Spring Preview: Kelby is getting ready!!
We thought it may never end. For what seemed like ages, everyone across Minnesota was forced to plod through mile-high walls of snow in bone-chilling temperatures day after day after day. We were continually bombarded with torrential snowstorms, making Minnesotans hate shoveling more than Schumer hates Gary. Just when the weather seemed to be turning pleasant, the snowclouds let us have it. It was like we were popcorn movie buffs and the clouds were JPZx, putting us in our places. I mean, we got snow in May! That's almost as funny as Cris Collinsworth's timeless jokes.
But now, finally, the sun is finally starting to shine! Allow me to break the news because, of course, that's what I do best ;) spring is finally here! Eager leisure-lovers around the state have been taking advantage of the glorious weather by hitting the tennis courts, softball fields, and golf courses. However, the dawn of spring means something entirely different for one tough son-gun. Let me ask all y'all DEJG readers across the globe a question: do the words Kelby Buck mean anything to you?
True as toast, Kelby is getting ready to spend another entire summer in the Perovich family pool. Last year on those unbearable summer scorchers, the gang and I did everything we could to try to swoop sweet, sweet pool time, but we always failed (except for a few glorious forbidden midnight dips). Kelby dominated that pool as fiercly as James Rymarchick dominates the baseline with his buttery J. From sunrise to sunset, Kelby only left the pool only to get an occasional bowl of cereal--which he filled with pool water. Other than that, he was swimming every moment of the day. And he's ready to do it again.
While the rest of us have been frolicking about, Buck has started to stockpile the necessary supplies. Multiple witnesses report that he has been loading up on flippers, floaties, tubes, goggles, mermaid legs, those things you lay down in with the drink holders, and, of course, noodles. Kelby's spending spree has absolutely crippled Walmart's inventory of aquatic goods, sending American pool-owners/Rollback-enthusiasts into anti-Kelbian tirades. One angry lady under the user-name Watermom had this to say about Buck on The PoolForum:
"I hate that cow! Does he think that his Goodhue championship trophies earn him a free pass to all the pool gear he wants? If I EVER see him around, I'm gonna gouge his eyes out so he can never watch SportsCenter again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yikes! Needless to say, Watermom was banned from The PoolForum for these threats. I have a theory that she is locked up in the übercreepy attic above the Perovich's pool, but that is another story for another day. I contacted Walmart's corporate office for an interview on how they are holding up after Kelby swept their stores like he Jason Terry (Hi-yo! Lakers, SUCK ON THAT ONE!) with President & CEO William S. Simon, but he was not available for comment. From what I hear, he has taken refuge in the Caribbean after Watermom apparently threatened to bite his nose off when Ragu was taken off of Walmart's shelves. Instead, Eduardo Solórzano, President and CEO of Walmart Latin America, released this statement:
"The fact thatKelby Buck continues to obliterate our supply of pool accessories is not news to us. Years ago when he began hoarding supplies, I couldn't believe it. But we have adjusted and Walmart will be fine. However, I have heard that Kelby is always in the pool. ¡¿Siempre en la piscina?! Outrageous! He has become a living legend around the office! Now, everybody calls him Pasa Gorda Grande, which means Big Fat Prune. This man is lo...wait for it...co!
¡¡¡LOCO!!!"
Crazy is one way to describe it. Others call it ridiculous. Even fish say it's excessive. I happen to call it an Engage Eight blitz of passion. But whatever you call it, Kelby doesn't care. Don't believe me? You can ask him, but pretty soon there won't be any words coming out of his mouth. Only bubbles.

VC is officially bound for St. Thomas...LEGGO!
But exactly why is Vinny sharing a seat on the Tommie Train with Fridgemala? Well I'll fill you in, cause that's what I do best ;) I recently got a chance to catch up with Vinner and asked him why he chose UST. He said, "I really couldn't pick between Stout, Winona St., and St. Thomas because they all gave me more free gear than Urban Outfitters has Rob Krummel t-shirts. So it pretty much came down to one thing:
"The Choji Zone."
It's a place so legendary and so mythical, some question its very existence. Tall tales are passed down from generation to generation, but few who have entered the Choji Zone ever live to tell the tale. It makes The Hangover look like an episode of That's So Raven. It makes Hatchett's infamous Rounds look about as dangerous as a fiesta in Senor Colemon's class. The person who can describe it most accurately is Chinni himself: "Choji Zone= My Life, Your Entertainment"
Vince explained to me that he initially thought the Choji Zone was a Lego dreamland because of the catchphrase "Leggo!' that often signals that the Choji Zone is in session, but t
We know if anybody can take the Choji Zone in stride, it's VC. We can't wait to see how the Big Fella does in the Zone and on the field! Congrats and good luck, Vince :D There's only one thing left to say...
LEGGOOOOO!!!

