Good Riddance 2008! Don't Ever Come Again.

No Happy Hour For The Rest of the Year - Spend Some Time With the People You Love, For Cryin' Out Loud!

The schedule for this week is generally crapped up what with Christmas pageants, white elephant parties, shopping for the mistress(es), etc. occupying your time.

So it is hard to get everybody together for drinking and debauchery, at least in a group setting. And next week is supposedly somebody's birthday (even though it really happened in June) and the following Thursday is when we start a new orbit around the nearest star, so those aren't good dates. The inescapable conclusion is that we are all out of MOTMs for this year. Let's all go have a nice holiday and reconvene sometime in January.

However, if any of you want to grab an ad hoc drinky-poo, hit me back and we can hook up (whatever that means these days).

Anyway, if you love someone (or just want to get in their pants) give them a hug and tell them how you feel. You may not get another chance. Really. An acquaintance of mine (younger than me) died in his sleep last night. This is not the first that I have known. Anyway, don't wait. Take the advice from a pathetic old man in a bar.

And, to get you in the Christmas spirit, once again I leave you with best redneck Christmas song ever.

Peace on Earth. Out.

REMEMBER: MOTM - Tonight - 5 pm - Peche

Come one, come all. Step right up. For only one dime, one thin dime, one-tenth of a dollar, see the greatest show on earth. See Jo Jo the dog faced boy, tightest skin on any man in captivity, etc. etc. Back up, boy. Quit throwing dust in Jo Jo's eyes.

None of you are old enough to remember anything like that, but your attendance is still requested at Peche (208 W. 4th) tonight to witness the marvel that is the MOTM. All your friends will be there (if you don't have many friends), so you should be too.

See you there.

Peace. Out.

MOTM Tomorrow - Peche - Be There or Be Square

Prepare your minds for the seasonal magic that is MOTM. Tomorrow night at Peche on 4th between Colorado and Lavaca. It will be epic. Festivities convene at a little after 5 in the pm.
Believe me, you do not want to watch TMZ on Friday and wish you had been at this MOTM. Just saying.

There will be chicks and guns and firetrucks. (gratuitous Bachelor Party reference. Back before Tom Hanks was somebody)

Topics for discussion will include:

• How much Longhorn fans love the BCS
• Remind me again. Who exactly is Mike Leach? (J-Spot, this question is now appropriate)
• Is it appropriate to give sexual favors as gifts during the holiday season? And how exactly do you wrap such a thing?
• What is a caganer and what does it have to do with Baby Jesus?
  

Other things to contemplate:

On Comet and Cupid and Donder and Flasher:

How difficult would the trip down the chimney be for these?

Does this help?

And for those of you that appreciate this kind of thing:

Peace. Out.

MOTM - Thursday, December 4, 2008 - Peche

OK, we have missed a couple of weeks what with holidays and all. So, let's convene this Thursday at a little after 5 pm at a new spot at 208 W. 4th called Peche. I don't know how to pronounce it either. For the old timers in the group, it is in the space that used to house Malaga (I couldn't pronounce that either), which is a couple of doors to the east of Fado on 4th. It's nicely remodeled and has some unusual drinks, including some kinds of absinthe. Let's try it out.

I hope each of you had a nice holiday and are now ready to get in some serious happy-houring before the next holiday stretch.
Here's some topics for discussion: Someone is now making perfumes that smell like universities. This particular one is supposed to smell like Penn State. I'm sure they will make one for Big 12 teams also like Texas and Oklahoma. The one from Oklahoma will smell exactly 0.0128 better (if evaluated by a computer).
Here's a gift idea for that person who has everything (including a couple of keys of chronic). One size fits all.
Peace. Out.

Wishing Everybody a Great Thanksgiving or Whatever Holiday You Celebrate.

Here's wishing everybody a wonderful 4 day weekend. Rest up, there's only a few weeks to the next holiday.

I wish I had something humorous to mark this holiday with, but this will have to do.

Peace. Out.

Why Is It That We Drive On A Parkway, Park On A Driveway and Go To the Fair To Be Cheated?

The title has nothing to do with this post, I just like writing it.

As you might have suspected, there is no MOTM today, this being the alternate Thursday and all. Oh and there might be a problem next Thursday, there being a local holiday or something. So, the next MOTM will be attempted on Thursday, December 4. Spend the next two weeks getting your mind right for it. You wouldn't want to be caught unprepared.

