Boski's Blogopoluza!

Blogger is pushing their new Beta version. Should I change over, or am I being sold undercoating? I just want to know.

I am just going to have to do this the old fashioned way. I am just going to link it. I know as soon as this is entered there will be all my entries back to back to back.

I know I am late on this, but how about Clinton last Sunday on Fox News. Surprise, surprise the media only seems to want to talk about the "crazed" Clinton. Thank you Daily Show for showing us the BS.

I am so glad that Bill let him have it. He took their sucker punch, got up and then and then raised them a cue ball in a sweatsock beating, with the facts and an honest answers.

I feel Jon Stewart sums exactly how I feel at the 2:00 minute mark of the clip.

The only thing I wanted was for Mr. Clinton to go all Tombstone on them,

"All right, Fox News . . . you called down the thunder, well you got it. The Neo-Cons are finished you understand. I see a mindless ditto head or Bush lackey. I will work to vote that person out. So run you cur, RUN!. Tell all the other neo-cons curs there will a be a change coming these elections. And you tell them I am bringing the feed up electorate with me!"

What's the hold up? I posted something yesterday and it is still not here. So can you please tell me when I should expect to see 8 copies of the same post since I thought it did not go through. Thanks.

It looks like your new movie with Dane Cook will be so bad, that it will make people forget about the Dukes of Hazard.

I will say the movie company was smart at least with the trailers, since they keep your talking to a minimum.

Wow, this film may be Freddie Got Fingered bad.

I was made the luckiest man in the world. I still can't beleive she said yes, even after eight years she still loves me. She is so getting sainthood for this.

Thank you to my wonderful wife for marrying this wack job.

Well kids, I am off to see that wife of mine.

You want me to believe Ashton Kutcher as a Coast Guard Swimmer?

Well there is not enough CGI to make me believe this one.

As for you Mr. Former CSUF Alum/Crash Davis, just stick to giving the baseball program money and making baseball movies.

It was a nice weekend. Even though we were in Vegas for less than 24 hours, and we had to spend a couple of hours out at the Las Vegas Speedway, it was a fun trip. In fact it was the first time I came back with more money than I started with. $110 in fact, maybe because I only gambled for about 2 hours total, but still I won money. Let me try to bullet point the highs and lows.

• When you get to Vegas what is the first thing you do? That is right, you go to the Hofbrau in Las Vegas. Hey we had a coupon for some beer. Also I have been on beer kick, and hey it's Octoberfest time. So we had some German grub and it was not bad.
• Finally made it back to the Hard Rock. We had not been in since 1998. A lot has changed, but we still love it, maybe not as much as we love The Venetian, but we still love it. Even with the fact that there are too many people there trying way too hard. But you could say that about Las Vegas.
• Thanks to the guys at the craps table who helped me make money.
• Big ups to USC, Army, Boise State, Michigan State and Oregon State for making the Boski 5 team parlay roll into the station. Yes, that is right I hit a 5 team parlay. Sure I only put $10 down on a ticket, and I only made about $30 on, but still I did it. Along with that, I also have to thanks for that extra half point I got on Michigan State game. I needed the extra .5 point since the Spartans blew a 17 point lead. That .5 point won me another $18.50 for me, on a seperate bet.
• The place we stayed was alright, it was right next to the convention center. Not a casino but we got a deal on the room. It looked out on a parking lot. It made me think what the place looks like during Comdex. IT pros and techies out there tailgating. I can see them downloading BBQ on their lap tops.
• Las Vegas Motor Speedway - We had to go out there for business. The person who was getting us in to the race unfortunately got into Vegas late because of weather, so we could not get in there early. Our plan was to schmooze and get out of there, but the best laid plans.
• It was interesting seeing the NASCAR trucks racing, but it was loud and it kept us away from the glittery goodness that is Vegas. Also I remembered what I pay for gas and I was watching these guys waste gas driving in circles.
• We did make a break before the race ended to escape the full rush out. Headed back to the Hard Rock to dine at a place called Simon. It was a very nice meal and we had an awesome time talking to rep who treated us to the race.
• Had the best chocolate croissant ever at The Venetian. It was fresh out of the oven and it was heaven.
• Had an easy drive home, shed another tear for the Bun Boy.
• Got home and checked out the new music hall that open up with big fan fare. They were having an open house, so we checked it out. The place still has some edges they need to finish. I was surprised they opened it with everything not done, but I am no expert.
• Had a great time watching the Broncos win. I think Javon Walker is still running free some where in New England. Great win for the Broncos, keep it up.

