Just Short

I arrived at 6 posts shy of 100 in March. I still have plenty of time to reach my goal, though, so it's cool.

$640 Million

For three different people. Shucks. Maybe next time. If I won, I would've saved some for University of Florida tuition, an amazing car, in the future. Also, Patriots and Bruins season tickets, a plot in York, Maine shopping center, a Pacman machine, and a foosball table. I'd still have 425 million dollars left over. If only. A lotta dough.

Carting

This is an amazing video. People just climb into other people's carts at Wal-Mart. The reactions are great. It seems you can add an 'ing' to anything now.

Tim Tebow - KCA

The only good thing about the once awesome Kid's Choice Awards (who knows where they went wrong) was that Tebow actually took home the Best Athlete hardware. They made the right choice rather than Shaun White who did zero this year. Congrats, Tebow!

Tim Tebow: Make Him Influential

Tim Tebow is on the voting list for the TIME 100 Most Influential People list. Vote for him! It's not looking too good, he's at 34%, but he's influential in my mind! Tebow it up!

I think I did alright. While I was looking, I came across some cool facts!

Erving Walker. Tsk. Tsk.

Florida Gator great, Erving Walker was arrested for stealing a $3 taco. Seriously? What's the point? It's $3! I don't expect this to have too much of an effect on him long term, but dude, come on.

DFTBA Second Round

The DFTBA Tournament has advanced to the second round. These 32 teams remain: Family, I Love Lucy, Leicester, Happy Endings, Tower Heist, Red Sox, The Hangover, Disney World, Friends, Psych, Man v. Food, Grown Ups, Maine, Magic, Chuck, Christmas, NBC, Disney, Six Flags, The Muppets, Gators, Bruins, Today Show, Community, Universal, Friends (TV), Toy Story, Blackstone Valley, No School, Patriots, NBA, and The Office.

Anchorman 2

Will Ferrell announced that the movie Anchorman will be receiving a sequel. This intrigues me, I should see the original.

Vote Mera

My dad would like to see Mera win this Super Sixteen tournament type deal, so vote for her!

Star Wars Ad

It's for XBOX Kinect. It's alright, not too bad. Probably liked it more because Chris Pratt, Andy, was in it.

Best Sandwich In America

That's the new show on Travel Channel. It will be hosted, by none other than, Adam Richman! Now that Man v. Food has concluded, Best Sandwich In America should fill the void. Looking forward to it! It will be an 11 week series of Adam Richman's quest to find the best in America. June 6th, 2012!

Adam Richman Writes To Me On Twitter! AGAIN!!!!

THIS IS SO AWESOME, THE BEST PERSON EVER WRITES TWICE!

Here's my tweet:

"MCAS tomorrow, what book do I bring to read when I finish, The Bro Code or America the Edible by The Greatest Person Ever @AdamRichman"

AND HE DIRECT MESSAGED ME:

"Pretty please my book!!! I have recipes and talk about sex!"

I'm dying from happiness! My hero!

Pandora, Oz, or Hunger Games World?

Not sure what the Hunger Games world is called, but I know the other two. According to The Disney Blog, there have been rumors of a falling out of the Avatar world at the Animal Kingdom. This has given way to more rumors that there could be an Oz in Disney World. If the new movie about the Wizard of Oz from Disney is a success, it will likely get the green light. Also Hunger Games suggestions, but that would just suck. Personally, I'd rather see Oz than Pandora, but I'm intrigued either way!

Jetbow

Remember I wrote about Adam Richman's tweet on Tebow? More details have arisen on the Tebow sandwich. There's not a Richwich yet, but the Tebow sandwich is called the Jetbow. Not the most creative name, but it looks amazing. 3.5 pounds of corned beef, pastrami, roast beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and on white bread. Delectable!

Watermelon Keg

That looks delicious. Now they just need to get rid of the vodka and add whatever is necessary to make it right. Like lemonade. Can't just squeeze the lemons.

The Epitome of Ugliness

Every time a member of the new Miami Marlins hits a home run this will happen:

So that joins the uniforms, logo, and most everything about the new Marlins that is UGLY!

