DAILY DOSE: "Now I Only Hit Chicks That Win Beauty Pagents."
Greetings, everyone, and welcome back to the Kingdom-- hope everyone's weekend was exceedingly fantastic. Mine was, by all accounts, exceedingly restful, which is good-- I'm going to need it. Things are heating up at school as we make a final push towards the end of the semester, and I'm also looking at the MPRE some four days away.
What's the MPRE? all you non-lawyers ask. Well, it's the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam. Basically, the lawyer ethics test we all have to take in order to eventually be admitted to the bar. Ethics is fun!
So, obivoulsy, with a lot of last-minute preparation to do this week, there's not going to be a lot of Blog time, so please forgive me in advance, as I apologize in advance. I know i've not been keeping up with anything other than the ol' Daily Dose (which is the easiest thing to actually write) but I'm doing my best, dammit!
Anywho, since I've got to get back to work, here's your Link of the Day, as provided by Marc:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/11/03/people.lil.kim.ap/
I know MOST of you probably expected me to link to one of a half-dozen Stiller links on ESPN.com. But really, they're there if you want them, right on the front page. Otherwise, I refuse to jinx this team, other than the occasional, "WHY NOT US!!" (Someone out there remind me to write about my Pittsburgh/Robin Hood Prince of Theives quote tomorrow.)
Anyway(s), if Nate's out there (he teaches at 'Cuse) maybe he can help us understand how Hip-Hop is on its way to becoming a major. Now, I'm one of those people who considers rap/hip-hop one of the only truly American art forms (along with Jazz and the Comic Book), but don't you think it's a little early for introspective college courses. I mean, how can we really know about the social-economic effect of the lyrics of "the Jump Off" without some historical perspective?
Although, I would love a chance to critique, for a letter grade no less, the following passage:
Want to bumble with the Bee, huh?
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Throw a Hex on the whole family.
I'm dressed in all black like 'The Omen'
Give it to 'em rude yellin', 'This is for my homies!'
And you know me...
...
floss in my six with a 'lex on my wrist.
if it's murder, you know she wrote it.
Sad that I know that off the top of my head, no?
I mean, seriously, Lil' Kim? What about actual dead rap pioneers (There are plenty) Like B.I.G., Tupac, Vanilla Ice, etc... (Uram, please chime in on this-- you're the resident white-guy who likes hip-hop).
In the spirit of the Link, I present to you the Song of the Day, from 1998, Puff Daddy and the Family's Rock Remix of "It's All About the Benjamins," another in a long line of guilty pleasures. I know it doesn't actually count as rap/hip-hop, but that's where you can find the aforementioned Lil' Kim rhyme. Knock yourselves out.
If that's not your style, try out "I'm gonna make you love me" by the Jayhawks, which oddly enough was stuck in my head when I woke this morning, though I've not listened to it in quite some time. The brain is tricky...it's tricky.tricky.tricky.
Okay, time to bring home the bacon, and also figure out how to cross-examine a medical expert.
In the meantime, just chill...
..till the next episode.

Many topics to discuss...
First off, any lady who has a pic of Boba Fett on the skiff above the Pit of Carkoon as her website background is automatically interesting in my book. So yes, I've been periodically visiting Jeanie's site ever since she provided a link to it in one of her comments to you a while back. What I wanted to ask you in Boston was not "Who is this Jeanie chick?", but rather "Is she hot?" Alas, with Amy by my side all weekend, I didn't feel it appropriate to ask that question. (Jeanie - if you happen to read this, were I single, know that I'd be stalking the hell out of you, despite the fact that I can't decide whether your potentially the coolest chick on the planet, or crazy schizophrenic. And yes, this conundrum does keep me up at night.) Regardless, your female insight has been a welcome addition, specifically regarding the rules section. I CAN'T WAIT to hear your comments on what I have to say. Speaking of, Knor, Banner and I need to formulate our guest column. Perhaps we'll do that this weekend. Drop me a line - cmstaub78@yahoo.com - to discuss this.
Second, the Ep. III trailer. I know you talked about it briefly on Jeanie's site, but it deserves a full review here. I'd love to contribute, if not write the whole thing myself. Thoughts?
Third, the Steelers. I know you've said that to discuss them is disastrous, but you gotta give some more pub. They physically dismantled the Eagles on sunday, although the birds were certainly ripe for the picking after their recent performances. Let's face it, no team in the NFL will EVER go undefeated again. I gotta say though, I'd love to know the outcome of the last two games had they been on the road. And yes Steeler diehards, a rookie QB on the road acts markedly different than at home. But I could go on forever here.
Fourth, the Nits have won me a bet made in preseason where I wagered that they wouldn't go .500. Thanks JoePa, I'll toast that case of Bass to you.
Fifth, make sure you mention in your Boston recount that Banner forgot his keys and had to leave his car stranded in Wilkes-Barre. I haven't shit-housed him enough for it.
Sixth, I wish I could pledge Mary Lou again and force him to stop smoking weed.
