Dumber things have been done in this day and age (I’m looking at YOU, O.J.) but seriously, turning down a raise of $28,000 beacause it sends “the wrong message.” Well … if you don’t need the money, please make checks payable to Bryan McBournie, Bryan Schools, Rick Snee or Chris Taylor.
Day: June 9, 2008
A most triumphant day
The Guys would like to remind you that today is 6-9-2008.
This has been an SG fun fact.
You took my old idea–give it back!
CBS’s newest show, Swingtown, is no stranger to controversy. Before it even aired for the first time on this past Thursday evening, some people were calling for the heads of the producers due to events taking place in the show that they hadn’t even seen yet not happen! Shocking!
Well, the hits just continue to keep on coming. An angry Swingtown viewer wants to sue CBS, because he used to work at New York City’s sex palace Plato’s Retreat and he totally had an idea for a TV show about swingers, like … 20 years ago.
Personally, I can understand his plight. It’s just like that time I said that it would be cool if dinosaurs still existed and then Jurassic Park ripped me off! I mean, I had been saying that since I was at least 4, and what happens when I’m 9 years old? The movie comes out! That monster!

… Or so that chicken thought!
That’s right: an elusive character in the War on Animals, a chicken, tried to hide out in a McDonald’s. She allegedly chose the fast food franchise as their hideout since they don’t really serve chicken in their nuggets, sandwiches or Fried Chicken McSundaes. However, she wore out her protectors’ patience by interfering in drive-“thru” transactions.
In response to their pleas for help, we’ve nabbed her. She will be held indefinitely until the Colonel conducts her military tribunal.
For those of you playing along at home, we’ve eliminated the Four of Clubs in the War on Animals’ Speak and Spell No Evil Deck of Most Wanted Enemy Combatants (or WoASSNEDMWEC). This card is now a wild card in any deck and, when played, grants the player to pass out 200 drinks to the other players.
The McBournie Minute: On to the general election!
The primaries are now over, finally. Once again, I was right. As I predicted after the Iowa caucus, the two winners there would go on to be the presidential candidates. I predicted the outcome correctly, Barack Obama snagged the Democratic ticket, while Mike Huckabee won it months ago for the Republican (presumed) nomination.
The one thing I was wrong about was that the primaries would be over in a heartbeat. Hey, you can’t get them all, but where else can you turn for such dead-on election analysis? Luckily, I suggested making drinking games out of the process to help pass the time. You are probably thankful you can take a Tuesday night off from blacking out.