A Foxy Reunion

• Patrick Warburton
• Calista Flockhart
• Ed O'Neill
• David Duchovny
• Jason Priestly
• Chris Carter
• Gillian Anderson
• Shannon Doherty
• Ian Zierig
• Gabrielle Carteris
• Katey Sagal
• David Faustino
• Christina Applegate

What do they all have in common? They've all been on FOX shows before. And now, the little trip down memory lane will have a 25th anniversary special on April 22nd. Go for it.

NBC's 100th anniversary is in a short 14 years. I've got three words for them. How you doin?

(In other words, NBC, do it!)

^Imagine that? Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers, The Office, Scrubs, Today, 30 Rock, Community, Parks and Rec, Law and Order, Days of our Lives, The A-Team, Bonanza, Chuck, ER, Matlock, Star Trek. That'd be crazy! The Event and Persons Unknown? Probably not, but who knows?

The Bear and the Gang

A cheesy little Bruins intro. It's cool. I like it. It's fun.

Boston Public Enemy #1

ESPN Boston has released a bracket that will decide the sports figure that Boston sports fan hate the most. The 16 competing, or rather avoiding, are Alex Rodriguez, LeBron James, Roberto Luongo, Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ulf Samuellson, Isiah Thomas, Roger Clemens, Matt Cooke, Rex Ryan, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Bucky F****** Dent, Bernard Pollard, Bill Laimbeer, and Peyton Manning. If I could pick, I'd go with A-Rod v. Rex Ryan. There's also a Boston's Most Beloved, that's whittled down to the finals. Tom Brady vs. Larry Bird. I'd go with Larry Legend. There are also Chicago, Dallas, LA, and New York brackets. I hate everyone in the Boston Enemy Bracket.

Adam Richman + Tim Tebow = My Brain Exploding

Two of the greatest people to have ever existed have been in the same 140 character section of a tweet. Adam Richman tweeted the following:

"Waaait. @TimTebow got a sandwich created for him at the@CarnegieDeli - he just got here! I'm NY root to tha fruit! Where's the Richwich?!?!"

That's pretty awesome. Richman talking about Tebow. Amazingness. Now if Tebow could respond...

My Bracket Busted

But that's the least of my worries. Another sports funk will set in. I've been beginning to shake the Patriots Super Bowl loss a little bit, but now the Gators, who made a magical run to the Elite Eight in both 2011 and 2012, had double digit leads in the second half of the game in both years, but lost both times. Once to BYU and the other to Louisville. I thought they had it, but next year, right? They've got Kenny Boynton, Patric Young, Bradley Beal (who happens to be my cousin's lab partner at Florida), and Erik Murphy. Sadly, that was Erving Walker's last game, and he was amazing. I swear to you the 2007 tourney will not be the last time the Gators win it. Mark my words. They have a great athletic program in everything. Not just football and basketball, but baseball, gymnastics, etc. It's great to be a Gator fan. And in 2012, they had a great run. Props to Billy Donovan.

Is Tiger Woods Back?

Tiger Woods finished Round Three today with a score of -11. That put him in sole possession of the lead. This time, will he be able to hold on for the win, or fade away like the last time? Go Tiger! It'd be great to see you back on top.

Do I Hear Cholesterol?

That is EXACTLY what you think it is. A grilled cheese doughnut. It's definitely not the healthiest thing in the world, but it looks delicious!

The Hangover 3

Third time's the charm? Well, the first one was the charm, the second was a wanna-be replica, but the director says that the third installment will be the last and that it will not have the same recipe as the first two. It could be rushed, though, because it's scheduled for Memorial Day 2013. Fingers crossed!

Mystery Machine

When you grew up watching the Scooby Doo cartoons, did you ever want to drive the Mystery Machine? Well, now you can! Just pay $7800 to Ray in California!

Mike Delfino

I know this is a little late, seeing as how this Sunday it will be two weeks since it happened, but better late than never right? Anywho, the best character on the show Desperate Housewives, Mike Delfino,

SPOILER ALERT ******************** DO NOT READ. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. IF YOU'VE SEEN IT, THEN BY ALL MEANS:

was shot and killed in the episode. The character that made the show worth watching. The only character I liked. Dead. What's the point? There's six weeks remaining in the show and they kill of one of the main character's husbands. It's so pointless. You deserved better James Denton.

