Still Figuring This Out

As I mentioned when we first fired the generators back up a few weeks, things around here are going to be a little different.  And while we are working hard to find the right balance of time, the GameTime, TBD© are not up and running at full speed yet. We are still trying to figure somethings out. Unfortunately, that means there will not be a full Link Dump for you this week.

That being said, as with the days of old, we do not want to leave you completely empty handed on a Friday.  We thought it might be fun to give you a little conversation starter for you and your friends this weekend.  You know what has been going around lately? The pregnancy bug.  A lot of famous ladies (and not-so-famous, but equally awesome, ladies) are expecting; some sooner than others.  And several of these ladies are favorites around these parts of the world wide web.  So we thought, what better way to you through your Friday than with a round of Marry-[Censored]-Kill: The Pregnancy Edition.  Now, do not fear, we are not going to put any pictures up here of round bellies.  Your choice will be made pre-baby bump.  [Editor's Note: who loves you?]  Though, admittedly, one of our contestants looks quite striking with her bump.  So I ask you, dear readers, of the following three choices, who would you marry, [censored], and kill:  (1) Marisa Miller; (b) Kristen Bell; and (iii) Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (fka Kate Middleton . . . nothing like a little royalty).

Now, with the year coming to an end, the internet becomes inundated with "best of" lists, "top __" lists, etc.  And some people actually get pretty creative with there entries.  So, for your viewing pleasure, we bring you an incredibly well put together eight-minute mash-up of the fifty (50) most popular pop songs of 2012.

 Have a great weekend everyone!

Failville, Population Fail

It has been a pretty quiet week around the GameTime, TBD© offices, what with the Los Angeles Kings' season coming to an end this past night.  The Chief is clearly still in mourning.  Just not himself.  I mean, the "brain trust" is out for the day and he still says he has "things to get done for the end of the month."  Clearly, he is taking this harder than we expected.

And, well, all you people telling the Chief that there are plenty of seats available on the Canucks and/or Sharks' bandwagons are not doing us any favors.  I mean, really, you think the Chief is going throw his support behind the last two teams to eliminate his Kings from playoffs?  The Chief has asked one Ms. Kristen Bell to respond to these offers on his behalf:

That is correct, [censored] you.  Go Preds!

Now, if you have not figured it out by now, we will not be having a full Link Dump again this week.  Yes, that makes two in a row, a losing streak.  But we do, however, have a little story to share regarding an internet sensation that developed right under our noses.  If you head to YouTube and search "double dream hands", you are going to find a series of videos parodying a white guy doing a dance he calls "Double Dream Hands".  Some of you might have already done this and be well aware of what we are talking about.  That man is John Jacobson, and the dance is absolutely real.  How do I know this you ask?  

Well, you may recall that one time the Chief revealed that little secret about him being part of a nationally-ranked show choir back when he was in high school.  But the choir was not just about crushing opponents left and right in competitions across the country.  They also participated in many events for the children in the community, and donated their time to some charities.  One such charity is called America Sings!, which is a non-profit organization that puts on non-competitive choral festivals to help raise food, clothing, and money for disadvantaged children across the country.  Well, American Sings! was founded by a composer, arranger, choreographer, and 2008 Congressional candidate; one John Jacobson.    That is right, my dear readers, your beloved Chief has met, learned choreography from, and performed on stage with Mr. Double Dream Hands himself . . . on several occasions.  So, for your viewing pleasure, we present you two original John Jacobson productions:

• The dance that started it all, the original Double Dream Hands for all of you to learn and love.
• To easy? Well, now you can rock out with Double Dream Feet.  You. Are. Welcome.

The Chief informs us that they always learned the necessary choreography over the course of a sixteen-hour, two-day weekend event with Mr. Jacobson, months before America Sings! came to town.  Pretty much the ideal weekend for your average high school student, right?  Do yourself a favor and check out some of the YouTube parodies, they are pretty solid.  And check out the clips with Ellen Degeneres as well, classic.  But do not think those are the only things we have in store for your viewing enjoyment today.  In addition to Kristen Bell rocking the black-bra-under-white-shirt look (hot, right?), and John Jacobson making you want to stand up and dance in your office or cubicle (hot, right?), we have a few extra nuggets for you:

• I do not know about you, but I always feel good just getting past "ping, pong, rally, on."  So I guess that makes this pretty impressive.
• This interview pretty much confirms everything we expected about Hollywood screenwriters.
• Oh Martin, you will always be Ned Nederlander to me.
• I guarantee you this is not the first time Melanie Collins has been invited to watch someone do their business.
• You can bet the Chief was in need of necessary censorship on Monday night.

We will do our best to get the Chief back in shape by Monday.  In the meantime, have a great weekend everyone!

Does Size Really Matter?

Hello friends.  Well, sadly, actual work has once again reared its ugly head, and that has left the writers here at GameTime, TBD© without enough time or oversight to bring you your weekly dose of entertainment, also known as the Link Dump.  But what would a Friday be without a little entertainment and, more importantly, a heated debate amongst friends?

As most of you know, the Chief is a legs and butt man.  A woman with a nice set of stems will drive him wild.  This developed mostly out of (1) his love for petite women, and (b) his fear of the damage that can be caused by a set of large knockers.  Do not get me, he is not about turn a blind eye to what a woman has going on up top (after all, a lot of them paid good money for those), but he has an unnatural fear of getting knocked unconscious by an arrant boob shot to the head.  [Editor's Note: seriously, try as you might, you will never be able to convince me that a set like these couldn't kill a man.  I mean, I could think of worse ways to go, but still . . .].  Plus, a nice pair of legs and a shapely butt usually tend to indicate that the woman takes care of her body, so you are likely to find the rest of her very appealing as well.

Well, if we are talking about the Chief's preference in women, and we do not have enough time for a full Link Dump, that can only me one thing.  That is right, dear readers, it is time for GameTime, TBD©'s next installment of M-F-K: the Itty-Bitty-Titty-Committee ("IBTC") Edition.  So, we would like to know who of these "IBTC" members you would marry, [censored], and kill:  (1) Kristen Bell; (b) Keira Knightley; and (iii) Natalie Portman.

We asked the Chief to provide us with his analysis, so here we go.  Three beautiful women, all with great legs and butts [Editor's Note: boy, researching for this post was really tough . . .], and a top half proportionate to their body?  You can not really go wrong here.  That being said, those of you who know my preference in women, and know my Better Half, know that I will be marrying Kristen Bell.  No point in trying to pretend otherwise.  As part of our inevitable prenuptial agreement, I would negotiate a clause requiring her to walk three feet in front of me at all times just so I could constantly be checking her out her backside.  I mean, is that not why we gentlemen live by the motto "ladies first"?  Personally, I think the Japanese culture got it backwards by making women walk behind their husbands.  You can not enjoy the view that way.

As for which one I [censored] and which one I kill, that is a bit trickier.  If you had presented this scenario to me a couple of years ago, it would have been simple, Natalie Portman gets to taste the goods and Keira Knightley meets an untimely end.  Natalie Portman was my first celebrity crush, dating all the way back to her roll as Matilda in The Professional.  [Editor's Note: we're only 6-months apart age wise, so that isn't as creepy as it sounds . . . I hope.]  The funny thing is, while Natalie Portman has peeked career-wise over the past few years, her curb appeal has dropped a little in my book.  First, she went all boy haircut on us, and then she decided to go and get herself knocked up.  Keira Knightley, on the other hand, is the model of consistency.   The movie she is in might not be is not very good, but she is going to look good doing it and her accent rocks.  All that being said, you know I am loyal to a fault.  I wish I knew how to quit you Natalie Portman.  [Editor's Note: her being in like eleventy billion movies this year isn't helping, that's for sure.]  So, dear Keira, as good as you looked as pirate, it is time for you to walk the plank while Natalie walks my plank (Hey-OH!).

So, with that, we must cut things short and get back to life in the real world.  We hope you are able to enjoy your Friday afternoon and the heated debate we know you are about to have with those around you.  But with all this talk of legs and boobs, we thought we would leave you with one more relevant video, compliments of Spring Break 2011: "She's top heavy guys, she's top heavy."

