In honor of opening day let us take a look back at former major league pitcher Dock Ellis. Dock's career spanned the years 1968-1979, he played for 5 teams (including both NY teams), had 138 career victories, won comeback player of the year in 1976 and most impressively threw a no hitter against the Padres on June 12, 1970 while "tripping balls".

Freakin' none other than the Daft Punk of the fashion world himself, Karl Lagerfeld. You know, Mr. Chanel, blah blah, mysterious weirdo with the classic white hair, black shades, and OJ gloves. Anyway, after watching the shoot for about 15 minutes, peeping the official wine-glass-holding assistant, the countless do-nothing "gophers," and Mr. Lagerfeld in all his glory, I couldn't help but to conlude that. . . "Damn, some people get paid f*ckloads of $$$ for doing absolutely nothing!"
Cheers to you, shady cool man with the killer gloves and bad-ass, extended bank account! -Rainey P.S. Not that I'm hinting at the slightest sprinkling of any salt-like residue on ANY playaz game.

Leave it to your boy Cosmo to come up with the new series to keep you straight in these crazy times of politics, parallel universes, hotdogs and whatnot. He told me and C'mish he was gonna write some shit up, but I had no idea how thorough it would be - so next level! so anyway, without further ado -- here is the debut edition of So anyway let me talk about this week's role model: Dolph "Wrecking Shop" Lundgren. First of all, I always thought this dude was a German, but he's not, he's Swedish. That's cool with me. Secondly he's a big motherfucker - I mean we all could see that when he played Ivan Drago and went up against Rocky. But on the real, let me get deep on this Dolph Lundgren tip for a second. I always thought that dude was just another big motherfucker that was supposed to be an Arnold clone. I'm gonna put it this way - Arnold may be the Governor of California but I don't think he's that bright. But when I went to do the knowledge on Dolph here I found all sorts of ill things about the boy. First of all, dude is a graduate of the prestigious Royal Institute Of Technology. After dude graduated he went and got a masters degree in chemical engineering from the University Of Sydney, after which he was awarded a motherfucking Fullbright Scholarship to M.I.T. Doing it fucking BIG. But the thing is, Dolph decided that he had enough schooling and wanted to become an actor - and that decision was the right one because check it, he became one of the biggest and best of his generation. "Universal Soldier," "The Punisher," "Rocky 4" - the list goes on and on. I mean fucking for real, this dude IS HE-MAN. Off screen dude is as ill as he was on screen too. He was in the Swedish equivalent of the Navy SEALS, so he'll fucking do some real damage. He's a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, and he not only was the captain of the Swedish Karate team but he won the European and Australian tournaments, as well as placing high in the world tournament. Dolph also was the Swedish team leader for the Olympic Games in his event, the Modern Pentathalon (which is a sport that he actively still promotes. That shit seems tough.) He gets in shape and does his physical fitness. Also THIS motherfucker speaks English, Swedish, French, German, Spanish, some Japanese and Italian. Illmatic. PS: Dolph got a strange power over the ladies. It's interesting, don't know what that's about but I won't deny it. So yeah, Dolph is no joke. Also peep game - dude went out with Grace Jones for a while which is a trip. I mean, you know, who knows, that's a look right there and all. So yeah, DOLPH LUNDGEN is this week's ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK, which means that he's a dude who's LEVEL YOU WANT TO GET UP ON. So tune in next week when I bring you the next installment of COSMO BAKER'S ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK. Until then, stay focused and keep your levels correct. 100,000!

all right peoples, just to clarify the world of encased meets for you. what i was showing you before was a pork sausage (similar to a brat or a polish). it is typically shorter than a hot dog (but props to the commish for the graphic). also i do enjoy an occasional NY dog while out visiting your fine city and don't want to open up a NY vs. CHI hot dog war, but for me it comes down to the toppings and a traditional chicago style hot dog does it every time for me. and after reading the hooves and lips comment, it got me so hungry that i ran out to Hot Doug's to snag a traditional dog (which ive now nicknamed the trife dog (no relation to phife dawg)) so i could get a photo of it for yall.
now a little history... A Chicago-style hot dog is a steamed or boiled all-beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun, which originated in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois. The hot dog is topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish (usually neon green), a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt; but never ketchup. It is taboo to put ketchup on a Chicago hot dog; some hot dog stands don't even stock the condiment. Many sources attribute the distinctive collection of toppings on a Chicago-style dog to the "Depression Sandwich" originated by Fluky's on historic Maxwell Street in 1929. Vienna Beef frankfurters, the most common brand served today, were first sold at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Chicago-style hot dogs are boiled or steamed before adding the toppings. Less commonly, they're grilled and referred to as "chardogs." The typical dog weighs 1/8 pound and the most traditional type features a natural casing, providing a distinctive "snap" when bitten.

It kind of rules and it's edged Fleetwood Mac out of my ipod rotation... part 1 here part 2 here *Tiesto

SXSWORST... Yo word up, if I never see another wristband, eat another piece of BBQ, go to another showcase, walk another mile in the sun, see another rock groupie, get sucker punched by another reality show star, fly South West or drink another Shiner I’M GOOD!!! But since my new life-style is “Strictly Positive Irie Vibes!” I’m only gonna focus on the positive sides of Austin. BLU JEMZ’S TOP 3 SWSW PERFORMANCES (1) GASLAMP KILLER / OBEY at BARCELONA BAR
There wasn’t a wack moment at this event. Everybody deystroyed it! Pube$, Wes Gully, Nosajthing (crazy!), Free The Robots and Shepard Feary. But when it was time for Gaslamp and Flying Lotus at the end of the night history was made. Yo Willie you gotta post that video!!! Give the world a taste of what Gina Turner calls “the Genius of our time.” Romes, you did it, the beats are bizack!!! (2) CUT COPY at IHEARTCOMIX / MAD DECENT PARTY Yo WTF??? Why isn’t Cut Copy blowing up? People really prefer watching Justice barely use a CDJ than a real band like Cut Copy? Hands down my favorite group right now, live set, on a roof at dusk? “Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight!” You can get the new Joakim remix for that single on their blog. (3) SPINDRIFT at RED EYE FLY
Pube$ put me on to these guys from LA. Amazing shit!!! Couldn’t fit the whole band on the stage…
For real I wouldn’t have made it thru that shit without these people…
Glenjamn, Mel and Nana sorry I didn’t have any pics… For the record BLU JEMZ & NoMSG by the pool at the NYLON party last night of SXSW... KILLED IT!!! Strictly Positive Irie Vibes!

Part One I almost have an album done. Here's an older snip I made back in Jan. Here. Here's an older track I did in 2003 that's been sitting on my desktop. Here. Part Two How do you feel after having masturbated? How does it change the way you think and feel? My libido temporarily ceases to exist and I don't care about the hot porn I was fapping to a second ago. Well, that's what happens half the time anyway. Sometimes I'm so horny that I recharge in half a second and I'm fapping again.
