The shock of learning that you were not going to wear a bow tie with your tuxedo at your wedding must have caused him to lose control of his car.

This is why I wear jeans to business events. It makes a power statement, and the hoi polloi are made less comfortable.

Now if the rest of you would just get dressed again...

Christ, now there's two of you. Maybe threaded fora aren't such a bad idea after all.

Too bad. He and that band of guys who for the most part did little on the professional level turned in one of the most stunning performances in US Olympic history, if not modern Olympic history. Don't think I'll ever forget watching that...

Do You Believe In Miracles? YES!
 

What an amazing game that was. If you haven't seen the documentary on it, you should.

Do You Believe In Miracles? YES!
 

That performance was so intensely compelling that it's easy to forget it wasn't the gold medal matchup --- we had to go on to beat Finland in another nail-biter with three goals in the third period. But everybody forgets the Finland match.

It's kinda the same phenomenon that causes everybody to misremember that the Red Sox lost the '86 Series because the ball went through Buckner's legs. Well, yeah, but then they had to go and lose an entire other game in order to lose the whole banana.

Do You Believe In Miracles? YES!
 

And some other people forget that the game was already tied, after the Sox blew a two-run lead, when Buckner let the grounder go through his legs. And that Stanley wasn't covering first anyway, and Wilson likely would have been safe. And that John McNamara left Bucker in at all when he had Dave Stapleton as a late-inning defensive replacement.

But I digress.

Monday Musings
 

1. Metrosexuals are officially no longer "in." Proof? A feature story in the Minneapolis paper. Sorry Penske, your 15 minutes are over.

2. I have a mystery. Yesterday I returned home from church to find a very large gift bag on the Manor front porch. Inside were 3 items, unwrapped: A baby doll with a pink diaper, a small white pillow with eyelit trim and a stuffed purple hippo toy (the tag of which has the old name of a store that changed its name 2 years ago). No note. No tag. Nothing that even indicates I am the intended recipient. If I didn't know the Fugee Mom hadn't been in town, it is just the thing she'd have done -- only remembering weeks from now to call and tell me what I'm supposed to do with the stuff. The bag sits on my dining room table until the mystery is resolved.

Monday Poll
 

This is sort of reality TV based but not necessarily.

It appears that at least one couple had sex in the Big Brother 4 (in like the first week or so) house although I missed that episode. If they did the deed, it is a first for U.S. Big Brother shows.

Question: If you were cast in a reality TV show, would you have sex with the cameras rolling? For those of you I already know are going to answer yes, what show would you want it to be and would you do it furtively under the covers or buck nekkid for all the world to see like a porn star? And if the first 2 questions are too easy, what would all you wannabe porn stars do to give the internet live feed watchers (or the cameramen for those who prefer a different reality show) a thrill?

You can make whatever assumptions you wish about the hotness and willingness of the fellow contestants, permission from the SO, ability to keep one's parents and grandparents from watching, etc. but may not assume any changes to your own physical anatomy.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Their hands were full. They'll drop the baby off tomorrow night.

new and improved?
 

A British guy called me a "poofster" on the golf course this past weekend for showing up for my tee time in surf shorts, a flowered hat, flip flops and painted toes. I think this must be the Euro-word for metrosexual and probably raises my status to one of Metrosexual, Internationale! My next 15 minutes have just begun.

Olé!

Fugee's Sex Poll
 

No.

Were the answer yes, I would do it Real World style . . . under the blankets, and then lie about it on the reunion show.

Spray on tan
 

Sure

Welcome!

Tapped Out
 

So true. This past weekend I was helping my dad pack, so we had boxes all over the place. My nephew, who is one year old, got very excited and went running for a box.

Well, you know how packing boxes have flaps? You know what happens if you hit one of these flaps as you run towards the box, especially when you are the size of a one year old toddler?

That's right, you do a flip and you land inside the box. Sit there shocked for a minute as your Aunt, Dad and Grandpa stand there shocked for a moment, and then burst into tears as Dad picks you up.

He was fine, which enables me to say, damn that was some funny stuff.

Kids are hilarious. Extremely entertaining. You can't make up the shit they do.

Monday Poll
 

Probably. Not too concerned about family finding out I guess. They can deal.

But I would probably do it furtively under the covers and wouldn't really be interested in giving the audience a thrill.
