Congratulations to the 2001 American League Champion New York Yankees. Every other MLB team can go screw.
I'm a firm believer that 6 games, 9 innings and 1 out is the LONGEST a World Series should last, and anything that happens after that should be cleared from the record. So I am going to remember only good things from Sunday night, when I was surrounded by friends in a packed NYC sports bar, partying like it was 1996 .. and 1998 ... and 1999 ... and 2000.
Police use tear gas to disperse unruly crowd — For as many morons as we have in New York, we still don't set fires to our own city when we lose, let alone when we win. I'll never understand this idiocy.
Dave Barry on the origin of baseball — I saw in Dave Barry's archive this column on a sport than could only appeal to cities that never sleep.
* The Sports Guy's Game 7 Diary includes this priceless line: "10:38: Dave Justice sets the record for "Most Hits In A World Series Game By A Corpse" with a single to left."
* Cartoonist Kurt Snibbe recaps the World Series.
* The Most Clutch Sports Teams Ever — The 1996-2001 Yanks deserve a joint entry. When it was all over, they dominated MLB with four world championships. The fact that were not always the best team on paper but came away with those results is a testament to the fact that they came up biggest when it mattered most.
RANDOM WEIRDNESS
* The Worst Halloween Costumes Ever — All your favorites are here: Gabe Kaplan, Scott Baio, Baretta, Flipper, Tattoo and a bunch of other regrettable ideas. A very entertaining site.
* John and MJ are your average couple from Columbus, Ohio. There is one thing special about them, which is that they maintain a web site with some of the wackiest party pictures I have ever seen.
* Opie and Anthony's Man Boob Contest — Got milk? These guys might be able to supply some.
* Adam Curry's MTV Chronicles is like a tell-all book, only its a web site and you don't have to pay to read tales of Ozzy Osbourne pissing himself and
how Bobby Brown once asked people to sniff his fingers after an encounter with Whitney Houston. It's a great site. Simple, clean, funny and, above all, interesting.
* Infectious Awareables — Your favorite diseases, now in fashion.
* Slapshot Tribute — Download tons of audio clips from the movie in MP3 format.
* My Life as an Intersexual by Max Beck — It's the story of a man and a woman, and there's only one main character.
* Cleaning the Fucking Kitchen for Dummies — A lot of college kids are going to print this our for their roommates.
* Monopoly Cards We'd Like to See — Includes: "Done giving a rat's ass. Blow life savings on hookers." Don't forget Billboards We'd Like to See.
* Celebrities Without Makeup — Pictures of your heroes sans pancake. Oh, the humanity.
* Last week I saw U2 at Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey. I'm not the world's biggest U2 fan, but it was a great rock show. The ultra-conservative New York Post doesn't have time for bleeding-heart liberals, so they have this message: Hey, Bono. Just sing. Here's a review and pictures from the concert held days earlier at Madison Square Garden.
* It always cracked my up how businesses openly support the use of marijuana by selling pipes, bongs, etc. I swear the busiest store on my college campus made 90 percent of their money from tokers. All you smokers might want to pick up what newspapers report as "paraphernalia" at Peter's Pipes. The question I have is, why the disclaimer that the site is only for people 18 years or older?
* Win a Dream Weekend to See Britney Spears — The latest benefit auction is for the nation's rich to send their daughter to Las Vegas to meet Britney Spears. Britney ... in Las Vegas ... I know I've got an extra $15,000 laying around here somewhere.
LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE
* Yes, This Is About Islam — Salman Rushie's editorial in the New York Times argues that a vast number of "Muslim" men have hijacked Islam and it is not just another religion. Whatever their religion is called, these people's views on women, music, sex and modern society is fanatical. Thus, the demonstrations in support of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda — and promises of more terror. As William F. Buckley wrote, if this is a holy war, bring it. Our national security is at stake.
* The Missing Declaration — William F. Buckley calls for Muslim leaders to unequivocally proclaim their disdain for the attacks of Sept. 11. In writing. With conviction. For all to see.
* The New York Times also posted thumbnail images of all 343 firefighters lost in the WTC attacks. Look at them from time to time if your resolve is being tested.
* Not Enough Might — Charles Krauthammer's editorial in the Washington Post argues that the war is not going well, that a war is not fought by pinpointing military targets but scaring the living hell out of the opposition. Somehow this turned into a mission to liberate Afghanistan, when it should be to kill those who facilitate the murder of our citizens.
* Our post-Sept. 11 world is so crazy, I'd cry if I didn't laugh. And these acidic Sept. 11 cartoons made me laugh.
* NYC May Face Mental Health Crisis — The mental help community is gearing up for a crisis to come. Suicides are a tragic certainty. The amount of people affected is just too large. How's that for something to look forward to?
* The recently hacked NewYork.com has a virtual tour of the former Twin Towers. I walked between those buildings many times to attend work meetings.
* New York Defender Flash game — The object of this game is to shoot incoming airplanes before they hit the towers, which crumble after a few hits. This game's existence interests me, but I'm not sure why it does.
THE NEWSDESK
* The Prize-Winning Genitalia — If I told you than a 17-year-old won a costume contest by dressing as a vagina, you might not be surprised. If I told you his mother said, "There's nothing inappropriate about what's given all of us life," you might want to read the story.
* Women Who Weigh More Earn Less — Of course. The highest-paying jobs are for actresses, models and strippers.
* Neighbor's Wife Dies in Sex Game — Hand cuffs, fine. Hand guns, no.
* CNN Has a Doomsday Plan in the Can — The news network plans to cover the end of the world with a videotape.
THE WEEKLY LADIES
* Jules Asner is the latest Maxim Girl. I bet some of you would want to get wild on her. See Jules and Gary Coleman test-drive a hummer.
* Speaking of wildly hot Wild On women, check out pictures of the patriotic Brooke Burke in Stuff magazine.
* Thanks to Lame King for reminding me of this 2001 Spring Break photos page, which contains pictures of bikini contests held as late as October.
* I was at Who's NYC, a crazy bar on Manhattan's Upper East Side, this past week. That place served more hoochies then a Las Vegas dentists' convention. I saw more tattoos than Tommy Lee's physician. If you're lucky, some of the highlights will be posted on their web page. I'm just lucky I didn't get my ass kicked for muffing a secret handshake.
* Did I point to the photos from Club Rubber's Red, White and Blue Party yet? Oh beautiful for spacious lungs. Here's even more photos from the same party.
* Unless you have something better to do, start checking out the 120 entries for Sexiest Woman in the World.
* Terry Divyak has a woman's first name, but he's a man, so don't get too excited yet. Anyway, he takes pictures of models all day and gets paid for it, so I don't care if his name was Mildred. He's got some shots up from a few recent shoots in Cancun, and I was hoping to send at least 1,000 horny toads to his site. Would you mind helping me out?
