Popping tags and performing "Thrift Shop" at karaoke. Note the big ass coat and the Velcros. They call me Pimpi Longstocking.

No one should ever have to apologize for being offensive.

Looking back 29 years later, what I should have done, instead of being forced against my will to write the apology demanded from me by that asshole for the song we recorded, is tell the authorities involved that I was offended by his demanding an apology from me for offending him, and that I demanded an apology from him for offending me by demanding an apology from me for offending him. (Never mind demanding an apology to me and everyone who heard his racist comment that made us want to record the song in the first place.) PS: If you can't even spell 'apology', you shouldn't ever be demanding one!

Some people just don't get it, do they? And they NEVER WILL.

You simply CANNOT outright lie to someone and insult them, to their face, LITERALLY, TO THEIR FACE, and expect them to ever trust you or want to maintain and already-accelerating-downhill friendship with you. Especially when you are so utterly STUPID, even more so than in your entire endless history of blatant examples of stupidity, that it never once occurs to you that, when you lie to someone and insult them ON YOUR LIVE WEBCAM, THEY JUST MIGHT BE WATCHING!

POD BOWL 0 CHAMPION:
Ardent Atheist With Emery Emery


Now, from the top...

Okay, so the final match of Pod Bowl 2011 just ended, but I'm going to consider it a trial run. Let's just call it "Pod Bowl 0".

The main bug of the format was that some of the favorites failed to post a weekly episode, so they got bounced. The best fix I can come up with is to make each round a best-of-3. So today we begin collecting episodes dated Sep 5-11 for the first third of the first round. The field will again be 32, and the whole tournament will take place over the next 15 weeks. (Why do I do this to myself?)

Yeah, I know...look, Mr. C's been busy trying to keep up with baseball, and I've been busy trying to keep the bills paid. Deal with it.

POD BOWL 2011

Now that I've long-ago given up on ALF Cup competition, since ALF is clearly my undisputed all-time TV ratings champ, and now that radio is officially dead and buried and decomposed, and now that I have two jobs during which I can listen to the dozens of podcasts I subscribe to, it's time to begin a new tradition.

Starting this month, and repeating every August for the foreseeable future, I will be conducting an annual podcast tournament to determine a yearly "Pod Almighty", if you will. Each year, 32 podcasts will qualify for a 5-week bracket tournament starting 5 weeks before Labor Day.

This year, podcast episodes dated August 1-7 have been saved up and are squaring off during the week of August 8-14, while podcasts dated that week will compete the following week, and so on, until the final which will be held on Labor Day.

The bracket was filled out using a system which, frankly, I won't bore you with. Here are the first-round matchups, from top-to-bottom:

2011 POD BOWL--FIRST ROUND
Jordan Jesse Go vs The Rachel Maddow Show
Hypothetical Help vs This Week With Larry Miller
Fitzdog Radio vs Distorted View Daily
SnydeRemarksRadio vs The Twin Peaks Podcast
Never Not Funny vs Countdown With Keith Olbermann
The Joe Rogan Experience vs How Did This Get Made
Comedy Bang Bang vs The Apple Sisters
Comedy Film Nerds vs Mike And Tom Eat Snacks
Paul And Storm vs Todd N Tyler
The Gentlemen's Club vs Doug Loves Movies
StarTalk vs Affirmation Nation
The Bugle vs WTF With Marc Maron
Breaking Bad Insider vs STFU Show
The Nerdist vs The Smartest Man In The World
Legacy Of Laughs vs CBC Radio 3 Track Of The Day
Risk vs Ardent Atheist


Analysis:
Expect Maddow to beat JJ Go, and Miller to get a virtual bye vs the absent Hypo Help. DV Daily should have no problem with Fitzdog, and SnydeRemarks might also get a virtual bye vs absent Twin Peaks (a shame since they were coming up on the reveal ep!)

KO should KO NNF, and Rogan vs HDTGM is almost a tossup, but expect Rogan's long runtime to hurt his chances. Then things get tough, with Earwolf stablemates CBB and the Apples going head-to-head (bet on the Sisters unless CBB bags a top-notch guest). And MATES should get by CFN, leading to a potential marquee 2nd-rd match between the Apples and MATES.

In a 2-on-2 match, P&S should bounce TnT. DLM should beat G-Club, and an absent StarTalk will give a bye to Bob Ducca. Look for Bugle to upset WTF, and B-Bad to make STFU, well, STFU.

In what has to be the biggest match of the week, I see Proops over Nerdist in what might be a close one. CBC3 Track Du Jour should knock out LOL, and finally, AA should not be at risk vs Risk.

Now, you might have noticed a glaring omission. Where, you may ask, is Steve Dahl? Well, Dahl was of course the odds-on favorite during the tourney's early planning stages. But it was decided right off the bat that this tournament would be open to FREE PODCASTS ONLY, and unfortunately shortly thereafter Dahl priced himself right out of the whole dance.

