Wowowee Wilyonaryo Scandal: Willie: Eat Bulaga! na ang number one!
Matagal na.
Wowowee's Willie: Iwan n'yo ko kung madaya ako (GMA News)
Wowowee host Willie Revillame got very emotional as he shared his true feelings about the "Wilyonaryo" controversy and Joey de Leon's constant remarks about the issue. Joey is one of the main hosts of Eat Bulaga! on GMA-7, Wowowee's rival program.
Willie seemed to lose control of himself and he blurted out, "Sa mga taong may sakit, kayo lang iniisip ko, off-cam, kahit walang camera, ano ginagawa namin dito? Tumutulong pa rin kami!"
Willie's frustration was evident as he addressed Joey and the frequent remarks of the latter concerning the scandal. The exasperation of his voice showed how irritated he was with Joey.
"Ikaw na ang bida, ikaw na ang number one, sa iyo na ang ratings, ikaw na! Sige, Eat Bulaga! na ang number one!" Willie cried out.
Anong klaseng tulong 'yan. It's a game show. I think Willie has brainwashed himself as to what he is really doing. Wowowee exists for profit. The best way to help the Filipino people is not to run a bogus million peso game, but to educate the poor, give them medical assistance. By running a game show like this, you are making them rely on luck and miracles. Walang himala.
What a load of bullshit.
Sige iyak.
I totally agree their not helping pipol their helping themselves, kung walang profit sa gameshow maske nakakatulong pa ito sisibakin ang host at gagawa ng bago. Plus wag mo i mislead ang tao sa pagiyak mo na kesyo pinipersonal ka ni JDL dahil ang totoong isyu ay dayaan sa gameshow…..
grabe, but what else is new?
Hmm… making fun of street children on a live noontime show or using a stampede to make jokes or making accusations with the intention of trying to beat down the competition is pretty much a huge, sticking pile of bullsh!t.
Rickey, I couldn't have said it any better. Very well put. I absolutely agree. Education and proper healthcare in the Philippines needs to be promoted more than game shows and ratings.
Ewan ko ba dyan… OA sa reaction…
Kuya Rickey, did read the article Joey De Leon wrote… His article was very well written… Very witty and sarcastic about his opinions in what's happening lately in the Philippine's showbizness…
Never did Joey mention the name WOWOWEE or WILLIE, cuz very obvious naman na he was implying it was Willie… If you read between the lines…
But it was only what, 1% of the total article when he said in the end, "…TEASTING is not bad, CHEATING is… on TV!"
So I don't really see nothing wrong with what he said, cuz Willie have said even worst comments and criticsms against Eat Bulaga and GMA-7 ever since the show went on air…
Bakit sino ba ang nagsasabi parati, ito ang "Ito na show na totoong NUMBER ONE sa buong MUNDO," in almost every single episode of Wowowee"…
And yeah you're right… It's not even for the sake of the ratings, kitang kita naman yung nangyari eh… So dapat handa sya kung tirahin sya ng mga critics especially someone like JOEY DE LEON…
Why the big reaction to a small little comment, kasi nga siguro, GUILTY!
Diba, Willie even said it himself, "Joke joke joke joke joke lang ba?t ka nagagalit?
Siguro ay totoo kaya naiinis!" -

What the hell has Willie said about EB other than he idolizes them.
Ngayon lang naman yata sinabi ni Willie na ini-idulo nya ang EB… Other times he would make fun the segments the host or comparing the ratings cuz "worldwide" nga daw ang TFC…
Ang tanong kasi, why is Willie only pointing out EB and si Joey De Leon when the whole Philippines, media, internet, YouTube, ABS-CBN, GMA-7, etc ang napagusapan sa issue…
What's with ratings again, who cares about the ratings, the issue is: WHY ARE THERE TWO SLIDES OF NUMBERS IN THE VIOLET BOX?
Why confuse the people and point at someone who was poking fun at the issue… Si Joey kasi, talaga namang palabiro… At least kapag tumira, anonymous walang pangalang na binabanggit…
There was no any proof Joey never mind fun of the Ultra Stampede, kaya nga nagkaiyakan pa nong time of the issue baka nya Channel 2 rin ang may pakana nun eh…
And he wasn't making of the street kids, he was making fun of the host and the show because the kids who wants to really join the DoDooDooo Dadada segment never get a chance even though they push their way and almost cry parang lang makasayaw at bigyan ng premyo!
The next day, EB had all the kids on the show dance on the platform para makisaya at makisayaw with host comparing kids actually having fun in their show…
Kasi nga naman ang bilis mag-accuse ni Willie and pointing fingers directly, Joey was just asking questions kung bakit nga naman dalawa ang numero sa box…
Ok, sabi nila there was cheating sa official statement… Kung totoo man yung scam or hindi, bakit hindi na lang sabihin kong bakit may dalawang slides of numbers inside the color violet?
It's a wonder how people refuse to believe the simple explanation of how a freaking wheel of paper works.
And the only people making a big deal about this are GMA, GMA columnists, and GMA loyalists.
Walang kwenta ang kadramahan ek ek ni Willie Revillame. Obvious naman na pinapalaki niya ang issue when in fact Joey's article was not even about willie or wowowee. The article was Joey's reaction to the Banker's statement in Deal or No Deal. May konting kapilyuhan lang si Joey sa last sentence niya at wala siyang binanggit na willie or wowowee sa article niya. Bakit masyadong defensive si Willie? Tinamaan siya?! LOL! Kasi po GUILTY si Willie/Wowowee. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nila mae-explain kung bakit may dalawang numero sa isang wheel. BAKIT nga ba? Pero patay-malisya sila. Gumawa sila ng "controversy" para ma-divert ang attention ng tao at ginagagawa ni Willie/Wowowee na masama ang image ni Joey…para si Willie naman ang mukhang santo. Tactics ito ng ABS. Sagutin ni Willie/Wowowee ang cheating sa game show nila. Bakit nga ba dalawa ang numero ng wheel na yon?
hay, hay, hay………
at least now may bagong issue at nakalimutan na si angel at ang kanyang moneyger. ang saya-saya diba?
i just hope that willie and ABS-CBN would stick to the issue and explain to the people what really happened, e di tapos!
ang siste e, imbes na issue ang sagutin e dun nakaturo sa ibang tao, e wala namang kinalaman si joey, ang eat bulaga at GMA sa nangyari sa show ni willie.
ano ba yan??? stop using national TV for your personal gain willie. i just hope that all agencies concern will put an end to this.
calling MTRCB, DTI, shld we call on the Congress and Senate as well? bakit di kaya isama na ang PANA at eban ang advertisements sa show ni willie tutal they are not naman daw for profit e!
It?s disgusting how people believed the simple explanation of how a freaking wheel of paper works.
Mahirap kausapin ang mga taong nagtatangatangahan lang o talagang tanga. Just because you are a fan of that show, you will accept everything that they do? Isang katangahang masasabi, people need explanation not a simple excuse words from the host. Ano ba ang mahirap ipaliwanag sa nangyari or they need more time para makagawa sila ng magandang script and at least believable ang kanilang explanation. Look what happened to OA, she went to London and stayed there for a couple of weeks para makapaggawa sila ng script tungkol sa kanyang pag over da bakod.
Kaya iyong mga nagbubulag bulagan dyan na pilit nagcocomment dito at pilit binubulag ang iba pang bloggers para gumaya sa kanya, please shut up na lang.