The Best Player on the Worst Team

Tim Tebow. New York Jets. That depresses me. My favorite player will now play for my least favorite team. Why couldn't Jacksonville or New England have made a push like Adam Schefter reported. This is just going to be a disaster. Rex Ryan. Mark Sanchez. Jeremy Lin. What were the Jets even thinking? Poor Tebow. I hope he succeeds and then gets out of there as fast as possible. Free Tebow.

Dustin Pedroia - Don Orsillo Banter

The greatest baseball player of all time took some time to talk with Don Orsillo on Tuesday. He burned him. Enjoy:

'Office' Restructure

I'll give you the following information and you give me your opinion.

• Michael Scott has already exited
• Toby (Paul Lieberstein) will exit to work on the Dwight spinoff
• Dwight Schrute will stay, but will shift focus to the spinoff
• Ryan and Kelly have been rumored to be on their ways out
• Jim and Andy have restructured their contracts so they will stay throughout Season 9, but will have limited roles

Now, should there be a Season 10 of The Office, if there is a Season 9? If you answered no, you're correct! I honestly believe that Season 9, due to NBC's likely renewal of their show, should and probably will be their last season. If Jim, Dwight, Michael, Andy, Ryan, Toby, and Kelly are all gone, that's not The Office anymore, that's just awful. Please, this is a plea to The Office creators. Have a great finale with all of the cast (here's looking at you, Michael) and then conclude it wonderfully. Don't stretch it further than it should go.

30 Rock Will Go Live. Again.

30 Rock will run their show live on Thursday, April 26th! It's gonna be pretty awesome, I imagine, because the last live show was. This will technically be their 3rd and 4th due to East and West coast performances. Lookin' forward to it!

Muppets On The Hollywood Wocka Wocka Fame

To be honest, I'm surprised they weren't already, but they received a star at last! Big Bird, Kermit, and Jim Henson have already received stars, but now the entire Muppety cast is there!

Muppets On DVD

It's come so far since the first trailer, than the others, than the movie. It's actually on DVD. What a journey. Features:

• A Hasty Examination of the Makings of the Muppets
• Screen Test
• The Full Tex Richman Song
• Deleted Scenes
• Audio Commentary
• Disney Intermission
• The Longest Blooper Reel Ever Made (In Muppet History)
• Original Soundtrack
• DVD/Blu-Ray Film Plus Bonus

Where Did The Respect For John Elway Go?

I'm not even sure, but after all Tebow did for that Broncos organization, he deserved better, but now Peyton Manning's on the way to Denver and Tebow is being shopped. Free Tebow. Get him away from Elway. At this point it seems that Elway wants to sabotage and see Tebow lose. Get him to Jacksonville or New England or somewhere. Disgust. You don't deserve it Tebow.

CBS Monday

These two comedy concepts seem pretty interesting. In Two and a Half Men, Alan will be visited by the ghost of Charlie. Played by Kathy Bates. That will be humorous. The episode of How I Met Your Mother is titled The Broath. That's right. The word Bro is in there. BRO!

Just Because

I figure the more I just post this because it is awesome and must happen, the more the .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of me convincing anyone that it would be nice, increases.

Splitsville

Splitsville is going to be a new bowling alley in Downtown Disney. The concept art for the vintage alley looks pretty interesting. More details:

• Two floors. 30 lanes. 750 seats.
• Foods offered including breakfast.
• Guests will pay for hourly bowling.
• It will open in Fall of 2012.

Back On Top?

Not quite yet, but this was a good step forward. For now, Djokovic still dominates, but Federer just won a Match Play Championship against John Isner. Yes he WON! So now, this is progress.

Lego Bow Ties

It seems that everything is being made out of LEGOs these days. Bow Ties are the latest.

I Announce My Support For The 2012 Presidential Candidate Named...