Random thoughts: The one year anniversary of this blog will occur November 30. Only ten shopping days left. Candlesticks always make a nice gift (off hand Bull Durham reference).

Some news stories are just too good to avoid. Read this one and then see what springs to mind: Prego? Thick and Meaty? And what about the poor Jack Russell? And he wouldn't even stop while they were pepper spraying and hitting him. That must be some good sauce!

Then there are headlines that grab your attention:

1. This one obviously escaped the editor. Question: What would you use to measure?

2. I'm thinking that if is this is a wide spread medical problem that there should be some kind of warning notice printed on those little scutters.

3. And then there were these:

And just for something for your weekend, I leave you with aerobic exercise videos:



Peace. Out.

MOTM This Thursday - November 13, 2008 - Annie's West

OK, it's the alternate Thursday again and it's time for the legions of avid followers of the MOTM life style to gather and represent (do people still say that?).
There is no special Honorary Host this week. No one volunteered. However, you know you are all special in the diminutive length bus kind of way.
Let's congregate at Annie's West, a new bar on West Sixth, just west of Opal Devine's and next to the Ranch, J. Black's, etc. at a little after 5 pm and see what happens.
Topic of conversation: Who had a better week, Barack Obama or Mike Leach? Only in Texas would that be a legitimate question.

For no discernible reason, I leave you with the following photographic representations:

Would this be prohibited by Prop 8?

D-Cups, of course!

Good fashion sense:

Nothing really to say about this:

Anybody know the history of this?

Peace. Out.

MOTM Tonight - J Black's - Dustin as Honorary Host - You do not want to tell your friends you missed this!

OK, today on All Hallows Eve eve (see Wikipedia), we will gather around the boiling caldron of witches brew at J Blacks at 5 pm to celebrate that it is an alternate Thursday.
"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble."

All the people as designated in Dustin's earlier post are going to wear the assigned costume, except that Dustin and Stephenie are doing this:

I was going to wear my John McCain costume but when I sent it to the cleaners, they couldn't get enough wrinkles in it.

See you tonight.

Peace. Out.

MOTM This Thursday - Dustin Honorary Host - This is Dustin's post

Hello from Dustin, your Honorary Host for this Thursday's MOTM.

It’s time, once again, for all (three) of us who normally come to happy hour to sit around drinking and waiting (like an unattractive, older woman on a Saturday night).

Let’s venture to J. Black’s (next to The Ranch) for happy hour on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. ish. Paul will be my guest-guest host because I can’t leave “the field” until later. As recent tradition dictates, I will purchase some drinks. I, however, will only buy drinks for people I like.

This Thursday is also the day before Halloween, so don your gay apparel and I’ll buy some drinks for anyone in costume. I guess you’ll have to be there after 6:00 ish to get your free drinks though. That being said, here are my personal costume suggestions:

Stuart, Andrew, Todd, Mike Garlow: Soldiers from 300.

Alternatively, you can go as the 2008 U.S. Men’s Swim Team. All you need is gold medals. I’ll be Mickey Mouse.

I don’t really care about anyone else’s costume choices.

Jut kidding. Kind of.

Victoria: Microsoft Software package - International Exotic Chick 3.0.
Shunit: Sexy Cop. (Dammit, one of these years, we’ll get you into a slutty outfit if it kills us.) At least, stop by.

Stephanie: Supergirl.
Claudia: Strawberry Shortcake.


Lisa: Bun-in-the-oven.

Just kidding. Lisa’s a very classy lady. This shit is not cute.

Paul: Please be a Care Bear. Or Michael Jackson. Or John McCain.


More pictures of 300 soldiers!


Goodness.

See you all at J. Black’s on Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 5:00 p.m.

Holla!

MOTM Today - Thursday October 16 - Union Park - Angel H in charge

Hey, you know you want it. It's been on your mind all day. How good it would be to feel something cool and smooth against your lips. How the very core of your body would rock to the pleasure of good drink and conversation. Social intercourse is on the tip of everybody's tongue. Make it a reality. Give in to your inner most needs and wants. MOTM needs you and you need MOTM. Let it all go and be one with your desires. Tonight. 5 pm. Union Park on Sixth.

You know you want it. You know you want it bad.

Angel H is your Honorary Host and captain for the evening. Join him and his many willing participants in an evening of revelry and bacchanalia.

