Giggin' On Ya has been on extended summer vacation and thus it has taken a considerable amount of time to follow up the initial edition of The Gig List. However, we are going to take Isiah Thomas' approach to the last four months - forgetting they ever happened - and look forward to the fine folks that deserve a good giggin on this 24th day of october...
1. Rudy Giuliani - In a move that roughly equates to Hulk Hogan joining the nWo, Rudy Giuliani announced this week during a campaign fundraiser at a Boston restaurant that he will be rooting for the Red Sox in the 2007 World Series. Giuliani, who was awarded four honorary World Series rings by the Yankees during his term as mayor of New York City and who hails from Brooklyn, explained that he is rooting for the hated Sox because he is an "American League fan." He then went on to add that given his New York roots, he would also root for the Mets in the World Series and the Democrats if they win the election in 2008.
2. City of Philadelphia - If you enjoy championship droughts in sports, unattractive people and running stone steps during training, I have the city for you. A survey of 60,000 people released by Travel & Leisure magazine, ranking 25 major cities in a variety of categories, found the people of Philadelphia to be the least attractive. This is especially distressing news for a city that also ranks in the top 10 in obesity and unkempt mustaches. Philadelphia mayor John F. Street, sporting a partial fu-manchu and a hair style that is a cross between an afro and flat top, said the city is prepared to take added measures to increase the attractiveness and general health of its citizens. "These survey results are a wake up call to city hall and the citizens of Philadelphia. In the next few months, we will be implementing new initiative calling for more rigorous gym class regiments for children in K-12 and free seminars for female citizens focusing on the most effective ways to eliminate undesirable chest and facial hair." When asked about his most controversal piece of legislation which would set a quota on the number of cheesesteaks that may be consumed in the city each week, the mayor was more conservative with his response. "We have received mixed reviews on the cheesesteak quota and will explore ways to alter the bill in order to keep everyone in the city satisfied." One of the staunchest opponents of the cheesesteak crackdown, Eagles head coach Andy Reid, could not be reached for comment as this article was written during lunchtime.
3. The Hackers who took down the Colorado Rockies online ticketing systen - You messed with God's baseball team fellas. Don't be surpised if upon waking tomorrow the collection of computer porn you have painstakingly put together over the years has vanished, your beloved character "BoneCrusherLadySexer007" which you live vicariously through in World of Warcraft is deceased, your Ovaltine tastes like urine and nothing is like it seems... in other words your parents have kicked you out of their basement, your dwelling since the Reagan administration.
4. Green Bay Packers Fans - After attending the Giants-Packers game at Giants Stadium, I came away disgusted by a majority of the Green Bay faithful. While I understand that the diet of the average Wisconsin resident - beer, cheese, sausage, brats and babies - is conducive to creating the mamouth masses of flab that are the Green Bay Packers fan base, it was the rude, surly demeanor they displayed that I found shameful. In this 20 second YouTube clip, a young Packers fan simply gets owned.
