers of the band as she was walking out the door. Heh.
Another perk is that we do get to ride with some very fine women, so that's a benefit. And above all, I should remember, "You sure have a fun job!"
That I do. I could be doing worse. Got home at 5 a.m. and promptly fell asleep. Back to the grind at 7 tonight.

Gotta love the Deuce when "Bring The Pain" is followed by "Sensitivity." By one Ralph Tresvant.
Tonight was demo play at the new casino so folks could try out the new building. It was supposed to be last Thursday, but was cancelled for reasons unknown to me (but I'm sure it was because they weren't set up yet.)
And since the elevators are out (and won't be in until September) so our new responsibility is to drive around the garage in golf carts and take people to the fourth floor. So it's sort of a promotion for me, as we get paid $8.70 an hour rather than the aforementioned minimum wage (YAH!) The first few hours were spent driving around the carts and racing them (like we're not going to do it!) I was stuck with the shitty cart while the guy had the only decent cart and kept whipping my ass. He almost tipped it over a few times when he took a corner too tight, but it was all good. Well, other than the time I took out a part of the wood post by the old bingo hall (but that's coming down in a few weeks so no worries there) and nearly tipped myself over zooming down to the valet booth (thankfully no one was in the car.) Still doesn't beat the time my friend in security and a valet were heading down to the lower lot in a cart, hit a speed bump and skidded about a few feet on their side.
There was even some drama as one of the new valets we hired said that one of the temp security guards called her a bitch, but he said she said something to him first. Sound familiar?
The new casino is niiiiice. Clean, spacious, no Vegas style glitz. Check out some old pics.
Tomorrow is opening day and I go in at 10 p.m. Weird time to start but the new place opens at 8, so I will be thrown in the thick of things. Fun times!
Off to bed I go.

Ah, you gotta love MTV's love of Snoop Dogg -- especially when it results in "Doggy Fizzle Televizzle" and old skool funk videos on MTV.
So how was your 4th? Mine was pretty good. I had to run all over the peninsula to get food, alcohol and fireworks, but it was worth it to collect my $50 in tips from Thursday night. Woohoo. Then I went to my friends' BBQ and promptly got hammered. Ah yeah. After a few rounds of badminton ("She sure knows how to work the 'cock," I remarked to my friend about his girlfriend. "She sure does," he countered.) it was on to fireworks and the exploding of many things. Someone made sparkler bombs (or tried to -- they didn't work) and a good time was had by all.
Until three of my friends' friends showed up and we found out they had apparently done a muscle relaxer and chased it down with hard alcohol. Not good times, my friends. We stayed up with one kid to make sure he didn't choke on his vomit in my friends' next door neighbor's yard, until I went inside and promptly collapsed on the couch at 2:30 a.m.
Yesterday was spent relaxing and not doing much, and work was snnnnnnnnoretastic today. Thankfully we were able to pass the time by watching The Professional. InSANE film. Jean Reno teaches Natalie Portman how to be a hitman (and she's 13 here folks!) Go check it out when you can.
OMG "Superstition" is on RIGHT NOW. AWESOME.
QUICK HITS:
-THIS SITE CAN READ YOUR MIND. Freaky and awesome at the same time!
-One good use for a mobile phone is here.
This week should be fun for the new casino opens! Hopefully I will have some good stories for this so stay tuned.

Both Stephanie and Vince McMahon were the brains behind the recent storyline in which Stephanie admitted to her father "pimping her out" to close business deals when she was younger. They came up with the storyline together and scripted the whole thing. Just to point out the obvious, there was no truth to it.
Some people backstage were a little shaken up with the storyline and have remarked, "They're very creepy people". Nonetheless, Stephanie/Zach/Vince continue to have the top-drawing segments on SmackDown!.
Oh man, that is SO not cool.
And as you try to get THOSE images out of your head, Good 4th Of July to you. I would rant and rave about how the holiday is a sham when we have Bush and the fam fucking up our personal freedoms, but I will let the local alt rag The Stranger hook it up. Enjoy!
Anyways, I have today and tomorrow off (HA HA!) so fuck time and a half, I'm going out to get drunk and have Roman Candle wars.
So enjoy your parties and BBQ and PLEASE don't drive drunk today. Save a life, save your own and others. Thanks.

Would you like to take a survey?
No, this isn't if you like beans or George Wendt or even if you would like to see George Wendt in a movie eating beans. This is to find out what swear word you are and which Puro star you are. Or you can go for the gusto and find out how much you hate Triple H!
