Bachelor Party Wrap-up

Two points on my friend Pablo's bachelor party:

1) When I was in college, my dad--being ultimately understanding of virtually any behavior of my friends--would occasionally ask if any of my friends smoked--to which I could happily say, "No."
Well--there were app. 13 of us there this weekend. 3 of us didn't even consider touching a cigarette--yet I'd still estimate the average intake (us included) at over 40 cigarettes/person this weekend. Foul.

2) People have always considered me mature for some reason. Yes--I'm 27, don't own a home, and just spent an entire Saturday night watching guys light their farts on fire and taking pride in an unprecedented nine-straight victories at Robopound.
Yeah--I OOZE maturity.

Football Wrap

1. How is my Green Bay to the playoffs pick looking?

2. I take a week off picking UPS' and UW's games and they both come out looking like they not only didn't have a game-plan, but may not have had one at all. (Which in UW's case is probably likely...)

3. McFly's Updated Top Ten:

1. USC
2. LSU
3. (t) Florida
3. (t) California
5. Oklahoma
6. Ohio State
7. West Virginia
8. Wisconsin
9. Boston College
10. Texas

Notes: Cal looks great...don't look now but Florida-Ohio State back in the National Championship isn't entirely impossible...Michigan is back on track and could still win the Big 10...Kentucky has some harsh reality coming...Louisville has the spine of a paramecium...Seeing what his backup did, there is an OUTSIDE CHANCE that Colt Brennan is a system quarterback...

Underplayed...

Today's 80s song to give another listen:

Heart, Alone

Why? a) it is a good song by a very good band and b) it fits the perfect 80s formula:

Keyboard + Slow Beginning + Cymbal Crash + Rising Action + Hard Rocking Chorus that makes drunk guys lean their heads back to sing + random yelling = SUPER HIT

When you have that combination, the lyrics don't really matter.

To that point--Your Love by the Outfield is quickly reaching Tiny Dancer status in the "Song that wasn't appreciated before but is now becoming the cliched cult-classic" category. I give it 2 months before this song officially jumps the shark and becomes the favorite of groups of 5-7 girls who go up on stage at a karaoke bar and just kind of laugh at each other. (Note: it isn't annoying at all when girls do that.)

Dual Confession...

Two reasons this blog is so short and uncreative:

A) I'm having computer issues and the blog I wrote on the plane last night is impossible to access.

B) My body has been running on nothing but alcohol and Ritz crackers this weekend, and I've been averaging about 4.5 hours of sleep for the past week...YOU TRY TO BE FUNNY UNDER THESE CONDITIONS!!!!!!!