Darko Boyz to start last game vs. The Houston Rockets

Point Guard
#10 Joe Perovich aka Perocri (Elementary School: Pike Lake) vs. #7 Kyle Lowry (College: Villanova)
Joe Perovich will have to look to use his money pull-up jumper that he developed on the concrete courts of Pike Lake to offset Lowry's quickness. For Lowry's sake (Diane's cousin), he might want to show up to the Target Center wearing a protective neck brace and eye goggles so he won't be rattled by Perovich's patent throat jabs and eye gouges. Perovich will have to look to contain Lowry's penetration to prevent the other Rockets from feeding off Lowry's mad passing skills. After seeing Perovich lead CTK #2 to second place in the Augsburg Tournament, I have to say the advantage is in the Darko Boyz' favor.
Advantage: Darko Boyz
Shooting Guard
#25 Jacob Ruff aka BDRuffy (Elementary School: Pike Lake) vs.
#12 Kevin Martin (College: Western Carolina)
Jacob Ruff, a member of the Juicy Staff, will look to use his running hook shots to keep the sharp-shooting Kevin Martin off balance and second guessing. One thing certain about Ruff is that he will bring a lot of swag to basketball court, his collection of racquetball goggles, headbands, XBOX (the original) games, and sweatbands are second to none. If this was Madden 2011 his Old Spice swagger rating would be a cool 88, higher than any other white player in the game. If Ruff can keep Martin from getting off his quick trigger 3 the Darko Boyz will have a big advantage over the Houston Rockets.
Advantage: Darko Boyz
Small Forward
#32 Bryan Sprang aka Nice Legs (Elementary School: Bel Air) vs.
#10 Chase Budinger (College: Arizona)
Nice Legs Sprang leg's are so shiny that the glare off of them will probably blind Budinger causing him to have trouble seeing passes and shooting his outside shot. Hopefully, for the Darko Boyz, the leg's glare will offset the constant fire on top of Budinger's head. Back to the X's and O's, Bryan will have to look to use his tough guy mentality to kill Pretty Boy Budinger's Pretty Boyness and doing so will allow B to dominate in the paint. Also, Sprang will have to use his outside shot to stretch the Rocket's shorts, because they will crap them after seeing his beautiful jumper, and their defense.
Advantage: Darko Boyz
Power Forward
#5 Derek Sprang aka D-Train (Elementary School: Bel Air) vs.
#44 Chuck Hayes (College: Kentucky)
First of all, for the record Dontrelle Willis stole the D-Train nickname from Derek, but anyways Derek will look to use his outside game to Chuck uncomfortable on defense because he usually on plays under the basket. Another thing Derek will have in his favor is his supreme usage of his Charizard Pokemon Card. Most people stunned by the 120 HP, higher than any pokemon, will be lost in holographic card causing them not to be able to focus on defense. Chuck Hayes will be no different after his obsession with Pokemon was shared with the world on his radio show.
Advantage: Darko Boyz
Center
Darko Milicic aka The Stache (Elementary School: The School of Hard Knocks) vs. Luis Scola (College: Argentina University)
Advantage: Darko Boyz
The Darko Boyz Bench
Jared Johnson #22, James Rymarchick #1, Josh Presbitero #00, Nick Hatchett #33, and #15 Nolan Johnson
Prediction
Darko Boyz: 101 Rockets: 76

