LAZY SATURDAY
Well, those of you who just watched the Kentucky Derby heard the sad news that Eight Belles had to be euthanized almost immediately after the race due to two broken front ankles. That sucks.
Here are some things I found on the interwebs today.
• Paula Abdul's batshit-crazy comments after the first round of American Idol songs on Wednesday night. She tells Jason Castro what she thought of his second performance, which hadn't happened yet. Again, she should be fired. (Fast forward to about the 3:32 mark.)
• A dissertation on playing A-J in no-limit Texas hold 'em. Thank you, Hammer Player's Poker Blog, for reminding us how silly many poker players are.
• YouTube clip: What it would look and sound like had Star Wars been made around 1960 and had Saul Bass done an opening title sequence for it. I don't know who made this video but it's classic.
• A San Jose Sharks fan was killed by a shark recently. Remind me not to go to any mountains any time soon. I'm a Colorado Avalanche fan.
• You know, everyone does a Christopher Walken impression, but I think Anthony Ahern from the Australian comedy sketch show The Wedge has everyone beat. "I find it amusing, it makes me laugh...but, he's an asshole."
• An online Deal or No Deal game. I know it's not for real money, but I still get pissed when I knock out the $1,000,000 case. Also, be prepared to spend hours on this damn thing.
