1) My aversion to basketball is well known. I'll watch it if I have to, but I'll barely pay attention, and I will throw a goddamn hissy fit if I am forced to play. But as a sports fan I have to keep up with it just a little bit so that I can have a small clue as to what's going on. That's why I was shocked (SHOCKED!) to find out the Atlanta Hawks were in the playoffs. Of course it's the East, so take it with a grain of salt, and they are playing the Celtics, the steamroller this season, but still. The Hawks are the Detroit Lions of basketball. And they are living up to their rep, getting beat by the Celts 96-77. In other basketball news, Kobe Bryant scored 49 points to lead the Lakers over the Nuggets, and the Detroit Pistons evened out their series with the Philadelphia 76ers. There, done.
2) The surviving members of rock group The Grateful Dead donated numerous papers, posters and the like to the University of California Santa Cruz, who if I am not mistaken are the banana slugs. There is no connection, I just like mentioning the Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. I await the College World Series.
3) Talk about dream job. Can you imagine getting to work at I Can Haz Cheezburger? I would love to be able to do that. In fact, I am currently working on my new website where funny captions are attributed to the thoughts of mutated frogs and wildlife without habitats. I'm really feeling the comic potential of the rainforest's deforestation.
4) If I had a nickel...
Well, that's about it. It's like Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock said: "Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets. That's a metaphor!!"
