Pistons Rant

-Pistons bib did not bring us any luck last night.
-Chauncey SHOULD NOT have taken that 3 pt. shot late in the game.
-Dyess is the ony one out there who looks like he wants to win.
-C-Webb can't hit a shot.
-Turnovers are costing the Pistons.
-Billups had 2 assists and 4 TO's last night. That won't get it done.
-I am on track for my Pistons in 6 prediction.
-I'm ok if LeBron beats us, I'm not ok if Gibson and Gooden beat us.
-It is now a 3 game series, and we have home court.
-I'm not scared. I'm frustrated.
-Tigers put on a clinic last night in Tampa.
-Whenever Tayshaun takes it to the cup, good things happen. MORE OF THAT FLIP!!
-They always play well in the third, never the fourth.
-I'm going to have to go to my lucky red headband to get this done.
-Everytime LeBron takes a fade away shot, it goes in. EVERY TIME!!
-Linda said that she likes the Pistons, not the Cavs. She especially hates: LeBron, Gooden, Varijoke, Gibson, Hughes, Marshall, Z, Mike Brown and everyone else associated with the Cavs.
-To me, it is the ultimate sign of respect to have "Beat Detroit" shirts. Back in the day, I remember the "Beat L.A." shirts.
-Cavs fans suck. Prolly a bunch of Buckeye fans.
-I would like to have Leyland talk to the boys before Thursdays game. I bet he could get them to play for ALL FOUR QUARTERS!! NOT TWO, OR THREE!! ALL FOUR!!
-Someone needs to stomp a mudhole in Gibson's behind. Lil' punk.
-I'm done ranting. Now yer turn. Tell me what chu' think....


-Bonus pic of ERB in funny hat.
-Yer welcome.

May 8-Special Kalamazoo Edition

-If you did not go to Western Michigan University or never visited me or my cronies there, then this post probably ain't for you, so go look elsewhere. NOW! I said NOW!
-If you went to Central Michigan University, you wasted 4-7 years of your life and probably a whole bunch of money.
-I spent an afternoon in Kalamazoo last week for work, so I took a driving tour and snapped a few pictures with my cell phone. There's something for everyone...even Jackie!
Click on pictures for a better look.

Pictured above is the best house I ever lived in. 1240 Forbes. For 2 years, Brick, Jackie and E called this place home. We were also robbed. I love that house.

Next we take you to Grove St. Holy shit, what a hole. It also came with a hole in the inside/outside room. I am amazed that it is still standing and that currently someone lives there. Wookie's Escort used to be permanently parked out front, used for "claming" and also as an outdoor urinal. E, Wookie, Mulder and Nitsuj lived for a year. God bless America, that place sucked soooooo much. It also smelled very bad.

This is an apartment located in the heart of the student ghetto on the corner of Vine and Locust, where Smalz, Annie and Melissa lived for a year. I hated this place. It was a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. For all three of them! Possibly WORSE than Grove Street. I said possibly...

The top level of this yellow building (421 Hilbert) is where Brick spent the last two years of his college days, binge drinking and crying. It is very close to Forbes St.

This parking lot right behind Martini's Pizza is where Smalz and Melissa lived for a few years. No, they did not live in the parking lot (however, that would be funny). The house that used to be there burnt down a few years ago. I used to do my laundry there. It is located at the corner of Village St. and Westnedge.

Right around the corner from that parking lot is the famed 4th Coast Cafe. It is a coffee house that was frequented by many of mi amigos (ESP) back in the day. They have some fantastic cinnamon scones.

Last, and least of all is Godfathers Pizza (Gafa's). This is where Jackie used to work as a delivery jerk. She used to bring home pizzas. I once saw E eat an entire XL thin crust pizza in one sitting. We were egging him on "get mad at it!!" And he did get mad at it, yes he did, very mad. Their pizza made me sick more than one time.

Well, that's all from our trip down memory lane. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. If you have a story about any of these locations, please share them with the group in the comment section.

May 7-Camille's Champs Dominate Chicago MS Walk

You may remember me mentioning the MS Walk, well the day finally came on Sunday. Our team was 4th(?) in the city of Chicago with just under $13,000 raised. Holy Guacamole!!! All of the dough was raised for a great cause and a great time was had by all. Here are the highlights:
-It was a bit cool down on the lakeshore for the walk.
-We met some really nice people, including Tracy and Nate (pictured below).
-We went to a Jewish deli afterword named 11 (how trendy). Had a ro-beef sammish.
-GB makes her friends look at this blog to see how cute ERB is. Get yer own baby/blog Gina!
-ERB wore sunglasses and some old lady wanted to take her picture. I should have charged her.
-The Notters came to Phiul & Gina on Saturday to watch the Derby. GB won $45.
-We also watched the Pistons DISMANTLE the lowly Bulls.

-SHOUT OUT to PBGB for hosting us at their house and feeding us over $150 worth of steak. It had string on it.
