Myself, W2, Big Brother, MC Saiyid, Lady B, Adam-ant-ium Claws and The Duke visited the garden last night. Everyone had a chance to weigh in on this this circus. Boy Genius' post summarizes my current thoughts nicely.
In other news, great blog rec from my man Jim Green...Definitive Beards...a site all APT folks will love.
Hello. It's been a while, but I couldn't not post this. Another gem by OK Go that just proves that they'd be megastars if music television was today what it once was. Simple ideas, perfect execution. And their songs are fun, dammit! Embedding was disabled, but check it out.
Plus Talib Kweli and The Roots and the lovelies from the Dirty Projectors, all live on Jimmy Fallon, who incidentally just missed meeting APT homeboy Sir Thomas of Doyle over the Thanksgiving weekend!
Celtics reserve center/power forward Rasheed Wallace thinks the NBA is going soft.
“They gotta know that he’s a damn flopper,” Wallace said. “That’s all Turkodo (pictured below holding last years All-Flopper Award) do. Flopping shouldn’t get you no where. He acts like I shot him.”
Wallace said that’s a cheap way to play defense.
“That’s not basketball, man. that’s not defense. That’s garbage, what it is. I’m glad I don’t have too much of it left.”
Reminded that he has three years left on his contract didn’t hold back his lecture, adding that Paul Pierce did nothing wrong on his dunk over Chris Bosh early in the fourth quarter.
“This game is watered down, watered down with all that flopping [crap],” he said. “They’re setting rules on us to the point where you’re taunting if you dunk on somebody. Paul dunked it and then he didn’t say nothing but it’s a tech.
“Let the Golden Child do that or one of the NBA Without Border kids do that, it’s all fine and dandy.”
My man Adam-ant-ium Claws is a devoted backpacker, climber, mountain biker, and snowboarder. He drops by APT to give us the down and dirty on Eastwood's rock climbing epic.
The Eiger Sanction...where else can you see Clint Eastwood in knickers? This right here is part 007 flick and part Baffin Mtn film festival. Eiger Sanction is classic 70's explotation with enough stereotyped beauties and politically incorrectness to please any Dirty Harry fan.
Leaving behind his tenure as prof of art to return to his first love, killing people for money and climbing, Dr. Hemlock ventures to the Swiss Alps to climb the Eiger and assassinate a member of his climbing team.
What makes this film really worth your while is Clint's authenticity. He does his own stunts and the climbing is first rate. Just don't worry about the plot holes.