Joey's harsh comments can be annoying but Willie's pleads are even more annoying.
Akala ko ba HUMBLE si Willie?
Eh nag-a-ala Joey de Leon din pala siya on a SMALLER SCALE, eh!
Look, if you happened to watch some of Wowowee's episodes, you notice that Willie praises ASF Dancers and Anna Feliciano and at the same time… bashing SEXBOMB DANCERS! Nagpapasaring na rin just like Joey de Leon… ngayon paiyak-iyak pa siya sa patama ni Joey de Leon… LUDICROUS!
@paolo_pascual… for sure mga TARKATANIC RABID KAPAMILYA FANS ang pinatatamaan mo! Ganyan ang mga iyan eh! and as for OA… It's surely no other than Angel Locsin and her piggy manager Becky Aguila. I guess planadong-planado talaga ang paglipat. Palalabasin na nag-aaral sa London kuno pero has ABS-CBN NEWS featured na talagang nag-aaral si Angel Locsin or just making some docu ek-ek na andun si Angel with Pinoy residents para lang palabasing nag-aaral kuno roon.
dc222, don't be ignorant. i myself am not loyal to any network (i don't even have a bloody subscription to either tfc or gma tv), but i have to say i found joey's article to be witty and insightful, and i do find it ridiculous to be airing grievances and crying like a baby on a publicly televised gameshow. just basing my opinion on what i've read so far though. i do abhor this whole war of the networks, and i find this division and unhealthy competition to be a hindrance to the progress of our film and television industry there.
anyway. i don't care for either shows, and i've never seen wowowee, so, i can't really make too much of a sound judgment on the current main issue. however, i do agree with rickey's point, and that is, the best way to make a difference in people's lives (particularly with the indigent) is by advancing the healthcare and education systems there in the philippines. i'm not discounting the fact that in the past these variety/game shows have given away many prices; they have helped a lot of people financially and these shows do provide escape because of their entertainment value. at the same time, these shows exploit their own contestants. in the end, the shows' purpose is to gain profit and ratings for their respective networks. from a bigger perspective, it's more ideal to promote a proper form of education and medical assistance to those who really need it instead of damn, insignificant ratings. likewise, we should disseminate the idea that all our people (poor and rich) are capable of fending off for themselves through hard work, not just through "miracles" or contests or showbiz. all these would achieve more long term and positive results. otherwise, the biggest load of crap would be to remain an ignoramous and to live vicariously through our effing celebrities.

Bakit Ganun?
Sinasabi ni Willie na Wala silang Paki-alam sa Ratings pero Bakit kapag Nananalo ang Wowowee sa Ratings Toodo-Pasaring sila sa EB?
http://mgdrreyes.blogspot.com mgdr
from pep.
Willie yesterday, August 29, openly questioned Joey's intentions for allegedly throwing snide remarks ever since the "Wilyonaryo" controversy erupted."Mr. Joey de Leon, nirerespeto pa din kita. Huwag mong hintayin na mawala respeto ko," Willie exasperatedly challenged the Eat Bulaga! host
Refusing to directly drop Willie's name, Joey throughout his dialogue referred to the Wowowee host in the third person.
"Hindi pa po pinapaliwanag ng taong ito bakit nagkagulo-gulo… Bakit hindi n'yo muna ipaliwanag bago [ninyo] ipasa ang sisi at para malihis ang atensiyon ng humihingi ng tanong na bakit nagkaganun. Inuna n'yo pang tirahin yung ibang tao para, ano ba, malihis ang atensiyon?
"Ang pagsasalita ko pong ito ay alang-alang sa milyun-milyong Pilipino na nanonood ng telebisyon at humihingi ng paliwanag. Sigurado po ?yon, humihingi kayo ng paliwanag. Bakit nagkaganun? Para lang sa spirit ng fairness siguro dapat natin paliwanag."
The veteran comedian-host then let out a food-for-thought to his counterpart: "Kaibigan, para sa ?yo ?to, explain before you complain. Paliwanag mo muna. Pag naipaliwanag mo na nang maayos ?Ah kasi ganito kasi e, nagkamali, o, ganun.' Wala, e, ang nangyari parang binalewala mo ang gusto ng Pilipino at ng mga sumusubaybay din sa ?yo na ipaliwanag mo ?yung detalye."
Joey also called Willie to learn when to really owe up and explain sensitive issues to be fair especially to the viewers.
"Pag-aralan mo na magpaliwanag kung may dapat kang ipaliwanag na mga ?diumano' ay pagkakamali mo dahil pare-pareho tayo ng ginagawa, e, para sa tao. Lagi mong sinasabi ?para sa bayan,' pero yung mga ganung pagkakataon, paliwanag natin. Kung ano man ang kalabasan ang reaksiyon ng tao sa ?yo, tanggapin natin," advised Joey.
He offered another recommendation or two, but this time in typical Joey de Leon fashion.
"At isa pa, importante sa lahat, pag-aralan mong umiyak ng may luha," he jested breaking the seriousness of the moment.
Taking another shot, Joey then proceeded to pun Willie's pet name to his contestants to conclude his speech.
"At sa mga taga-Senado nga pala, binabati ko, nanonood. Alam n'yo inuuna n'yo ?yang ?Hello Garci,' bakit hindi n'yo muna unahin ?tong ?Hello Papi'?"

You know, in Philosophy, this might be what would be called as ARGUMENTUM AD VERUCUNDIAM – which is appeal to shame/ego, which, in layman's terms, would be called as face-saving. =) At least that's what our Einstein of a prof told us.
It ends at this point.
http://mgdrreyes.blogspot.com mgdr
aint he smart?!hehe,
direct to the point..and bakit kasi nililihis sa kanya, e wala siya dun sa issue!!goodness!!
http://mgdrreyes.blogspot.com mgdr
any proof that joey did that?
actually, the point here is about the wilyonaryo thing..not about joey, saying something!!
marami ng naglalabasan nito. joey did not start it! -
le meow, you're right. and isn't it also an apeal to pity? and it's a big fallacy as far as rhetoric goes.
melanie, it is still for gain in the end. the main purpose of game shows (whether it's eat bulaga or wowowee) is not really to help people. i'm not saying people aren't helped. of course, they are, but as for the "main" purpose, it's for entertainment, for profit and for ratings, for viewership. that's how the bloody networks get their "pondo." they gain their pondo because the more popular their shows are (meaning the number of viewers they get), the more advertising they will receive, which essentially fund the effing shows. it's not all nice and rosy as you paint it out to be.
education of the mind does not come from game shows. it comes from proper funding of schools, from reading books, from being self-efficient, from family, etc. so, in that sense, rickey's point is well validated.
"bukod p ang wowowee na tumutulong kng wla ang wowowee wlang pgku2hanan ng pondo pra ma ishare sa ibang mhhrap. of course kumkta ang wowowee sa advertisements thats why anjn yn, pro kta dn nmn n tlgang naisshare nla and nkk2long dn ang TFC through wowowee. "
also, right there proves rickey's point, that people are led to rely too much on game shows to alleviate the financial sufferings of the poor. where exactly is the education in that? is it putting books in schools? sure, some of the winnings can help one family's struggles, but in the over all scheme of things, on a national socioeconomic level, how are those funds from game shows advancing the lives of the filipino people?
by the way, melanie, i apologize if i came off too assertive. it's nothing personal, so, i hope you won't be insulted. i just really think rickey made a good point.
Honestly, I don't think ABS-CBN would cheat. They are the ones helping many kababayans. Mapamahirap, gustong mag-umpisa nang business (kabuhayan), etc.
Teka lang…..alam ba ninyo ang nangyari sa pagbukas ng box dito sa video nang wilyonaryo? Alam ba natin na inside ALL those boxes are ZERO?… dahil may nabasa ako't may nagsabi na – ZERO ang default number nang lahat nang box which yon ang nakalagay sa lahat nang boxes then they put the prices on top of that zero, kaysa naman palitan ang mga ito isa-isa. Hindi naman naexplain. Hay naku!
Oh, ano? Does GMA-7 or Joey de Leon knows that info? I guess not dahil gusto nila laging manira nang tao…tulad ni Angel Locsin at Willie Revillame.
Alam nyo, I do believe kaya tumawa si Willie nung binuksan nya ang violet at zero ang nakalagay ay dahil yun ang default number nang lahat nang box, kaya tumawa't binale wala nya ito at hindi i-nexplain.
Admit it…naging malaki ang issue tungkol sa zero at tinawag na pandaraya dahil ang ibang taong pinangananak nang mahilig manira nang kapwa. -

