So tell me what you really think....
Is it ever okay to to have sex on your buddy's bed when he is out of town? If said event occurs, what should the penitence be? Buying the aggrieved party new sheets? All the beer he can drink for a year? Naming rights to your first-born?
Astros are going into the most important week of their season thus far with a rotation of Wade Miller, Pete Munro, Jeriome Robertson, Scott Linebrink, and Tim Redding. Egads!
When I found out that Jeriome Robertson was white, I began to question all that I know about society.
Ok, GW Bush bashing note of the week: Quote sent to me by Rob. Does it sound Rumsfeld-esque? "Why of course people don't want war...But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is in a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you ahve to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." Hermann Goerring, at the Nuremberg Trials. And if you don't know who that is kids, look it up.
Goofy, skinny Clay or big-daddy Ruben? Chubby, wholesome Kelly, or skinny, skanky Kelly? One thing that we as a nation can agree on...From Justin to Kelly looks like it could potentially be the worst

On to my NBA thoughts...I've underestimated the Pistons all year, just like I did the Nets a year ago. Sure the East sucks, but they take care of their business. The Nets have looked great, which is hard for me to admit since I have such a deep-seeded animosity for Jason Kidd. I had a feeling the Spurs were going to take down the Lakers, I just didn't expect them to completely fold up and surrender at home. Hari chips in his thoughts on that series. And then there was the Mavs-Spurs...wow. Game 3, the 141-137 2OT game had to be the single most entertaining game of recent memory. Just clutch shot after clutch shot. The Mavericks played with lot more heart and sack than I anticipated...but as much as I hate to say it, the Kings win that series with a healthy Chris Webber. But in the end, who cares..Mavs move on, and they will be your next NBA champion. Surprised? I am. But they match up well, and I think the Mavs are over the menatl hump after beating the Kings and seeing the Lakers fall by the wayside. Duncan will dominate, but Dallas wins in six. Oh, and I'll underestimate the Pistons again...Nets in six.
By the way, if you are in Vegas this week, bet Spurs in Game 2. They are a desperate team and Dallas seems to lack the capacity to but their boot on a opponents throat.
My new job is going approximately as well as law school did. If anoyne wants to act as my agent, I will pay you with 3 percent of my earnings.
For the past 9 months or so, my friends and I have been hanging out with a lot of girls with boyfriends. After all of this time, we have finally discovered that they are good for something other than blue balls. Bait. Basically, you cast them out into a bar, wait for guys to buy them drinks and then they bring said drinks back to you. All we have to do is provide protection in case the guys get too frisky. See? Thanks to Nick or Rob who suggested this (my memory of that night is a little hazy) and to Leigh for being the inspiration.
One egregious oversight in my Bend it Like Beckham review that Chris brought to my attention: The ridiculous string of "top-that" endings that occur in the movies last 10 minutes. Not to give away the ending, but it would be like if you find out that your sickly little brother is cured of cancer, only to be followed by winning the girl of your dreams five minutes later, directly followed by an agent offering you a recording contract, just as the lottery numbers go across the television screen and you realize that you just won 200 million dollars.
Sign number one that I am beoming a bad person...I have spent a considerable amount of time at TardBlog.
Sign number two: I am worshipping at the shrine of Tucker Max. What happenned to the idealistic young liberal that I use to be?
