Swordplay

Knight 1: “I shalt verily chop off your noble head.”
Knight 2: “Wrong you are, good Sir, as I will feast upon your horse at supper tonight.”
 
Clubbing

Knight 1: “How doth thee fare today, Bill? How ’bout those Knicks?”
Knight 2: “My wench confesses that you slept in my bed last night! Die, mongrel!”
 
Flagging

Knight 1: “Hey, watch it, uh, I have a flag!”
Knight 2: “Very well, my sword will rend both your flag and gut, Frenchie!”
 
Screw It

Knight 1: “Ho! I propose that instead of murdering each other, we share a barrel of our King’s ale!”
Knight 2: “Righteous thou art, Sir. Drink, drink!”

You may not realize it, but the word “rondo” has a bunch of different meanings. Other than ma boy Rajon, I can’t explain why any of them use the word:

Rajon Rondo - we’d be lost without him.

Rondo chair - I really want this for my room

Rondo products - the Kombi 3k is awesome.

Steve Howe: Guitar Rondo - he sure is!

Rondo music - time to start some indie rondo hype

Last night, I had the good fortune of catching the replay of the BET Awards, which were held back in June . I had high expectations, and I was sorta not disappointed:

Fugees reunion medley. Lauryn Hill’s voice is shot. Not to mention her sense of style.

Hosted by Will & Jada. Coming out in a carriage with spinners was ace.

Tom Cruise presented Best Actor. Called Foxx’s cell to get the speech, then hurled out “much love”. Freaking WEIRD.

Destiny’s Child serenaded Magic Johnson, Nelly, and that guy. You could practically see Jay-Z’s sniper put his target on that dude’s forehead.

Gladys Knight outperforming and correcting everyone.

Cover Girls attacking Anthony Anderson. Hi-larious.

Stevie Wonder schooling the chump that is John Legend.

Ludacris rolling out on a Caddy. After all, he’s the one who dirtied up the sOUTH.

Portugal. The Man - Slick post-punk - Hot!

Long Blondes - Cheeky chick-punk - Fun

Film School - Dense flight-rock - Adrenalizing

Goldmund - Sleepy piano noise - Soothing

Destroyer - Silvery strum-pop - Charming

Islands - Crazy ex-Unicorns shizz - Spiffy

Hard-Fi - Dirty lad-rock - Kickin’

Mariah overtakes 50 Cent in best-selling album race

Music’s most-famous ho really had a good year in 2005. She may have the #1 album, she performed at numerous awards shows, she didn’t have a nervous breakdown, and she was allowed to adopt over 400 cats from the Phillippines. On second thought, nevermind about the nervous breakdown.

Sox in hunt for Tejada; Ramirez, Clement involved

In other news, an army of walruses has captured the Finnish capital, Helsinki.

Colorado man dies in wood chipper accident

Police say Korean whiskey was involved. Btw, has anyone heard from Ben lately?

Experts say Gen Y will need serious direction in the workplace

Not since Generation E (c. 1825-1845) have America’s youth been so coddled. The baby boomers of the Revolutionary War notoriously overparented, causing their children to start the Civil War. Is history repeating?

Police: Meat Bandit Nabbed in Golf Cart

Old & busted: “butt pirate” - New hotness: “meat bandit”

Man robbed after he bought suspects beer

That’s pretty low. Those guys’ beer karma is in the crapper. They’ll probably all drink an AIDS-tainted 12-pack of Crapweiser and die.
