blazer tickets available

I have Blazer season tickets, sec 310, row A, seats 16&17 (right on the end, first row corner diagonally opposite the Blazers' bench, great view). Best seats for the money, $17 each face value, selling $30 for the pair.
Any game from now til the end of the season. Abby and I can't get to all the games because of coaching and work, so I need to get rid of tickets, especially sundays when we are coaching, so if you have a team you want to go see, and the Blazers are playing against them, then I have the tickets for you. Schedule at www.nba.com/blazers. I can email them for free so if you are a Vancouver-ite, you don't even have to pick the tickets up. eguttormsen@adelphia.net
Remember, go to see a good team versus the blazers, or go to see a bad team, but a good game. Last nights game versus the Raptors, was a 1-point win with great defense on the last play to keep the Raptors from winning.

also the next blog button strikes again, this time with a little sauna story for nate.

anything star wars

Just a quick FYI, anything (comments, pictures, links, etc.) to do with Star Wars is welcome here. For instance I heard on the radio yesterday that the number one movie that women prefer to watch while sick is Dirty Dancing. The number one for men? Star Wars, followed closely by Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Final a poll that has its finger on the pulse of the masses. And I found this.

And another funny note, this site that Nate found, thephatphree.com, is the new funniest site I have seen in a while. Especially the 50 people who need a vicious beating. I tried to pick a favorite, but there were so many good ones like:

• #33 Corey Feldmen "Anyone who ever dressed like Michael Jackson, including Michael Jackson, deserves to be beaten within an inch of his life."
• and then listing #22 The Bachelors and Bachelorettes,
• and then #21 The People Who Watch the Bachelor and Bachelorette
• #10 Teenagers "We were all there once, and we all deserved a beating for it. Teenagers are the second biggest group of assholes on the planet, bested only by old people. "

Thats good shit.

Illness

Over the past couple of years I have noticed something different about myself. I thought I may be ill but never really mentioned it to anybody because of the chance it was all in my head. But these last couple of months it has gotten worse and worse. I thought about maybe going to see a doctor but then I came across an article on the internet that perfectly described my disease. I can now say without a doubt that I suffer from F.B.O.
Honey, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you in person but I just didn't know how to break the news to you. And to all my friends and family, don't worry, I think I'll be okay. What I need from all of you is sympathy and understanding. Thank you in advance for all the support I know I will receive.
I *sourpatch kid* all of you. Seacrest out.

Last Man Standing......

Here at work we have a little tradition that happens every year when football season starts. It's called last man standing for reasons I will soon explain. To play you sign up, pay twenty bucks and pick your can't miss football team for the week. If your team wins you are on to the next week. If you team loses your done, unless it's the first three weeks of the season then you can pay another twenty dollars and sign back up. Last year we had about twenty-five people in the whole deal and I ended up winning it all (somewhere around $400) about week twelve. Well this year there are way more people who signed up for it. I'm not sure what the final count was for people playing but there is a cool fifteen-hundred in the pot for whoever wins. And apparently people are picking a little better this year. Starting this weekend there were nine people left in the whole deal. Out of those nine, four work at my branch (it's a big company). So Gym Hewey, Matt Jones from Jackmove, "Cheese" Maltsberger and I decided we would pool our efforts and split the winnings. Gym and I took our mighty Seahawks and Jonesy and Cheese decided to go with the Indianapolis Colts who should have killed the Pittsburgh Steelers but Troy Palamalu had other ideas. So I get to work this morning and Cheese tells me that everybody left had either the Seahawks or the Colts. Gym and I have a little strategy up our sleeves so I am counting on coming out of this thing victorious and splittin the loot with other three. Can we say X-Box 360? And you thought I was gonna have some funny story about squirrels getting piss-faced drunk, drinking brews, but instead got some gambling story. Funny. Seacrest out!

playoffs baby

Smoot hooked me up with tickets to the Seahawks/Redskins game yesterday. And it was fuckin sweet, just like I thought it would be. As expected I stayed up too late Friday after not drinking all week, so on the ride up to Seattle, I only got one beer down before I fell asleep. But luckily we got there nice and early so I was able to have a few more Redhook ESBs before going into the game.

Then a couple nice big Budweisers, a little rain, some guys wiping the blue ink from their free towels that were bleeding ink onto the white parts onto their heads and faces, 4 great quarters of football, and some serious yelling, chanting, screaming, and calling people on the phone to tell them we were at the game, the Seahawks took the game 20-10.

Shaun Alexander went out early with a concussion, so hopefully hes okay and will be back next week. Ken Hamlin, who was injured when he was attacked outside a bar earlier in the season, rose the 12th man flag at the beginning of the game, and then they played the scene from Terminator where Arnold says "I'll be back!" So that was cool. Sorry no pics, but I only took my camera phone and they didn't turn out very good.

Then we hit Red Robin on the way home, and after another big Redhook, I passed out again on the way home, and to quote Dr. Dre, "it was a good day."