I am:
your asshole.
and
You are Masahiro Chono. Although you are getting
on in years, you are still a strong competitor.
aaaaaaaaaaand:
Whoo Hoo! You hate Triple H as much as I do! I
will admit I liked Triple H a lot in the DX
days. Since he hooked up with Steph he has
become a power hungry asshole. If he really is
"That Damn Good", why is he scared
shitless of losing his spot? Why does he
refuse to elevate talent? Could it be cause
deep down he knows he sucks?
Man. I thought I might have been an asshole, but now it is confirmed. Eh, I always liked fuck better. As for Chono, I've never seen him wrestle, so I can't say. I hear he is quite good, but I liked Tiger Mask and Mr. Pogo more. As for Hunter...whoooo, how the mighty have fallen. I can't comment on the shit backstage (I agree with Flea on the whole backstage crap) but when he constantly holds the title AND doesn't let the face come out on top, something is wrong.
Well, the bullpen went south AGAIN tonight. I hope this isn't a trend, but we've got a history of relievers blowing saves left and right.
Blah day. I went to the dump and that's about it. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
So until next time, DON'T PISS OFF THE CHAZ.

So Butch is going to LV to be the best man at his friend's wedding. Instead of making any delightfully tacky jokes, I will pass on the following from Ricky at College Humor.com
"Friends, I feel that part of my obligation as a founder of this site is to pass on to readers the tips and tricks of life from which I feel they could benefit. Especially when it comes to heavy petting. No pun intended, obviously. So here goes. Do what you will with it...
Last week I attended a good friend's wedding. This being the first wedding I have ever attended, I called my friend Chris to get some advice on what to give, what to wear, etc. But there was a more useful piece of information that Chris gave me during that call, and what he told me was this... "If you can't get laid at a wedding, you can't get laid." I really didn't understand why that would be, but he told me to just wait and see for myself. And, loyal readers, I am here to tell you why that is true-- why weddings are the easiest place to score in the world, save for brothels and chubby sororities.
1) Love is in the air. Everybody is happy at a wedding. There's good food, pretty decorations, and everybody is dressed to the nines. You're looking hot and so is your potential hookup. Everybody knows the bride or groom in some way, which makes for great conversation pieces. For example, "Wow, Heather just looks radiant in that wedding dress, doesn't she? I can only hope my wife will look so dashing... wherever she is out there." You might as well take the condoms out of your overnight bag at this point.
2) Everyone is drinking. But not like normal kind of "out to a bar" drunk. Wedding drunk. Wedding drunk is a level of intoxication that goes far beyond the normal human standards for drunkenness. Even the old people are sloshed, which starts a dangerous downward spiral of parental consent to the younger crowd at the reception, and in turn, furthers your chances of getting your D wet.
3) Everyone is going back to a hotel. Dudes, think about it. You spend just about all of your bar-going nights trying to get someone to come back to where your bed is. The "girl-to-domicile" conversion is the toughest play in the book to pull off smoothly. But at a wedding, any prospective hookup is ALREADY GOING BACK TO SLEEP AT THE SAME PLACE YOU ARE. Seriously, could things get any better for your chances? Maybe if you had a magical wiener that shot out loads of $100 bills. Maybe.
4) Biological clocks are being wound and ticking. Nothing makes a girl worry more about the emptiness of her own future than seeing someone else's life come together right before her very eyes. And nothing could help your game more. Well, except for that aforementioned hotel thing. But anyway, use this to your advantage. When a girl's maternal instinct is saying "somebody put a baby in me as soon as possible," what gives you the right to deny what evolution has intended? Now respect Mother Nature and get bonin'.
5) The bride and groom are having sex that night and everybody knows it. What does this mean for you? Well, in the back of your potential hookup's mind is the knowledge that her friend is off "doin' it to it." Ever meet a girl at a party, but can't close the deal because she feels bad because her friend isn't getting any? This is the total opposite, amigos. The potential one-night stand knows that her friend is off consummating the marriage and having the craziest night of sex she'll ever have. Or in the case of the bride and groom both being virgins, the most awkward, bloody, fumbling, uncomfortable sexual experience of their young lives.
6) No awkward future. Last but certainly not least, this one here might be the most important part. So many male/female rendezvous never come to fruition because of the sheer notion of the ensuing weirdness that will come post-coitus. This doesn't usually factor in at a wedding, unless you're hooking up with someone you'll see at a future family reunion, which I hope isn't the case. Furthermore, most of the time you don't even live in the same state as the person you just spooned naked with for the eight hours before the last moment you ever see them again.
