Good morning, fair readers. Hope your week is going well. The lineup for today includes a Day in the Life of Andre Rison, courtesy of Socks, and CPH will have a post sure to bring back popular support for an Equal Rights Amendment.

In other news, has anyone heard from Shakey? After submitting a series of seemingly drug-induced posts from his trip to Taiwan, we really haven’t heard from him. While we’re positive he didn’t get recruited into the Taiwanese National little league team or sell his soul to Taylor Swift, we are a little worried that he scored some bad hash and is now selling his boygina to tourists in Taipei. [Shakey note: SO MANY LIES!@!!!!!!!!!] Aaaaaaaaaaaanyways, some Real_Ron news, cheesecake, music, and more after the jump.

Morning Real_Ron

Real_Ron_Artest has been on a tear lately. Riding the momentum of signing with the Lakers, Real_Ron has been “going in on” several ballers and celebrities, including Shaq, Jessica Simpson, Chris Bosh, Hammer, and more. Seriously, if you’re not following, look back over the tweets from the last few days.

As usual, however, the most entertaining thing about Real_Ron is the response he elicits from others:

• Jim Rome devoted an entire segment of his radio show Tuesday to discussing Real_Ron’s tweets about AI signing with the Clippers (“AI to the Clippers? They know they ain’t gonna be allowed to play with 2 basketballs at once?” and “Much love for AI, he’s a tough mofo, but these days he’s missing more shots than Muhammad Ali with a sniper rifle.”) and declaring that Ron Artest is his new favorite local-L.A. athlete, surpassing Manny Ramirez.
• Some youtube douche/twitter reporter included Real_Ron in his TweetBox Report thinking it’s really Ron Artest.
• One word: THE FAT BOYS MOTHERFUCKER. TheFatBoys re-tweeted a Real_Ron post, which has led to us throwing them followers and some actual back-and-forth private messages with the Fat Boys. Jealous? You absolutely should be.
