Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Justice Exits Stage Left In Florida, Plus The Open Brings High Drama To The Highlands
A racial divide driven further
By the mentality of the herder
What George Zimmerman did
Is stalk and kill a kid
A law that legalizes murder?
Pot, a gun and someone else’s
car
Did P.J. Hairston go too far?
Roy Boy hasn’t done a thing
Losing his best player would
sting
Oh Carolina Way, there you are
Leadership lacking in a big way
Confusion is reigning the day
‘Tis the summer of discontent
When no one said what they meant
The beach beckons is what I
would say
Supposed to be elite and outta
reach
Just another douche clubber on
South Beach
Support for Hernandez on a hat
Nothing to defend for that
Pounceys, class is something you
can’t teach
The Open Championship is back
Muirfield is the legendary track
Course is baked and not at all
breezy
Drives going 350, easy
That’ll change on the weekend,
that’s a fact

Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 67
#1
A
fascinating (well, to some anyway) look at the evolution of branding for the “Star
Wars” franchise. Goes to show how many decisions have to be made just under the
surface level, and how subtle tweaks can make such huge impacts from a marketing
perspective.
#2
The
intersection of love, science and technology, in the eyes of a deaf child
hearing for the first time. Good stuff.
#3
Grunge
guitarist turned Special Forces turned Ivy League student? Sure, I’ll read that.
#4
Because
who couldn’t use a listing of the top 36 cheap American beers?
#5
The Golfalyzer speaks directly to me in a hilarious way. They have correctly
identified a line that exists wherein you go from Jack (and Coke) Nicklaus to (Overly)
Happy Gilmore.
#6
So
a Wampa throw rug exists. It is kind of expensive and will likely get
Chewbacca-like with dirt in no time flat. Yet it exists.
#7
Speaking
of Chewie, apparently he can be channeled through a guitar. A “Rock Star: Air
Wookie” franchise can’t be far behind ...
#8
When
best wishes go wrong: That time I wished you Happy Corn on the Cob Day.
#9
It
was only a matter of time, dude: Lebowski tats! The Walter one’s pretty good
... the Dude one looks kinda like Kato Kaelin with a goatee.
#10
This is some strictly “Mission Impossible” shit from
babies escaping from cribs. And as if this weren’t terrifying enough in terms
of what I have to look forward to, this happens at a slightly older age.Monday, July 15, 2013

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIX: Deceit Shames N.C. On A Global Scale, Plus The MLB’s Steroid Era Never Really Ended
We are the theater of the absurd
Embarrassment not a
strong-enough word
North Carolina, once a beacon of
logic
Now a bastion of intolerance
that’s toxic
A national disgrace, if you
haven’t heard
One of King’s best recent books
Now a TV show worth a coupla
looks
“Under the Dome” translates OK
The story itself carries the day
Will drag you along by its hooks
Read about the ACC if you dare
Did too much research, if you
care
Florida schools return to power
Cheating and arrests make the
news hour
Hey, at least there’s football
in the air
How long do you pay for a bust,
man?
Check out Bobby Bonilla’s payoff plan
Bernie Madoff was involved
So there’s that mystery solved
Welcome to life as a Mets fan
The new wave of baseball cunts
Cheated the system once
They call him Lyin’ Ryan Braun
Everyone in the game wants him
gone
Suspend him for a year, the ‘roiding
dunce

Be Thankful And Hug Yours ...
In a world with too much divisiveness and not enough heroes, there's one thing we can all agree on: these are the only true heroes we have left.
Happy Fourth of July.
