Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year From The Angry Pothound

The WTF Files: Does anyone know his booking agent?

This guy will definitely be performing at The Angry Pothound's Christmas party next year. Ahhh, good old-fashioned live entertainment. 'Tis the season!

P.S.: Kids - stay away from drugs. Seriously though.

The WTF Files: Random Carib beer sighting in GREECE!

The Dog dug up this interesting pic on the Cobra Snake website. This girl is drinking a Carib ... at a party in GREECE. Cool. (click the pic for a closer look)

THE ANGRY POTHOUND ASKS .... NIALL ROYAL .... 20 QUESTIONS

T.A.P.: So let's start simple: what's goin on? How you feelin today? Anyone piss you off for the day yet?

N.R.:"Well, the weather man got me peeved, cuz I thought I didn't have to make that drive to Gauico-Tamana to water my 40 acres of sapodilla trees, he said it would rain, Ahkunamatada, I got a chance to play with "Puller" ... who is 'Puller', you ask? 'Only my favourite Mule'. I also played with my two other pets, A Giga-Pet, and the other is my Angry Pothound."

T.A.P.: Interesting .... Anyways, onto Question 2. The Dog knows Niall McNish. Who's this Niall Royal dude though?

N.R.: "Good question, when you see Niall McNish you need to ask him that. But seriously tho? Out of three, Niall Royal is one of the voices in my head ... so kneel before me."

T.A.P.: The Dog kneels before no one, not even you Royal. Just answer my questions. I hear you're involved with Scorch magazine. What's that about?

N.R.: "I don't write really, I have small text inputs here and there, but officially I'm the web/content manager."

T.A.P.: Big things. What else are you working on?

N.R.: "Wow, what am I NOT working on? But as of right now, the list is: Synergy, yuh boy gettin a show (the worst mistake they could have made) ... Clothing: The Royal Laundry/The Royal Cloth ... You know I love my parties, so event consultancy (I Love Entertainment) and production company (I Love Production), just to name a few ... right now I'm everywhere like high prices, keep your fingers crossed."

T.A.P.: Silly Royal, you know I don't actually have fingers. But I'll cross my paws for you. What/who are you listening to these days, btw?

N.R.: "The Cool Kids, Santogold, M.I.A., Kanye, Adele, John Legend, Feist, that's the top seven on repeat these days."

T.A.P.: The Dog approves highly of your musical taste. I'll toss you a treat, right after this interview, I have this great new flavour of Scooby Snacks that rel cuttin. But back to the interview. The Dog knows Niall Royal loves his gear. What's your cut these days, what's in that closet?

N.R.: "Dom Rebel on my back, Evisu on my ass, and Creative Recs or Greedy Genius are the kicks."

T.A.P.: Big ups to Montreal brand Dom Rebel, doin it. Since we're on the clothing stream of things... wayfarers or aviators?

N.R.: "Avis all the way baby, tryin to get my Tom Cruise in Top Gun on!"

T.A.P.: Chucks or Dunks?

N.R.: "Chucks, but limited edition Dunks could be privileged enough to be seen on my feet/paws."

T.A.P.: Fashion or style?

N.R.: "Fashion fades, Style is eternal."

T.A.P.: The Dog agrees, good call there with the classic tastes. Btw, The Dog remembers the days when you used to rock the dreads. What led you to pull a Lauryn Hill/Lenny Kravitz on us?

N.R.: "Niall McNish wanted to cut it, I wanted to keep it, but he say that it was more business-like, he is soooo lame sometimes."

T.A.P.: It's ok, you're keepin it crisp. Would this crisp self ever run for Parliament?

N.R.: "I would understand that they may want me to run, cuz all of them are overweight (apparently they eatin well, *cough cough*) ... but I don't like those tight running suits, plus I don't have any running cleats, but I won't mind doing a relay or a steeple chase or something for them."

T.A.P.: Uhhh ok. Anyways, let's continue. Do you have your love locked down?

N.R.: "Love is a chemical reaction in the brain, caused by large amounts of endorphins flooding the blood stream. But it really is locked down, it's in a safety deposit box, right next to my pre-nup."

T.A.P.: Kanye fan indeed. Kanye's got charisma though, lots of it. You're a pretty charismatic personality yourself. Any haters around that you may wanna say something to?

N.R.: "I don't like to use the word 'hater', I prefer 'negative well-wishers', and I would like to say: 'Thanks, y'all make me feel better about myself, McNish thanks you as well.' "

T.A.P.: Ai yi yi, The Dog knows a thing or six about 'negative well-wishers', lemme tell ya. But not everyone around is trying to claw people down off the ladder, some are just trynna get up it. That being said, who would you say are three talented up-and-comers to watch out for in Trinidad these days?

