Arkansas Razorbacks Fans are Stupid and Rude

Holaaaaaaaaaa! So, a week or so ago the Arkansas Razorbacks went to Ames, Iowa to play Iowa State in men’s basketball. The Hogs started off the game playing like shit, improved to just mediocre for a while and ended like quitters. The next day I thought I’d see if anyone in an Arkansas sports group I belong to on Facebook wanted to discuss what went wrong.

I got banned from the group before I could save the comment thread, but what follows is VERY close to accurate, especially the name calling and insults directed at me. I tend to remember those.  My comments in bold, responses in italics.

J: “Seems like every time the Hogs have a chance to make a big splash they drown. Gotta start at least being competitive in these games. We only get a handful of chances.”

Stephen comments: “You’re a moron! GTFOH Man!”

J: “What do you think went wrong last night?”

Stephen:  “ISU just had a good night. That’s all.”

J: “Well they did play really great. We seem to make a lot of people look really great though.”

Stephen: “So you’re giving up after only one loss? Some fan you are.”

Now Vicky joins the thread: “If you’re gonna be this bitchy and attack the players like this after only one unfortunate performance you better not show up pretending to be a fan when we win the next big game we play!”

J: “Whoa! I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration of what I said Vicky.”

Vicky responds with “Excuse me???? Whatever!”

Now James shows up with “Guys, just ignore him. He’s a sad, fat fag who is always angry and hates the UofA”

Vicky responds “Well, being gay is his choice if he is, but he most definitely hates the Hogs and is a very angry man.”

J: “Wow this is a really rough crowd here. Love all the name calling and personal attacks though. That’s always a nice touch.”

Stephen returns with “Hey! You’re the one who started the attacks with the cheap shot at the team. I don’t know if what James said is right, but I do suspect you’re probably just a racist who wouldn’t be happy unless we had an all-white team and coaching staff and played Princeton style offense.”

Then quick like bunny Darryl showed up with this gem: “Seriously Jason. Just get the fuck out of here and leave this group to the real fans that actually support the team you POS.”

Then Vicky comes back for more: “I bet you’re the kind of guy who always picks Arkansas to lose when we play a big game.”

J: “Well, Vicky I try to be realistic about these things and when it’s clear that the other team is better than us then yes, I pick them to beat us. Don’t you?”

Vicky fires back “HELL NO! I always pick Arkansas to win! If we were 0-30 and were playing a 30-0 Kentucky team in Lexington I would still pick Arkansas to win! That’s what a REAL HOG FAN does!”

Now Walter shows up with “I think Jason needs a timeout from this group considering his personal attacks on female members. That’s pretty uncalled or dude. You’re a real asshole.”

Vicky finishes her part with “Fuck that fag!”

It was at this point that I clicked on the link to the group to find that he had been kicked out.  Gosh that was fun. My fellow Arkansas fans are swell. What REALLY sucks is that Arkansas followed up that loss by losing to a shitty Clemson team that couldn't even beat a super-shitty Rutgers team AT HOME! Man, I came *THIS CLOSE* to creating a new fake Facebook page and joining that group again just to say "TOLDJA!!!"

Instant Karma Is Gonna Get You!!

Cheeeeeeeers Chuckleheads!!

It’s good to see you all on this most inspiring first Tuesday in September.

Jayman and I put on one helluva IWS Radio show this past Sunday, and if you missed it LIVE, you can catch all the hilarity right HERE.  And trust me, we had a topless babe on the air, and it was HOT!!

Anyhoo…

Many people in my life, and no I am not kidding Jayman and others, think I am far too nice to people.  One of whom who thinks this, is my boss, and owner of the Beer Mine at which I work, Drive-By Mikey.

Don’t get me wrong, while we do sell a ton o’ beer everyday, 95% of the folks who come through are pleasant and behaved, but…

The other 5% can be rude, self-absorbed, whiny, stupid assholes.

I nearly always rise above the instances of a jerk coming through, and Mike has often told me, “Man, you are too nice sometimes; I would have told that jerk to go to hell.”

I have always and to this day do respond…

“Eh, it wasn’t time to jump on him (or her), but no worries, I keep notes of people on a Rolodex in my head.”

After I say that, Mike usually responds, “Whatever.”  Because that is something that I have always told Mike about me that he doesn't understand...that being…

Patience is not only a virtue…it’s a well-conceived time bomb.

See?  Two weeks ago, this dude in a pick em up truck came through and asked for a 12 pack of Miller Lite and a bag of ice.

I gave said thirsty man his order.  He drove outside of the Beer Mine, out the contents in his cooler, and thennnn…He came into the office with empty box and plastic bag, and said, “Here, trash.”

