Round 2

So I am too lazy to go find out how the pool is doing, but I would assume that with the scores I saw last night (and don't remember. hmmmm, green beer and guinness) that Shaun is no longer perfect, and we are probably equally getting screwed by picking the wrong upsets. When Nate gets on here, he can post the standings or something. Me, I've only missed 7 picks I think, and haven't lost any of my elite 8 picks, so there is still a chance.

St. Pattys day was a fucking success. If you guage success by getting real drunk, eating muchos gracias breakfest burritos, getting drunk some more, having someone drive your car home, and getting cool green heinekin and corona (corona???) beads at The Shamrock. That bar is cool, and I can't think of a better way to waste a day then drinking and watching basketball. Except maybe drinking and watching Football. (GO HAWKS!)

sea vs. hou Also, thanks for voting for Tricia and the sonics. as you can see, they are up against the Rocket Dancers on the 22nd, so make sure to get on this link and vote on that day.

edit: I did get one picture, but blogger isn't working for me either on the photos, so check myspace to see it.

F*cking Blogger & Way To Go Shaun

So I've tried FIVE fucking times now to post this really great story I have about a big fucking Grizzly Bear up in Alaska. How big? Try fourteen feet tall when it's standing on it's hind legs. And blogger won't let me post the pictures of this monster. Soon as it let's me post some pics it'll be up here.

And after one day of the NOSE/RRR March Madness Tourney Challenge, Erik's buddy Shaun when 16 for 16 on day one. Which is funny since just 72 hours ago he made his deal with the devil. I thought there was some kind of waiting period before deals with Satan went through. Oh and it's Shaun's B-Day today so happy birthday Shaun.

And a happy B-Day to little Nate, son of Matt Jones of Jackmove fame. And one of the coolest little dudes ever. (I mean the name says it all, right?)

And to everybody else, Happy St. Paddy's. Who brought the Guinness? (God I cannot wait to get off work)

3 down...

So, 3 games down, how many of you picked Wisc. Milwaukee?
and how about Boston College holding on?

I saw a healthy handful of brackets got posted. excccellent.

edit 4:00 PST: so now im 6-7. how about you?

Also, our friend Tricia and the Sonic Dancers need your help. Vote for them at VOTE NOW

edit 4:20 PST: I can't help myself. I hate work and want to be watching basketball. Check this page of first day quotes out, along with my favorite. sports.yahoo

"At the Nevada–Montana game someone held up the following sign: "Grizzly 1,300 pounds, Wolf 70 pounds. No contest." "Someone spent time writing that out? And then carrying into a stadium? And someone at CBS decided to show it? " WTF?

Get In The Pool

Our friend Emily over at Red Red Rine started a NCAA March Madness pool sponsored by her webpage and the good guys here at NOSE. So if you are interested in picking some games and talking a little smack go to here, and sign up.
The winner will have exclusive shit-talking rights plus win a brand new, extremely limited (try one of one) tee-shirt that will somewhat resemble this.
So get off your asses and sign up. And Red, you're going down!
Good luck to everybody who enters.

And to my "little" brother T.R. Happy 25th Birthday! Hope it's a good one!

NCAA and St. Patricks Day

Its tuesday before the games start. Have you got your picks in for the NOSE/RedRedRine NCAA pool on Espn.com yet?
http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/group?groupID=122935&password=null

Or have you got in on any office pools? Who did you pick, or if it was random draw, who did you get? Inquiring minds want to know. And they also want to know how many of you take time off to watch any of the games.

And for those of you in the area, the 17th is Shaun's birthday, so we are meeting at the Shamrock Friday between 3:00 and 6:00 if you want any chance of a seat. It's drinking time baby!
