Lil’ Jon and Big Stanley

We’ve been talking about getting blogs for several months at the Desert Dispatch. As getting them became more of a reality, we started having discussions on what to post. After first we weren’t entirely sure. However, after a while certain things began popping up that were clearly blog worthy.
This photo is just such a case. I received an e-mail for invitation to NHL post-season kickoff in Beverly Hills just as the playoffs were beginning in April. As soon as I saw Lil’ Jon in the photo, I figured it had to be joke.
I know the NHL has serious marketing problems, but this looked like it came from an alternate universe. I just can’t take a guy seriously who has braces and a sippy cup both encrusted with diamonds. The juxtaposition of him and hockey’s holy grail just seemed bizarre.
I soon learned he really is a hockey and an Atlanta Thrashers fan. Who knew?
You couldn’t make this stuff up …
