Hi y'all. I'm taking it easy today in celebration of all the rest of the taking it easy I did in 2008. I worked about an hour this morning and said, "Nuff!"
New Year's Eve Plans -
We are planning a huge celebration here at the house which we usually do on New Year's Eve. We are gonna eat dinner (still working on leftovers from Christmas), and cook s'mores. Yea really, s'mores. Our sweet little future daughter-in-law bought me and The Mrs. a s'more cooking outfit that you use in the house. It's real cool. I'm not sure how I'm gonna chop up the sticks little enough to go down in that little silver pot to build a fire, but I'll work on it. Then, I'm gonna watch football, and fall asleep during the third quarter.
I'll be sure and kiss The Mrs. Happy New Year before I do, though.
Football -
Speaking of football, I was so busy taking it easy yesterday that I forgot to give y'all my picks for yesterday's bowl games. Rice will beat Western Michigan 38 - 14, Maryland will beat Nevada 42 - 35, and finally Oregon (when are they ever gonna quit wearing those stupid yellow shoes?) will surprise Oklahoma State with a 42 -31 win.
Not bragging or nothing, but I was 3 for 3 with those picks. Speaking of Maryland beating Nevada in the Humanitarian Bowl, I heard something that just made me laugh out loud. Evidently, 7 players from Maryland were denied a start in the game yesterday, due to the fact that they had broken curfew. I thought to myself, "What in the world time was their curfew? 5 in the afternoon, or something?" Think about it...they were in stinkin' Boise, Idaho. Not San Diego, or Dallas, or Honolulu, or even Lincoln...Boise, Idaho!
What in the world could be so interesting in Boise, Idaho after 5 in the afternoon that 7 players would risk punishment to take part in it? Maybe they had a big sale at the outlet mall or something...ignorant. But they won anyway...it was just Nevada after all. And what's up with that stupid blue football field? I wonder if they could not have found a more annoying, ignorant color to paint their grass? I swear, I'll bet if they ever put a dome over that thing they'll paint the ceiling green. Heck, when I watch ball games at Bronco Stadium, I turn the color off on my set...it's kinda fun really...reminds me of my childhood.
Well, my beloved LSU Tigers finally play tonight against the Georgia Tech Engineers in the big Chicken Sammich & Peaches Bowl in Atlanta. I've got to be honest, I'm really having trouble working up a healthy game day hatred for Georgia Tech. I mean, it's easy to hate Georgia, or 'Bama, or Ole Miss, or Arkansas...I've got a lot of practice at hating other SEC teams, and it comes natural. And it's easy to hate Big 10 & Pac 10 teams, because they all suck and are too arrogant to even realize it. But Georgia Tech is different. It's hard to hate a bunch of stinkin' engineers...for the most part they're pretty nice and productive fellows.
I haven't had enough practice at hating Georgia Tech to be very good at it. But I hate 'em anyway...but just for today. I'm picking the Tigers (of course) by 14, even though it's a homer for Tech. LSU is hungry...bad hungry...to prove something (if not to the SEC, at least to themselves).
Politics -
Illinois Governor Blogovetichiskiski has appointed some old black guy to a young black guy's Senate seat & the Dems are pitchin' a shoe over it all. I say "just let it die." Let the old guy go up there to Washington for two years. Like it's really gonna matter who they send up there. He or she will vote in locked step with Obama & against good sense anyway. In two years Illinois will have an election & vote for the "people's idiot" instead of the "goobernor's idiot." Let all this mess die down and let Jessie Jackson's boy run for it fair & square...it would be a much better way to enter a Senatorial career.
World -
When is Israel gonna finally get enough of these ragheads and blow them all the way to Iran? It is past. past. past. time that somebody puts the fear of Allah into Hamas, and the Hezbos, and into those Persian donkeys. And I can't think of a bunch with a more better reason to do it than the Jews.
Well, y'all have a happy New Year's Eve. Oh yea, if you live in Australia, Happy New Year mate.

If I read enough stuff on the internet, I learn something new. MARYLAND HAS A FOOTBAW TEAM?!?!?! Who knew? What are they, The Turtles or something stupid like that? Next thing you know, Los Angeles is going to start playing footbaw, the game is gaining so much popularity. Now, I am sure that LA's team would be terrible, but still, I bet they would all have purses that matched their shoes and helmets.
ReplyDeleteI like to imagine what would happen if some podunk town, where there was a bunch of inbreeding going on, started a team. Usually, Columbus, Ohio is the ridiculously stupid town I pick to imagine that kind of craziness, but I know that it would NEVER happen.
Two Dogs: I think they did try it in Columbus once. They couldn't even call "red" by the right name. They had to call it "scarlet."...pansies.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I can't barely wait for the appropriately named "Flower Bowl" to come on TV, so I can switch to Oprah reruns...she's a tougher man than anybody that will be on the field in LA that day.
Yes TD, Maryland does have a football team. They all roll their own terbakky, and it's really funny to watch 'em when you hit one on the highway...they just spin and spin and spin! Happy New Year TD...
