Let me first say that betting is a bad thing to do. Do as I say, not as I do. And you are an idiot if you follow MY betting advice. Don’t believe me…? Just look at my brackets.
If you’re really wanting to go and follow anyone’s betting advice it should be that of the lovely and talented King Hippo . He smrt.
But you still shouldn’t bet. It’s a vice and if you do it you are a horrible human. Hippo and meself already know we’re horrible humans so it doesn’t matter to us anymore.
But don’t bet. It’s a bad thing to do.
About a week and a half ago, I laid out $500 each on five different college basketball games. It was house money at that point, built up from an initial $250 layout. But it was still a very stupid thing to do. Mostly, I did it because I needed the diversion from real life. I don’t know if that makes sense or not. And fortunately, I hit on four out of five games, netting another $1500. I also hit yesterday on the Texas Tech line (thank you Red Raiders).
But now I’m cashing out. It’s time to get out before my run of luck turns.
Having said that…..

Well I mean, you can’t blame the cow for that one.
Good lord there are a lot of Bulgarians in CA.
The Romanian fighter’s nickname is ‘The Sniper’
If they’re looking to kill some Greeks, I can point them in the right direction.
They seem very riled up.
Lady BFC has never seen Temple of Doom so we’re rectifying that tonight
That’s a weird name for your dick, man.
But congrats on teh sex.
That’s not his dick.
Damn, that’s good.
KHALI MAAAAAA!
I’m staying out of this one.
(phrasing)
LOL….rectifying.
Batman wanted to hit that, but Catwoman wouldn’t put up with him yelling out “Ka-Pow!” and “Blam!” whenever he got close to finishing.
All the things I’ve read about the northern lights, tells me to look east
Can anyone shed any light on this?
(Pun unintended)
The one time I saw them in CT I was looking more to the east than the north. I have no explanation for this.
Also they were a very pale green.
Watching a boxing match where one of the guys is “one of the most popular athletes in Bulgaria”, so that’s awesome.
This gets better. It’s a Bulgarian against a Romanian and the fight’s in Southern California.

Just now at the Cornblower estate:
Horatio: Hey, where are the Northern Lights tonight?
Mrs. Horatio: I don’t know but I’d guess you should look north.
Horatio: I want a divorce.
Well to be fair, she did have a good point.
Yeah, I meant to say ‘when’ but she was too quick for me.
It’s a lot like our wedding night.
Hehehehe
That too, oddly enough.
HONEY CALL THE FRONT DESK WE NEED TO SWITCH ROOMS…..QUICKLY!!!!!!
(also ask for some extra towels?)
When you start your day with your normal smoothie and a piece of wholegrain toast then head to a pub crawl with wings and beer and deviled eggs and prime rib, well your system may have an equal yet opposite reaction.
Oh look! More drinks!
Go faster, train! I require a burrito and a whiskey.
And we’re on to Round 2…
A mere 7.7%. At this rate I’ll be finishing the evening with corn syrup free Bud Light.
Just kidding. I’ll go down the street and buy heroin before I drink Bud Light.
Oooh is heroin in season?
In Willimantic? My friend, it’s never out of season!
There’s gotta be an easier way to rearrange the furniture.
YOU STAY OUTTA THIS SHE’S DOING JUST FINE!!!!!!!
be me
See on the news you might be able to see the northern lights may be visible
Turn off all the lights in the house.
Notice a green glow out my front window
Get excited, holy shit ! I’m seeing the northern lights!
Go to window
Realize its the lightposts in the yard that still have the green bulbs in them from christmas
Realize I am the dumbest fucking person on this planet
Wonder how the fuck I have made it this far in my life without accidentally killing myself
Start eating some chips
What time does snl come on?
I just tried this but all I saw was a goofy-looking guy standing right outside the window miming everything I did, but mirrored.

Really? I was only thinking of tacos.

“Can I get a jersey with the Giants’ GM’s name on it?”
I saw this on Twitter the other day:
First guy to eat a banana: This is disgusting!
First guy to peel a banana: Dude, check this out!
That may be true for this also.
I love hockey and will continue to inject into any and all situations, but every I hear or read the word “celly” it makes me want to jump off a bridge.
Any specific bridge orrrrrr….?
A big one. But not one of the famous ones, I don’t want to cause a scene.

