I get it. I do. Buuuuuuuuut, he's dealing with kids whose abstract part of their mind just opened up a few years ago. If they had gone on to lose that game it would have looked horrible on Cal, and rightfully so. He's a master manipulator, but this is going too far, in my opinion.

I am not comparing the two as coaches or human beings in general, but I'm sure we all remember that little jackass smirk that Gillispie would sport when the team was playing like crap. Is this that much different?

+1 on that Funk, to me it almost looks like he underminds the run at a perfect season (I don't think is gonna happen) so that if it does not happen there is no egg on him. Just my perception on how he has acted in close games, but then again if they get that buckle down defensive mind set and stop letting this teams go on the big runs we have seen against them who knows...

Confession IT'S GOOD FOR THE SOUL time...I wasn't paying attention to who shot that ball, only to Cal's reaction. You say, "well golly gee Mav, how could you NOT notice it was Bruce Hornsby's ranger that made the shot?"? Well, alls I can say is I'm the original selective attention deficit disorder guy.

Having now "seen the light" I agree with the Funkster's sentiments.

I like that Cal was making fun of this team. They need a fire up their asses.

The whole Kung Fu Cal thing really depended on the outcome of the game. Since we won, he is an evil genius. Lose the game and it is a jackass move.

So, on Mav's attention deficit test, I counted all the passes & saw the gorilla. But while watching the game, I saw that Hornsby Jr. was making the mandolin rain, but never realized that Cal was kung fu fighting on the sideline.

The whole thing makes me wonder how many things have I seen that no one else ever has. And how many things did I never notice aloong the way. Staggering.


On another note, I talked to a former collegue who is expecting his 4th kid in April. Dumb 'effer had his vasectomy undone so he could sire another one.

Mav...i am profoundly disappointed in you. For all of your supposed wisdom on the Swayze Trilogy and all things Swayze...you have failed to ever mention the Oscar-worthy Swayze flick called "Steel Dawn". Not to be confused with the trilogy classic Red Dawn...Steel Dawn is currently on Encore. The description of the movie says, "A post-World War III swordsman defends a desert widow and her water treatment farm".


Think Mad Max meets Conan meets Water World meets The Postman except the story line is 10 times worse than the later two pieces of crap and the acting is 100 times worse than any movie you have ever watched.

Having said all that...I can't bring myself to turn the channel. I cannot seem avert my eyes from this train wreck. Please...someone...make it go away.

Mav...I have a very simple solution for your selective attention deficit problem. You merely have to assign different tasks to each of the chicken voices in your head. For example...in that test you posted I quickly assigned the following...

Chicken Voice #1 was immediately assigned to count passes and ultimately correctly counted 15 passes...

CV#2 was assigned to watching the S's on the wall...

CV#3 was assigned to closely monitoring the elevator doors...

CV#4 was on "imminent threat detail" and immediately identified the dude in the black shirt as the biggest threat should a fight break out...that is until the gorilla appeared and was correctly identified as the more immediate threat...

CV#5...Always only thinks about sex. He reluctantly came up with 2,3,1 but then became profoundly confused when the chicks moved around and then completely shut down when the potential of beastiality came into play with the appearance of the gorilla. He then went back into default mode and resumed his daydream about a threesome with Jessica Alba & a girl i dated in college.


Of course this method isn't 100% reliable as the chicken voices don't always cooperate and usually tend to fight amongst themselves...but nonetheless...it's good to have a plan.

@Willy: I have planned a very quick road-trip back to Orlando April 20-22. Here's the scoop: Flying into Atlanta on April 16 late. Grab a few brews and then board a bus to Knoxville. Daughter will hopefully pick me up afternoon of April 17. I'm renting a U-Haul in Middlesboro on April 18 for the purposes of transporting my mother's furniture from SE KY to Orlando. Should arrive late evening on April 20. Departing early on April 22nd by, (drumroll, please) car back to SE KY. Ha ha, I haven't driven a car in 2 years. One of my relatives should accompany me both ways.

Hopefully we can hook up again.

Don't want to bring down the D, but I got a text tonight from one of my brothers that has been somewhat estranged from the family for several years. His wife's son was killed in a car accident tonight. Jake was in his mid 20s, married & 3 yo son. He was a veteran of Afghanastan. I texted him back my condolences and told him to call if he needs to talk. Not really sure what else to do at this point.

Saw an ad Jeff Bridges did for something (idk, ad sucked... No idea what it was for) but what he said made sense, and I got to thinking...

"People are too restless. They need sleep" - Jeff

He's right. If people got more sleep, less caffeine, cocaine, add meds, 5hr energy, etc, and just f'n slept for 7+ hrs plus an occasional nap, the world might before capable of detecting and laughing about sarcasm. Its crazy how uptight people act. We as a society picked up pitchforks and chased a f'n news anchor away from his job for 6 months. A f'n empty suited news anchor. I listened to reputable news ******** get up in arms about f'n comedian John Stewart! People that get mad about this stuff need 1) way more sleep and 2) the right drugs. 3) their voting privileges revoked.

Speaking of lack of sleep, the wifey and I JUST NOW ROLLED INTO KANSAS CITY. That's right folks, we were sposed to leave paducah at NO LATER THAN 2 pm Friday.

Actual departure time: 11:47 PM. I. ****. YOU. NOT.

But, hey, what's an all night 7.5 hour drive halfway up Illinois's *** and all across Misery when you're already sleep deprived? Two knock down drag out fights along the way -- she's driving, pull to the shoulder, yelling screaming fit I KNOW YOURE MAD AT ME ARENT YOU (I wasnt, I fully expected the late departure), YOU WANNA HIT THE CAR DONT YOU??? (WTF does that even mean? I've never hit anything in anger other than a straight-line baseball or a slowly pitched softball) YOU WANNA HIT THE CAR DONT YOU??? ( give me the keys, you're delirious, and not in a good way)

UN real. Simply. U.N. REAL. Now I've got 7 hours of lectures ahead on 45 min sleep.

But marriage is a good thing dammit, maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies. Wait.

That's hope is a good thing. At least so says Andy. If you ask Nando (from the feel-good hit movie "Alive") he'll say "what's so great about hope?" I'll tell you what's so great about her, she's got big hooters, or at least she did when her and Bo first hooked up in the mid 80s, now hope looks anorexic, so maybe Nando was write, I dunno. YAll be cool, I'll check in later.

When old lady menopause hits and shuts down the baby factory, do the emotional effects that visit us each month go away too? I know menopause itself is a big to-do, but afterwards do they start to chill out? Asking for a friend.

Funky, based on my own personal experiences, the answer is yes, but not completely. It depends on the person.

Thanks for the condolences fellers. I'm more worried about my brother than anything. His wife (the kid's mom) was already batship crazy. A big part of why he is not around much. It was just a weird thing to look down at my phone last night before going to bed to see that news.


Mash - that stuff about sleep is absolutely right. When I think about the times in y life when I felt great, its because I had the proper amount of sleep.

Mav - I know how it goes with schedules, etc... I never get to leave on time. Get a nap.

UkGrad; So very sorry for your loss. That is awful! Prayers for you and your family.

How is everyone on this Friday? I'm good..my lil buddy is sick though, wish dogs could talk, I just know he wants to sometimes. Just trying to keep him hydrated at this point.

Good Luck Ghost on your VDay goal. Please report back.

BBL. Have a good day all.

Nobody answered me on Bruce Jenner (I was being serious), does/will he stick with women (sexually) or men?
