Off Topic: I Can Pump My Own Damn Gas Thank You


I hate full service gas stations, I hate them with passion equal to the hatred of the Papel-boner. Everytime you pull into a gas station in New Jersey you think to yourself, damn this is sweet. It's 2.30$ a gallon in Jersey and 2.75$ a gallon in Southern CT. But then you pull up the pump and wait. And then you wait some more. And then the gas clerk asks you to drive your car up to the next pump as he finishes pumping someone else's gas. Then he finally meanders his way to your car and asks you in some language that certainly isn't english how much you want and what kind you want. When you say "fill it with regular", he says "Regulah?" because not only does he not speak english but he can't understand you either. Than he puts the gas pump into your tank, locks it up, and walks away.

[Gas Fills... and Done]

And now you sit in your car saying to yourself my gas is done pumping, can you just pull the damn pump out of the tank, make me sign a receipt and let me get back on your miserable highway. But instead of instant help, you watch him talking to his gas station co-workers who also are lazy as fuck. Eventually after like 3 minutes he comes back to your car says something again non-English that means "Do you want a receipt?" After a few uncomfortable exchanges you finally get to leave, 10 minutes later and now pissed off. And you're still on the Jersey Turnpike.

I CAN PUMP MY OWN FUCKING GAS... I hate you Jersey.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