What else needs to happen to this playing field to make it more even for you? Nothing... exactly. A wedding is a bases-loaded situation with a Junior High Girls' Softball pitcher throwing you a slow one right down the center. Now go find a bridesmaid and round those bases, kiddo."
And to give him some ideas, he (and you if you want) can go here.
Enjoy.

"Yo, Power Kangers. Big Show is totally destroying the city. Go and, like, kick his ass and stuff."
Gotta love wrestling parody sites.
Well, today was interesting to say the least. They had to finish paving the main strip to the casino, so they had it marked off for cars to come and go. Naturally, people can't pay attention and so we had confusion. Even with us making signs and arrows, people STILL can't pay attention and therefore, chaos ensues. I counted about eight or nine near head-on collisions BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T FUCKING READ.
Hell, I even told a few people who wanted to park us they would be better off parking in the back, as we have to not only navigate the construction, but we have to park in a small dirt lot next to a fireworks stand. Fun times for all!
The best part was watching the idiot security guards run around trying to direct traffic. Especially this moron who thinks its his God-given right to guide ever single car that comes in, and if you don't go where he points you, you are SCREWED. Still didn't stop several cars from blowing past him, thereby making him lose his temper. Ah, good times.
So RAW was eh. Gail Kim showed some flash (that Matrix-style entrance video is pretty swank) but the domination of HHHate Me continues. Thank God Hogan said he won't work for Vince anymore, or this whole day would have been a wash.
Two days off (WHOOOOOOOOO) and then the Fourth with BBQ and drinkin' and fireworks...but no twins. :(
Until next time, stay safe, be well and "fight for justice and...kittens, and good stuff like that!"

Ah, the Detroit Tigers. How they have fallen on hard times. So hard that Trammel has called for Saturday morning practice. SATURDAY MORNING. How bad is that?
Well, since I haven't been on for a while, I'd better fill everyone in with the details that is...my life.
-Chaz:I have no beef with you, so thanks for the link. I appreciate it.
-Rob:Yes you hurt my feelings and I hate you for it. I shall now describe those feelings with a emo poem.
i cannot stand you,
hatred fills my soul,
i only hope you are filled with my remorse,
if only you knew how i felt,
you would sell your soul to be rid of the sadness,
and i hope the hatred fills you
so you too can grow the hatred
inside you
Oh man, this is starting to resemble that Player Hater skit from Chappelle's Show, huh? HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
-Damn you Randell fucking White. Damn you straight to hell. And good job by our bullpen this weekend. Fuckers.
-So I think Lou might (might) be regretting his "trade" to the Devil Rays. Might.
-Nothing exciting from the job, but that will change when the new casino opens on July 8th. Thankfully I have Tuesday and Wednesday AND the 4th off. Ah yeah. Good times will be had on that day.
-That sure was a kickass match between Spanky and Xavier on Velocity this weekend. Too bad they just HAD to drag down the show with Kanyon jobbing to Billy Suck-Ass Gunn. And why oh why is Trish jobbing right and left on Heat? Why, Lord, why?
-Tomorrow should be snoretastic. Bingo has a morning session and that's it, so no big rush in the afternoon. (Yes, people come THREE HOURS EARLY for fucking bingo.) That and they're going to be working on the front drive to the new casino and the DOT will be out working on the signal lights, so I doubt there will be much traffic through our area.
Well, until next time, stay safe and if you see someone driving a Geo Metro convertible, point and laugh at them.
Then kick their ass and blow up the car.

"I'd say something to Johnny B, but the dude parks cars for a living, he deserves some joy in his life."
Rob T. Proud ROTC graduate. Proud college graduate. And proud not to have a sense of humor.
Oh ho ho ho ho ho! Ohhhhhhhhhh ho ho ho ho ho! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!
Fake laugh gets 'em every time. :)
As for Rosser, well, as I've said before his life sucks dick, so he's got to get his anger out somehow. I already said my list sucks, so there's not much to joke about there.
But seriously,
"Job fair has come and gone - it was a wash but I guess people who's dream was to sell insurance were in heaven, cause most of the people there were insurance companies."
Insurance is the shiznit right now. Hell, I applied to several insurance companies and GEICO wanted me to work, but the $450 of classes and shit to get licensed wasn't in my financial plans. So if you need something to do and you got the change, go sell some insurance. or go back to skool and get trained to be a nurse. Hey, it's better than parking cars.
