This week we’re back to a full work week, none of that Memorial Day nonsense which makes me forget I have a job for 24 extra blessed hours.  Now, how to best go about making sure I don’t do that job?  Why, I’ll just remember to post a mock draft and then (sorta, kinda, not really), moderate it throughout the day.

This week we have a topic from the possibly angry mind of RTD, who suggested “explosions.”  We hashed this out in the back offices and have agreed that it has to be an explosion involving actual explosives, like TNT, volcanoes, that sort of thing.  You cannot take JJ Fozz for explosions of anger, nor can you take Peter North for, well, you know good and well what I’m talking about there.  Don’t make me type it or we’ll get banned in Florida.

Do we actually have anyone from Florida here?  I don’t think we do.  Speak up if you are, but be prepared to explain yourself.

I am making the executive decision that you can, however, take an athletic program/politician/celebrity just absolutely exploding their career and/or history.  Why?  Because it sounded like too much fun when I just ran it through my head, and because it gives me an excuse to post this fun little guy:

Your commissioner today is a man who knows a little too much about pyrotechnics, Howard Payne from ‘Speed’,

the movie that launched Sandra Bullock’s career, as well as launching more than a few things during the movie courtesy of the occasional well-timed explosion.

Rikki has already given me his first pick, the destruction of the Death Star from the original Star Wars arcade game.  if he can find a video that isn’t 8 minutes long he can add it here in post.  I couldn’t, and I looked for several seconds before giving up in disgust.

Rikki here. I mean I literally sent Horatio this clip when I proposed the draft topic, but…I suppose I shouldn’t harp on his deficiencies, he gets enough of that at home, and at work, and at restaurants, and when he goes to the post office, and when he’s on vacation, and at the hardware store…and, you know what? Let’s get to the video:

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

With the second pick I’ll take the destruction of the Death Star from the first movie, ‘A New Hope’ or whatever the hell it was called.

The rest of you are on the clock
