I&#8217;m SOOOOO glad I did, too. <\/p>\n<p>In true Mad-Lib(TM) style, he&#8217;s made it possible for anyone to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chisport.com\/sportsguy.html\">write their own<\/a> &#8220;Sports Guy&#8221; column. Sure, anyone COULD do it, but CSR makes it easy, and awfully damn accurate, too! I&#8217;m not that big on the Chicago sports scene, in fact, my views go from hatred to horribly indifferent depending on the day, team and situation in the Windy City, but they look like they&#8217;ve got some other fun stuff on their site (puppy curling, anyone?) that makes it worth a look-see. Give &#8217;em enough support and Tom might come back with a remake of the Sports Guy mad-lib.<\/p>\n<p>****<\/p>\n<p>Poker annoys me almost as much as poker players annoy me, but I can&#8217;t help but get sucked it by <a href=\"http:\/\/mgoblog.blogspot.com\">Brian&#8217;s<\/a> stab at the World Series of Poker. Everyone starts with 10K, and at last report he was around 50K through a good portion of Day 2(A). I don&#8217;t really know the guy other than Blogpolling and the occasional random e-mail, but I can&#8217;t help but hope he goes very far in this. <\/p>\n<p>After all, he <em>is<\/em> the one that introduced OMG! BANANA! to the world. Or at least my world.<\/p>\n<p><center><img src=\"https:\/\/haveyoumettony.com\/images\/omgbanana.gif\"><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, so a little while after my last post (one hour, ten minutes and four innings, to be exact), Texas drops eight in the 4th and shuts out the Twins 9-0.
