Eat My Sports: Finals judgement

So I was half right. At the beginning of the season I predicted a NBA Finals matchup of LeBron James and his Cavaliers against the Los Angeles Ron Artests. But with fate turning out to be a New York Knicks or Boston Celtics fan, however you look at it, the most unlikely team emerged from the East to renew over time what is revealing to be the best rivalry in sports.

So it’s predictions time right? After all, my predictions have been awesome since my pick of the Steelers winning Super Bowl XLIII.

Every bone in my body tells me not to pick against the Lakers. They’ve got the better coach, the league’s best closer, homecourt advantage and five different Artest personalities.

Al Gore’s love of metal wins out

Al and Tipper Gore are calling it quits, surprising everyone only two weeks after their fortieth anniversary. While some can’t believe it happened so late in their marriage, most are amazed that they divorced before the Clintons.

In any case, the world has gained a single Al Gore, and–although we rarely get involved–we just can’t help but root the guy on.

So, if you’re single, too, and your sex life could use a human robot, have you considered Al Gore? Here’s what Al brings to the boudoir:

  • Flights on his personal jet to any environmentally-endangered corner of the globe.
  • The dirtiest cybersex in the kinkiest chat room on the Internet that he invented.
  • Willingness to call “recounts” until sex ends in his favor.
  • Slideshows.
  • Leonardo DiCaprio.

Yowch

I mean, really … yowch (link is potentially Not Safe For Work).

Breaking up is hard to do, and teenagers are super emotional (hilariously making them lamer than they can even believe), but nonetheless … yeesh. There are somethings a lad can do to get over being dumped, but to quote a line from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, “he chose poorly.”

Glass half full side: some old and unmarried woman is going to get her wish the next time she tosses a penny down the well.

When they had the idea, they popped a Mentos and smiled

We’re back again. What did you do over the long weekend? Don’t answer that, we can’t hear you anyway. Whatever you did, it was a waste of time. That is, of course, unless you designing a rocket car that runs on Diet Coke and Mentos.

Yes, we have a new transportation energy solution. The good news is that corn syrup people are going to be thrilled, the bad news is it may give your car cavities. Remember the names Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz, if you don’t already, because they will be recorded in history not only as those guys who did the YouTube video will all the Diet Coke and Mentos geysers, but as the men who changed the face of travel as we know it.

And here’s a little present for all of you: the video will be up on YouTube later today.

UPDATE: Here it is.