N.R.: "Right now, top three is: Gunta from The Hardest Hard (hilarious), there is nothing funny about serious comedy lol ... and J Scooner (producing genius) ... and The Pothound (apparently, is very angry).

T.A.P.: VERY angry, let's not even start on that. Favourite city on Earth?

N.R.: "New City Mall, or Laptop City."

T.A.P.: Can you even answer ANY of The Dog's questions seriously? Patrick Manning: dictator, or Father of the Nation?

N.R.: " I can't answer without a lawyer present, that censoring ppl. 'No comment'."

T.A.P.: Fine ... craziest thing you've ever eaten?

N.R.: "Another question that I may need my lawyer present for. 'No comment'."

T.A.P.: Sigh ... *shakes head*. The Dog knew that this was not going to be easy. Speaking of all this 'lawyer' talk, if you've been keeping up with your international news, you've probably seen that O.J. is basically headed to jail. Did O.J. do it?

N.R.: "Is a glass of orange juice (OJ) part of a balanced breakfast?"

T.A.P.: Touche, motherf***er. You win. You must always win fights, you're a tall guy. What size are those paws?

N.R.: "6 ft 7", size 13, and 180 lbs of COME AND GET IT."

T.A.P.: We're sure. Describe yourself in three words. And make it snappy, we trynna wrap this up.

N.R.: "I, AM, ME!"

We just got our paws on the New Soca Parang from Lil Bitts

The song is called "CHICA" and its on "THE SWEETEST CHRISTMAS RIDDUM". We think that this song is gonna be a hit, especially with you independent ladies who have had it with broke dudes trying to get with you. Like The Angry Pothound's 6th commandment says: "Popular Piper is so 2004."

20 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS

The Dog is starting to feel the Trini Christmas spirit, so he went into the archives and dug up this song....Enjoy!

I AM A JOOOOOOOOOOOOKER WARRIOR

Soooo The Dog was left with his tail between his legs because he predicted a win in tonight’s (December 3^rd) Digicel Cup game against Grenada. To The Dog's surprise the warriors got “JUCKS” the f*ck down by 2 goals to 1. Reports from the game said that the under-strength warriors played very poorly and at times lacked concentration. The Dog thinks that these new players thought that they could cruise through the tournament on the strength of the reputation of the “REAL” Soca Warriors. Well guys, football games aren’t won like that. The Dog says if you all want a cruise you all should save your match fees and use it to go on the f**king Treasure Queen when you guys are eliminated from the tournament. These players need to shape up quickly and realise that they are making us look reeeeaaaally bad. Congrats to Grenada on the win ... and well, to the Joker Warriors that are representing us: Shape to f*ck up or prepare to not make the team that will represent the country when World Cup qualifiers resume next year.

The Dog says: "Nothing in life is easy, so suck it up and get it done."

Yorke's BabyMama Drama

Soca Warrior, star football player and former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has recently been called out by his ex-WAG* and babymama Cokie (sorry, The Dog meant to type "Katie" .... damn paws) "Jordan" Price, for his failure to be a part of his son Harvey's life.

In case people were not aware, back in the day Dwight and his former flame were quite the couple-about-town in the UK ... and when we say "couple-about-town", we mean hard-livin, hard-partying, paparazzi'd-out. The Dog also heard that Cokie had quite the little habit (*sniff sniff snort ... rubs gums & teeth*) whilst pregnant with Harvey ... who unfortunately was born with a growth disorder and autism, and is partially blind. Extremely tragic, but uncanny, no?

We here at The Angry Pothound do not advocate the "nail and bail" behaviour where it results in the birth of a child. The Angry Pothound loves children. So shame on Dwighty, right?

Except for that little birdie that tells us that Cokie is STILL toting feelings and so now does not speak to Dwighty, nor does she allow him to see little Harvey.

So...

Dwighty: desperate and doting father, or "doh care" dad?

Jordan: devoted, hardworking single mother, or ex-cokehead famewhore?

The Dog says "You be the judge."

*WAG = London slang for Wife And Girlfriend

I AM A SOOOOOOCA WARRIOR!

The Soca Warriors will be playing against the Nutmeg boys (Grenada) in the Digicel Caribbean Championship Cup today (December 3rd) in Kingston Jamaica. Kick off is at 5pm Jamaican time/6pm Trinbago time. Angry Pothound fans in Jamaica, take a lil break from reading the blog and go support our boys. The dog doesn't think that he needs to wish the Warriors good luck, with all the skill we have the dog is sure we're going to win, but for old time sake... Good Luck Soca Warriors!

