8 BLOGS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING

Recently a few of my fellow bloggers were kind enough to bestow awards on me, and the awards come with some challenges. The easy part is naming other blogs here at WP that I love to read. The other part involved fitting  some of my blog posts to various categories. I’ll do the difficult part first – some of my most memorable and/or controversial blog posts –  

1. MY MOST BEAUTIFUL POST – I’ll use this one since I used it to pay some deserved compliments to two of the greatest friends anyone could ask for – Noralee and Bill – https://glitternight.com/2010/11/18/special-guest-commentators-oolong-and-pekoe-ask-whats-up-with-all-these-teams-called-tigers/

2. MY MOST POPULAR POST – It may be its longevity that has given it the cumulative edge, but it’s my very first blog post, from June 21st of 2010. It’s a funny (?) list – https://glitternight.com/2010/06/21/the-20-coolest-named-college-sports-teams-you-may-have-never-heard-of-naia-edition/

3. MY MOST CONTROVERSIAL POSTS – Here Continue reading →

LEBRON JAMES REMAINS “THE BIG RINGLESS” AND “THE LORD OF NO RINGS”

 Perennial crybaby LeBron James proved once again that comparisons between him and Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant are laughable. LeBron spent this NBA Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks being a non-factor in the 4th quarter, trying to get snarky about Dirk Novitzky’s illness (even though he was congratulating himself endlessly for playing while ill earlier in this year’s playoffs) and by getting snobbish in his usual post-loss interview.

I hate to break it to you, Little LeBron, but Continue reading →

SPECIAL GUEST COMMENTATOR JAKE THE PARROT TALKS TURKEY ABOUT TEAMS CALLED EAGLES

 “Forget it, Jake, it’s  Chinatown.” … Had to be said. Now let’s move on. Since I’m getting geared up for NAIA College World Series coverage and with the Frontierado holiday coming up, plus the NCAA Divisions 2 and 3 having their baseball playoffs right now Jake the parrot, who is one of the star attractions of his mom’s blog volunteered to do some guest commentary. And be sure to buy Jake’s best-selling autobiography titled That Ain’t Dandruff: My Former Life As A Pirate’s Shoulder-Parrot. Anyway, in the bold tradition of Bogie, Tibbs, Oolong and Pekoe, Gaius, George the Whippet, Twiggy and Littlegirl, comes Jake.

JAKE: The first person to make with a “Jake want a cracker?” joke will be on my list. … I’m just sayin’.  I’m also known as JJ, as in Gittes, to throw in another Chinatown reference like the guy who normally writes for this blog did. I really admire the way

WE MARRIED A MADMAN: THE HOT NEW REALITY SERIES STARRING BIN LADEN’S WIVES

Yes, in the spirit of Sister Wives and Mob Wives, it’s We Married A Madman, a Pakistani- produced reality tv show following life from the point of view of the late Osama Bin Laden’s wives. Early reports indicate this is why the Pakistanis were less than cooperative with U.S. military and intelligence personnel about Bin Laden’s whereabouts. A raid would have spoiled production of this guaranteed ratings blockbuster. A highly- placed Pakistani source confirmed this for me recently. 

“There we were, finally poised to get our piece of the reality tv pie”, he bemoaned, “when those damn Navy Seals come in and spoil everything! It’s just another example of American Imperialism and cowboy diplomacy!” 

Like all reality shows, the program was going to  Continue reading →

SPECIAL GUEST COMMENTATOR TWIGGY EXAMINES THE SURPLUS OF TEAMS CALLED WILDCATS

Meet Twiggy Denham, aka The Freak, from that quintessential cat lover’s blog Life With 4 Cats at WordPress (written by Twiggy’s mom Sara). Twiggy was pleased with the Guest Commentator spots done by fellow kitty-cats Tibbs, Oolong and Pekoe as well as by that debonair doggy from across the pond, George the Whippet. Since I’m deluged with all the basketball tournaments going on right now in the college divisions I cover Twiggy was kind enough to volunteer to help me out by bringing his freakish sensibilities to bear on the way college sports teams drastically overuse the nickname Wildcats.

Twiggy: What’s new, pussycat? Ha! I kill me! … Hey, am I Continue reading →

HOT NEW GAME! WHICH ONE’S AL DAVIS?

One of these figures is Al Davis, the owner of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. The other one is Captain Christopher Pike from the famous two- part Star Trek story The Menagerie. Can you tell which one’s which? (Helpful hint: Al Davis is more casually dressed yet somehow less alert- looking than Captain Continue reading →

INSTANT KARMA’S GONNA GET YOU, LITTLE LEBRON!

An alleged injury plus three losses in a row since The Big Ringless (Or The Lord Of No Rings, take your pick) made with his bitchy little tweet about his former team’s plight. A tweet he then tried to deny with a lame story NOBODY believed since everyone knows a retweet will have an RT in front of it. Is Lebron a genuine sports world villain, or is he just incredibly stupid? Or simply immature? We do have to remember that he was hyped as King James since he was in high school even though he hadn’t done anything to earn such a nickname. Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan have multiple championship rings and are far more Continue reading →
