Winning combinations and you

MasterChugs Theater will be back next week while Chugs bring you a special SG exclusive expose.

In the Book of Revelations,it’s mentioned that the first beast will rise from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. For years, centuries even, many thought that this beast represented Imperial Rome. I now feel that it’s safe to say that they were wrong in their identifications. The beast does not have seven heads and ten horns, but twelve points. Not only that, the beast is not Imperial Rome, as speculated, but a concept: inclusion.

The beast is here, and corporate America would like it to swallow your soul. Continue reading Winning combinations and you

‘Moose’ demonstrates fundamentals of racism

When it comes to racism, this site has always held the opinion that, while the pain inflicted by it is wrong, the participants of it are hilarious. For every racist that proposes a racist idea or commits a racist act, two things always happen:

  1. The racist says that they do not hate “people of color,” “the blacks,” “Chinamen,” etc.
  2. The racist jumps through logical hoops to explain how their moment of racism was not racially motivated.

The story of Don “Moose” Lewis and his attempts to create the All-American Basketball Association has both elements in spades.

Like Martin Luther King, “Moose” also has a dream: to create a basketball league that focuses on “fundamentals” instead of “street ball,” to get rid of players “flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their [crotches]” and–most importantly–to make sure players are all “natural-born United State citizens with both parents of Caucasian race [to be] eligible to play in the league.”

Surely it’s not racist if your solution to one gun incident and the playing-style, look and language is to not allow any non-full blooded white people into your league, right? He’s just saying that the actions of two black NBA players proves in his mind that all non-white players are the problem and certainly not “All-American” material.

Wait, that is racism? Like the very definition, only “Moose” lacks the balls (heh) to actually say what’s on his mind?

Well, that sucks. We were looking forward to a slowed-down version of the game minus talented players, ball-handling ability, slam dunks and recognizable teams. Basically, we kind of hoped they got their chance to compete at a retard level.

Whoops! We had live ordinance displayed outside the bar for years!

You know those VFW halls that have an old tank or something outside to make people feel like they’re headed back into the war, so they should go inside and drink a lot? Apparently that works for just about everyone in Alaska.

For years, a bomb from the World War II era sat outside a bar in Kodiak, Alaska. It probably served as a reminder that people were going to the bar to get bombed themselves. However, it turned out that the “dud” was not actually a dud. In fact, it was an active bomb.

The bomb was blown up by soldiers because of safety concerns. But think about it, how cool would it be to sit in a bar, drinking and carrying on, only to hear a big explosion outside, then return to drinking and carrying on?
