May as well add another addiction to the pile. Is “Jones” or “Jones-ing” even used any more as a euphemism? Back in the day you could have knocked me over with a feather when someone explained to me that, “Me and Mrs. Jones” was about a guy and his heroin habit.
Back in my bartending days I would have to work doubles all the time so I would set my VCR(!) and record the games, go home at 11pm and then watch everything on tape, go to bed at 5am, wake up and do it all over again. I was made of stronger stuff back then.
I’ve not watched much ball this year so I’ll list the tilts on tap and give you bad info regarding one or both teams.
To The Games!
#11 VCU/#6 UNC:
Herbert Davis doesn’t strike me as that good a coach-he’s a middling talent, just as he was as a player in the pros. But he gets A+ and that covers up deficiencies quite a bit. VCU was 16-1 to close out the season and wasn’t seriously challenged in their conference tourney. Phil Martelli didn’t get a head coaching job until he hit his 40’s and he doesn’t have a losing season-he’s going places, hopefully to the next round.
#16 Howard/#1 Michigan:
Them Wolverines made the Big Whatever look like the garbage conference that it is-romping thru the sked as though they were in the MEAC. Sorry, Howard.
#11 Texas/#6 BYU:
I’m always suspicious of west-ish coast teams because they always collapse when the rubber hits the road and BYU fits that bill for me. I’d be amazed if they blew out Texas.
#10 Texas A&M/#7 Saint Mary’s:
Saint Mary’s has a shit ton of blow-out wins to their name this year. Like, a lot! They also split with Gonzaga and lost to Santa Clara twice by single digits. ColoUr me intrigued.
#14 Penn/#3 Illinois:
The Big Whatever sucks and Penn closed the season on a 10-1 run. Give me that sweet, sweet upset.
#9 Saint Louis/#8 Georgia:
Kinda worried about this 9 seed-they piled up a ton of wins in the early/middle of the sked and finished 3-3. Their leading scorer gets buckets at a 13 point rate so they have no go-to guy. This looks like a romp for Georgia.
#14/Kennesaw State/#3 Gonzaga:
What/Who/Where is a Kennesaw? Was it an implement used to cut down Redwood trees in the 19th century? Let me know in the comments. Them Zags will choke in the next round, not this one.
#15 Idaho/#2 Houston:
I’d think that the #2 seed just has to score about 50 points to win this one.
Enjoy the games monkeys!
I have lived my entire life to this point thinking that Me and Mrs Jones was about an affair with a married woman. But not that surprising I guess considering I thought the Brothers Johnson were simply a siblings funk group.
DFO is a learning place.
Ciao tutti.
“Turning Japanese” is not about transforming into a Far East person.

Holy shit this Tigres-FC Cincinnati game is awesome.
That last goal by Tigres was insane!
There’s a white kid on Howard?
This woke DEI stuff has gone too far!!
I hope his name is Ken.
Ken, Howard. The White Shadow.

Party at Brick’s palace!
You mean fortified compound
This is the dumbest dystopian nightmare I’ve ever seen!
It makes more sense when you realize he’s doing to cover up the fact that he raped kids.
But it’s way too much work. It’d be far easier to open up Area 51, tell us who really killed JFK and Santa.
The war, that is not a war, but an operation, or excursion?
That is to prevent an imminent nuclear threat from a program we obliterated?
Which Iran was restarting, except not, but maybe would have?
For which we were totally prepared for and had everything ready, but also nobody knew all these things would happen?
On which we need help, but don’t, but would like it, but wouldn’t like it?
Excursions are what you do when you’re on a cruise ship
For Hippo:

Such a good tune.
That album was so, so good.
VCU says FUCK YOU Hippo and UN*C
I don’t think Hippo is especially upset.
Or conscious
He’ll be happy for a change when he finds out.
It’s these brief moments of schadenfreude that make life worth living. ok, ALMOST
EAT SHIT

It worked! Down goes UNC!
As great as they’ve been during the first half, Howard’s not going 73% from three in the second.

