Championship Week and the Holidays

Hi Everyone! I've noticed I have quite a few visitors from a country that allegedly has the highest number of identity thieves. A word of advice to those peeps if they are trying to become T2, don't bother. My bank account is small, I need plastic surgery, and I have a sense of humor that is not for many. There are many cooler, wealthier people to become so aim higher.

So instead of doing the song and dance on Thanksgiving that many do, we headed to the Golden Corral to see this alleged 8th wonder of the world known as the "Chocolate Fountain." The kids were disappointed as they thought it was going to be more like Niagara Falls. However, the one thing about the Corral is that choices are bountiful and I never worry about the kids making a mess. I like anyplace that presents over 30 (gasp) dessert options.

Speaking of the holidays, we had internet woes earlier this week so I worked at the workspace for urban, wannabe hipsters. That's right. Yes, I walked up and ordered a pretentious venti, non fat, no whip, 1/2 pump salted caramel mocha at Starbucks. The one thing I have noticed as of late is that the music is so loud at Starbucks that everyone just yells at each other. No wonder most people kept their ear muffs on all day.  To make matters worse, I can only take so many Christmas songs by Karen Carpenter and Michael Buble before I want to hole up in a dark room with Ben & Jerry.

It's the week for many inaugural (albeit terrible looking) championship games, so  let's get it started:

Oregon vs UCLA-OMG! When I heard UCLA was in a championship game of any kind I immediately googled to see if there was an error. They are absolutely terrible, but when you hear Ducks versus Bears you immediately think grizzly right? This game will be a combination of  grizzly and ghastly. Quack Attack 48-7

VA Tech vs Clemson- Allegedly, they can't pay peeps to go to the ACC Championship game, so expect to see a crowd of 10 or so there. Clemson was dismantled by NC State a few weeks and ago. VA Tech is the exact same team each year. Good, but not that good. I like Beamer's teamer 28-20.

Syracuse vs Pitt-Too bad this isn't hoops. The Big East should not be in any kind of BCS game. It would be more fun to watch me as QB in a game provided I could see over the line. This game will be boring, painful, and terrible. Those are the highlights. The last time Syracuse was good a guy named McNabb was QB. It's anyone's guess, so I like Syracuse in an upset.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State-Both teams choked as expected but some say OSU should be in the BCS game if they win out. Whatevs! They lost to Iowa State. I've been to that campus and I'm sure "Children of the Corn the Revenge" was shot in Aimes. Stoops and company will swoop in with a squeaker in a high scoring game. The O-48 The other OSU-45

LSU vs UGA- UGA overcame 2 early losses to end up winning the SEC East. No offense to anyone, but I don't think the SEC East is particularly loaded. Again, an SEC East Championship is an SEC East Championship...so it's a bonus. I expect this game to be close for a half before the 2nd half looks like an episode of "Fatal Attractions" on Animal Planet. Russ is cute isn't he? By midway thru the 3rd quarter,you will want the camera on him versus the field. I could certainly be wrong, but I just don't think the Dawgs can win. (maybe reverse psychology will work here?) LSU-38 UGA-21

In the words of those iconic songsters Tag Team, "Whoop! There it is!"

*****I had a really funny thought for paragraph 3, but I skipped it. Alas, I don't want to offend anyone. Sigh.***
