2017 ELITE Saturday Madness!!

First off, congratulations to the Florida Gators and Bucky Badger for giving us our first truly epic game, where both teams fought like scalded dogs and nobody derped away the ending.  Florida just made the last unbelievable clutch, dagger play.

#11W Xavier v. #1W Gonzaga (6:09, TBS)

A friend of mine told me that the Jesuits were like the Marines of the Catholic church.  Well then, ooh-rah X!!  I recall talk about the Zags joining the “Catholic Seven” when the Big East re-formed in the wake of mass defections to the ACC. But ultimately, they stayed West, and slightly less geographically misfit Creigh-Creigh became side #10, joining #s 8 and 9 Xavier and Butler.  Anyway, this will be a fascinating matchup on many levels.  Really looking forward to it.

#3MW Oregon v. #1MW Kansas (8:49, TBS)

One of my hazy thoughts derived from this tourney is that I have vastly underestimated Dana Altman’s coaching chops.  He will rise even higher in my estimation if he can get the Ducks (and their retina-scalding unis) past this one.  Kansas, as always, can get right fucked.

See everyone tonight!

So, apparently WWE has a web series now starring the current roster as a goofy as fuck southern territory show. Good shit.

My reply got eaten, but anyway my weekend is shit so far. I spent 6 hours or so, maybe 7+, working on a stupid 500-piece puzzle on not even completing it. I edited a wikia article this morning for almost 3 hours. I did leave the house, but JFC. This is sad.

There other day, I discovered that there is a local LaRouche group here in Roanoke…

comment image

LaRouche has to be the single most fascinating political group/cult/youtube account in the US. I’m almost thinking about just trying to join just to see first hand how crazy they are…but then I start getting nervous and puss out.

Unsurprised

Before 2015, I’d have put the overlapping circle of LaRouche supporters and InfoWars listeners as a perfect circle. Now, all the weirdos vote Republican. Tough times for Ol’ Lyndon.

JustStopDude

The group is just utterly fascinating because they have shifted back and forth across the political spectrum so much.

Near as I can tell, his whole thing is that all of world history is a fight between Platonists, who believe in absolute truth, and Aristotelians, who rely on empirical data. All the evil in the world is from Aristotle logic being dominated and LaRouche should just be in charge.

I think he is still calling for using nuclear bombs to make water reservoirs in the desert.

WCS

One the hand, I’d wish we’d have gotten the chance to hang out. On the other, I’d rather light my pubes on fire than go back to Roanoke.

Blues BBQ still kicks ass, though.

JustStopDude

I got to admit, Roanoke has completely grown on me. The down town is fully occupied which is fucking rare as fuck for most places I go for work. The restaurant scene is fantastic for a city of this size. There is something like 3 breweries and a distillery moving into the city in the next 3 or 4 years.

Now if the fucking city could learn how to handle snow removal…

This was delightful.

I have done absolutely nothing this weekend.

I mean I signed off a bunch of documents on the house I am trying to move into, but other than that..I have just snoozed on the couch.

Most of my usual work drinking buddies are deployed overseas. I tend not to like hanging out with the townies here. I made the mistake of starting to prep to move (I am suppose to be closing on April 7th) so I already drank up my stock of booze. I don’t really see the point of paying someone to move booze bottles that are half empty, nor do I feel like dealing with the judgement.

Mr. Ayo

You should buy several new booze bottles to not pay someone to move.

JustStopDude

My folks live 5 hours away. So my mother is prying into the whole home buying thing. I finally lamented into giving her the info so she could look the place up online.

So she likes it but then she starts going on and on that I need to get an interior decorator and that they (my parents) will find stuff for my place…my parents who are hoarders.

I tell her I will get an interior decorator (I never will) when the financial thing on my end gets stable but under no uncertain terms are they to get me anything for the house.

“Well you need to tell me and your father when you are moving so we can come down and help”

“I’m getting movers ma”

“JSD! Why would you waste your money. We can help you move”

“Let’s see Ma…I got spina bifida…Dad has a fused neck from surgery…and you got MS. So who exactly is moving the freaking couch?!?”

Bloody Lethal

Beer is easy to drink all of it and dispose of the evidence.

Mr. Ayo

Ok, wow. Double the dosage.

Fortunately, my parents haven’t nearly the same interest in myself.

JustStopDude

Well my folks are retired now. The old man, I think its been maybe a year now. Its been a tough adjustment for him. My mother has always been…not necessarily nosy, but usually a wealth of opinions of all things.

WCS

I haven’t checked my bracket since I filled it out. I do know I had UCLA beating Arizona in the championship game, so….

That’ll teach them to clean up after themselves.

JustStopDude

My dad had her and Ric Flair’s son insured for a while. I got to meet her once…well not really. I mean I was visiting my folks in Baltimore and they showed up to make a payment or something.

She seemed pretty nice.

Most of Kansas’ team looks like they just got finished listening to a Maxell cassette tape.

I’m trying to decide what to do since I’m not watching TV. I could watch it in the gym, and I should walk some more anyway. But I don’t really care.

Bloody Lethal

Can’t find any HELP! on Youtube anymore…

Wow, this looks like NC State vs BC so far.

theeWeeBabySeamus

FWIW, they’d have beat this piss out of either of these two so far. Hell we could have played to draw so far ourselves….this is fugly.

Full disclosure I hate Oregon sports so I am rooting for Kansas.

Unsurprised

Yeah, Oregon sports is bad. There’s no reason to root for Kansas.

Cleveland wins a championship, Drumpf wins the Presidency, Cubs win the World Series, and Gonzaga’s going to the Final Four. Glad I just bought more gin and bourbon.

More or less.

I would say pending a second half, but usually these Zags beat up their opponent in the second half.

I think so too. Xavier got in as a bubble and has been playing the “no one believe in us” card. It looks like Midnight is here for Cinderella.

Bloody Lethal

Somewhere St. Aloysius is already counting St. Francis’ money. That’s one of the Jesuit rules you see, no welching.
