Save the HULK

By: Melissa | February 22nd, 2008

The latest Joe Cannon blog is up on the official Quakes site. He doesn’t really spend a lot of time commenting on last week’s games against Houston. Instead it’s full speed ahead with pre-season (although he does give a little shout out to Saturday’s Pub Crawl, hrrrmmm, I was there and didn’t see him – did he walk right past me and I didn’t know? oh well, sh*t happens). Instead, checking in from Pismo Beach, he relates a very emotional story and asks readers to help him save a little Silicon Valley store in danger of folding. Turns out, his favorite smoothie shop, Smoothie King (the one in Santana Row), is closing down because of a minor misunderstanding between the store and the company that owns the property. So our Joe, all sorts of fired up with little guy (the Quakes, David, Rocky) versus big guy (AEG, Goliath, that other scary boxing dude) analogies, asks readers to help save Smoothie King. So to everyone: whether you live in San Jose or not, please go to the Federal Realty Investment Trust website to lodge an official complaint (or call them at 408 551 4600). Do it for our Joe because we want him to be able to get his favorite smoothie whenever he wants without having to drive to the OTHER Smoothie King in Sunnyvale.

Oh and what’s his favorite smoothie? It’s called the HULK. Here’s his description:

Weight Gain, Butter Pecan Ice Cream, Bananas, Egg Protein, Soy Protein, Non-Fat Milk, Carbohydrate Mix, Vanilla, Wheat Germ, Turbinado, and Honey make up this little 8th wonder of the world.

DAMN! I’m speechless.

So it looks like LIFE got into the way of me taking a little trip to San Luis Obispo this weekend and I’m going to miss the games against Columbus and DC United (but I did ask the Ultras if they want to guest blog about the games but so far… no interest *sigh*). As usual, I’ll scour the internet this weekend and post any blogs or blurbs about these games from people in attendance as well as cross my fingers and hope my favorite trialists kick ass and gain a roster spot.

And I’m out. Here’s the latest installment of Song of the Week (and one of my favorite music videos).