Union Park could look just like this tonight if you try. The debates are over, the economy has recovered, the wars are over, peace reigns, the moon in in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

Let's make it happen.

Peace. Out.

Some good news and some bad news. First, the bad news -- due to circumstances beyond my control The Tap Room is having a "private party" this Thursday from 5-8pm and thus won't have room for our august presences (i.e., NO MOTM The Tap Room). However, all is not lost. The good news is we will still be convening this Thursday at 5pm only few blocks away at Union Park - $3 Mojitos, a deck, and some decent food. Hope to see you all there.

MOTM to be held at The Tap Room (downstairs at Six Lounge featuring $2 pints, free billiards, and decent food) this Thursday starting at 5pm. For directions and a review look here:

I don't have much in the way of witty banter. Instead, I simply invite you to stop by for a drink. Warning though, while it may be good for your heart it might shrink your brain. But does it matter? With this bunch who could tell?

Anyway, if you haven't completely lost your fortune in the stock market, come by for a drink and celebrate. If you have lost everything, come and ease your sorrows. If you're somewhere in between, drink and celebrate or commiserate over something else (e.g, that UT is ranked number 1 (for now at least), that your fantasy football team is two games out of first place, that Mist-May Treanor is out of Dancing with the Stars, that a couple in Cambodia couldn't mend their differences and had to cut their house in half, and the list goes on and on).

If you are thinking of stopping by but don't really want to drink with the people that you think might show up, invite some people that you do want to drink with and influence the current constituency. And if you don't think you have much to contribute to the discourse, try one of these conversational gems out (they may not be good for first dates, but they should get plenty of mileage at MOTM).

Finally, none of the obligatory scintillating images, but please look some up and tell us about them in great detail when you stop by.

Your honorary host, AH Jr.

MOTM - October 16- Honorary Host: Angel Herrera

OK, Dudes and Dudettes, we are in for a treat this week. Another one of the charter members and most faithful attendees has agreed to act as Honorary Host this week for MOTM. Watch this blog as Angel will revel the date, time and location of the MOTM. You won't want to miss this. Watch closely now.

No MOTM Today - Don't You Dare Go Drink!

This being the alternate Thursday (and Yom Kippur) we will not work, wear leather shoes, bathe, put on perfume or engage in sexual relations or go to happy hour. This means that most MOTM participants could comply with Jewish Yom Kippur traditions almost any day of the year regardless of their particular religion or creed.

Next week is another matter, however. Next week we will wear leather shoes but the rest is optional. Also, we will drink our brains out (short term task).

I need a volunteer to be Honorary Host for next week. I know it is a daunting task to follow the ones we have already had but someone needs to step up. All it requires is picking a place and time and doing a short blog post. I'm waiting.

Peace. Out.

MOTM - Tonight - Special Debate Edition!

Remember, MOTM occurs again tonight at the Belmont. People will arrive in the 5 pm and later time frame. You should be there.

There will be a special pre-debate round table discussion at which the participants will try to name all the Supreme Court decisions with which they disagree, all the newspapers and magazines that they read and all the foreign countries they can see from their homes. There will also be an optional break out session where the participants will discuss the effects of the proposed bail out on the price of the value menu at Whattaburger. It promises to be entertaining and informative.

The incomparable Stuart Hiserodt, Esq. will serve as the Honorary Host and debate moderator. Conventional etiquette suggests that a gift for the Honorary Host would be appropriate. Might I suggest something along these lines.

See you tonight.

Peace. Out.

It's good fall drinking weather ... let's do this!

Place: Belmont (oldie but goodie)

Time: Same Bat time (4:30 - whenever)

Channel: Same Bat Channel

From your Honorary Host: Stuart Hiserodt

Alright, here's the deal ... the Daffer project is over, I'm still coding documents, and I'm bored out of my mind! If I have to look at one more contract control sheet or search for Kirby's name in a document I'm going to go crazy! Well, the tough part about this is that I'm going to have to do it tomorrow and the next day no matter what. However, I could probably deal with it a little bit better if I had a few drinks with some friends. [Lame way to start out I know. It was either that or tell you that I had adopted some children from Africa and you should all come and welcome them to our country with some flavored vodca shots.]

