hooked on phoenix

woman comes on teevee and says - "is there anything more important than grandchildren? i don't think so. that's why i am running for congress." eh? what? so you can be hundreds of miles from your grandchildren for several years, way too busy to spend any time with them?

this morning the local weather man described the local weather thusly, "it's just yucky outside." i think that is his professional opinion. you will also be glad to know it's meteorological [sp?!] summer. the meteorologists don't go by the old fashioned solstice-equinox system. oh, no no no! they use the new fangled "when it is hot, we will call it summertime. we are meteorologists. who the hell will question us?"

crappy green team was in the semi's last night, and guess what we did before the game? made plans for the finals. because, you know, we could work with the white team and schedule the game at a convenient time. most of the players will be at a 6v6 tourney this weekend, so that won't work, and the following weekend, many will be out of town. we've had lots of rain delays - the season should have been over weeks ago, so everyone has plans, see? we were planning what day would be good for the game. and, so blah blah blah, can you guess the punchline? we loosed the semi-final, 3-2. what a bunch of dopes.
