My bald friends

Why is it that my two friends that have no hair call me a loser for creating a blog? I mean, come on, at least I have hair! :)

Well, last night was Survivor night. Unfortunately, it was one of the most boring episodes ever. Feeling sorry for the castaways they played a lame "challenge" where they gave out stuff like a shower or food. And then the "it's never happened before in the history of Survivor" moment... ooh, they changed up the teams. Big deal, they've done that lots of times. Then the immunity challenge. They didn't press them there either. Everyone get in a boat, row it out a little ways and pick up some bags. Then throw some clubs at a marker and break it. Ooh... the thing I don't get is why wasn't Gary Hogeboom throwing the clubs? Didn't want to give away his secret identity as Gary the landscaper? What intrigue.. yawn.

On a completely different topic, I received a 19" LCD monitor at work yesterday, WOW! That is awesome. Gotta get one at home. I've been trying to decide whether to get a new computer at home or live with what I've got and get a new monitor. So, I've done neither. I have a 19" CRT monitor now, but that's only 17" viewable (unlike LCD where 19" is 19" viewable), takes up all of my desk and weighs about 80 lbs.

On to baseball... is the Rocket out of fuel? He's looked pretty average lately. I mean the guy got beat up by the Brewers a month ago, that should signal the end for him. On the other hand Smoltz with a very gutty performance. He doesn't look right but busted his ass. I've got him on my roto team but I'm not sure if I should make him a keeper for next season or not. His shoulder injury worries me.

And hockey, is anyone watching? I hear the first night that the rinks were at 98% capacity. I find that shocking, did they take out two thirds of the seats? Anyone have any comments on the OLN coverage? I didn't get to see the game Wednesday due to bowling.

Football... Badgers at Northwestern. Should be a blow out but you never know in the big 10. I think the UW has shocked a lot of people this year, myself included.
As for the Packers... as if it couldn't get worse, they lose 2 lineman most likely and possibly a third and now have had to activate a practice squad WR to take Murphy's place. I've decided it would be a better idea for me to take advantage of a golf special during the game so I won't be watching. I sure do want them to win but it's becoming far too painful to watch.

Grinder, thanks. What site meter are you talking about? I don't see one.
Yes, 12:30 golf Sunday. One or two bald men will be joining us.
