Another Coupla Things...
Sorry, I don't like to do Coupla Things this close together, but I've got a coupla quick hits for you...
* You know what the best "fake call in sick illness" is? Food poisoning. Think about it: You get it suddenly, out of the blue. It COMPLETELY incapacitates you--but only for 24 hours. Once you get it out of your system, you're good to go. It's not suspicious at all that when you come to work the next day you're fine, and with as dirty as most fast food places are, it's very conceivable that you get it.
* Congrats to Oklahoma City for landing the Charlotte Hornets for 35 games this NBA season. This is Oklahoma's chance to make it on a national scale, and no, all you assholes from OU don't count as making it on a national scale. You want to get an NBA team there? You want to make it as a big city instead of a medium sized one? You had better sell out every single game, and it had better be as rowdy as it is in Gallagher Iba. This is your shot. It's up to you if you blow it or not.
* If you live in Houston, please leave now. It's up to a Level 5.
* X Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse comes out today. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this. Because it's an X Men game? No. The X Men games carry a long and proud history; both X Men titles for the Sega Genesis were outstanding games, and the original X Men Legends for the Xbox was a great game, as well. Is it because En Saba Nur, perhaps my favorite villain of all time, is in it? No, I don't really like the way they've drawn Apocalypse. It's not bad...but it's not great. It's because, finally, we have an Hack and Slash game genre that can be played online over Xbox live!!!! Finally, Kyle, Sam, Barry and I can destroy the forces of evil together, even though we're in four different places, including 2 different states!! Thank you Xbox! Thank you!
* God I need help.
* Title IX is 33 years old. Let's get rid of it. It's time for a new law, because this isn't fair and doesn't really work anymore.
* The NBA Developmental League (or the "D League") team for the Dallas Mavericks is in Fort Worth. You've got to love that...even if you're in the NBA, if you're not ready for the big time that is Dallas, you get sent to Fort Worth. But hey, if you work hard, then you can come back to the big city. So great...it's like a punishment to be sent to Fort Worth.
* Funny headlines: Northwest Airlines hopes Union Concessions will keep company out of Chapter 11 My response to that? The headline 2 days later: Northwest Airlines files for Chapter 11
* Everyone have fun at Austin City Limits this weekend!
* I rode in a Mini yesterday. That's right, 6'7" 245 pound Michael Pondrom rode in a Mini. Actually, there was a surprising amont of legroom in the front, the stereo kicks ass, and it was a fun little car.
Of course, we did have the top down...
Thanks for the ride Linda!
* Peace.

We don't have to sell out every game. All we have to do is make 5% more locally than the Hornets did in NO. So instead of having just 20 fans at the games, we just have to have 21. So by myself, I can make sure the NBA is here in OKC to stay!
LOL I will.
