1/2 Week in Review
File under: Week 11 of 2007
As I was too busy last week to complete Week in Review and I will be taking the family for a short Spring Break trip to Sheboygan (aren’t you jealous Zappa Crappa?) I thought I’d publish a Half Week in Review this week. Thanks to Dane for this week’s pic/prayer (apologies to the JuggHead Evangelical Atheists). Here we go:
March Madness finishes this weekend. Can Florida pull off one of the most difficult feats in sports? Whatever the end may be, it can’t possibly be as Cinderella-like as Barton Bulldog Anthony Atkinson scoring 10 points to win the game with only 39 seconds left to win the NCAA Division II Championship. Not only is that spectacular, but it was the fourth time he hit a buzzer beater in four games! Barton has a total student population of 1100.
This story made me giggle for some reason. Strapping-on is one thing, but crocodiles?
The best news in the post-season football season so far (with the exception of Mr. Saban being announced as the Bama Head Coach) is that Joe Theisman will be leaving the booth on Monday Night Football, replaced by football guru Ron Jaworski. I love it. I have not liked (I am trying to use the word “hate†less often) Theisman since he played with Notre Dame and actually cheered when he got his leg mangled by Lawrence Taylor in 1985 (not really). Good riddance.
On the flip side, we must all say goodbye to a published icon, Life Magazine. The rag has featured striking photography and important news reporting since 1936 (even though it had a couple of other death knells previously, this looks like it). Rest in Peace Life.
Yarbz posted earlier this week about the Fucktard who killed and then burned the remains of his girlfriend. As hideous as that is, it isn’t as tragic as these refugees being tossed to sharks. I never cease to be amazed at how human beings will treat each other.
Here is my favorite headline of the week. Panda porn. Hehe. This was a close runner-up
I totally HATE it when this happens. I have to use the word occassionally.
I stopped by and visited Spazticus last night. His divorce is nearly final and he already has a new woman with whom he is living in sin. You should all be jealous of how happy he seems. It was good to see him (if only for a few moments). I can no longer live vicariously thru his batchelorhood (which appears to be nearly over).
Finally, a Phillipino man kidnapped an entire busload of children, but let them all go in order to make a political statement. What a Fucktard.
Happy healthy weekends to all.
Nice post FB. I didn’t know Spaz was getting divorced. Good luck to you Spaz! Have fun FB!
I hope Spazticus doesn’t mind me mentioning his impending divorce. He seems, well, giddy with his new GF and I think she is good to and for him.
Good to hear from you cj, you have been a little quiet.
I’ve been overwhelmed at work and I guess the stress of it all made me ill. I took two weeks off and feel much better now. Got a computer at home again finally, but can’t get the CD drive to work so I can get internet connection. When I do the I’ll be back to posting like in the past. The elections are coming up and I’ve got to do my part to make sure no Republican gets elected to office this time around!
Sheboygan? LOL…I am SORT of jealous but the fact that it is still like 20 degrees there aleviates my jealousy somewhat. : )
It was a little warmer than all that, but not much and the wind was howling! We did stay at a nice place…
What can I say? We’ve had good weather here in Dixie.
Spring is hit and miss in the MidWest. I can be freezing or hot, sunny or humid with fog or a nice breeze, but the flowers are popping up and golf weather is almost here.
