Happy Easter Everyone!

Bye Bye Steelers

My Most Unhealthy Day of the Year

For the last 15 years or so, I have been going to the Boston Marathon every year.

Well, almost every year, I didn't go last year because I had gone to Vegas the weekend before and spent well above the predetermined entertainment budget at a friend's bachelor weekend, resulting in the finance minister of my home shutting me down for my annual Patriot's Day festivities.

For those of you who are not a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Boston Marathon takes place every year on Patriot's Day; it is one of those fake holidays in Massachusetts like St. Patrick's, I mean Evacuation Day, where only government workers gets the day off.

After going for a few years, I saw a pattern developing (beside the obvious The Serpent and the Rainbow zombie looking dudes winning it every year). I noticed there are always a large number of runner posers attending this event.

Who are these posers? They are the people who don't exorcise, but insist on dressing up as a "runner" just for the day; the running outfits, sneakers, water bottles, the power bars. Sure, they maybe inspired to go "jogging" and clutter up my morning commute for a few days after the event, but they'll usually go back to sitting on the couch until January - where they'll spend two weeks or so tying up the machines at my gym while they "rest".


So in order to show these people what's up, I have dedicated Patriot's Day as my most unhealthy day of the year. What does most unhealthy day mean to me? It means I am going to eat everything that is not good for me that I normally avoid during the year. It means such delicious treats such as the street vendor Italian Sausage, the fried dough, and the new contender this year - the McGangbang.


.. and I am going to wash it all down with ungodly amounts of alcohol (well, I will concede that this part is not exactly a detour on how I normally live my life).

In the previous years, my tour of unhealthy living has resulted in a shouting match between me and a woman for urinating publicly at a T station (hey, you got to go you got to go), another shouting match between me and some Uta Pippig fans for laughing at her "running finish", and a wrestling match between me and someone handing out coupons in the crowd while dressed up as a cartoon character of some sort; surprisingly, my memory is a bit fuzzy in regards to that encounter.


This year, when I make my triumphant return to the 113th Boston Marathon, I will have my camera to document the festivities.

Dallas Cowboys Update

Marty B's new blog on DMN.


"The alien was about 4 foot 16 LOL add it up, with a Marcus Spears stomach and Jason Witten arms. That's weird looking and it had a Peyton Manning head with Reggie McNeal legs. So picture that.

..So now I have a alien maid and BFF, it's a great wingman I just ask the girls if they ever been to Jupiter and we take em. It does make weird sounds when we watch E.T or see ED on ESPN"

Yo Marty B, they test for that shit in the NFL, put down that bong dude. Still, funny line on Ed Werder.

MLB Season Opens Tomorrow

After three exciting weeks of the World Baseball Classic, ending with a 10 inning thrilling finals between Japan and Korea, I had doubts that I will be excited to sit through months of the snooze-fest known as the Major League Baseball regular season.

With my return to fantasy baseball, the opening of the new Yankees Stadium, and a video (found by FanIQ) of a woman blowing up a Dodgers beach ball while wearing a bikini; has brought me back.

Sweep the Leg Johnny

The legendary 80's movie high school bully, William "don't call me Billy" Zabka, was at 80's night at McFadden's Boston tonight.

That's right. Johnny from Karate Kid (1984), Greg Tolan from Just one of the Guys (1985), and Chas from Back to School (1986) was in my city tonight, and I failed to go.

The man came out of no where and defined the role of the high school bully in the 1980's with his first three movies, ruled virtually every "best bullies in movies" lists know to man, was hosting an 80's theme night at a bar; and I failed to go.

How much do I suck? I think Homer Simpson summed it up the best:

"That kind of reminds me of the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, 'I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later...' And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know."

I'll just leave you with Zabka's latest work, the 2007 No More Kings video "Sweep the Leg", written and directed by Zabka, featuring all the Cobra Kai members and Ralph Macchio.



Update: From my friend Michelle who was there -

"he didn't show up until 11, got on the mic for about 5 minutes, and that was it (he hung around after, but didn't do anything). He does look the same though, just older. ;)"


Michelle, Greg Tolan is not your dancing monkey!!
