SUCCESS.
|
| Padres
update: 69-58, five games back of the Dodgers, and two games back of the
Cubs (for the wildcard spot). The Padres just swept four games from the
Mets in New York, however, the Dodgers and Cubs don't feel much like
losing these days. Well, at least the Padres won't be eliminated by my
predicted date of September 7th. They may not make the playoffs, but I
deem the season a success.

JERRY! JERRY!

FUTBOL STAR.
|
TRIPLE-A.

|
Here's
a Do-It-Yourself
Jerry Springer Show. I guess I'm easily amused. Java required!
|
Our golfing
foursome played behind former UVA and US national team star John Harkes
the other day. Hey, I thought it was kinda cool.
|
Since
I'm only playing on two softball teams in the fall (as compared to 47 in
the spring), I've agreed to play with our arch-rivals The Squids. I look
at it as a minor league rehab stint (just kidding, Darrell).

NASA FAKES.
|
BAD DOGGIE.
|

Proof that the
moon landing in 1969 was fake: Everyone knows that the first astronauts
wore white suits, not silvery ones. Sheesh.

Luke
the dog has peed in my den three times in the past two or three months.
Being the sly dog that he is, he
does it in the middle of the night when we're sleeping. Since he's well
past his ill-trained days of puppydom, he shouldn't be doing things like
that (actually, he is past his days of puppydom, but not much past his
days of ill-training). I don't know why
the hell he does it, but it's tough sitting at this computer all day
with the smell of dog urine lingering in the background. And I think
it's probably a good idea if I stop walking around barefoot for a couple of
days or so.

TAINTED.

Spanish
Mozzarella, Futbol Star, Tainted, Bad Doggie, Success, NASA Fakes, Jerry! Jerry!,
Triple-A, and Transformation Part II. |

Note to Paul Hamm: Sure, you had a brilliant routine (or so I'm told) on
the uneven bars and sure, you deserved a medal. But when a scoring error
was discovered, you really should have given the gold medal to that
Korean dude--right then and there. It may have disappointed you personally, but think what it
would have done for the U.S. If you haven't noticed, we're not the most
popular kids on the block. Of course, you can still give the medal to
the other guy, but at this point, the phrase "was urged to"
will be attached to such a display of sportsmanship. Oh well. Enjoy your
semi-gold.

SPANISH MOZZARELLA.
|
TRANSFORMATION PART II.
|
I'm
not sure where I got it, but I've been using the phrase "Damn that
monkey!" quite a bit lately. I have absolutely no idea what it
means, but it's kinda fun to say.
And in related news, Hammy spoke the following line about Mia Hamm the other day:
"Now she's banging that Spanish mozzarella--Nomar Garciaparra."

Riddle Me This Again: After beating the top two teams in the first round
of the coed playoffs (see August
13), we won the championship game by
beating the second-place team once again. This time, we overcame a 17-5
deficit (usually, when we're losing by that much we just roll up like pill bugs)
and won the game in the last inning by a score of 20-19. We rock. Hail
to us.
