- True Story
Last Call is kind of like Blogkakke only on PCP, LSD and ludes. Fuckin ludes man. Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to gather with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians. So come in, grab a drink and tell us a joke, vent about that local sports team of yours or just regale us with tales that in your non anonymous life would get you arrested. Like that time Logic…
Today’s theme is Chuck, the TV show. Last night was the 2 hour Season 3 Premiere, and tonight is the first airing of the third episode. If you don’t like Chuck, I don’t know if we can be friends anymore.
Musical Interlude:
Jeffster from Chuck.
Linkage:
Style Points: Chris Hansons Axe takes some time out of recapping the weekend to let y’all know he’s available for hire.
Low Posts: Now that Jayson Williams is in prison, he meets his new cellmate. Listen in (read) on their first conversation.
NJ.com: If you like TV and you don’t read Sepinwall (he’s over there in the blogroll –>), you’re an idiot. This is his open letter to you, the non Chuck watcher, why you should be watching Chuck.
What’s Allen Watching: Sepinwall reviews last nights episodes of Chuck in a way that I couldn’t. Legibly.
Daddys Sugar Ball: The weekend that was. Of course it comes with their brand of Pennsylvanian snark.

Purple Jesus Diaries:PJD does a wild card weekend recap. Rob, you may not want to read this one.
EDSBS: USC fail is the new black. That’s all.

True story: I was arrested once for throwing a tire through a jewelry store window. They tried to pin Grand Larceny on me. I wasn’t caught when we ran, but my room mate was slower than me. He forgot his ID in the apartment and when I was upstairs rejoining my keg party the plain clothed cops came in and said “That’s him. That’s the guy, the one with the striped pink shirt.”
So when I was in the hoosegow, I was cuffed to the bench and this guy was placed directly across from me. I was joking around with the cops because they basically just had me in the drunk tank because they aren’t allowed to release a drunk guy…Well, this kid supposedly got into a fight at a bowling alley and he came in wearing flip flops, skinny jeans, 2 (count ‘em) TWO popped collars with hair passed his eyes. He thought he was the man because they had 6 cars down at the bowling alley to bring him in.. So the cops told me to mess with him, and I did..
BowlingAlleyKid: “Hey, kid. What are you in for?”
Logic: “Murder one!!!!” (tries to break out of handcuffs)
BowlingAlleyKid: (flinches like a bitch)
/FACT
So, why exactly did you throw a tire through a window in the first place? That doesn’t seem terribly logical.
I’m guessing the alcohol combined with the roofies running through his system to form the ultimate roofie colada
Alert to Logic: You’re not supposed to take the roofies yourself. [/can't see anyone else giving them to him;)]
Listen, if you roofie yourself you don’t have to pay for as many drinks. And see how well those fellas from the Hangover turned out?
Only one missing tooth and a little second degree sunburn. Plus that one guy might have found love. Love man.
haha, that’s a burn
My room mate threw it at me and it hit me. Then I returned it, but he ducked. The window took the brunt of it.
There was a tire just randomly lying in the street? Weird.
Nah it was at a gas station holding down a tarp that was over a sand pile for which they throw down on the streets when it snows
fair enough
Wow, what lottery did I win that I rank a hottie? Woo!! Thanks! I feel special!
Well, he’s from Chuck, so in keeping with todays theme he’s all yours. Plus, AA, Marissa and Berstreet don’t show up anymore so you’re the only lady left. And a lovely one at that.
Really, what’s with Berstreet? She left and now she’s too good for us?
And I know AA’s busy with school.
Remind me later and I’ll fill you in on the situation as I know it. Ooh, time for a drink.
So random question for y’all. One of my fake Twitter accounts has this follower. Even though it’s clear that this account is a farce, she insists on trying to have “real” conversations. Not the conversations people have with @PimpBillClinton or what not, but real ones. Any ideas on a course of action other than telling her to off herself?
Yeah. Just don’t reply. Or block her.
I must say, you have some talent in picking grade A ‘tang. Sculptor is gaining disciples.
What are the odds of finding a good UFC feed tonight? Gotta run but if I find one later I’ll share it here.
hahahaaaaa classic. me with disciples, now that’s a scary thought.
Well thank you. There’s some feeds of MMA TV that I found, but I have no idea who’s on UFC tonight or what normal channel.
