CAR HUNT DONE?:
Saturday morning, I dedicated my day to the hunt for a car. First off, my dad
and I ventured to PoCo to check out a 1980 Chevy Malibu. It had lots of promise,
even after a discussion with the guy on the phone. After venturing for a long
time, we came to a car lot called "Westwood". Now on the phone, the only thing
the guy mentioned being wrong with the car was "inside's a bit dirty, there
was a poorly welded rust thing on the back". Very simple to rectify. As we looked
at the car, it was so bad, I don't know where to begin. Crazy rust on the sides,
the trunk panel is completely paintless, down to the metal. The inside looks
like the apocalypse struck. Dirty as ODB, all the paneling was like ripped out
and stuff. Needless to say, I wouldn't give that guy the sweat off a stray dog's
nuts for that car. After that dissappointment, we went back home and my dad
told me that my mom and him would help me out buying a car so they told me to
look for something that's better than the old gangster mobile. So I flipped
through the buy n sell and auto trader with some ideas and found a 1989 Honda
Prelude for only about 6 g's. It was in Surrey and we went to check out. It
has all the bells and whistles and some other goodies like cd player and alarm.
I test drove the car and it's all good but I think it needs new shocks. My dad
and I decided that we are gonna have BCAA check out the car and if the shocks
are the sole problem, no big deal, we'll snatch it up. If other problems show,
then the hunt continues. Anyways, keep your fingers crossed for me.
ANDREA'S BBQ/PARTY:
After my long, long, long car hunting day, I was able to unwind at Andrea's
party. Jordan and I decided to be cool and come later than most because we're
cool like that. By the time I got there, quite a few of my friends were already
wasted. Anyways, let's see what happened. Warren, the Chris's, Jerred, some
girl I don't know and I played "the god game" (or "the ominpotent one drinking
game" for those easily offended). Chris Phillips was driving so he played god.
We had a good run but it was short and oft-interrupted. I was a stud as usual
there. Warren and I were campaigning over which one of us would win a babe battle
(thus leading to this week's battle). Also, I deserve a pat on the back. Considering
that I was drinking and that it wasn't my house, I went reasonably out of my
way to make sure some people didn't do anything too bad. For instance, Warren
and I took a bag of chocolate chips from the freezer and ate some. Then I passed
the bag back to Warren and he dropped it and chocolate chips spilled all over
the floor. Everyone left me hanging high and dry. I acted quick and put the
bag in the freezer and thoughtfully sweeped the chips on the floor under the
lip of the fridge (the logic was that no one would step on it and smudge it
all over the kitchen floor). Also, I kept people from trampling all over the
garden. I'm such a boy scout. Other things I remember from that night: Warren
and I went to the park and had a pow-wow (we had one in the backyard too), the
mission, someone kept telling me about how I was wearing dolce and gabana cologne,
my executive bathroom access. The night wasn't all good though. Among the low
points were me getting lectured by someone who's brain was on repeat and also
having a shoe hurled at me. Those were more or less the only probs for me that
night. Also, a severe lack of privacy. Bleh, how much privacy can you get at
a party though, right? Anyways, by around 4 am, I hit the sack and that was
that. I got to watch "Dexter" in the morning to top off the good times. And
they were all good episodes. Score!
TENNIS WITH HODGE AND AFTERMATHS: Wednesday, Hodge and I decided to go play some tennis. Hodge just had to go to Ikea first. Because he was girly that day, he spent about 5 hours at Ikea. Whatever. Anyways, we went to play at Burnaby Lake and I dismantled him with ease: 6-1, 6-2 and 3-0 (we were tired and it was getting dark so the third set ended early). Hodge was clearly intimidated from the jumpoff. After I won the first game on my serve, I broke him with ease. Just when he thought a rocket first serve of his money, I rifled it back cross court for a clean winner. At that point, Hodge and I both knew I was gonna win. Among the highlights were Hodge's three-point serve that was on fire for about 5 points and me throwing fits at a rabbit outside the court. No, I'm not crazy. After the match, we went to Warren's and watched "Down To Earth" and after that I went to Andrea's to watch TV for abit and then I finally went home at some pretty late time continuing my poor sleep pattern.
Friday, after work, Hodge gave me a call as I eating dinner and watching "Goldfinger" to see if I wanted to come down and play tennis. So I finished my dinner up and booked it down to Burnaby Lake at around 9:15 pm. Hodge was there with Farah and Rajesh. We rallied for a bit and then Hodge and I played on one court, with Farah and Rajesh on the next court over. Everything was going fine at first. I was winning 2-1 and then I won another game to take a 3-1 serve before heading out to get a stray ball. As I came back, Hodge informed me that my racket had a pretty bad fracture in it. Somehow, it was playable though. It was quite the hinderance though. Sometimes, the speed of the ball hitting the racket caused it to fly wide and crazy. Despite that, we had some of our best rallies (including one really amazing 20-hit rally) after my racket accident. And in the end, broken racket and all, I ended up beating Hodge 6-2. That's right, let it be known I BEAT HODGE WITH A BROKEN TENNIS RACKET...BOOYAH!!!
HAZARD PONG: On
thursday, Jeff and I engaged in epic ping-pong battles. In a best of three,
I beat Jeff 2 games to 1. However, the telling story was that, for the first
time in regular ping-pong, Jeff beat me. It was an amazing game that he won
21-18. I was mounting a late rally but he was just too much for me in the end.
After our regular series, we fired up the random hazards of Hazard Pong and
played to my two epic mix cd's "FunBo's House of Style" and "Jack Russell Ghetto
Fabulous Underground Mix". Something must have been in the air because I totally
dominated our three games of Hazard Pong. The highlight was in game one, when
I hit the toy cow so hard it fell over. As a result, the term "Bovinecide" was
birthed. "The Man" had little to no impact in any of the games. "The Glass Jar"
was a double agent at times, as usual. All in all, it was another good battle.
CANADA DAY PICS: Canada Day pics (as well as a few other random pieces are fired up and ready to go. Click here to visit my album on GatherRound.com
SHUGGIE OTIS AND A&B
SOUND: This is probably news to me and me only, but Jeff pointed out to
me that in the latest A&B Sound flyer, some guy said his favorite cd was "Inspiration
Information" by Shuggie Otis. That is so cool.
QUIETTSTORMM TEXT TOURNEY: Score another win for FunBo. This past week, I won under my first round battle under my battle moniker of Jack Russell. I beat some guy who goes by the name of @ngrypoet. My second round opponent is T-Wrex, who's a pretty good battler I must say. Click Here to check out my first round battle.
SALMON AWARD: This week's Salmon Award goes to someone who is, in fact, not a member. Yup, for the first time, a non-member wins the prize. Mike Grant is this week's winner for his courageous act of heroism in saving a certain unnamed friend of mine from a seemingly vicious female lecture. Mike is now known as "El Duque Lifesaver Grande". Way to go, champ!