Well, truth is Paul isn't getting any younger! He has come down with a terrible disease and we're not sure if he's going to make it. The disease is called I'llpayforyourdrinkitis, and apparently you get the disease from working too hard for too long a time. The doctor said it looks like he got it while working on the 6th floor at 700 Lavaca ... or from the trip to Thailand. No, I'm kidding! He's fine and we all saw how hard he worked, so we know it couldn't have been from that. [Rimshot]

Alright, alright ... I'm trying to play the sympathy card and/or bribe you to come. Truth is I'm bored, fed up with work, and miss my drinking friends! I imagine that you've got to have days like that too. You come home from work and watch the same old T.V. show and wish you did something different that day. Well, here's another chance to turn it all around. It's time to get together and knock back a couple. Remember these happy hours? We use to all get together and actually drink a few drinks and relax ... then Jill or Steph wouldn't show up the next day. Realistically, when was the last time YOU came to one of these happy hours? Maybe you made one three months ago, but thought ... I'll make it again one day. Well you and I both know that's bullshit, but I can think of 10 good reasons to go ahead and come anyway.

10. Think of this as a Daffer reunion. If you don't come you'll see people out and they'll ask, "Hey, did you go to that reunion?" Then you'll say, "Yes, and I'm pregnant now! It was the greatest night of my life and I really wish I would video taped it, so you could see how stupid you must now feel for missing it!"

9. LST (Lone Star Todd) can drink his namesake instead of Bailey's from a shoe. (Watch Old Gregg on youtube.com ... unless you have a real job then you should just watch it on your iphone ... oh, you don't have an iphone? Loser.)

8. Clovis will likely take a shot of tequila and make you pay for it! (Not really a reason to come, but you remember how fun that night was, right?)

7. Steph will be able to order her drink and have 34 lemon wedges come with it!

6. Dustin will be there ... and if your day was boring at least someone will have something cool to talk about.

5. Golden Rings!!!! (Ten is hard to come up with ... give me one)

4. Andrew and Luke will finally make an appearance. (maybe)

3. George finally has just ONE job!

2. Because Cara, Claudia, Amanda are TOO nice to not come now that they have been specifically pointed out and their presence requested.

And the number 1 reason to come on Thursday to the Daffer happy hour ...

(you give it a shot ... I did 9, okay 8, see if you can get one. I'll give the real number 1 on Wed. ... or I'll forget and just buy the first round to make up for it.)

Breaking News: MOTM Suspended During Economic Crisis!

The management of MOTM regrets to inform you that because of the grave economic crisis that has gripped America, MOTM has decided to put country first and suspend all MOTM activity, including advertisement and fund raising until next Thursday, which is the regularly scheduled MOTM anyway. Hey, we can't let a little $700 billion shortfall come between us and beer, can we? The application of alcoholic beverages to the situation is just what is required in times like these that try men's souls and hamper women's judgment.

To show the seriousness of our commitment to the ideals that made this country what it is today, we have appointed a Honorary Host Economic Czar to oversee the management of the selection of the site for the next MOTM and to determine the time that all real Americans want to start drinking. However, you should be aware that such determination by the Honorary Host Economic Czar is not subject to review by any administrative agency or court and that all decisions by the HHEC are final and unappealable (and probably unappealing, as well).

The HHEC for the next MOTM is Stuart Hiserodt. Stuart will be doing a blog post next week to let us know when, where and how we can serve our country and obtain some of the bail out money to reimburse us for our bad credit instruments that we obtained while under the influence of some of the adult beverages. Therefore, all debating and campaigning is suspended until then.

Peace. Out.

MOTM - End of Week Diversion

Good turn out last night for the MOTM hosted by Lone Star Todd. Next MOTM in a couple of weeks. Tentatively, the Honorary Host for next time is Stuart Hiserodt. I know, I know, but nobody else volunteered. See what happens when you abdicate your responsibilities.

Have a good weekend. For your late week diversion, observe what dogged determination can do.

Amazing Dog Escapes from Kennel

Peace. Out.

MOTM Today - Dammit! How many times do I have to tell you?

You know the drill. Lil Woodrow's tonight starting apx. 5:15. Most importantly, Lone Star Todd is the Honorary Host. History in the making, brah.