I need to talk about a tragedy that befell me.

A moment that is equal to driving hours to see Santa, only to see him get shot by the Easter Bunny. Then finding out that the only reason Easter Bunny shot Santa, was he was forced to by the Tooth Fairy. Who had him strung out on H, all the while making snuff films.


The Bun Boy in Baker is closing.


I never thought I would type those words. Very soon people who drive the 15 will never have the opportunity to see this:



Sadly Baker and the rest of the region that is the Gateway to Death Valley will now be Mad Greek Country from this point on. The Bun Boy will be replaced by this character.



It is just not the same, it will never be the same. When I was a younger man I remember a good friend of mine who I worked with at Disney. My man Erk, is Mr. Vegas, and I watched him one night talk to another former Mouse worker talking about Vegas. They spun many a wonderful tale of that magical town. In their telling of these tales, they spoke of Baker, and the Bun Boy. I found out that it had burned down, this place was like the Phoenix and it rose from the ashes!!! A couple of months later I made my first trip to Vegas. That trip was my first entry to Bun Boy Country. When I saw the thermometer, and saw the restaurant sitting under it's shadow. It hit me. This place was going to be a joke that I was going to run into the ground. Sadly the joke only lasted 12 years. But in those 12 years I did make stops at the Bun Boy.

I will miss it all.

I will miss the placemats. How in the hell will ever find the Furnace Creek Golf Course? I want to know where I can go suffer sun stroke while golfing.

I miss the exchange of cash on bets on what the temp reading will be on the Big Thermometer. I had not won since 1996. This last weekend I lost twice to the Better Half.

I will miss the miniature ketchup and mustard you used to get.

I will miss the frying pan in the restaurant showing you the temp is out on the pavement

I will miss watching the traffic roll along I-15

I will miss the Bun Boy Hotel. A no tell motel, that I have never spent any time at, but I will miss it.

I will miss the Bun Boy Gift Shop. They will have to rip my Bun Boy T-Shirt off my dead cold body.

What I will miss the most is not using the city of Baker for my fantasy sports teams. I even took the time to make a logo for one of those teams. Thanks to my love of the Gateway to Death Valley, I was able to make a fantasy football league change all the team names, to sites along I-15 (The Mad Greeks, Calico Ghost Town, the Jean Splicers and another favorite the Pahrump Shakers). All of this was apart of my master plan to bring major sport franchises to the 383,214th largest sports market. Well I wasted $500 bucks trying grease the skids to get the environmental impact report on the future Bun Boy Sports Complex thru the red tape.

The Better Half and I sat, this past Saturday morning, shocked, stunned and sadden to know that the Bun Boy was going away. It was like a part of my childhood was eaten by a cougar, but not as cool.

I am taking off and please look after the blog while I am out. Hopefully I will have a good time in Vegas so I can regale you with more of my nonsense.

Any respect I had left for you is now gone. As some one how has suffered at the hands of captors it makes me scratch my head. Same goes for you Senator Graham you a formal Naval JAG.

This all makes me sick.

Arrrrghhh!

I just had to get that out of my system. I know we are all coming off our post "Talk Like a Pirate Day" hangovers. Let me say, I had way too many tankards of Grog and Liquid Paper chasers at work. I think I may have pillaged gift shop, so I am going to have to lay low for a little while. Anyone need a teddy bear or a copy of People, I got you covered. Man I can tell you that I did not feel pretty the next day. When will I ever learn.

I would like to take umbrage with your comments yesterday at the U.N..

Mr. Bush is not the devil.

Dick Cheney is, you moron. The devil as bad as he is, has a brain and just wants to be a dick. Mr. Bush is more a dumber and less imposing version of Biff from Back to Future.

