The Omni – Toledo, OH

THE OWNERS A FUCKING ASSHOLE, DON’T GO THERE AND SUPPORT THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

So I went to see a show there a week ago. I went to seen the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (tickets for the woman, don’t hate). It was a decent show, but this is about the venue. The Omni, formerly Gatorz, formerly a bowling alley is incredibly similar to the previous layout. The bar is still in the center of the floor, but much of the rear is walled off and is now a new “chill-area”.

Anyways, the problem is the owner. The owner is a fucking young (late-20’s, early 30’s) douchebag. So the show starts, and I’m chilling behind the bar enjoy a Gin and Tonic. I like this particular vantage point and I’ve seen a few shows from this spot. There’s no one in front of me, except for a bartender getting me another drink. It’s perfect.
So the headliner comes on, and the owner gets on the bar and stands there…and stands there…and stands there.

Then, he asks a “bouncer” to get up with him. He’s right fucking in front of us. I ask a bartender why the fuck he’s up there. She says that he’s “looking for someone.” WTF mate? Why isn’t he standing at the front on the corner of the stage or something? So, we ask the bartender to deliver a message to him. We didn’t even ask him to get down, all we said was:

Instead of standing in one spot, can you at least move around a little?

The bartender comes back and he says:

Uh…you don’t want me to repeat what he said…

So the fucking dickhead stands there for the rest of the show. I mean, if I owned a business, I would treat my customers decently. He’s lost my fucking business. Hopefully you will take heed and let this fuckface go under.

A Little Political Satire

Supplement Review – NO Shotgun V3

Having been off a pre-workout supp for a while now, I got a sample of NO Shotgun V3 by VPX. Took this 30 min before a Leg workout with a slight headache. I immediately felt a rush of energy, much like downing a bottle of Redline, and my headache went away. I was ready to pound some ass in the gym. My drive to the gym was a little shaky, as Disturbed was blasting in the CD player. I nearly hit about 5 people along the way and almost striking a guy with a scooter. He was about 82 and I’m sure he crapped his pants. So I get to the gym, warm up, and start squats at high reps to get the blood flowing. By my 3rd set, my quads are so pumped that I I ripped the seam on the right leg of my boxers. I thought I deuced in my pants, but no, it was a rip. There has not been any other pre-workout supplement that has given me instant energy or endurance in the gym. I had energy throughout my hour workout much like a hobo going down on a hot dog. Crazy, crazy pump. The double-barrel pump if you will.
I like the upgrade of the amount of protein from 16g to 20g, from V2 to V3, to allow this and ammios to be used throughout the workout.

Taste:I tried black cherry. It tastes like a good version of kaopectate. It is 100x better than the previous NO shotgun.

Mixing: This drink mixed like a wet dream. No foam in this version as you may have seen in the previous versions.

Super dump: No diarrhea with this product. Very surprising.

Smell: Your farts will smell like an atomic number of 16, which is sulfur.

Many magazine reviews have given this a 4 out of 5 star review. I give this a 4.5 pumps out of 5 pumps as I have not finished using the sample yet.

BCS – What a Great System We Have…Seriously

What a way to finish the bowl season. We seen two of the very best football games to close out the season with Texas winning a nail biter in Glendale, and finishing off with a thoroughly interesting national championship game.

Questions are being asked as to whom the national championship should belong to. Is it undefeated Utah, perhaps one-loss Texas or USC who didn’t get a chance to play in the big game. Let me be the first to say that we had the game we needed, and its all thanks to the wonderful BCS system.

First of all, let me abolish any thoughts that Kyle Wittingham’s Utah team deserves anything. Jeff Sagarin has the Mountain West conference ranked just slightly above the MAC; and below the service school filled Independents. Proponents say that they beat four ranked teams. Let’s not forget that their sole victory against a non-conference ranked oppenent was week 1, a 2-point win against Michigan. Their schedule strength puts them in the bottom 40% toughest in the nation. Their other two ranked wins, both in conference games against TCU and BYU.

Sure they played a great game against a Alabama team with nothing left to play for. Get over it, you’re not as good as everyone else. In fact, all-world brain-guy Jeff Sagarin has Utah ranked 10th in his predictor rating, the best rating scale for predicting an actual game. Yes, that’s behind Ohio State. To more important things.

If I flip a coin 3 times, there is a 12.5% chance it will land heads each time. If that happens, does it mean that heads is the most likely results of a coin flip? Of course not, but it happens. The point I’m trying to make is in reference to a possible playoff system.

The NCAA basketball system works for one simple reason: the shear amount of wins needed. In order to win the college basketball championship, a team needs 6 consecutive wins. The chances of flipping a coin heads 6 times in a row? 1.56%, significantly smaller.However, having a six-week football playoff is completely outrageous. People talk about 8 team playoffs, or a +1 system, which is essentially a 4 team playoff. This takes us back to the coin flip.

With such a small playoff, the odds increase that weaker team can upset and win the tournament. Does that mean that they’re better? Do we really think Utah is better than Alabama? Is Texas really only that much better than Ohio State? With the Mountain West and Western Athletic Conferences receiving annual bids to BCS games, we have a situation where at all times a mid-major is only two games away from being crowned the best in the nation. This is scary when we consider the seemingly random upsets that occur during the bowl season. Was Boise State really better than Oklahoma a few years back?

The best solution is to have all the teams play a full schedule and then try and guess who the best teams are. Typically it works well. This year there was controversy because Utah rolled some cupcakes, and there were three teams who all beat each other. However both the subjectivity and objectivity of humans and computers both decided that there are two and only two teams worthy of playing for it all.
