Shaquille O’Neal to the Cleveland goddamn Cavaliers, sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Their season ticket holders literally have the best ticket in sports – those are two crazy good entertainers playin’ for Cleveland. Last year, the Cavs showed us what team chemistry was about, coordinating routines that probably took as long as the day of practice to develop.
This year, they acquired the single best quotesmith since Yogi Berra to compliment them. I could care less if they win – I just want to watch.

Currently suffering through So You Think This Isn’t The Worst Show On Television (I think that’s what it’s called) with my girlfriend, mostly because she gradumates tomorrow, so she can do whatever she wants today. Possible having my first pedicure (no homo) later today with Bri… Bauer Bumps, alien toes and all. Some poor lady has no idea whats about to walk through her door.
I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
Ok now I know not to read your blog during my lunch break ….damn I dont need the image of your multi-colored toenails while Im trying to eat my mac&cheese !!!! Will you be getting some cornrows done toooooooo while holding your Hello Kitty in your lap….Please post Warnings next time…ha
As long as you avoid the colored toenails, it should be relaxing experience. I’m not a “girly girl”, but gee, in retrospect, I think my feet would have benefited from from a good soak after a month of multiple icetimes (several of them outdoors with negative windchills) and sweaty CCM skate smell.
Though maybe should hold off a few days until after you play Bethpage Black and go tromping through the rough and fescue (?) in search of lost balls. And besides, the sand from the bunkers won’t do your feet any favors either.
You think that’s bad:

I was looking at the TV ratings in Canada a few months ago and the top ten shows were consistently So You Think You Can Dance, American idol, law and order spin-offs, and csi spin-offs…. every night…. And seriously man, Amy watched a good 15 minutes of Real Housewives of New York city last night…
Congratulations on your engagement!
And if you were from a different generation, you would say Farrah Fawcett stole your thunder.
Anxiously awaiting the pedicure re-cap
. In honor of the engagement, did you get the heart stickers on your big toe?
This is like, one of the saddest things you’ve turned the light towards. I can’t believe so many people are so willing to sully their good names. Embarrassing.
PS – wasn’t it a rumour back in the day (untrue) that Anderson was gay? Isn’t he not helping his own cause here?
