Kevin Garnett Proves He Can Touch Rim

BOSTON—After dozens of practice-session attempts, Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett proved Tuesday that he could touch the rim of the basket when his middle finger slightly grazed the front edge of the regulation-height goal on the north...

Snoopy & Pals

Still goin' through this new Snoop, so no strong opinion yet. At this point in his career it is unlikely he's gonna put out another great album, particularly when he's goin' 21 tracks deep (as he does here). That being said, the fun of "Sexual Eruption" is well-documented and he starts the album out with some greatness, as you can hear below:


Snoop Dogg - Press Play

This next one is a remake of a Morris Day & The Time song, also done a few years back by Suga Free with a nice result:


Snoop Dogg - Cool

Yeah Bitch.

Ahhhhh.. Nothing more refreshing than taking that first morning sip of fresh brewed herbal green tea, with a spot of honey and a squeeze of fresh lemon zest. Delicious! It's like weening refreshment from the very bosom of mother earth's supple titties. Now I guess I can understand your concerns after reading that, there's nothing really cool about a piping fresh cup of green tea to jumpstart your day but don't worry, It's just sometimes I enjoy engaging in drinking a refreshing and anti-oxidant laced non-alcoholic beverage from time to time. You see, there's more to me than just partying, drug experimentation, and petty criminal violations. To truly understand my constantly warring psyche, you must look deep within my weathered eyes, grab the rat tail of my heart and squeeze with the fervor of a strangling obsessed serial killer. Yeah sure, you may know me as the dude that lobbied FOR the spread of global warming so my apartment would be closer to the shore line, and sure, I have a constantly running mini fridge with nothing more than old half eaten jar of salsa and 2 cans of Miller High Life in it, and yes I also am responsible for ending every relationship in a carefully orchestrated passively aggressive fashion. I've lied, cheated, stole, sinned, slothed, coveted, gluttoned, and abused every vice until they all degenerated into my addictions. But beneath this hardened and chiseled exterior lies a soul as soft as an emotional Sage Francis lyric in the spring time. I recycle, I've watched the movie Hope Floats in it's entirety, and I sometimes go days without showering- that's water conservation at it's finest mother fucker. And yes I am capable of raw human emotion. I am not the cold & callus individual they try to paint me as. I've even cried, For real, I have shed tears of despair. Like I've been trying to tell you, I am human after all. Granted, it was 1998 and it was during the final scene of Braveheart after doing ecstasy for a straight week, but those salty tears prove that I have a flowing river of emotion coursing through my inner most thoughts. Tough rugby dude? Pssssssh! I can be as emo as you're favorite shitty rock band or Jae-Dubb’s haircut. I'm a babbling brook of self contemplation and angst.. So let me sit back and sip my herbal tea while I bump the new Pete Rock until my ears bleed and fuck you for judging my choice of beverage.

Wal-Mart

"According to sources, the Wal-Mart proposal would allow for a promotional program that could comprise the top 15 to 20 hottest titles, each at $10. The rest of the pricing structure, according to several music executives who spoke with Billboard, would have hits and current titles retailing for $12, top catalog at $9, midline catalog at $7 and budget product at $5. The move would also shift the store's pricing from its $9.88 and $13.88 model to rounder sales prices."
Wal-Mart Article

Say what you will about Wal-Mart and their strong-arm business tactics, but I think this is a great idea. Its about time someone realizes that the market isn't really bearing $15 CD's. Personally, I would be much more willing to purchase a CD if it was under 10, compared to downloading (stealing) it if were 15 bucks. Although this will probably hurt local record shops, but they've been pretty much fucked since the advent of the internet.

Puppies!

little dogs are lame.

Cool It Now

In continuing with the tradition set this week with the "Baseball Boogie" and "Ram It", Baron Davis solidifies himself as by far the coolest player in the league with this video.

Directed by the great Emmanuelle Chriqui, of Entourage fame (which means nothing unless he tapped, which he surely did), this is part of a series of promo ads for Reebok. I didn't watch the others, but I'm sure they don't approach the greatness here.

Keep an eye on Baron's repeated attempts at slapping the net, like he's a 10 year old kid. Things like this guarantee a long run in the playoffs for GSW, which would be fun for everyone involved.
