Pulled one of the bikes down off the rack and went rideabout for 18 miles. Pretty slow but it's been a bunch of months off and I'm getting old so I am going with ....

Facebook reminded me that three years ago today I was using the Toro to blow snow off my driveway. :rolleyes:

There's a Buffy TV episode where a cat is found dead and buried, but because of "reasons" it comes back to life. This cat reminds me of what the zombie cat looked like.
Have you ever seen the movie "Madhouse" w/Kirstie Alley & John Larroquette? There is a cat that is buried several times. Damn thing keeps reviving! :D
 
Enjoyed the absolutely beautiful weather to spend outside with the family and remembered how much the sun can zap your energy so I also got to enjoy a nice nap. #CoolStoryBro
 
Do you suppose these announcers could be any more in the bag for Gonzaga?
I can't stand Bill Rafferty. He thinks he's being cool with his "Onions!" "a little kiss" or his opening line of every game where he says they are coming out in "man to man" whether they are or not. Of course he has to say that in a way that makes it sound like he's extremely constipated.

Is that what he's saying? Always thought it was just a random, unintelligible noise.

To add, I understand announcers like to have their set of catchphrases to set themselves apart from other announcers, but his are just bad. 'Onions', 'a little kiss', 'get those puppies organized'. What do those even mean? If you asked someone who rarely watches basketball what those phrases mean in relation to the game, they'd have no clue. I barely have a clue and I watch a ton of basketball.

Pretty sure he said something about lingerie too.

Is he the one that does the "monster truck" voice? If I heard him say TImme just one more time.........

Lew has a theory. Announcers make us dislike certain players because they fawn over them so much. I had Gonzaga in my bracket, but I haven't been rooting for them since the Sweet 16 because I get sick of the way the announcers drool when calling their games. Yeah, they're good. But they damn near got taken down by UCLA.
