GAMBLING BY THE NUMBER
There has never been an NBA team to come back from a 3-1 deficient...never. So I took the Warriors and got my ass handed to me.
Similarly, on Thursday, when Johnson jumped out to a slight lead, a guy wanted to bet me that he would win the US Open. The numbers told me he had one golfer; I had the rest of the field. I took the bet and lost again.
But speaking of Johnson, he is a graduate of Coastal Carolina, a small school on the coast of my state. On the same day Coastal's baseball team beat number 1 Florida in the College World Series. It was a good day to be a Chanticleer. Which is a great mascot. You might want to look it up.
I once outlined a short story about that very thing. A young African boy collected every T-shirt and cap that was sent because that team lost the championship, but he didn't know they lost. He thought they had won. He had all of them memorized and impressed his friends with his knowledge. Then as a young man he immigrated to America and found out that his whole life was a lie and he returned to Africa.

I read a news article about the most deadly lightning strike and it involved dozens of people leaning against the same chainlink fence when it was hit by lightning.

Well, summer has finally arrived here in the South.
But I remind everyone of the wonderful spring we had.

"But I only..."
"The EXACT amount."

I think that's a fine idea.

People shouldn't be angry that I don't do stuff. People should be happy that I don't murder their family and burn their house down.

The wording in the article was...odd:
"The sword would be tested on a live, often-screaming, condemned criminal."

What do you think this is?
It's a heavy-duty leather face protector for bikers.

My wife has great friends at her nail salon. They all immigrated from Vietnam and periodically one of them will go back for a visit. This reminded me of how immigrants have always and will always strengthen our country.

This first one may seem cruel, but their is wisdom in the madness.
Of course if over half your children die before adulthood, it behooves you to have more. The fact that more die because you are poor only enhances the need to have more.
I agree...and birth control pills. I think there should be dispensers on ever street corner. And why don't we do such a socially responsible thing? God.
If gods could be rated like restaurants and hotels...
(I found that very funny.)

Okay, I understand why horses need metal shoes now; what with concrete roads and stuff.
But why did farm horse need them? There was only dirt. Are horse in the wild plagued with fucked up feet? I don't think so.

I requested the number 867-5309 from my cellular provider because I like being annoyed to the point of rage.
(I didn't make that up. I read it somewhere and have no idea what it means.)

What fun...

I once lied to my principal that I had to leave work early because I had severe stomach pains. Later that afternoon two co-workers used the same excuse and claimed I gave it to them.

867-5309 is a song by Tommy Tutone. It was catchy and inane, and anyone who ever had that phone number has long since changed it I'm sure. I remember morning radio shows where they called that phone number using every area code in the continental US, and that was just one show in one day. I think it was popular during the 80's at some point, I don't remember the 80's very well.
I like the mother-in -law oomvo. Her one redeeming quality was it was so much fun to annoy her. I would just ask out the blue "why are you mad?"
Me, mad? I'm the least mad man alive today. Fuck you.
