Beautiful Flagrance
Brad Miller's head is a basketball, say NBA officials
Yesterday the NBA handed down its final ruling on Rajon Rondo's thwacking of Brad Miller's head in the closing seconds of Tuesday's Game 5 between Boston and Chicago. The verdict: not flagrant. If you haven't seen the play, you can watch it here (at about the 1:15 mark).
They ruled that Rondo didn't wind up (he lunged at Miller from behind), didn't follow through (the rock-solid contact with Miller's huge melon may have had something to do with that), the impact wasn't severe enough (puncturing Miller's cheek with his own tooth, requiring stitches), and was part of a play on the basketball (which was neither in the vicinity nor in the same direction as Rondo's meat-hook swat).
On the very same day, Dwight Howard was suspended for one game for grazing a guy's cheek with his elbow.
Glad to see the NBA has brought integrity back into its officiating and discipline. All I know is this: if none of the Bulls foul Rondo hard in tonight's win-or-go-home Game 6 in Chicago, one of the fans will.

Idiots are dumber than imbeciles and morons. And I must say, it was lovely receiving emails all day reading nothing but, "Idiot," or "Moron." Real self-esteem booster. :) The terms went out of industry use after people started using them as derogatory terms . . . funny how the folks at MENSA never saw that coming. Here's who knew:
Kyle
Karen H (the H stands for Hay Maker)
Steve J (the J stands for Jab Left, Hook Right)
Congrats on, you know, not being any of those things.

April 29, 2009 question - Dumb and Dumberererest?
Flyover
The Crown Prince of bad ideas
Hey, we need a new picture of Air Force One. Can we get one that makes it look like it's flying into a building in the middle of Manhattan?
That sounds like something you'd overhear on the set of . . . okay, I'm trying to think of a show that wouldn't be insulted by the insinuation that they could think of something that dumb, but it's just not coming to me. Regardless, it wasn't the desperate attempt of a ratings-hungry trash-com, it was straight out of the White House Military Office, complete with orders to NY law enforcement not to tell anybody.
The word fired comes to mind, but it's replaced quickly by waterboarding.
Normally I like to take an unpredictable angle on such stories, but . . . yeah, I got nothing.

Pigs do sweat, yes. Just not a lot. They don't have enough sweat glands to cool themselves off adequately. They find other ways to keep themselves cool and stinky. Here's who knew:
Kyle
Paul C (the C stands for Cool Sans Sweat)
Nancy K (the K stands for Knows Me Too Well To Trust Her Instincts)

Great job, all of you! Now, don't forget to cover your face when you sneeze, or other people might catch Genius.
