Abandonded by the Poker Gods

Last night was my monthly poker get together.

I love poker night just for the chance to hang out with a large of friends - which is a good thing as I lost all of my money again. That's $220 in less than a week!
Looks like I have been abandonded by the Poker Gods.

Damn Hippo

From MSNBC:

"March 21: Debra Lafave, the teacher accused of having sex with a 14-year-old student, says there is no double standard in the way woman sex offenders are treated."

No double standard. Really?? Does any one honestly believe that if a male teacher was having sex with a 14-year-old female student the maximum punishment would be three years house arrest and registration as a sex offender? If you believe this line, let me know...I have a dancing hippopotamus in the backyard I am willing to part with.


Debra also claims that her bipolar disorder made her commit the sexual abuse. Hmm...Isn't there medicine for that? Why wasn't she taking it? Did the hippo hide the medicine?

Never once did Debra admit she was to blame. Not once. Must be the hippo's fault.

Damn hippo.

You Suck, Now Sing - Round 3

Thursday night is round 3 of "You Suck, Now Sing". The four Suckiest Suckers this week will be Will Makar, Kevin Covais, Melissa McGhee and Kinnik Sky. They will each receive a free trip home where they can Suck in front of family and friends

For those of you keeping track at home my predictions have been correct 5 out of 8 (62.5%). Not too bad.

Tired but not Sick

After fours days of feeling like crud thanks to a cold, I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. Of course, I wasn't able to get to sleep until 2 AM or so, so I will have to work on far less sleep than usual. Oh well, I will happily give up the achey cold crud for the blissful embrace of zombie-like sleep deprivation

You Suck, Now Sing!

One of the things that I have always found odd about American Idol is that they make those voted off sing again at the end of the show! Hello?? They were voted off because they suck. And now they have to sing again? Why? Apparently it's not humiliating enough to get voted off by America, you also have to reconfirm your suckiness.

This reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live sketch. Tom Hanks chugs straight from a gallon of milk and then spews it out exclaiming, "Ewww! This is spoiled!" Another character immediately says "Let me see", slams a chug down, spews and confirms, "Yep, it sure is rancid".

::sigh::

I predict that the contestants in tonight's "You Suck, Now Sing" segment will be Brenna Gethers, Heather Cox, David Radford, and Will Makar. They all sucked and now they are compelled to display their suckitude for our viewing pleasure.

I will probably skip tonight's show. There is a jug of green milk in the fridge that needs testing.

Sucker Punched by a Paczki

Yesterday, 2/28/06, was Fat Tuesday and thus the office was full of the sweet smell of freshly fried paczki (pronounced poonch-key). Being that the aforementioned fried delights were on the GUFF table (General Unclaimed Free Food) I naturally helped myself.

Although the paczki tasted wonderful, they wrecked holy hell on my body. I could feel my blood sugar rising after the first bite and by noon I was almost comatose. Instead of eating lunch -which I really did not have the appetite for - I took a 30 minute power nap. After that I was able to function mostly normally.

What can I say? I made a bad choice. I really need to get my mind set that there are certain things I can no longer eat. That's going to be tough.
