BP: Have a Nice Doomsday

Howdy folks and kin,

We're still a few weeks away NFL football season, and I sure hope we make it till then! Y'all wanna know why I say that? On account of all sorts of what not I've been readin' about here on the internet what's got me as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs.

I mean, folks we got us some earthquakes in Maryland of all places, and if y'all don't think that thar's got nothin' to do with that thar BP (redcoats!) oil spill foolishness in the Gulf, then y'all are one can short of a six-pack! Now I don't like to be no doomsday sayer, but I think some of them worrisome worried folks might have an idea or two, and maybe we oughtsta give them a listen.

So today, I aim to learn y'all somethin' what I know lots about, and that thar is methane gas. I suspect from the smell of things in some parts, some of y'all know somethin' about this, too. Know what I mean? I think y'all do! I'm also gonna talk about what's called "Ryskin's methane extinction theory". That thar is Ryskin, with an "R", not pigskin, with a "P".

Now, this ole Jugmonger ain't no conspiracy monger, but I hear that some scientist fellers were able to sneak out some research results from under the honkers of them BP red coated James Bond types what must surely be clampin' down on this news better than they done clamped down on that thar gushin' oil!

It seems that them BP redcoats drilled down so many miles into a geologically unstable region that they may have uncorked the release of a mega methane-bubble. I'm not talkin' about no can of baked beans variety of methane-bubble or even or pasture full of cow methane-bubbles. I'm talkin' some gas passin' so deadly, it will wipe us off this planet fer good!

Now folks, there is some science behind this and a bit of history, as well. It seems that like 250 million years ago a similar methane-bubble stunk up the outhouse but good, if y'all pardon the expression. This wasn't no ordinary passin' gas in the bathtub kind of bubble. No sir, this was a killer! That methane bubble rose from the ocean floor, and when it broke the surface it took out like more than 95% of all life on the planet! If ya don't believe me, then look up what's called the "Permian Extinction" event. They should've spelled it the X-STINK-TION, if y'all ask me, but I ain't no lingualist.

But I tell y'all what, that wasn't the only event of that stinky nature. 55 million years later, the ocean laid another stink bomb what caused more mass extinctions. That thar was called the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM). That maximum stinker lasted 100,000 years, and brought about all sorts of global warmin' and what not.

Now folks, guess where them killer fart bubbles burst from? If ya'll said the Persian Gulf, y'all would be wrong. But, if ya'll answered the Gulf of Mexico, then y'all would be right! If y'all are that smart then y'all don't need no rocket scientists to put one 1 and 1 together to tell us we may be in a heap of stinky touble: the fartin' bubble, bubble, toil and trouble kind of trouble! More trouble than all them cows collected together might cause.

Now I mentioned them earthquakes near them Baltimore Ravens home. Well trust me, them earth shakers ain't got nothin' to do with them Raven's quarterback corps, least of all former Miami Dolphins quarterback John Beck! Nope. What they might got to do with is a rise in the seafloor causin' large vents what might let that mega-methane bubble slip! Now whether it happen's on this side or that side of Florida, it still means the same thing: my outhouse is gonna smell a lot rosier than them great outdoors!

So folks, I want y'all to check out this link and let me know what y'all stink ... I mean think. http://www.helium.com/items/1882339-doomsday-how-bp-gulf-disaster-may-have-triggered-a-world-killing-event

In the meantime, I'm gonna sit in my outhouse and practice holdin' my nose. I suggest y'all do the same. In the worst case scenario though, I'm gonna get on down to the Pigly Wiggly and get me some cans of them BBQ baked beans. Heck, I reckon if ya can't lick 'em, you may as well join 'em!

All the best,

LeBron James: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

Howdy folks and kin,

Thar's still a few more weeks to go before NFL training camp gets goin' fer most teams, and life gets back to normal. In the meantime, we all still gotsta put up with them other sports and the news of the day. Thar's no end to news and in many ways thar's no end to them sports. Combine the two and we got us some sports news, just like that! And, today, thar ain't no bigger story than thar thar decision what LeBron James has to make.

Yes, as I'm writing this, the world is waitin' and chewin' the fat over them NBA basketball boy's free agency goin'-ons. Everyone is sittin' aroung makin' bets on where all-star LeBron James, what last year played fer them Cleveland Cavaliers, is a gonna end up. The media is makin' the most of his decision and I hear that ESPN has made a decision that they is a gonna cover his decision by organizing a 60-minute special called ... "the decision". Heck, I make lots of decisions every day, but no one has ever made a TV special about them!

