Time to sell my 89 Upperdeck?

Ken Griffey Jr. Breaks Hand in Accident

Griffey gets hurt more than the guys on my fantasy basketball team and dickos fantasy football team. I wonder if it's time to sell my 89 Upperdeck Rookie card yet...

seriously, out of a 14 man roster, 8 starters and 6 bench, I had 5 injuries as of Monday, I dropped a guy and picked one up, and now Nowitzki is hurt too, putting me back up to 5 injured guys. I almost can't even field a full roster.

Also, I love picking on Christmas light displays. I have what some might refer to as an addiction. Yes, Christmas spirit and all that shit, but tacky is tacky, no matter how you justify it.

The first is tacky. The second is tacky. The third, I can't decide. Sometimes a lot can look good if you don't overuse lights that don't match and snowmen and raindeers, etc. These are internet pictures, but I bet If I drove by I would think "HOLY SHIT, THAT'S TACKY!"

And We Have A Winner... (Christmas Light Snob 2006)

I found an interesting article on the web today. This guy over in the Boston area has over 250,000 Christmas lights. His power company had to install a new power line because he blew up the old one with all of the juice his grotesque display is drawing. I just wish this guy lived across the street from Erik so we could all listen to him bitch.
And I believe I found the most ridiculous display in Longview. I should have some great pics of some terrible displays up on here soon (if I could just remember my camera).
I would also like to take this time to thank my inconsiderate neighbors, who keep their bright white Christmas lights on all night right outside my bedroom window. I know how Griswold's neighbors feel now.

Blazers half court tundra

Blazers Half Court Shot for a new Toyota Tundra. I missed this game but Alex sent me this clip. Pretty crazy to actually see someone with a hint of athletic ability get a chance at one of these half court shots. The last game I was at the guy's shot didn't even land in the key. I hate when people don't even come close. I want to kick them for not signing up someone they know with athletic ability instead of signing themselves up. And I boo them. Loud.

Christmas lights

Speaking of articles in the daily news,
Christmas Lights

They did an article about all the grossly over decorated homes in the area, although they were a little nicer about it than I am.

I was mad I didn't take a camera down Shaun and Angela's street last night. There is a house near theirs with at least 10 inflatables out front, and two houses across the street with more lights than the rest of the block combined.

Letter to the Editor (update)

So it looks like Erik's rant about the idiot drivers in town got published by the local newspaper. Check it out here...
The published version sure is a lot less angry sounding than the original I noticed.
