I never knew how common the blumpkin was until this month, have we really become that bored as a nation that you have to sneak into an a McDonalds to give your loving soulmate a blumpkin before meeting up with friends and family. Imagine having oral sex and someone dressed in an Uncle O'Grimacey costume popped in holding Shamrock Shakes and dropped it in slow motion at the sight of it all, if you have to look up Uncle O'Grimacey I'll wait, it will make the visual better trust me. While we wait for those people, whats with all the ugly clitoral hoods ladies, it's like floppy canoe paddles, are all of you deformed these days or something, it's gross, I'm keeping the lights shut off next time I have sex, I ain't looking at those hoods. <br /> Well another year has come and gone, not too much controversy. Everyone is playing the politician roll, putting on a good face. I suppose I can be nice as well, so before I go I will give GM Giorgi Kacheishvili some advise I think he might find useful. First what you do is separate a section of your horse's mane to be pulled, about three or four inches. Take the remaining mane, if you think it will be in the way, and secure it with either a clip or large rubber band, put the other mane aside. Take the section of mane that you are pulling in one hand, holding the longest hairs in the section. With the comb, comb the hair in the opposite direction of growth, upwards, towards the neck, so that most of it bunches up. Take the unbunched part and wrap it around the comb, giving it a good, firm pull where you want to shorten it so that the hair is pulled out at the roots. Brush the entire section again, and repeat until all of the hair in that section is the desired length. Repeat with the rest of the mane, making sure to brush it out every so often to verify that it is even in length. Remember to praise your horse for being so patient!Julius Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538392526193275047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681850489432318981.post-77945972544587937162011-11-15T19:49:48.380-08:002011-11-15T19:49:48.380-08:00I really liked the last Blitz lineup, I think if y...I really liked the last Blitz lineup, I think if you played that lineup against NY ten times Boston would come out with 7 wins. Just unfortunate, Vadim Martirosov was always, Jorge Sammour-Hasbun really ran wild, Marc Esserman is always a favorite, and Ilya Krasik is still my favorite player. I don't think New York has the best team to go up against the stacked Chicago Blaze, so just like my earlier blog predictions, I think Chicago Blaze will win easily, but will they really, after it's all said and done they are still named the Blaze. If the Applesauce were in the finals I might let them off the hook, but lets face it, Blaze sounds like some sort of aerobics program, it also sounds like an old Gladiator, you know why, because there was a Blaze in the American Gladiators, and she wasn't even good. Why not just disgrace your city all together and name yourselves the Chicago Zap. Does anyone remember the Aprils Fools edition of American Gladiators when after the Swingshot they had to run through one of three doors with a Gladiator behind one, I think it was called the BreakThrough & Conquer? Anyhow, on that edition, they had the competitors family members hog tied behind each door, so when they broke through they saw like their nine year old kid crying asking if their love was worth less then five thousand dollars in cash prizes, or their wife struggling through knots with waffle iron burns on her face, anyone remember that, I hope not because I just made that up. <br /> I apologize for my long absence but I've been working down at the docks day and night, with the bad economy the bosses are not afraid to fire any of us for even missing a day so all the employees feel obliged to come to work even while ill, and transmit communicable diseases to co-workers; It will lead to even greater absenteeism and reduced productivity among other workers who try to work while ill, but they don't care. It's sad to see so many tough and burly longshoreman now suffering with the Collywobbles.Julius Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538392526193275047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681850489432318981.post-38215398578543079712011-11-15T14:07:50.955-08:002011-11-15T14:07:50.955-08:00an esserman afternoon. sounds like something i cou...an esserman afternoon. sounds like something i could really go forAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681850489432318981.post-37925954311908822462011-11-15T12:22:50.104-08:002011-11-15T12:22:50.104-08:00WOW, NY is so screwed, no kiddies to man board 4, ...WOW, NY is so screwed, no kiddies to man board 4, Krush on 1 not a good sign for NY.

A few co..."Curiouser and curiouser...": <br /><br />A few comments re Sunday's Championship contenders: Chicagosevan's Blaze??? Though characterized by league officials as "President of Operations" for the Chicago Blaze in yesterday's USCL mention of his radio interview, Mr. Muradian presents himself as Team Owner and has assembled one helluva machine in his almost-as-good-as-a-USCF-Executive-Board-seat run at the title (http://www.chicagoblazechess.com/about-us/leadership). Is there something I'm missing or are USCL franchises truly for sale? And speaking of egos, New York Knight's manager Irina Krush has quite the challenge facing her in devising Sunday's Championship lineup. Two of her three Board 4 regulars (Bodek and Williams) are slated to be in Brazil for the World Youth Chess Championships, with the third (Gershenov) to be in Texas for the K-12 Nationals. Unless a remote connection is in the works, that leaves Ms. Krush to "man" Board 1, with Fedorowicz, Herman, and Pressman on Boards 2-4. Chicago's ability to field their GGGg lineup will be similarly challenged with littlest-g Schmakel also listed among the Texas pre-registrants. An OTB-challenge in the Lone Star State, perhaps? <br /><br />With respect to Ms. Biderman's question, I'll take New York over Chicago any day (if only to disown the o(w)nerous ones), but'd much prefer an Esserman afternoon...chess cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571910810663819218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681850489432318981.post-5997849777413267062011-11-14T22:23:38.983-08:002011-11-14T22:23:38.983-08:00It really is unfortunate that a few players can br...It really is unfortunate that a few players can brand a team to an unlikable status.
