HOGZILLA!

You heard it here first, Hogzilla is the premise of a new film. You can read the entire article here.

As fans of Cryptozoology, Brooks and I are glued to the TV screen whenever Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra or Almas are featured on National Geographic. Hell, I have a Holy Grail-like coffee cup of the legendary Chupacabra. Spreading the word of the Chupacabra, I routinely give away mementos. As a gift I gave Pork Chop a Chupacabra tee shirt and Meaty a Chupacabra bib. They loved them to no end.


Hey Brooks look!

Lithium Productions says the production will need 200 locals for extras and is hosting tryouts next month.

"We don't need professional actors," Trimm said. "We need real people who are interested in the movie."


I want to see you in it.

Work: The worst place in the entire world



Work is full of ass-kissing ball lickers that make our lives miserable. We all sit at work hoping and praying that some day we will either win the lottery or our office is blown over by a tornado. Man that would own.

Fridays in the spring are the best-est, cause I take them off. The wife loves NBC and left it on after she went to work, so I am subjected to The Today Show. what do I see? Some douchebag spouting off about work. Balls. I almost turned it off cause I didn't' t want to think about my stupid assed job.

I continued watching. This asshole was selling a book It's Called Work for a Reason!: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault. Campbell Brown, who happens to be in her mid 30s like me, was asking questions and trying defend some of the slacking we all do at work.

She asked the Kojak look a like about taking work home, and working longer hours. The dude said, its your fault for not doing your work while you at work.

She also asked him about idiot bosses, he said deal with it. You deal with it Cock Gobbler. Part of the problem with work is the poor management that plagues all facets of our stupid jobs. Shittiness works from top down, not the bottom up, assclown.

Campbell asked him about making personal copies at the copy machine or using postage stamps that are available at work. He said if you aren't getting paid for it, don't do it. Does that mean if someone asks me to do something that's not in my job description I don't do that either? It doesn't work like that Mr. Clean.

He used as an example your dad, when he went to work, he worked, he wasn't concerned if he was happy or not, he just worked. I don't know about you guys, but my dad hated every day of his thankless factory job. He did it because of the paycheck. He complained.

Some people DO treat work as social hour, errand running, checkbook balancing no work time, but as long as you get the work in your job done, I don't see a problem with it.

Falcons draft

Well my hopes for the draft got killed when the stupid ass Redskins took Laron Landry at #6. I wanted him really bad, and they should've taken D-Line. But I think we did alright.





At #8 we took Jamaal Anderson, DE from Arkansas. He looks pretty good from what I've seen and we needed a DE after Patrick Kerney sold out and left for a big payday. Him and John Abraham will be a good combo for a long time if Abraham can stay healthy, which is unlikely. At least now we won't have 2 undrafted players at DE like last year when both Kerney and Abraham were hurt.





At #39 we took OG/OT Justin Blalock from Texas. I really like this pick being a Texas fan. He is a guy I like and he fits our needs perfectly. He is huge and we needed to beef up our O-Line and has experience at tackle and guard. He will probably be our left guard. He is really smart too, he had one of the highest Wonderlic scores at the Combine. That's good because Atlanta has a lot of dumbasses. Rich McKay (Atlanta GM) said in the press conference yesterday that he was trying to trade back into the first round to take Blalock but luckily he fell to the 2nd.






At #41 we traded up a few spots to take Chris Houston, CB from Arkansas. Most places had him rated as the third best corner in the draft, so I guess again it's good value in the 2nd round. Drafting him means we are going to move Jimmy Williams to safety. He was our first pick last year and there has been constant debate about whether he's better suited to play FS or corner. Now he will easily win the FS spot from Chris Crocker, who is a SS who was played out of position last year and it cost us. Stand could probably cover deep better than him. Williams excels in coverage. Back to Houston, he is sorta small at 5'9 or 5'10 but most scouts say he is the toughest corner in the draft. It's about time we got another decent corner, because aside from Deangelo Hall we haven't had a decent #2 corner for a while. Jason Webster sucks something awful and Allen Rossum is even worse. Kevin Mathis was a good nickel back but he broke his neck and probably won't play again.

Overall I am really happy with the first 3 picks. After that, I think we've had a shitty draft.

