Guest post COW: Lattewarrior’s Pop Culture All Stars (allowing for posting of Megan Fox picture)
Posted on July 13th, 2009 – 1:16 PMBy Michael Rand
Lattewarrior won a very controversial and close Commenter Of the Week race against Brandon, primarily because of breadth of work (and because he had a topic in mind while we knew Brandon was out of town). His subject matter also allowed us to post that picture of Megan Fox. Win-win-(win). Latte?
—————
Your 2009 Pop Culture All-Stars
Not sure if you’ve noticed or not, but Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game is sporting some seriously jacked-up rosters (Jason Bartlett!). When I was a portly scamp growing up on Rural Route 2, the All-Star Game was all about seniority. Guys like Ozzie Smith, Dave Winfield, Cal Ripken and George Brett always got voted in as starters, even if they were hurt, underperforming or past their prime. Aside from the occasional Chet Lemon or Ken Singleton, you pretty much knew who was going to make the team. Those days are long over. Not only did cheaters like Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez get left at home, but stand-up guy Ken Griffey even failed to finagle an honorary invite. Not that I’m complaining. On the contrary, the fans and coaches by in large got it right in rewarding Raul Ibanez, Evan Longoria, Hunter Pence and Ben Zobrist for their stellar first halves.
Anyway, since this is a slow week sports-wise (unless Ricky Rubio news breaks or Joe Mauer cures cancer in between winning the Home Run Derby and leading the American League to home-field advantage in the World Series), I thought I’d throw my neighbor AZGG a bone and unveil the 2009 Pop Culture All-Star Team. Just like in MLB, some big names are conspicuously absent here, including Clooney, Lindsay, Brangelina, Brit, Speidi, Paula, Tom-Kat and the entire casts of Gossip Girl and Twilight. Go ahead and post your snubs but please understand that some if not most of the following selections were made exclusively to help support the bit. Good day.

Sooze is going to cut you.
We truly are neigbhors, as I, too, grew up on Rural Route 2 (now known as 411th Ave., as if Sibley County’s population mandates the use of 3-digit street numbers and 5-digit house numbers. Whatevs.)
I have nothing to add to your stellar list and particularly appreciated Jon Gosselin’s credentials. Well done.
Super well done. +4. (Although the “stranded a bunch of runners on third base” joke might also have worked for the Jonas Brothers.)
The Sports Gal nods her head in approval.
Well done, I’m glad my vote wasn’t wasted.
* Megan Fox has one of the worst tattoo’s ever!
I too grew up on Rural Route 2 (now Jason Ave).

Hi everyone
I got this tattoo done about 3 years ago, its only a half sleeve, i absolutely love it,
its a Dragon that wraps around a skull and there are bats in the invisible space. I am now
very interested in continuing my piece further down ” Inner elbow and forearm” for now.
Any ideas on what to do? Im stuck with few ideas since it needs to be worked in to go with
my theme. any help would be great, Thanks!
Sorry for the pic, the tattoo is not as faded as it looks, the flash was too bright on
the camera.
