Still Alive and Kicking

It's been lonely at CBSVG this past week. I've been getting evil stares from my blog about the lack of attention it has received. Never one for excuses, I'm just going to swallow my pride and admit that I was held hostage by Somali pirates. It was a hellish experience and one will be impossible to forget. But, the important thing to know is that I'm back and ready to dispense wisdom and childish humor two to three times a week, all for your enjoyment.

Time to make up for lost time. Here's a quick round-up of Chicks, Beer, Sports and Video Games to segue into a much more significant post tomorrow. On a Friday night no less. See what I'm willing to sacrifice for my fans?

Jeopardy style Q & A:
A: What is the above picture?
Q: The only acceptable reason for a man to purchase December's issue of Allure.

For English Premier League fans out there, do yourself a favor and watch Fanzone every once in a while. It's usually on at some weird hour and the game isn't live so there's a good chance you know the score anyway, but honestly, who cares? This is about dedicated fans rooting for their team and giving the most biased play by play commentary this side of Dicky V broadcasting a Duke game. Need proof that this show kicks ass? Watch away:

On the video game front, a new Mortal Kombat title just dropped (I'm so clearly from the ghetto). Not to date myself, but I was in 6th or 7th grade when the first MK was released. Let it be known that many quarters were spent playing that game, trying to figure out how to do the goddamn Fatalities. For a wee lad of 12 or 13, they were nigh on impossible to pull off. But as I grew older, and newer MKs came out, I was able to hold my own against some of the older kids at the Varsity Club, with their wispy mustaches and rat tails. In my opinion the pinnacle of the series is MK2, so here are the Fatalities from that memorable title.



What would any round up be without some drunken buffoonery? Certainly not a recap on CBSVG. When I'm an 83-year old woman, I hope to be able to pull off as an impressive a kegstand. Given that I can barely do a push up, I have my work cut out for me.