I thought to myself…”Oh no you didn't just do that?”  But I bit my tongue and took it.

Last week, he came through and ordered the same thing, and wouldn't you know..?  He brought me his trash again and never uttered a word!!  No at word of “thanks”.  Not a word of, “Is this okay?”  Not a word of,  “Do you mind?”

To which I said to myself…

“Y’know Lord…I try to be a good person.  I try to live by your word. In fact, other than my occasional drunkenness which I confine to my home (and on my Facebook page), I try to be a non-judgmental, get along, go along kinda guy…but if this rude motherfucker ever comes through here again, I am going to pass judgment.”

Well my friends, yesterday Rude Man came through, and it was Judgment Day!!

He ordered a 12 pack of Miller Lite, and a small bag of ice.

The order came to $12.10.

The man only had $12.00, so he asked me…

“Can you front me a dime?”

Oh Dear God!!  The responses that ran through my mind!!  Five hours of responses that actually lit up every synapse in my brain in a mere two seconds.

I said to rude Mr. Trash Man…

“Aren't you the guy who gives me your trash every week?  That’s pretty rude.”

He responded, “I could have just thrown it in your lot.”

“Or you could have thrown your trash into the bed of your truck like most people do.”, I said.

And as Mikey came out to see what was going on, he heard…

“So you won’t give me dime?”

And I said, “Nope, because you are rude.”

And the dude said, “I guess I’ll take my business elsewhere.” and then he drove off.

After that, Mike and I did the fist hit and Mike said…

“After ten years in this business, I have come to realize that if we could just kick the assholes out and break even, it would be better than making a lot of money dealing with them, and I see now why you have that stupid Rolodeck or whatever that you talk about.”

Cheers!!

Dzhokar Tsarnaev and Rolling Stone...Sympathy For The Devil

Cheers Chuckleheads and Happy Friday to you all!

It seems that there is a firestorm brewing over a cup of stewing, and steeping American tea.

Rolling Stone magazine will soon be coming out with their August 1 issue which has Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's picture on it.

While I am a rabble rouser at heart, I must say….

It’s okayyyyyyyyyy.

It’s okay that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s picture is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, because unlike what right wing radio, and FOX News are telling you, it’s not a story about what a good guy that turned out not to be the well-developed American that he portrayed to be.

It’s a story about how he was a good guy, who received gladly, I might add, all of the blessings and frivolity that is America, and somehow, after his immigration from the Land of the Lost that is Russia and/or Whateverstan, enjoyed for years the freedom of America, and then, for whatever reason said through word and action…

“Innocent Americans Must Die.”

Why you gotta do that Dzhokhar?  I mean, c’mon?  You had it all you dumb fuck.

Look at yourself….Good looking kid.  Captain of the HS wrestling team.  I bet you had your choice of chicks…if you never had to bring them ‘round your brother’s house…

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had it all, and he gave it up in order to kill innocent children and policemen and forever disrupt the lives of people whom he has never met, all the while…

Being one of the good kids down the street, as people who have never read Rolling Stone’s depiction of him illustrates.

Well folks, the Rolling Stone depiction of Tsarnaev in the article, if you take the time to read it, is less than glamorous.  It depicts him as he is, a terrorist.

The article talks about things like the face of terrorism dwells next door to us, in an American kid like us… within us.

It isn’t an article of glamorization of Tsarnaev, it is a warning that killers, terrorists, and those who do harm, come in all sizes, colors, shapes, and backgrounds.

And sometimes…they look, act, and pretend to feel just like “us.”

I hear a lot of complaints that “our” government won’t get off its collective ass…but do you ever see the ones posting such krill ever do that with informative ideas?  Or alternatives?

No, because they are scared...

And that is how it is with the Rolling Stone/ Dzhokhar Tsarnaev “incident.”

Many people are “outraged”, and while not knowing why, they say things like, “Boston Forever!!”

Y’know..?

Shut the Fuck Up.  Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lived in Beantown.  He was a Bostonian, and by all accounts, one helluva good guy.

And for what it’s worth,…Dzhokar Tsarnaev got sucked in by his loser brother, was sold a bill of Anti-American goods because his loser boxer brother couldn’t make it, and then?

Dzhokar said to himself…

“Just like the Doctor Hook song says…On the cover of the Rolling Stone…”

The thing is…Rolling Stone, unknown to the less than informed, is a great source of true journalism.  They write, print, and publish the facts, and have been for years.

They continue to do so in the Tsarnaev matter, and if you don’t like him being on their latest cover?

Fuck you…it’s journalism at its best.

Cheers!!
