Ebayer’s Anonymous

I have officially become an Ebay addict and its time for an intervention. I’ve noticed recently that I am showing all the signs of a full fledged addict. It started yesterday when I found myself in a dark alley in a bad neighborhood searching the Ebay app on my Iphone so my girlfriend wouldn’t catch me. She’s been a little ticked at me since she caught me last week stealing money from her purse to finance the Nike Sumo Sasquatch driver I basically stole off Ebay. She went on to tell me that the first six drivers I bought this year were just as good and that I was getting out of hand. This sent me into a fit of rage when it was obvious that this driver would add 5-8 yards to my already mammoth drive and cut 1-2 stokes of my handicap. Since then I’ve sold that driver on Ebay for a small loss and purchased the same one in a different degree, something that any rationale person would do. I currently have 342 items on my watch list, which is skewed a bit due to the fact that I am watching three different sizes in certain sweaters. I plan on purchasing them all this way I’ll be guaranteed a good fit. If anyone else has this problem please leave any advice you have in the comment box. Is there an Ebayer’s Anonymous, some sort of patch, or maybe a hypnotist?

He got game?

Lebron james movie is something that i've actually put on my calendar. 'More than a game' looks to be more than another basketball movie as its actual footage of lebron in high school dunking like he's a grown man. I'm a huge Jesus Shuttlesworth fan from He got game, the only real basketball movie i liked (other than Blue Chips, but how can you admit that). Your not going to beat a movie with denzel, basketball, and ray allen banging two pornstars - but this has a shot.

Jungle-ish Fever

How does Khloe Kardashian (the heavy one, i said it.) marry Lamar Odom after dating him for a month. If you've ever seen this show, this girl is a total train wreck with guys. Better yet, what was Lamar Odom actually thinking? He could have done a ton of due diligence just watching the show i guess. In true The Rake spirit, lets gamble on this divorce - i say under 5 months. Hold me to it.

Piss your pants lately?

If it's been a while since you've urinated due to laughter, this should do the trick.

when the going gets tough - ochocinco gets going. Over at The Rake, we're avid sports fans. We pride ourselves on expert football picks and overly large high-def televisions to watch them on. (we said we were regular guys right?) Do yourself a favor and read this great review of Chad Ochocinco's new book - if you've ever watched Hardknocks on HBO, this is about 10x better. Enjoy.

Chapter 1.

Two regular guys, who consider themselves nothing short of extraordinary. That's how this started. We needed a place to take everyday observations, thoughts, and ideas and share them - and make sure we were indeed, not crazy. But maybe we are? I guess we'll find out, welcome to The Rake.