joey's interview-phone patch-
Bago pa ang programang ?Eat Bulaga? sa GMA 7, nagpaunlak na ng panayam sa radyo ang host nitong si Joey de Leon na kababalik pa lamang mula sa Hong Kong.
At sa naturang panayam ay maaanghang na salita ang binitiwan nito bilang sagot sa naunang mga pahayag ng host ng kakumpitensyang ?Wowowee? sa karibal na network na ABS-CBN 2 na si Willie Revillame.
Dahil sa TFC (The Filipino Channel), madaling nalaman ng buong mundo ang mensahe na ipinarating ni Willie kay Joey nang magsalita siya sa Wowowee noong Miyerkules nang tanghali.
Ilang minuto pagkatapos magsalita ni Willie, nakatanggap kami ng text message mula sa isang kaibigan na nagbabakasyon sa Australia.
Napanood nila sa TFC ng kanyang mga kasama ang emotional statement ni Willie na nakikiusap kay Joey na huwag paglaruan ang pagkatao niya dahil hindi siya mandaraya.
Teary-eyed si Willie habang ikinukuwento nito ang mga pagpaparinig ni Joey tungkol sa insidente na nangyari sa Wilyonaryo segment noong
August 21.Mahaba ang litanya ni Willie at naging personal ang mga pagbatikos niya laban kay Joey. Mariin na itinanggi ng Wowowee host na may dayaan na naganap sa kanyang programa.
Hinamon pa niya ang ABS-CBN management na tanggalin siya bilang host ng show kung mapapatunayan na totoo ang bintang laban sa kanya.
Sa mga hindi nakapanood sa Wowowee, hindi nila mami-miss ang pinag-uusapan na episode dahil naka-post ang 8-minute video sa http://www.youtube.com.
Inilabas ni Willie ang sama ng kanyang loob dahil palagi na lamang daw siyang "tinitira" ni Joey na itinuturing niya na idolo at inspirasyon.
Naging emotional si Willie, lalo na nang balikan niya ang nakaraan. Ang pagpapaalam niya kay Joey na magkakaroon na siya ng sariling noontime show sa ABS-CBN, ang pagkikita nila sa Las Vegas at pagpapakuha niya ng litrato na kasama si Joey at ang kaso ng kanyang nirerespeto na TV host/comedian.
Sinumbatan din ni Willie si Joey na hindi man lamang ito tumawag sa kanya para makiramay noong mamatay sa stampede ang 71 tao sa unang anibersaryo ng Wowowee sa ULTRA.
Muling inulit ni Willie ang kanyang madalas na sabihin. Sa pamamagitan ng Wowowee, gusto niya na matulungan ang mga mahihirap at makapagpasaya ng mga tao.
Inabangan kahapon ng buong bayan ang Eat Bulaga dahil gusto nilang marinig ang mga sagot ni Joey sa mga paratang laban sa kanya ni Willie.
Bago pa nagsalita si Joey sa Eat Bulaga, nagpaunlak siya ng phone-patch interview sa Double A sa Double B, ang morning radio program nina Ali Sotto at Arnold Clavio sa dzBB.
Hindi napanood ni Joey ang pagsasalita ni Willie sa TV pero narinig niya ang mga pahayag ng Wowowee host sa radio habang papauwi siya ng bahay mula sa airport.
Nagbakasyon sa Hong Kong ang cast ng Eat Bulaga at ang mga tirada sa kanya ni Willie ang balita na sumalubong kay Joey noong hapon ng Miyerkules.
Composed na composed si Joey habang iniinterbyu nina Ali at Arnold pero halatang-halata sa tono ng kanyang pananalita ang galit na nararamdaman laban kay Willie.
Ang mga sumusunod ang bahagi ng mga sagot ni Joey sa mga katanungan nina Ali at Arnold:
"Natawa lang ako.. Ganoon pala ?yon. Wala siyang alam. Mababaw. Hindi niya kayang magpaliwanag. Hindi niya kaya na mag-sorry."
"Lahat nang sinabi niya, punto por punto, sablay lahat. Isa lang ang half-truth doon, ?yung nagpaalam siya sa akin bago pumasok (as Wowowee host). Totoo ?yon, nagpunta siya sa akin…Tingin ko, hindi paalam. Pinagyabangan ako. Sinungaling talaga.
"Magaling maggawa ng drama. Dinadrama niya lahat… Mahal ko po kayooo.. May taong ganoon. Malansa…traydor.
"Hindi ko binabanggit ang pangalan niya. Hindi ko binabanggit ang show niya. Di sana, idinemanda niya ako. Daldal siya nang daldal.
"Nanggagamit, ginagamit ako. Wala lang sigurong…Umiiwas sa isyu.. Dina-damage control.
"Bakit ganoon? Bakit siya, hindi siya magsalita? Buti pa ?yung kompanya niya (referring to ABS-CBN?s statement)."
Nang ulitin ni Arnold ang sinabi ni Willie na mahirap maging solo host ng isang show, ito ang opinyon ni Joey:
"Loko pala siya, puwede siyang kumuha ng kasama pero.. Paano, gusto niya siya ang bida.
Ayaw niya na masapawan siya ng iba. Mayabang talaga ang animal na ?yan. Kaya ba niyang mag-show ng anim?
Bago natapos ang interview sa kanya nina Ali at Arnold, nagsalita si Joey na naaawa ito kay Willie. To quote him:
"Naaawa nga ako dahil bobo…"
ayan na nagsalita na!!

