Above is pictured the first-edition cover of a fantastic book, Walter Miller, Jr.’s “A Canticle For Liebowitz.” Be warned, even I found it a tad dark (and square on the nose social commentary, which made it all the more chilling). But one will also feel like a Jesuit-by-osmosis afterwards, which is the tie-in for tonight’s commenting. For ’tis Easter Eve, and celebrants or no, we are faithfully hoping for an all-Jesuit final of Loyola-Chi**** v. Villanova. Because fuck Michigan, and especially fuck Kansas (though thanks for beating Duke). I’m sure Jesus Himself would agree, and consider it a fine early Resurrection Day present.
#11(S) Loyola-Chi**** (+5.5, +230) v. #3(W) Michigan (6:09, TBS)
Both of these teams play solid defense, but the Ramblers’ is a touch above that. In the tourney especially, it’s been nothing short of fantastic. Should they continue to have flawless offensive motion like they did in the Flacco Eight, then Loyola is the value play here, not just the sentimental one. Michigan still relies too much on the 3, and chucker teams can always go cold. The one issue to watch is whether the Wolverines can successfully leverage their size advantage into a rebounding mismatch. That would likely turn the tide in their favour, and set Hippo a-drinkin. But surely we can get Sister Jean to the finals, at least!
#1(E) Villanova v. #1(MW) Kansas (+5, +180) (8:49, TBS)
Let’s appreciate for a moment the difference between this and the ladies’ dance, where all #1 seeds advanced. A fun tournament has to have a mixture of power and entropy (ok, I’d be fine with ALL entropy), and so far the Goliath factor has come from Villanova. They’re really good, y’all. Have been all season. Kansas…is more up and down, even during games. They almost pissed away a huge lead against both Seton Hall and Clemson, and needed a certain tripping enthusiast to choke in the Flacco Eight. It’s a sign of great respect for both Loyola and ‘Nova that the Jayhawks are a half-point away from as big an underdog as the Ramblers in this round despite the 1 seed and the pedigree. And I don’t have any cash on this moneyline (and did nae when they were +200 and +195, respectively).

Well, I need to go write a very sweet birthday card for lady BFC, because I did not buy her a present.
Thought I got you a present? April Fools!
/DO NOT actually do this.
You don’t need to buy her your dick. Just wrap a nice bow around it.
Jeebus. Leave it to Berserkedly to make excuses.
MAYBE THEY’RE JUST FUCKING STUPID OR DON’T GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

Why not both?
Berkeley employs war criminal John Yoo as a professor. All it exists to do anymore is make poor excuses for shitty people and ideas.
My experience with those folks leads me to think “don’t give a shit”, but I can’t rule out “stupid” for some of them.

This $7 store pizza is good enough.
Happy Redneck Thanksgiving.
So of course they chose the time of year when I could most exploit the barbecues in the patio area to do construction on that side of the building, which means that the next six-plus months I won’t get a chance to nearly blow myself up like this again.
How hard is it really to make sure you 1) don’t overfill the pot, and 2) have fully dried off the turkey?
We are into the looking barrel folks.
This man knows the truth, friends, and so does his pal in the barrel.

Foot stuck.

It would have.
I’m not joking here, fwiw…
Give a very exaggerated cough in her direction. Loud enough she notices.
Unless she’s with a big giant guy. Then just kick him in the balls and run.
She was with two big fat guys. I just left. I am too old to get into a fight.
Well shit. That’s gonna make my commute longer.
Don’t hit me with those negative waves, Seamus.
Unless I’m mistaken, we have ourselves a weiner.

Don’t take it personally….it’s random.
Ease ‘er down there. It’s just the software picking something out. Where as mine SHOULD be moderated. The drunker tWBS is the longer the moderation lasts…… That’s a mixed bag; I hope he gets drunk tho.

That would be the part that made it funny.
Oh bother.

STOP THE DAMN HONKING
My high school freshman P.E. teacher was on the 1940 Indiana championship team
My dads HS P.E. teacher was Marv Marinovich
My woodshop teacher got murdered when he bought a stolen car from some Baltimore chop shop. Does that count?
(also…very true)
To be fair, it kinda looks like the Starbucks logo.
Mine was Andy Zimmer. He was also a retired Marine Corps Colonel who was a WWII and Korea combat vet and you DID NOT walk on the basketball court with street shoes.
Hippo and meself might have a friend with a connection here actually.
My memory is fuzzy on the year, but definitely and Indiana connection. I’m thinking it was a HS team tho.
My H.S. football coaches were ignorant assholes. Granted they were not famous for it, but still.

Apparently, Scotty Hartnell might have broken another hockey player’s neck tonight. The sun rises in the east, water is wet, Trump tweets something inane.
“Apparently”
OK, so Mom just tried to tell me that it got down to 22 degrees here last night.
I pulled up the data and showed her it didn’t get anywhere near that….not even within 20 degrees of that.
She still won’t relent and now she’s really pissing me off.
“Well I know it did because I had to turn the heat on”
Yeah mom, that’s why I woke up sweating like a fucking pig this morning.

Extra inning baseball is shit
Hey baby….wanna see my Cyberdyne?
Get her Seamus. lol
Nah….she looks kinda stabby.
At least its better than Reds P Homer Bailey’s baserunning skills. From sliding into 2nd base spread eagle and responding to a 2-out flyball to center by standing still at 2nd base and admiring the ball’s flight.
last funny:
A lonely rooster sees neon sign flashing HOT CHICKEN STRIPS, walks into Popeyes and cringes in horror as he drops his dollar bills.
