Kristen Bartlett has some takes on "lame bitches" from movies of yesteryear
Mar 15 2018 11:30AM more by heyduke
Tags: LA, Random (All tags)

Bartlett comes up with a pretty decent topic. She provides some decent snark, but nothing like LACG can bring. I'd describe the article as amusing, but for this writer and the site she works for, average is akin to a Pulitzer for their lowly stature. The article is attached for those that are not too lazy to read. I know many of you often say "didn't read" on my blogs, but maybe today we do something new, no?

Other stuff that I'm burning on:

Jim Rome no longer has a radio show that runs live in Los Angeles. Romey Rome was pulled from AM1090 in favor of Dan LeBatard about two weeks ago. Jim Rome is syndicated on CBS...they do not have an affiliate in LA. This is a significant humiliation for Mr Rome. Although he's made tens of millions in radio, he's on his way out. Colin Cowherd is killing him. I guess Rome was smacked off by AM1090...hey now!


NCAA Tournament begins this morning. It looks as if OU and the Mr Trae Young will be one and done. If the Sooners come up short, this will be his final game in college and likely will be a top 10 draft pick next season. OU HC Lon Kruger has taken five teams to the Tournament over the years (Kansas State, Florida, Illinois, UNLV and now OU). Kruger is an exceptional HC who doesn't get the run that he deserves.


The LA Marathon will be held this weekend, and although we all love LA, it's marathon is not thought to be one of the premier races in the country. In fact it's not close to other big city marathons in terms of prestige (Boston, New York and Chicago). The course has changed so many times over the years. This course that has been run for the last few years is pretty good...starting in Echo Park at Dodger Stadium and heading west to an ultimate finish at the Santa Monica Pier. There will be over 20,000 people participating, a large number for any marathon. Just for perspective, the NY Marathon has 40,000 runners; Boston Marathon 24,000 runners; Chicago Marathon 25,000 runners. Stay away from Hollywood, W Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Westwood and Ocean in Santa Monica on Sunday morning...if you don't your day will be fucked. heyduke has run the LA Marathon on three occasions...but the last time was in 2007. The courses I ran were different than this course, but cool as well...much more South Central and Downtown portions of those courses...no west LA at all.

A good day to my HX community members.

There is a line from a song I'm fond of that basically describes the exact opposite of my guy Low T:

My stairway is straight Led Zeppelin
My Air Force Ones so new and so fresh, and
Play you like a PS3
That's Crown Royal freak, don't try to BS me

I wonder what your classmates from university, ya know that Ivy League one that you "graduated" from think about your daily activities and lifestyle Low T? I

t seems like you're a lazy nudnik who rarely thinks, but what do I know?

I mean...I graduated from lowly University of Oregon, so not much is expected of me. In fact my blogs from HX are used up there in Creative Writing classes for the last few years, so that speaks to what we're dealing with in Eugene, OR

His Showtime show never really got going and IMO kinda sucked. Rome has had many TV shows over the years. There was the original on ESPN 2 where he had that unfortunate incident with Jim Everett. After that there was The Last Word that aired on Fox Sports...it may have been called Prime or Prime Ticket back then. After that he had his best TV show...Rome is Burning. It was when his ESPN contract ended that the problems began.

Hey Low T, exciting news for the two of us. There is a strong consensus that we need to take this act of ours on the road. They want us to do it live...just received an offer for a 22 show tour from Live Nation. It has all the big west coast cities. I'm going to balk at the first offer...think we can extricate a bit more gelt from these guys.

The Ducks have qualified for the NIT. They defeated Rider University 99-86 in their first game. Their next opponent is Marquette University on Sunday. Now this ain't a great Ducks unit...they ain't gonna make anyone think of The Tall Firs, but they do try very hard.

* The Tall Firs are the nickname of the UO basketball team that won the 1939 National Championship. The headline of the Eugene Emerald from '39 read:

Oregon National Champs - Wandering Webfoots Whip Ohio State. The headline is an example of alliteration, but around these parts I think it would be called an analogy...well because most HX'ers are quite stupid.

Man...this John Skipper thing is very strange. I'm waiting for another shoe to drop, because there has to be a lot more to this. I'm not going to link the article for respect to our site and the r&r's...but damn, perhaps a google search is in order for curious community members.

Great news in the TV world...my ATF actress Anabella Sciorra has been cast for season 2 Luke Cage.

Things have slowed a bit...so we have time to check in with the God of Khan and see what he's up to. Now the God of Khan usually is doing cool shit and living large, let's see what he's up to today...

God of Khan, anything you'd like to add?

God of Khan:
I'm not a screw face, I keep my
Boots laced
And listen to the homies brag about
They gun case
They off taste, crank beat with more bass
My court date, and I came in hella late
The cross game, wear rings with no chains
Holla at the guard if you a rap cat mane
Nickel plated, now the engergys penetrated
I put that on my life I'm glad you never made it
Raw hide, all in my blood line
You never find a pug like me and no twine
Don't hide, cause it makes it more divine
To put you in the firing line on valentines
February, or was it January
I lose my memory when it come to you canaries
Its necessary, on guard with what you carry

I enjoyed the Rome is Burning show. After that ended I have no idea what happened to the guy.

The show was pretty bad though when Rome would be out sick or on vacation or whatever and they would get someone else to host the show.

Marbles you don't write too well and your worldview isn't compelling. As Papa Ball would stay in your lane.

Do any of you read novels? Lol I know, what's a novel, right?

When someone complains about the "wordiness" of a blog, it's clear indication that the person lacks intellectual curiosity and their reading level is substandard. With the Indian, we just pity his very sad upbringing and acknowledge that he's coming from a world of the have nots. He can't help but be ignorant. But do not you often pretend to be highfalutin and a man of means? Well if I'm right and you often put on airs, then this "it's too much reading" shit has got to go.

Mr Abc,123 - Jim Rome signed a HUGE (Rome Radio Show reference) contract with CBS after his ESPN contract. It included his Jim Rome Radio Show broadcast on the CBS Sports radio empire, a television show that aired monthly on Showtime as well as bi-monthly appearances on the NFL On CBS pregame shows. His tv show never got going, it had no clear direction and became a bit of a jumbled mess that combined celebrities and sports. His appearances on CBS pregame shows were often very awkward and devolved into a number of men talking simaltaneously. The radio show's decline in ratings has been an example of how a radio personality must stay fresh and occasionally reinvent himself. Rome never made any changes, and the show became very narrow in focus and too insular for the everyday sports fan. People wouldn't understand wtf he was saying because of the show lexicon. Enter Colin Cowherd to the Los Angeles market...basically the opposite of Rome and The Jim Rome Radio show in every way. Cowherd's show is easily digestible and does not require the listener to know the show glossary, callers from the past or anything related to a club. It can be consumed in quick hits and always stays focused on the big stories.

Now Romey Rome is not to be pitied...he's made over 100 million in the radio game. But his run is certainly slowing and if something doesn't change soon, likely ending.
