Topics covered by this blizz will include but are not limited to the following: (1) fantasy sports, (2) food, (3) TV shows, (4) names for things that are considered gross, i.e. "darth vader" and "hot karl", (5) gaining weight, (6) losing hair.
Potential loyal readers here we go...I feel like i've got the gift, the gift of all things fantasy sports related except for football of course. So without further adieu I will hook all of you up with some tips on who to pick up in fantasy bball in the next few days. Obviously I won't mention anyone that I have my eye on but we (aka me) here at de la thumbs like to make our readers (aka nobody) feel like they are getting the best information possible so I will try to not hold out on all of you. I feel like Smush Parker is due to come out of his season long slump. Add him if you know whats good for your team. Also, R. Luther Head (the R is for his given first name, Richard) could be a hot commodity due to his 3 point prowess. Also, Anthony Parker is solid and should not be available although he kinda sucks.
de la thumbs has interests other than fantasy sports but we will be honest, those interests are neither interesting nor existant.
The staff here at de la thumbs created a great soup last night that we suggest everyone makes at home and we will call it white bean and mushroom soup. Here is the recipe: Saute thick cut bacon in a dutch oven (I know, i know) until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the dutch oven and then saute a red onion (minced) in the bacon fat. Add pepper. Add mushrooms and cherry tomatoes and 4 cans of any white bean (canneloni?). Add more pepper and red pepper flakes. Now add chicken stock to cover everything and use a mashed potato masher to kinda mash up some of the beans. Let this come to a boil and then simmer it for a while (30 minutes at least) at the end add a little heavy cream just to add some body to the soup. Add the bacon back to the soup. Serve and enjoy. Delish! (optional: cut up and then cook some chorizo or andouille sausage in a separate pan and then add the sausage and rendered fat to the soup. Do this before adding the cream).
What is the deal with Meredith Grey? Why does she always repeat things like "I'm knitting?" or "I'm dating?" This is so f-ing annoying to the thumbs. She should start repeating things such as, "I'm f-ing irritating" or "I'm eating crap." Shut up Meredith Grey, you suck! While we are in deep conversation about this season's hottest thursday night sitcoms lets talk about Ugly Betty. What a show! Betty certainly lives up to her billing. She is certainly ugly but thumbs had braces while freezing his phalanges off in the land of women dressed in oversized ward burton t-shirts, all white velcro reeboks and perms with close cropped sides and back so he knows how ugly one can be when you have all those leftovers in your braces. Lets just say that I walked into class with vanilla crisp powerbar stuck in my ruberbands on more than once. Anyways, Ugly Betty really hit home in today's world of illegal immigrants in the US of A. Mr. Suarez (Betty's dad) is illegal and just got put on lock down by the local law enforcement. What a shame. Mr. Suarez has all the attributes that many legals have: a huge moustache and his penchant for wearing staple articles of clothing such as shirts and pants. However, what he does not have is any restraint when it comes to a table full of chimichangas, flan and arroz con pollo. Act the part Mr. Suarez, act the part.
Finally, in this, the initial installment of Blizz de la Thumbs Arbuckle, we would like to thank all of you for reading. Thank you, come again! Giggidy giggidy, giggidy goo.
