The Pesci Challenge
Yeah yeah yeah. I’m here. Enough whining. Holidays are tough you know. You have to balance all your shit between your family and you mistress. Women man. Unbelievable. Everyone wants a piece of Pesci. Don’t they understand that Thanksgiving is about me making sure I cover all games that day? Now that the NFL shows three games on the last Thursday in November I am extra busy. While Ray is drinking his Thanksgiving meal, some of us are still working.
A quick shout out needs to go to the George defender who appeared on the blog a couple of weeks ago. Glad to see some of you are still fighting to keep the Titanic afloat. Good show. It’s readers like you who help to remind us why we do what we do. We can’t have the Ying without you guys continuing to pull on George’s Yang.
Speaking of work, not much to report on the old Westeros front. The Earl of Dumpling seems to be more interested in teaching all of us newbies what a ‘wrap’ party is than being productive. Thanks for the lesson Professor Hollywood; somebody needs to hit this guy in the head with a ratchet. Hey, thanks for the world tour as well Ponce de Leon, too bad you didn’t find the fountain of youth in Jerusalem, then maybe we would have an outside shot at you finishing this series before you grow insignificant as a fantasy writer. I can see in about 5-6 years when the series is still not done, a destitute George (downtrodden and broke due to a failed donut / fried chicken venture), piss drunk outside of Border’s books telling anyone who will listen how he used to be a big shot back in the day. The king of fantasy, who wanted to be a god, crashed when he flew to close to the sun on wings of pastrami (classic Seinfeld).
It is refreshing to see now that Ahab is back home the shameless plugs for Wild Cards and Suicide Kings continues. (I’m not talking about the Christopher Walken flick Suicide Kings either. Good movie, though.) Giants / Jets; more bullshit. The guy Tivos the games and watches them later, yet again wasting more time. It was good to finally see a picture of Ty. Not what I expected at all. I was looking for a 4 ft 9 Asian kid with giant glasses, not a pot smoking hippie type sitting on what obviously is a giant phallic symbol. Nothing against the ganja, but that could explain the lack of work going on here. Ty now becomes the enabler instead of the savior.
To distract myself from all this negativity I have decided to issue a challenge and I think we should all participate. For myself, I have finished the first Ambercrombie book and the first Acacia book. So for my challenge, I am going to finish the First Law series and the Acacia series and I will pick two more trilogies (maybe Jeff Shaara’s WWII series and one other trilogy) and finish all these books before Dance comes out. All the books must be in paperback as well. Since Acacia is not yet finished, this could be tough. Right now I have purchased the second Ambercrombie book in that series but I will not start it until after Christmas. The gamer side of me also says I should throw in the completion of a couple Xbox games I have been neglecting as of late. Not to mention online play. Plus throw in Christmas, work, and my kids and I am going to be a busy dude. So, I think we should all come up with a few mini challenges to keep us focused on things other than Dance and George’s lack of effort. Maybe one of you can break the world jump rope record. Maybe any of you guys in school can attempt to take a dump in every administration building on campus before Dance comes out. Perhaps Ray could stop masturbating for four days. So I think everyone should come up with a personal challenge and see if you can complete it before Dance comes out. Hey just a little fun while we wait for Dance and for Ray’s much anticipated second wordy piece on fantasy. I’ll try to stay awake this time.