Well Monchhichi did a review over at the Pub. Since you asked and all.
ah, well I’ll check it out
Dear MMA Expert,
Why is Jens Pulver still fighting?/Why is UFC/Dana White still giving him fights?
I kinda like the little (evil) guy and he’s not half-bad as a color commentator, but a few more beatings like he’s taken in the last few fights and he’s going to end up in a nursing home.
Am I wrong?
*Sees nobody else has answered this, pretends to be an expert*
I think Jens Pulver loves the rush and has nothing else in his life to give it to him.
He should retire or the WEC should refuse to book him. Then again, Dana is also letting his “best friend” get back in the cage despite the fact the guy sometimes sounds like his opponent’s gloves were made of 21st chromosomes that were then punched into him.
Sorry, I’m late on this one. Dana is always going to keep the big names going. Pulver is a recognizable fighter. He’s not on Liddell’s level but that guy keeps getting his dick kicked in. Hell, Ken Shamrock is fighting rounds in Mexico soon.
It’s like watching Emmitt Smith on the Cardinals, you almost feel bad for the guy but he is, most likely, trying to prove to himself that he still has “it”.
Can I nominate “White Man in Hammersmith Palais” for the Hall of Underrated Clash Songs? Then again, most of them would be in there.
Janie Jones, Clash City Rockers and Rudie Can’t Fail would like a word, sir.
Sigh. We need Fuse in here for this.
But yeah, I’ll second that nomination. I’m presuming the ones that will be skipped will be the two or three that are still overplayed (Rock the Casbah)?
I oddly don’t know a lot of Clash songs. Kind of grew up in country (both geographically and musically), so I blame that on me still catching up on music.
Fantastic song. One of my favourites. I’d also suggest “Clampdown.”
“Death or Glory” ain’t a bad little song…
Who said what now about McGwire?
Because if it was about doping, let me know when you’ve caught Jeter. Until then, I’m not interested.
When’s LaRussa gonna stop skating on this? That would be fun.
Door near the TUNNEL was closed during practice today. I’m almost scared to watch what Coach Dixon has in store for Uconn Wednesday.
Is the TUNNEL a distant relative of The Door from Kentucky?
*facepalm*
Hoo boy. The jokes and graphics involved in TUNNEL watching are going to be special.
If one more motherfucker tries to tell me that Mark McGwire is a fucking hero for FINALLY admitting to being a cheat, I’m gonna have to choke a bitch.
Foodie fight on Twitter…
Must Defend Rick Bayless’ honor
Bayless is a hell of a chef who has the worst cooking show on TV (male division).
Also, I am mad at him for not killing Skip while they were children.
That’s weird that he has a bad cooking show (never seen it), every time he’s been on Top Chef he’s been great and he won the first Top Chef Masters.
And yeah, he’s a great chef. One of the few that I’d come out of retirement to work for.
Imagine Michael Chiarello’s show with more smarm, a NoCal “New Age-y” vibe, and a lot more phony/awkward “spontaneous” dialog.
Which is too bad, because he IS great on Top Chef and any other non-scripted work I’ve seen of his.
too bad indeed. I’d still work for him
ACK. Not gonna watch that. Thanks for the heads up.
\agreed, it’s a shame, I really like his recipes.
Carlos Tevez totally saved my shit in Fantasy Football today. I started my day at -3 and ended at 33. Booyakasha!!!
I forgot, he was my captain.
What pisses me off is that players such as Bonds and McGwire are picked on (with some validity) but others get off essentially scot-free.
Personally, I don’t think that steroid use precludes Bonds from the Hall of Fame. McGwire should be in to. They are representative of the players of their time.
If the writers are going to get moralistic, then why are racists (Cobb, ahem) and people with spousal abuse permitted in the hall, because to me those are far worse crimes than steroids. Either remove all the athletes with some dark cloud around them, or include the top players*, regardless of steroids.
*Does not include Jim Rice or Andre Dawson.
Oh yeah, and that’s like Pettite being a hero. You fucking idiot, he cheated, made millions, and now you respect him because he admitted to what he did while you rip on Clemens for doing the same thing (but not apologizing). They both fucking cheated!!!!
