She's a Scrapper, ORiley Likes The Brothers, and How do I get on the Field and Beat Willie Randolph Sensless

See this is what happens when I go away for a few days (well I didn't go anywhere, just didn't post). All h-e-double hockey sticks breaks loose and now I have to catch you up and complain about it.

1) My dog is a scrapper. She's like Rocky Balboa, she gets hit on the nose a lot, busts an eye and then decides to start fighting. So we're jogging the other night and we run into another dog about her size and her owner. I ask the owner if they can meet and we both agree on it. The two dogs are getting along great just sitting next to each other staring at traffic for almost 2 minutes straight. Then they start to "circle" and the next thing you know I need a ring girl to tell me what round it is! The judges ruled it a "split decision" although the only apparent split was the cut on my Pup-a-lup's eye. Took her to the fight doctor today (vet) who ruled her eligible for the rematch which was good to hear.

2) Bill O'Riely evidently likes soul food but is surprised that blacks can run a restaurant in Harlem. Read it here. Of course he decides to share this with his audience, which includes my favorite quote:

I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks, primarily black patronship.

Perhaps he was waiting for the rap music to come on and everybody in the dining room to break into an impromptu Humpty Dance making the place look like a scene from the Black Drew Carey Show.

But perhaps the biggest pisser for me is that he is trying to apologize for his comments. Why? He's a racist and a bigot but so is Rush Limbaugh and he's never apologized because he (like O'Riley and even Imus) never said anything that was illegal. If you don't like their opinions, don't listen to their shows. But no, he had to try apologizing. Now we have to see Fat Al Sharpton and his Insta-Perm on TV (you need a wide screen to fit his head) for the next week and a half decrying how blacks are mistreated my the racist media and how they never get a fair shake.

Maybe if fat Al (not to be confused with Fat Al Gore) would shut HIS trap and not make everything said by obvious jerkoffs like O'Riley into the return to slavery, the black community could voice their own opinion and we could all really learn how they feel and not how their "self proclaimed" representatives feel about the matter.

Ugh!

Oh yeah 3) Willie Randolph, at what point are you planing on getting your team fired up? Does your shoulder still hurt? Is that why you haven't gone out to argue a close call or a ball/strike call...calling the umpire Crash Davis' favorite term for the men in blue and getting tossed, while in the process firing up your ball club? Or are you waiting for them to finish the collapse they started last month and not get into the playoffs. That way you can rehab your shoulder on the golf course. Shhh...don't tell Fat Al....he might protest me saying that I'm a racist because the idiot manager of my favorite ball club is a chump (I said "chump"...stop it!)

By the way I'm taking back the "term" P-Monks-4-Life!!! (just saw Clerks 2)

Fliers Fliers Everywhere!

What good are fliers (with the exception of Chinese Food and Pizza menus)? How many people actually read them? They seem to me like useless litter. Whenever I see a few on my doorstep it reminds me of the good old days of college when people actually got paid to drive down the street, roll down the window, and throw out a pile of these fliers for various clubs or bars and let them come to a rest all over the grass and street.

Experiences like that have left me jaded to fliers (and grass for that matter). It comes to the point that when I see them in my neighborhood or G-d forbid on my doorstep I feel the urge to drive down to the location of the business advertising and paste the ubiquitous pieces of paper all over their door.

You are asking why the hell is he writing about this today? Well, for one, because I can, and for two because someone shared the following e-mail string with me today:

My crews would never deliberately throw things on the floor. They fall off of the doors if the door knobs are not completely tight. Again, we apologize. In reality, you have no idea how difficult it is to obtain clients in this business with the prices of flyers and marketing material. I could easily spend $5k to $6k a month, every month if I didn't do things this way as well. No harm done, we apologize. I hope you accept and that is acceptable. I am a very hard working agent. I work 7 days a week, and I am also a single father of 3 kids.

Thank you.

You'll want to tell your crews then not to LEAVE the materials on the floor - nothing "fell." They were deliberately left there, and it's called littering.

And you have full responsibility for your "crews."

I have crews that put out my marketing materials, I am sorry if anything might have fallen in the floors. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please forgive us.

Mr. Polly,

You undoubtedly know that I returned to my home today to see that you have completely littered its hallways with fliers advertising your realty services.

In exchange, I intend inform any one I know who is in the market for an agent that you have no respect for people's homes and that they should not use your services. I also intend to inform Long and Foster of your actions.

In the future, I hope you will use more respect in your advertising efforts. If you must engage in such solicitations (which I'm certain my building has policies strictly forbidding them - a policy you chose to ignore), at least put forth the effort to place your fliers under people's doors rather than allow our hallways to look like your personal trash can. My neighbors and I deserve that much.

My building management (and those of others) needs to take more serious actions against individuals like you in the future, which I encourage them to do.

First it goes without saying that this realtor is a complete idiot and should consider going back to the post he held before he left for the "booming" DC housing market. You know over at the car wash as that guy that takes off the hose from the vacuum to pull out the nickles and tic-tacs that are clogging up the system.

It's not just that this guy is stupid but he actually tries to illicit sympathy by telling this person that he is a "single father". So if I understand this, the guy who has trouble getting clients, is basically telling an already pissed off "renter" that they should just accept the fliers and maybe use his services as a realtor when they decide to buy. Um....oh boy where to start. I'm going to leave it alone and let you form your own opinions.

I strongly urge you to e-mail this dope and tell him to start handing out menus on the street corner while dressed as a banana. It seems like a logical career move.
