This guy really hits the nail on the head. And since I am beyond buried in tax season, and have had all my creativeness sucked right out of my brain, a little tidbit for you.

This will be really funny to some of you, and for those who it is not funny to, please go to church sometime. Then this stuff will also make you laugh.

Please notice I made no mention of my incorrect prediction of the Kansas NCAA win. Let's face it pics of squids are funnier.

Coach Calipari

Kansas v Memphis

In spite of Digger (boogers?) Phelps insistence that Memphis' inability to hit a free throw would remove them from the NCAA tourney. They made it into the final four, and are now in the championship game. While Calipari defended his boys by saying "they would hit the free throws when it mattered."

I thought he was full of crap. But while they have hit a paltry .613 for the season, they hit 20 of 23 against UCLA. Pretty salty.

And while they have a coach whose name sounds more like an appetizer at Macaroni Grill, you have to respect a guy who has gotten what he has out of a team from a second tier conference. Get your scissors ready Memphis.

Gratitude...

Well, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself last night and this morning. My Gentlemen Bears were ousted in the first round of the NCAA Tourney. I spent 3 hours in the dentist chair yesterday afternoon, (lovely way to spend a Friday afternoon) and my mouth is extremely sore.

Then today, I found out a couple things that have helped me have a little perspective.

A friend was riding his kids scooter last night. He now has a broken arm related to said scooter adventure.

But the worst I just found out. My daughter's best friend has a dad that is really into motorcycles. Last night while riding, he was hit by a car and had his leg severed. As in crushed, and fell off. Think lots of blood here. If you are the praying type, say a few for him please.

As for me, I have nothing to whine about. A couple Alleve will cure all my ills today, and I have no casts, and all my limbs. I am thankful.

Happy Easter!!!

Sic'em Gentleman Bears!!!

Lace Dunn spoils Sand Pirate "Senior Day"

Well Lace Dunn cooked up 38 points against the Sand Pirates Saturday. He was a man on a mission. And although he failed to meet my prediction for his point scoring, he was a man possessed. In scoring 38, he broke a Baylor freshman single game scoring record, and poised himself for a great NCAA tourney. Its the first time a Baylor player has scored that many points since 1988. Yes, I said 1988.





I had predicted that he would break the career points record in a single season. He did not. Although, technically he broke his own career record. Yeah me!

Look for the Bears to make it to the NCAA tourney on selection day.

Roll the Dice!!

Happy Tuesday!

RIP - Larry Norman

The Great Larry Norman

UPDATE - Yesterday while reading an interview Larry did, I read where he wrote the song, Why Don't you Look Into Jesus about Janis Joplin. His group People were performing a concert, and Janis was standing behind the curtain with a bottle of Southern Comfort in one hand, and a paper cup in the other. He was moved to write the song:

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup,
You drown your sorrows till you can't get up,
Take a look at what you've done to yourself,
Why don't you put the bottle back on she shelf,
Yellow fingers from your cigarettes,
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats,
Why don't you look into Jesus, He's got the answer

Don't go into shock, I am posting two days in a row. It is with great sadness that I must report one of my heroes, The Father of Christian Rock Music, Larry Norman has passed from this earth. His funeral was March 1st near Salem, Oregon.



When I was a radical Christian teenager, I loved Larry's no-compromise lyrics, and rockin' out tunes. I had never heard anything like it. From Why Should the Devil Have all the Good Music, to I Wish We'd All Been Ready he made music that sounded sort of like the Stones and Bob Dylan had a collision. Perhaps my favorite song, the Rock That Doesn't Roll depicted all that was great about Larry Norman's music. Larry was the originator of the "one way" hand signal, the index finger pointing upwards. The guy was a geniune pioneer.


He ended his life much like he lived it. He was writing music and trying to make an impact right up to the end. He also was pretty much shunning the spotlight, and music companies right to the end. In spite of his refusal to follow along with the main stream music companies, his ministry grew.

Excerpt from an interview with Contemporary Christian Music Magazine (CCM):

CCM: "What then was your view of the church?"

NORMAN: "I had no time for the church matrix. I didn’t think you needed a majority vote from the elders on the board to undertake a musical ministry. The churches weren’t going to accept me looking like a street person with long hair and faded jeans. They did not like the music I was recording. And I had no desire to preach the gospel to the converted. I wanted to be out on the sidewalk preaching to the runaways and the druggies and the prostitutes.