300 Naked Women Feared Lost In Computer Crash
ELLICOTT CITY, MD--
An estimated 300 naked women, including actresses Pamela Anderson and Shannon Elizabeth, are feared lost as the result of a tragic computer crash Monday. "One minute, they were there, and the next, they were gone," said a visibly shaken Jonathan Blauvelt, 33, the Ellicott City resident whose Power Mac G4 was the site of the disaster. "To lose so many young girls in the blink of an eye like that, it's hard to comprehend. Angelina Jolie, Anna Kournikova, the chick from Species--it's just too much to bear." As data-recovery workers comb through the hard drive for signs of ass, Blauvelt is asking well-wishers to pray for the naked ladies' safe return.
WORD ON THE STREET:
D.Film (and my internet in general) have gone bananas on me once again so I
offer you a small token of WOTS-ness with this pic. My apologies if the side-scrolling drives you insano. Maybe I'll get another
movie up sometime this week, or two next week?
FUNBO ALBUM REVIEW: This week, I am reviewing an album that is long overdue for me, D'Angelo's sophomore release "Voodoo". This album was almost six years in the making. After listening to his debut "Brown Sugar" album, I was dying to see what he would come with next. D'Angelo absolutely stepped up and challenged himself as an artist with his second album. The songs are all a little grittier and more raw as opposed to the smooth, clean sound of "Brown Sugar". The production is amazing here done by D'Angelo with assists from well-knowns such as Raphael Saddiq, Q-Tip and DJ Premier. Lyrically, D'Angelo draws scenarios that make your mind wonder how one gets to thinking like that. This album is by far one of the top 3 albums released in 2000 and in my eyes, the best thing released in the past couple of years. Standout tracks on this are "Devil's Pie", "Left & Right", "Send It On", "Untitled" and "Africa".
BABE BATTLE 27: Last week, despite me bringing the newsletter on time, only 19 people voted on the babe battle. (Piper Perabo ended up winning 12 votes to 7, in case any cares anymore). I decided to take someone's advice and change the babe battle a bit and throw this in for fun. This week, the battle is between Warren and I. But it's not just any old picture. Nope, it's the blast from the past pics of each of us as a kid. This idea is so novel, I think everyone has to vote.

BASEBALL POOL: Well I improved massively on last week's measley 73 points with a 310 point week. However, Jory and Curtis are continuing to pull away on me as I close in on Jerred. I'm still in last place which proves I really gotta change my roster daily. Also, Jaydon Rush joined our group. Here are the up-to-date stats.
| BIG BAMBINO BABE RUTH (Jory) | 604 |
| Bunny Pellets (Curtis) | 549 |
| Friday Night (Jerred) | 438 |
| Cool Mother Funkers (Bobby) | 310 |
| The Family Circus (Jaydon) | 0 |
WARREN'S COOL THING OF THE WEEK: Warren said he was gonna send me a cool thing monday but no dice. I'm still waiting on it and as soon as I get it, I will add it in. Sorry for inconvenience.
RANDOM NOTES: What is honestly cooler than the word "Bovinecide"? Chillax (chill and relax) is pretty cool. I picked that up at QuiettStormm...ask Jeff, my new victory dance in ping-pong is amazing...Hodge will agree, nothing beats blaring Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" when you're driving around...the world's greatest pyjamas? Hands down, they're JJ's from Good Times. He has this tight red one piece pyjama set that has a cloud and lightning on the front and it says "dyn-o-mite". very cool...someone needs to inform the public because people don't understand: just because you are in a public bathroom and among "your fellow males" does not give you the right to pick your nose without a care. i'm sorry, it just doesn't...i'm out like whatever was in that guy's nose.

issues along with some of the highlights:
