I for one have no idea why the company who made this, gotvmail, wanted Gary Busey to be be their spokesperson. I think Busey is hilarious, but I could never take anything he says seriously, especially anything business related. I don't know if they thought that Busey had enough star power to carry their idea, which he doesn't, or if they thought that his humor would make prospective clients want to join, which it won't, but either way this is a strange pick. Busey is like a cult classic movie, loved by few, not really known my many. I don't think the people like myself who truly appreciate Busey's nuttiness are the type of people that this company is trying to draw in. Most of us are deadbeats not really looking to do any type of business. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but not likely.

P.S. I really miss I'm With Busey.

Answer for Matt

Matt asks:

what's your favorite number?

This is one of the harder questions I've been asked to answer, but I shall do my darndest. The way I will be answering is with a list of numbers that are in contention, and an answer in the end. Here we go.

The first number in the running is the number 7. Everyone loves the number 7. It seems to be a lot of people's favorites, which also detracts from it. Growing up, I usually wanted my jersey number to be number 7, and although I cannot remember what number I actually was, I do remember always longing for the number 7. Whether it was my actual number or not makes no difference because in this case it's the thought that counts.

The next number in the running is the number 9. Being six years younger than my older brother I always looked up to him. He was a legendary pitcher in little league and will always be remembered at Byram Hills for his incredible skills on the mound. During his years on the baseball circuit, his number was always number 9. As such, along with the number 7, I always wanted my jersey number to be 9 as well. I no longer look up to my brother as much as I once did, but I am still partially drawn to the number 9.

The next number in the running is the number 42. According to the author Douglas Adams, the number 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, and as such it is hard for me to turn down. Plus, as can be seen on my rap name poll, 42 is a possible choice for my rap name. That's because I, like the number 42, am the answer to everything. Also, my initials (TEE) are right smack dab in the middle of the number 42 and so it is hard for me to resist.

The next number in the running is the number 33. As a child my favorite basketball player was Alonzo Morning, and so obviously I liked the number. Other noteworthy players to don the number 33 include, Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Starbury, Grant Hill, as well as other greats. With those names behind the number it is hard to refuse.

In the end, my favorite number is 794,233. With all those numbers together, I can't go wrong.

Proof Dinosaurs Really Did Once Exist

Just when you thought you've seen it all, scientists unearthed this:

If you can't tell, this is the skeletal structure of the Tarbosaurus, a relative to the T-Rex. Although they were once thought to be nothing more than a child's story, the likelihood that dinosaurs actually existed is increasing everyday. Although these fossils could obviously have been planted in the groud as some sort of hoax by a group of young hooligans, they are just another piece in the puzzle that is the existence of dinosaurs.

I myself once believed that dinosaurs were merely mythical creatures, like the unicorn and the duck-billed platypus, but everyday more evidence seens to come along to show us that they were real. But who were these dinosaurs and what did they want with us? Also, where did they all go? Those are the missing pieces of the dinosaur puzzle I just can't figure out.

And now, a word from our sponsors.

Rome Yells, "Stay Away Litter Bugs"

For all those visiting Rome this summer, be careful where you eat your delightful gelatos and sip on your savory cappuchinos. As of July 10th, you could be fined up to $80 for snacking near the sites of Rome's historical center. As if being fined for littering weren't bad enough, now you could be banned for indulging in some of Rome's tasty treats in the wrong locations as well.

This is an unprecedented attack on American tourists. Don't the Italians know that Americans can't help but snack. All day it's snack snack snack snack snack. And now you're trying to tell us to not snack near monuments and sites centuries old and older than the United States itself. Well, I say shame on you Italy. Maybe if you didn't make such delicious and portable treats visitors wouldn't be so tempted to carry them around. Not to mention that nearly all of Rome is historical so where are we supposed to snack. In a restaurant? Get real. I don't know if this is a slite jab at our obesity "epidemic", or simply a way of pointing out that you have historical monuments worth preserving while America doesn't really, but either way this cut burns. No really. All that walking without being able to snack burns. But it's kind of like a good burn, you know?

The ordinance also prevenst bums from making "make-shift beds" (what the hell does that mean), and it cracks down on drunks as well as, littering, and loitering at night in central areas. I guess all those things are ok. I just want to snack.

WIll the Real Batman Please Stand Up

With the new batman movie The Dark Knight setting all sorts of records, including the best opening weekend ever, I though I'd give you a little taste of the best batman movie of all time, the one that set the stage for both Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Batman and Robin.  Enjoy this clip of some of the better scenes of the movie.

If that's not some of the finest cinematography I've ever seen, I don't know what it is.  And the quick wit and sharp tongue of all characters adds an aspect to batman never seen in the previous movies.  All actors do a great job with playing their characters and really bringing them to life and set the bar extremely high for all future batman movies.  With out this classic batman movie we would never have been able to appreciate The Dark Knight nearly as much as we do.  

Mushrooms

After hearing my mom tell a story about how a lady recently ate a bunch of mushrooms on the side of the road and died I decided to give a little shout out to the mushroom. I think the mushroom is the most mysterious and versatile of all vegetables (or whatever they are).

Mushrooms can be used in nearly every situation. If you want to kill yourself you can eat the common mushroom found on the side of the road(as examplified above). If you're in the middle of the forest and you want to play a mean set on the drums, you can play one on those pad like mushroms on the side of trees. If you want to see stationary objects move and cry at the site of the sunset, you can eat magical mushrooms. If you want an overly priced funghi you can eat a truffle. If you want to get bigger you can eat a red mushroom. If you want an extra life you can eat a green mushroom. If you want to make a delicous stirfy you can throw in some white capped mushrooms to up the taste a bit. You can stuff mushrooms. You can bake mushrooms. You can grill mushrooms. You can trip on mushrooms. Yes, you can do just about anything with mushrooms. So cudose to you mushroom, you in all your glorious forms.

Keanu Reeves Is: Plastic Man

In what promises to be the funniest thing ever produced, Keanu Reeves has been cast to play Eels O'Brien, otherwise known as Plastic Man, in the Wachowski's Plastic Man. Everyone knows the Wachowski brothers and Keanu are a team that can't miss, and Plastic Man is gauranteed to prove that once again. If you thought you saw energy and adventure in the Matrix movies, wait until you see Plastic Man "stretch" into action.


(This is the legit intro)

Now if that doesn't seem like a comic book adventure that should be turned into a movie starring Keanu Reeves, I don't know what is. This is the role Keanu was born to play. He seems so out of his element in all of his movies, this is sure to be no exception. I can see the look on his face now the first time he learns his body can stretch. It will be a look of bewilderment, such as the look that is always on his face and can be seen in every movie he's in (i.e. when Rufus shows up in the phone booth in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, when he finds out the bus can't go under 60 mph in Speed, when he finds out he has to coach a group of underpriveledged children in Hard Ball, when he learns his new friend Patrick Swayze is the bank robber in Point Break, and when he gets a package and it's a phone and then the phone rings and it's Morpheus in The Matrix), and will be followed by the quote, "Wow, I can, like, stretch." After that point the story pretty much writes itself. Whether this is to be a comedy or an action movie it will make no difference, because this movie is going to be fucking hilarious either way.
