Big thanks to everyone that has been coming out and voting for your favorite White Sox Twitter accounts in our #108Tourney. Just remember who brings you these types of blogs, the ones that really matter. Vote for ya boy, me! My Sox Summer!
The Final part of my “Most Attainable Starlets” takes us to the the 2000’s. Crazy times. Check out the ladies that made my cut! If you missed the first two, check out the 80’s here and the 90’s here.
1. Meltdown Britney Spears
Remember these times? Oh they were great. Britney was ending her marriage, was losing custody of her kids to her loser seeming husband and she really just went off the rails. Earlier she married that George character from Seinfeld. Remember that? Mother fucking Jason Alexander. Who knew he was hip with the ladies?
Now, you weren’t gonna get “Oops!’ Brit, but you might have been able to get her on her way down. Still Britney Spears! Great story for the grandkids! “One night grandpa was clubbin’ Hollywood and this bald chick walked in with an umbrella…”
2. Meltdown Lindsay Lohan
Right there with Britney, was Lindsay Lohan. Rehab. Drinking and driving. Just a real mess. I was in California during this time, watching a ton of Californication. My roommate told me that she thought that show was no way accurate. I used to tell her “It’s LA! Everyone fucks everyone!”. I was pretty certain that I would have a shot with Lindsay if we crossed paths having a smoke outside some Hollywood club. I am also pretty sure she was really into fat, artistic guys from the midwest. Mean Girls Lindsay wasn’t attainable, that was just for Fez, but when she was in melt down mode, getting arrested, maybe we all had a shot.
3. Reality Show Anna Nicole Smith
Again, PMOTY Anna Nicole? No way. Guess Ads Anna? Hell no. But reality TV show Anna? HELL YEAH! Hell, she got down with a guy on The Howard Stern Show who is pretty damn gross. Pretty sure, right place, right time, you getting up in her. Especially during that time, she was seriously druggin’ and that just helps your case when you looking to land someone typically out of your zone.
And she wasn’t all that bad looking during that time period. Looked good, was always horny and had excellent food choices available 24-7. BeefLoaf and I wax poetic about Anna Nicole all the time. A serious game changer for the guys who like some curves. She is a goddamn legend. #RIPIP
4. Bijou Phillips
She’s the one on the right. The one of the left is Rachel Minor, ex-wife of Macaulay Culkin, who I am sure was pretty attainable herself. But we’re talking about Bijou. Ever see Larry Clark’s Bully? Oh man, you really should if you liked Kids and enjoy a pretty graphic re-telling of a true story through the eyes of Mr. Clark. It’s got everything – Telly who gave everyone AIDS in Kids as a fake gang member, the fat kid from Mean Girls as the lackey cousin who loves Mortal Kombat and an alive Brad Renfro.
Now, Bijou plays a girl who is really into the sex in this movie. She’s a freak, but not half of the freak she is in real life. Her father is pretty out there, as was her mom, so much so when they split they were both found unfit to have custody. She was living alone by age 14, drinking and drugging. Lost her virginity to Evan Dando at 15 and hung with the Hilton sisters. 1st rehab at 17. She married Hyde from That 70’s Show, which is weird as he’s into Dianetics and rape (allegedly). I figure you provide some concrete foundation for this thing called life and she’d be all over you.
5. Amy Smart
Here’s the thing, Julie Harbor is a hell of a pull for Mox. And Beth was way outta Josh’s league. So that plays in all of our favor. She’s like a hotter, 2000’s version of Joey Lauren Adams. Ever see Crank? Fucking movie is ridiculous, but Jason Statham straight up bones her in the middle of Chinatown while everyone watches and cheers. And if that wasn’t the craziest thing ever, he bones her at a horse track in Crank 2, same reaction. You can find both those vids on YouPorn, so yeah.
Amy seems pretty easy going and doesn’t have any hangups on showing off her body in the movies. She also did voices for Robot Chicken. Does that transfer to her wanting to hang with you and eat cold pizza the morning after? Maybe. It’s worth a shot anyways.
So there you have it, 15+ girls from 3 decades that you might have had a chance with. Feel free to @ me with anyone that I missed. Baseball can’t get here soon enough.
Round 1 – Celebs Region @ckamka@ChrisTannehill 50% 8 – Chris Kamka 50% 9 – Chris Tannehill
For those confused by why Tannehill advances, Twitter rounds to the nearest percentage, so even in a case where it is 50.4% to 49.6% it will still show as 50% for both. However, when the poll ends, the winner will appear in blue, like this:
Had it been a true tie, it would show both in blue (see below) and in our tournament both would advance and we’d have a 3-way aka “Wally$ special”. If the final ends in a tie, we have a fight to the death.
Welcome, it’s your old pal BeefLoaf…..after a long night of broadcasting our YouTube special bracket reveal for the #108Tourney and then discussing the match-ups long form in the FromThe108 Podcast….and of course #108ing (did you hear Chorizy’s crazy ass fucking trade idea at the end of the podcast), I have stumbled out of the gates this morning towards getting this blog post out to all of yous. #108ing is a lifestyle.
Anywho, we hate that we can only have 65 participants in the actual tournament, which is why we want to make sure EVERYONE, yes, EVERYONE can get involved in the #108Tourney, so we bring you, the #108Tourney Bracket Challenge.
Here’s your instructions to get involved……
1 – It’s easy, print out the beautiful bracket below, styled by our very own MySoxSummer (Click On Image To Download)
Â
Â
2 – Fill out that bracket soup to nuts (so to speak)
3 – Take a picture of said bracket, TWEET said picture, tag @fromthe108, and use hashtag #108tourney
Just like this, but so we can read it.
4 – ???????
5 – Profit (probably, top 3 will get prizes of some sort, which will half enrich you and half help MySoxSummer clean out his basement. Rumor is a strictly limited Daniel Palka autographed print is top prize).
A couple of notes…..
A) The Final Four matchups are CELEBS BRACKET vs BLOGGER/PODCAST BRACKET and 108 BRACKET vs SUPER FAN BRACKET, that stuff was sort of lost in MSS version of this beautifully designed bracket

Round 1 – 1 pt
