THIS JUST IN, THE CHIEFS SUCK

This may come as a surprise to most of you but the Chiefs suck. They are not average (like they usually are), they didn't just drop off a little bit, they are absolutely terrible. Throughout the preseason the blind lemmings continuously called in to sports radio with predictions of 10-6 and a chance of making a run at the playoffs. I kept asking myself what these fans saw that I didn't. Why were so many thinking such great things when the writing is on the wall.

The Chiefs of 07 are made up of has beens and never beens. The youth movement that we heard so much hype about all preseason was simply a diversion created to take your mind off the fact that the Chiefs would be competing with the Royals in winning percentage.

IF EVER THERE WAS A TIME FOR "PRISON JUSTICE"

By JUDY THOMAS The Kansas City StarThe Kansas City Star Authorities believe they have found the remains of two Independence children missing since June 2004, the mother of Sam and Lindsey Porter said this afternoon.Tina Porter told The Kansas City Star that Independence police officers arrived at her house Sunday morning to give her the devastating news that they found remains in the woods along Cement City Road in Sugar Creek.She said the news was numbing.“It was like watching a movie,” she said. “I saw the police cars drive up, and my first thought was that they were coming to tell me they’d found Sam and Lindsey alive. I feel so sick. It just doesn’t seem real.”Tina Porter said police told her they had received a recent tip as to where the children could be found.

News of this needs to get to this guys cell block. I literally feel sick to my stomach after hearing this news. How the hell does a father kill his own kids. LITTLE KIDS!!!!

A FEW PHOTOS FROM TODAYS EVENTS

435 loop Day Trip

Today we set out to the Blue Springs BBQ Contest/Bike Show. It was hard to choose between that and the Harley Open House but I couldn't resist BBQ. Having been to Blue Springs only once I printed out a map and directions and handed it to my copilot (Kerry). Things were going smooth until we hit what I later learned was Scrapbookers row. Instead of telling me to turn on little blue parkway she was too busy pointing out a bankrupt scrapbooking store. We continued down 40 highway until she realized that we might of gone to far. After making a U Turn at Adams Dairy Parkway (nowhere near our turn) we were finally back on track. That is until she later tells me that she skipped a step in the directions and we had to backtrack once again. My wife was dead set on getting us lost. The way she read these directions can only be compared to the way she follows a Lasagna recipe.

The BBQ contest was pretty good with a lot of samples but the bike show had a lot to be desired. Other than the customs that were there the others were nowhere near show quality. A few of them I even recognized from Craigslist. So after eating some jacked up Funnel Cakes (how do you do that?) we decided to head home.

Once we got in the car we decided to head to the HD factory due to the lack of motorcycles seen at the BBQ contest. We headed North on 435 towards the airport which ended up being the long way. We arrived just as they were wrapping up for the day but there were still some exhibits open and a couple hundred motorcycles to look at so it was worth it, at least to me.

The next decision to be made was if we were going to Old Settlers days in Olathe or yet another Bike event in Platte City (10 minutes from the factory). Becca wanted to ride some rides so we headed South on 435. The copilot once again brought her A game and asked why I was taking the long way and I took her word for it and exited hoping to cut across to what she thought was the "right way". So Highway D ended up taking us to Highway N (both paved) and then back to 435 south. Along the way though we saw orchards and vineyards so it wasn't a complete waste of gas, however my Copilot lost all credibility at this point. The rout I had originally taken was in fact the quicker way home.

After a brief pit stop we headed to Old Settlers days in Olathe. This was the most miserable experience I have had in a long time. We walked up and down rows of Crap booths filled with trinkets the Indians wouldn't of accepted in exchange for Manhattan. Along the way Becca decided to take it upon herself to remind us that she wanted to ride rides, every 2 minutes.

After eating Corndogs and Tacos we headed over to Carniland to ride the rides. Usually when you go to these types of events it is easy to tell the difference between the carnis and the patrons, not today. Never before had I seen more inbreed hill folk in my life. The only thing dirtier than the people in this part of Old Settlers was the garbage on the street. After letting the kids ride some rides we unloaded the rest of our ride tickets on another family and left.

In the course of the day Becca and Bridget were silent for 2o minutes total. It was like having your own play by play crew with you analyzing every move, every word and every action taken. I could swear that Becca drank one of my energy drinks this morning. All in all though it was a good day. I better stop now before I type something that would get me in trouble.

WTF is this?

They make it too easy sometimes

Democrats hire new PR consultant?

Congressional Democrats are trying to undermine U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus' credibility before he delivers a report on the Iraq war next week, saying the general is a mouthpiece for President Bush and his findings can't be trusted.

"The Bush report?" Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin said when asked about the upcoming report from Gen. Petraeus, U.S. commander in Iraq.



Nobody saw this coming right?

Democrat To Do List
1. Vote for the war
2. Protest war
3. Declare that a Surge will not work
4. Give the president until the Petraeus report comes out
5. Back peddle once they cant refute the evidence that the surge is working.
6. Call the Petraeus report bias.
7. Apply this strategy to all policies.

I wonder why they want us to lose this war so badly? I am sure that the election has nothing to do with it.

Kennedy's years of Drunken Karaoke pay off.

Wednesday Night Ted Kennedy awoke from his drunken slumber just in time to sing "We are the World" at the annual "Grammys on the hill event" with musicians. This is reportedly the first time anyone has ever heard him sing anything other than 99 beers on the wall.

