I can’t even count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to lay the smack down on the street. Especially about a parking space. But I may have met my match in this guy. Maybe.
New Jersey is celebrating the age-old sport of hot air ballooning this weekend and balloon enthusiasts statewide are pinning all their hopes on a virgin to bring good weather.
According to an imported superstition, good weather can be assured through a ceremony involving a virgin, some knives and fresh, whole onions and peppers.
Unfortunately, it’s a lot less sexy than it sounds, and not just because of the setting:
[The virgin] drives a golf cart to the four corners of the festival site, picks up some grass, mumbles some random words, then penetrates the produce with a knife before jamming it and the knives into the ground.
Victoria Brumfield is the lucky lady in question, who took over as the event’s token virgin when her sister moved to California in 2005. To be safe, though, officials at the event should check the authenticity of her status. I mean, it’s New Jersey. She’s probably tainted, is what I’m trying to say. Read more!
Listen, I don’t know anything about Europe save what I’ve seen from a few post cards. But apparently shit’s crazy over there. I can’t believe some of the things they let their athletes get away with. It’s anarchy. Well, David Beckham’s got another thing coming now, let me tell you. And PETA’s gonna be all over his ass if he doesn’t watch out.
Apparently, the world’s greatest best looking futbol player favors Adidas “Predator” cleats made of kangaroo skin – oh yea, you can make shoes out of anything with skin – and he wears them as part of his multimillion dollar endorsement deal with the athletic giant. Well, animal rights activists, when they had time before their new Michael Vick agenda, sued Adidas and all-out hates the Australian government for allowing the death of such a loveable creature. They’ve been losing on account that kangaroo hunting is part of Australia’s plan to keep them from overpopulating the country. Until Tuesday, when California banned kangaroo skin.
The legislation still has to be cleared, and Beckham allegedly switched to synthetic Predators last year, but good god, Becks. If there’s one group you wanted to steer clear of coming to the States it’s the animal people. They’re a relentless pain in the ass, those ones.
If you're not already sick of the hype surrounding David Beckham - and all this before he even plays with the L.A. Galaxy - get ready to be: Becks has his own reality show.
That's right, he's following in the footsteps of his wife and Paula Abdul, and will document his first Major League season here in the good ol' U. S. of A. Not only will you watch him sit on the bench during games because of his sore ankle, you'll get to watch him sitting around behind-the-scenes because of his sore ankle. There will also be interviews and, hopefully, some more hot shots of him feeling up Posh.
The show is slated to air next Wednesday, the 25th, on the Fox Soccer Network, but it may be postponed based on whether or not Beckham actually takes the field this Saturday against Chelsea - you know, because he's being paid to and all.
