TC the Terrible

Yes, I made a bad pick (only one so far) by going with current loyalties over those from the 1980′s when making my football picks for the week. So sue me, because the rest of my card is coming along nicely.

Todd, congrats on getting certified to sell junk bonds and Franklin Mint plates to old ladies over the telephone.

Freak, I saw you on TV yesterday in some swim event with your sex doll. Did you really have to go to Russia to do that? Does Bono not have any lakes? Please tell me that your co-workers didn’t put you up to doing this. Those other girls at the convent can be so mean at times and you are such a dear sweet delicate creature. Don’t ever let them talk you into doing something that keeps you from being the person that the Great White Spirit wants you to be. You are so very special and none of us would ever want to see you ruined.

Damn! Where did that drivel come from? I must be channeling Stewart Smiley from back in the days when SNL was still relevent, or at least funny. These days the hottness of Tina Fey is the show’s only saving grace.

Later gator.

Guess what?  It’s raining outside, and it’s going to do this all weekend.  I’m hoping that someone in our office will have the sense to send us home early today.  That way I can get a head start on bailing out our basement that is sure to flood again.

• I’m no fan of tennis but Agassi was worth staying up late to watch last night.  He had the long haired Baghdatis put away early and let the kid come back way too many times.
• Payday loans have always been a big scam, just like car title loans.  I am glad to see the Pentagon is helping out.  Why can’t we have a few F-16s take out some of the more prominent sites? Or at least let the CIA order hits on the owners.  I know more than one guy that’s been damn near bankrupted by these places and they really piss me off.
• If a solider runs away from his commitment, wouldn’t the best punishment be to make him serve it out in a combat zone?  Maybe not, but it sure sounds good.
• I’m tired of hearing how the ‘Skins won the Super Bowl the last time they went 0 – 4 in the pre-season.  It might be time to admit that the team isn’t really as strong as all the experts think they are.
• MTV jumped the shark a decade or so ago.  That’s a fact.  They no longer play music videos.  That’s a fact.  The Video Music Awards have jumped the shark too.  That’s a fact.  Now will some one give me back my MTV with music videos that are watchable and music that I like?  Damn I hate being older and smarter than everyone else.

Despite the rain I’m getting THE BOY out this weekend to see the National Museum of American History this weekend.  It’s our last chance to see it for two years as it’s being closed down for re-design and retro-fitting.  The new version will be worth the pain as it will finally feature Old Glory in a fitting fashion.  But that particular museum was one of the reasons we moved here and now I feel like we haven’t seen it enough.