hi sophia! very well said!
mgdr, thanks. i just hope i didn't offend anyone too much. sorry to dc222, too. it's nothing personal.
It's all right Sophia.
But I don't think I'm ignorant if I can accept a simple explanation.
About the advancing education. Eat Bulaga and Wowowee do the exact same thing in terms of having people play games and win prizes. So if Wowowee should close up shop because it's "exploiting" poor people, then EB would have to do the same?
Yes, I'm sorry for calling you ignorant, dc222. It's just that, you can't claim that everyone who questions the issue with the Wowowee controversy are all GMA loyalists or GMA staff members or so on. Granted devout supporters would side with their respective networks, but still, it's jumping the gun to generalize everyone under one category. I just caught a clip of the Wowowee incident on YouTube, and even I do wonder, but at the same time, as I said, I don't watch the show so, I can't make a proper judgment. And as you'll notice I haven't offered a claim that Willie's a cheater. I really can't. The only unfavorable remark I've made about him is call him a cry baby. But eh, that's because he really did cry on national TV, and personally, I don't like it when adult men cry over a bruised ego or something that I feel is trivial. I've seen grown men cry over something much more substantial than just an accusation of cheating.
And if you read all my posts carefully, I mentioned game shows—be it Wowowee or Eat Bulaga—exploit their contestants. I was careful to say "game shows" in general to make it clear that I'm not siding with any one network or any one show. Otherwise, doing so would make my own arguments (particularly about the network wars) moot. I hope this satisfies your question.
Game shows are supposed to be entertaining, but they're not meant to resolve the national deficit and improve the socioeconomic conditions in the Philippines. Though they help individuals, they shouldn't promote the idea that game shows exist to resolve the struggles of the Filipino people—that isn't their primary purpose. At the end of the day, when the network executives meet or the staff and the hosts of the show meet, one of the top things or maybe even the number one thing they will talk about in the conference room is how well they did on their ratings. Having high ratings would mean the shows stay on air; ratings and advertising are the shows' livelihood.
I totally understand Sophia. That question wasn't even directed at you personally. After reading Rickey's original post… "Wowowee exists for profit. … By running a game show like this, you are making them rely on luck and miracles. Walang himala."
I couldn't help but think, ummm… doesn't Eat Bulaga do the same thing? It's a game show too, and just as many people rely on it to get lucky with tak-tak-ing or whatever game they have.With the generalization, the whole issue wasn't a big deal until Joey made snide comments everyday on EB (and Startalk!) and GMA paid columnists "reported" on it. (We all know ABS and GMA have their paid columnists to write anything in the best interests of their network.)
Like Willie said, no one is complaining… other than Joey, staunch Kapusos, and people who have always hated Wowowee/Willie. Fans of Wowowee are of course not complaining. But even those who watch the show pa-minsan-minsan can understand it was an honest mistake. No contestant is complaining, no formal complaint has been filed, no one is suing Wowowee…
Also, about Willie crying/being upset/angry… Joey and sometimes the Sottos have made below the belt jokes and comments about Willie and the show itself. Willie has repeatedly said how he idolizes them or looks up to them as institutions of noontime shows. If Willie makes a joke (never malicious or accusatory or insulting), he always follows up with something like "Nah, biro lang. Idol ko kayo"
From making fun of the stampede to making fun of street children and everything else, I'd probably have gone off on them a looong time ago. So Willie has shown a lot of restraint for only speaking up now after months, years of their big mouths. -
dc222, yeah, I've read a lot from both camps. And even I can't really form an opinion either way because I would have to watch both shows regularly to make a proper judgment. Right now, it seems the line between right and wrong is really blurred. There are good arguments coming from both sides, and there are also rather bad ones. Whatever, it's another out-of-hand controversy in our industry. I think it would just be best to stick to the main issue (the particular wheel game in question) and not drag anything else from the past or other incidents. I think if it's not relevant, then, it shouldn't be attached to any argument, but I have seen lots of comments and that isn't the case for some. Ah well. Two weeks ago, I assumed a new and bigger controversy would soon overshadow the Angel Locsin scandal. Sure enough, here we go. More than likely, this Wowoweee and Willie vs. Joey controversy will be overshadowed again. Perhaps another STD proclamation from Kris? Hehe. Sorry. I just had to take a jab at that. I know that issue's old, but I just found out recently she had done that, and I'm not particularly fond of her.
Actually, dc222, I just visited PEP, and this caught my eye: "Senator Mar Roxas to conduct probe on "Hello Pappy" controversy". I haven't read the article, but based on that headline, I'm assuming a formal complaint against Wowowee has been filed. Whether the formal complaint came from Joey or GMA or concerned viewers of either network . . . who really knows.
The investigation may be bad or it may be good. In the end, things could be clarified and this hoopla can be put to rest.
That's the thing with Philippine showbiz though. You bring out every single thing in a person or group's (maybe a network) life and use it against them.
If nothing is to be found, you make something up. It's an unfortunate truth about this "great" entertainment industry in the Philippines. -
Yeah, I read about Roxas. But apparently according to this Inquirer article posted at PEX (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21367937&postcount=340), neither the DTI nor the MTRCB have received formal complaints.
The DTI says they have no authority with these kinds of matters, while Laguardia herself said the episode was neither "too explicit nor too violent," therefore didn't violate any MTRCB regulations.
Well, our industry's been long overdue for major changes. It's really sad. I think we should do away with the studio system, and give the artists (actors, writers, directors, cinematographers) a bit more freedom to choose the kind of work they want to take on. And I think our celebs need to practice a bit more tact and be less open about their opinions and personal life. There will always be detractors, and that's a fact, but that's something everyone who chooses to be in the industry will have to learn to live with. If the more internationally renowned celebs have to put up with paparazzis stalking them (not even just 2 or 3 feet away) and do it with class (without uttering a sound), then, our local celebs should be able to deal with whatever's thrown their way, with class and dignity.
dc222, yeah, who knows about any formal complaints. Whether it's the MTRCB or the Senate that does the investigation, the issue needs to be put to rest or at least, it needs to be mellowed down. And if no investigation is conducted, then, it's c'est la vie, but I don't think that would quiet down any rumblings. This issue's overkill.
Actually, I've made up my mind. I'm annoyed at both Willie and Joey (even though I was impressed with his article). They're both grown men. Doesn't matter who started it. They're both adults, so, they're supposed to muster up a semblance of maturity, and they haven't done that. Ah, Philippine showbiz . . . always expect loud bickerings between celebs.
Oh, I love this! "Game shows are supposed to be entertaining, but they?re not meant to resolve the national deficit and improve the socioeconomic conditions in the Philippines. Though they help individuals, they shouldn?t promote the idea that game shows exist to resolve the struggles of the Filipino people?that isn?t their primary purpose."
I totally agree! Im sick and tired of people saying that their show's helping poor people, blah blah blah! What a pathetic strategy to gain sympathy of televiewers.
But then… "ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES."
Anak ng tupang exploitation ng mahihirap. Rot in hell, Willie. Isama mo na ang mga Lopez.
Hmmm… I saw this on TV and it looks like Willie was trying to cry but couldn't squeeze out tears.

nakahanap nanaman si rickey nang pam bato sa Abs-Cbn..ikaw kaya rickey ilan na yung natulungan mo?mga hindi mo naman kaanu-ano pero naglaan ka tulong?
kahit ano naman pag iiexplain ang gawin kung ano parin ang nasa utak mo..yung parin ang paniniwalaan mo..ganun din ako..
sa mga naniniwala sa abs-cbn mas madali nilang maiintindihan..pero sa mga katulad mong maka kabila..mas madali ang manira..
http://mgdrreyes.blogspot.com mgdr
hala!!pati ba naman si kuya rickey, may issue na rin?
again, it's kuya rickey's opinion!!nagkataon lang na mas may nakita siya sa abs than gma-kaya siya nagrereact, but that doesnt mean na maka gma na siya..
nagcocoment din naman siya sa gma shows e.
GOGO GOGO GO GO GOGO >>>> ABS ! ! ! yun lng bawwwww awwwwwwwwwwwww….mwaaaaah paolo13,..

