I've never hid my love for both Method Man and Redman. How High is still a ridiculous movie. Add in Bun-B from UGK, and I'm there.

I'm not down with new, just-released music, so apologies if this is older than I thought. Method and Red just dropped a new single with Bun-B called City Lights, and that was enough for me to give it a listen. Nothing blew me away about the song, but it's not bad altogether.

However, Bun-B proved that my respect for him is warranted...he mentions the Steelers in his verse. Real quick, he talks about his car's paint job, saying:

"I'm ridin' both black and yellow stripes like a Steeler"

Nice. If I had the money, I would totally buy that car.

The song is below. Lyrics are NSFW, as if I had to even tell you that.

Cheers to Liz, who sends this picture from a friend. Liz passed this one along last week. I really have no idea about the context of this picture.

Game 3 against the Flyers, with the Pens up 2-0 in the series, drops today at 3 PM. On NBJerks. MAF would like to remind you how close we were to this being a tied, 1-1 series heading back to Philly.

Don't get complacent, Pens fans and players. This series isn't over until the Flyers are completely dissected. The 2 game cushion is nice, but that's what was expected of the higher-seeded home team. And MAF's toes are the main reason we're in this position.

Foot on the gas the rest of the way, Pengrins fans.

Go Pens!

Man, these couldn't have come at a better time. My voice is completely shot after the incredible OT win in Game 2, and some Chinese people could probably sum up my emotions better.

Props to my buddy Gavin for sending these along. Apparently, they're blocking Youtube in China, so he traveled to Hong Kong to get them onto the Internet. Dedication at its finest.

We've seen China Jack and the unnamed Chinese students go to great lengths to profess their Steelers and Pitt Panthers fandoms, but it's hockey season now. And Gavin wouldn't be a true Pittsburgher without converting everyone into Penguins fans. It just had to happen.

Here's China Jack (and his famous bottle of Martell) toasting the Pens and hoping for success in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. Jack sounds a little bent, but CHEERS PENGRINS nonetheless!

And here's Gavin's students, with a fantastic chant for the team. Since we got the Flyers currently, one girl states that "Flyers fans have the IQ of sweet potatoes." I couldn't come up with something half as clever if I tried.

Now, instead of giving you some mindless recap while I try to heal my dead voice, I give you the comedic stylings of some fantastic Chinese Pengrins fans. You wouldn't have it any other way, right?

Go Pens!

Since we're getting ready for Game 2, here's a collection of Penguins stuff for your eyes and ears.

First off, Jim's trying to do a Yinz Luv Da Guins episode after each game. I applaud his efforts, and have posted the Game 1 recap here:

Next, how cute are Geno's parents? At least that's what this video says, and I'd have to agree.

Finally, Pensburgh via Deadspin lets us know that some Pens fan wants a date for Game 2 with a hot chick Pens fan. For $1. On Cragslist.There's still some time left before the puck drops, ladies...

Go Pens!

UPDATE** NBC is shutting down the outside screen for Game 3, since they're broadcasting it nationally. What a joke of a move. Pensblog has email addys for some NBC bigwigs so you can let them know how you feel about that decision.

Here's an old Snickers commercial featuring Penguins great Mario Lemieux. And his hair.

The whole thing is in French, and it's old, so I can't really offer you any insightful analysis . "Wow, the quality is crappy." "Why isn't this in English?" "Snickers bars rule." There, that's pretty much all you should expect anyway.

This is the side of my buddy Cotter's shoes. That's definitely Meaty and Mini Horse from Rob and Big. Quite possibly the best shoes ever.

Don't forget to enter to win free tickets to Midgets vs. Mascots. [PSAMP]

If you hadn't heard, Midgets vs. Mascots is a new movie that's set to come out soon, featuring Gary Coleman, Ron Jeremy, Scottie Pippen and a group of, well, midgets and mascots. Here's the premise:

"In this “Borat” meets “Jackass” shockumentary, 5 little people and 5 mascots battle for $1 million apiece in competitions like “how few insults does it take to get punched in a bar”, and “alligator wrestling”. Gary Coleman, leading the littles as himself, is a comedic freight train (or train wreck) as he gets into actual fist fights with mascots, coaches and even Scottie Pippen. Like “Borat”, much of the film is shot “guerilla improv” as they surprise unsuspecting bystanders when the teams crash restaurants, bars and neighborhoods during outrageous competitions."

In honor of the film being shown at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival, my good buds at Gunaxin are hosting a pre-screening party, complete with Scottie Pippen himself. And I have two free tickets to give away. For those of you in the New York City area, or those willing to travel to NYC on April 26th should you win, here's what you have to do:

- Email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with a picture of a mini pony, preferably one I've never used, with your own potential MPotD writeup. In my own Mini Ponies of the Day, I try to make you laugh, so be funny.

- That's it.

Winner will be chosen at random, and will have their pony picture and writeup featured next week. In addition to that great honor, you'll receive two (2) free tickets to the screening and party. Right now, the party is sold out, so these are pretty exclusive.

I'll be there, as well as some of my good blogging buddies and Scottie Pippen. You'll also watch a potentially hilarious movie before anyone else.

I'll take submissions until Saturday night. So get moving.

After last night's game, which included a great goal by Geno, who wouldn't want to steal away the 2009 Art Ross winner?

My buddy Benson came up with another Burghability commercial for Iron City Beer (remember the brilliant first one?). In the latest, the success of the Pens, and especially Geno, forces a "friend" to reveal himself as a Russian spyset on bringing Malkin back to Russia to play.

As I've said before, the Drinkability commercials are terrible...but Benson tweaked them just enough to make the hilariously awesome. The Penguins plotlines, the shilling of Iron City and the inclusion of "Burgh " into the title just makes these parodies light up. Almost enough to make me respect Bud Light's original commercials.

Thanks to Liz for this one. I used one like this a few weeks ago, but this one is different. And it still gets a...
