Vacation

This is why True Story shouldn't be allowed to go on an extended vacation
(NSFW...effing puppets.)

I mean seriously, Iran goes batshit, North Korea threatens nuclear war with...everybody(??), Colbert goes bald (for a great cause)...and even Long Island tries to become the 51st state.


But none of this....NONE of this compares to the kind of (Un?)necessary Rap that we have kept from you during this slacking, America.

We know, we know
Unacceptable.

Fear not, Louisiana lends us a hand with bringing this blog back to "WTF Was Just Said In That Rap Song" prominence.

We give you....Halle Berry (She's Fine)





Now....clearly Halle Berry has heard of this, and there is word of prompt litigation of Hurricane Chris (or is that Rajon Rondo?); information further backed by the creation of a new version "She's Fine".

That'll happen. Unfortunately, that still isn't the whackest thing she's done in the past.

(Pssh, we know what you're thinking, you thought the link was something else. Whatever. We liked it. Wanna fight about it?)

So pump that jam and make sure you pay attention at 2:26

I'm finna flip her through traffic
With tha top back of tha donk
Girl I guarantee I can make you go num-num-num num-num

Uh....right?

But anyways, no worries about the lawsuit Ms. Berry...we still like.

And don't you worry America, more to come soon!

It Just Got a Little Dusty In Here......

Just found out about this ESPN "30 for 30" project in which filmmakers all over the world will contribute. Taking from The Futon Critic.com:

"Debuting in October 2009, "30 for 30" will gather 30 filmmakers to each create one-hour films on topics from 1979 to 2009, ESPN's first 30 years."

Wow, what a great idea. here's the whole link. Barry Levinson, Peter Berg(Friday Night Lights TV Show), Spike Lee, and Steve Nash!

Speaking of Nash's project, this brings us back to a story we heard from NYC resident I-Biz. Apparently he saw the 2-Time MVP on the subway on the way to work reading My First Movie. It all makes sense now, as he was probably prepping himself up for what will turn out to be, in reality, his first movie. His subject? Fellow Canuck Terry Fox. To say this is inspirational would be an understatement. Thankfully, ESPN (we read about this on Bill Simmons' Twitter account) already did a piece on him to give us a little preview as to what we can expect:



Wow, it just got a little dusty in here. We swear it must be allergies.

True Story.

Incredible

No words.

True Vacation

Hey everybody,

Due to our coincidental graduation from higher educational institutions, we have been missing in action for a while. There is a lot to catch up on, as always. So you know what this means: lots of random videos!

First check out this video of former Sox GM Dan Duquette. Lou Merloni, former Boston player and current Boston radio personality, blew the PED talks wide open with this interesting accusation. Watch the interview, as The Duke provides his insight and unintentional comedy that is off the charts (especially given his hatred of Roger Clemens). Throw in the fact that one of us worked at his Hinsdale, MA camp he is shamelessly promoting at the end, and you have one fine video clip.




For those of you who like(d) Conan O'Brien, here is one of our favorite segments from his old show in conjunction with his debut this week on the Tonight Show. Want more? Here is a great compilation of his "best of".



In other news, True Story favorite (and icon poster child) Chris Bosh, aka CB4, just got inked with Time Warner for a CD/DVD release due this fall. Link that with him becoming the first athlete in the world to have his own iPhone App and you can say that he is making us very proud. Please watch as he does Toronto's weather better than anyone we have seen in recent memory:



Finally, some (Un?)necessary rap. Fabolous is back on the scene with "Throw It In the Bag" and the absurdity below. We don't even need to explain, you get the point by now.

What a Business School Graduate Thinks His First Day of Work Will Be Like

(Thanks to Drew Kipe for taking some time away from the 2010 NFL Draft research to find us this great College Humor post that is fitting for this month. Congratulations Class of 2009)

What a Business School Graduate Thinks His First Day of Work Will Be Like

by Nick Griffith on 6 days ago


CEO: Good morning everybody, let's get started. On to the only and most important order of business, introducing our new employee, James.

Everyone in the boardroom starts applauding.

CEO: James graduated from State University where he had a 2.45 GPA.

Oohs and Ahhs fill the boardroom along with whispers.

CEO: We'll be getting him started immediately on our most important and vital projects.

More applause.

Veronica: Hello James, I'm your personal secretary. If you need anything, and I mean anything, don't be shy. Did I mention how cute I think you are?

CEO: That reminds me, here is your company credit card to use for lunches, dinners, and entertaining clients and/or Veronica at the bars.

Veronica: Ooh that sounds fun! Whoops, I dropped my pen, let me bend down to grab it.

CEO: Now James, I want you to know that my door is always open and I would love to discuss any ideas that you have at any time. Do not feel obligated to discuss anything with your direct supervisor as I know you are just as qualified as he is even though you just started and he has worked here for 12 years.

Veronica: Wow that took me a long time to pick up that pen, I hope my skirt didn't ride up too high while I was bending over. Would you like me to show you to your private office now? It should be ready, I think they just finished installing the flat screen TV.