Have a great weekend everyone!

Site News: What Happened to that Vacation?

[Editor's Note: as you all know by now, anytime the words "Site News" appear in the title, bad news is coming . . . ]

A funny thing happened last week: we went on vacation. It. Was. Marvelous.  Eighty-one and sunny in late-February?  Yes, please.  But you know what was crazy?  Apparently the rest of the world felt the need to keep on working.  Did they not get the memo?  Vacation.  [Editor's Note: well, apparently the LA Metro maintenance workers got the memo because my 20-minute delay on the train ride into this office this morning certainly didn't help our chances of getting anything of substance prepared for you.  Seriously, though, don't they know I have readers to entertain? . . . but I digress . . . ]

So, while we were on vacation, enjoying the sun, a cocktail or two (or twenty), and thinking of new and great ways to improve GameTime, TBD©, the rest of the world was acting out in pure jealousy.  Ever wonder what the Leaning Tower of Pisa looks like in person?  Well, I could have saved you the expensive plane ticket to Italy.  The stack of work waiting for me when I returned defied the laws of physics.  That said, I have been forced to spend the week catching up on more work than I care to admit, all while putting out the fires that manage to pop up on a weekly.  If ever there was a week I really wanted to win the lottery, this is it.

Unfortunately, that means we will not be able to provide you with the one thing you look forward to most every Friday.  What? No, calm down people.  The weekend will still get here.  And to be honest, I am a little insulted (yet, also flattered that you think we here at GameTime, TBD© have that much power). No, no.  We are unable to provide you with a full Link Dump.  Epic. Fail.

But you also know by now that we are never willing to leave you completely empty-handed.  That is right, per usual, we hope to make it up to you with a hot chick and some funny videos.  We figured that by now you were tired of picture after picture of attractive blonds like Marisa Miller, Kristen Bell, and Blake Lively, so we decided to mix things up this week and go with a picture of . . . well . . . attractive blond Kate Upton, the blog-o-sphere's consensus pick as the hottest new addition to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue:

Seriously though, any one else think their guidance counselor failed them by not mentioning fashion photographer as a career option?

As for the videos, we obviously have many to catch up on, seeing as with missed a whole week.  So you can bet that next week there will an extra long video portion of the Link Dump.  But for now, we hope these seven will do:

• In case you were wondering, America's dominance over Canada extends all the way to soccer.
• As if this course was not crazy of enough for a BMXer, the throw in a dog.
• Remember that dude who got dumped by his girlfriend after he let her get hit by a ball at an Astros's game last summer?  It was probably for the best.
• Anyone else think The Onion managed to hire actual pedophiles for this news piece?
• Holy cheerleader spazz out, Batman!
• Any guess at who the slowest runner at the NFL combine was?
• It is the new workout we should all be doing, especially with those who are already doing it.

Have a great weekend everyone!

It's A Celebration

Well, my dear readers, it is a week of celebration here around the GameTime, TBD© offices. Today, my Better Half is celebrating her [censored] birthday and tomorrow, we culminate two years of hard work on her part as she graduates from UCLA with a Masters Degree in Public Health.

Unfortunately, all of this celebrating is going to leave us with no time to get out our weekly dose of entertainment, otherwise known as the Link Dump, for you tomorrow. But we did not want to leave you empty handed like we may have done a couple weeks ago. Since this post is in honor of my Better Half and her birthday, I offered her the opportunity to pick a picture to tide people over for the next week; you know, give our lady-readers something to appreciate. I told her to pick one of her "Celebrity 5". So, here is our offering to you, in honor of my Better Half. She would like you all to take a moment and enjoy a look or two at Kristen Bell . . . wait, what? Nice!


Everything is right in the world. The sun rose in the east this morning (I think), USC got what it deserved (and then some) from the NCAA, and my Better Half wants to spend her birthday oogling pictures of Kristen Bell (and send my fantasy radar to record levels). If some one could please figure out what I did to deserve all this awesomeness, and let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.