In honor of Lone Star Todd's confessed obsession with Hulk Hogan, little people and Sara Palin, I offer the following:

The Hogan you should really be obsessed with: the Hulkster's daughter Brooke

An advance look at Sarah Palin's inaugural gown:

A little person doing his civic duty and attacking Erik Estrada:

Erik Estrada Attacked By Little Person

And last, butt not least (clever misspelling pun intended), the good citizens of a small town in Nebraska huddle in their homes in fear of the greasy butted vandal. "We grow 'em good in those small towns."

See you there.

Peace. Out

MOTM - Thursday, September 18, 2008 - Honorary Host: Lone Star Todd

OK, our Honorary Host has spoken. The throw-down, hoe-down also known as MOTM will convene its next edition at the up-scale, elitist drinking establishment known as Lil' Woodrow's and located at 520 W 6th. The day is Thursday and the ETA is 5:15 pm CDT.

You should be there. Stories will be told and legends enhanced.

We should all commend Lone Star Todd on his very good blog post (see below). You can tell a lot about a person from their blogging habits. For example, you know that I am a blithering idiot that likes to drink a bit. Now we know that Lone Star Todd suffers from Hulkamania, midgemania and Saramania and has a man crush on everybody on 90210 but not necessarily on Surfer Dude.

These are all topics that he should be willing to discuss with the press unless the McCain campaign has instructed him not to cooperate. The only way to know is to be there. See you.

Peace. Out.

Thursday, Sept 18, 5:15 Little Woodrows

Honary Host LST checking in. I'll keep this short, sweet, and visual. Meeting as indicated above. Come ready to comment on the following:

This is for all you Hulkamaniacs (as if you didn't already know, you can join the fan club here -http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/boulevard/2559/hulkring.html):

Here is your gratuitous midget bodybuilder picture:

I do love Sarah Palin:

Remember Brandon Walsh?

I guess Matthew still isn't wearing deodorant:

Lone Star out.

Ruminations While Waiting for Ike to Hit or Get Off the Pot

Greetings from deep inside the Pathetic Old Man's bunker where we wait for the next weather disaster to have a substantial impact on HEB's bottom line. We have stocked up on bottled water, peanut butter, canned meat, Depends and tequila. Actually, that's our usual shopping list anyway. We have also fortified the doors and laid in additional ammo to protect us from wild bands of wandering Arkansans who thought there was going to be a football game here this weekend.

For your end of the week diversions, I offer the following, for no particular reason:

Wet babes in bikinis, OK, that is the reason:


Treeman's Grandmother:

A picture of my new pool table. OMG, that is so freaking literal! Like a fork lift lifting a crate of forks. My apologies to Mitch Hedberg, RIP.

And in honor of the political silly season, a picture of the next president of something:

Remember, watch this blog next week for information on the next MOTM from Lone Star Todd.

Peace. Out.

MOTM Cancelled Due to Hurrican Ike

Due to the certainty that Hurrican Ike will strike Austin between Third and Eighth Streets at exactly 6:23 pm CDT tonight with Category OMG winds, the MOTM for tonight will be postponed until all participants have a subsequent open date.

Nah, just kidding. As you know there isn't a MOTM scheduled for tonight.

However, we will have one next week and in keeping with the long standing tradition that is exactly one MOTM long, we will have a honorary host.

Next week, that dubious distinction belongs to Lone Star Todd. Watch this blog daily as Lone Star Todd will divulge the day, time and location of MOTM next week. It could be on a day other than Thursday.

That's change we can believe in.

Early Week Diversion - Slow Motion Balloon Burst

You should watch this several times to appreciate the delicate beauty of the entire process. I know I have.

MOTM Tonight - Stephenie McCoy - Honorary Hostess - Key Bar 5:30 pm

It's on tonight.  It is so on.  Key Bar on Sixth at 5:30 pm.  Stephenie will be in the house.  And the house will never be the same.  

Some things you should know about our hostess:  She came here from Lubbock, where she attended the fine institution of higher learning known as Texas Tech, both undergraduate and the Law School.  She received her J.D. in 2005.  While a Red Raider, she was a star soccer and softball player for the Red Raiders.  She proudly wore number 21 in soccer.  She lettered in soccer for Texas Tech in 1997.  She was a catcher for the Texas Tech softball team.  She was Academic All Big 12 First Team.  Fairly impressive, don't you think?

She now practices law as The McCoy Law Firm in Austin, where she specializes in family and criminal law.

She once shared a school with one of our other charter members, J-Spot in Albuquerque, NM.

