Those funny Iraqis!! Check out this article on ESPN.com, it's pretty hilarious! What's even funnier is that the Iraqi Minister would say something like that. Praise Jim Caple! What a crack up.


Here're some excerpts:

SAEED AL-SAHHAF: I swear to you by all that is holy that the moon will run crimson with the blood of the Boston infidels before this night is over! Already, the indomitable Yankees lead by seven runs, and the corrupt Red Sox are fleeing the stadium! They have forfeited the game and are returning to their homes to lick their wounds like the pathetic curs they are! Run like the wind, you stooges of western imperialism, and take your odor with you! You should never have stepped foot in our kingdom! Your arrogance has sealed your doom and condemned your children and your children's children to lives of slavery!

KAY: Well, we certainly hope that's the way it turns out tonight, Mohammad, but actually, we're still waiting for the managers to exchange lineup cards. ...

...

SAEED AL-SAHHAF: Bernie steps back into the box as all New York holds its breath ... the war criminal Martinez peers in for the sign ... he winds and delivers ... swung on and belted deep to left! It's going ... going ... and it's gone! ORDER THE SERVANTS TO ROAST THE FATTED CALF AND LAY OUT THE SATIN SHEETS, THE VESTAL VIRGINS HAVE ENTERED THE PALACE!!!! The Yankees lead is 12 runs and Martinez has collapsed on the mound! BOO-YAH!!!

KAY: Actually Mohammad, I think that was a called third strike on Giambi. And it leaves the score 14-2 in favor of Boston with the bases empty and the Yankees down to their final out. Mohammad, I guess it's just not the Yankees night.

SAEED AL-SAHHAF: We have the infidels just where we want them! Manager Joe Torre has cleverly led the scarlet-hosed stooges into a noose from which there is no escape! The Red Sox child general manager Epstein has dispatched his players on a suicide mission! We shall humble this New England gang of villains and leave their bones to dry in the desert sun as a warning to our enemies! Praise Steinbrenner!

KAY: Yes, well, I guess that's like Yogi said, It ain't over 'til it's over. Anyway, here's the pitch ... Matsui swings and pops it up ... Garciaparra is under it and ... he squeezes it for the final out. And that's the old ballgame.

SAEED AL-SAHHAF: The Yankees win! Thaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa Yankees win!

OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM: You know I'm a lazy bastard when I didn't even write a journal entry about the war when it started last Wednesday. Oh well. I wrote something about it now. By the way, how 'bout that Michael Moore fella? I've yet to see Bowling for Columbine...which was directed by this fella. He is correct in his speech during the Oscars about having a fictitious president being chosen in a fictitious election. I voted for Gore, damn it! Anyways, down with Hussein!!!

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers got nominated for several Academy Awards today. Like the Fellowship of the Ring, it got nominated for Best Picture. Haha, crappy film. Unlike Attack of the Clones, which has a Best Picture nom for a Razzie. But I already told you that.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones got nominated for several Razzies this week...which, in case you guys don't know, is the equivalent of the Academy Awards--only with CRAPPY movies getting nominated. Comes to show you that Lucas is a little bitch who let his fans down with these new films. And I've been looking forward to the prequels since 1995. I can't wait till Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King comes out this Christmas...to see how this trilogy will surpass the so-called Prequel Trilogy that will be completed in 2005. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still going to watch Episode III. The only difference is, I'm not going to defend it if it sucks the same way I defended Episode II back when dumbass Lucas revealed the title Attack of the Clones. Anakin Skywalker: Just seeing her again is...intoxicating. Yea. Lucas must've been intoxicated when he came up with that line for the film.

WOW, Blogger didn't delete my journal entries from 2000 after all. You rule, Blog people!!! By the way, I went to Best Buy after I came back from school today to buy the Apollo 13 DVD. Love that movie. Of course, I'm still fuming over buying the DVD for Independence Day and not a more respectable film like, say, The Crow or Saving Private Ryan. Or Dumb & Dumber for that matter. Oh well again.

Rest In Peace, the STS-107 crew of Space Shuttle Columbia.

How very fitting that the journal entries that date back to October, 2000 have been erased. A thing of the past...much like that class with "Denise."

ONE YEAR LATER... We Will Never Forget.

REST IN PEACE, CHICK. The Lakers won't be the same without you.

CHICK HEARN (1916 - 2002).

"The game's in the refrigerator. The doors are closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the jello's jiggling.
The Lakers win!"
UPDATE (June 2010): Here's a photo of me posing next to a statue that was placed outside of STAPLES Center in Hearn's honor:

Today I got DSL for my computer. Woohoo!! It sure beats having to dial up on America On-Line all the time!!
