Well we spell 'color' and 'armor' correctly ;)

Course our language is just a mishmash of others with slang thrown in for good measure.

So, sports fans, who has worse crediblity right now?  Roger Clemens or Pacman Jones?  

First. now Jones is being accused of orchestrating the shooting at the Vegas club he was busted at:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A 29-year-old man arrested for a Las Vegas strip club shooting said suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones ordered the 2007 shooting, which injured three people.

Earlier this month, police arrested Arvin Edwards of Renton, Wash., and charged him with three counts of attempted murder for the 2007 shooting at the Minxx Gentlemen's Club in Las Vegas. The shooting followed a melee inside at the club.

According to documents uncovered by NewsChannel 5, Edwards extorted money from Jones told police that another man demanded that he pay or something would happened to Jones's mother and young daughter.

In telephone interview from a Washington jail, Edwards said Jones framed him.

"I feel sorry for them and everything, but I want to let them know I'm not the person who done this. I've been shot before. I know how it feels," he told NewsChannel 5 reporter Amy Rao.



On top of being a roided up freak, apparantly Clemens is also a pervert:


NEW YORK - Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported.

"I cannot refute anything in the story," McCready told the newspaper in a story posted on its Web site Monday night.

"I have known Roger Clemens for a long time," she said, without detailing the nature of their relationship.

Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed the pitcher and singer had known each other for a long time but told the newspaper there was no sex


Whatever happened to the good old days, when guys like Mickey Mantle were just a drunk, and Billy Martin would get into a fight in a restroom every once in awhile?

One of my grandfathers pitched in the Minors in that era.  He was an alcoholic coal miner, and often pitched drunk, or at least on a good beer buzz.  It helped kill the physical pain.  Those guys would stay in there a full nine innings, some nights on double headers.  It was a TOTALLY different kind of player back then.

Actually, he only has the one fist fight (Actually he choked the guy) and he also (Last year) cussed out construction workers for closing down one of Austins major roads during rush hour traffic. (If you dont know Austin, rush hour traffic is normally like any Saturday morning before dawn on US 75, or US 635 in Dallas).

lol....
A Drunken, fightin, Texas mayor.
Whoda thunk it?
Wynn is a democrat............  and he endorsed Barack Hussain Obama for President.
BTW: Austin is a democrat party town and is without question, the biggest democrat politcal haven in Texas.

I don't expect much different out of Austin. It's like a third world country or something stuck right into the middle of Texas.  The only city that WELCOMES the homeless and gives them more rights than actual citizens.... :roll:  My wife and I have had to stop our traditional Guadalupe Street stroll we do everytime we go to Austin due to the ridiculous amount of people demanding handouts every five feet....

On the other hand, the mayor is no Kwame Kilpatrick...think Detroit would like a swap of mayors at this point?????

No, not the only one, look at San Francisco.  Used to be a really beautiful town.  Now it's like Mecca for hobos.  You have to wade through human waste on some downtown city streets.

I feel sorry for the business people there.  You can't even ask some lunatic bum nicely not to scare your customers away or crap in your shop's doorway, if you do you'll have a dozen Homeless Advocate committees on your a$$ about oppressing the rights of the homeless.  And forget walking in a park.  

It's become so bad, even the lefty moonbats who live there are actually asking the lefty moonbat city govt to take some kind of action.

Ooops, I meant the only city in TEXAS that welcomes the homeless...

Austin used to have a shanty town built on the main drag (Guadalupe) in  a large alley between two buildings.  I don't know if it's still there, but it got pretty large after awhile, making UT students have to run a gauntlet of panhandlers everytime they went to campus.

The last time we went there, my wife and I were acosted by two drug addicted parents pimping out their beautiful young daughter in front of a Walgreens.  "Pimping" her consisted of the parents shivering by a phone booth in withdrawals while their daughter sang, danced and ran around soliciting money which she delivered to her parents.  Sick.  When I went by the father asked if I had any money, I asked him for what, he said "food".  So I went inside and bought them some food (loaf of bread, jar of peanut butter, some canned lunch meat and tuna fish) came out and handed it to him.  The look on the guy's face was priceless---I suppose by "food" he meant "Heroin" so I must have disappointed him.

When we left we called the police, they couldn't have been more disinterested if we had told them a spaceship full of martians landed and were handing out doughnuts.

I saw the movie Iron Man.  Not bad.  It should help the comic book world some.  

Speaking of comic books, tomorrow is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, which isn't as good as FREE RPG DAY, but free is still a decent price.  Now all I have to pay for is the $13.90 it takes to drive three miles to the comic book store and back. 8O


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.