If there isn’t already, there should be a non-profit that provides somewhere to send livestreamed data to be saved and reviewed and/or made public
I’d like to thank Hippo’s migraine nap for missing the inevitable Duke comeback. I’d like to shake my fist at Hippo’s migraine nap for the next 6 hours as I wait to be able to go to sleep for reals.
Also, VCU can fuck right off. Fuckers.
Oh but they will NOT fuck right off!
PRAISE JEEBUS!!!!
Oh shit, they’re kicking HI I’M MARK DAVIS out of the club.

Won’t someone think about Tonight Girlfriend and her financial needs? Oh, the huge manatee!
Mark Davis dating a manatee would not surprise me in the least.
Things happen fast around here. Just had 19-year-old male shot twice, once in the back, the other in his testicles. Seriously.
Kept him awake and talking before medics got there.
He’s probably at the hospital now.
That gets the adrenaline going.
You joke with him that it’s probably a blessing he can no longer feel his dick smgdh

Well this is a first. My flight to Ayoland is delayed by an hour because it’s too fucking hot and the plane can’t carry a full load and still take off from the shorter Burbank runway.
Jettison the fatties!
Surpised they’re delaying instead of just sending the baggage on a later flight. I guess just since it’s close to sunset
Fun Fact: “Full Load” is one of the many, many radio call signs the Secret Service uses to summon the White House cleaning staff for any “poopsie doodles” by the Paedo-In-Chief
Well then you’re going to love all the rain here!

Ugh, the required license renewal course doesn’t have 2x speed on the videos. Did you know you aren’t supposed to drive into other cars or do stupid shit while driving?
Has anyone ever called the left lane “the number 1 lane”??
I do when I’m building traffic novels but that’s more by coincidence than anything else – the right-hand lane is the one most likely to merge, etc. so it’s easiest to have that be the highest-numbered one.
There is an entire genre of novel about traffic?
Boring as fuck and go on interminably. Must be a Russian author.
Yes. That’s what it’s called
You don’t just refer to it as the left lane? Or the fast lane or the passing lane? You’ve actually used the term in conversation?
Maybe it’s common, but I’ve never heard or seen it used outside of driving instruction materials
Do you not listen to Scott Reiff, the Skylord?
Ahhh, okay, so it’s a LA thing
“left turns are on the left side of the roadway”
NO SHIT
Ma’am I assure that I have a number of clients that would be surprised to learn that.
You aren’t allowed to hit pedestrians? WHO KNEW??
And apparently you aren’t supposed to drive while stoned out of your mind! Crazy!
Unless they have it coming
what if they already were dead?
I’m going to get my Real ID in a couple weeks just like a Real Boy.

I saw Fist City at the Roxy in 1998.

Don’t drive in front of trains. Got it.
lol yeah, like we’re just gonna sit and “wait” like some cuck
f-35 got hit by iran, but somehow made it back to base
yet it cannot handle a brief rain shower or a gentle breeze
The video looks like it took a direct hit and survived, which cannot be true. What probably happened is that the missile hit the chaff or whatever countermeasures, but it was just the right angle for the video to look like the F-35 isn’t a giant piece of shit. Or whatever this guy said:

Hey! We picked the same upset!
VCU is dictating the pace vs UNC. The latter’s answer is to feed their ugly, awkward 7 footer the ball. That ain’t gonna work.
Pabst Pete Hegseth is genuinely shocked that simply chugging beers and sucking on Donny hasn’t been enough to win this war.
IRAN JUST DOENST LOVE MURICKA AND TRUMP ENOUGH
f-35 got hit by iranian anti-air defense earlier
he is gonna have to suck a little bit harder now

The ex-wifey went to Penn for her medical degree. Since our great-great-great-great-great-great grandkids will still be paying for that, I’m tangentially a Quaker. Any Big Five school is capable of making and breaking brackets, and the denizens of Philly are always amicable and good-natured.
Made a joke elsewhere that, “High Point is gonna win-it’s right there in the name!” and am enraged I didn’t follow thru with an upset pick.
Wait. The winning bucket was scored by a dude that hadn’t scored all year? I luv this kind of stuff.
This is why the first round is the best round. It all gets kinda staid from the sweet 16 onward
he has made many, many 3 pointers
that was his FIRST deuce all year
Ah, it is important to diversify your portfolio during these difficult times.
