Things that rhyme with Orange

Nothing. Believe it or not, but no word in the English dictionary rhymes with orange. As for the Chinese, French, Mexican, Ugandian, and Polish dictionaries, we just don’t know.  This means there’s hope in the world for some word to rhyme with orange.  It’s like the phrase “there’s someone out there for everyone.”

On second thought, who gives a shit if anything rhymes with orange. Screw you orange.

At The Movies

At the Movies.  Today’s film is a delightful chapter from the saga of Nick Cage.  Only a man as bountiful as this could endorse bears in such a way.  Breath taking.

The Race For Last…

Here is my second post about the bottom of the barrel Islanders.

I had an interesting thought while reading an article today.  What if the Islanders (30th place) and Thrashers (29th place) were separated by one point come the last game of the season, and the last game for the both of them was against each other?  That would be quite interesting.

We all know who the #1 pick will be next year, need you all be reminded? Granted #2 being defensemen Victor Hedman would not be a bad choice at all, but the teams who are last now need offense, and Mr. Tavares would be quite an addition.

If it was the Islanders and Thrashers going head to head last game, would the Thrashers be easy on the Islanders wanting them to get the win so they have 30th, or do the Islanders go out there and play to lose.  Or, play like they have been all season….ouch.  Or would the 2 teams go out there and play a hell of a game?  Who knows.

Say that one of the teams is noticeably “not playing as they normally would”, would the league discipline the team that “intentionally” lost?  I’d like to think so (If it wasn’t the Islanders of course).  How would it go about the punishment though?  Take them out of the draft lottery so they have no chance at obtaining #1?  Take away a late round pick?  I don’t know, but I hope for the leagues sake that this is never happens in the upcoming seasons.

There is something to think about.  Without further adieu, here is are the last 5 teams in the standing as of 2/28/09.

Bald Ass In Pianos

Well, apparently one of our sponsors name is Bald Ass In Pianos as seen in this little screenshot.

Look at the domain name in blue

We thought it was an appropriate post since all we talk about here is nothing but retardedness. Now, if we had any say as to who their spokesperson should be,  without a doubt we would have to go with her:

Vanity Plates

Here at TCM, we have developed a great disdain for vanity plates. Don’t judge us because so have you. You see them on the road everyday like we do and think “what type of douchebag actually requests ‘BIGP1MPN’ when they’re 130lbs. and look like McLovin?”

Thank god for TCM because now you have an outlet to let your frustrations be heard about the douchebaggery that uses vanity plates.

One of our loyal readers gave us the inspiration for this post when he saw the “I INVEST” on the road this week. Who would go to the DMV to actually have this put on their car? It’s like someone requesting “I FART,” “I WCKOFF,” “I GT DRNK” or the famous “I JST POOD.” Now what would’ve been awesome is if they put down, “I BTR TN U” because that’s essentially what they are trying to say which begs another question – why do they have to put it on their vanity plate? Must be some low self esteem. Too bad our reader couldn’t tell us if the car was a Mercedes Benz or a Dodge Aries. Our guess is that its the latter of the two.

Attention TCM readers! If you see a wacky or crazy vanity plate on the road that needs to addressed on TCM, bring it to our attention! Send us a note with the vanity plate (doable), the model of the car (optional), a picture (would be amazing), and we’ll post it! There are plenty of douchebag vanity plates out there so make sure you’re on the look out for:

Fire Drill

One of the most disorganized events to take place in American culture is the fire drill. An event popularized by the Ghostbusters when Janine Melnitz pushed that bell and everything got real.

Kids practice climbing onto their roofs in case the doorknob is to hot. What does this prepare them for? Sneakng out of the house the moment they are condemned to the bedroom through what is commonly referred to as grounding. Thanks mom for showing us the second exit. In high school the firedrill became a widely used escape measure from an exam as the wildcards of the school became Principal Belding’s best friend. And when the workforce ensues, adults have gone through so many drills it becomes a worthless exercise. Almost like a cried wolf story. By the time an emergency actually happens no one moves. So TCM is making the recommendation to throw out fire drills. Mass panic will cause quick evacuation with a death run trample rate of only 2 per 100 people. We ran the tests and poor Jimmy didn’t make it. He dealt with the people anyway, so he was expendable.

The strong survived and we didn’t waste all that time in drills.  Case solved.
