Westsidewill - Wild Off The Air

Normally clean cut and clean mouthed DMX let an F-Bomb go today in court. Yep, that’s right, DMX said a cuss word. Which is weird because I wouldn’t think he has ever used a potty word in his life, and to find out he did so in a court of law..>GASP!!!

Slow news day eh?

The Nooge

Nick Bollea, son of reality TV star/Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, was sentenced to prison today after crashing his 2 Fast 2 Furious-style car a year ago and almost killing his friend. This brings to mind three very important issues: 1) driving your car 80+ mph and/or racing your car on a regular street, or anywhere for that matter is stupid, 2) if you’re going to be stupid, at least wear your seatbelt while being stupid, and 3) don’t drink while performing option 1. I forgot to mention Bollea was under 21 and still blew a .02, which may not be much, but in the bigger picture I’d say it’s a big deal.
Look, I get the whole racing scene. Back in high school, I thought it was cool to find empty strips of side road and watch people race their cars, I even raced a couple of times. But that fact of the matter is that it’s illegal, and more importantly it’s dangerous. This Nick kid got lucky, but his friend wasn’t. He was in critical condition for months and now needs to be under special care for the rest of his life. The car they were in flipped and slammed into a palm tree. Unfortunately, it takes events like these to straighten people out and get a point across.
Anyways, not exactly the feel-good Friday kind of blog I was hoping for, but that was really the only big news of the day for me. Unless you count Dave bench pressing 120.

Enjoy the weekend,

I was shocked and saddened to read this morning that my good friend Bobby Van Winkle (you can call him Vanilla for short) was arrested on domestic battery. Sadness quickly gave way to happiness though, since I just assumed that some guy at a bar had called him “Vanilla face” or “Iceman,” and Vanilla had given him a 90’s-style beat down in return. That happiness went back to sadness when I read further and found out that he was beating his wife, because the Vanilla Ice that I know is better than that. And I do know him pretty well. However, that sadness went right back to happiness when I laid eyes on this

For a late-night mug shot, Mr. Ice looks relatively well-groomed and, some might say, even happy to be there. So this got me to thinking — maybe this was his first time being arrested and he had heard that they have an ice cream sundae bar in jail. I know if I heard that, I’d be smiling too. Heck, I’d put the cuffs on myself to save them the trouble. However, upon further review…

that looks like the face of a man who was promised a sundae bar and did not get one. And for the record, that last mug shot was taken much earlier than the first one. So Ice clearly knew there was no sundae bar. However, ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you as “Exhibit A,” the most clear-cut evidence that there is in fact a sundae bar in prison.

Now tell me that doesn’t look like a man who was pleasantly surprised to find out that he has a bowl of ice cream waiting for him. So I guess you could say I’ve solved this mystery. My work here is done. Everyone enjoy the weekend.

I dig sprinkles,

Matt
