Lenny Dykstra bankruptcy update

PrintFor those who are wondering what is up with the Lenny Dykstra bankruptcy saga, we have an update.
In summary, he no longer has all the cheddar.
Also, there's this quote, where Dykstra takes responsibility for his actions:
"[J.P. Morgan Chase are] the ones responsible for me losing $38 million," he said. "They’re the ones responsible for a 25-year marriage being dismantled piece by piece. They’re the ones responsible for a family being taken apart."
Oh, wait, he's not taking responsibility. He's blaming the bank that loaned him the money that he now can't pay back for all his problems.
However, he appears to have a plan to get back on his feet...he's in talks about doing a reality TV show.

I dunno
Whether a reality TV show would be any fun or not. Once you’ve seen a train wreck, they are pretty much alike.

Oh it wont
In 5 years someone will catch up to him and ask him how he is doing. He will lie, they will checkt it out and he’ll get exposed again.

Somebody needs to beat the piss out of Lenny Dykstra...
If he gets a show and YOU watch it, you should have the piss beaten out of you also.
Same with Jersey Shore.
I think Lenny Dykstra should start dating Snooki

Now I have a better idea.
Tie Snookie up into a sleeping bag, and use her to beat the piss out of Lenny Dykstra and the Sklar brothers.

Well there is always octomom ....
Don’t know if it would help his finances, though.

i suggest using carrots next time
they’re more efficient and are meant for the eyes
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Only Clive Owen can use a carrot as a weapon
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
That must have been your blood I slipped in

First thing he needs to do
is snip that stray eyebrow hair.

Lifestyle choices
If he could just get used to a more modest lifestyle it seems like he’d be ok. Child support would take a chunk of it, but $5,700 a month ain’t nothing.

He's pretty much the original

Yeah, he was the original for sure.

“Hello, I am Michael Scott, Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin, Scranton. By now you’re probably sick of hearing about Dunder Mifflin and our embarrassing watermark boner.
I have literally apologized an infinite number of times over this, and still there are calls for me to resign, calls from an annoying woman and possibly even the media alike. Well, let me tell you something. Something from the heart. I will not resign. I am not
leaving this office. It will take a SWAT team to remove me from this office, and maybe not even then. There is no way I will resign. It wouldn’t be fair, not to the good workers I work with, not to my clients. And especially not to me. Let’s not forget who this resigning business is really all about.
I need this job. My mortgage is hundreds of dollars a month. With this job I can barely cover that. I have a company car, but I still have to pay for the gas. Gas prices are high and I have no savings whatsoever. And it wasn’t even me. It is so not fair that they want me to resign.
If I could leave you with one thought: remember, it wasn’t me. They are trying to make me an escapegoat. If I am fired, I swear to God that every single piece of copier paper in this town is going to have the F word on it. The F word. You have one day.”

I don't know what my favorite Michael Scott line is...
but I always enjoy this from “Women’s appreciation”
Dwight Schrute: Due to a recent incident involving Phyllis, a man, a map and his penis, I think you know what I’m referring to, Michael has authorized me to form an emergency anti-flashing task force.
Jim Halpert: Question. Won’t that interfere with your other task forces?
Dwight Schrute: Answer: No. Because this is being given priority one. This is a petition for the business park to upgrade the security cameras, as well as install two floodlights in the parking lot. And I know what you’re thinking. Won’t that just shed more light on the penises. But that is a risk we have to take.
Dwight Schrute: Pam. You can draw, kind of. Why don’t you work with phallus on drawing a picture of the exposer that I can post around the community.
Pam Beesly: ‘Phallus’?
Dwight Schrute: Phyllis. Sorry. I’ve got penises on the brain.
Phenomenal lines from Dwight
There are too many quotes to call one a favorite. Such a great quotable show.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.
Business is like a jungle. And I am like a tiger. And Dwight is like a monkey… that stabs a tiger in the back with a stick. Does the tiger fire the monkey? Does the tiger transfer the monkey to another branch? Pun. There is no way of knowing what goes on inside the tiger’s head. We don’t have the technology.
There are four kinds of business. Tourism. Food service. Railroads. And sales. And hospitals/manufacturing. And air travel.

Well, I have a question for you
Is it, considering all the factors that go into forming a good question, and assuming that the one who is being asked is willing to give a thoughtful answer, more important (and I know, we can debate about what passes as importance, but if you just look at what Brett Favre meant to the ‘97 Packers then you’ll know what level of importance I’m talking about) to have solid content in your question or to cover, and by cover I mean not necessarily in the sense that someone’s coming after you just that you want to to tie up all your loose ends, your own self by essentially stating your position and answering your own question in said question?