CEO: In a minute Veronica, first I want to see if anybody has any questions for James before we get him started.

Johnson: Yeah I got a question for the hot shot. How would you improve profitability for the third quarter in our foreign markets?

James: Um... I suppose the best way would be to increase sales and decrease expenses.

Smith: Brilliant! Why didn't we think of that?

Brown: A true visionary!

Veronica: Ooh handsome and a genius.

CEO: I knew I made the right decision by hiring you and paying you twice what you were asking.

Smith: Looks like someone's gunning for your job, Johnson.

Johnson: But I'm the Vice President of International Marketing. I've worked here for 32 years. You can't tell me that this young punk thinks he's going to have my job.

CEO: Actually now that I think of it, that's what we're going to do. James is promoted to VP of International Marketing. Johnson, you're fired. Clear out your desk.

Everyone applauds. Veronica takes off her blouse.

Johnson: You can't be serious!

CEO: On second thought, don't clear out your desk. We'll just give all that stuff to James, including your personal items.

Johnson: But I'm getting ready to leave for the Conference in Paris. I've already got plane tickets.

CEO: Well now you're not. James, you will be going. We'll buy you tickets immediately. On second thought, why don't you just take the corporate jet? And take Veronica with you. You might get lonely as the Conference is two weeks long.

Veronica: Ooh fun! Whoops I dropped my pen again.

(Probably not a True Story.)

What's In the Fridge?

(Editor's Note: Whatever is in that fridge, it must be skunked. Damn it has been a while.)

-Yeah, so what? I’ve been busy…drinkin’ had to take a backseat while I was working on another “bad habit” of mine. But don’t call it a comeback, both Narragansett and I have been here for years.

What more can be said about a beer that comes at you in a 16oz can? When most beers CHOOSE to be served via aluminum, they go beyond the 12oz mark of mediocrity and enter a realm of greatness. But what else makes Narragansett great? Is it that it comes from a Rhode that is not a road, nor an island? (It’s not even brewed in Rhode Island!) Is it the fact that even the biggest beer snobs will acknowledge its place in the pantheon of beer? Or is it the seven bucks for a sixer?

None of the above ladies and gentlemen. Quite simply, it’s just a beer. It’s a beer that tastes like a freakin’ beer. Do you remember when you were a kid and your role at a family party was to serve as a beer wench? Do you remember what you did with the empties? Yeah you do…you turned into a wet/dry vac and tried to suck back whatever alcoholic residue you could (what’s that thing on Uncle Barney’s lip?). Now, remember what that beer tasted like? Like warm piss. You SWORE you’d never drink beer because of the “taste”.



So, when you finally got to high school, and all you could find were your Dad’s three warm cans of Miller Lite, you did what every other red-blooded dopey teenager would do…you chugged. After the first, you thought you would heave because of the memory of Uncle Barney’s warm beer (not to mention that thing on his lip). But you wanted to get “messed-up”, so down went beer number 2…not so bad…and the third beer you actually liked.

You liked it, BECAUSE IT WAS BEER!!! As with any new food, we all need time to adjust. As a father, I can tell you that even doctors say to feed your kids new food over and over again, even if they don’t like it at first. But after time, the palate adjusts.

Narragansett is a beer that tastes like beer. Not a hoppy beer, not a strong beer, not a fruity beer. It’s a beer that reminds you of times when your biggest concern was whether or not you were going to see boob.

So to all of you, entering this brave new world of ours fresh out of college, enjoy the last few moments of irresponsibility. Enjoy a Narragansett! Enjoy the boobs! (Just watch out for where Uncle Barney has been…)

True Story

Wow, where did we go?

Sorry to everyone who has been arriving at our site and has seen April at the top of the page for the last week and a half. Jesus, we need to step up our game here. To those of you loyal readers, we're sure you know almost every word to that new Red and Meth joint. A few things to catch up on now that we have a pulse again:

-What Manny? Enough has been said already, as blogs and television have given us every possible perspective. We are not going to give you another weird blog opinion on this, other than, J Bay Bay!

-I-Biz has been up to no good as well, sending us this gem for all of you to enjoy:



A good precursor to this. Where's Uncle Phil when you need him?

-College Humor has been busy while we were gone too. This is UNbelievable, as the 25 things had been making us uncomfortable for a while now. Don't get us wrong, however, we are addicted to that goddamn website as well. Adding to the greatness of this video, its about time we saw a good parody song of Radiohead fan Miley Cyrus:

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

-Want some (Un?)necessary rap that you missed this past Wednesday? We got some for you, NBA Playoffs edition. People realize Ron Artest is a) out of his mind and b) a great basketball player. So, while him and Kobe battle on the court throughout the Lakers-Rockets series, do you realize this is also a battle between two great rap stars?



Take it all in. Please.

-Finally, things are as crazy as ever in the real world. We feel like this is an accurate summary of the current influenza outbreak that is scaring the hell out of everyone. Not suitable for work/minors/lack of humor/lack of Winnie the Pooh knowledge:




Don't call it a comeback, we've been here for months.
