‘Trade’ to Japan leaves Kendrick in shock
Monday, Feb 18, 2008 1:36 am EST
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick was shocked to learn that he’d been traded to the Yomiuri Giants in Japan for a player named “Kobayashi Iwamura.”
“I don’t know what to think right now,” he told reporters outside his locker shortly after getting the news from assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.
Had he truly been thinking, he would have realized that such deals are prohibited. And with a little digging he could have found out that there is no Kobayashi Iwamura playing in Japan.
The “trade” was, in fact, a prank. The ruse was orchestrated by pitcher Brett Myers and was elaborate enough to include Amaro, manager Charlie Manuel, Kendrick’s agent, the media and others.
Why is this salamander so funny?
The question is…which is funnier?

Something about this is a little weird but man, substituting “chee” for “cheese” everytime is OD funny.
Chee quesadilla
Macaroni and Chee
Parmesean chee
Swiss Chee
As soon as I get internet, I will post sickness.
Headed to the game right now.
Shouts to Bun B who has shown us true southern hospitality.
This is absurd. Someone has posted the “world’s greatest music collection” for sale on ebay to the tune of $3,000,000.
From Thomas Edison to American Idol, this is the complete history of the music that shaped and defined five generations. 3 million records and 300,000 CDs containing more than 6 million song titles. It’s the undisputed largest collection of recorded music in the world. About half of the recordings are new and never played, and every genre of 20th century music is represented. There are countless rare recordings worth hundreds, or even thousands of dollars each on the collectibles market. Organized and cataloged, the collection is meticulously maintained and housed in a climate-controlled warehouse. The estimated value of this amazing collection is more than $50 million.
Every recording in the collection was purchased by the collection’s owner over the past fifty years and represents a lifetime of work and his desire to see the music preserved for future generations. Advancing age and health concerns are forcing the owner to sell.
The history of 20th century music belongs in a museum (existing or new), or a music library. The collection’s owner is seeking a private collector or a philanthropist willing to buy and donate the collection. A donation would qualify as a tax-deductible event. The collection contains many thousands of duplicate copies, which could be sold individually on the collectibles market to recoup a substantial part of the purchase price.
Payment terms are 10% of the purchase price within five business days, by certified check, bank transfer or PayPal, and the balance by certified check or bank transfer within 30 business days. The owner will ship anywhere in the world, and the buyer pays actual packing and shipping costs from Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
For a personal tour of the collection, contact us.

Heading out in 12 hours…will make a post ASAP
This was my first time going to Magic. Wale and I were making power moves all weekend before the Grammys and he was like “I think it’d be a good idea for you to go to Magic.” And so I did. Well, it was very reassuring walking into the South Hall at the Las Vegas Hilton Convention Center and seeing Wale’s DNR cover EVERYWHERE. I grabbed a bunch of copies and put them in one bag. In the other, I had copies of 100 MILES AND RUNNING. What an easy sell to have your client on the cover of DNR while at Magic, you know? Lucky for me, most people were already super familiar, so I basically just spent a couple of hours roaming the floor, seeing old friends, meeting new ones and getting Paul Wall to pose with an Elitaste card.
Wale x Pusha T coming soon
Look out for some Wale x Travis Barker coming soon
Me with Bobby Hundreds
Me and Jonas from LRG. Look out for some major moves with Wale and LRG.
By far my favorite booth at Magic
Headed out to a few parties at night. Somehow ended up at The Palms both nights. This view is crazy.
Although with the lights on, Vegas isn’t so glamorous (kinda like that ugly chick you took home last weekend!)
Few drinks deep
Flashing…lights
