WILF Wednesday Goes Xtreme

Sup everybody? Tom here, and you know what that means. It's WILF Wednesday. Now, of course, big ups to theassman345xxxo for making this awesome video. Also, I regret to inform you that while this video is not pornographic, viewer discretion is advised. Now, as many of you know by know, I am a HUGE fan of the WWE Divas. They're the perfect combination of athletic and beautiful. Sometimes, people say the all look alike. Well, if I may interject here, this former WWE Diva and future WWE Hall of Famer is your atypical Diva. She carries a an energy with her that is as fiery as her hair. She served as a valet for many wrestlers, starting with Essa Rios, then the Hardy Boys (Jeff and her boyfriend Matt), then Kane, and finally Edge (I perfer not to discuss how this happened). If you ask me, her in-ring accomplishments may have equaled or surpassed those of her long-time rival/backstage BFF, Trish Stratus. Of course, "may have" is the operative phrase, because when she was shooting a guest appearance on "Dark Angel," (the series finale) she wound up breaking her neck. Still, when she came back, she became even better than before. She became a four-time WWE Women's Champion, which trails only Stratus for the most all-time, while placing her in a tie with the late, great, legendary Fabulous Moohlah and current WWE Diva and all-around hottie Mickie James for second. Plus, she was my personal favorite Diva. Her hair, her punk-rock attitude, her gorgeous body, her athleticism, and of course, her tattoo, were all that was needed to get my attention. Did I mention she has excellent breasts and an ass that deserves to banged? Believe me, she does. She's hot. She's extreme. She's athletic. She's one of the best Divas ever. She's known to many by her stage name of Lita. She's Amy Dumas.



BONUS CLIP! From a episode of RAW on December 4, 2004, in Lita's backyard of Charlotte, North Carolina, as she challenges Stratus for the WWE Women's Championship in the main event. At 2:30, hold your breath and remember Lita had previously broken her neck before you shout, "HOLY SHIT!" Hands down, the best women's match in WWE history.

From the Buccaneers vs. Lions game

The Hero: Ronde Barber. He had two interceptions, one that led to a TD and the other he returned all the way himself.
The Goats: Lions' OL. They got flagged for two holds and four false starts. What, was the crowd cheering too loudly?

Survivor Series results

UGH! Rough night with Survivor Series. I only managed to scrape up a 3-3 record on the night. By the way, when Edge replaced Jeff Hardy, I changed my pick to Triple H. Am I ever going to learn? So thanks to Undertaker; JTG, Rey Mysterio, Shad, Shawn Michaels & The Great Khali; and Beth Phoenix, Candice, Jillian, Kelly Kelly & Mickie James, I don't have to worry about a drop in my percentage of matches won. But Chris Jericho; Triple H; and Batista, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy & R-Truth left me without an increase in my winning percentage. So now I stand at 179-141. Not bad, but when Armageddon rolls around, I hope to do better.

Great job staying classy, Detroit!

So I was flipping through the Detroit Free Press this morning, looking at the local news, and I saw how this community stood up to the bullies of the Westboro Baptist Church. Needless to say, I am happy with how we as Detroiters stood up to hatred without resorting to violence.


Three women from a radical Kansas church protested in front of Grosse Pointe South High School and Christ Church in Grosse Pointe Farms on Friday. The protestors were drawn by the school's production of a play about the 1998 torture and beating death of a gay college student in Laramie, Wyo.

Westboro Baptist Church, which is not affiliated with the mainline Baptist church, has attracted national attention because of its intolerance of gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual individuals. The church also is known for picketing at the funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Westboro members say the military deaths are God's punishment for American tolerance of homosexuality.

The Grosse Pointe Farms protest -- hours before a performance of "The Laramie Project" -- was a quiet affair with little interaction between the protestors and the community.

About 100 Christ Church members stretched across the church lawn, symbolically turning their backs on the protestors' message of intolerance, said the Rev. Bradford Whitaker, the church's rector.

As school was dismissed at 3 p.m., the trio of protestors moved from the church to a street corner across from the campus carrying their signs with phrases such as "God hates America" and derogatory terms for gays.

"We're here to make sure those children understand the hatred of God for homosexuals," said protestor Margie Phelps of Topeka, Kan.

About 150 students quietly watched the protestors while a line of teachers stood in the street in front of them. A handful of students held counter signs, such as "My God doesn't hate."

Most of the teens expressed disbelief at the protestors' language and songs.

"It teaches me a lot of people out there can't respect people being different from them," said Katherine Bowman, a 16-year-old junior from Grosse Pointe Farms.

"I'm just surprised that people like this actually exist," said Christian Giancarlo, 17, a senior from Grosse Pointe Park.

A few of the watching students were to perform in the play that night, including Elizabeth Parker, 16.

"It helped us to see these beliefs do exist," said Parker, a junior from Grosse Pointe Park. "It's scary."

The church group also planned to protest at the Canadian and Mexican consulates in Detroit.

Canadian authorities have blocked their protests in that country. The Mexican Consulate was targeted because Westboro members say they believe there's a link between Catholic priests and homosexuality.


Let me reiterate a few things. The main reason they went after GPSHS was not just because this was a play about a gay man being murdered and the tragedy surrounding this act, but because of the fact that Westboro was humiliated beyond belief at the funeral. Christ Church was just a convienant target for them because they're right next door to the school and hold no ill will toward gays. Canada should be barring the WBC because I would want to ban hate speech, too. Of course, just imagine the Constitutional mess that would be, I think Canada has it down pat. And as for Mexico, grow up. Not every Catholic priest is a pedophile. You can't dismiss the entire bushel because of a few bad apples. In short, the Westboro Baptist Church is out of touch with reality, but thank God they showed so that people understand what barnacles are still latched on to the boat of the human race. Way to go, Detroit, on bringing peace and understanding in an otherwise voliatale situation. And if these filthy inbreds come around here again, I promise I will join you.

Before I go, two things of note. Number 1, I hate you, Butch, you lucky bastard.

Number 2, 500 POSTS! CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

WILF Wednesday Alert: The Soviets Are Coming

Hey everybody, Tom back again for another (late) edition of WILF Wednesday. Gotta say thanks a ton to theassman345xxxo for putting together another hot video. Now, don't be alarmed by the title, there's no second Cold War coming. I'm just having a little fun because this week's lady is from the former USSR. Kiev, Ukraine, to be exact. When she was very young, her family moved to Los Angeles and she learned English by watching "The Price is Right" because Bob Barker spoke slow enough for her to understand him. She started out with doing commercials for Barbie and Payless Shoes before she landed a gig on "Days of Our Lives." After that, she appeared in films as "Santa with Muscles," "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves," and "Gia," as well as serving on "7th Heaven." Then came the role of a lifetime. Jackie Burkhart on "That '70s Show." To get the role, she had to lie about her age, claiming she was the minimum 17 years old at the audition, when she was only 14. Even when she was exposed, the show kept her because she was the best fit. Landing the role of the rich, snobby teen gave this lady endless amounts of exposure. She scored the role of Meg Griffin on "Family Guy," played several characters on "Robot Chicken," and voiced Tanya in the video game "Saints Row." She picked up spots in music videos by Aerosmith, Vitamin C, The Strokes, and Mam Taylor featuring Joel Madden. She posed for popular men's magazines like Maxim and Stuff. During and after "That '70s Show," this week's girl landed spots in movies such as "Get Over It" with Kirsten Dunst, "American Psycho II: All American Girl" with William Shatner, "After Sex," "Boot Camp," and "Moving McAllister" with Jon Heder. She finally landed a big movie role this year with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" with Kristen Bell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, and Bill Hader. Here, she received high marks for her many memorable scenes. Her most recent film is an adaptation of the video game "Max Payne" alongside Mark Wahlberg. Her next project is the comedy "Extract" with Ben Affleck and Jason Bateman. Needless to say, she is becoming more and more in demand. Not mention she has a body that you just want to oil up and ass that you just want to spank. She's hot. She's Ukrainian. She's funny. She's talented. She's the next big thing. She's Mila Kunis.

Updated plans from the battle against the WBC

Hey, everybody, I'm sorry I still can't make it to the Westboro Baptist Church counterprotests. However, if you want to run them into the ground, I have new information about where they will be, with a new location included. If you want to chase these false Bible beaters out of town, come to:

Christ Church Grosse Pointe, 61 Grosse Pointe Blvd, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 2:45PM-3:00PM
Grosse Pointe South High School, 11 Grosse Pointe Blvd, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 3:00PM-3:30PM
Canada Consulate General, 600 Renaissance Center # 1100, Detroit, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 4:00PM-4:30PM
Mexico Consulate General, 645 Griswold St # 1700, Detroit, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 4:30PM-5:00PM

Their claim is, "God hates Christ Church, of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., and Grosse Pointe South High School for promoting the gay agenda via gay clubs and counseling." I don't know if any of those places have gay clubs and counseling, but let's face it. They're only here to get vengeance on "The Laramie Project," being performed at GPSHS, for absolutley humiliating the cult members at Matthew Shepard's funeral. Show 'em how we Detroiters roll. Run 'em out and show Detroit is a city that will not take the hatred and intolerance that the Westboro Baptist Cult promotes.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Northwestern vs. Michigan game

The Hero: C.J. Bacher. The Northwestern quarterback didn't put up great numbers (17-for-29, 2 TDs, 2 INTs), but in horrible conditions, he kept the Wildcats moving most of the time. He made a few plays with his legs, too.
The Goats: The officials. Michigan appeared to tie the game in the fourth quarter on a 59-yard interception return for a touchdown by Donovan Warren, but an official ruled that Warren stepped out of bounds on the Northwestern 41. Replays seems to indicate that Warren stayed inbounds. Because the play had been whistled dead, Michigan could not challenge it.

Update from the WBC battlefront

Hey guys. I need a little assistance. Anybody in the Detroit area who dispises hatred, please, help put a sock in the mouths of the Westboro Baptist Church. I wish I could, but I can't. I've been called in to work. However, I will definitely be thinking of you guys out there counterdemonstrating these bigots. Remember, guys, it's three locations, Grosse Pointe South High School, the Canada Consulate General, and the Mexico Consulate General. Why is the WBC going after these groups? Because they say, about "The Laramie Project," (I censored the pejoratives they use) that, "God hates **** & ************; ergo, God hates The Laramie Project, Grosse Pointe South High School, and everybody having anything to do with spreading sodomite lies via this this tacky bit of cheap, *** propaganda masquerading as legitimate theater." Or is it only because the WBC was absolutely PWND during Matthew Shepard's funeral? Plain and simple, they say, "God hates Canada." Really? The only reason they make hate language illegal there is to make sure idiots like the WBC have no pulpit to spread the word of hate and bigotry. And the also make it crystal clear when they say, "God hates Mexico." Is there really something so wrong about Native Americans, Spainards, and Catholics living peacefully under one flag? And like Canada, Mexico will not tolerate bigots, so don't try jumping the fence to the other side of the border, WBC.

I think I've made myself clear. If you are living in Detroit, tell the WBC that 313 said to get out the city and take your filth somewhere else. I don't care if you're American, Canadian, Mexican, straight, gay, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, Arab, Native American, Pacific Islander, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, etc. Get the message across that Detroit will never, ever tolerate hatred and bigotry. So you case you need a reminder, catch them at:

Grosse Pointe South High School, 11 Grosse Pointe Blvd, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 2:45PM-3:30PM
Canada Consulate General, 600 Renaissance Center # 1100, Detroit, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 4:00PM-4:30PM
Mexico Consulate General, 645 Griswold St # 1700, Detroit, Michigan, Friday, November 21, 2008, 4:30PM-5:00PM

Good luck to all of you who tolerate peace and love.

WILF Wednesday is Glamarous

Hey gang. Tom back with another (late) edition of WILF Wednesday. Gotta say what up to theassman345xxxo for making this quality film. Keep up the good work, holmes. Secondly, and this is as annoying as a broken record, but while the video is not pornographic, viewer discretion is advised. Damn flaggers. Anyways, this is a constant top ten hottie in my mind. She's been in entrertainment since she was a kid, doing the voice of Lucy and Sally in "Peanuts" TV specials and acting on "Kids Incorporated." All that while being an A-student and a Girl Scout, very impressive. She became a member of an all-girl group called Wild Orchid, but the band never really took off the way the record company had hoped. To make matters worse, it led this week's woman into a world of drug addiction (only positive out this is that she would occassionally involve herself in lesbian sex, but as a warning, let's try getting girls to do girls without narcotics). After sobering up, she was a fixture on the LA underground music world. It was there she was discovered by three men named will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap. After her recording with them on a track went very well, they invited her into the group. Thus, she became the fourth member (and lone female) of the Black Eyed Peas. Her presence with the Peas shot the group up from cult status to mainstream regulars. Two albums made, millions sold, multiple awards won, if probably not for the addition of this lady. Soon, the group toyed with solo projects, and her album has sold millions already, showing she can perform individually as well as in a group. Plus, she has even gone back into acting, getting minor roles in "Poseidon" and "Grindhouse." Let's face it, this girl is multi-talented. And doesn't hurt that she has a rock hard body and an ass that needs constant attention. She's hot. She's exotic. She's versatile. She's entertaining. She's a two-time Grammy Award winner. She's Fergie.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Jaguars vs. Lions game

The Hero: David Gerrard. Maurice Jones-Drew may have had three TDs, but it was the precision passing of Gerrard (18-for-25 with completions to nine receivers) that moved the team down the field.
The Goats: Lions defense. Then again, the Lions' inability to stop the run or defend the pass probably aided the Jags' offense, especially on third and fourth down (six conversions in 11 tries).

From the Celtics vs. Pistons game

The Hero: Tony Allen. The Celtics' backup shooting guard scored 23 points, including 12 of Boston's 30 points in the second quarter.
The Goat: Rip Hamilton. A.I.'s 4-for-11 shooting was bad, and 'Sheed's 4-for-17 was worse, but Rip takes the cake, scoring three points and missing all eight of his field-goal attempts.

Battle Plan of 313 vs. WBC: Revised and Revealed

OK, according to a certain group of hate mongers, I have to completely revise my battle tactics against the Westboro Baptist Church. The day they come here, it's the day prior to the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. Everybody in this state will be pumped by with adrealine and ready to kill anybody who is seen as a traitor. Of course, I don't plan on killing anybody, but I do want to make sure these sewer rats from the WBC get tossed back into the stream of human waste from which they came from. Believe me, the WBC are traitors to America. They claim God hates us, bringing disaster after disaster to us and anybody who supports us. These inbreds will use any news story as an excuse to picket. So, my fellow Detroiters, I ask you to join me in what will now become a three-pronged attack on the Westboro Baptist Church. The fact they use people's misery as an excuse to get their perverted message of Christianity across is sickening, and I want you to be with me in encountering these bastards and show how we Detroiters roll. They've expanded their protests here to include Canada and Mexico, so for everybody in Detroit, especially those in southwest Detroit where our biggest population of Mexicans live and where there is just a river seperating us from Canada, let's send Fred Phelps and his ignorant cult back home wounded and defeated. Here are the times and dates of their planned protests.

Friday, November 21, 2008 from 2:45PM-3:30PM at Grosse Pointe South High School, 11 Grosse Pointe Blvd, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan
Friday, November 21, 2008 from 4:00PM-4:30PM at the Canada Consulate General, 600 Renaissance Center # 1100, Detroit, Michigan
Friday, November 21, 2008 from 4:30PM-5:00PM at the Mexico Consulate General, 645 Griswold St # 1700, Detroit, Michigan

Let's put an end to the bigotry and hatred that comes with these world-class spewers of crap.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Wisconsin vs. Michigan State game

The Hero: Javon Ringer. On senior day, the senior captain gained 121 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries to lead the Spartans to a 21-7 win. Ringer passed Tico Duckett for second place in MSU's all-time record book for rushing yardage.
The Goat: Purdue's offense. A week after a high-scoring win against Michigan, the Boilermakers could only muster 191 yards against MSU.

From the Michigan vs. Minnesota game

The Hero: Michigan defense. After being dominated in an all-time horrific performance against a terrible offense a week ago at Purdue, the Wolverines produced their best performance of the season, holding Minnesota to 188 yards and no touchdowns. They were physical, aggressive and efficient.
The Goat: Minnesota offense. Without star receiver Eric Decker, who started the game with a bad ankle and never got going, spending the second half in street clothes, the Gophers didn't have much of a chance. Quarterback Adam Weber looked lost and finished with just 105 yards passing, 134 below his average.

WILF Wednesday Island Girl Style + Post-Election Thoughts

Hey guys. Tom here again. Now before we get to the moment we've all been waiting for, I'd like to say a few things about the election. First off, congratulations to Barack Obama on becoming the 44th President of the United States. This is truely history in the making. I believe his rival, John McCain, said it best during his concession speech. "But that he managed to to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is somebody I deeply admire and commend him for achieving." Well said, Johnny Mac. It's been 232 years, and the African-American community has an undisputed leader, one who will run the country.

Of course, if you know me, I gave my vote to McCain. I'm sure Obama will do good things while he is in office. What worries me, though, is that he promises to raise taxes for those with an income of $250,000.00 or more. That's bad news for a lot of people. Included here would be my sister's boyfriend's family's company. We consider him and the members of his family as part of our family, and if taxes are raised, they're in deep.

Locally, Thaddeus McCotter kept his spot in the House (yay) and Carl Levin retained in the Senate (boo). Also, Diane Hathaway scored an upset win to make it to the Michigan Supreme Court. The Democrats were supporting her, but so was my family. She was the one who precided over the sexual abuse case of my scum-of-the-earth uncle on my younger cousin. I don't blame Hathaway for the fact he was acquitted. She seemed to go on the side of my cousin. Too bad the jury didn't see it the same way. Besides, Hathaway makes a better choice than the incumbant, Cliff Taylor. Proof:
Don't worry, Cliff, you'll get plenty of sleep. IN A RETIREMENT HOME!

State proposals passed. Proposal 1, allowing the use of medical marijuana passed. Believe it or not, I voted in favor of this. Hey, my best friend's mom used a legal form of the drug when she was dying a brain tumor, God rest her soul. I'm always one in favor of expiermenting with medicine, but not the Nazi way. How else will we know what can help our sick and elderly if we don't try? Which is why I voted for Proposal 2, funding for stem-cell research, which also passed. Again, I like it for the possibility of finding new cures in medicine. Plus, like Proposal 1, Proposal 2 struck me close. What you are going to see is the story of my friend Laura Jackson, who tried for cheerleading before her freshman year of high school in 2002 (we went to the same high school). She tried a backflip, missed it, and was paralyzed from the neck down. This is what happened.
I just hope one day, Laura can be able to walk and breathe on her own.

Now, I'm on the fence about Obama as President, but there is one topic that has really pushed my buttons. Proposition 8 in California. What voting yes on this bill will do is ban gay marriage in the state and negate all current gay marriages. And unfortunately, it looks like it will pass. OK, seriously, what the HONK?! Number one, this takes away any right homosexual couples can enjoy which we as heterosexuals take for granted. Look at it like this. Was heterosexual marriage voted upon? Of course not. So why the hell should gays and lesbians have to wait so long to get what they deserve? I know the Founding Fathers hardly, if ever, contemplated the idea of homosexuality, but this just so antique, we need to grow up and move forward. Number two, this is a direct violation of ex post facto laws. If this measure does pass, as I stated before, all current homosexual marriages in California will be nullified. These marriages occured before the passage of Proposition 8. I can't think of a single reason that this marriages should now be null and void. Ex post facto means after the fact. Why should there a complete termination of California same-sex marriages when they married before the voters took matters into their own hands? Plain and simple, this measure is illegal and bigotry-filled piece of garbage.

Oh, and speaking of bigotry-filled pieces of garbage, guess who's coming back to town? That's right, your friendly neighborhood Westboro Baptist Church members. They're coming to protest the production of The Laramie Project, the play about the hate murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard. The WBC has had a bone to pick with this play because when they protested Shepard's funeral, cult leader Fred Phelps was barricaded from the Shepard family by a group of people dressed as angles, and that moment is prominitely displayed in both the stage production and the HBO made-for-TV movie. So, to my fellow Detroiters, join me in sending the Westboro Baptist Church back to the sewers from which they crawled out of. The time and place: November 21, 2008, from 6:45PM-7:30PM at Grosse Pointe South High School in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan.

Now, over to the good stuff. It's WILF Wednesday, and as usual, thanks to theassman345xxxo for putting this masterpiece together. Oh, and though it's not pornographic, viewer discretion is advised (*Mutant Zombie* Grr. Argh.). So, what is one to say about this Caribbean hottie? She's the best thing to come out of Barbados since my good friend Victor Field, or maybe even this *grabs bottle, shakes it, and surprisingly realizes it's empty* Why is the rum always gone? Anyways, what a splash she has made in just a few years. She took over the world with her debut single "Pon De Replay" and "If It's Lovin' That You Want." With her next album, "S.O.S." became an instant smash, "Unfaithful" chilled millions to the bone, and "Broke It Off" with Sean Paul. Her most recent album found her and Jay-Z using an "Umbrella," told cell phone talkers to "Shut Up & Drive" (OK, I made that part up), told Ne-Yo that she does "Hate That I Love You," advised club DJs "Please Don't Stop the Music," told a cheating boyfriend to "Take a Bow," and taught us that "Disturbia" is more than an excellent Shia LaBeouf movie. Did I mention she has a killer ass? Trust me, she does. She's hot. She's exotic. She's from the same island nation as Victor. She lives in the same city as Butch. She's a Grammy Award winner. She's a Juno Award winner. She's a talented singer. She's Rihanna.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Lions vs. Bears game

The Hero: Rex Grossman. The much-maligned Sexy Rexy was so-so, but he still led the Bears to two second-half scores, including the second rushing TD of his career.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Wisconsin vs. Michigan State game

The Hero: Brett Swenson. Junior kicker was 4-for-4 on field goals and booted a 44-yarder with 7 seconds left to win the game for the Spartans. His third field goal was a 50-yarder.
The Goat: Bret Bielema. The Wisconsin coach's Badgers had 12 penalties, but the 15-yard unsportsmanlike call he received in the fourth quarter gave MSU great field position and helped the Spartans narrow the Badgers' lead to five following Javon Ringer's touchdown.

From the Michigan vs. Purdue game

The Hero: Justin Siller. The Purdue sophomore from Orchard Lake St. Mary's stepped into a difficult situation after only two weeks playing quarterback and shined in his first start. He passed for 226 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 77 yards and another score. He replaced injured Chris Painter, who had started 40 games in a row.
The Goat: U-M defense. No one could expect the defense could be worse than it was much of October, but it degenerated further, into season worsts for points allowed and yards allowed. They were singed through the air (226 yards), on the ground (256 yards) and even tricked on a hook-and-lateral play on the final drive, when the Boilermakers marched downfield in less than a minute to score the winner.
