Kim's new bf and an employed Sip

So before I get going with today's post, I wanted to report that after a 3 month struggle (or vacation) in SF, Young Sip has found a job. Assistant Manager of Promotions at AT&T Park for the SF Giants. It's not the front office but it gets me to the stadium every day at a wage that should keep me in my daily routine of sandwiches and water.

To those who supported my struggle, much love.

To the "anonymous" fucker from yesterday's post, sack up and throw a name on there. Show some balls. Unless of course it was AFOMG, then it would be very funny. (Sorry Sip, wasn't me.)

But as you can see, I do check the comments on Y2k. It's a good way to get a sense of who our readers are and what their thoughts may be.

Yesterday Cousin Tonks demanded a more appropriate serving of Kim's boyfriend, Barry. Cousin, like with life, you are correct.

Back in 2001, the Mets had a manager that everyone loved. He was fun, fiery and crazy. He changed his lineup constantly and it worked. While the Mets were clearly Mike Piazza's team, Bobby was always in the background.

Bobby was great. I loved him, he was among my favorite Mets. There aren't too many other managers that you can say that about.

In season 3 of 24 there was Chase Hammond. He too was fun, fiery and crazy. For those of you who haven't seen season 3, Chase was the young, white Curtis -- a badass field agent that garnered our respect on many levels. Not only did he dominate on the field, but he made headlines in the gossip pages for being the proud owner of the penis that found its way into Kim Bauer.

I loved Chase, we loved Chase. Just like we loved Bobby.

But for certain reasons both Chase and Bobby had to go. Chase had one hand after his heroism in the finale of season 3. (Editor's note: Point of contention here. Didn't they make it clear that they had been able to surgically restore his hand because it was only severed briefly? How did he get a job in security in season 4 if he had only one hand?)

Bobby had one arm too, you might say, from all his bullpen changes and double switches. In both cases, the people at the top were ready to have these guys move on, whether or not we as fans felt the same way.

The decisions were controversial not only for what they stood for, but for the things that would follow.

The Mets hired Art Howe. Howe was tall, indecisive and a herb. He has a feminine name and from pretty much day 1 we didnt like him. One month into his tenure at Shea and we had had enough. "Fire Art" chants in the stands and those demanding Bobby V's return grew restless.

So last night we were introduced to Barry.

First off, the dude's name is Barry. Barry Bonds is hatable, Barry Lyons, the former Mets backstop, stunk and all and all, Barry is just a name meant for losers. To my readers named Barry, I'm sorry, but I have no idea who you are because I know no male Barry's.

But it's clear, from the name, that the writers want us to hate this guy.

Like Howe, Barry is tall, indecisive and a herb. Even worse, it is made clear that Barry, the type of guy who should know Kim only in his mind's eye when he is beating off, won Kim over when she was in therapy, completely vulnerable yet still ridiculously hot.

People like Chase beat up Barry for kicks. This guy belongs on the Discovery Channel, not anywhere near being associated with sweet Kimmy Bauer.

So yes Cousin, like you, I hope Barry get his ass killed. Life would never get better for this guy anyway. When Kim comes to her senses and is put back in place by pops, Barry will be on his way back to Starbucks trying to "regurgitate Gordon Wood," to pick up some tail.

Unfortuantely, the only thing he would get is an overpriced cup of coffee and the realization that he is a 1 to Kim's 1,000,000.

So Barry and the actor that plays Barry, a diehard Yankee fan since 1996 so I've read, hope things don't work out for you.

As for Kim Bauer, word in the cyber world is that she is into jocks. Think she'll settle for an assistant manager of promotions? I can get her some free towels to dry her perfect blonde hair.

I guess we will see soon enough.

VCD,
