Give yourself a break. The family wants you to he happy and if that means a day a year with dad I'm sure they understand.

Thanks. Going back tomorrow, should be better games. Will be rooting against Ohio State with every fiber of my being.Yesterday was brutal, though. The first 2 games are a different ticket than the last 2. NCAA used to space these so there was enough time in between to leave, go grab some dinner and a few beers (no beer at NCAA tourney games). But with the new way they are staggering the games on 4 networks, we only had an hour yesterday. So we just pounded a few beers in the parking lot.

New Mexico hereI had St. Louis going to the Final Four. Guess I'll drop out of the 97th percentile.

Nobody cares about your brackets.My experience was similar (without the jesus humping).First of all, my TPBW to you. Second of all, my wife and I went to an all-black church for a gospel Sing-Off at the invitation of her co-worker (black). We were the only whites there. The lady next to my wife starting speaking in tongues and flopping her head around as if she being possessed. My wife fans her with her hands while trying not to laugh. Then in the choir, we see a woman singing a song while air-humping an invisible Jesus behind her. At one point, she disappears beyond the front row balcony divider. We almost lost it at that point. It was like the Holy Ghost was ###### her in the ### from the way she was carrying on. I would totally go back to a black church anytime vs. a white one. Bonus: the pastor came over and hugged us and thanked us for coming. I felt more welcome in that church than any other I have been to.And the entertainment value, coupled with an uplifting message is so worth it.Thanks GB.'Good said:'phishphan said:
It isn't that I don't like it exactly, it's just what I'm used to. I'm just as much, if not more, Scottish/Irish than my surname lets on. Our wakes are generally spent in the parking lot pounding beer and laughing loudly. Same thing after the body is in the ground. This was just something so different though, it was really moving. I cried like a baby most of the time although I'm fairly certain I was one of the only men to do sne part of the ceremony was called "the condolences". Anybody that wanted to get up in front of the mic and say something to the family could do so. There were a dozen or so people that did. I seriously considered it but since I more casually new him, thought it wouldn't be proper. One of the first people to participate was Aunt Jeanie. Short, outspoken gal, reminded me a lot of my Godmother. She gets on the mic and starts with "HI I'M AUNT JEANIE! WHAT'S MY NAME?!!" and everybody yells back "AUNT JEANIE!!"
She then went on about how Marlon, the deceased, was as a boy and how she was always on his ### and how he has to be driving God crazy right now. How we shouldn't be sad. She closes with "WHAT'S MY NAME!" and of course everybody yells "AUNT JEANIE" with much laughter. I need to see Aunt Jeanie again. She's good people.Everybody was dressed as you would expect for a funeral except for a couple of young men that were more gangsta. Pants hanging etc., you know what I mean. Well one of these guys is engaged to the Marlon's daughter. His daughter gets up to speak and he is standing right besides her. I'm thinking good for him. The poor thing could barely get a couple of words out though before breaking into tears and walking away. He just stood there for a long 20 seconds or so looking at the ground. He finally walks up to the mic and says "I'm not sure what to say so I'm just going to sing it". Then breaks out in some gospel song and was just unfreaking believable. What a voice. I was in awe to say the least.It was a tremendous religious experience for me. I don't go to church but I could see how people are satisfied by this because it did make me feel full although exhausted. I ended up going to my GB's (BFF) house and we split a case of beer. I probably shouldn't have driven home but I felt stone cold sober.
To Marlon.

I have to be honest here, and I hope I don't offend anyone, but I'd rather pay good money to see a large black woman air-hump Jesus than watch an NCAA tourney game. Just saying.
can't tell if this is a euphemism or not.#lesbianswithcatsproblems

I'm ambivalent about air-humping but I haven't turned the TV on today and the only sports I watched yesterday was US vs. Costa Rica in the snowstorm. I'm way more excited about the game Tuesday vs. Mexico (even though I think we're going to lose) than I am watching any college basketball.

In that case, Chupacabra vs. the Alamo on SyFy has the potential for greatness.

Very perceptive.Everyone leaving as freshmen/sophomores killed it for me.
how do you grill on each side without flipping them?The key is obviously the dough. She made it this morning and then makes three balls that sit in a giant ziploc bag on the counter for a few hours. She then rolls out 20-25 round crusts about the size of a Frisbee. Then, about 90 minutes before go time, you want to grill 'em for about 90 seconds on each side. They'll start to bubble up, which is fine, just don't over bubble 'em. Everybody gets to make their own pizza, which is always a crowd pleaser. Having variety is key. Fresh basil is a must, imo. Different meats, peppers, veggies, olives...you know the drill.Grilling the pizzas isn't rocket science, but there's obviously some care that needs to be taken. Too hot and you'll burn the bottoms and since you can't flip them, you have to be careful. I've found that grilling them over indirect/low heat with high heat on the opposite side works best. I like mine a little more done and the older your grill, the more flavor you'll incorporate into the final product. Lastly, my wife and I swear that the pizzas we make the next day with the leftover crusts are better than the pizzas we make the same day. I'm sure that's all in our head as I can't imagine that 'aging' the dough changes the taste, but we've done this a few times now and a day or two or three after we originally make them seems to add to the flavor.ETA: Revised above. Missed a step regarding the dough. It's been sitting out on the stove in zip lock bags. I guess to breathe? Pictures sent via text.Double Edit: Just talked to the wife, I'm way off on the dough process. There's another step or two I'm missing (SUPPLIES!) so wife will write down the official recipe later and I'll post it.

So my wife dropped this story on me last night -
Another teacher she's friends with is in a terrible marriage. My wife has known this for about a year, and I know this because every other Friday all the teachers go out drinking and when the wife comes home she looks at me with extra lovely eyes and makes a point to tell me how lucky she is to have me because other husbands (namely her friend's) are scumbags. Then I get the Fantastic Husband sex. I'm not complaining about this part.
But the story got more interesting and weird.
The teacher and her husband married right out of college, where he was a national champion (can't say what sport or school, sorry) and she was the girl in love with the big jock boyfriend. She got pregnant three months before the wedding. They bought a house in their hometown (same tiny hometown) and had two kids. Both kids are still very young, but the teacher and her husband hate each other. They've agreed to live in the same house for the sake of the kids and manage parenting duties as best they can, but they can't stand one another.
But wait, there's more. She has a boyfriend. I don't know if the husband knows, but she's been dating a guy regularly for months now. I guess she's Catholic and like I said, they're both from the same small conservative town, so the prospect of a divorce is so terrifying that she's decided to live with this man she can't stand, and get her carnal delights on the side.
How the hell could someone live like that? It boggles my mind.

F@#k you, you f@#king loser. You have no balls. No brass balls because you're a f*@king loser and that's all you'll ever be. Me? I watched The Avengers at least 15 times.

You got no leads. F$%k your leads. I could close on Transformers without a lead for anything, and you know why? Because I have two graduate degrees in literature and I don't need a good story to close on a movie: I make my own ####### story. What do you make? F#$k you, that's what you make.

I've been drinking since 10 am. Just felt the need to share. There's no special occassion except that my folks are in town and I tend to drink all day when my dad is around.
I will agree with Canuck that while GGR had some great performances and dialogue it was still less than the sum of its parts.
Also I'm reading Barbarians at the Gates because I've seen it called the best insider book about business ever written and I'm really struggling with it. Too Big To Fail was way better.
