No one got the song puzzle last week, so I am rerunning the songs. Y’all got pretty close with the states thing, but I wasn’t going to make it that easy for you.

There is a relationship between the states that you need to figure out.

Thanks again to y’all that contribute pictures! I greatly appreciate your input and I think our collective penises appreciate the pictures.

On to Balls’ Thoughts O’ Da Week!

Balls’ AFL Grand Final Preview

Yes, it’s the matchup that everyone expected at the beginning of the year: Melbourne Demons against the Western Bulldogs.

Of course, absolutely no one expected this matchup. However, no one can really say that these two teams don’t deserve to be there as they have really been the two most consistent teams in the entire competition.

During the Home and Away season, the Demons beat the Doggies by 28 (59-87) at Marvel Stadium while the Doggies beat the Demons by 20 (65-85) at the MCG. Both “home” teams lost the games.

That doesn’t really tell us much about what to expect for the Grand Final being held in Perth, does it?

Alls I know is that it is airing TONIGHT at 2:15 AM Pacific and 5:15 AM Eastern. I hope you East Coasters are able to wake up early to watch it. It’s honestly much better than the crappy EPL games. The channels are FS2 and TSN2.

Balls’ Book Corner

As I previously mentioned, I started reading the Fractured Europe series thanks to Hippo’s recommendation. I finished Europe in Autumn and wrote about it in a previous edition of Sexy Friday. I subsequently ordered Europe At Midnight, the second book in the series, and have now also finished it.

First off, let me say that it’s a completely different story with different characters from the first book but it is occupying the same universe. Some of the characters from the first book do make an appearance and do tie up some loose ends and also tie characters together.

The purpose of this second book is to develop the background from the other side of the story. Those of you that have read the books know what that means. It’s very hard to write about these books without giving away too much. I feel this is one of those books that is perfectly made for Book Clubs. Like people read them and then get together to talk about what they’ve read and what they think is next.

I’ve never thought about joining a Book Club. Mostly because I’m pretty anti-social, but reading this book kinda makes me understand why people would do it. You wanna share the cool shit you read but you really can’t do that with your friends because not everyone will know what you are talking about and they won’t necessarily relate.

Anyway, I greatly enjoyed the second book and I have today received the third! I will be writing about that one in the coming weeks.

I’ll just say that I want to thank Hippo for recommending this series. I am greatly enjoying it.

And now, for the music!

As I mentioned before, I’ve decided that I must take up the mantle that tWBS ran with and help to make this world a better place. I will do this in the one way he couldn’t: By introducing you to good music!

Today we are back to the puzzles! No one guessed last week’s puzzle, so I’m replaying it. You guessed that all the songs mentioned states. That’s the first part of the solution. The next part is that you need to determine how those states are related.

As always, I will give up to three hints in the comments at your request. You try to determine the hidden theme or link between all the songs. Good luck!
