FANTASIZE A WIN.
|
| Holy
balls, am I ever sucking it up in fantasy football. I'm frickin' 0-5 and
not a victory in sight. Good thing fantasy baseball season starts up
again in six months.
|
|
|
CO-KING.
|
THE TV STAYS ON.
|
VOTE FOR CHROME-DOME.
|
|
Speaking of fantasy baseball, I did pretty well in my two leagues. I
finished second in one league and third in the other. If you combine the
two leagues, I did better than all of my pals except Kenny (who also
finished second-third). Go me.
|
It's a big
day today. Bush and Kerry are squaring off in the last debate, the
Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Roper v. Simmons (whether
or not executing juveniles is constitutional), and the Yankees and Red
Sox are battling in Game 2. Good stuff all the way around.
|
And
now for today's much anticipated Headline
Of The Day:
"Former Midnight Oil Singer Wins
Australian Parliament Seat"
Peter Garrett? That baldheaded Beds Are Burning
spastic-dancing goofball?
Hmm. Okay.
|
|
|
DEMONS AND HEART.
|
MVP.

Sadly,
Ken
Caminiti died over the weekend in New York at the too-young age of 41.
Yeah, he was only 41. Along with Tony Gwynn, Caminiti was my all-time
favorite ballplayer. Sure, he battled
drugs and alcohol most of his life and his career was tainted by his
confession of using steroids, but let me tell you this: he was one hell
of a player. Not only did he play the game harder than anyone I've ever
seen, but his ex-teammates on four different teams said he was one of
the best teammates they've ever had. Two of his best friends--Craig
Biggio and Jeff Bagwell of the Astros--used the word "heart"
repeatedly when they talked about him on Monday after they heard the
news of his death. And goddamm was he good. NL MVP in
1996. He really did carry that Padre team into the playoffs. Man, I even named my cat after him. Jesus. Hope you've finally beaten
those demons, Cammy.

DISPARAGING.
|
Creamy,
MVP, Demons And Heart, Fantasize A Win, Vote For Chrome-Dome, The TV Stays On,
Co-King, Disparaging, and Run! Here Comes Some People!. |
|
Hold on just a second. Suddenly, we have a new contender for Headline Of The Day:
"Jacko Wacko Over Eminem Attacko"
Apparently,
Eminem's latest video makes fun of Michael Jackson and Jackson is pretty
peeved. And he's asked that cable music stations pull the video from
their rotations. So far, only BET has pulled the video because--get
this--they feel it's inappropriate to disparage a celebrity.
Hahahahahahahahaha!

|
RUN! HERE COMES SOME PEOPLE!
|
CREAMY.
|
Beth and I had a pleasant weekend away at a B&B in western Maryland.
The place was right on the shores of Deep Creek Lake so we sat on the
dock drinking brews, went canoeing, and did a lot of General Relaxing.
Very nice.
However, we both came to the conclusion that we're not really B&B
type of people. We tended to avoid the other 15 or so other guests who
were staying at the inn. Anti-social behavior at its best.
|
I
was a little sleepy this morning. Instead of pouring coffee into an
empty cup, I poured it into the powdered cream. Oops.
