Casual Friday: I Wish I Were an Oscar Mayer… OH SHIT!

Ahhhh, it’s Friday once again.  Time to let down your hair, take a deep breath and plan for the weekend. Some of you might be wondering where to find trouble for the weekend. Some, how to stay away from trouble absolutely. My advice to all of you is to buy a bottle of Ledaig, Single [...]

July 17th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and Ching Kong)

Nothing is certain, time slips away. The world may be ending, but it ain’t happening today, today, today. Everybody’s a glory whore these day… not glory hole. Dirty. The world is just way too connected. And, you know what? For the most part that’s not a problem.  The real problem is when all those avenues [...]

Mayfield Needs Some Methorette

I just figured out GlaxoSmithKline’s new market. Meth quitting aids will be behind the counter of ever CVS in the country in a matter of weeks.  Methorette, Methoderm, Meth90X… whatever.  Just like all those aids to quit smoking have virtually eliminated the cigarette from the American public, so will meth disappear, right?

P90X Vs. Pumping Iron

The one where we attempt to get in shape. A few of the Staff at Fourth and Fifty have recently started somewhat of a physical fitness contest.  This isn’t the Presidential Physical Fitness Test you took back in grade school.  This one uses more manly methods of physical conditioning.  I’m talking bench presses, pull ups [...]

July 16th Houston Sports FaF Smear (Strikeforce Chick Fight)

Beauty vs Beast… So we haven’t written about MMA in 2 days, which is halfway in between when I’d like to write about it (whenever the spirit moves me), and when Rex would like me to write about it (the day after never). Tough titties, hombre – you write about soccer and hockey! Speaking of [...]

The FaFU: Sabbaticals, Braille, Ron-Ron, et al.

Back after popular demand (and by that I mean that our own writers wanted to see it and not any of our “adoring” public) The FaFU makes it’s triumphant return.  Take a load off, sit back, relax, light up that Cuban cigar you have been saving… it’s worth it.  Prepare to click the links and [...]

Tiger Woods’ Plan is Coming Together Perfectly

Well Tiger won his most recent tournament (and his own tournament to boot).  Tiger emerged victorious at the AT&T National.  Frankly, this is one of those tourneys that is for a very good cause in that it supports out troops.  The course was filled with soldiers wounded in battle and those currently serving on active [...]

July 15th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and Bouncy Balls)

Gasoline, saccharine. I got no reason for the state that I’m in. But, I know what I am. I can sum up the 2009 All-Star game in one, compound sentence: Jonathan Papelbon (meaning the outcome wasn’t decided until late) was the winning pitcher and President Obama couldn’t make the ceremonial pitch on the fly. I [...]

Time to Turn Your Attention to Turnberry

As, I sit here and try to express myself in thoughts over 140 characters, I have decided that I will give you a break from the  all media coverage the most meaningful meaningless game in professional sports, the MLB All-Star Game, so that we can shift our focus to Turnberry, Scotland. The British Open is [...]

July 14th Houston Sports FaF Smear

Girl when I break you off, I promise you won’t want to get off. That song up top is the 1996 classic, “Pony” by Ginuwine.  When THE Random Guy reads that sentence he just might spontaneously combust.  You might be asking yourself, “self, why the hell is a neo-hipster such as Septimus linking to a [...]
