Deep Throat Revealed

Okay, so Deep Throat wasn't just a composite. It was a real person. And all the speculation is gone. Hmm. Disappointment right? Does it really matter? I mean Woodward and Bernstein did a lot of the work themselves. Yeah... I don't know what I'm talking about here. Guess I gotta rent the movie/read the book again. :)

I just kind of wish we keep some of these things a secret... you know... like that pro wrestling is fake, lindsay lohan's breasts are fake, Tom Cruise is a space alien. This is information that we don't need to know right?

• And so this is how your father made money off of Deep Throat.
  You are talking about the Watergate guy, right Dad? Um... yeah... yeah....
• There are two sides to every story.
  Yes. $$$. Cizzash. Bling. Bring down a government. Write a book. Make a movie. Score the chick that wrote When Harry Met Sally. Or her sister. Either one.

First big shout out to my mother on her 57th birthday. Every year, you get one year older! Happy birthday Mom!!!

Word of the day, tumid. My gum is tumid, my #13 tooth needs root canal. Good times. And you thought I was going to use some other sentence!

Don't forget to check out the Charlie Manuel Quote of the Day!

• Making fun of Star Wars Fans.
  Making fun of Star Wars fans is the new hip thing to do. Unfortunately, it's by guys with blogs, who are otherwise nerds themselves. So it's more self-referential mocking than anything. For some reason this one pic cracks me the hell up.
• Now Mocking Pseudo-Rockers?
  This is something I can work with. When I own my own house, I will name a part of the house Hall of Douchebags.
• Akimbo: Strange name. Worse device.
  Is it just me or is this device about 10 years behind the times? Yeah we are going to get Video On Demand. It's coming. But it's not coming this way. Comcast the leader in this arena has been perfecting this for 3 years. On Demand is really awesome. The key will be when everyone gets on board.
• Conlin on the Phillies Game Wednesday Night.
  Look every championship team has a game or couple of games that mark their season. And so the Giants are struggling without Barry Bonds. But they still have guys like Moises Alou and J.T. Snow. All I'm saying is look out.
• Genius of Manuel revealed.
  If this idiot can take us to a pennant or more, I'll be fine. But his moves perplex me. I was ranting and raving on my car ride home listening as they bring in Tomas Perez instead of Chase Utley. Screaming to my Dad about it. And what happens, Perez gets a 2 run single to tie the game. Utley wins the game with a Grand Salami. I gotta be an idiot. Right?
• A$$-hole of the week Nominee: Marcus Hayes
  "It didn't hurt the moment that Mike Lieberthal, baseball's worst hitter with runners in scoring position, had just lined out softly for the second out of the eighth, bringing to the plate Utley for pitcher Ryan Madson, who had blown a 6-5 lead in the top of the frame." Lined out softly? Was he watching the same game I was. That ball was ripped. It was right to a guy. Look I'll rip Lieby if he deserves, but he's batting .375 in the last 7 days. That's why I said the other day the guy should be leading off!!! He's not knocking in runs, but it's not like he's trying to lineout softly. Marcus Hayes has an agenda. And if he wins A$$-hole of the week this week, we will prove it.
