False Facts of a Monkey Movie

Nearly every high school and college teacher tells their students not to rely on Wikipedia.

"Use it as a guide, not as a final source", they say.

"Anyone can update it," they preach.

"It might not be right," they warn.

Most never see an erroneous Wiki entry as even the slightest error is usually quickly corrected by magical wiki elves that live in Maine and spend all their time monitoring the vast expanse of the Wiki Kingdom. They are a diligent group who hardly ever let anything slip past, lest they be beaten by their Illuminati overlords.

Back in December 2012, however, I found the above pic.

Days later, it was deleted.

This couldn't be true, could it? One of the most highly acclaimed sports heroes of the 2000s wasn't actually on steroids, was he?

My favorite albums of 2006

Here is a schizophrenic scatological smattering of semi-conscious ponderings. In other words, my favorite tunes of 2006. Enjoy.


My top 11 CD releases of 2006:

11) Black Stone Cherry - Black Stone Cherry: Think a hard-rock 70's throwback band with a Ronnie Van Sant wanna-be on vocals. Listeners must like Zakk Wylde, Skynyrd, and long walks on the beach.

10) Audioslave - Revelations: I definitely thought this CD was better than Audioslave's second release. It seems like these guys are pumping out songs like they were mass produced by 8-year old sweatshop workers. Wait, Tom Morello might disapprove of that.

9) Method Man - 4:21... The Day After: A little older, a little more mature sounding Method Man bringing the southpaw style with guests Ol' Dirty Bastard, Lauren Hill, and Redman.

8) Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam: After a disappointing Riot Act, I was pleasantly enamored with this album. Good to see Pearl Jam back again.

7) Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Colorblind: Real good funk, jazz, gospel, rock thing going on. And Robert Randolph is a big Mets fan.

6) Buckcherry - 15: I never figured out why they called it 15. There are only 11 songs. Although they do kick ass like 15 songs of your average white band.

5) Jurassic 5 - Feedback: There is not a bad song on this CD, even the one with Dave Matthews is good. As a bonus they quote some old school, pre-"Are We There Yet?" Ice Cube.

4) Drive-By Truckers - A Blessing and a Curse: Some good ol' southern rock. Everybody seemed to have this on their "best of" list. Screw it, I liked it anyway.

3) Public Enemy f/ Paris - Rebirth of a Nation: Nothing better than militant political rap by two of the genre's best: Paris and Chuck D. Even Flavor Flav cameos with some old school, pre-Flavor of Love rhymes.

2) Cowboys from Hell and David Allen Coe - Rebel Meets Rebel: Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul, and Rex Brown formerly of Pantera join forces with country outlaw legend David Allen Coe in what was Dimebag's last recording. A kick-ass one at that. RIP Dime.

1) The Coup - Pick a Bigger Weapon: Think Public Enemy mixed with heaping servings of Parliament-Funkadelic and you have The Coup. Socialist, communist, militant, anarchist, whatever ... with songs like "Laugh, Love, F*** (and drink liquor)", how can you go wrong?
