Federer wins again!

Turns out Roger Federer owns a little bit of the old US of A. That little bit is called Andy Roddick.

You see, Thursday afternoon down in the land of sexy accents, promiscuous ladies and lazy bears, at the Australian Open, Roger Federe cruised past Andy Roddick and secured his place in the Final.

The score looked like this;

6-4, 6-0, 6-2,

I think it was Roger's three hundreth consecutive victory and Wiley Coyote's I mean Andy Roddick's nine gazillionth straight loss to the swiss man.

Roger Good, Andy Bad.....

Other things that are good;

1. Girls

2. Panthro

3. All the Thundercats for that matter

4. Transformers, namely the Autobots

5. The barbapapas. Mostly good at buliding things but still deserve to be mentioned here. (Incidentally Barbapapa's New House might be my all time favorite book)

6. Kathrine from 1987's Tv hit Beauty and the beast - Props to you if you remeber this, props or so sorry about the career Vincent.

7. Speedy Gonzalez Cartoons

Things that suck like Roddick

1. Decepticons

2. Luc et Martine books. (If you had the pleasure of attending a french school you're picking up what I'm putting down here)

3. Fido (The stupid chien from #2)

4. Mr. Gadget cartoons that I had to watch while waiting for real cartoons like Transformers and Gummie Bears

5. Gargamel and Azriel

6. Skeletor

7. Gb

Who says getting a Stanley Cup Ring is difficult?

The Calgary Flames winger Darren McCarty, following his bankruptcy filing last year, will be auctioning off some of his memorabilia. Among the items up for bid are his three Stanley cup rings he won as a member of the Detroit Red wings.

If you’re interested you need to be prepared to pony up some cash because all indications are that Glen Sather will be dropping some mad coin on this. What makes me say that? How bout the fact he’s been throwing buckets of money around trying to buy one for the last five years. Another probable winner is Mr. Wang, the GM of the Islanders because let’s face it, the 15 years of income he’s dedicated to Rick Dipietro is never gonna buy him one.

The oddest item up for sale is an urn packed with Chin wiskers. (Yuk)

Stephon Marbury is a Hero, sort of...

New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury has launched a new line of shoes that, presumably, will benefit the youth of the world. The new line of basketball shoes will sell for no more than $15 a pair.

I guess the idea is to aid underprivileged youth by giving them the opportunity to purchase quality sportswear, and even the playing field. Nice thought Stephon, I applaud your gusto but I can’t help but think of little Pablo and Xing-Xang, who were already being paid in peanuts to make shoes for existing athletic companies who are sure to now be compensated with the excreted remains of peanuts previously enjoyed by Peruvian or Taiwanese squirrels.

Stephon, you’re a true life international Robin Hood, giving to the poor that which you have stolen from another countries poor.

If you’d actually like to read the story you can here.

Is it me or are those shoes made of marshmallow? I guess if the kid finds out he's just as bad at ball with shoes, as he was without, he's foound where his next meal is coming from.
