ANIMOSITY When you rearrange the letters: IS NO AMITY

A DECIMAL POINT When you rearrange the letters: I’M A DOT IN PLACE

Poor Malone

· Uncategorized

I DO feel bad for Karl Malone.

From Reuters:

Malone agreed a $17.5 million pay cut in the off-season to take a chance at winning his first NBA championship by signing with the Lakers. His dream faded away Tuesday, sitting on the bench in his street clothes as the Detroit Pistons destroyed the Lakers 100-87 in Game Five to take the NBA finals 4-1.

Deeeee-troit Basketball!!!!

WOOOOO HOOOOO!!! They did it! They won the NBA Championship!!! They PUT IT to the Lakers…BAD!!!

The Detroit Pistons won the series, 4 games to 1! Good job this year, Dumars, Brown, Davidson, and the entire Pistons organization!

I enjoyed tonight’s game with my loving wife, Michelle, and my brother, Dino, and future sister-in-law, Danielle. It was fun to have them over!

Most functional word in the world

· Uncategorized

From my friend, Tortilla Man:

Well, it’s shit… that’s right, shit!

Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.

Consider:
You can get shit-faced, Be shit out of luck, or have shit for brains.

With a little effort, you can get your shit together,
Find a place for your shit, Or be asked to shit or get off the pot.

You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit.

Some people know their shit, while others can’t tell the difference between Shit and Shine-ola.

There are lucky shits, dumb shits, crazy shits,

There is bull shit, horse shit and chicken shit.

You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.

Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty.

Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit.

You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit.

You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shits creek without a paddle.

Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it’s the basic building block of the English language.

And remember, once you know your shit, you don’t need to know anything else!

You could pass this along, if you give a shit. Or not do so, if you don’t give a shit!

Just wanted you to know that I do Give A Shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit.

But if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit head……..

Well, shit happens!

3-1 series lead for the Pistons!!!

· Uncategorized

Another ass-kicking last night… well, not an ass kicking, like on Tuesday night, but it was 8 points. It was tied at the end of 3 quarters, the Pistons continued to shred the Lakers. It’s so fun to watch.

Game 5 is tomorrow night, in Detroit. They could win it all, at home!!!

Ben Wallace

· Uncategorized

I was reading Mitch Albom’s story about Ben Wallace, and came across this and thought I’d share it with you.

The other day, I asked Dumars if he were worried that the Pistons, following their Game 1 victory, might be out partying late in Los Angeles. After all, they were a Midwest team staying in a Beverly Hills hotel.

Dumars laughed. “When I got back to the hotel, I saw Ben Wallace pushing a stroller down the street, and he and his wife were trying to find something to eat. I knew right then I didn’t have to worry.”

I think that’s awesome! You’d actually think the Pistons, or any group of guys, would be out, enjoying the weather, enjoying LA, etc. How cool.

Upgraded to 3.0

· Uncategorized

I have upgraded the Movable Type engine from version 2.64 to 3.0D. I’m pretty excited about it. However, in doing so, I had to disable the breadcrumb navigation from within this system. When someone from their support forum writes me back, I’ll try and get that navigation element (breadcrumbs) back in.

I do see that they added the formatting buttons in browsers other than Internet Explorer (I use Mozilla’s Firefox).

Yippee!!!

The Pistons won at home, in a HUGE way! They crushed the Lakers, 88-68. Unfortunately, in my moving to the bedroom for the 4th quarter, I fell asleep with about 6 minutes to go!!! Damn it! I woke up to the post-game interviews…and barely! Oh well. I know that next time, I need to stay out in the living room, where the game is in HD, anyway! Anyway, I’m so glad we have a 2-1 advantage with 2 more home games to go! Go Pistons!
