Worst of 2004... as promised!

Alright, here's my list of random junk from 2004 that we'll call "The Worst."

Be sure to check out my BESTS below. Bests are better than worsts... in general. (that's why they are BESTS).

anyway...


Worst News-- The Tsunami. Really, I never thought a natural disaster could be so... Disastrous. To make the horror even harder to bear is the fact that the world has found a way to bash America for not helping enough. Sure, they rip us for sticking our noses into other countries' affairs on one hand--then they rip on us for not getting help over there fast enough on the other. Can't have it both ways, folks.

Worst Sports Moment-- TIE:

1) Detroit Pistons vs. Indiana Pacers... the brawl. Stupid fans, stupid Artest gave fuel to those who were already criticizing the NBA for glorifying the street thug image.

2) Red Sox win the Series. Yeah, that's just wrong. What's worse is that Doug Miengiathhjeaklz was able to get a ring for his few months on the bench. Way to go Dougie. Ride that pine into victory. Yanks in 2005.

Worst Election: No matter the outcome, Bush vs. Kerry was a choice between two evils. I didn't feel good about my choice between a religion-bound conservative or a flip-flopping socialist. Hmmmm. Is that the best we could come up with?

Worst wurst Target Center bratwurst, November 9th. Not hot enough.


Worst picture emailed to me (actually it was the best at the same time):


Yeah... that's just plain disturbing... but I can't stop looking at it!

Worst total disregard to "the rules"-- Lambeau Field's flying America's Flag at half-mast for Reggie White. C'mon... he's a FOOTBALL PLAYER!! Plus, the "rules" state that only the President or the Governor have the right to decree a half-mast flying of the flag. Put the flag back up, please, before you embarrass your city any more (if that were possible).

Worst defense-- Minnesota Vikings. How many yards would you like this play, sirs? 14? Okay... here ya go. I have grown too tired of watching this pathetic team to even root for their chances on making the playoffs. I am done with them until next year.

Worst concert performance-- Deicide. C'mon Glenn Benton... either retire or find some energy! I waited through a bunch of mediocre death metal opening bands (except Necromis) to see YOU... and you give me less than 45 minutes of that? Deicide epitomized "mailing it in" that night. Oh well, at least I got to see Necromis... plus I got to see the guy from Jungle Rot kick some fan in the head.

Alright, that's enough. I don't like concentrating on all this negativity. Have a safe and merry New Year.
