If anyone is up for some baseball picks:

Braves over Astros (Houston can offically not claim they are better than the Rangers until they have won a playoff series)

Diamondbacks over Cardinals

Indians over Seattle (Indians show Seattle what playoff experience and clutch hitting really is)

A's over Yankees (tough call, but I think this is the year the A's can do it)

Indians over A's (A's are good, but still young pitching that will fold in the big game)

DIamondbacks over Braves (two non-hitting teams, and for once, the DBacks pitching is better than Atlanta's)

Indians - Diamondbacks in the series, and I gotta say, even though a Schilling/Johnsons 1-2 punch is tough to beat, plus having to face them both a second time possibly, I think this is the Indians year.

Oh yeah and Baylor gets pissed at Nebraska and hurts Crotch in a 11 man rush.

Heh. She said flavor.

Drunk Story 6, K State lost at HOME against Colorado last weekend not in Boulder. And to further the picks.

Georgia Tech over Maryland by 10

OU over KU by 14.

Colorado over A&M by 3. Close game all the way though. A&M with a strong second half as usual but can't quite get there.

Auburn over Florida by 7 in a big upset.

FSU over Miami by 10 cuz FSU hates that Miami claims to be the 2000 national champions.

Always good to see people who know what advice Homer got from his dad on his wedding day.

The power of the flux capacitor cannot be discounted. For something so small to so empower a lawn chair, is just fantastic. I go with cheap Wal-Mart garden furniture molded with a flux-capactior intake anyday.

And donuts suck.

i think the flavor is very important
but you should choose the toaster for sure--definitely the toaster even though you chance completely altering your further reality :)
I guess it just depends how obsessed you are with donuts.

The flavor of the pie is irrelevant. The important thing is that the pie can talk and is key in a film about a killer robot driving instructor who travels back in time for some reason. This brings up an interesting question. Which method of time travel is better- using a lawn chair that appears to have a flux capacitor attached or by using a toaster with flashing lights?

matt--i thought your story was entertaining--not exactly the kind of thing you would hear as a 15 year old in driver's ed--i want to hear more about these talking pies though--are these cherry or lemon meringue?

i doubt it, but don't mark my words...i might want to change them if we're winning right before the end of the game.

TEXAS A&M will beat the Colorado Buffaloes.

Mark My Words!!!!!!!!!

rock on!

Blarneystone whips ass. Where else can you go to see hordes of drunken, slobbering frat daddies trying to pick up anorexic, drunken sorority whores?

Blarneystone whips ass. Where else can you go with an Australian friend and have him talk to every girl there while you and your friend settle for sloppy seconds....damn accents to hell!

I'm declaring a jihad AND a fatwa against homework. Gotta cover my bases...

You guys...want...some cookies?

I'll have a rum and zinc.

Do I smell wheatgrass and vodka? I call it a lawnmower, you want one? Yes!

Yeah, you have to have the talking pie. Without the pie, it would just be Alec Baldwin on screen for two hours.

Was Jon the only one entertained by my tale? It has everything american audiences crave: sex, violence, car crashes. You add a killer robot driving instructor, a time machine, and a talking pie, and you've got a blockbuster on your hands.

Ok, you haven't lived until you've had an ice cold, Smirnoff Vanilla Twist Vodka martini. Holy shit that's good...

P.S. I'm sure the "oral" arguments of the case simply "blew" the jury away.

Last weekend was a rough one for this supposed guru. I was 0-for-5 if you count my two sleepers, against the spread. 2-for-3 picking winners, but what fun is that? Let's see if I can't do any better this week ...

UT @ OklaSt - UT by 13 - There is a greater-than-zero chance that Major sees time before the 4th quarter. Simms really needs to have a good game, especially since he now has 12 INT's to only 11 TD's in his career.

A&M @ CU - CU by 5 - Unpopular choice, I know, but how do you pick against a team who beat KSt in Boulder last week? Tough game for the Ags - gonna have to show something on offense in the 2nd half, unlike earlier games.

Neb @ Baylor - snicker. Nevermind. Anyone think Baylor can even score? They are at home, where they've scored their only points against Neb in Big 12 play.

Two "if you care" picks ... USC tops Arkansas to continue it's SEC run, and Washington will beat UCLA to take a not-co-clear lead in the Pac10. I'm not going to touch FSU-Miami or Fla-Auburn with a 10-foot pole ... so don't even ask why I think FSU and Florida both win.

Hey Matt the Medic...that sort of reminds me of a case we studied recently in my Torts class. Basically a guy had crashed his car into a concrete embankment and killed himself and his female friend in the passenger seat. The family of the female friend was suing the estate of the driver. According to the background facts of the case, the cops who arrived on the scene found "the male driver with his pants undone, and the female friend lying across his lap". Hmmm, now how exactly did THAT accident occur, eh?

i like West--they have good kolaches there--k, back to greek
