The General

Quick homer alert, followed by quick pix, followed by random randomness:

Tonight at Piper field in Marblehead, the scoreboard will be dedicated to William A. Quigley of the Grant Rd. Quiqleys. "The General", who has been discussed here in the past, was an avid Marblehead booster and currently has 8 grandchildren participating in town sports in one form or another. Please join the Pix in raising a can of deliciousness this evening to honor this dedication to a deserving sports and family man. And General, if you are reading this from the Skybox, please forgive the Pix for the, shall we say, off color language and references.

Quick Pix this week after a rough 5-7-1 record against the line last week:

Eagles -6 at Lions
Cowboys -7 v. Bears
Panthers -3 v. Bucs
Chiefs -2 v. Manginas
Cards +7 at Falcons
Dolphins +7 at Breet
Titans -5 v. Turds
Pack -13 v. Bills
Seattle +3 at Donkeys
Rams +4 at Raiders
Wash -3 vs. Houston
Colts -6 vs Giants
Saints -5 at SF
Jets -3 vs Pats


The internets are ablaze this week with a plethora of fraud, freaks, miscreants and poseurs.












That's right, it's Christine O'donnell. The anti-beat off bird who has become famous for winning the GOP primary in Delaware this week. Aside from the fact that winning a Republican primary in Mass or Delaware is like winning "best smile" at a methadone clinic, Ms O'donnell now becomes the poster child for what is effed up with American politics. According to MSNBC, the Washington Post, New York times and other news agencies more reliable than the Pix........this wingnut has been caught lying to the about her undergraduate degree, ghost post grad courses, her income taxes, remunerating employees of previous campaigns and making one bean soup (ok, Pix made last one up). Look, when elections turn into VH 1 reality shows gone bad, it's time to rethink the process. Fortunately for the western world, she is going to get pounded worse than Montana Fishburne in the general election in 7 weeks. (or as some say, long enough for Sarah Palin to have a fake baby).

Anyone ever heard of Ryanair? This outfit is a discount airline that has in one month come up with the two worst ideas in the history of air travel. First, they have proposed doing away with the co-pilot. Why not just do away with the landing gear while you are at it? Maybe after they get rid of the pesky crew as well, they can sell seats in the former co-pilot's chair. "AHHHHH ladies and gentlemen, this is the Pix speaking to you from the cockpit and, um, we have a little situation here. The Captain has suffered a coronary and the Pix is on his 4th Bombay sapphire and tonic. It's going to get a little bumpy for a while, so we are going to take off the no smoking sign, but we ask that you remain in your seats with your seat belts securely fastened while we all careen at 400 miles per hour to our assured fiery deaths. Thank you for....................." And that wasn't even their worse idea:











This is! It's called a saddle seat. How's your nut sack, bat man? If the Pix wants a bag of broken grapes with his turbulence he will ask. And you know who doesn't like this idea either? Christine O'donnell. Look at the face on that bird. You know she has planted some special hardware in the saddle if you can smell what the Pix is cooking. The Pix has seen sadder birds in a bukakke video

In other news, it seems J Lo has agreed to take Paula and Kara's place on idol as the crying half shit faced crazy bird. Good for her. And Steven I can't stay upright on a stage anymore Tyler seems set to take Simon's place. You know who should replace Simon if not Howard Stern? The PIx. Here's a couple of quotes from last season's Pix watches Idol at home game:

"Look, Big Mike, you know we can't throw you off the show yet because we are contactually obligated to have an overweight African American on the show until the final four. So go take a seat on the couch and fake hug the chick with the corn rows."

"Um, Aaron.......here's the deal.......you know I don't like you. And it's not just you. It's just that every year we have a pre pubescent gay from the womb tweener who thinks he can take on Mariah or Kelly Clarkson. Nobody is buying it and I just don't feel like selling it. Off you go."

"Crystal, those chicklits are the worst set of teeph I have seen since that mullet wearing hillbilly Bucky in year 4. Police up the grill work or you are going to be out of here faster than the token Hispanic kid we boot in week 2 every season. That is all."

What do you think? Pix for Idol, right?

Moving on......back to football (sort of). The Pix is going to give away the "understatement of the year" award early these season. The award goes to the mother of Jacquizzy Rodgers, Heisman trophy candidate from Oregon State. In an interview with Espn this week, Ms. Rodgers was asked how she came up with the names Jacquizzy, Dequondre (his brother) and Cottera (sister). She replied, "I just kind of make them up". Indeed.

Lastly this week, congratulations are in order for Urban Meyer. This week, wide receiver Chris Rainey was arrested for threatening to kill his girlfriend. Stay classy, Chris. It was the 40th arrest of a Florida Inmator, er, Gator in Meyer's 5 years as head of the program. For some perspective, the "U" has had one player arrested in the same time frame. Well played, Urban.

Finally, the "nest" will be open from 3:00 pm until the official wife kicks everyone out of the house this Sunday (let's say 9ish). Enjoy your weekends people.

Pix out......