Narito po, mula kay Elsie Joy Palma
: "Paki lang po kay Willie
Revillame, 'wag naman niya masyadong iangat ang sarili niya at
ipangalandakan sa tv na marami siyang natutulungang mahihirap."Excuse me po, sina Rosa Rosal at Boots Anson-Roa ang dami ring
natulungan, pero never natin nakita o napanood na nagsisigaw sa tv
para lang ipagmalaki na marami silang natutulungan."Ang pagtulong nina Ms. Rosal at Ms. Roa, walang kapalit na
hinihingi. Tumutulong sila hindi para mag-rate ang mga show nila. At
hindi nila ginagamit ang pagtulong para lang maabsuwelto sa mga kaso.
Si Willie po, everytime na may kasong kinakaharap, lagi niyang
binubuwelta sa tao na gusto lang niya makapagpasaya at marami siyang
natutulunganng mahihirap na kababayan."Utang na loob ang tunay na pagtulong, hindi 'yan pinamamalita at
hindi 'yan ginagamit na kasangkapan para lang kampihan ka ng tao sa
mga issue against you."'Ika nga ni FPJ, ang ginagawa ng kanang kamay, 'wag ipamalita ng
kaliwang kamay. Lalo pa kung hindi naman sa sarili mong bulsa galing
ang tinutulong mo sa tao. Maraming artista at hindi artista ang
tumutulong sa mahihirap nang walang publicity. 'Yan po ang tunay na
pagtulong!"So, Willie, enough na ang pag-aangat sa sarili na marami kang
natutulungang tao. Nakakaalibadbad pakinggan. Walang sincerity."P.S Kung nagrereklamo si Willie na mahirap mag-host ng nang-iisa ng
3 hours, eh, bakit ayaw nilang kumuha ng co-host? Dahil takot si
Willie matalbugan ng makukuha nilang co-host? Pati ba naman 'yan,
kailangan pang ipamarili sa tao, as if naman siya lang ang
nihihirapan sa show niya? Eh, sumusuweldo naman siya kahit
nahihirapan siya. So, ano ang inirereklamo niya? -
http://mgdrreyes.blogspot.com mgdr
Mula kay Emma Caparas : "Dapat kay Valerie
Concepcion mag-aral si Willie umiyak nang may luha. Aba, mas malakas
pa ang tulo ng luha ni Valerie kay Willie. Kung si Willie, kulang sa
luha, si Valerie oa naman. At puwede pakisabi kay Willie, 'wag n'ya
laging isumbat na marami siyang natutulungan at napapasayang tao.
Hindi lang siya ang artista na nakakatulong at nakakapagpasaya ng
tao. Kahit si Mura at Mahal,sa maliit nilang paraan may napapasayang
tao. Kaya 'wag niyang ipagyabang na siya ang sugo ng Diyos dito sa
mundo na nakakatulong at nakakapagpasaya ng
tao." -

oo nga naman
Ang galing ni direk manahan, naisip na ang paggeguest sa mga sundalo sa Wowowie. Ngayon maganda na namn ang tingin ng mga tao sa show dahil paying tribute sa mga sundalo ang effect nila. Natabunan na naman ang hello puppy scandal. I am sure ang senado magdadalawang isip na kung itutuloy p aang hearing dahil nagpakita na agad ng good motive ang show. Ngayon nga naman good na sila sa mata ng mga bulag na audience nila. Para silang mga bata na matapos paiyakin, bibigyan ng kendi para tumahan na. They are trying to show na maganda talaga ang hangarin nila para sa taong bayan. Bakit kaya ngayon nila naisip ang tribute na ito just right after the scandal. Hindi naman iyon ang talgang scheduled para sa araw na iyon, ask Alfie Lorenzo. Mga member ng PMPC ang dapat na maglalaro sa Wilyonagoyo tayo but pinalitan agad all of the sudden. Is there something fishy there? Are they trying to brive the Senate and Pipol of the Philippines, you decide?
maria, true, abs and wowowee have helped a lot of people, but it is still only a game show. don't try to paint it as a superb charity program. all game shows are mainly for entertainment. the help they afford others is a bonus, but when it comes down to it, these shows exist for their own profit and reputation.
and since this is rickey's blog, he has every right to assert his opinion. we also don't know much about rickey's personal and professional life. who knows? maybe he does his own charity work. maybe he volunteers. whatever. it's not a fair assumption that rickey has not done anything to help others, be a fil citizen, a fil-am, an american, etc. also, he is not a famous celebrity or a large corporation, so, it would be unfair to compare him to wowowee or willie or even joey.
you said: "sa mga naniniwala sa abs-cbn mas madali nilang maiintindihan..pero sa mga katulad mong maka kabila..mas madali ang manira.."
but if you're also a steadfast supporter of any one [particular] network, wouldn't you also be blinded by your own devotion? you lose any sense of objectivity if you've already made up your mind that you will remain devoted to any one network. so, it's not so much that pro-abs people have the faculty to properly understand and be objective about the issue; they are more inclined to buy into whatever abs sells them because they are blinded by their devotion to the network. the same goes for pro-gma individuals or pro-whatever other network.
so, really, it's all just opinions clashing.
Dapat lang talaga na magexplain na si Mr W, it looks like na marami pa talaga syang mga blinded audience. Magexplain sya and then tanggapin kung ano ang hatol ng taong bayan. Kung tanggap pa rin sya ng mga tao then be it, tanggap na rin ng mga detractors nya na ganon yon. Ganon kasimple!
well, maria got it half right about one thing. if people are on opposing sides (in this case, abs vs. gma), then, madili manira ng isa't isa. it's easy to claim things against each other when people are decidedly devoted to any one network. there's really no objectivity on either side, and no opinion is absolutely right. i know this is a long shot, but sana respetuhin ang opinion ng bawa't isa at huwag gawing personalan. i hope i don't offend anyone, and i'm sorry if i do. we're not above each other, but i believe we are capable of being above immature and judgmental retorts.

==================================OWMIGAAD! She's alive after 48 years of hiatus!!!!
Ikaw ba ang balahurang commenter ng PEx na si madam.henrietta na kaliga nina eva kulaw, emma mao at redblood4ever?
Yes Rickey! For sure, marami ka na namang nakahandang kasagutan para sa isang TARKATANIC FANATIC na ito. Personal attacks ang inatake niya, as usual… hindi man lang makapaghimay (maria dolores, ano pa nga ba?) ng logic regarding the incident.
Dolores, why don't you follow the universal rationale EXPLAIN BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN? Kase, you do nothing but to COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN AND COMPLAIN and ATTACK, ATTACK AND ATTACK without proper logic.
If you are going to assume that Rickey is a paid blogger, then we can assure that you are an also paid attacker for ABS-CBN since you are way damn defensive for a humble-kunong network like the said network.
First off, WOWOWEE is not a charity institution. It's such a freakin game show and nothing else. Pagtulong na lang ang plus but not the main concept. Bakit, WOWOWEE lang ba ang tanging game show na NAKAKATULONG SA MAHIHIRAP? Si Willie lang ba ang NAKAKATULONG SA MAHIHIRAP? Ang daming personalities whom you can regard as REAL PHILANTROPHISTS that are not as famous as Willie, but they don't need to use the poor people to uplift their public image. They don't need to exploit the people up to their corresponding unwanted tragedies.
Charity giving lang ba and feeding-the-poor lang ba ang pagtulong sa kapwa? No. The best way and always been the most prescribed way to uplift the masses' conditions is EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE TO HELP THEMSELVES and NOT WAITING TO BE HELP kasi balang araw mapapagod din ang mga tumutulong sa inyo. WILLIE will soon get tired of helping-kuno.
ABS-CBN almost 'killed' people for their MISMANAGEMENT of those involved in STAMPEDE. -