Mike Barton's Cover Blown!!
"If you don't make mistakes, you don't make anything."
When this proverbial statement was written, it's clear that the author (somehow) had Mike Barton in mind. Sure, we all make mistakes that cause minor inconveniences in our day. Sometimes, for instance, Pero forgets to wash the finger-paint off of his fingers before coming to school from his daycare. Oftentimes Jake Rice mispronounces words like "leopard" and you wonder if he actually went to elementary school. A snafu that hits home for me is when Presbi wears my gloves in the bathroom. These mistakes, however frustrating, can be overcome. But, oooh doggy, let me tell you: Mikey B screwed the pooch in a big, big way this weekend.
To those of you who are confused, let me let you in on the secret: Mike Barton makes nuclear bombs in his basement. Always has. Since he was a little boy he has spent countless nights assembling warheads with his bare hands in a dark room lit only with candles. Over the years he has stockpiled an outrageous amount of bombs in his cellar. Last I heard, the tally was over 1400. But the production of these nukes was kept perfectly clandestine for years--ever since he was 6, nobody but him has stepped foot into the basement. Not even Mama B. So why, you may be asking, did he make this crucial mistake after 12 years of secrecy? Two words: Jackass 3.
You can't blame the man for loving the Jackass trilogy (definitely including Jackass 2.5; is that even a question?). He had just gotten his paws on the third installment of Knoxville & Co's brilliant series when he began discussing a potential viewing party with a friend, Mohamed Sakallah. Once again, I can't say that wouldn't be doing the same because if I had a crispy copy of Jackass 3, I would be sprinting laps around my block wearing nothing but my blue suede Air Force One's (the pair that Tamesha also has). But the whirl of manic excitement caused an inexplicable error on the part of Googs. Daydreams of classic Jackass stunts like "Apple of My Ass" and "Hellicockter" clouded his better judgment, and he invited a handful of friends to watch the movie in the Bomb Cave.
The aforementioned quote proved to just as true as Matt Milosovich owning the entire collection of Desperate Housewives DVDs; Mike made a mistake, and now he's not able to make any more bombs. Sure, we all laughed at all of the weiners, buttcracks, farts, and dump that Jackass provided us, but the tone of the evening was a somber one. Even though the we were all much safer when the S.W.A.T. Team came and removed all of the bombs from the basement, we all felt sad for ol' Mike. I asked him how he felt about losing all of his life's work, and he said through a translator, "It's very upsetting, but now I get to start all over again." The devilish grin on his face told the whole story: he may be down, but he's far from out.

Nolan Johnson and Toucan Sam to take Paternity Test on the Maury Show
"You gots a bigger beak than Toucan Sam." exclaims Jerry Siafah in the midst of a rap battle on the back of the Irondale Basketball bus. Jerry isn't the only person to notice the similarity of Nolan's and Toucan Sam's nose, and it has come to the attention of Maury Povich, the host of the highly successful show "Maury". Maury has decided to do an hour long special and at the conclusion of the show the paternity test results will be read to see if Nolan is truly the father of this very lovable Toucan. When reached to see if he had a comment, Nolan said, "I'm not the father of this Toucan, how can a human have a child that is a bird? This claim is completely ridiculous." However, one trip 5 years ago to the Costa Rican rain forest makes Nolan's claim to seem a little suspect. When reached, Toucan Sam either refused to comment or he couldn't talk because after all he is a bird. Overall, this suggests that Nolan is the father to this Fruit Loops logo but the truth will be released officially on the Maury show in the upcoming weeks.

How Pero Got The Body Of His Dreams!!
Have you noticed the new-look Joe Perovich patrolling around the hallways of Irondale, sporting a fresh new barrage of V-neck shirts and flaunting his stunning AmbercromBODY? If you answered that question in the negative, let me ask you this: have you been living in Mike Barton's nuclear bomb-laden cellar for the past year?!?! Oh well, I'll fill you in because that's what I do best ;)
Last summer, I interviewed Perovich about his eating habits while at his Fridley home on a play date. When I asked him about what he ate on a typical day, he said "All I eat is french toast and mini corn dogs. They are literally the only two things I ever eat." We then proceeded to have a lengthy tickle fight, and then I continued the questioning. I found out that his go-to exercises were pull-ups and swimming laps with Kelby which he did on occasion. After he told me that, I dressed up in cowboy gear and ran around while Pero chased me with a pool cue. Shortly thereafter, I went into his freezer and ate 6 ice cream sandwiches in a row and then I screamed. I left his house that night with the notion that he was a fairly healthy boy, but little did I know that a change was underway.
When the 2010-11 school year began, Pero started running on his now-beloved treadmill erryday. He altered his diet in a healthier direction; more salad and less Toaster Studels, fewer Lemonheads and more fruit cups. If you hang out with the strapping young lad these days, you might see him spontaneously break out into a flurry of push-ups and sit-ups so fast it will make you dump your pants. That's the name of his game now folks! In the photo on the left from 2010, the airborne Peroki is 175 pounds, but the photo on the right from mere weeks ago shows him striking his trademark puppy pose and weighing in at 155! Asked to comment on his current bodaciousness, he said, "I just want to thank Billy Blanks. He was my sole inspiration to get fit. DOUBLE TIME!"
So there you have it: Pero is sizzling, single, and ready for summer so he can go to the beach.Then he will finally have an answer to the timeless question posed long ago by Alex Vandergrift, "Where are all the girls?" They'll be with Pero.