Now, I can understand why LeBron wants to leave Cleveland, and it ain't got nothin to do with basketball! I reckon he wants to get as far from them Cleveland Browns (NFL) what were 5 and 11 last year, and played in more than a few "stinker bowls", if y'all know what I mean and I think y'all do. They managed to win them the last 4 games, but if y'all do the math, and I did, that means that fer most of the season they was 1 and 11. That performanace smells worse than July 4th potato salad what someone left out in the sun and found a few weeks later.

In Miami, where I hail from, they still got them that thar Dwayne Wade and a new youngin' Chris Bosh to heat up them courts. They is a hopin' that their pal LeBron is a gonna join them. I reckon they want to make them a regular NBA power house. At least that's how the logic goes. But I reckon, thar's a bit more to this here story. So I'm gonna entertain y'all with some of my ideas. Here goes:

1) Joinin' the Miami Heat makers sense because Lebron, Dawyne and Chris will form a different kind of a powerhouse - a party powerhouse! They might be a hopin' they'll be able to get together quicker and party it up a might better in them South Beach clubs. The way I see it, it's important for folks to have a life away from their work. So that's just one reason why LeBron goin' to Miami makes sense.

2) Miami ain't got none of that thar BP (Red Coats!) oil a washin' up on it's shores yet, like they got over thar in Pensacola. Goin' to the beach is always a factor in any decision makin'.

3) Another reason goin' to Miami makes sense is that LeBron might want to take a walk at thar thar Orange Carpet what they layout fer them celebrities what go to see them Miami Dolphin's games. The Orange Carpet gets a rolled out over at Joe Robbie Stadium ... uh ... I mean Sun Life Stadium, formerly Pro Player Park, formerly Pro Player Stadium, formerly Dolphin Stadium, formerly Dolphins Stadium, and formerly and most recently, Land Shark Stadium. That stadium changes names more often than some folks I know change their drawers!

It's a big stadium though, much bigger than what used to have. You see, in them old days, before baseball, hockey and basketball came to Miami, we just had us the Orange Bowl, what was long on character and history, but short on bathrooms. It didn't even have 1 outhouse, not even the modern kind! Sun Life Stadium has got plenty of bathrooms. It's also got a Papa John's Pizza there. So maybe that's just a couple more reasons, why LeBron James might end up playin' fer the Miami Heat.

Here are some of the names of folks what walked down that thar Orange Carpet: Jennifer Lopez, Fergie (not the British one), Serena and Venus William, Gloria Estefan, Don Shula, Marc Anthony, Robin Givens, T-Pain, Judd Jugmonger, etc. Aw heck folks, I'm just joshin'; you know did never did walk down no orange carpet, 'cept fer the one I got laid out in my outhouse!

6) In Miami, come New Year's Day, we got us the King Orange Jamboree Parade (a.k.a. the Orange Bowl Parade). Maybe Lebron wants to march in it with Obie, the King Orange.

5) Now most folks know that LeBron is an Ohio boy, and that's where his heart is, even though them Cleveland Brown is surely makin' that diffcult. But stayin' in Ohio and not winin' a title ain't good for his "brand". Y'all know what is a "brand" is folks? That's what really makes them sports players lots of money, sellin' their name like Gucci, Pierre Cardin, Col. Sanders and them others. Now LeBron James has got himself some good records and the respect of his peers and fans, but that boy needs an NBA Title and he needs him one quick! So goin' to Miami makes sense fer a while. He can always go back to Ohio a bit later to retire, title in one hand and cash in the other.

6) Speakin' of cash, I heard that LeBron might be walkin away from about 30 million "contract" dollars if he comes to Miami. That thar is a lot money what can I buy a few Telecasters! On the other hand, in Florida, we ain't got no state Income Tax, so that has to figure some in the decision pot. Just another reason why comin' to Miami is startin' to look good.

7) During the NFL season, I got me a podcast what I give my prognostications on who's a gonna win what games and what not. I got me a little pigskin what I spin sometimes when there's good matchup of teams. Well, I spun me my little pigskin and it pointed to them Heat over them Clippers, Bulls and Cavaliers. So that's that. It's time fer LeBron to get off that that decision pot.

So there y'all have it folks, them is my reasons why LeBron James will end up playin' for them Miami Heat. If I'm right, and them Miami Heat end up with a powerhouse, lots of y'all might end up winnin' big time with some bets. When y'all do, don't ferget me, the one made it all happen!

All the best,