Sana magcomment si JDL tungkol kay Becky ltwin sis-cristy permin para naman mas maganda ang dating, tutal si Mr W ay sumuko na and itong si Becky look alike naman ang nagsasalita. Go JDL, ipakita mo sa kanila kung sino ang may utak.
http://condessaroxy.multiply.com RoxyBathoryBiatchee
paolo, I constantly seeing Cristy Fermin's column that usually contains nothing but comparison between Joey and Willie and the so-called complaints from viewers to her about Joey's so-called ill-mannered behavior. Hindi ko na lang binabasa. I know naman how ludicrous Cristy Fermin writes her article.
There are two types of people in showbiz, iyong totoong tao at iyong nagpapakitang tao. I salute JDL dahil he belongs to the former type, matagal na sa showbiz pero ang pagiging totoo ay andoon pa rin. Meron mga taong kabagobago pa lang sa showbiz pero alam mo na na puro pakitang tao lang ang ginagawa.
Mga showbiz personalities na totoo:
Lolit Solis (totoo pero she is still the Scam Queen)
Alfie Lorenzo (specially to Piolo)
Kris Aquino
Richard Gomez
Mo Twister
Anabelle Rama
Sweet Lapuz -
Here is my list of platikadang tao:
Cristy Permin
Boy Abunda
German Moreno
Sharon Cuneta
Willie Revilliame
Ruffa Guitterez (opposite ng kanyang mother)
Mother Lili
Ai Ai delas Alas
Rossana Roces
OA and her moneyger(sorry I can't mention her name, nangingilabot ako)And who else????

what if isama mo rin si Pete Ampoloquio-harabeuji(korean term for "lolo"…echos…wala lang, feel ko lang tawagin…or shall we say halmoni or lolah? hahaha!) sa mga TOTOONG TAO? or even si Peter Ledesma at iba pang mga host ng CHIKA MO CHIKA KO? Tutal naman kapag sila ang nagsalita talaga namang walang preno at NO-HOLDS BARRED talaga. Proven na iyan since I've seen their show at kahit hindi kasing-bongga ng Startalk, The Buzz at Showbiz Central eh puro info at katatawanan (matatawa ka na lang sa mga malulutong na halakhak nila)ang mararanasan mo.
Agree ako na si ANNABELLE RAMA-ajumma na sa TOTOO list. Granted na mukhang pera, social climber at mahadera pero never siyang nagpakitang uliran at mabuti di gaya ng junak niyang si Ruffa.
Saan mo pwedeng ilagay si Gretch? Kasi hati ako kung totoo or hindi siya eh.

? VIC SOTTO… well, 50-50…kasi hindi kasing-masalita ni Joey kaya hindi mo malaman kung mabait or baddie eh.

at the end, LIFE IS ENTERTAINMENT viewed in a Spherical TV!!!
Agree ako na Mukha ngang plastik si na Boy Abunda and Cristy Fermin. ewan ko ba pero si Cristy Fermin na yata ang pinaka mahal ng ABS CBN na columnista siguro kasi kahit ano pasulat nila ginagawa naman ni cristy -
Dont make me laugh dc222! In my point of view you're the one trying to "beat down" the competetion. Are you an agent of those money laundering bastards? Making fun of what? A stampede? To think that EB has to do that to win in a competition is itself a form of foolish pride! You think so highly that this newbie show actually has that capability dont make me laugh! If you want to bring that case about the stampede back up ok let me ask you this. Who was the money faced jerk who lured the people into a stampede with money anyway? If you like that show then so be it but from my point of view you're doing what you've been saying what EB was doing… "attacking the management". As for Willy… HAH! Stop appealing for pity that's a big fallacy try winning this argument by stating evidences for your side not by getting the hearts of innocent, naive simpletons because it's pathetic.

"Deeeeelicious! Super moist dark chocolate cake. Tastes even better days later."
"This was yummy. I liked the fluffiness and the fact that it wasn't too sweet. I added at squeeze of lemon juice as well just to gift it a little stronger citrus taste. I would imagine a dashe of honey would tast nice as well. I would defintely recommend using a bigger pan though."
"Delicious! My hubby doesn't like celery so I swapped it out for some mushrooms. I would imagine broccoli would also work well. I will definitely be making this pot pie again and again. A classic!"
"Love, love, love this recipe! I have made this several times and absolutely love the flavor! The recipe only calls for shrimp, but I use a combination of shrimp and longostino. My husband isn't a big seafood lover so I have also on occasion added an extra cup of chicken broth to subdue the seafood taste. This version was also incredibly good. You ..."
"Killer soup!!! Even better than the tortilla soup at El Torito. I have a husband who hate celery so I subsituted it with mexican beans and fresh red chili peppers. Also, don't forget the fresh slices of avacado for topping! This will definitely become a staple for us both as a side and main dish."
"Wow! Sooo yummy! I ended up adding a little bit of red wine. I also cut a tiny bit back on the sugar and added ketchup instead for sweetness (I know it sounds weird, but we do this in Scandinavia). This sauce was so delicious. It was also very easy to prepare. No need for can sauce anymore."
"Great basic recipe for crusty french bread. This recipe delivers as the outside of the bread is crispy while the inside is soft. I think the next time I make this bread I will double the yeast as I have seen other users suggest. Also, I will sprinkle some sea salt over the top for extra flavor and texture."
"This is without a doubt my new go-to recipe for cupcakes. They are so easy to make and have a wonderful light and fluffy texture."

Re: The SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT in TOS !!!
As for holding up RFM to the very high standards of the fifth ST movie... well, never mind. My favorite ST moment is in City On the Edge of Forever, in the scene where McCoy arrives in the past. The whole scene's my favorite, but then there's the moment at the end where the (apparently) homeless man fools with McCoy's phaser, silently destroying himself with no witnesses. There are actually more conflicting emotions in that moment and scene than I can think of and talk about, right now.

Re: The SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT in TOS !!!
I can't say what my favorite moment is, since there are so many. But one I really like is the scene in Bread and Circuses where McCoy and Spock are incarcerated. That dialogue is excellent - it tells us so much about the characters and their dynamic.
there is no other wisdom and no other hope for us but that we grow wise. |

Re: The SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT in TOS !!!
It is true that the 'Forget' scene, does have a bit of an uncomfortable invasiveness about it; not the type of violation that goes on with Catholic Priests, mind you, but it most certainly smacks of something along the lines of a 23rd century GHB (date rape drug) element about it. Also, good cite regarding the B&C scene with SPOCK & McCOY, an outstanding moment of character exploration through dialog to be sure. First rate observations!