Now to some people, this digicel tournament might mean nothing, especially since everybody suffering from World Cup fever. No no my friends, this tournament is tres important for us. With all the talent we have in Trinidad, the TTFA sees it fit to give all the unknown local players some game time to see who will be able to make the "A team" for the final round of world cup qualifiers which starts next year. Makes sense right? Riiiiight

Allyuh watched Trinidad star on Keisha Cole's show last night, make sure and watch or listen to the Soca Warriors game tonight!

Here is the TT squad for the Digicel Cup

T&T Squad:

Goalkeepers.

Forwards.

SPLASH!!!!!

The Angry Pothound appreciates the efforts of our Olympians in Beijing during this year's olympic games. For some unknown reason, a select few continue to ridicule the performance of Mr George Bovell III. Funny thing ... The Dog is sure that all his detractors are CHAOS tights wearing, thousand hand face wiping (when water touch it), non swimmers. Give the guy a break, especially bcuz our only other option was this guy...

Sholo Taxi?

The Dog was searching for some old soca videos to share but scrapped that plan when I stumbled upon this.
Enjoy your Tuesday!

One of allyuh might be on BET ... mmm, exciting.

The Dog will definitely be tuning into BET on Tuesday (December 2nd) night for Keyshia Cole's hit reality series The Way It Is. This episode features Keyshia and her family in Trinidad and Tobago for one of her concerts. The Dog is a bit anxious to see how TnT is portrayed in this episode. Hopefully none of allyuh embarass us more than Frankie (her mom) probably going to embarass Keyshia.

The Angry Pothound is still digging....where is it?

A while back, a trailer on a film produced by us, for us, starring us was released. The Dog does production, so The Dog knows how long it takes a feature film to be shot, cut, and released for distribution.

Yeahhhhh, about that ... the film hasn't exactly been released ... and the Angry Pothound is quite...um...Angry? No one seems to know what happened to it.

Maybe The Dog buried it in the yard and forgot to dig it back up. Hmph. Check out the trailer anyways.

(Shanty trailer) <---- click here

The Dog thinks Chris Brown's backup dancers have NOTHING on this guy

Nice way to start your Monday morning ...

Who needs coffee when a vintage dancehall performance is twice as strong, just as effective at keeping u awake, and less likely to give you the post-caffeine high jitters?

The Angry Pothound's Ten Commandments

1.) Thou shalt no longer spend thy entire year's salary to play mas/Carnival 365 days a year, in every possible Carnival around the globe. The Dog says to cool it a little bit, there's a worldwide economic recession.


2.) Thou shalt stay away from Ed Hardy. Extreme overuse of Ed Hardy, and The Dog shalt take away 50 cool points.


3.) Thou shalt express thyself through music, art, poetry, style, fashion, writing, or anything that thy creative side can muster up. The Dog finds this admirable. It makes him smile more than anything else. Well except for a nice, juicy, freshly fried piece of Dead. Nothing makes him happier. Dirty Dog.


4.) Thou shalt not wear the same pair of black strappy shoes from 2001 with every outfit. Shoes matter more than thou might think. The Dog suggests that thou take some of that Carnival money, and spend it on thy shoe collection.


5.) Thou shalt find something different to do on the weekends besides The Trifecta – Zen and 51 Thursdays, Zen and 51 Fridays, Zen and 51 Saturdays. Perhaps pick up a magazine. Or pick up knitting. Whatever. The Dog also suggests that you take Him for a nice walk on the beach. The Dog likes long walks on the beach.


6.) Thou shalt not command a guest list at The Club without receiving sufficient rubles from said owner. Popular Piper is so 2004. Besides, The Dog says that Mother Russia is free from the clutches of communism. You should be paid for your promo.


7.) Thou shalt embody the spirit of LA RESISTANCE, in thy thoughts, words and deeds, all day, everyday. LA RESISTANCE is how we got here. LA RESISTANCE is what freed our nation. LA RESISTANCE is what made us rich. LA RESISTANCE is why The Angry Pothound exists.


8.) Thou shalt know and respect the rules of No Bitchassness. If you are not familiar with these rules then chances are that you are indeed suffering from a particularly nasty case of Bitchassness. The Dog says to take a couple of "Man The F*** Up" pills, preferably in a high dosage.


9.) Thou shalt keep in mind Tiger from A Brighter Sun's line: "What is to is must is." Thus, we at The Angry Pothound say "Do not block the cock just cuz you are not willing to take it." The Dog knows it's hard to understand at first, so he suggests that you bill back and come again. You'll get it, it's not like this is Further Maths.


10.) Thou shalt live and love according to thine own rules. Thou shalt leave others to do the same. So says The Dog.

The Angry Pothound Says ...
