One of the most amazing points during Rafael Nadal’s historic run to the U.S. Open title this year. Technically, it’s a 360 degree half volley. But it sounds better to call it the “Matador’s Pirouette” since Rafa is a warrior with the grace of a ballet dancer.
M. Night Shayamalan’s new movie “Devil” opened last weekend. Without having seen it, I will make 2 wild predictions about the film:
Don’t believe me? Check out the chart above showing Shayamalan’s movie ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
Actually, the article states that approximately 80% of Americans believe the Earth revolves around the sun - which means that 20% believe the opposite. Interestingly enough, 20% of Americans also incorrectly believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Coincidence?
Yep, Mike Huckabee will the guest speaker at Sunday’s worship service for First Baptist Church of Charlotte. Woohoo! Maybe I can shake the hand that rocks a mean Bass Guitar.
E3 2010 announcement: a new Legend of Zelda game! Nintendo officially wins E3. Between this game, the new Donkey Kong, the new Kirby, and the new Metroid, I will have no money left by the end of this year.

ok Asheville, we get rated well in lots of lists. But seriously, saying that we’re more romantic than Nashville, Myrtle Beach and Las Vegas is not saying much at all.

They say what happens in the Biltmore House stays in the Biltmore house. They also say what happens in the Blue Ridge Parkways of the Appalachain trail stays there unless your name is Mark Sanford.
Don’t blame Arizona’s farmers. Once all the illegal immigrants were gone, there was nobody left to water their crops.
Does everyone else already know that this tainted romaine lettuce giving people e-coli is from Arizona? Cause you should. Another reason to say that Arizona is full of shit?
May 11, 2010 - MTV’s too-smart animated series will finally be released in DVD format. Nice to know MTV still wants to make money. I thought perhaps they’d decided to become a non-profit organization, which seemed the only reason they had not put out the Daria DVD yet
This sounds interesting. Unfortunately, I am very bad at sales. These are my usual sales pitches:
“Wanna buy, wanna buy, wanna buy?”
“If you buy this, you’ll lose 30 pounds. Not that you need it or anything.”
“Please buy this high-quality item which I have not sold a single one of yet.”
“Buy or Die” (for those unfamiliar, the slogan is a reference to Rapper Diddy’s “Vote or Die” campaign.)
“Everytime I sell one of these, a Wal-Mart worker wins their freedom.”
We’re looking for a full time inside sales associate. Who wants to work with me?!
It’s Kentucky Derby time! Which means it’s time to handicap each horse’s name. Horses are listed by post position but if this becomes the actual order of finish, call me Nostradamus. Call me Super Nostradamus.
1. Lookin At Lucky - Odds-on favorite has a pretty solid name. Here’s looking at you, lucky.
2. Ice Box - This name reminds me of the female football player in “Little Giants”. I cannot decide if that’s good or not.
3. Noble’s Promise - Too presumptuous.
4. Super Saver - Sounds like a grocery store promotion. Not good.
5. Line of David - Nooooooooo
6. Stately Victor - Noooooooo
7. American Lion - Horses = America’s version of lions. That’s my analysis of this name.
8. Dean’s Kitten - And the award for least intimidating name goes to…
9. Make Music for Me - This sounds dirty.
10. Paddy O’Prado - Fun to say.
11. Devil May Care - Can the American public rally around a devil who cares? Or may rally around a devil who may care?
12. Conveyance - No
13. Jackson Bend-I feel neutral toward this name.
14. Mission Impazible - It sounds like the producers of the “Fast and Furious” movie series came up with this name.
15. Discreetly Mine - This may be the best name in the field.
16. Awesome Act - Yep.
17. Dublin - Naming horses directly after cities and nothing else shows complete lack of creativity. Awful.
18. Backtalk - If this horse doesn’t win, we’ll know why. It’s a teenager in rebellion.
19. Homeboykris - Wow. Never thought I’d see a name like this in the field. Funny stuff.
20. Sidney’s Candy -Another name I’m neutral on.