Her favorite drink is Citroen Vodka with soda and a lemon twist.

We should all be there.

Peace.  Out.

Lift up your rock and come on out!!

I realize that we all have very busy, exciting and enticing day jobs, but there is always room for more fun. Paul has kept this MOTM going for a long time and I think that we should all get together and see if we can make him drink so much he pukes!! For those of you that live under a rock, or are simply scared of those of us who make the MOTM a usual practice, come out anyway....it is safe I promise!!
I think that Key Bar would a nice place to see Paul puke. Let's meet there at 5:30.
It is going to take all of us so call the person you used to sit next to...be it the rather hilarious black guy, the horse lady, Clovis ( he needs no introduction), Mike 8, Cara, Lisa and the other lost girls that no longer make appearances, the larger wage earning folk from the other room, Bev, Penny, or those people from upstairs!!!
I look forward to seeing you all and appreciate you joining me in this monumental occasion.

Best Regards,

Stephenie McCoy - Honorary Hostess 

MOTM - September 4, 2008 - Honorary Hostess - Stephenie McCoy

It's time again (tomorrow night) for MOTM. You may recall that I mentioned that I was going to request that some of you act as honorary host(ess)s. Stephenie McCoy (one of the charter members) has graciously agreed to act as such this week. In a follow up post, Stephenie will tell you when and where we are going to do it tomorrow night. Thanks, Steph.

No MOTM This Week - But You Knew That Already.

Since we have gone to the ever-other-week schedule, the response has been amazing (crickets chirping). I missed last week so I don't know if any of you actually participated. I hope you did. However, we will try this again next week (Thursday, Sept. 4). I am toying with the idea of testing your commitment to our ideals by making one of you a honorary host for each MOTM. Such honorary host wouldn't be responsible for paying for anything but would choose the site, the time, the topics for discussion, the mode of dress, etc. I am calling for volunteers for this prestigious position but don't make me start appointing people. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I do appreciate the suggestions that some of you have made for the contents of some of these posts. Sonali brought us up to date on the exploits of Tree Man. We hope he continues to improve and someday can find romance. No one deserves a woodie more than he does (badda-bing). Thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitstaff.

Lone Star Todd suggested that a good tag line or motto for this blog and MOTM would be "Great Minds Drink Alike." One small problem that LST pointed out is that this is already a service mark used by Great Divide Brewing Company. However, no one ever accused me of being original so we will appropriate this until we get the cease and desist letter from Great Divide's counsel. What would really be a good gesture on Great Divide's part would be to send us a case of their product to review rather than a haughty letter. We'll see if either is forthcoming.

Now for the usual ration of strange pictures.

In honor of the Democratic National Convention, we have Nancy Pelosi after her workout is complete:

And we have Barak Obama's feminine side:

Peace. Out.

MOTM - August 21, 208

My, how time flies! It seems like only a couple of weeks ago we were saying we should do this in a couple of weeks. So, here it is.
Let's do it at the Belmont at apx. 5 pm CDST. Come one. Come all.

Now, following up on the Olympic theme, here is a Russian pole vaulter (Yelena) in action:




Here is Yelena in two not quite as strenous activities:




And here is a Paraguan javelin thrower (I'm not making this up):




And after she has hurled her javelin:




I don't know how to explain this and it has nothing to do with the Olympics but it seems like it should be relevant to an Olympic event:




And this is Tree Man's distant cousin:

Peace. Out.

Some More Really Weird Sh*t - In The Strictest Sense of the Word

An escaping inflatable dog turd threatens a Swiss village. You can't make this sh*t up.

No MOTM this week - Next one August 21, 2008

As you will recall, there is no formal MOTM this week. Of course, we still encourage you to get your drink on (with a designated driver, of course). Also, the management of this blog is distracted by the preparation of a lawsuit against the local fantasy football league, which has misappropriated the trademark "Meeting of the Minds" for its name for the league. Settlement negotiations are proceeding and the likelihood of a favorable settlement is directly dependent on my draft including a kick ass roster of players. Otherwise, a lawsuit is imminent.

In keeping with the promise of this blog to provide weird sh*t, consider the following:

• An update on Tree Man;


• Meet Werewolf Boy;


• See the face eating tumor (warning, not for the squeamish).

For something more pleasing, observe the following lightly clothed individuals:

Amanda Beard:

Batman:

Peace. Out.