The difference there is in what they took. I don’t give much of a crap about beisball but some folks do. Steroids make you stronger. HGH helps you stay healthy/recover from injuries….
I agree that they should all be punished or rewarded the same. And I lean strongly towards punished.
The Baseball Hall of Fame is a joke at this point, but they still shouldn’t get in, imho.
If there were a gold medal for “Coattail Riding” Bruce Buffer would be the Al Oerter of it.
Amir Sadollah is really good at catching jabs with his face.
So for those of you that didn’t see the Twitter conversation, I propose a question.
Do places like Chik-Fil-A and In N Out Burger not expand to new markets in order to keep their exclusivity or due to regional tastes. Or is there another potential reason?
I don’t know why, Chick Fil-A would sell on Mars. That shit is TASTY.
That’s what I hear. Chicken sells everywhere, hence KFC, so why da fuck would they exclude so many people. You don’t have to be black to enjoy chicken, and chicken doesn’t have to be served with collard greens, but I digress I believe I’m getting further and further from my point
Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sundays. They might not move to areas that won’t allow them to continue that corporate practice (complete guess here).
Yeah, I think you’ve lost the plot.
Huh. I’m guessing regionalism to a degree – but because of brand recognition competition – if there’s competition, they seem to arrive. In Jersey, we don’t (yet) have In-N-Out or Steak-N-Shake, but Sonic has just begun to arrive, and we’ve also got Five Guys making an appearance (Hey Fuse! come on down!). It seems that the more burger chains we get, the more that arrive (we have some Checkers around too) to try to get a piece of the action. I’m hoping SNS moves in next. NOM.
Gah, and we have none of those up here. There might be a Sonic in Toronto but I’m not sure. We do have Fat Burger though. oh and MacDonalds
Wait, are you in Canadia?
Yeah I’m one of those Canadian assholes that you hear about all the time.
I had no idea that the interweb reached that far.
What part of America Junior are you in?
Alberta, or Texas North. Specifically Edmonton.
You poor bastard.
It was big news when we got Krispy Kreme, for about 2 months. THen people went back to Tim Hortons and I think they’ve closed down.
We might have a Krispy over here still. I saw Krispy Kreme boxes here this summer
There might be one in Toronto, but I’m pretty sure they basically failed.
Oh, I forgot about Fat Burger here (in Atlantic City). We also have Fuddrucker’s (not a fan).
Fuddruckers died here a long time ago. The Fat Burger is about an hour bus trip away from me so I unfortunately don’t hit it very often. Last year when we were opening our new restaurant, there was one right there so I ate there a lot before the kitchen got set up.
Oh and Zach Galifianakis was in my hometown today… eating at the restaurant that I used to work at…. Why was I not alerted, I have TWO Ferns.
Ahhh the Frontera Grill. Excellent mexican food. Rick Bayless is a fantastic chef.
Welcome Martin. I don’t believe you’ve been here before. I concur on Bayless. On Twitter his food was compared to Taco Bell
Proving that Twitter has a large population of Philistines.
If I hadn’t heard so many stupid things in my life, I might say that that was the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Yeah, that’s definitely up there in the Annals of Stupid Shit.
@ Gally & Mr.RedDevil – I was thinking of they only get in with * – this motherfucker used performance enhancers, so we really don’t know if he’s deserving or not, but in an age of cheaters, he cheated better.
To me, leaving them out is like ignoring that it happened. Putting it in is more shameful in a way, since they’ll always be linked to what they did (although I guess seeing their stats and then asking why and then saying ‘ooh, I see’ might be more shameful overall).
Thay can put their plaques in a closet with a sign that reads “Cheaters”.
I’d be cool with that.
Putting it in is shameful…. That’s what the amish girl said…
a new challenge for Sculptor? (They were mennonites last time, weren’t they?)
haha, yeah they were
Mennonites are a branch of Amish. Less strict about things like electricity and cars and such.
Yeah, the mennonites up here have cars, and tractors for their farms and what not.
Never heard of Fuddruckers (I suppose you really are Texas North, Gally, if you get them)
As you folks are talking about fast-food, I’ll change the topic slightly; I just made a salad to finish supper and had:
Pomegranates. Never tried one until Christmas. Never realized what I was missing.
Pomegranate (n) pä-m?-?gra-n?t: fruit having negative caloric value due to the fact that the work expended burns more fuel than the fruit provides; nature’s tastiest piece of busy-work.
