Haven't had the chance to update this in a while, so here's Thomaselli's Top Ten, and a bonus video.
1. Poughkeepsie boys’ basketball. Saturday’s game against fourth-ranked and defending state champion Newburgh will certainly give the Pioneers an idea of how good they really are.
1A. Red Hook boys’ basketball. A little birdie told me the Red Raiders actually beat Poughkeepsie in a scrimmage before the season. I’d love to see them play when it counts.
2. John Jay girls’ basketball. Can somebody explain how the best team in this area – an area RICH in girls’ basketball tradition – is 15-1 but not state-ranked?
3. The dummy lady. Not sure if this should be an ‘A’ for effort or ‘F’ for stupidity, but some lady in Long Island used a mannequin, dressed to the nines, as a passenger in her car so she could drive in the HOV lane on the Long Island Expressway. Can’t blame her – I’ve been on the LIE many times. There’s nothing ‘express’ about it.
4. Indianapolis Colts. My pick for Sunday’s big game. Not because of Peyton Manning or anything in particular, but I just read that no team that has ever lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the regular season has gone on to win the Super Bowl. The Saints lost to the Bucs during the regular season. That’s good enough for me.
5. Spackenkill girls’ basketball. Watch, Cat Thompson – who plays for the Spartans and is the high school columnist here on HVSR – will be taking me to task for having her team so low. J
6. Metro North Rant of the Week. Clean. The. Freakin’. Bathrooms.
7. Arlington girls’ bowling. I need pointers. Seriously. I can’t even beat my 9-year old and 5-year old at Wii bowling. I gotta get a life.
8. Joe Thomaselli. Speaking of my boys, I saw that my oldest's bank on top of his dresser containing his life savings of $28 was empty. So I asked what happened and he says, "Well Dan lets me play his Wii anytime I want, so I unscrewed the top of my bank and dumped all the money in HIS bank so he can buy himself a new game.” Yup, they’re keepers.
9. The Hangover. Saw it for the first time last week. Watched it on the train, in fact. Three times people tapped me on the shoulder and asked me why I was laughing so hard and what I was watching. Hysterical flick. Got robbed in the Oscar noms.
10. Little Jersey Shore. Funny, funny video poking fun at the idiots from the real “Jersey Shore” TV show. Please stop watching this dumb show and making “stars” out of these morons.
