WORD ON THE STREET PRESENTS "QUIET ON THE SET": The moment you have all been waiting for is finally here. The official return of new episodes of Word On The Street. What once started off as a one-liner joke made out of boredom turned into a cult phenomenon and now it is back. This week's episode is a comic that looks into the world of the porn industry in all it's perverted glory. Brought to you in ways only my twisted mind could. For anyone ignorant, if you don't like porno comics with stick people, don't bother. For the rest of you who live for Word On The Street CLICK HERE.
BUSINESS UPDATE: The most recent business moves my partner and I have made were very minimal. We are pondering a name for our website that will catch everyone's attention but is simple enough to spell at the same time. Also, I have been forced to believe that you can't in any way protect a business idea with a patent, trademark or copyright. I don't buy it so I am gonna call the Candian Intellectual Property Office myself. Finally, we have come to an agreement on the general look of our website. That's all for now.
SALMON AWARD: This week's winner of the salmon award is Dusty Nava.
Dusty has been promoted to the prestigious level of "Shaolin Salmon Commando
Infantry Operator of Operations of North Texas". Congratulations on your promotion, Dusty.
BASKETBALL JONES: Lots of good basketball to be played this week. Monday,
Jeff and I took it to our good old ghetto playground to duke it out in another
classic battle. This time, I emerged victorious. What makes our games so good
now is that we know each other's moves as if they were our own. The game was
close with me losing at the start, but then I transformed from lame Bobby to..."Le
Boeuf" (french for "the bull"...I just think it sounds real badass) and
after that, it was all Bobby.
Tuesday, there was a huge game at the ghetto playground so that kicked ass.
For the first time in forever, there was like 8 people there. We played first
one to 50 and my team won 50-21. It was never in doubt. I had another legendary
game pouring in 28 points. I pulled off a highlight reel move by putting the
ball around the defender's waist and back through his legs before taking it
in for a layup. My teammates loved it, the other team loved it and the fool
who I schooled was shamed for life.
The weekend brought some highlights and lowlights(?). Sunday was a beautiful day. It was sunny and clear, and it was pretty warm too. However, the games went bad. Graham avenged his past losses to me by winning both games we played 11-8 and 11-9. Graham also beat Jeff too, although Jeff pulled some nice tricks out of his sleeve. The highlight of the day's games was Graham posting up and stepping on Jeff's shoe and making him fall, then dropping a short layup. That was straight up ruthless. Regardless of outcomes, it was a good day of balling.
FUN AT THE LIBRARY?!!: Tuesday was just another night at the library for me. My hair was the subject of ridicule, my business was mocked by the older people, and one of the librarians continued to roll her path of terror against me for no apparent reason. Just as I was getting ready to snap, my good buddy Filip came. He was looking for Lord of the Flies book on tape because he had a test on it in two days and he was still on page 1. Unfortunately, our bunk library didn't have it. Nevertheless, he gave me a bag of candy berries which made my day. I spent the rest of the day doing nothing like I did for the three hours before, only now I was eating candy and doing nothing.
On a sidenote, the day before, I found a sub club card with all the stamps on it. Score one free sub for FunBo. Yeah!!!
KNOCKOUT KINGS 2001: Ok, this is quite possibly the best thing that I ever put in my playstation. Considering how much anger I bottle up at work, I think I desperately needed a good boxing game to outlet this bad energy. Not only does this game kick ass but you can create yourself as a boxer. I went to pick my nickname and what do they have...oh yeah, baby...LE BOEUF!!! It's all about the beef.
Possibly worth knowing, my created boxer is 5-2 with 5 KOs. I lost twice to
a guy named Old Bones. Also, there is a ref whose name is something like Dirty
Sanchez. Imagine if your name was Dirty Sanchez. That would make high school
a living hell.
GRIZZ GAME: I went to the Vancouver Grizzlies game on wednesday night
against the Utah Jazz and it was the same old song. The Grizz were close the
whole time until a few minutes left where they had a brain cramp and ended up
losing 92-82. However, all was not lost. Some drunk guy was doing what I could
only guess was the running man when the Jazz shot free throws late in the game.
He thought it would hoax the other team and he got really upset when it didn't
work. Also some guy took off his shirt to get the attention of the crowd. To
be honest, it was not a pretty sight. I think most would've rather seen his
lovely female friend take her shirt off. The worst part of the night was when
I took skytrain home with my friend and we got off at Commercial and Broadway
to head up to his place. Anyone who knows Vancouver well knows that that the
scene around that intersection is like the saddest thing this side of Quebec.
All in all though, it was a good night.
NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND: This is my favorite weekend of the year when it
comes to sports. This year, the all-star weekend was in the chocolate city,
Washington DC. The Rookies vs. Sophomores game was awesome. Baron Davis, Steve
Francis and Wally Szczerbiak just lit up for the Sophomores who won 121-113.
The Rooks played pretty good too. Darius Miles, Khalid El-Amin, Mateen Cleaves
and Morris Peterson all had pretty good games. Szczerbiak was MVP.
