Some nerd crap and some sports nerd crap...

The brilliant Libertarian blog mastermind Andrew Winner (aka hotdog) had this to add per our Dayton Accord discussion:

Note: the Dayton Accords were actually brokered by your mom.

That's why he is a genius and you are not America. I was thinking of this hotdog character yesterday because I was playing Civ II. If you know what that means, great. If you don't? Dude, it's like, sports...or something. Most. Addictive. Game. Ever. I got some demo version that only let me play up to 1000BC which was frustrating because that's about when things get interesting. I'm probably going to cop it after work today nah mean? Not that I'm into that sort of thing. What do I look like? Some kind of dude who plays Civilization and has a blog??? Pardon me for a second....


Ok, sorry...had to clean off some Cheetos residue from the monitor and refresh the Dew.

Now, sports. Huskies got a number one seed and then lost in the Sweet 16 to Louisville. Louisville is coached by an Italian. Washington's two key scoring threats both were severely limited in the game by foul trouble resulting from at best questionable calls. A + B = ? You got it: mob involvement. Whatever, enjoy your tainted run to the Final Four biatches. PS, your star player no speaka da english. (He can shoot lights out though. Garcia was impressive. No foolin.) 2005-06 star recruits Jon Brockman and Martell Webster play tonight in the McDonald's All Star Game. Live on ESPN at 5pm PST.

The Supersonics clinched their first playoff birth in three years last night with a win at Memphis even though the Supes were missing All Star forward Rashard Lewis. Read the archives. I was on that bandwagon from day one. Take that Tubby. NBA Playoffs.

Baseball starts soon. Wake me after the all star break. Thanks.

Jefferson Starbucks

So you're at a leadership conference for Starbucks employees. The lights go out, and four conference speakers drop out of the sky dressed in bizarre 80s glam clothes. Sound weird? How about if they then lip synced a remix of Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City" called "We Built This Starbucks"?

How about if you could listen to this baffling motivational song right now?

It is C?BB?OTVRG's (my) honor to humbly present "We Built This Starbucks" courtesy of Seattle's The Stranger:

Guided By Voices

Guided By Voices (hereafter referred to as GBV) are a band fronted by Robert Pollard. He recorded the bulk of their extensive (read: unreal prolificity) catalog on his four track in his garage in Dayton, OH. The war in the Balkans had its peace accord signed in Dayton. I hope all the dignitaries visited Sonic for the new shake. Nice treaty fags.

Anyhoo, Pollard has never been able to keep the same lineup in the band. He's also a legendary alcoholic. Legendary. That probably has something to do with his lack of long term band mates. If you're interested download some cuts like "As We Go Up We Go Down", "The Best of Jill Hives", "Glad Girls", "Things I Will Keep", "Useless Inventions". There's literally hundreds and hundreds of songs so good luck getting a handle on the catalog. Shout out to Alan for being the first to post a comment on the blog. Makaela doesn't count in that regard.

The Sonics beat the Pace Show today. I love Reggie, but the Supes needed the win. Atta kids. I bought some whiskey today. I love whiskey. Down into my belly. I'm going to watch the Amazing Race on CBS today because the Vietnamese immigrant and stinky Christian that I work with both love the show. We have little else to talk about. Except sports sometimes, but dude's favorite player is John Stockton. John Stockton is dirty and Karl Malone painted those shorts on him. Gross.
