The Stars My Destination
Godspeed, Atlantis. The usual suspects: B.B.C.link and N.A.S.A.link.

I feel as if I'm in the midst of Arrested Development, "I've made a huge mistake." More in the days to follow as I collect my thoughts and (ever the cynical optimist) gain some perspective, but at this moment in time I detest John Sidney McCain III as ferociously as I've ever loathed any Democrat. I was listening to All Things Considered as I shoveled Wilson Field this afternoon and I literally growled every time they played an excerpt of McCain's speech before the C.P.A.C. Curse that double-dealing liar!

I watched the entire game at Assembly Hall (Indiana 83-79 Illinois 2OT) and I still have no idea how the Fighting Illini lead most of the game and held off the Hoosiers to force a second overtime. I especially enjoyed all the kids wearing "CHIEF" T-shirts, a pox upon the N.C.A.A. Long live Chief Illiniwek!



Also, in the waining seconds of regulation time in Illinois-Indiana, I flipped over the ESPN2 and caught the last second shot that allowed Xavier to prevail over Saint Louis, 70-68. Thrilling!

Jumpin' Jack Pratt, the three-point buzzer beater to put Pitt over West Virginia was precisely the ending for which I'd hoped! I have no particular love for the Pitt Panthers, but fuck Bob "Thuggins" Huggins and fuck everyone and everything associated with the "University" of West Virginia. I hope each and every one of you inbred sacks of shit chokes on your own vomit. Go to Hell, Mountaineers! Good job, Pitt.

Mu330, "Pool Party" from Mu330 (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: "You can be a real man if you can do a keg stand!"

Mu330's dark and satirical "Pool Party" should not be confused with the much happier and lighter "Pool Party!" by The Aquabats!