Nothing new on the job front, but things will be hectic tomorrow. They're paving the road to the casino and we won't be able to use the garage until Friday, which means we have to park behind the casino where they originally parked. Which ALSO means there will be one way for the shuttles & the customers to go to the bingo hall. And I work at five. Oh happy day.
It also doesn't help when you have to mow & trim the lawn even though I'm allergic to grass. Makes for a fun day. I did cop a new weed eater because the others don't work/are pieces of shit. So happy belated Father's Day Dad! Even though you're 3000 miles away, I still have you in my thoughts.
If you missed Making The Band 2, please watch as it confirms my theory that Puff is crazy. Making them stay at a Best Western, working at a homeless shelter and making them recite "Rapper's Delight" is one thing, but making them recite "Juicy?" They lucky he didn't swing on them for messing up the lyrics. START OVER Y'ALL ARE MESSIN' UP MY MAN'S WORDS. Jesus. And what's up with Dylan? After Puff pulled all those strings to keep his ass out of jail, now he wanna cop an attitude? That's some bullshit right there, but Combs didn't help matters when he made them go to Brrrrrrrrooklyn for some cheesecake.
Next week: Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. And Fontley shows up. If O-Town was this interesting, maybe they stinkin' asses would still have a record career.
QUICK HITS-
Go
-here if you love Halo or some good comedy.
-here to see cute animals MEET THEIR HORRIBLE BLOODY DEMISE.
-here to see the "It" Cartoonists as featured in EW. Also check out Teen Girl Squad as recommended by cool cat Justin Shapiro.
-here to experience stupidity at it's finest and to rewrite your message board sig.
Shalom.

Draft Rumors: True lies, or a lot of Bull?
By Chad Ford
NBA Insider
Updated: Wednesday, June 25
12:56 PM ET
It's 2:13 a.m., and the phone rings with yet another GM who has a story to tell.
"Are you up?"
I am now.
"The Bulls are on the verge of a blockbuster. They're sending Donyell Marshall, Marcus Fizer, Eddie Robinson and the No. 7 pick to Dallas for Michael Finley."
Really?
Two hours earlier, the buzz had the Bulls sending Jalen Rose to Minnesota for Terrell Brandon and his expiring contract.
A little before that came word that the Bulls weren't looking at a small forward anymore, because they were confident they were going to lock up Juwan Howard in free agency.
It isn't easy to connect the dots that late at night, but follow me for a second. Finley and Howard are Chicago natives, workout buddies in the summer, and they've both dreamed of playing for the Bulls one day.
GM John Paxson's goal is to win now. He wants to end the youth movement and begin surrounding Tyson Chandler, Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford with veterans.
He also needs to make sure he has enough cap space to re-sign those young guys when their contracts start expiring next year. That's why shipping off Rose makes a whole lot of sense.
By 2:30 a.m., with the dots loosely connected, John Paxson is looking like a genius.
A starting lineup of Crawford, Finley, Howard, Chandler and Curry sounds pretty appealing. So does the extra $10 million in cap space Chicago likely will have next season after signing Crawford to an extension.
Not so fast.
In the world of the NBA draft, where subterfuge is the weapon of choice in ensuring the guy you want remains on the draft board until you pick, everything isn't always what it seems.
"I think that whole scenario is a product of 'Mark Cuban Productions,' " one assistant GM told Insider. "I've seen it too many times. That's too perfect for Dallas. They get two low post players and a young stud like [Mickael] Pietrus at No. 7. Be careful."
Good advice. Remember, it was Cuban who just days earlier began fueling the rumors of a sign-and-trade deal to bring Jason Kidd to Dallas.
One more late phone call wakes up my best source with the Bulls. "I'm under the impression we're not doing anything. Of course, that could change tomorrow."
It probably will. The real trade talk begins today. With time running out, offers become more serious, trade proposals more realistic and the pressure to make something happen gets turned to high.
Trade Talk:
-I wasn't the only one hearing that the Bulls were on the trading warpath. The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting a similar deal. According to that paper, Paxson was the one making the phone call to Dallas.
Meanwhile Donnie Nelson told the Dallas Morning News that the Big Three -- Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Finley -- were basically untouchable.
"We're at a stage now where the Big Three or Big Four (Nowitzki, Finley, Nash, Nick Van Exel ) have produced some pretty sweet music and some incredible results," Nelson said. "To tamper with that would take a significant deal. If you're ever going to break that up, it better be for a quantum leap. Otherwise, I think it would be a mistake. I would say I wouldn't look for that to happen."
Make of that what you will.
