If They Only Knew

I had a really funny thought as I was pulling into my parking stall at work today. What if for some reason, one of my bosses decided to go into my coat pocket and pull out my iPod? And they looked at the screen and it said "Thug Love"--Bone Thugs feat. 2Pac--Art of War. (Sound of shotgun cocking). What kind of reaction would that garner? I have a feeling they would either look at my neon whiteness and laugh. Or possibly realize that I don't "fit in" and make up some bullshit economic excuse to can me. Or, more likely, cower in fear around me and shield their daughters.

As an aside to an aside, I watched "Archer" on FX last night. I saw two episodes. It was sort of funny. Not laugh out loud mostly, but I would give it another chance. For those who aren't aware it is another adult cartoon, containing partial cartoon nudity and crude language. The story line revolves around the characters being spies at a MI-6-type agency. As an example of a story line, two of the male spies were fighting in the locker room and their penises touched (not in "camera" view.) and there were all sorts of gay jokes. Since Sports Bottles whole life is one big gay joke, he would like it. My wife will be pretty happy if it ends up making the DVR list along with South Park and Family Guy. I give it a 3 out of 5, but I would probably watch it if I was bored and stumbled across it again.

UW v. St. Mary's Burn Center recap

I think there are probably too many teams in D-I college basketball. Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville is a D-I "provisional". Meaning that not only do they have to get their asses pounded for the next five years in guarantee games by teams like Wisconsin, but they don't even get to play in a conference and have a shot at the tourney. A few things about SIU-E (which I found funny for some reason). First of all, the school name itself is terrible and difficult to say. You are not only a directional school, but a subset of a directional school. I am now declaring that the real SIU has to change thier name to SIU-Carbondale, so I don't get confused. Second, they are the real life "St. Mary's Burn Center" that my volatile and possibly insane JV Basketball coach referred to when he was discussing shitty opponents. Third, their jersey's were a fucking travesty. They looked semi-normal from a distance (normal red and black colors, etc.) But on a closer look, you can see the gigantic ass, WHITE, Lower Case letter "e" after SIU on the front of the jersey, with no dash. It looked retarded.

At one point I was convinced the Badgers were going to have a mythical "white out". There were 4 white guys on the floor at once on more than one occasion.

Jon Luer, who looks not fast, not coordinated, not short and not particularly skillful.....DESTROYED SIU-E tonight. He was on the receiving end of a nice ally-oop in traffic. Any time a goonie white guy can get an ally-oop in traffic against you, you aren't very good.