I am not the biggest fan of Mr. Chavez. I respect that he wants to help his country by staking its own path. So far he has been able to get some things done with his social programs. Time will be the true test to see if this will work. Those programs, ironically are funded mostly by U.S. dollars. Since he has oil and we are still dependent on it. He is a man who has the support of his people who have elected him, so he should lead how he see fit for his nation. Yes I know he has tinkered with the courts and made things difficult for the opposition parities, to which I say BOOOO, but he is in charge and till that is changed by the people of Venezuela then we have to accept it. I am also not for his stoking of flames, in the region and the world. I know he is angry and wouldn't you be if you felt a country was out to kill you. I know the bombastic lashing out does win him support at home and through the world, but I don't think it is constructive for the long term. Chavez wants to stir things up not because he is not a fan of the U.S., but it he want to drive up the oil market. Any fears or doubts he can raise. He can generate more cash. He wants to stop selling to the U.S. and find other markets he could sell. An example of this is that he wants to sell to China. But to sell and deliver to China, Venezuela has to do it at a higher cost to themselves. So this will lead to less money for Chavez's social programs. So if the market was higher, Venezuela would be better off. (thanks NPR, I hope I got that all right, if not I am sorry and if you do know please let me know where I went wrong). If he can do that successfully for the long term and not be dependent on U.S. money then he would be very happy.

Lastly, I wished his anger at the U.S. would have lead to him recalling Twins pitchers Johann Santana. That bastard has been carrying the Twins past the White Sox. I also wish he would have also recalled Freddie Garcia for most of this season as well.

I will say next to Kruschev's shoe pounding, the day the ran out of hot dogs at the cafeteria (due to Boutros Boutros Ghali having the munchies after baking on the herb) and lest us not forget the Bingo incident of 1983. It has been a contentious couple of days at the old U.N.

Okay that is all I have your today. I hope I have not made myself look like a complete boob on this.

Roadie to Vegas!!!!

Next stop the Bun Boy restaurant in Baker.

Okay I should not get too revved up. This is close to being a turnaround trip. Were going out to witness Neck Car Truck racing, this is for the BH's work, long story. We're being treated to witness the event, so why not.

Even though we are not staying at a casino, I do not care. Since before last December it had been seven years in between visits. So when the opportunity arises I am taking it. So, I will be up very early on Saturday and driving back early Sunday. I will not have the opportunity to do what I really love doing in Vegas in the Fall. Watching football. I can sit in a sportsbook from Saturday morning till the final game on Sunday. Outside of sleep and bathroom breaks I could so do it. This trip I will try to actually do some gambling at the tables. We will see how bad I really am at Black Jack, then I will then go shame myself at the Craps table.

Keith speaking the Truth

I am late on this and this is another show I need to watch. But thank god for You Tube.
It sends chills down my spine on actions of this administration is taking all in the name of keeping us safe. Im sorry but the these actions make us no better than those we fight. If we are for freedom, democracy and rule of law then we must make our actions speak louder than our words. I want my government to do its job in protecting this country, but also protecting the rights we hold so dear. So I am not down with, "oh I will give up some of my freedoms for security." B.S. People say that because it is so easy to surrender someone elses rights before your own.

Also I want to thank "You Should Have Asked Me" for posting this.

P.S. Keith wasn't just yesterday that you were doing sports out in LA on KTLA Channel 5.

Do not ever eat the "meat lasanga" from hospital cafiteria. Unless you wish to stay at the hospital.

It seems that the people are up in arms. The reports say it's due to the governments actions or inactions, but we really know why.

The want more Truthiness for themselves and their bridges!

I think the people of Hungary want Colbert's name on that bridge. They don't care if he does not speak the language or that he is not dead. They know what side their gulash is buttered. They are just wagging the finger at the government to get it done. So they can get a tip of the hat. It's not like they trying to get the Austro-Hungarian Empire back. Even though it would be kind of cool to see them at least tour one more time.

Enough of the Papal bull-shit, Pope Eggs Benedict the XVI.

Man I miss old popey, not that old popey was perfect. He certainly pissed off enough people, but not in the way "Du Pope? du Pope hast? Du Pope hast nicht", has.

This Pope is one big angry pope who is just into his Prada shoes and new hats.

Avast ye bilge rat bloggers!

Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day, you landlubers!

Arrrr, I do love talking like a pirate. So all ye give thanks to Old Chumbucket and Captain Slappy. Arrr they be doing a great service for piratekind, mateys.

