Beyoncé Beats Kanye At Connect Four (9 Times Out Of 10)

Here's your picture of the day:

Beyoncé pwns Kanye at Connect Four

Some background:

When I was in Europe I would play this game for hours and hours... it helped me zone out. Everybody would get envolved... Derrick Dudley (Common's manager) and Consequence were the best other than me... I beat Lexi... Don C beat Jay... Tony Williams beat Common... but every now and then people would speak of this legendary connect 4 champion........... BEYONCE!!! I had 2 play her!...so last night at Jay's new 40/40 club in Las Vegas (which is sidebar, crazy big w/ 24krt gold flooring, Black Jack tables, $500 slot machines,the biggest projection screen in the universe and the best turkey burgers I've ever had in my life) she beat me 9 times in a row! (and I didn't even spaz lol) here's a photo of the only game I won!
More photos of the thrashing at Kanye's blog. Officially the most interesting Connect Four matchup since Bug beat Michael. (The Wire's Season Five premiere is available OnDemand now, btw -- and it's good. Best show ever. Y/y? UPDATE: Baltimore Sun pans Season Five. Totally coincidentally we're sure: The paper itself is also the subject of Season Five. via Fimoculous)

There's nothing on television better than The Wire.

Haha, looks like she let him win. (The winning peice had to have been the one that was second from the left, so it wasn't like she was in a lose/lose situation, and there are several wasted black peices.)

Kanye West doesn't care about black (Connect 4) pieces.

I'm curious as to why Beyoncé is dressed like an old lady, with the shawl, long beaded necklaces, puffy shirt, et al...

Something's fishy here gang.

Glad to see that Kanye's back to blogging. Hopefully the new year will bring him some blessings and good fortune. (At least I hope it will bring some joy to all you snide cynical hipsters)

100% agreed on the Wire and on your point about the Sun -- wasn't one of the creators a former employee? I LOVE that they are adding that dimension.

Oh and this is pretty cool about the connect four match too.

Season Four, definitely. Didn't think it was possible, but the show keeps topping itself.