-No real news to report on the Sonics-Raptors talks. The deal sending Vladimir Radmanovic, Brent Barry and No. 12 to Toronto for Jerome Williams, Michael Bradley and the No. 4 is still on hold.
The Raptors are getting flooded with offers for the No. 4 pick and haven't made any decisions. The Knicks, Mavs, Celtics, Blazers and Sonics are all trying to get up to No. 4. So apparently are the Cavs.
The latest buzz has the Cavs offering Ricky Davis and Chris Mihm for Hakeem Olajuwon and the No. 4 pick. However the Raps won't give their No. 4 away unless someone takes one of their bad contracts (read: Jerome Williams) off their hands. Still, that wouldn't be a bad deal for the Cavs. Put LeBron James, Darius Miles, Chris Bosh and Dajuan Wagner on the floor, and the Cavs just might have something.
-The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting rumblings out of Detroit that the Pistons will trade point guard Chucky Atkins, forward Tayshaun Prince and center/forward Mehmet Okur for the Cavs' Ricky Davis.
Davis certainly would help the Pistons' scoring problems. But would Joe Dumars really do this deal? Losing Atkins isn't an issue, but he loves Prince, and Okur looks like he could turn into a major force down low. Of course, with the coming of Darko, maybe Okur is expendable.
It should be noted that both of these reports fly in the face of recent rumblings that Davis is off the block in Cleveland.
-The Nuggets are tying to pick up a second first-round pick. With Carmelo Anthony the likely pick at No. 3, word is that the team is trying to package Rodney White and Marcus Camby for a player and a mid first-round pick.
"The question is, how much of our cap room we're really ready to give up," one Nuggets source told Insider. "But there are several guys we like around there."
-Speaking of the Nuggets, their chances of landing Gilbert Arenas may have taken a hit. Insider reported Monday the Warriors were fliriting with picking Ndudi Ebi, a raw high school power forward, with the 11th pick.
We'll pause why you all say, "Huh?" Well, Skip Bayless of the San Jose Mercury News might have just filled in the blanks.
Ebi and Arenas are represented by the same agent, Dan Fegan. Could Fegan arrange to have Arenas sign for less in Golden State now if the Warriors promise to give Ebi some love at 11 and max-out Arenas in a new deal in two years?
It might not have to be 11, either. There's talk the Hawks and Warriors are talking about a swap that would send the No. 11 to the Hawks for the No. 21 and a future first-round pick. The Hawks would then select Louisville's Reece Gaines at 11, and the Warriors would take Ebi at 21.
Fegan has a history with the Warriors. He also represents Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy. But is he that powerful?
Arenas likely would be turning down at least $3 million a year over the next two years to re-sign with the Warriors rather than seek his fortune with the Nuggets. The most the Warriors can offer is the mid-level exception, which is supposed to start at around $4.9 million next year. The Nuggets likely would offer a deal starting at around $8 million a year. Because Arenas is a restricted free agent, to re-sign with his team it has to be at least a three-year deal with a player opt-out after year two.
That's a big risk. Injuries, a bad season or two and the possibility of the NBA finding out about the under the table agreement could come back to haunt Arenas and the Warriors. Just ask Joe Smith and the T-Wolves. And while Fegan and the Warriors would never be stupid enough to actually put something in writing, that could mean trouble down the road. Just ask Rashard Lewis, who felt the Sonics reneged on a max-out promise two seasons ago.
But the Warriors would be loathe to screw Fegan, considering he represents so many of their players. I'm not sure how realistic the scenario is, but it certainly makes sense at one level.
Stock Watch
-Ndudi Ebi isn't the only one being mentioned as a surprise Warriors' pick on draft night. Two sources told Insider the team was also seriously looking at Yugoslavian forward Zarko Cabarkapa at No. 11.
The Warriors have been calling sources in Yugoslavia trying to do background checks on him. He has not worked out for the team.
-Texas point guard T.J. Ford continues to slide on many draft boards. Several teams told Insider they're concerned about his back. According to the teams, he has a condition called spinal stenosis. While the condition is not career threatening, it could require surgery, which could cut into the summer league or training camp.
Combine that with his size (just a hair over 6-feet) and his weak perimeter shot, and it may be enough to push Ford down into the late lottery.
-Central Michigan center Chris Kaman snuck into L.A. for a second workout with the Clippers on Sunday. He reportedly put on a much better performance than in his first one. How good? With the Clips sure they're losing Michael Olowokandi this offseason, Kaman might have moved back to the top of their draft board.