Re: The SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT in TOS !!!
This is as it should be. All's well that ends well, or, in modern parlance: Satisfying Ending Is Satisfying. I understand all the arguments against the "...Forget" moment, but it works for me every time, because of how it's handled: with the phrase from George Duning's "Empath" music hovering in the background, the soft gong as the strings pause briefly and then return with the volume slowly reduced so as to emphasize Spock's voice when it comes in - "...Forget" - and then a quick cut to the ship exiting, credits, etc. One of the very best pieces of work by the film editor and the music editor in the whole third season, to be sure. My choice for an off-the-beaten-track great moment is Miranda Jones' line in the ship's arboretum, in another Duning-scored episode, "Is There in Truth No Beauty?": "I've never been to Earth." To me that has always conveyed a lot: Meeting a human who we know isn't originally from Earth conveys something about the Trek universe that hasn't been conveyed by all the various alien species we've met, nor by humans we know to be Earth colonists. Humanity has spread out so much that someone like Miranda can be a second- (or third-)generation resident of some other planet. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any other human in the original series was known not to have been from Earth.) |

Re: The SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT in TOS !!!
1: my all time favorite ep is "Bread and Circuses". Even though we all want to see Kirk take a shot at Proconsul Claudius Markus during the blackout in the arena, or at least slug First Citizen Merrickus, the shocking ending occurs when Captain Merrick lays down his own life to signal the Enterprise to beam up Kirk. "Starship? Lock in on this... Three to beam u--...!" followed of course by the jaw-dropping sound of Scott's all-business reply: "Enterprise to Captain Kirk. Ready to beam up three." 2: And another scene of daring, played to virtually identical music, was in the final act of "Friday's Child", when newly crowned High Te'er Ma'ab confers with Ele'an and K'eel, then goes out and offers himself for Klingon target practice so Ke'el can get a clean shot on the Kraas. Talk about going out on a blaze of glory... "KLING-ONNNNNN!" BTW: I also love the scene where Kirk gives the word and Spock finally relives Decker. Great lines there! "Blast regulations! ...I order to to assume command on my personal authority as captain of the Enterprise!" "I don't recognize your authority to relieve me." Followed by the only-on-TOS line "You may file a formal protest with Starfleet Command, assuming we survive to reach a starbase."
"The way that you wander is the way that you choose. / The day that you tarry is the day that you lose. / Sunshine or thunder, a man will always wonder / Where the fair wind blows ..." -- Lyrics, Jeremiah Johnson's theme. |

Anna Laitinen wins Finnish championship
Published on 23.10.2012 5:12Anna Laitinen won the Bouldering Finnish championship competition which was held in Jyväskylä 13.10.2012.
Here's a little Q & A about Anna :
What are your feelings at the moment: considering your career (are there more competitions in 2012), your health and your free time?
"I'm feeling superb right now! There's some smaller competitions coming and one lead competition (rope) where I'm also participating. My studies are starting tomorrow so I'm quite "forced" to slow down for a while which is good cause I've been training so much."
Your thoughts of the 2013 climbing season?
"Now I'm having my focus on next year's bouldering world cup which is starting on March 2013 in China. I'm also having other trips such as trip to USA on summer which lasts 6 weeks (hopefully more!) and one smaller trip on this winter. I hope I'm staying without any injuries this time. But all in all I'm feeling great!"
Great job Anna and good luck with your future challenges.

Temple Beth Israel's first president, Sydney Flanzbaum, of Sarasota and formerly of Longboat Key, died Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010. He was 99.
Born in Boston, he was a former resident of Providence, R.I. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology from the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Flanzbaum built a shoe store he inherited from his father into a chain of leased shoe departments. He later sold the business and became vice president of Zales Corp.
Mr. Flanzbaum retired to Longboat Key, and in April 1979, he invited a group of friends to his condominium to discuss the idea of forming a Jewish temple on Longboat Key. In January 1980, the Reform Jewish Congregation Beth Israel of Longboat Key received its charter from the state. The next month, Mr. Flanzbaum was elected as the first president of the temple.
A service will take place at 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, at Temple Beth Israel. Memorial contributions can be made to Jewish Family and Children's Service, 2688 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, Fla. 34237, or Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Road, Longboat Key, Fla. 34228.

Public ceremony to mark opening of trail's overpass
Date: November 3, 2011
by: Rachel Brown Hackney | Managing Editor
At 9 a.m. Saturday, at the Venice Train Depot in Venice. Sarasota County officals will gather with other community representatives — and, undoubtedly, more than a few cyclists — to celebrate the opening of the Legacy Trail pedestrian overpass.
The event will be held at 303 E. Venice Ave.
Then, everyone will head out to the overpass itself for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The construction of the overpass, which connects the Legacy Trail on the north and south sides of the U.S. 41 Bypass, began in late fall 2010. The bridge provides a 12-foot-wide path over the road, with access to and from the existing sidewalks along the bypass. The overpass is about 900 feet long.
The $3.1 million project was handled by ZEP Construction Inc. of Fort Myers.

Well you know I'm always tryin to be one fly ass white boy you know so I saw these vans boots.

But these vans boots are tight yo! the price is right, there not all flashy like young jeezys rims.....but I like em a lot like Paris Hilton !

Gear Question
im pretty much 5ft 8in and around 155...
im pretty much 5ft 8in and around 155 pounds with a 9 size boot, i wanna use this board mainly for groomers and park but take it out in the pow too. what kind of size and widths am i looking at here guys?
Also, would anyone recommend this over the Skate Banana?
157 should be versatile enough for you and the right size for your weight. I have a size 9 boot too and this board is perfect for it because it's a little on the narrower side.
I would prefer this board over the skate banana because you get a better, faster base, better fiberglass/basalt fiber and wood core. (more pop and stronger, faster construction basically)
There's a reason this snowboard has won Transworlds Good Wood Test 5 years in a row. It's the only one with that kind of track record too.
I#m from germany and i'm also 5ft8inch and you souldnt take a 157 like the other guy told you... ridin for 10 years now and i rode the 54 trs btx last season, and felt it little stiff. got a 51 trs btx this season and love it. its enough length to hit powder. smooth ehough for some butters and ground tricks and also stable at speed. trust me, it enough length to go fast and big. unless you hit any of these pro line boosters.
boot size US9 should work with the 24,7 width of the 51 and also with the 25,3 of the 54.
i wear size 10 and anle is +15/-10 and the waist of 24,7cm fits well. if you want a stable board but also play around, go with the 51 trs.
i would go with the 154 for sure, i am pretty much the exact dimentions as you and i ride the 54, such a sick board

