Finally Something To Celebrate - GO BULLS!

So after a depressing season, something has finally gone right for the Chicago Bulls. No they did not pull a miracle trade that would make us 100 times better. Nor did they get their choice of coach, when Mike D'Antoni choose to coach the Knicks instead of the Bulls. Instead, we actually won the NBA lottery!!! The most amazing part is that they only had a 1.7 percent chance of winning the lottery. Now comes the hard part. Who in the world are they going to pick? Okay, so it is not who in the world, but most probably who out of Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose.

According to Chad Ford of ESPN, he believes the Bulls will be picking Beasley. While, I am not so sure of their choice, I think either way, the Bulls will be improved. :) The one major advantage that Rose has an intangible factor, he is a hometown candidate. Unlike Beasley, whose hometown is Fitchburg, Massachusetts and went to Kansas State, Rose went to Memphis and his hometown is Chicago, Illinois. With that said, the Bulls definitely need help in the low post and Beasley is a power forward, while Rose is a point guard.

In the end, the solution is easy. Sit back and relax and get ready to say GO BULLS!!

Happy Bump Day?

I have heard of Wednesday being referred to as “Hump Day,” but Baskin Robbins is trying to have tomorrow referred to as “Bump Day.” From 11 AM – 10 PM in certain markets (California, Chicago, New York, Nashville, TN, and El Paso, TX), expectant mothers can receive a free 3 ounce cone of their soft serve ice cream. Yes, soft serve ice cream.

Baskin Robbins is now offering soft serve ice cream. In addition to a cone, they are also offering sundaes, pies, and what appears to be their equivalent to a Dairy Queen Blizzard. Their version is called a “31 Below” and is available in the following six flavors: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Heath, Oreo, Chocolate Oreo, Fudge Brownie, and Strawberry Banana. I am skeptical that theirs is as good as Dairy Queen’s, but if they want to send me a free coupon to try one, I would gladly do so. Otherwise, I will stick with my Blizzard.

For those that are nutritionally conscious, below is a table that highlights the nutritional differences between a vanilla cone with vanilla soft serve income from Baskin Robbins, McDonalds, and Dairy Queen:

	Baskin Robbins	McDonalds	Dairy Queen
Serving Size (oz)	6	3.2	5
Calories	280	150	240

Carbohydrates (g)	37	24	32
Cholesterol (mg)	40	15	20

So all you expectant mothers, go out and celebrate. If anyone tries Baskin Robbins new soft serve ice cream, please let me know how it tastes.

Illinois Traffic Stalled Because They Did Not Have Enough Milk

Today in Illinois, traffic was backed up on Interstate 80, when a tractor trailer driver fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median. However, this was not the typical tractor trailer. This tractor trailer was loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos. So when the Oreos were spewed all over the road, traffic came to a complete standstill. My solution was to have all of the local elementary schools drop off their kids on the highway with a glass of milk, and let them clean up the road. Any one disagree?