In the 3rd round, we took Laurent Robinson, a WR from 1-AA Illinois State. Being a fan of 1-AA football, I'm not knocking it, but I dont understand picking him with some good linemen on the board that we could use desperately. Rich McKay also blows at drafting WRs.

In the 4th round, we took Stephen Nicholas and Martrez Milner. Nicholas is an OLB from South Florida and Milner is a TE from Georgia. We are really deep at OLB and TE so I don't really get either of these picks when we have holes that need to be filled. I don't know too much about Nicholas but Milner blows. His hands are terrible, and thats the last thing we need in Atlanta. Hopefully he is going to be an H-back or something where he can block in the running game.

For our 5th round pick, we traded it to Jacksonville for 3 6th rounders. Now we have 4. I'm pretty mad because with the 5th pick we could've had Josh Gattis who went 1 pick after when ours woulda been. We need safety depth. Also Mason Crosby, the kicker was there. I want him, because we've been using stop gaps for a few years since Jay Feely left, but he blew too so he was essentially a long stopgap.

Our first two rounds were an A+, since then maybe a C+ or B-.

Premiership Round-up

Here's a summary of what happened in the Premiership today, it's getting down to crunch time and every result is important.

The table today started out like this:

1. Man Utd 34 Played 26 W 4 D 4 L 82 Pts
2. Chelsea 34 Played 24 W 7 D 3 L 79 Pts

Both teams played early games, United against Everton at Goodison Park and Chelsea at home to Bolton.

United made it hard on themselves, going behind early on an Alan Stubbs goal in the 11th minute. It took a big deflection off Michael Carrick, or else it would've been saved easily. You would expect United to come out and score first in the second half if they had any chance to win, however that was not the case. Manuel Fernandes scored a great goal 5 minutes in and things looked bad for United.

That was until the smacktard stand-in keeper for Everton dropped a simple corner at the feet of John O'Shea who poked it in and made it 2-1. A few minutes later United had another corner, this time Ronaldo got to it and headed on goal, but the ball was bouncing around the 6 yard box and eventually former Manchester United player Phil Neville knocked it into his own net trying to clear, 2-2. About 10 minutes from time, Wayne Rooney scored a good goal to give United the lead. Then he jumped up and down in front of the Everton fans kissing the badge on his shirt. That is awesome because he used to play for Everton and he once wore a shirt under his jersey that said "Once a Blue, Always a Blue" and kissed his badge frequently. Now he's at United and he pretty much slapped all of them in the face, which is awesome, because Everton fans are faggot-asses (not as bad as the other team on Merseyside). And just to seal it, Chris Eagles scored a very neat finish in stoppage time to make it 4-2. It was pretty surprising, because he's been around forever and he hasn't looked promising for at least the past 3-4 years. I actually thought he was out on loan until a week or two ago when he was in the squad for the CL game. If someone like Drogba or Rooney had scored the goal he did it would've gotten a lot more praise.

Basically it looked like United had thrown it all away, but they came back and had a phenomenal second half and showed what champions are made of.

I don't know too much about the Chelsea game, except they dropped points at home, which was unexpected and a great boost to United's title hopes. Saloman Kalou scored once and had another which I think went down as an own goal that he forced. He's pretty good, he's one of the only players I like on Chelsea. He rapes every time he comes on but faggot Mourinho won't start him. Which is good I guess, for me anyway. Kevin Davies, who I hate, scored Bolton's equalizer that cost Chelsea 2 points. I hate him a little less now.

Now, the table looks like this with 3 games to go:

1. Man Utd 35 Played 27 W 4 D 4 L 85 Pts
2. Chelsea 35 Played 24 W 8 D 3 L 80 Pts

They play each other in 2 weeks at Stamford Bridge, which probably won't mean as much as it would have if Chelsea won today. Next week Chelsea play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, which is a really tough game. Arsenal have only lost there once this season in all competitions and that was just a few weeks ago. I think they will draw 2-2.

United plays Manchester City next week, which is never an easy game seeing as it's the Manchester derby, but I think United is playing too well to lose right now, plus Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic and maybe even Gary Neville will be back. I think 3-1 United.

Later, I will write about the developments in the relegation battle, which is really heating up.
