Johnny loves to throw the interwebs phrase 'PWNED' around a lot. This is using it properly.
From a shootout in one of the Swedish hockey leagues we get this goal. Johnny thought he'd see 'em all...

Did ya know then, FOX is working on a sitcom based in Hoboken?
Parker Posey will play a Hoboken yuppie (How on earth did she find research material?) who works in New York at a publishing house. The show will be called "I know who you peed on last St. Patrick's Day Parade". OK, OK, it'll be called "The Return of Jezebel James." The show is from the producer of the highly annoying 'Gilmore Girls" show.
Oops, wait, the show was cancelled. After only three episodes. Guess the world isn't ready for shows based on Hoboken people. It would have had a ten season run if it were based here in Jersey City and based on Johnny's life.
Really, a show on characters who live in Hoboken? We were happy to show the folly here....

Late night open thread
It was on this day in 1994, 15 years ago that Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain committed suicide in Seattle.

What's the big deal about North Korea launching a missile, The Jersey City Desk does it all the time
So far, since we got out there, we have launched small rockets with Jersey City Desk satellites for the weather, for our mobile uplink, for the GPS (Kiki tends to get lost) and one for spying. We launch them right over New York City and we haven't hit anything yet (that we'll admit to). We just head to a parking lot down by the Hudson River, light the ACME fuse and boom, instant satellite. So North Korea launched a missile/rocket over Japan, BIG DEAL, it happens.

His name is Durrell Summers, he's 6' 4" 195 lbs...
The UCONN player he's about to posterize is Stanley Robinson: 6' 9" and 220 lbs. Just listen to the ROAR of 60,000 Michigan State fans in Ford Field. That HAD to be intimidating to the UCONN kids...
SPARTY ON!
SPARTY ON!
Final Four open thread
Johnny has shuttered the Jersey City Desk office today and sent Zoltron and Kiki home, or off to New York City so we can all watch the games. Johnny's going to eat himself into a coma. He's sent an advance team to Balduccis over at 8th Avenue and 14th Street in New York to bring home some tasty morsels for the coming feast.
Use this thread should you have anything to comment on for the Final Four, NHL hockey or maybe you wanna get a jump on baseball's start later next week.

Dear Basketball God(s),
Johnny here, we don't talk much it's true. Johnny's not the biggest hoops fan as you well know. Yeah, it's been a while, 2005 I believe. Do you suppose there is any way you could work some botulism tainted food into the UCONN breakfast chow line tomorrow morning? Nothing fatal or anything like that, just enough so Pepto Bismol doesn't cut it and the Huskies are, shall we say, dehydrated. Consider it cosmic retribution for two reasons. #1 Calhoun is a cheater. Not an "I bought a plane ticket for a kid because his grandma died" cheater, no, Johnny means "a lack of institutional control cheater". #2, the state of Michigan sure could use it. While the rest of America is in the first or second year of the recession, Johnny's friends back in the Great Lakes State are in the eighth year of theirs. A really nice weekend where Detroit comes off as the beautiful city across the river from Windsor Ontario that has successfully hosted Super Bowls and the world's largest outdoor electronic music festival would be divine. It would give some mighty fine people a few hours away from their cares and give a quick infusion of happy that's badly needed. Hey, 20,000, yep, TWENTY THOUSAND Spartan fans went to watch them PRACTICE at Ford Field today. Of course you'll want to reward that kind of interest in your game.
Plus, those kids at MSU and head coach Tom Izzo are really great people. They don't go looking for cameras when they dunk a ball, they go looking for teammates. You never ever ever have to ask if Tom Izzo is running a clean program. Besides, Michigan State plays basketball the way you basketball gods intended; hard work, DEFENSE, no cutting corners and sweat equity. Why, we can even make a Jersey City case here as none other than the greatest two year college player in NCAA history, Earvin 'Magic' Johnson recently opened a restaurant here in the big JC. He grew up in Michigan, played High School ball at Lansing Everett, college at MSU, pro ball in Los Angeles but when it came time to open a business, he chose Jersey City. Ya see, it's Kismet.
Look, sleep on it, you don't have to so meddle with UCONN's food until morning anyway. It sure would be a swell gesture though. Oh, and if you see the hockey god(s) tell them Johnny's gonna need to see them again this year too.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BLONDIE!
Yep, Johnny was in the mood for some Blondie tonight and while he loves most of the Debbie Harry and Chris Stein penned tunes, this is one of his all time favorites. If any of you NYC hep cats know where Johnny could see and or meet Ms. Debbie don't hesitate to let him know, he'd love to meet her and tell her what a great influence she's been on him musically. She's just too cool for school. A voice like an angel and inflections that really really hit their mark.
Here's Blondie with 'Slow Motion'
