Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

QBs went early in your draft… with only 8 teams in our league, there were enough decent ones to go around so they didn't start going until the 4th round or so.

14 team league….that's only half the draft board!

Homer Green Bay fan…he actually wore a GB Favre jersey with a huge X through it.  Awesome.

Hey: just outta nowhere – what would you guys' (and gals') set the over/under at for Lions' victories this season? I'm going with 4.

It's 4.5 in Vegas, so you're going with the under huh?  Sounds about right.  They have a chance against the Rams, Browns, Bengals maybe Seahawks or Bears if they're already in the playoffs in week 17.  Figuring they don't win all of those and maybe catch someone sleeping, the under is not a bad bet.

Smackie spent the weekend in Vegas for a couple 21 year olds birthday parties, and while their sorority sisters are nice, it was the Miss America Pageant that really made my weekend.  Miss Missouri (who couldn't have been sweeter) was robbed.

 

Remember that brilliant Vegas trip I told you about (see above).  Guess who the skinnier, younger smarter new Jessica is?

Ladies and Gentleman, Tony Romo's new GF is smackies sloppy seconds.

One of the many reasons why I read The Economist cover to cover….they leave no stone unturned.

Alright, I make no bones about the fact that this is completely ego driven, but rather than starting a new topic nearly everyday, I will now post "Things Smackie Thinks You Need To Know" in this thread.  The range will be as diverse as Smackie - politics to porn, sports to celeb gossip.  Ignore it if you like, enjoy it if you will.

OBSCENE LOSSES
by Claire Hoffman 
November 2007 Issue

DVD sales are in free fall. Audiences are flocking to pornographic knockoffs of YouTube, especially a secretive site called YouPorn. And the amateurs are taking over. Whatâ??s happening to the adult-entertainment industry is exactly whatâ??s happening to its Hollywood counterpartâ??only worse.

On Friday, May 18, Steve Hirsch, founder of Vivid Entertainment Group, the worldâ??s largest producer of adult videos, was expecting a mysterious visitor. But Stephen Paul Jones was late. When Jones, an unknown figure in the pornography world, finally arrived in the all-white reception area of Vividâ??s Los Angeles offices at 2 p.m., he was apologetic. His private plane had broken down, he explained, and he was forced to fly commercial. Hirsch, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, found that excuse a little slick. But he was eager to speak with Jones, so he let it slide and introduced him to two Vivid colleagues. When the four men sat down in the companyâ??s conference room, Jones got right to the point: He wanted Vivid to buy his website, YouPorn.com.

More fascinating details about why the porn industry is now afraid of the internet rather than embracing it like they once were...

i think you can retire this thread now.  time to move on to newer, fresher pastures.

Season Premiere of Gossip Girl tonight….

I just let out a woohoo in my office!  I'm sharing this with Smackette and putting her on notice….

Julians use of "Spotted" in his Richmond thread reminded me of something that I just can't get over now, and I'm not sure who's more at fault.  It really bothers me when I watch Gossip Girl now.

So Twitter started in 2006, reaching real popularity (or its "Tippiing Point" to steal from MG and wiki) in March of 2007 at SXSW.

Gossip Girl first aired in Sept 2007 and used text messaging to send messages in a twitter style.

How did the writers of Gossip Girl not use Twitter as the vehicle to be hip, or conversely, how, after the pilot was out, did the Twitter folks not try to capitilize on Gossip Girl's popularity?  That's a marketers dream come true.

We haven't heard from GG this season so far, but if they don't use Twitter this season I'm likely to throw something across the room.  This is unacceptable.

Without a doubt, this has the potential to be my new favorite show:

Fly Girls

The CW Joins Forces with Virgin America for Series Following the Lives "five beautiful Jet Setting Virgin America flight attendants."

Yep.  A guaranteed Smackie Approved show before it even hits the air waves….

interesting.  this show seems to harken back to a by-gone era, and/or plays on people's stereotypes: based on acquaintances in the industry, the life of a flight attendant isn't that glamorous.

great product placement, branson (or whoever came up with this) is a genius.

where exactly are they going to fit the cameras?  will a camera-man, cable guy and mic operator all follow these attendants around as they work?  the aisle on an airplane are crowded enough as it is!

Mad Men indicates to me that all flight attendants turn up having their coitus with Don Draper interrupted by a fire alarm. If the show follows that path, hello, Dolly!

Even I get a little giddy thinking about coitus with Drapper.  Grrrrrowl!
