Havlicek stole the pillow
 So what if I only watch sports during playoffs? It's better than when I was younger, when the type of people who played sports were the type of people I avoided, along with people who drank. Now my life has changed, and I actively distrust people who don't drink.
Here is Harrison after the Celtics' 131 to 92 rout of the Lakers. The kid's exhausted.
I don't know what to do with my free time now that the Finals and Battlestar Galactica are over. I think I'll have to replace that reading lamp I broke with a golf club when I was drunk.

Big Brown to help decide NBA Finals
 Because we are the same height, people often mistake me for Kobe Bryant. I have decided that I will root for the Lakers when they are in town and for the Celtics when they are at the Garden; this is the only way to keep from going nuts, and this means that the Celtics will win it in Boston.
I found the following poem scrawled on the subway wall:
I managed a frown when Big Brown let me down
Coming in very last place
That Seattle Slew was the last of the few
To've won every Triple Crown race
When Barbaro died I felt nothing inside
I erected no shrine to Eight Belles
I'm open for bets that they're doing their next
Mile and a quarter in Hell
And I have no regrets that, in three brutal sets
Federer got stomped in the clay
We hoi polloi find it hard to enjoy
Sports with a dress code to play
But in the case of Celtics v. Lakers
My loyalties go either way
Would Big Brown prefer that the banner hang down
Over rapists or over parquet?

Sixth inning and the Dodgers are winning
I'd hate to see where the Dodger faithful would be if it wasn't going their way.
In the fourth inning the screens show you what you would have seen if you'd arrived on time, and in the seventh inning, after everyone has more or less left, the screens say "The L.A. Dodgers (and the Cincinnati Reds) thank you for your support." But you can feel the sarcasm.

Hard questions for the guy at Albertson's
 "Did you build this display?"
"No, the guys from Pepsi did."
"How long did it take, and when did they do it?"
"It took three guys about four hours to do it last Friday."
"Do you think the Patriots will be harried and hindered to the point that the brilliance of the last 18 games will be obscured for most of the Superbowl, save for some clearheadedness in the fourth quarter, and the dream no one thought to have just one year ago will be dashed by a team from, of all hated places, New York?"
