I was showing the Mascot this video and we agreed that it would be awesome to make a game as good as this.
Thanks to one of my good college friends (who occasionally uses the moniker “Construction Bob”) for introducing me to this fine game.
“Remember kids, don’t try this at home even if you have a bottomless pit in your backyard”!
Never mind the garbage that comes out of American radio. The North Koreans have cooked up some serious hit songs recently (iTunes doesn’t seem to have them yet for some reason). The only thing is that’s it’s tough deciding which one’s the best…
Loading …The Mascot has gone over to BDK. Or taken him hostage. Or something. Guess I should have given him that raise.
Good riddance; I don’t need him.
The legendary Blue Devil Knight is leaving the blogosphere really soon, at least for now. (”Legendary” should be understood in context, in as much as it is possible to call a personal chess blog a legend.) I was unfortunate to have caught him only during the last third of his time on the net. He held the reins of the Secretary Knight for some time and turned his site into a nexus of chess information and improvement for the Knights Errant and passing patzers alike.
The website wasn’t without controversy. Critics universally panned his decision to get rid of his spinning head.
BDK, we at LEP wish you the best in your future endeavors.
And the black glove was a nice touch.
Congratulations to Tom of The Everyday Christian for winning the March Madness bracket this year! It came down to the last game, and Memphis simply couldn’t hit any free throws to put Kansas away.
And for your prize…the Mascot did offer a custom T-shirt or mug. Or since it is a college basketball contest, you could get a UT T-shirt or something…just e-mail me and let me know.
Of course to receive it means you’ll have to give me an actual address…which I could sell to a third-party! Bwa ha ha ha!
…are looking to improve on their 13-59 record. They currently trail the Boston Celtics 22-4.
The good news is the same as last time: they will probably score more points before the game is over.
I’m getting a little resentful that the about page still says I only do 2% of the work around here. It’s been days since Mr. Boss gave you a decent post. It’s almost like he was hoping some of you readers would wish him happy birthday, then just took off. Looks like it’s up to me to save the site…
So get this: I was eating lunch last Sunday, trying to decide on my college basketball bracket. I stared into my bowl of Chunky Soup, bending my massive intellect into the task at hand. All of a sudden, I received a flash of inspiration…the chunks of food formed an image of the Virgin Mary! (See picture, below.)
It was obvious: Mount Saint Mary would upset North Carolina. All the other picks just kinda fell into place after that.
Mount Saint Mary ended up losing by 39.
I sold the bowl of soup on eBay for $17. Images of Mary in random objects sure don’t go for as much as they used to.
Celebrating St. Patty’s Day tonight? Here’s my special recipe for green beer:
Mascot Green Beer
Ingredients:
Beer
Green Food Coloring
Recipe:
1. Pour beer in drinking receptacle.
2. Put several drops of food coloring in beer.
3. Mix it around with a spoon. A blender is overkill.
4. Get wasted.
A tournament of a different type. March Madness is upon us, and everyone’s filling out brackets trying to win stuff. Liquid Egg Product recognizes the thirst of the people to brag about their bracketology skills, so is offering a contest of its own via ESPN’s Tournament Challenge.
The Mascot has generously offered to give the winner a Mascot T-shirt or mug! The winner can customize the shirt or mug by selecting any Mascot picture (he’ll even take a custom photo if it’s not too difficult a request) and the winner’s favorite quote from the not-so-wise quotes.
Next year, I hope he offers a prize that someone will actually want.
To join:
1. Register on ESPN.com at the Tournament Challenge. (Uncheck the “offers” so you don’t get a bunch of unwanted e-mail.)
2. Join the Liquid Egg Product group.
3. Create a bracket.
That’s it! Imagine the joy you’ll experience by owning a shirt that has this, this, or even this on the front.
are losing 28-6 to the Dallas Mavericks. They may have scored some more points since then.
Just because I happened to be thinking of it: the Spanish Inquisition.