Barack Obama! I have announced my support in Obama's candidacy. I always like Ralph Nader, but he's getting really old. Ron Paul interested me, but his campaign is fading fast. Rick Santorum, just no. Right now it's looking like Obama v. Romney. With a Gingrich wild card. And, well, Obama is the best option. Watch this video, you'll remember the good. He needs a full 8 years to fix these problems.

Is The Dwight Howard Saga Over?

You all remember the Dwight Howard storyline, right? He wants more pieces around him. Wants to go to New Jersey or Dallas or Los Angeles. The Magic won't trade him. He won't budge. Fights, fights, drama, drama. Well now he says he will opt in to his contract and commit to the Magic beyond the 2011-12 season. It doesn't sit right with me, but I hope he sticks around. For the sake of Orlando basketball.

Return of the Comedy

After last year's less then stellar comedic performance at the movie theaters, featuring only two standouts in my mind, Tower Heist and Bridesmaids, this weekend looks promising, at least in the minds of the critics. Two comedies, 21 Jump Street and Jeff who Lives at Home, have both gotten positive reviews from critics along with 85% and 75% ratings, respectively from Rotten Tomatoes. Now, those aren't the best scores, but they're better than last year's average of 42% for comedies. Hopefully comedies are on the up!

The Disney Blog and Fantasyland

I love the Disney Blog. At first they were another blog that arrived in my Google Reader, but now with their weekly updates on the Fantasyland expansion, they've become something I look forward to it. You should follow them. Thanks John Frost!

Happytime Murders

Strange title, right? Well, that's the new puppety product being released from Henson Studios. It's a new Puppet-Noir movie where puppets and humans coexist. It will be directed by Brian Henson, Jim's son. Here's the synopsis:

"In a world where puppets co-exist with humans as second class citizens, puppet private eye and disgraced ex-cop, Phil Phillips, is hot on the trail of the serial killer who murdered his brother and is now targeting the cast members of the famous 80s television show, “The Happytime Gang.” As the killings continue, Phil’s former flame, Jenny, is next on the list. It’s up to Phil and his ex-partner, Detective Edwards, to find the culprit, but as bad blood and old resentments resurface the clues start pointing to the only viable suspect, Phil himself. Now he’s on the run with only his wits and hardheaded determination, as he tries to solve, “The Happytime Murders.”"

The Strasburg-er

Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals pitcher, has a new burger named after him. It's called: The Strasburger. It's as menacing as it sounds.

• Combination of ground brisket, chuck, and short ribs
• Large burger bun with secret sauce
• American cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, pickle chips
• Served with cone basket of french fries and a pitcher of choice of soda
• Eight pounds
• 10,000 calories

That sounds like way too much. Calling Adam Richman.

Muppet Madness

Yes you can still fill out your MARCH Madness brackets, but when it's Muppet-ized. You can VOTE for the brackets! That's right, the Muppet Madness tournament is back! And with four new categories:

• New Characters
• Classics
• Celebrities
• Old Favorites

Here's my Final Four:

Gary, Swedish Chef, Jim Parsons, and Rowlf.

Here's the logical predictions:

Walter, Gonzo, Jim Parsons, and Rowlf.

Vote!

The Magic Kingdom

I don't know if I've said this before, but if I have, might as well say it again. This is the best opportunity EVER for the Orlando Magic. Think about these things first:

• Disney World and the Magic are both in Orlando.
• Disney World's most popular park is the Magic Kingdom.
• A kingdom is a noun. Out of person, place, thing, or idea. It is a place.
• Basketball arenas are also places.
• The Orlando Magic are called the Magic.

Do you know where I'm going with this? That's right. They should rename the Amway Center to the Magic Kingdom! It fits so perfectly.

Walt

Stupid hoax. Apparently the 'Walt' poster was just a painting created by a French artist. So it's not real. Even though it should be. Because it's amazing. And a good idea. And it has to happen. Maybe it will. Who knows?

Walt Disney fun facts:

• Remember how he once lost the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and that forced him to create Mickey Mouse? Well, Disney got the rights for Oswald back by trading sportscaster, Al Michaels, for him.
• His last words were 'Kurt Russell.' The actor has no idea why.