They sure are tasty.
much better than celery. From a purely evolutionary standpoint, why the fuck are pomegranates still here? Animals wont eat food that’s not nutritious unless they’re desperate. So either we’re desperate, dumb or those fucking things grew due to our stupidity.
@MrRedDevil Alberta isn’t that bad. Sure we were the coldest city on earth for two or three days, but it’s above 32 here right now and y’all are just as cold or colder. Plus you can’t play outdoor hockey if it doesn’t get below 32
Good evening folks.
Assassin’s Creed II just took me to bed and made sweet, sweet love to me for 3 hours. I needed a cigarette.
How are you folks?
Apparently not as happy as you are.
Not going to lie. The repetiveness of the first one made me return it for game credit half way through the game. Just didn’t dig it.
Trying to forget the weekend, but at least the 3rd period of Calgary-Vancouver was wonderful.
which one you cheering for?
Neither. Vancouver is probably my least favourite of the western teams, but I’m generally indifferent to all 3 and just enjoyed the hockey.
ahh. Well I’m hoping the Oilers lose 34 or more of their remaining 38 games. It’ll pretty much guarantee us the #1-2 draft pick. We’ve got to quit finishing in the middle third of the standings. We end up just out of the playoffs every year, and never low enough to get a good draft pick.(except Gagne, who’s still a ways off.
BEST. GAME. EVER.
Anybody looking for a link to the fights? There are two fights left. Let me know and I’ll post it.
Oh Facebook chat, now I remember why I don’t linger on Facebook too long.
Uh oh. Sounds uh, disastrous.
Not disastrous, per se; but really, I had better things to do tonight.
You guys are reminding me how much I miss my Frontera brand honey/red pepper grilling sauce. They don’t make it anymore. If only my dumb ass had copied down the ingredients before recycling the last empty bottle.
this is the internet, it’s probably out there somewhere.
try Here, or email/twitter him. He’s pretty good at answering questions.
@ Gally. Like 2Y, I cheer for Montreal.
I grew up a Leafs fan, but turned on them in my early teens and picked the team Leafs fans hate the most. Toronto then began not to suck (they had been rather good when I was 10 and 11) and Montreal has been 6-9th in the conference almost every year since.
Les Habs still have more playoff wins in the last 10 years. AND more Stanley cups in the last 20, 30, 40 and forever.
Fuck your Canadian teams. Go. Blackhawks.
Full of Canadian players…. Eat a dick Rob….
/kidding
Who all left Canadia to get paid US cash. And when we’re done with them, we’ll send them back to Canadia to make more hockey players. It’s like Canadia’s greatest export.
Only if Rick Bayless prepares it just right.
//also kidding.
wow. just wow. Bravisimo. Way to plug Rick Bayless in there. +843.62
Don’t say I don’t pay attention and try to pull things into the full circle forum.
G’nite folks.
Fortunately Montreal didn’t overpay for Komisarek. I’ll take Gomez & Ginota, thanks.
And yeah, I find it annoyingly cute when Leafs fans talk about the rivalry with Toronto. The Leafs haven’t beat the Canadiens in a playoffs in my lifetime. I hate Boston, Pittsburgh, and perhaps Philly or the Devils (only because Brodeur always plays well). I feel sorry for Buffalo & Ottawa.
Well, Toronto was in the Western Conference up until about 15 years ago. So they would have only met in the finals before then and after expansion.
Phenomenal first round. I knew Escudero was the real deal but he just laid a BEATDOWN on Dunham and the guy was able to keep his wits and survive the round.
BEST. THING. EVER!
or part 1
part 2=
Shakey?
Seriously, that is TEH MOST FACEBOOK EVAR.
And on that note, I’m going to bed. Laughing.
It was pretty amazing.
Ok folks, I’m checking out for the night. Y’all have a good one.
Yup. It’s going to be a while until they meet in the East. I’m doing my best to ignore hockey in Leafland until then. Talk Radio is insufferable now, I don’t even listen but I can’t imagine what it would be like if they beat Montreal.
Night mo’fos.
BJ Penn is going to destroy Gray Maynard.
I don’t think anyone can beat Penn. I feel as if he is to BJJ what Anderson Silva is to striking.
