Probably Uncalled For...  

Could have perhaps needed some Vicks Formula 44 last night, instead. Despite being a man down on last night's broadcast (ppdingles is on assignment in Illinois, and will be back with us next Tuesday, be sure to catch him on Inside the Squared Circle, now at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific Monday nights), we were satisfied with how everything went, even though the first half of the show did drag a bit.

It's not much of a sign, I'll grant you, but the return of Schlitz beer to its original glory has to be a good omen for the Cubs to win their first World Series title in 100 years. We've went out and spent the monies, we've got a solid offensive and defensive team, and the pitching is better than some believe. After all, in the May 2008 Playboy, now on newsstands, Tracy Ringolsby picks the Cubbies to repeat as NL Central Division champs this year, and seeing as how he's a Hall of Fame sportswriter, I'm perfectly willing to defer to his judgement on this one...believe it, people. The curse ends this year.

The controversy in South Korea over a proposal to reclassify dogs as livestock, in order to create standards for the production of dog meat?...so what? Who the f**k cares? If they want to eat dog and remain the third world's carnivore standard bearer, then let 'em. Not like any kind of legislation is going to stop anything over there. All I can say is if you travel to South Korea, you might want to leave the pets the f**k at home.

Hopefully, we'll have some follow-up for you on the Salt Lake City zombie-preparedness plan. We're gonna to track down how to get in touch with SLC City Councilman Luke Garrott, and maybe we can get a comment or something...won't even call this yes-holing, as the initial request was made by a character from freakin' Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

Us here at the show believe the SLC City Council needs to call up Mr. T. When he's done laying a 80's style beatdown on Dracula, then he could either stand guard against the zombie invasion of Utah (how would anybody notice a zombie invasion in Utah is what we're dying to know), or head to Tanzania and save the proud albino population there from organ harvesting witch doctors. And yes, we hear ya...hard to fathom we got all of this from the news, not the fevered machinations of the occasional 3am bong session from our host.

While he didn't quite make it in a write-in bid for office in Waupin, Wisconsin, let us here at Probably Uncalled For be the first to officially endorse Papa Smurf for the governorship of Wisconsin, the next time it comes up for grabs, that is.

Thanks for logging in and checking us out this week, catch you all back here next week, LIVE at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific for an all-new Probably Uncalled For, the Smartest Damn Thing You'll Hear All Week...
