For us is bad news bears (Walter Matthau)

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures...and the Dutch.

Seriously, that was a bit of a whooping last night. The offense was pretty solid, but defensively it seemed like they could do whatever they wanted. A lot of that is due to the fact that they are an excellent good team who has many different throws in their arsenal. Any ideas on what we could have done differently? Do you think the change to a straight-up mark helped?

Alcohol or Boxing?

Tonight's game is against Liver Punch, who we might also know as Tundra. We beat them pretty badly a few weeks ago, and I'm sure they aren't too happy about it.

Watch out for those low left hooks!

SNOWPLATE!

Of course, a Liver Punch could also refer to what's going to happen this weekend in Sudbury. The Hounds on Ice are looking to repeat as champions, despite all of the damage we'll be doing to our livers on Friday and Saturday...more to come on that...

Not at all like the Amber Fey

For tonight's game, we are playing against Green Fey again. After tying them the last time, a win would be nice.

I had no idea what a Green Fey was, so I did a little search. I thought it might have something with 30 Rock and Tina Fey, but what I found was much more complicated. And lame.

Apparently this is from an on-line, post-apocolyptic role-playing game called Gainar. "In a world where darkness looms, and the shambling dead outnumber the living, a handful of heroes can rekindle the dying light." Who do they think they are...Dylan Thomas?

I hear the cleats in this game are awesome though...

So, what's a Fey?

"Base Movement of 9//, Base AC of 9, non-natives to Gaianar, full flight capability, able to assume an ghostly, energy form for limited periods, able to fire wind blasts at foes, motion-vector detection, ultra-vision, very vulnerable to iron, suffers an experience penalty."

But that's not all. Each different colour Fey is different (duh!):

"Unlike the amber Fey, insanity made the green Fey nasty. They hate all ground-bound races on Gaianar, and will seek to destroy any Human Priest, regardless of their faith. Moreover, they view the Dwarven race as a non-sentient animal race and use them for slave labour and/or food. Green Fey never become Priests of any kind, but instead are Thieves, fighters of all sorts, and hired assassins. Green Fey are always Satanic, and have forsworn supernatural practices to the point that they now have a 25% resistance to all spiritual powers."

Like Towelie, I have no idea what's going on. But I guess we have to be mindful of these full-flight capable, insane, satanic aliens of Gaianar, whatever the hell that means.

[Of course, I'm sure Gaianar players would be like "What the fuck is Ultimate?" if asked, so who am I to judge?]

Why so tired?

I was going to do a complete breakdown of last night's victory, but not anymore since I was distracted by this little bit of awesomeness:

I'll never look at balloon animals the same way...

Crank dat

Since we're playing Energy tonight at 10:00, I am reminded of a movie that I recently stumbled upon a few weeks ago: Crank. It's about a guy who has been poisoned, and the only way he can stay alive is to keep his adrenaline flowing. Basically, he has to keep running around doing badass things or else he dies.

This movie pretty much has everything on my personal checklist for awesome movies:

- Boobies? Check. (Christian and Joel, I know this is important to you too)
- Dude from the Transporter, doing Transporter-like things? Check.
- Guy gets his hand cut clean off? Check.
- Lots of guns and car chases? Check.
- Couple having sex in the middle of Chinatown? Check.

All in all, an energy-filled 90 minutes...until he dies. Shit! Did I just ruin it?

I have nothing more to add

Thanks to Christian for finding this at Fuck You, Penguin (this is so much easier than trying to be creative myself):

Monkey Overkill


Monkey, I've got something to say, and it's about you biting that bar, and it's not going to be pretty.

You know, Monkey, if you had just sat there, like a normal monkey, you would have been cute enough. Hell, you could have even fallen on your back and put all of your arms and legs up in the air, and I would have been fine with it. But biting that bar? Fuck you. Just. Fuck. You.


So yeah, fuck you Spider Monkey...you're going down tonight. At 11pm at BMO.