Could be worse. Could be hearing “Sully”

So I guess Villanova was not a good upset pick
I’m a little drunk, and I’m a little high. I’m also on a train. It was a successful DFO pub crawl, even though there was a lack of SPONCH!
I’m laughing right now at this.
The Sponch part mostly, but the rest also.
The fucking gas station apparently doesn’t carry it anymore. BOLTMAN has added them to his list.
Chronic sponch shortage, man!
Home with an assist from uber.
Glorious gathering indeed.

Can’t wait for the DFO pub crawl through nearby Willimantic. “Police said that the two deaths were surprisingly low given the level of violence that broke out after the initial burst of ‘Patriots suck’ chants, but that they still felt that the fires were unnecessary.”
Fun fact: Apparently someone hijacked a bus and the conclusion came about in front of the pub we were at. ONLY IN LOS ANGELES!
I’ve never watched that show. What is she so happy about?
And how can I help?
She realized that the show’s been on long enough for her to get syndication payments for the rest of her life.
Yes. That is also the same dame dance Hippo does when he wins a bet, no matter the gamboling totals.
I don’t find it funny and it has an irritating laugh track. I don’t really like sitcoms anyway. But those two women make some good gif-age.
The only reason that show has lasted as long as it has is that both of the leads are easy on the eyes.
People laugh at different shit and enjoy that show. Big Bang Theory is one of the most popular shoes ever.
It’s a shame that show wasted Kat Dennings, who is hot and funny, and was the last role Garrett Morris had.

UConn didn’t make it.
Wow, that was a really good nap.
What did I miss?
-Villanova
Dayum, just checked. They are sleepwalking, huh?
What evidence do you have that they are even ambulatory?
Date night……
The 80’s!
Dude in the middle looks like that guy from Gymkata.
I believe that’s Mike Modano.
No I think his name was Jonathan Cabot, a gymnast.
/Hurls tomato at Herodotus
OH YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!
Jokes on you, that’s one fewer tomato I need to buy to make some homemade catsup
I’ve just poured my first beer of the evening, thought it tasted sort of strong, looked at the can and realized I’m drinking a 10.5% ABV sour.
Rest of the night should be interesting.
That looks fucking delicious.
I usually don’t like sours but the vanilla in this one is making it an exception. It is very, very good.
Or it’s just the 10.5% doing its thing.
So; handsome, funny, tall, AND rich.
1 for 3 over a lifetime will get you into the baseball Hall of Fame every time.
/hits head on door frame
Watching the AAF game and David Cobb is on the San Antonio Commanders. That’s the most “holy shit I remember that guy” guy I can think of.

Great song.
The namesake university is not living up to it right now
found a funny:
If you are late to your first appointment with a new dentist, it’s a power move, yeah? Like sure I have teeth, but I don’t let it define me.
Guess Coach Pitino Jr. done blew his wad Thursday
Getting more and more unlikely that there’ll be another good game today
Florida finishes with a sub-50 score; and also they only scored 49 points in the basketball game!
Wait, you did that math IN YOUR HEAD?? – U*NC grad
One can’t watch FSU hoops without remembering Big Jelly – who I assume is ded by now.
You know how when you’re sick you’re not really hungry but then suddenly you get real hungry and eat a ton of things and then can’t decide if you’re hungry anymore? Just me?
that’s me but replace “sick” with “fat”
Baylor-Gonzaga, now there’s a mismatch of demographics.
are the Jesuits not the pro-rape branch of Catholicism?
I always thought they were the least rapey of the bunch (not saying much) and/or possibly the “confirmed bachelor” wing of the church if you know what I mean.
oh yeah, that you prefer living alone or with one male roommate from time to time – Sen. Lindsay Graham
name won head college hoopsball coach who looks MOAR like a paedo than Scott Drew u cant!!
Everyone is watching the Hockey East Championship game right? Go Northeastern!
Ja Morant hitting shots early….
Doing some hard drinking at the pub crawl:
