Can you say, Wacko?

So apparently there is a blogger who is so amazing that he has made up the authority for himself to “review” other peoples blogs. His royal toolbagster has finally reviewed Mind of JAKEBETT! Luckly I didnt take it personal and in fact I think its pretty funny. With that in mind here is the review. Oh and by the way, this is not a foriegn blog.

Review Of JAKEBETT!’s Site Banner

Published October 30th, 2006 Blogging , Reviews , Blogroll

Let’s talk about site banners. Or even better, you shut up and I’ll talk about site banners. Your site banner, or your logo, is the first thing that a critic sees when he visits your site. It is a vital tool in encouraging experts to let their eyes continue down the page rather than clicking that NEXT BLOG button. We all know this, right? Well could someone please tell http://y2jake02.wordpress.com/?!!! I mean, holy shit!

What’s the first thing I notice when I look at the monstrosity of a banner? Big Capital letters that read JAKEBETT! It’s not the first word of their Blog title. The title has a mind (Dire choice of word) and an of that preceed it but as they are lower case I assume they are not as important as as the grand JAKEBETT! Apparently the word JAKEBETT! is the be all and end all in this author’s world.

First off. JAKEBETT! isn’t even a word, okay? It’s like a big capitalised pile of nonsensical shittyness. Is this f***ing website even in English? I’m asking myself. JAKEBETT! Is it the blog for some Swedish self-helf group full of suicidal rubber merchants? This problem is compounded by the fact that there’s another whore’s handbag of a word directly underneath it- SMELLLLLLLLL-LA-LA-LOUW! That’s not a f***ing word either! Now I’m thinking this is definitely a foreign blog. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against foreign words. I just don’t ever want to have to look at them or have them in my face when I’m surfing the web. Ever! It takes me all of ten minutes to calm down and wash myself before I realise that there are other words, English words, on the banner also.

What we clearly have here is somone selling out. Someone trying to appeal to immigrants and make his blog appear as though it has foreign words but lacking the ken or intelligence to use foreign words that ACTUALLY EXIST (see I can capitalise too JAKEBETT!). Why appeal to immigrants? America is clearly appealing enough to them without you making up words to further entice them. My bleeding eyes wander and I see a pathetic attempt to spell the word Cooking at the end of the banner and I get so angry that I want insects to lay eggs inside my brain and the larvae to burst out and chew said brain into a swirly mush. I cannot stick it more and I surf on. Pathetic. Sickening.

R.I.P. TOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!

The following article is courtesy of WKBW Channel 7 and is a total breath of fresh air……

Good news for Buffalo-area commuters who travel Interstate 190.

Tonight’s commute home is toll-free. In fact, any trip on the highway will be toll-free from this point on.

The state Thruway Authority this morning voted to eliminate toll collections at a pair of toll barriers on I-190 in the city of Buffalo.

Under the plan, the toll barriers will remain in place, requiring motorists to slow down as they approach the booths. The booths will be removed next year.

The plan was worked out after it was agreed to use 14 (m) million dollars in pork barrel funds from the state Senate to cover the loss of a year’s worth of toll collections at the two toll barriers.

Buffalo-area civic and business leaders had complained for years that the I-190 tolls were an unfair tax on commuters heading to and from their jobs.

GRIDIRON HEROES!!!!!!

 

CLICK HERE TO HEAR IT

(Chorus)
Forward down the field,
A charging team that will not yield.
And when the Blue and Silver wave,
Stand and cheer the brave.
Rah, Rah, Rah.
Go hard, win the game.
With honor you will keep your fame.
Down the field and gain,
A Lion victory!

GO LIONS!

The Lions fight song, entitled “Gridiron Heroes” dates back to the late 1930’s. When the team become a part of Detroit, owner G.A. Richards called for a fight song. Wayne State University director of bands Graham T. Overgard, who was also the Lions director of entertainment, penned the lyrics and music to “Gridiron Heroes—The Victory Song of the Detroit Lions”.

Still one of the oldest team fight songs in the NFL, Gridiron Heroes is still played after every Lions score. The tradition will be carried over to Ford Field.

THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST PART OF THE TRIP TO DETROIT!!

Take a penny, leave a penny controversy

“Never have I seen such abuse of the take a penny, leave a penny tray.”

- Apu  Nahasapeemapetilon (aka: Apu du Beaumarchais)

I am entirely willing to admit a miscomunication that I had for a long time when I was young. I could never understand the take a penny leave a penny. I always asked, “If you need a penny, then how could you possibly leave one?” Well I then came to understand that you would be expected to leave one the next time you come to the establishment that you took the penny. This can be a bit confusing for a young person but I’m glad I eventually figured it out. Above is a quote from Apu from The Simpsons that particiularly stuck in my mind when I thought about this topic.

 

AUNT RONNIE OFF HER ROCKER!!!

Here is the transcript of a very random phone call between myself and my mother aunt. She is a very nice woman but sometimes she can be a tad bit off her rocker

JAKE: Hello

Ronnie: Adam!!

JAKE: no, this is jake

Ronnie: Well is this Jacob or Adam?

JAKE: Its Jake!

Ronnie: oh alright Jacob…

JAKE: Hi!

Ronnie: Oh hi, yeah…. Jacob, did Adam get married?

JAKE: no

Ronnie: Someone told me he got married

JAKE: no no no no no no, who told you he got married?

Ronnie: Oh……….., Someone told me

JAKE: oh, ok

the conversation then turned to how each of us was doing and whether or not we were damaged by Arborgeddon. I a sneaking suspision that no one told and she was just calling to find out for herself.

Can you say, Bad Timing?

So how crazy is this? A new holiday ornament that features santa claus flying plane in true cory lidle style is being offically licensed by the MLB. The ornaments will reportly not be pulled and apparently are just being considered bad timing. This kind of thing is so crazy but yet so expected.

TURBO VAC!!!!!!!!!

(photo courtesy of menkind.co.uk)

The Turbo Vac sweeps the whole car with a powerful cleaning action that can tackle rugs and upholstery with ease.
 Sucks-up dirt, even sand, from floors and boot. Handy crevice tool digs deep between seats and vents for that finishing touch.
Compact in design, it fits into the car’s glove compartment.
Plugs into lighter receptacle. With pop-open dirt trap, cord and tool storage.

 

My new BEST friend and is a total life saver. Possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread!

 

Detroit is full of “Cheese Dicks” and S.O.B.’s

(photo courtesy of kissfanshop.de)

So the past  weekend was the Annual Bett Bills Road game Road Trip. It was good to get away from the October Surprise, which is a terrible name and a whole other post all together. I enjoyed watching the Tigers (barf!) clinch the AL Pennet in a bar full of stupid poopy head Detroit….ians. Not only wasnt I drinking, I was standing, good time. The people at the customs at the borders were nice. A weird guy had dad roll down the window and said to me, “Oh, Hi.” We went to restaurant in downtown D-town where the waiters wouldnt look us in the eye. I thought it was odd until I saw the “S.O.B.” on the menu. It was a 1 pound burger, that if you finished on your own you would get free desert. Dad helped me so I screwed them over and still got the desert. It was rasberry cheesecake which was very suttle and tasty. To top everything off my uncle coined a very random new insult, “CHEESE DICK”

If you are wondering where the mention of the Bills game is, well, there is none.

Logo Stealers

So it turns out that Howard University Athletics have the same logo as the Buffalo Bills. The only difference is the Howard logo has the word “BISON” in the red stripe. If the Yankees are not getting any money for this they really should be so I hope this informs them on this crazyness.
