I‘ve decided to resurrect an old feature from a blog I did a few years ago. Stupid People In The News is, or will be, a semi-weekly homage to Dumas’s everywhere.
Lil Drummer Boy
My name is MCA, I got a license to ill
For over 2 decades I’ve been a fan of the Beastie Boys. In fact, License To Ill was the second album I ever owned. On vinyl even. I got it for Easter. So it was really shitty when I found out that Adam Yauch, known as MCA, passed away from cancer today at the age of 47. Cancer sucks. RIP Adam. My deepest sympathies go out to your loved ones.
Licensed to Ill – Wikipedia, the free encyclopediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licensed_to_IllIt was the first hip hop LP to top the Billboard 200 chart. It was also Columbia Records’ fastest-selling debut record to date and sold over 9 million copies.
Wunderkind
Mason did it! With flying colors even. He had his surgery Tuesday May 1st and by dinner time he was playing like normal. No pain, no fuss. What a kid!
Poor Little Guy(s)
It seems genetics is alive and well. I was born with a hernia that required surgery. And now Mason has to have hernia surgery on May 1st. To his, um, boys. I feel so bad for him. I was too young to have any memories; I just have is a cool scar. He will remember his.
Stay Away From Gray’s
The wife and I went looking for a dining room suit. And we found a really nice one at Gray’s. Ignoring all the advice I’d ever heard about them, I decided to buy there. First the asshole tried to quote me a price $200 more than the first quote I got, which was the “sale price.” Then when we were leaving he “honored” the original quote and gave it to us for the “sale price.” Against better judgement I gave this asshole a $500 deposit. That was on March 13th. Today is April 13th, and we haven’t heard one word from them about the suit. So Amanda went to the store and demanded a refund, at which they became snippy, ignorant and generally hard to get along with. They claimed the table to be on back-order and that they had ordered it today. So when she asked why we were never contacted, a month later, they had no answer.
So PLEASE do yourself a favor and DO NOT shop at Gray’s Furniture!
Village People
I started playing Evony again. Much to the chagrin of my wife. It’s like an old friend that’s there when you’re bored. I just can’t help myself; it’s fun!
I Can’t Get No
Patient’s husband: What was it they said on Star Track?
Me: I don’t think they said anything on Star Track.
Him: Blank look
Me: Satisfaction
That’s Sick
Sickbeard is the shit!
Done
Ok the new roof is on, the upstairs bathroom is done, and the new drop-ceiling is hung in the living room. My house is officially remodeled. For now. More to come, eventually.