Audience reviews of Kennedy’s performance ranged from “Oh my God” to “Oh my goodness."

What is he thinking?????? - BILL MAAS

Former Chief detained by airport police Former Chiefs defensive tackle Bill Maas was detained by police at Kansas City International Airport on Wednesday for allegedly having a loaded handgun in his carry-on bag, authorities said.Maas was making his way through a screening checkpoint in Terminal C when he was detained about 11 a.m., airport spokesman Joe McBride said.Authorities confiscated the gun and took Maas to the airport police station for questioning.McBride said Maas was released around noon but that he wasn’t sure where he was traveling or whether he made his plane.Maas told police officers his forbidden carry-on was unintentional, McBride said. He said he grabbed the wrong bag when he was departing for the flight.The incident is still under investigation, McBride said.Maas, who lives in Lee’s Summit, had another weapon-related incident in July.Illinois State Police who stopped his Hummer during a roadside safety check found a .22-caliber revolver along with suspected marijuana, cocaine and Ecstasy pills.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been around Bill Maas several times over the past 5 years but have not seen much of him since he was kicked off of 610 sports. He is a nice guy and always willing to help out if he can. Having said that this guy needs help. This is the 3rd major incident in the past 18 months and if someone doesn't step in he is going to end up hurting someone or himself.

Hey Jackass Lottery Player

Take your power ball tickets to a place that allows you to check your own tickets. What makes you think that it is a good idea to take your 100 tickets into a Shell Station and have them checked by the ONE (non English speaking) person working a cash register in the joint during the busiest time of day? You don't have to be a genius to figure out that it isn't , just look at the freaking line of pissed off people behind you.

The fact that you break out algebra equations to convert power ball winnings into scratcher tickets with someone that has pictures of money on their register due to their inability to make proper change, it is never a smooth process, pisses me off.

The fact that in your mind everyone knows exactly what the Kansas Triple play daily deuce $3 scratcher ticket looks like, but believe it or not some people actually don't, pisses me off.

The fact that you have the scratcher ticket layout behind the counter committed to memory and the schlep that spends 8 hours a day working there doesn't, pisses me off.

The fact that you spend more time transferring power ball winnings into scratcher tickets than I do transferring money from checking to savings, pisses me off.

The fact that you THEN start manually picking more power ball tickets at the register with out MOVING so that the 16 or so people in line can finally pay, pisses me off.

The fact that I had to tell you to pack up your crap and finish doing that outside so that we could get through the line and pay, well that made me feel good.

All I ask is that you don't forget about me if you do win.

Golf Guy

Now that summer is almost over I can finally rid myself of "golf guy". Golf guy is softball guys wealthier ugly cousin and is even more annoying. Monday mornings in the office are often spent hearing tales of the great round that they played at "The Club" along with how many beers they drank along the way. One thing you must remember though after hearing these tales is that if you ever play with golf guy it will always be the worst round he ever played and the course will be in terrible condition. How else can he explain shooting a score 20 points higher with you than he does the other 52 weeks a year.

1. The in office practice swing. This is similar to the air guitar except
2. "I'd rather be golfing" There has not been a day in the past 9 years that I have not heard that stupid ass phrase.

ALL IN ONE WEEKEND!

Hank HIll was wrong

Barbecue explosion rocks Leavenworth home
A propane tank for a barbecue erupted in Leavenworth Monday night.The blast interrupted a Labor Day cookout in the 900 block of Village Lane shortly before 7 p.m. The blast seriously damaged a house, though the extent of damage was not available.No one was seriously injured in the explosion. The cause was still under investigation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

So much for Lady propane being the safer/cleaner BBQ fuel. If Hank was wrong about that I wonder what else he has been wrong about. This changes everything.

Smoked Pig

The picture to the left is that of babe the pig. While babe the pig may be a lovable character that lived happily ever after on a farm with a mentally ill man, his brother didn't meet the same fate. On Sunday I ran to Price Chopper and picked up 2 10lbs. pork shoulders for a BBQ today. There is nothing better than Babes brother slowly cooked for 6 hours with a nice mixture of Hickory and Apple wood, rub and a little mustard.

Becca was a trooper and was with me from the lighting of the fire to the shredding of the pork. When she asked me what I was cooking I told her that it was pig and she didn't say a word about it. That all changed once I pulled them both out of the smoker ( 8 hours later)and started shredding them. We sat at the kitchen table with the two pork shoulders in one tray and the shredded meat going into the other (Kerry was scrap booking downstairs and Bridget was a sleep). Out of nowhere Becca asked me where the pigs face was and then its feet etc.... Priceless.

By the way Babes brother turned out great as did the chicken that shall remain nameless.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Things have certainly changed on Saturday mornings from when I was a kid. Growing up nothing could beat Saturday morning cartoons a bowl of cereal and a 19 inch TV. I think about this every time my daughter asks me to turn cartoons on and it is a weekday night or to put a DVD in with her favorite Disney movie. It also amuses me that she thinks our 32 inch TV is the small TV and begs to watch her shows on the "Movie Theater" TV. Anyways it just seems that Saturday Mornings cartoons have lost there luster but I can't help but remember these classics.

TOP TEN CARTOONS WHEN I WAS A KID
1. GI JOE
2. Transformers
3. Super Friends
4. Bug Bunny/Road Runner Show
5. Richie Rich
6. Fat Albert
7. Tom & Jerry
8. Pink Pather - Shark & Catfish
9. Laugh Olympics
10. Woody Woodpecker
