2011 Mother of the Year Already?

Here's an early candidate for "2011 Mother of the Year"...

The NY Post reported that a pregnant Crestview, Florida woman who was caught tossing back some brews by cops, told them that she was drinking to relieve the stress of being six-months pregnant. The unidenified woman made her boozy excuse after getting arrested for punching out her husband.

Somewhere that kid's like, "Great...my mom's a drunk and my dad's a bitch."

Some Great Quotes...

-The Mets held a press conference to introduce new General Manager Sandy Alderson. I guess his opening statement could've been a little bit better. When introduced as the new Mets General Manager, Alderson said,

"I view the position as General Manager of the Oakland...excuse me, of the New York Mets, as really the best job available in baseball."

Sandy, just a heads up...maybe be drop "Oakland" and "available" from that statement. Just a thought.

-New York Giants DT Barry Cofield on Redskins fans chanting "Green Bay Won" during the Giants/Redskins game indicating the Giants were eliminated from the playoffs...

"Their fans are all cheering and what-not. That shows you the state of their team, that they have to cheer about us failing. When you have no success, those are the kinds of things that excite you."

-I was walking down the street a couple days after NYC just got over 20 inches of snow. At this point, a majority of the streets in the city were still covered with snow...3 days after the storm. As I'm walking, a Dept. of Sanitation truck parked and two workers got out and started walking towards me. As they're talking, one of the guys crumples up a piece of paper and tries to toss it in a garbage can maybe a foot away from him. He hits the edge and it falls on the ground. He looks at it and says to his co-worker...

"Ehh...whadda ya want me to do?"

Doesn't pick it up and walks into a deli. I guess now I'm not that shocked that all our streets are still not plowed.

The Paid Programs.....

I'm gunna touch on just a few paid program items that kinda make me question the existence of human intelligence, or lack there of...

First, the Fushigi Ball...https://www.fushigiball.com/default.aspx?mid=742426 which, shockingly, isn't using the guy pictured above as their spokesman...

Somewhere David Bowie is smiling for a few reasons.

A) his mind-boggling craft of somehow twirling a magic gravity ball between his fingers is finally catching on,

B) his residuals from an unexpected hike in "Labyrinth" DVD sales has bumped his income up, OR

C) he finally has a group of people to hang out with on Saturday nights

And what the hell are you gunna do when you get a Fushigi?.....besides more acid.

Second, the Pajama Jeans https://www.fushigiball.com/default.aspx?mid=742426

What a wonderful idea.

Have we gotten so lazy that we've now decided that there's just way too much effort that has to be put into changing out of our pajamas...or vice versa?

"Pajama jeans are shaping up to be the newest fad." Seriously? Well screw the iPad.

And if I ever see someone at the gym working out in these, I will punch them square in the face.

Third, not even sure of the name of this one, but the thing that "makes your life more convenient" by cutting hard plastic. Apparently we have now officially run out of paid program ideas. And we're now just onto infringement ideas. Cause they're called scissors.

All of which lead me to my next thought...I need to start going to bed earlier.
