It is March Madness and I’m here for it! I have absolutely no rooting interests whatsoever, so it’s fun to see how teams self destruct and rescue defeat from the jaws of victory.
So, aside from college basketball, what is there to talk about?
Current Events
We are now in the Second Round, so (you didn’t think I was getting away from college basketball that easy, did you) the pressure is on. I hadn’t seen that many missed free throws down the stretch (in the St. John’s – Arkansas game) in a very long time. Good to see the Gen Z’ers can choke under pressure like champs!
Seriously, the mentality of these kids today is so fragile, it’s crazy. I mean, they’ve lived through quite some tough shit (COVID-19, the breakup of the Black Eyes Peas, etc), you would think that would toughen them up.
This week, I had the opportunity to mentor one of those young kids at work. I guess when you grow up seeking the acceptance of others through social media, your mind gets a little warped. My advice: Get it into the sun and experience the real world. And use sunscreen.

Golf Update
I’m playing in another golf tournament tomorrow. This time it’s a team event.
Last week, I got a second place finish in Net for my flight in the individual tourney. I also got a skin for a birdie on a Par 5! That’s 75 points and $59 coming my way!

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Coffee from Vermont made in a Keurig with Caramel Macchiato creamer.

One last thing:
Seriously, hat tip to Brocky:
That sure is a familiar looking drawing. Whoever drew that must be a master with his little pencil.
Personally, I blame Jimmy Fallon for St. John’s going out in the second round.
But then, I blame Jimmy Fallon’s existence for most of the things going wrong in the world these days.
Jimmie Fallon should be skinned alive.
Also Capital One Bank Guy.
For a bank guy it should really be a pound of flesh kind of thing.
Nah, knowing him he’d laugh throughout the whole thing and ruin it.
Funny you mentioned Jimmy Fallon because he showed up in a repeat of Martin Short’s cameo-filled SNL cold open and I reflexively went “Ugh, him.”
Two absolutely inexcusable final possessions robbing us of the chance to see something cool happen.
This is why we can’t pay these kids.
“No, no, it’s fine, just use Nestor’s Venmo account.” – Matt Gaetz, explaining to Joel Greenberg how they are going to settle their accounts with the child prostitutes they brought to the Bahamas
Cougars showing no hesitation to blow nuts
Yet another replay of a possible inadvertent contact to a ball.
Being sent to the Locker Room due to hitting someone in the nuts and celebrating with the fans while leaving is the most accurate microcosm to the society we currently live in.
imagine they lose by 1 now…
Uh oh…

South Park never ceased to blow me away with some of the references. Because my uncle loves this movie, I had seen it a few times as a kid. I was sort-of familiar with it.
Then “cheesing” became a thing.
Butters Shoots a Guy in the D***
Kind of related to that Flagrant 2 Foul in BYU-Wisconsin.

“Upon further review, it was a nut shot. Two free throws are awarded because both were hit.”
BYU FLAGGED FOR FLAGRANT SOAKING
HAHAHAHAHA.
Some BYU kid just got thrown out for elbowing a Wisconsin guy in the nuts.
now he’ll get kicked out of school, for touching another man’s genitalia

The NBA should just shorten their games. They can still keep the broadcast like 5 hours — just run the clock same as two college halves though.
What are you guys all watching? I just tossed on ZAGS v HOU.
I find the Bulldogs more palletable as a high seed.
triblasting it
THIS BYU-WISCONSIN GAME I CALL IT ‘MOUNTAIN MEADOWS’ BECAUSE MORMONS ARE MASSACRING A BUNCH OF SLOW MID-WESTERNERS!!!
OR ANY NUMBER OF BAIN CAPITOL ACQUISITIONS IN THE 90S
For bracket purposes I would very much like BYU to maintain this lead.
soaking to the east, soaking to the west, soaking to the bracket I love the best i”m soaking

Creighton did not stay within 10. Fuck. Time to call it a day and not go on tilt.
Without any action, these fixtures are ass-flavoUred ass (with apologies to Balls)
That would make them good!
I mean, half Creighton’s team is eligible for AARP discounts; they only have so much run in them.
THIS GUY LITRE COLA I CALL HIM THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF BATTLEFIELD EARTH WHO WAS FIRED TWO DAYS INTO THE SHOOT BECAUSE HE ADVISED AGAINST GOING ON TILT.

Here’s another one of “Porter’s Evel Jumps,” where a classic 1970s Evel Knievel wind-up motorcycle toy is put through various stunt jumps. These short videos are really really well made. I’ve posted a few here before but I don’t know if anyone noticed them.
Because they’re Facebook reels (I think crossed over from Instagram) there’s no thumbnails unless I make one from a screenshot like I just did here:

You never have to be confused as to which team “Dallin” plays for.
I’m listening to The Freewheeling Bob Dylan (1963), his second studio album and the one that made him a major artist and cultural force at age 22. Almost every song is pretty well known but hearing them in their original presentation is powerful. It’s a really good album if you want to listen to something.
I think I’m flying over Arkansas, which is not something you hear every day.

Much better to fly over than drive through.
I got stories about that shit.

Hold on Guns Up! Preferably by 6.5
Hail Gamblor.
OK Creighton, lets keep this close.
The Barrels leading Auburn at halftime! Probably won’t last, like Rick Pitino in a tournament or whilst boning.
Boobs!
Creighton vs Auburn is Creighton biggest battle vs evil since Farscape
Hate the Drake
If they’re playing against the Sens, I’m with you.
