Monday Moaning

 

Well this weekend, was my birthday weekend...My birthday fell on Sunday, so I consider the whole weekend as my birthday...And it was a good time...Saturday afternoon Mrs. Beeze and I went to Cleveland's historic, West Side Market for lunch, and to load up on some food...You can get anything there...Great butchers, bakers, and pasta makers...Great local produce, at great prices...And after a few beers, I was ready to find some hipsters to punch...Oh how the hipsters love the Ohio City area...

We got 5 red peppers, and 6 green peppers for $3...You can't beat that...And those, along with some meat we got, lead to my Sunday birthday dinner...My fucking awesome (if I do say so myself) Stuffed Peppers...

     
The rest of Saturday I spent catching up on COLLEGE_FOOTBALL...That and Mrs. Beeze giving me my favorite birthday present...No, not the 1976 Fender Starcaster I wanted...

Sunday I took the kids to the park, while the wife did some shopping for the Little Beeze's B-day, which is Tuesday...Then she baked a cake for us to have after my awesome Stuffed Peppers...Then I got my gift from the kids...They got me a swear jar...These little smart-ass, shits!  Couple of ball-busters!  The boy better watch it, or I'm taking his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to Toys-R-Us...

So in sports, the big story was the replacement refs screwing the pooch during the Monday Night Football game between Green Bay and Seattle...Now I was rooting for Seattle, if for no other reason than to screw with my buddy Ryan...But there were some really bad calls in this game, along with some bad no calls...But then came the Hail Mary at the end...And holy shit balls, the sports world went crazy...I thought the call was wrong, but it was made, and the replay officials stood by it...But then our buddy Mo posted this LINK on Facebook and I'm willing to buy into it possibly, if for no other reason then I was pissed about all the people who were shitting on Golden Tate and company for celebrating the win...A win is a win, and you're happy when you get one, especially after a hard-fought game, like that one...

And Packers fans, who were so upset, and felt they had a win stolen from them...Watch the game again...The Seahawks defense kicked your Packers ass all over the field...Green Bay's defense showed up, but the offense was crap...They got owned by Seattle...No one is entitled to wins...They're earned, and if you really watched that game, you didn't earn it Green Bay!  Yeah, my Packer Backer friends are gonna have something to say about that!

The replacement refs sucked through their brief stint in the NFL...And I was just about ready to stop tuning into the NFL...Then the league came out and backed up the refs TD call from Monday night, which at that point I was firmly planted in the they got it wrong camp...And hours later they were trying their best to hammer out a  deal with the real refs, to get them out on the field for Thursday nights game...I'm sorry, but right then, what little credibility the league had, was lost in my eyes...

So Thursday night, I didn't watch one second of the Browns and Ravens game...And let me tell you this...It was wonderful...It's amazing what not watching the Browns will do for your mental well-being...The wife and I popped on a few episodes of "Arrested Development" on Netflix, bumped uglies, and she went to bed...Then I watched my fellow Browns fans be miserable once again on Twitter and Facebook...And there I sat, grinning from ear to ear...No stress...No frustration...I mean you go into a Browns game expecting them to blow, but if you don't watch it, you haven't invested/wasted any time into it...I may have to stick to this strategy, because at this point, it wouldn't surprise me if the Browns end up with that perfect 0-16 record...

In other NFL news, the Patriots got their shit together and beat the Bills Sunday 52-28 with two backs gaining 100 yards each on the ground, and Tom Brady, looking like Tom Brady...

The 49ers shutout the Jets 34-0 as Sanchez looked like crap again...And yes, the cries and chants for the savior, Tebow have started...

The Arizona Cardinals are undefeated...That just doesn't sound right...But I mean they did play the Dolphins Sunday...The Cards should be worried that it took OT to beat the 'Phins...

And in what had to be a heart-breaker for B-Dub, the Falcons squeaked out a 30-28 comeback win against the Panthers...Sorry pal, I know that one hurt...

And, am I the only one shocked to see the Vikings are 3-1, while the Lions are 1-3, after their conference match up Sunday, which the Vikings won 20-13...Before the season started I expected those records to be flipped...I gotta figure the Packers and Bears are starting to take notice of the Vikings now...

That's it for now people...Have a week...

Monday Moaning

Yep, it was Birthday Weekend here at the Beeze Household...Friday was mine, and then Sunday was the Little Beeze's Birthday Bash...You can read all about Friday's events, RIGHT_HERE...Then Saturday, Mrs. Beeze took me out for an amazing DINNER!

Then Sunday came along...For the second year, we had the Little Beeze's party at PUMP_IT_UP...The kids love the place, and it means I don't have to have all these people at my house...That would mean cleaning before, and after the party, and making food...Plus this year, we paid extra for them to do the goodie bags...They did better than I would have...If you compare time and money, we would have spent just as much having it at our house...Plus there's a time limit, so it pushes those unwanted, straggler relatives out the door for you!

Here's the boy putting on a show for the camera...




Here's him getting his favorite present...




Yes, two hours of craziness, but they all had fun...

-Now, to the Sports...After the Party I put on the Browns game, but I quickly turned it off...If they didn't piss me off enough last week with THIS_BULLSHIT, (Apparently that then they went out this week and got their asses beat by the Titans...Unreal...Last week everyone is all hyped up talking about how good the defense is, and then they get knocked around by the Titans...And Shurmur, the Head Coach/OC and his "West Coast Offense" can eat me...This ain't the west coast offense we all no and love...

Why don't you start running the Spread-Option-Read to show us just how much you're really in over your head...And Fatty Holmgren, you walrus looking fuck, you get some of the blame too...People here like to say, "In Holmgren we trust." Why? n He has consistently failed in the front-office...People in Cleveland see Super Bowl Rings, but don't realize 2 were as an assistant coach and one as a head coach...None when he was in the front office...

-Other NFL news...Hey Philly, suck my ass..."Dream Team" really Vince Young...You fucking cunt, too hurt to ever play, not even good enough to play, and you hyped this team that can't pass block, and can't stop the run...With 3 high-priced corners who aren't doing shit and tackle like Deion Sanders...Drop Dead!

-Romo slipped back to his old ways of fucking up, oh and the Lions did their come from behind thing again, to stay undefeated...AWESOME!

-The Steelers look like shit! Love that!

-Let's rewind to Saturday's games...My boy Robert Griffin from Baylor continued to put up huge numbers, but his mates on defense couldn't hold Kansas State offense, and the Baylor Bears took a loss...Ohio State looked like dog shit against Michigan State, in a thrilling 10-7 loss...

But I was geared up fro the prime-time games...ND at Purdue...The Irish just took them apart...Tommy Rees had his first turnover free game, but you have to chalk some of that up to the fact that Purdue sucks...It actually could have been worse for the Boilermakers, but Rees continued to struggle in the red zone...

Wisconsin welcomed Nebraska to The Big Ten, by giving them a pink sock, live on ABC! And on CBS, Alabama reminded Florida that this year the SEC is all about Alabama vs. LSU...All the prime-time games ended up being a letdown...Blowouts get boring...

-Looking for some Baseball coverage...Sorry, no such luck...I have lost all interest...

-The NHL gets started up Thursday, and even though I love Hockey, the season, just like Baseball, is too long...They start too soon, and they end too late...

That's all for now...It was a busy weekend, now I gotta get ready to get back to the grind...Oh, but I'll give you a quick video, of the Baby Beeze, barging at the remote control...




Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.

The Beeze Reviews Johnny's Bar

That folks, is what I had for dinner Saturday Night! That is the Long Bone Veal Chop, Pounded, Breaded & Baked...Topped with Tomato Coulis, Arugula and Balsamic Vinaigrette...And it was amazing...

The wife had decided to take me out for a nice dinner for my birthday...Read my PREVIOUS_POST for the Birthday recap...She told me to pick, so I decided on JOHNNY'S_BAR...It's kinda stupid to call the place a bar...Bars don't usually put out this type of food...I've always just called it Johnny's on Fulton...One of the few gems you'll find on Fulton road in Cleveland...

To start, I went simple, getting the Mozzarella Marinara...Don't be fulled...This isn't some bullshit Mozz sticks like TGI Fridays...this is quality Mozzarella, with Cleveland's best Marinara sauce...The Mrs. is real picky when it comes to red sauce...Johnny's is so good, we bought to jars to go!

She started with the Bacon wrapped scallops...How can you go wrong there...Well, she actually was a little disappointed...The scallops were small, and each was totally encased in bacon...She felt the bacon over-powered the flavor of the scallops...

Then we had house salads...Fine...Salads, nothing special...I was drinking Great Lakes Brewing Company's Oktoberfest...(yes, that's how they spell it)...She was drinking a Riesling...I don't know shit about wine, except to keep pouring it down her throat!

Then she had one of the specials...A 14ounce strip steak, thinly sliced, served medium-rare, topped with sweet onions, and mushrooms, in a demi glace...With aged cheddar and pancetta mashers...The steak was so moist, and tender...It melted in your moth...She thought they could ease up on the sauce, but she loved it...

