Hot Dogs, Apple Pie & Thunks - how much more American can you get ?

Been thunking for a few days now so just keep reading and the tunk process will filter down at the end.......

Danielle Peck really is Terri Clark Lite (and curvier) - Terri must be kicking herself that she didn't get "Good Man" first.......

The smell of the eggs & bacon coming from pronto Pizza at 36th & 6th every morning is awesome - it is very hard not to stop and just dive into a plate.......

Pedro's initial return to Fenway was great on Tuesday night - too bad it didn't carry over to the mound when he pitched on Wednesday night - that was just plain ugly......Jose Reyes & David Wright both cooled off in Boston and so did the rest of the Mets during that sweep.....we may have seen the last of Lastins Milledge for the forseeable future - those dropped balls up against the Green Monster were not good - he ill be back and will be an outfield cornerstone for years to come..........as an aside - nice to see that Mike Piazza is having a quietly strong year out in SD and don't look now Reggie Jackson but Ken Griffey Jr has hit dingers in 4 straight games.......

I am still upset with the rangers picking a Larrie in the first round of the NHL Draft - and this idea of playing a game in Yankee Stadium is pure fantasy but as a season ticket holder - I'm there.........Patrick Roy in the Hall of Fame on the first try was an absolute no-brainer

Saw an ad for Ground Chicken Burgers the other day and thunked what a great idea that is - I can see a Tequila/Lime with Monterey Jack combo or a Chipotle Cheddar with avocado or even a BBQ Muenster Chicken Burger......hhhhmmmmm.......

Parking spots the last few days - Felix Millan, Bobby Rousseau and today - Joe Montana (I hated him)......

Britney nekkid & pregnant on the cover of Harper's Bazaar was not what I needed to see - how much further can she go before she hits rockbottom - only Star Jones has less credibility now than Brit & K-Fed......

and speaking of Star Jones - I saw her on Larry King last night and I wanted to give her a roll of bumwad to wipe her mouth there was so much crap coming out of it......I refuse to believe that Barbara Walters lied to her - plain & simple - Larry King should quit giving her a forum.......

The NBA Draft - Zeke may be insane but anything that keeps Stephen A. speechless cn't be all bad.......can't help but think that the italian kid who went #1 is Darko V2.0........Portland was channeling Monty Hall and I still don't know why Boston would want Telfair.......has the NBA quit laughing at the Knicks yet ????? Zeke has to let the kids he has picked in the last 2 years play this year or he can kiss his job good-bye - I thunk he is gone no matter what next year even if they are the #8 seed in the playoffs........

The rain the other morning was hard and the puddles on the way to train were trying hard to pull the wheel from your hand.....as bad as it was, it beat the 3 hour ride home that night, thank you NJ Transit......no sandals, no csi, no short hills society dame and no Athena but Woody was there today and Shades was in his normal seat - i just have this feeling from looking at him that he has a very warped sense of humor........

The Spiderman 3 Teaser that I have seen on the Net looks great - opens May 4, 2007 - Happy Birthday to me........

I really do believe that some of the drivers here in NYC actively try to run down pedestrians like they are in Deathrace 2000.........

Football training camps start in less than a month.......

Hell's Kitchen is a lot less of a guilty pleasure this year and Sara is a snake that will probably get to the finale vs Heather.....I thunk that Chef Ramsey really enjoyed telling Tom to get out of Hell's Kitchen......

You know a book is good when you don't mind your train being delayed at the entrance to the tunnel coming into Penn Station - Shanks for Nothing is one of those books.......

Prickly City is another must read comic strip.......Pearls, Mutts and Get Fuzzy still reign supreme.......

The Most with Alsion Stewart on MSNBC at 4am is slowly becoming one of my favorite early morning shows - mindless news with some interesting segments - I really liked that she alluded to her MTV VJ days this morning when she commented that they used to call MTV - Logan's Run - no one over 30 allowed.......

I may just have to enter my alligator chili in the USA Weekend recipe contest.......

The Theme from Caddyshack was my iPod song of the day today - perfect tune to carry me into my game tomorrow at the Westport CC - or as we refer to it - The DogTrack....

Have a great 4th and watch out for fireworks and undercooked burgers.......swampy abides