Aye it takes me back to my days being a Pirate of the Caribean and sailing on the sailing ship Columbia. Arrr those where the days.

Ahoy mateys, I must get back to the ropes. My boss has delivered me a boradside for send ye olde TPX Report without the right cover sheet to the poopdeck. If I do it a again I be getting a keel hauling.

So yo ho me bloggers, yo ho!

driving through the hospital parking lot, in your maroon station wagon, without a shirt.

Sir, if we were playing in the World Series of Poker for Cool, I am thinking you went "all in". But I don't think you are going to win, with a pair of 5's.

But you keep shining on you crazy diamond, shine on.

Hi,

I want to welcome you to Costa Mesa and congrats on your merger with Comcast and Adelphia.

Now I would like to ask if you can f'ing go f yourselves with the uncomfortable end of a working chainsaw, that is rusty I hope. You gaggle of mucus gargling, crotch goblins. Your new regime has come in and dumped it's used Depends undergarments on me. I see that you using my cable fee to run ads saying I will not know the difference. Also telling me about all the wonderful services you are going to bring. Hey that's great, good for you. Just there is one problem you have raised my rate and taken services away from me. One of the biggest reasons why I have stayed with digital cable is the On-Demand feature. Which has allowed me to save space on the Tivo, so I could watch things like the Wire, the Sopranos and so on. To which I must give you a nice hearty ,"liar, liar, pants on fire". We have not received any notice about our digital cable package. We have not been notified if it was going to be either ended, or grandfathered. Your predecessor Commuinistcast grandfathered our digital package without any problems. As you for you greedy, bile soaked, mule humping, ass clams you have not done a damn thing other than cash my check. Oh you did that with no problem. When we have called, you told us that things were taking time to transfer over. Hmmm I thought we would not know anything was going on. That what the ads I see every 24 seconds tell me. Now this is going on 5 plus weeks and we still do not have seen any change. Can I watch HBO on Demand? That is big freaking NO!! F me, seriously can I at least get dinner from you bastards. Because I know you took money from the bureau, and you made a goddamn mess in the kitchen without saying goodbye. And I know you are not calling me the next day, because I know you do not respect me. I do not want to be forced into getting a dish, even though it would give me a chance to watch more football. Hmmmmmmm, I may need to think about that. Wait I could not torture the better half with that.

Speaking of football don't even get me started on the NFL Network bullshit. I am close to going Taxi Driver over this. That is right, I am not the last angry man, but I have a friend who a friend of his. I do not care if the NFL is up to shenanigans. Just give me my NFL Network right now, and without having to pay even more for it! I have absolutely no faith in you or anything you have to say. I hear you say, "make the NFL play fair. Make them be apart of digital package, so those who don't want it don't get stuck paying for it." Well to that I say go fuck yourselves. You make me pay for a lot of crap I have not even come close to watching, even by mistake. And let me tell you I love me my TV, so that it pretty freaking hard for me to do. But you put on shit that is unwatchable to me and I pay and I pay since I don't have a choice. I just get bass taped by you and I have to smile. Why don't you have a digital platform for all the DYI channels. Do I really need to fund Yasmine Bleeth and Jacqueline Smith's livelihood? Because I do not watch Lifetime. Hell, where is my digital religion platform. What God is not good enough for HD/digital tier? Maybe if you would do something crazy like make the channels a le carte. Oh no, America couldn't handle that, we can't think for ourselves! Most the channels are skinholes and if they had to fend for themselves we could thin the heard and maybe just maybe get better programming. Give people the option of what they want. That would be fair. Oh wait when it comes to not letting you gouge me, you throw a hissy of nuclear proportions.

So in closing I want to express my sincerity in saying, I hope all of you who are keeping me from my On-Demand, and NFL Network all have your anus' probed by aliens, and getting a beating of Randall "Tex" Cobb proportions, by Turbo and Ozone, from Breaking and Breaking Two (Electric Boogaloo), all the while you're being forced to watch Glitter and Gili repeatedly. For all I want is nothing but shame and grief and puss oozing out of every orifice for you and yours from now and till forever you dirt eating, emu licking, tax dodging, veal wearing, descendents of hobos. May all of you get gentile herpes that are large enough to effect the tides.

God bless and have a wonderful day.
