Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

What, is there no love for WV-Wake? What a game. Double OT, baby!

It was a tremendous day of basketball. UWM-BC was a great game. Ky-Cincy was a great game. Texas Tech-Gonzaga was a great game. Utah-Oklahoma was a great game.

Our wings are not tired.

The games yesterday were all exciting. The WV-Wake was really wild and uncontrolled for my taste though. I thought they were going to have to get fans playing with all of the players fouled out.

The most impressive part of the Ky-Cincy was the determination in the paint for rebounds. A lot of heart out there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Basketball... that's the one with the tall guys and the hoops, right?

I seem to be unable to come up with a plan for today that doesn't involve me handing over my hard-earned $$$ for merchandise at multiple locations. On the bright side, I'll get to play with said purchases immediately thereafter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I need to do laundry. I'm wearing my only clean t-shirt, which has a picture of a naked man on it. Howerver, many people look right at it and don't realize there's a naked man on it: [link]

(It's the Anne Leibovizt portrait of Keith Haring.)

Maybe too morbid and creepifying for a Sunday morning:

Shark tears man in half

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- Authorities were hunting Sunday for a six-meter (20-foot) shark that tore a man in half as he snorkeled off Australia's west coast, an official said.

...

The fatality is the first in Australian waters since December, when an 18-year-old surfer was bitten in half by a five-meter (16-foot) great white shark off a beach in the southern city of Adelaide.

Has this always been happening, or is tearing folk in half a trendy new thing for Aussie sharks?

Nothin' quite says, "Dude, I meant to kill him," like tearing someone in half....

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

I know the Great White is South Africa are friendly and have a tendency to er... is there a name for the species version of crossdressing?

Well, they like to leap out of the water...Like Free Willy, only, without the whiny american boy.

Aussie sharks are into Soylent Green. Well, it's only fair if the sharks are going after fans of Shark Finn Soup.

And so the Australian "X Days Without A Shark Halving" Clock gets set back yet again....

Why didn't I realise this before the need to use multiple exclamation points had arrived?
