Surprise Entries!

In a surprise move, 4 semi-finalists have dropped out of the race! They have stated the following reasons for their departure:

Phil – “What? I don’t get a ring for winning this crap? Forget it.”
Andrew – “I didn’t realize I would actually have to compete against the black people. I thought they had their own bracket.”
Samuel L. – “I ain’t playin’ with no Micheal Jackson! Brother likes touchin’ little boys!”
Jesse – “My contract with Satan prohibits me from carrying any other title. I have some paternity tests to take anyway.”

Alan Jackson and Reggie Jackson have steeped up to the plate to take on the heavily favored Janet and Michael. More to come as it develops.

Highest OfficeEDGE – Andrew

Sorry Stonewall. Maybe if the south would have won you would have been in higher office.

When you are more commonly known by your nickname than your real name, you win.

Tom Fool Jackson, Old Blue Light, oh yeah….and Stonewall

War and DeathEDGE – Stonewall

One of the greatest American military minds ever. And an amputee…that’s hot.

We still see his ugly mug every day on our $20 bill.

WINNER - Andrew Jackson. You had me until I found out you didn’t drink Stoney. Everyone knows a good leader likes to get hammered. Take GWB for example!

R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell

  • Celebrities

“Dimebag” Darrell Abbott (formerly of Pantera) was shot and killed last night while performing on stage with his band Damageplan.

Some guy just hopped on the stage and shot him. Surprisingly, this did not happen in the armpit that is Indiana. It was actually in Columbus, which is more like an armpit with a thin layer of generic deodorant. This guy was a true talent in the heavy metal business, and he will be missed.

The Captain definitely need to be here.

Only 14 votes. Too many people with Captain references. The Bill Gates one is great.
