The gambling begins

I've got three of my 5 bets in play here. It's going to be a stressful afternoon. I need whiskey.

12 hours of basketball

A fridge full of beer
A hot grill
No work

Life is good. Life is very good.

Damn you!

Work to do
Boss in the office
Choppy internet stream

Life is bad, very bad.

Sucka

That's why I don't work for a Fortune 500 company. Actually, that's why I don't work at all. I'm living solely on the tens of dollars I receive from my BHGP stock.

When do you go public?

by Bucketochicken on Mar 20, 2008 1:58 PM CDT up 0 recs

Last year

I think we timed it just right. Everyone wants to get into internet companies right now, right?

No silly!

Its all about the financials.

How did you get that graph of my 401(k)?

I'm going to have to work until I'm 97.

by Hawkeye State on Mar 20, 2008 2:09 PM CDT up 0 recs

The graph is either your 401K

Or an Iowa BB game scoring log

by Eubanks on Mar 20, 2008 2:12 PM CDT up 0 recs

Either way,

it's not good enough for the postseason

Go Blue!

I drew Boobtucky in the boob drawing at work, but in my brackets I boobed Marquette. Should be a good boobs.

Wait. Sorry.

What?

Boobs.

"Carter Blackburn"

Were all the other good soap opera names chosen, or are his parents retarded?

Also, boobs.

What

Are you not breasting basketball? How can you not be hootering this Marquette game?

Boobs.

BOILER UP!

"Baby Boilers"

Seems like they ought to be the Baby 'Makers, doesn't it?

You would think so

but that name was already applied to Brian Cardinal.

by Hawkeye State on Mar 20, 2008 2:22 PM CDT up 0 recs

That's a mental image

I'd really like to get rid of

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 20, 2008 2:23 PM CDT up 0 recs

There are three scores on the screen

and none of them are for the game I'm watching.

I fucking hate CBS.

My "live stream"

has been frozen for ten minutes. Oh - it's back! For the commercial. I'm sure it'll be right back to not doing anything as soon as the ball is put in play. I fucking hate CBS and this craptop.