When non-believers used to criticize the church I would say, "Yeah, I agree and I think that God is disappointed in what people have done with Jesus." And then I would go on to talk about what Christ personally said and did. It worked. I wasn’t there to argue against people’s beliefs. I was there to talk about what God’s truth is."



Larry wrote a post at his blog shortly before his death. In that post he stated, I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God's hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home. He was gracious in life, even at the end. This is a guy who gets it.


You can read more about Larry at his website, http://www.larrynorman.com/ (that there is a link).


You can also order his music there. I would suggest you start with In Another Land or The Best of Larry Norman, Vol I


Rest in Peace Larry, you will be missed.

Baylor Softball Rocks!!

Baylor women score again!

Baylor Softball is off to another great start, and my girls could not be happier. After losing 3 great players, maybe the best pitcher the team has ever had in the great Lisa Ferguson, some felt they might have a down year. But Coach Moore has the team on a roll with some very young players. This in spite of losing Ashley Monceaux, a College World Series all-tourney player, and Chelsi Lake.



Britney Turner has really come up big this year, showing shades of the greatness we all suspected. And Ms. Isham looks like she will be a force to be dealt with this season. Of course, Shortridge should continue to be power on the mound, as well as the plate. There are several new players that appear to be contributing already.



Jordan Daniels hit .643 (9-for-14) with two doubles, three home runs and seven RBI in Baylor's four games this past weekend. We may have to start calling her "Hammer" if she keeps spanking the ball like she is. Congrats on her Big 12 Player of the Week honors.



Sic' Em Lady Bears!!

Smart Ass 8th Grader

Hero of Child Molestors Everywhere

For a 13 year old, this is major genius. He put up a myspace page about his principal, with some, lets say unflattering rhetoric. So the school suspends the kid, and now his parents are sueing.



According to the Myspace page (now deleted), the principal enjoys "giving students anal... and jacking off in my office..." In addition, the principal's heroes are Michael Jackson, Hitler and Sadaam Hussein and his "purple penetrator." And, he loves "gay movies." His other interest include, uh, copulating with the assistant principal.

Jackson with his next victim

Hillary Clinton Showing how Deep Her Allegiance Runs, YYEEEESSSS!!!!

Weeeellllllll. It was only a matter of time before the truth came out. Based on her views on gun control and other issues, I suspected Billary Clinton had a secret agenda. In fact, many have accused her of having a secret agenda of bringing America to its knees. No matter what your opinion of her, I think everyone agrees on the fact that she is a major crazy bitch.

Below, see Billary pledging her allegiance to Hitler. Her gun control policies fit right in with his. You know its bad when the Klan decides to support Obama so Hillary doesn't make it to the White House. They usually like the whole Hitler, Arian thing - so you know she is bad news.

Hillary giving Hitler Salute

Meanwhile, a half a world away, Marines pray for one of their own. And that Billary does not make it to the White House. Reality. These guys are dieing to protect the very laws and rights that Billary wants to take away from every American.

Hope you enjoyed your freedom today

I predict Billary gets elected when this happens:

Hell Freezes Over

Turdpolishers.Com Coo Performed

Really horrible pic of my screenshot, sorry I will try for a better one.

One of my bad habits is to frequent Turdpolishers.com, aka, BaylorFans.com.

Its an eclectic group of neer-do-wells and kool-aid drinking fans of the B. They get in pissing matches frequently, and generally seek to become the most self-important, intolerant person on the board. While there are exceptions, such as Pale Rider, Simp13, Wooldog and a few others, this is the general rule.

Well, on a particular Saturday afternoon recently, while a B basketball game was in full swing, I logged onto the board. While my intentions were to just check it out and weigh in with my opinions, it turned ugly. Not ugly in a "I'm an internet tough-guy" kind of way. But ugly in a "there's no one else on this frickin board" kind of way.

After about 45 minutes of posting, I noticed that I had the last post on about half of every thread listed. So it began. In approximately and hour and 25 minutes I was the latest poster on EVERY thread on the board. Legends are born of this sort of thing interpeeps.

Now one might ask, how does one do this? Post at 4 am? Perhaps. Do you jam the board with mind control and overtake every possible poster? Perhaps. But in my case, I just started shooting off my mouth, which I must admit, I tend to do alot of. But as you will notice in the screen shot above, (ok, you really can't see it,) it occured in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.

And a legend is born...