-Are the Bucks still drafting a point guard? Over the last 24 hours a rumor has spread through the league that they now feel they'll be able to get Gary Payton re-signed. That's not a shocker from Payton's end. The free-agent market will be tough. But would the Bucks really re-sign him? With the team up for sale, are they really going to start signing guys to big multi-year deals?
If they do feel comfortable on Payton, the Bucks could go big and take someone like Kaman, Maciej Lampe or Nick Collison if they're still on the board at No. 8.
I think it's smoke. It's hard to believe they'll pass on Hinrich or Ford.
-Marcus Banks may be the hottest name in the draft, but a questionable background check may be scaring off the Sonics at No. 14. It appears that if they keep the pick, they'll take Luke Ridnour or Reece Gaines. Banks probably won't slip past No. 17.
-The Suns have narrowed their list down to Zarko Cabarkapa, Brian Cook and Luke Ridnour.
-Weird rumor of the day. Are the Hornets flirting with Senegal's Malick Badiane at No. 18. While everyone loves his pro body and athleticism, he's a pretty big project. How long can New Orleans wait?
Workout News:
Raptors: Coach Kevin O'Neill flew to New York on Tuesday to look at Kaman and Illinois forward Brian Cook. The Raps will take a look at Ford, Gaines and Lampe today in New York.
Knicks: Joining Kaman and Cook in New York on Tuesday was Penn's Ugonna Onyekwe, Arizona State's Tommy Smith, Ball State's Theron Smith, Weber State's Jermaine Boyette, North Carolina State's Josh Powell and Florida's Matt Bonner. Lampe, Gaines and Ford will be working out in New York today.
Heat Lampe worked out with Tennessee's Ron Slay and Siena's Prosper Karangwa on Tuesday. Rick Rickert will workout in Miami today.
Hawks: Senegal's Malick Badiane and Minnesota's Rickert were in town on Tuesday.
Jazz: Serbian Alexsandar Pavlovic and Xavier's David West worked out on Tuesday, along with North Dakota center-forward Jerome Beasley and SMU guard Quinton Ross. Today, the Jazz will work out Duke swingman Dahntay Jones, Notre Dame guard Matt Carroll and DePaul forward Sam Hoskin.
Sonics: The team worked out the Republic of Georgia's Zaur Pachulia on Tuesday.
Wizards: France's Paccelis Morlende and Croatia's Zoran Planinic worked out on Tuesday.
T-Wolves: The team will bring in Boston College's Troy Bell, along with Badiane and Minnesota's Jerry Holman today.
Cavs: Bell, Travis Hansen, Jason Kapono and Hollis Price worked out in Cleveland on Tuesday. Kyle Korver and Luke Walton are scheduled to work out today.
And there you have it. I can't imagine the Mavs giving up Finley, a solid scorer, for a journeyman and two young guys such as Fizer and Robinson. But Cuban may see something in those two as he tries to sign Kidd.
As for us, I would really hate to give up Barry. I wasn't really sold on Radmanovic, but Barry was a solid backup for the Glove. I'm not sure if Bosh is as good as everyone thinks he is, but stranger things have happened.
Man, this draft might be fun this year.

So when you get paid, do you:
A. Pay bills.
B. Put it away for retirement or college or that new house or even that hot outfit you saw at the mall.
C. LET'S GO GAMBLING BAYBEE!
Many folks chose C as they came to the casino this weekend in droves. We ran and ran AND ran from about 7 p.m. until we got caught up at 10:30 on Saturday. It was so bad, people were ready to go just as we had parked their car.
The funny thing is, only one person went nuts, and that was some old Vietnamese guy. He proceeded to bitch out a security guard AND flip off my supervisor as he drove past. Amazing.
Still, we got to drive some nice cars and meet and greet the fine women who sometime accompany these cars, especially the one who was the roommate of the very hot redheaded security guard that works nights. We were all stunned by her beauty (her ample chest that seemed all but eager to come out of her top probably helped as well.)
Sunday wasn't bad. It was steady but we still had time to watch Scarface and Super Troopers. Good times, good times.
QUICK HITS:
-IM MY DAY WE WALKED 10 MILES WITH NO SHOES OR SOCKS AND WE LOVED IT
-I watched MTV2's 22 greatest MC's special tonight. How can Kim and Foxy AND Missy be ranked ahead of KRS? Anyone?
-If you missed it, VH1 is showing AL TV, but this time it's updated to shill Poodle Hat. You MUST watch, if only for his "interview" with Eminem.
And that's your QUICK HITS for this evening.
Out.