Seriously people, this week can not get any better. Oh wait . . . it can.

To all of our avid readers, have a great weekend!

To my Better Half, "congratulalations", happy birthday, I love you.

Hot Chick Friday

It is one of those sad Fridays when we here at GameTime, TBD© have actual "work" getting in our way. And with the likelihood of not having enough time to provide you with your weekly dose of fun and flare commonly known as the Link Dump, we are forced to appeal to the masses (and by masses we, of course, mean mostly our male readers and those female readers who don't mind checking out an attractive woman while thinking "yeah, if I swung that way I'd hit it" . . . we L-O, L-O, L-O-V-E those female readers, they're our favorite . . . but I digress) by posting a picture of hot chick and hoping you will find it in your hearts to forgive us.

The Chief pointed out that you are probably expecting a picture of Marisa Miller or Kate Beckinsale. And who would blame you? They are two of The Chiefs favorites, having proudly held down the top two spots of his "Celebrity 5" list for the last few years. But he decided to mix things up today, deciding instead to finally introduce to one of the remaining three on his list. So, without further adieu, we proudly present to you Kristen Bell, number three on The Chiefs "Celebrity 5" (and rumored to have made my Better Half's "Celebrity 5" . . . reason number eleventy billion why my Better Half is better than yours).



We offer Ms. Bell as our humble apology. As always, if the storm ends early, we will do our absolute best to get at least some links up. In the meantime, we hope Ms. Bell helps provide at least a little enjoyment to your Friday.

In the event we are unable to get back to you later today, we wanted to remind you, have a great weekend everyone!

P.S. Let's get fired up. Happy Friday!

Now Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Program

I love short weeks. I l-o, l-o, l-o-v-e them (in a "have to have a shotgun wedding" type of way). There is just something about only having to work four days in a given week without having to use a vacation or sick day. It is almost liberating, like you are sticking it to the man.

Yet even with this short week, there is still something about Fridays. I can not quite put my finger on it, but there is something about this day that causes time slow down or, on occasion, completely stop. If you have a theory or understanding as to why this happens, please feel free to let me know. In the mean time, I will continue to do my duty as editor-in-chief of GameTime, TBD©, faithfully providing entertainment to the masses. I know we have been a little light on original entertainment over the past couple of weeks, but for good reason. This is a one-man shop and this one man has been incredibly busy. I do not mean to make excuses, but I am hoping that in your heart of hearts you will be able to forgive me. So, while you mull over whether you are going to forgive me, here are some things you might have missed in the world of sports:

• Unused tickets from Game 2 of the 1996 Stanley Cup Semifinals game between the Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche just became a whole lot more valuable.
• Joakim Noah: A Model Idiot.
• I will take "Know Your Opponent" for $1000, Alex.
  
• Much like Major League Baseball, the Detroit Tiger have been slow to respond to the rhoids issues.
• Manu Ginobli will be broke by the end of next season.
  
• A sumo wrestler with a ladle . . . stop me if you have heard this one already.
• Blah, blah, blah . . . women's tennis . . . blah, blah, blah . . . Playboy . . . blah, blah, blah . . . wait, what?
• I used to feel bad for players who were traded for the infamous "Player-to-be-Named Later".
• The Dan Marino of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
• The Seattle Mariners have managed to ruin the only good thing they have going for them this season.

You may recall that a couple weeks back my Bro got married. Late Friday night/early Saturday morning of that weekend, Crazy Cooter, Brother-in-Law and myself were showing off some of our favorite YouTube videos. In the process of searching, we stumbled across perhaps one of the greatest hidden gems of our time. For your viewing enjoyment, I present some of our favorites and the hidden gem:

• "It's the woo-WOOOOOO. You know what I'm sayin'?"
• I can not decide which video I like better, this one . . .
• . . . or this one?
• Let me get this straight, they are goats in a tree and they can talk?
  
• The Hidden Gem.
• And in case you did not already know, Mariah Carey proved once again that she is physically retarded.
  

Have a great weekend everyone!