Not only that, but in a move similar to your typical beauty pageant, it has also been decided that it will be the duty of the winning podcast to remain free of charge for the following year to retain the title. If the winning podcast is unable to fulfill its duty, the runner-up will assume the title.

And with that, let the carnage begin!

MR. COLOREDWELL'S SPORTS FASHION REPORT

Okay, first let's get caught up with my March notes, of which there were only 2, and both Toronto-based...

Finally got a look at the Maple Leafs in March, and as expected they are fabulous. And the Raptors wore green the day before St Patty's. But they still had that half-belt crap like the Mavs. What a waste.

And then just this afternoon...Ick. The Celtics in green with black trim, including spooge. Ick. It's so bad I had to give a win to Miami. And I hate Miami!

***

Yes, the rumours are true, I've been taking notes on Major League Baseball unis. What am I, goofy?! To be fair, most of the baseball teams are actually dressing quite well. Lots of block numbers and not a speck of spooge. Here's my notes so far...

The Cleveland Indians have some very good throwbacks this year. Creamy goodness!

The Milwaukee Brewers were in throwbacks April 8. How great is their old mitt logo? A classic! So, of course, they ditched

it for their current shitty look.

The Atlanta Braves have a very nice red jersey for Sunday games.

***

Now, a quick review of college basketball unis during March Madness...

Top 9 best-dressed, in alphabetical order:
CLEMSON: Orange with purple trim, lovely colors.
DUKE: No mistakes in white. (Didn't see them in blue.)
GEORGETOWN: The light is grey, follow the path.
MCNEESE STATE: Yellow with blue trim, very cute.
MOREHEAD STATE: Looking good in blue, but they'd make the list on the name alone!
NORTH CAROLINA: Didn't get to see their light blue uni, but it still looks good as trim on white.
OHIO STATE: The light is grey, follow the path.
PURDUE: In gold, priceless.
UCLA: Either in blue or white, with gold trim, Bruins look just as awesome as in football.
All the above had block numbers and no spooge. We have a 3-way tie for 10th with a few problems:
BUTLER: In white their one flaw emerged, a bit of blue spooge on the shorts, which I then noticed was just barely detectable on their black uni.
RICHMOND: The Spideys looked good in blue or white, but in red they had spooge.
WASHINGTON STATE: The light is grey, follow the path. But lose the occasional "COUGS" on the front. It's just dumb.

As for the worst-dressed, ugly number fonts and spooge were rampant, so there were plenty of candidates to choose from. But the one uni that drooped far below the rest was the disgusting droopy-drawers look of...
WOFFORD

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FINAL FOUR FASHION REPORT

Let's get these off my plate while I work on a full report which I hope to post Sunday...

NIT FINAL FOUR:

WASHINGTON STATE (grey) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Both blocks. Wich has spooge. "Cougs" is back...ick. Still, Wash follows the Path.
WINNER: WASHINGTON STATE

COLORADO (grey) VS ALABAMA (red)
Col follows the Path, but with italic blocks and leg crap. Bama looks good in red, no spooge. Non-blocks but they're not

ugly.
WINNER: ALABAMA

NIT FINAL: ALABAMA (white) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Bama's non-blocks beat Wich's spooge.
WINNER: ALABAMA

NCAA FINAL FOUR:
BUTLER (white) VS VCU (black)
Both blocks. Spooge on Butler? Ick! But VCU's is much worse.
WINNER: BUTLER

CONNECTICUT (white) VS KENTUCKY (blue)
Both have side crap. UConn has a bad font, KY has blocks and nice shade of blue.
WINNER: KENTUCKY

NCAA FINAL: CONNECTICUT (white) VS BUTLER (black)
No surprises here. Knew going in Butler's black and blocks would beat UConn's ugly skinny numbers and leg crap.
WINNER: BUTLER

Tuesday, April 05, 2011

Out of respect for the late Roger Abbott, Mr. Coloredwell's next report will be posted later this week. Meanwhile, please enjoy the tribute clips below.

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT

Elite 8...ah, aliteration!

FLORIDA (white) VS BUTLER (black)
Butler: no mistakes. Florida: all mistakes. No contest.
WINNER: BUTLER

CONNECTICUT (white) VS ARIZONA (blue)
No blocks, no spooge. Useless side crap. UConn's numbers are too skinny.
WINNER: ARIZONA

KANSAS (white) VS VCU (black)
Both spooged. At least VCU has blocks.
WINNER: VCU

NORTH CAROLINA (white) VS KENTUCKY (blue)
Both blocks, no spooge. Only real flaw is that rectangle.
WINNER: NORTH CAROLINA

And with that we're down to the Final Four, but before that I'll have my month-ending report covering all sports. All the #1's are gone, and if that's not March Madness I don't know what is. ONE...STEP...BEYOND!!!