Peja Stojakovic of the Kings and Ruthie Bolton-Holifield of the Monarchs wont
the 2ball competition 62-57 over Trajan Langdon and Eva Nemcova.
My prediction for the 3-Point competition was my only right answer I had with
Ray Allen winning it. He beat Peja Stojakovic and Dirk Nowitzki in the finals
by getting 19 points.
Now, the dunk competition. This years was so weak. Too many newbies led to
a very poor competition. It had lots of potential though. Corey Maggette looked
good with his first one but had a brain cramp and didn't make the finals. Stro
coulda done some damage if he made that last dunk in round 1. Baron Davis almost
made me cry cuz I was pulling for him in the finals and he came up with that
garbage for his second try. Finally, Desmond Mason's final dunk was nice, but
if he made the between the legs dunk, Isiah Rider style, he would've made it
a worthy competition. Regardless, this was probably the worst dunk competition
since Brent Barry won it in 1997 (i think, maybe 1996).By the way, Deshaun Stevenson's
"Off Tha Heezy Fo Sheezy"? Pleezy, that dunk was so eezy I could've done that
off my kneezy.
Finally the all-star game. This was by far one of the best all-star games I have ever seen. The West all-stars got off to a huge start and never looked back...until the fourth quarter. After three quarters, the West was winning by 19 points, and then Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury took over and the lead disappeared. AI had 15 points in the last nine minutes and Starbury outdid Kobe Bryant in the end (and made a fool of Vlade Divac) and the East won the most exciting all-star game in recent history 111-110. Allen Iverson had 25 points and was named MVP. That's my man!
AFRO NEWS: I think that over the weekend, the fro has grown a bit. I
have seen a noticeable difference. Also, my hair is beginning to look even better
when I comb it so I can still go out and look as superfly as ever. Another note,
I've decided to grow out my hair to the point where I can get cornrows. I figure
that since I don't personally know anyone with cornrows, I want to break free
from the pack.
Also, to be noted, I will have some afro pics (afro picks...haha) in an upcoming
newsletter. I have two pics on one camera and one on another camera. Both rolls
are far from developped though. I'll do my best to get 'em here soon though.
ALBUM UPDATE: I have finally chosen an eighth song. I think I will go
with picking four more songs to get a total of twelve and then from there, I
will trim it down to eight cuz right now, it is too hard to say I want these
eight together or if I want some on another future project. Stay tuned for more.
Also, I have slowly begun to lose my shyness of singing by singing when I play
basketball or golf.
BABE BATTLE 4: Last week's babe battle was epic. It was a fierce battle
between Megan the assassin and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Megan turned out
to be the hotter of the two so way to go Megan. That's our belated birthday
present to you. This week, we have another great battle lined up for you. This
week it's the girl who will bring Tomb Raider to life, Angelina Jolie, versus
the real star of American Pie, Shannon Elizabeth. Let the naked mud wrest...i
mean...the voting begin! CLICK HERE TO VOTE ON THIS WEEK'S BATTLE: ANGELINA JOLIE VS. SHANNON ELIZABETH.
SURVIVOR: Survivor was great this week. To make long stories short,
this one was all about scheming and some alliances began to form, and some went
down the drain. Jerri and Colby apparently have the hots for each other, but
I think Jerri is just working the siren's call on him. Hopefully, Colby doesn't
fall for that. Jeff and Alicia go for walks now and talk about who they should
vote off. What's interesting is, they plan to vote out the people who have the
best chance at taking them down. A pretty good strategy, but one you can't apply
til the tribes are broken apart and it's every person for themselves. Finally,
more lying happened. Tina, who last week helped Maralyn backstab Kel and give
him the boot, voted off her "best friend" Maralyn this week. Mad Dog
got 5 of the 7 votes and was sent packing. She then gave her Mad Dog hat to
Amber. Next week, Mike continues with his Lord of the Flies lifestyle and kills
a pig and smears it's blood on his face. Mmmmm...can't wait.
I was watching muchmusic and they had a live interview with the Backstreet
Boys. Nick Carter was wearing a green hooded Xzibit sweatshirt. Is this part
of their plan to transform from Backstreet Boys to Johnny No-name and the O-Town
Murder Squad? Stay tuned!
We currently have no one in line to win a salmon award after this week. Many
people ask what the salmon award is. The salmon award is given out each week
to a member who chooses the coolest title for themselves. For instance, say
you wanted to be "Brown Belt Champion", "Super FunBo Fantasizer" or whatever
you like, you just email me with the title you want and I will give you the
salmon award. The more I like your title, the sooner you will win. So keep those
titles coming.
Over the past week, I have gotten many nice responses from people through email and ICQ messages. Just so you know I appreciate it, I want everyone to know that I say thank you.
Super Ugmo Deluxe, Erin Baker, has asked to have her birthday announced here. She celebrated it this past week. Happy Birthday, Erin. I feel bad for not mentioning anyone else who recently celebrated their bday (and there were lots of you) so let me say happy birthday to all of you, too.
Below is the list of past issues along with some of the highlights:
