Ick.
Sorry… lots to do, so little time to blog. I feel bad, not having the time to visit everyone’s sites. I could go into details, but eh, that’s not why you come here. You come here to say, “Geez, what the crap is this Dramamine Boy guy smoking!?!”, or “I sure am glad I’m not THAT guy!”. So, there will once again be a few short blogs in the interim… blogs that make you say, “THAT’S IT!?!”, or “Dram doesn’t blog for over a week and all he can come up with is THAT!?!”.
Boy, you people sure do talk to yourself a lot.
Anyway, first off…
Yuta Tabuse is alive and well in the American Basketball Association!
You heard right, the ABA! With teams in basketball hot-beds such as Fresno, California and Juarez, Mexico, this league is second only to the NBA! *
* If you don’t include the NBDL… or the CBA… or the European Leagues… or any of the collegiate teams… or that really good team at the local YMCA.
That’s right, the masterful owners of the Long Beach Jam knew a good thing when they saw it. As soon as the morons running the Denver Nuggets cut Yuta, they immediately signed him to a contract to play in the ABA.
The result? Why, let’s take a look at the standings…

OF COURSE THEY'RE IN FIRST! They have Yuta!
Yuta missed a few games recently with an injured knee and ankle. Yeah, right. More like the league ordered him not to play so the rest of the league could catch up. I mean, I can't fault 'em, otherwise, the Jam would continue to humiliate the rest of the competition, turning the rest of the league into a laughing stock.
So, the good news is, Dramamine Boy's Xanga will be able to give the readers out there what you really want... all Yuta, all the time! The bad news is, this will probably drop him out of the leaderboard for most Shadow Puppets Created.
Anyway, when you think of the ABA, three names should immediately come to mind... Julius "Dr. J" Erving, George "The Iceman" Gervin and now Yuta "I have no nickname cuz The Man is trying to keep me out of the NBA" Tabuse.
There's a new show on Spike TV coming up this Sunday called The John Henson Project. Spike TV has been constantly running commercials hyping up this show. In one of them, this guy complains about how much the beer is at the football stadium and John Henson tells him to pour his beer on one of those foam finger things, turning it into a beer sponge that you can suck on during the game.
Ummm... okay.
WE'RE NUMBER ONE!
In another commercial, a guy is in a crowded bar and he can't get the bartender's attention to order. John Henson shows up and says, "Hey, isn't that Anna Kournikova out there?" and everyone in the bar runs out to look, allowing the guy to order his drink.
Uhhhh... is this funny? I mean, I know there are things out there that some people think are hilarious and I don't, but usually I have a decent grasp of funny. With material like this, how the heck did this guy get a TV show? Is television that hard up for new shows these days? I gotta watch this show, cuz if it's as lame as I think it's gonna be, I'm goin' straight to Spike TV and demand my own show.
Man, this show would so rule.
A Few Dramamine Boy's Xanga (overdue) Thank Yous!!
Sydney chickie made me Featured Xangan of the Millennium! Or, maybe it was Featured Xangan of the Week or Minute or something. Since her new layout seems to be missing the ability to look back to her previous blogs, I guess I'll just have to wait for my official Featured Xangan trophy to arrive so I can figure out how long my Featured Xangan reign is.
Anyway, I'd tell everyone to go subscribe to Sydney's site, but... doesn't everyone already?
I was featured in ZangaZine! Took me a couple of weeks to realize it, which is somewhat strange, since I subscribe to the ZangaZine site... and Library Princess posted that she nominated my blog for ZangaZine... and she and another Dramamine Boy's Xanga subscriber, lorien marene, recently took over to help produce ZangaZine, which shoulda clued me in a bit... and ZangaZine also posted a comment that said they included my blog in their issue... okay, nobody said I was very observant.
Regardless, I'm still waiting for my cash prize. I mean, this IS just like the Nobel Prize, right?
Finally, a word of warning:
The Xanga world just got a little sillier. My friend Bill just started his very own Xanga site. He's the first person that has come to my site and said, "Geez, I could do a better job that that yahoo!"... well, actually, I think everyone says that (especially the "yahoo" part), but how many people THEN decided to start blogging themselves to prove their point? WOOHOO! WHAT AN HONOR!
Comments (25)
woo FIRST
your friend bill? you mean me? then i read on some more and clicked the link. a pox on you, you teaser of men, you. hmf.
but hey, he does give your blogs a run for their money. and so what if you haven’t updated in a while? just don’t be like that strongbad guy from homestarrunner.com. they’d be knee-smacking hilarious in the past. but now it takes him forever to update and when he does, they’re just lukewarm at best.
wow. how’s that for a long-ass comment?
yay! you updated!
oh and i have also been watching spike tv and seeing those ads for that show and i’m like “hmmmmm….ok then”…my parents were laughing tho, so i dunno heh
take care!
*tapping feet* Where have u been??? haha U must be around 35 from the comment u gave me last time. haha Anyway, it’s great ur that old coz in comparison to u, I’m still a baby. hahahaha Ok seriously, thank god u updated!!!!!! I got something to read….and hey, ur friend Bill is cool too. I can digest his stuffs.
your baby pix are way too adorable!
John Henson used to be the host of a show called Talk Soup on E!, which was hosted by Greg Kinnear before him. Greg Kinnear was way funnier…
Your baby pictures are so cute!
I have this feeling you could put your baby pics on coffee mugs, t-shirts and it would sell… because their so cute.
=’.'=
I wish my name were Yuta…that was be so bad ass…side note: that whole Dramamine-Brady Bunch thing, is really really freaky
they shouldnt have cut yuta if only for the early boykins/yuta tabuse promos that would come out of it…
and really bad pop-culture referenced nickname for him: yuta “gary” tabuse
and..i actually was kinda looking forward to seeing brian henson on tv after he was hilarious on talk soup; but those promos have to be written by a combination of everyone’s really sexist cheesy uncle who laughs loudest at his own jokes.
i would buy those t-shirts!

Your show wouldn’t work very well. Mostly because of all of those damn hats yer parents made you wear as a child. *shudders*
I’d watch it though. It seems like a mix between Scooby-Doo and Transformers with a kick of Power-Puff Girls. *nods*
queL
hahaha i would SO watch the dram show
When poor little Dram was just a wee lad with his funky hats and strong fashion sense, I took him aside and said “Dram, one day you will rule the world.” It seems as if he took it to heart since his manifesto is basically printed on his xanga site.
Now the bad news, I can not tell you how many poor little wee lads wearing funky hats and a strong fashion sense that they could rule the world. Many of those people are now in jail, but I still have Dram to hope, coddle and dream that maybe one day become his second in command.
BTW- he has been playing a ton of CS lately–that is the reason he hasn’t been writing a lot.
You crack me up. And not only late at night when I’m punchy.
HAha, you know what’s the greatest show on SpikeTV? Most Extreme Elimination Challenge!! Gawd that show’s a riot.
And yes, if you had your own show, you’d own the whole cable TV network!! Woohoo!
ahahahhaha….
that collage… those hats.
puhahaha…..
sigh.
good stuff.
So then you’re something of the Xanga Messiah huh? OOOOOOOOHHHH! Sounds yummy
YUTA!!! I missed him!
Haha, I would totally watch your show. Can I guest star on it?
I’m constantly telling people that I should have my own variety hour on tv. I think it would rock. Hey maybe you and I should team up and creat one we’d really set the world on their ear. I swear I’m more funny in person than I am on my blog.
I like your previous entry on ROTK. I think you and Libraryprincess should get together and have a discussion about homo-erotic subtext. It’s her obsession!
I could do better than you, yahoo. But that’s only because I am the only one that thinks I’m funny. It’s nice when someone will laugh at me, even if they are mocking me in a humiliating way.

Dram, “Madison” on my list of 10 things I can’t live without is the name of my hard drive. (C:/)
Hence… I can’t live without my computer, because it gives me XANGAAA.

anatawa, baka desuka?
aannnoooo…hajimemashite dozouyorishiku! Wow, I think I popped something internal when I read that ROTK analysis. That had to be the best I’ve ever read. Better than Time’s article!! Well, not really but it was much more humorous. Spike TV is great. I love watching that japanese challenge show and they dub it over in English. OH MY GOD. FUNNY ASS SHIT! Wow John Henson…he hasn’t done crap since Talk soup which was really funny back then. Anyways, I’m coming back often you make me laugh.
misterdonut - Hahaha… yeah. If it makes you feel any better, when I think of “Bill on Xanga”, you’re the first person I think of.
hello_58701 - You might want to test your parents to see if they’ve been replaced by aliens who have no clue what is funny.
blondless - Yeah, I’m “around” 35… um… kinda depends on how close “around” is.
wwny - Adorable to you, embarassing to me!
lemontea - Yeah, I liked Greg Kinnear too. It took me awhile to get used to his character in As Good As It Gets, since I kept waiting for some smart-ass remark to come out of his mouth.
Firey17 - Funny you should mention such things (foreshadowing for a future Dramamine Boy’s Xanga blog). =)
CrazyGB - Ya, I knew I took it a step too far… I shoulda put Alice in the middle.
nowitinvolved - Hahahaha… yeah, I kinda remember him on Talk Soup and he was pretty funny. I guess he didn’t write his own material or something, cuz he sucks now.
chelsea21 - Well, I’m just gonna have to make that promise come true!
queLness - And what about the coolness factor of Dexter’s Lab!?!
Bloodberry - Woohoo! Look out Friends! Dram’s on your butt!
Bootleg_Hero - CS? What’s that? =P
eFairy - Yay, good to know I’m funny 24 hours a day! Or, you’re punch 24 hours a day.
CindyWang - When I saw the previews for that show, I thought, “Man, this is an Discrimin-Asian episode waiting to happen”, but after watching it, it was just too funny to ridicule.
shamrocks -
Shugadadeo - Xanga Messiah? Whoa, I dunno about that. I was aiming more for something like “the leader of Xanga stupidity”.
KittyKat7 - Sure, why not! You’re sure to do a better job than Oliver from the Brady Bunch!
astrohooker - Well, I’m less funny in real life, so you can be on TV and I’ll just write.
AlamosaGirl - People laughing at me instead of with me… yeah, that sounds like what happens here all the time!
queLness - Oh… I should have known that… uh, yeah.
Bloodberry - Ow…. ow, ow.
Bmonk - Hai, baka desu.
Ellehia_Meltintalle - Hahaha… thanks and welcome to the silliness!
Oh, Darren, they aren’t laughing AT you–they’re laughing near you.