Don't tell me this town ain't got no Hart
milwaukee brewers December 12th, 2013
Corey Hart is a Seattle Mariner and with that signing the dream of the baby Brewers who led Milwaukee to prominence died. No more Prince, no more Hart, Weeks is something and Braun sold his soul. The dream is over. It's not that Hart left (because that contract Seattle gave him is probably dumb) it's that I don't even know who this team wants to be anymore. Like I don't understand what their goals are.
Many of the likeable replacements (Axford, Aoki) are gone too and that's fine if it makes the team better, but what is the goal? If the Brewers are going to suck, why get rid of someone everyone loves like Aoki? If you aren't going to be good and you still want to sell tickets you need to be a little bit better than "Ryan Braun is serious this time guys". In the end we're left being "just one of those teams". You know the ones, they are a baseball team with players. A couple of the players are pretty good, but there is no real hot prospect that everyone is talking about and there is a bunch of veterans that make you say "huh, that guy is still around?" One of those teams. The kind of team that other teams think "Can we get them to trade us Gomez? They don't need him." The team that doesn't really contend, but still has to play 162 games. That's the Brewers right now. They are the 90s all over again. They aren't on the cutting edge of statistical analysis, they aren't in a rebuilding phase or one player away from being a contender, they are just a team that plays baseball. They are the Bucks. They are what people outside of Wisconsin has always thought them to be.
Nothing really sums this up quite like the Brewers alleged interest in James Loney. (Did they lose Gamel's number?) Nothing quite says middle of the road, plain jane, boring as fuck baseball team like James Loney. He's a talented baseball player, last season he was 10th in WAR among first baseman, but he just is what he is. He's the type of guy that a small market team signs in free agency because no good team wants him and no good players want Milwaukee. He's the perfect match for a team on the verge of nothingness. He's Kyle Lohse, first baseman. Read the rest of this entry »
Goodbye John Axford
milwaukee brewers August 30th, 2013
Can you think of a better pitcher in Brewers history than John Axford?
Lots. Tons and tons of them. My browser just crashed there were so many search results.
Can you think of a better reliever in Brewers history than John Axford?
Most definitely. He had his stretches, but there have been others who have matched them and others who have beat them. (I think. I didn't really do the research on this one.)
Can you think of a better closer in Brewers history than John Axford?
Sure. Despite being second on the Brewers all-time saves list, the last two years have basically erased the idea that John Axford is or was an awesome closer (even though he really was for a minute.) The idea of "awesome closer" is admittedly a stupid kind of thing, but he was pretty dominant at one point. The best? You'll have to go through something called Doug Henry first, pal.
Can you think of a cooler guy in Brewers history than John Axford?
Probably not. Read the rest of this entry »
Fans React to A Letter From Ryan Braun
milwaukee brewers August 24th, 2013
Letter to the fans of the Milwaukee Brewers:
I have always been very grateful for the privilege of playing baseball in the great city of Milwaukee.
I am so sorry for letting you down by being in denial for so long and not telling the whole truth about what happened.
I am ashamed and extremely embarrassed by the decisions I made. There are no excuses for what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions.
I apologize to all Brewers fans for disappointing you.
I came forward because I knew it was time for me to tell the truth and accept my punishment.
I understand I have abused your trust and that of our great owner Mark Attanasio and the entire Brewers organization.
Admitting my mistakes and asking for your forgiveness are the first steps in what I know will be a lengthy process to prove myself to you again.
It is an honor to represent the people of Wisconsin by wearing a Brewers uniform.
I want all of you to know how much I have appreciated the support I've received from so many of you throughout my years with the organization.
I will continue to work on improving myself and making amends for what I have done.
I am deeply sorry for my actions and I apologize to everyone I have let down. I am committed to doing everything I can to earn back your trust and support.
Ryan Braun
What a difference four years makes
milwaukee brewers August 16th, 2013
Four years ago the Brewers were coming off their first playoff season in forever, Ryan Braun owned the city, the sun was shining, the skies were blue, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and all was right with the world. The Brewers were embarking on their 40th anniversary season and were held up as an example of how to do things right. The Brewers built a playoff team through smart drafting and Ryan Braun was the clean, talented future face of the game. It was a simpler time, really.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the country Alex Rodriguez was mired in a steroid controversy. Shocking, I know. While Braun was becoming one of the most popular baseball players in the game, he felt the need to stand by his friend who just so happened to be one of it's most hated.
"Everybody makes mistakes, and I'm not the type of person that's going to change my opinion about who he is just because he made a mistake," Braun said. "I wouldn't just disassociate myself with somebody just because he made a mistake. I don't think anybody is perfect, and I don't think he's ever pretended to be perfect."
Making a mistake and not being perfect... That sounds familiar, doesn't it?
"As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect," Braun said. "I realize now that I have made some mistakes."
Oh yeah, that.
Look, I'm not here to vilify Braun for any of this stuff. Not again. If anything, I am over it. What I didn't realize at the time that it all went down is the way that the world would turn on Ryan Braun for this. You need to remember that whenever people get that upset over things then it probably isn't deserved. If people got as upset about the atrocities the government commits every single day as they did about Ryan Braun eating some fucking lozenges then we might actually get somewhere in this lifetime, but that's not the way life works. Not anymore. People only care about minute bullshit that doesn't matter in the long run and they let talking heads get into their brain and rot it away. Johnny Manziel parties and signs his name on a photograph. BAN HIM FOR LIFE! Get lost with that stuff. Use your brains. Why can't college kids make money when universities make billions? Why are steroids even illegal? Why is weed illegal? Why do we have laws that stop people from doing what they want to do?
Okay, I'll get off my libertarian anarchist soapbox and get back to my numberswiki.com
point which is this: what a difference four years makes. Four years ago Ryan Braun was defending Alex Rodriguez when the whole world was turning on him. Now? Alex Rodriguez is apparently the one who threw Ryan Braun under the bus as Ryan takes his place as most hated man in baseball. This is baseball. Read the rest of this entry »
Chris Benoit
milwaukee brewers July 23rd, 2013
It's no secret that I love wrestling. I reference it all the time and I write about it on the side. It's my thing, but there was once a time when I thought I would never watch wrestling again and that's when Chris Benoit killed his family and himself.
My girlfriend at the time was pregnant with my child that I was completely unprepared for and our relationship was a bit... let's say rocky. My irresponsibility combined with her pregnancy brain and worries about the future combined with the general instability of our relationship in general had us on the rocks. Things weren't really looking good, but we were trying to make it work. For the kid maybe or ourselves or more likely because not trying and dealing with it seemed so damn horrible. We set up a date where we'd get dinner and she'd let me watch Raw and we'd just hang out. Try to have fun, try to have a good time, try to talk.
Before she came over I went online and got a message from my friend Graeme that Chris Benoit was dead and so was his family. I was in shock. This was one of my absolute favorite wrestlers and he was dead. Was he murdered? Was it a gas leak? I felt really bad. Our plans would have to change. I didn't want to eat. I was sad that this wrestler dude who had been apart of my life every week for nearly ten years was gone. Graeme, another guy Brando and I chatted online for hours as the news slowly trickled in. We watched the Raw that was a tribute to him and that slowly became the worst idea ever as before it was over the truth came out: Benoit murdered his family and then killed himself. He was the worst person ever. I felt horrible. I went from sad to depressed to sad and depressed that I was sad and depressed over a murderer. I couldn't experience joy. I jut felt sick to my stomach and I hated everything about life and this world and the way things are. This, as you can imagine, did not sit very well with the mother of my future child. She couldn't understand how I could be so upset about someone I didn't even know. She wanted me to pay attention to her and be attentive and not be so caught up in this fake world. Wrestling was on TV, but she was right there and I couldn't see what was happening right in front of my face. She didn't get it and that night after one of my favorite wrestlers of all time murdered his family and himself, we broke up. A bad night made worse.
After that I couldn't watch wrestling for a long time. It was a constant reminder of those bad memories and it wasn't fun for me anymore. I stopped playing wrestling games, I stopped reading news and results, got rid of my shirts, got rid of my books and I quit watching. Wrestling was over for me because some guy ruined it.
I'm not writing this because I want to compare Ryan Braun to Chris Benoit (or Aaron Hernandez) because I am a rational human being that can tell the difference between breaking a sport's rules and murdering people, but I can't help but to feel similar feelings. Read the rest of this entry »

How will you go about paying down this debt? Do you think a Personal Loan will make sense to pay off balances and make 1 monthly payment?

Want to pay down some debt before I pull my scores again don't think I will see much of a difference. I have no late pymts on my reports.
