The Rod Roll

Last night while I watched the Detroit Tigers lose in a 12312314 inning game I decided to look for some old Youtube videos for the Tigers announcer, Rod Allen. Specifically I was looking for Rod’s infamous fight when he played in Japan seen here:

^That video is a comedy classic. Rod played over there for a while. He never really made it in the Major Leagues, but he did sniff the field a bit for the 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers. Then he probably sold industrial equipment, or something, and then became the color man (that’s what they call the other announcer in sports who gives analysis, not because he is a black guy…lol) in the Tigers’ announcing booth for Fox Sports Detroit.

While searching for it I saw a couple other funny videos for him, and one with his announcing partner Mario Impemba.

Rod Allen and Mario Impemba

Rod has a bit of a following. He even has his own Drinking Game for some of the things he repeatedly said during games a couple years back. Origin is long lost at this point, and I’m not going to track it down. It was posted on Wiki for about 3 days until it was taken down.

Fun With Amazon Reviews and Three Wolf Moon T-shirt

Just stumbled into this one the other day. While looking into some travel deals for a trip I decided to get some new threads, and now my whole life is a trip. Haven’t really ever written reviews on there before, but this awesome shirt of mystical value has changed my mind about that. Once you see it you will know just why I was drawn to its hypnotic powers. Also, why I have so much booty that someone else is typing this while I dictate it to them ;) .

The Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt may be the greatest source of life changing goodness you will ever find.

Just look what our good friend B Dot Govern has to say about this incredible universe shattering design:

5.0 out of 5 stars Dual Function Design, November 10, 2008
By B. Govern “Bee-Dot-Govern” (New Jersey, USA

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.

Just amazing. Don’t forget to click the link to the actual product. The comments on this review are awesome, but many have followed suit and shared their experiences about the epic t-shirt known as Three Wolf Moon.

Crap TV Flashbacks: The Arsenio Hall Show

Arsenioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hall!

Yeah…that was how he was introduced every night for his Fox late night talk show. Obnoxious, and ridiculous.

Arsenio Hall was basically considered Eddie Murphy’s best friend back int he day. He started to show up in movies with Eddie and took his piggybacking to television with a nightly show where the crowd would pump their fists in a circular motion and chant “woof woof woof” like idiots. Fat people that never saw treadmills in their lives were the main fixture.

The show was quite popular actually, and was one of the first appearances by a presidential candidate in a less serious forum.

Then presidential candidate Bill Clinton was a guest on the show in June 1992, playing “Heartbreak Hotel” on the saxophone (causing Arsenio to quip, “It’s nice to see a Democrat blow something besides the election”). The appearance is often considered an important moment in Clinton’s political career, helping build his popularity among minority and young voters; Clinton went on to win the election in November 1992.

Only movie I really remember with him in it that I liked was like “Coming to America” with Eddie Murphy being some prince from some out of the way country. Hilarity ensued.
