Grab Bag Fridays: Not Too Shabby
(1 Cent): The War Wanes
So, it looks like Sheila (our Aussie friend) is winning the battle of words against Lmach ... if only because she responded back. We had two comments this week and here they are:
Q: "Hey Wanka ... I mean Lmach ... thank you for confirming my last statement "too cocky for their own good." Just wondering if you would throw your [street] address my way, I wanted to send you some backless briefs, and who knows maybe I will spray a little testosterone spray in them to help you out???" -- Sheila
HCP: Ha. Wanka. That's funny. At least it's getting personal now ... and unless Lmach responds in defense of his manhood, count that as a point for Australia. (Note: I'm about 101.37% sure that we don't want to see Lmach or any male in any type of backless briefs ... I will now go beat my head against the wall).
Q: "Ughhg, that *was* a tough Fantasy loss ... I ain't gonna lie, you captured the torment horrifyingly well. If this keeps up, pretty soon I'll be able to put together a top 10 most gut-wrenching Fantasy losses! Life is so very cruel. Now back to torturing my Harang voodoo-doll ...." -- J.H.
HCP: Yes, it was a very, VERY tough fantasy team loss ... and it seems so much more painful than the other ones, if only because it is the most recent one. I've said it once and I'll say it again: it's as though we're the Atlanta Braves of fantasy sports (during the 90's and up to last year) -- we always make the playoffs but can't make it to the prize, for one reason or the other.
Salt in the wound ... this week (which would have been our championship week) our fantasy guys are doing awesome, including David Ortiz who now is the Red Sox franchise homerun leader. I suppose the Fantasy Gods thought it not enough to take away our championship, but then to let us know our team would have won had we been playing. Can you believe we actually pay money for this kind of torment?
(2 Cent): The First Step
**Warning: Self-Aggrandizement Will Follow**
Congrats to me on being accepted into the Post-Baccalaureate program. This means that I will be taking this class (The Rhetoric of Freedom), study for and take the GRE (with the studying taking a couple of months), prepare a thesis paper, prepare a letter of intent, beg and plead with 3 professors to write me letters of recommendation ... all in hopes of getting into the Masters program in January of 2007. With all of this, I am choosing to keep this a tri-entry blog (3 times a week), since I will still be working as well and want some sort of life.
Of course, with all of this information out there, I might be putting more pressure on myself. Thoughts come to mind such as, "What if I don't get accepted?" "Am I putting myself too much out there on the vast planes of the Internet?" Whatever. If I succeed, then it was meant to be. If I don't ... hey, there's always Vegas.
(1/2 Cent): Playoffs Begin
So, our Wannabees softball team didn't have a game yesterday because our playoff tournament starts this Tuesday. From what I hear, it's a double elimination tournament, which is gladly welcomed. Maybe I can make up for what happened to my fantasy baseball team by bringing home the crown in "real" life.
I hope our games don't get rained out ... it's been raining here almost non-stop for about a week and a half.
Have a good weekend, everyone. I hope school, work, and life in general is well for all!

Dear Sheila,
Apparently you did not see Crocodile Dundee. How can you say that a country which will take a lousy actor, Paul Hogan, and then make not one but two crappy movies about his mischievous, supernatural, aussie abilities a country "too cocky for their own good". Not to put a damper in things but if I remember correctly the poster child for Australia "The Croc Hunter" didn't fair to well when he displayed his not-so-humble attitude towards nature. But that is typical of those from the land down under.
They love their Man from Snowy River, Crocodile Dundee and pretty much everything about the rugged lifestyle which was displayed in America's Wild West over one-hundred years ago, and they aren't going to change it for no one and for no thing. Heck they even built the worlds longest most-retarded fence (no really look it up in the Guinness book of world records, it's there and I quote "the worlds longest most-retarded fence is proudly displayed in, drum roll please, AUSTRALIA,") the "Rabbit-Proof" fence. Congrat-u-fricking-lation you guys got a fence that keeps rabbits on one side of the fence on that side and keeps the rabbits on the other side on the other side. Come on if you want segregation try it with a homo-sapien, rabbits can't even fight back, at least the Russians put up the Berlin Wall and effectively kept people separated. I've seen you crazed aussies chasing rabbits with clubs killing them in what you call "protecting my crops" have you seen the outback it looks like one big desert... sorry doesn't look like one, it IS one.
Two last words "ANZAC biscuit"?????????
Okay more than just two words but just for explanation the ANZAC biscuit is the National Biscuit of Australia. Congratulations you have a "Rabbit proof fence (damn smart rabbits down there) and a National Biscuit" If i had these two things I wouldn't be all that cocky either, Hooroo