As I said, I had the Long Bone Veal...Talk a about flavorful...Sorry folks, but baby cow tastes great...And it was so tender, I was cutting it with my fork...The tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic worked so well with the veal and the breading...It's a can't miss dish, only made better being served over top of Johnny's house specialty, au gratin potatoes...

For desert, The Mrs. has the Raspberry Cheesecake...Holy huge slice! I had the Bananas Foster...Rum, Bananas, and Ice Cream...Hard to screw up, and they didn't...We finished the evening there with coffee...Nice, bold, brew...

Now, this all sounds great, and it was...But it was an expensive evening...Drinks, all four course, coffee, two jars of sauce, and tip got us for over two hundred bucks...Considering how little we go out, and how good it was...I'm okay with the price...

Then we headed home...My goal, get the kids to bed...Watch Notre Dame beat the hell out of Purdue, and squeeze in some halftime sex! Birthday weekend rules!

Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Here we are again...The weekend has come and gone, and Monday is here to punch us in the face...But this week is a celebration...Friday, The BEEZEWAX turned one year old...And this week...Tuesday I believe, You Gab Sports turns one year old...Happy Birthday Gabbers!

In case you missed it, I spent Friday night celebrating these birthdays, by passing out some skull f**ks... http://yougabsports.com/pt/1-Year-and-Some-Skull-Fks/blog.htm

This dog thought it was a good idea...

With that said, let's get to the Moaning...Saturday night The Notre Dame Fighting Irish lost to Pitt...You can read all about it...My anger included, here... http://irishbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/11/irish-lose-to-pitt-27-22.html

I'm not happy about the way things are going in South Bend...I think it's time for Fatty Weis to go!

Next up, The Cleveland Browns play the original Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, Monday night...God help us all, the Browns on Monday Night Football...Lowest ratings of the season I'll bet...I'm really hoping Jack and Jill Browns fans show up late...Let the people see an empty stadium...Let the league see what a joke this franchise has become...But there's something else about this, that really has me pissed...

Our local FOX affiliate, FOX 8 paid for the rights to show the game on their station..."For the people who don't have cable." I'm assuming they had to kick both the NFL and ESPN some money...Then when it was looking like the game wouldn't sellout...FOX 8 bought the remaining 3,000 plus tickets before the black out deadline...Why does this bother me? First, seriously, if you don't have cable, or DIRECTV, or something...Please go in the corner and die...It's time to move on douche bag...If you don't have cable, you shouldn't have a TV...Second, "House" Mother f**king "House" is on Monday night!

If you give me the choice between seeing Dr. House treat people like shit, while he saves their lives, and deals with his demons...Or watching the Browns get f**king Mollywopped by the Ravens...I'll take the Dr. with a limp and a drug problem...And if Jamal Lewis plays for the Browns...I hope the Ravens break both his legs!

Okay, I got that off my chest...

In prostitute news this week...Yes, I'm hip to the escort world...The world famous Belle de Jour was outed this week, and many people were surprised to find out just who she is... http://gawker.com/5405209/anonymous-call-girl-author-belle-de-jour-outed-as-slutty-scientist-costume-incarnate

As I'm writing this, the New England Patriots are shitting the bed...and just blew their lead...I hate Peyton Manning...I hate all the Mannings! Son of a bitch! Game over.

Now, onto the little Beeze...regular readers know, he's like his old man...He's a pervert...A 5 year old pervert...He can't let go of his junk...He seems to enjoy getting wedgies...He's a freak...So Saturday, while I was at work...He was having a battle with my wife and wasn't willing to lose...He wasn't doing what he was told, and wouldn't listen...She threatened him with a spanking...(he knows this is an empty threat...She doesn't spank)...So he says, "Oh yeah! Then pulled down his pants...She told him to put them back on...He of course refused...He finally put his pants back on after she had thrown a couple of his toys into a garbage bag...This kid is a pain in the ass!

There's still a good card to pull on him...I have the Santa card in my pocket...Yes, Christmas isn't far away, and he thinks Santa can see all the crap he does...I'll be abusing that card for a month...His Christmas List has a Puppy and a Baby on it...NO and NO! My daughter would like a private jet so she can fly to Hollywood, and France...She's already discovered Johnny Depp...God help me! My wife wasn't happy when I tried to explain to her, that Johnny Depp is a Communist...It's gonna be a long Holiday season...

Let's close with a little Holiday laugh...

Have a great week...

Later, The Beeze.
