Welcome to week 7’s Quotables. There was actually some football consumed this weekend by yours truly, and it wasn’t just the JV Disciples of BOLTMAN reaching 6-1. I willing went to a bar for Roommate Commander’s birthday request of watching the games with a large group of her friends. What I did not expect were the number of Heretics fans that I encountered among her party. I was able to remain civil during the morning games as they bumbled along. It was a stark reminder how much football didn’t seem to matter to me without a dog in the race, and had me wondering even why I cared so much before. But when that afternoon game began and became featured on every TV, I could feel myself quickly becoming unhinged. The couple seated across from me in full gear claimed to “barely” remain fans, but couldn’t even start to take the lightest of jokes about players having their bones removed and fashioned into musical instruments. I left upon the first touchdown in the second quarter, for everyone’s sake, and was more than delighted to hear of another hilarious and embarrassing loss sustained by the Spanoi. The Titans look like a mess, but they made it happen when it counted, and for that, I salute you all.

A couple of weeks ago, I committed to a community service event through work. On paper, the idea seemed great: miss four hours of the work day to go on a walk, burn some calories and raise money for charity.  Well, that day is tomorrow, and today, the Santa Ana’s made the high 93° F. Tomorrow’s event starts at 11:30, and the weather is pointing to be exactly the same. If I do not evaporate upon contact with direct sunlight, I will return to bring you fine people your RESULTS on Friday.

LET THE COMMENTING BEGIN!
