The Madness

No, I'm not talking about the madness of struggling through a Work In Progress that is not cooperating, though I suppose that's enough to drive one mad. Nor am I referring to the mind-numbing madness of the submission process which steals over you with glacial speed.

No, no. Spring is in the air and that can mean only one variety of madness. That's right: MARCH MADNESS!

You know it, people. The NCAA Tourney! It's on like your mom playing Donkey Kong. It's on like a speed-talking Vince Vaughn. It's on like a sammie with Grey Poupon.

Read it. Weep. Louisville, Memphis, Nova, OK, with Oklahoma laying a beat down on Louisville in the final. I'm dying to see Pitino cry like A-Rod when his spray-on tan starts to fade.

So you think you can take me, huh? You think your bracket can outlast mine? Oh, I don't think so, mofo! You got the cajones to bring a 12 seed like Western Kentucky into the Sweet 16? Yeah, I didn't think so. That takes a massive pair of shiny brass balls and you can't handle it, little girl!

You got picks? Lay 'em down but be prepared for public humiliation! Yeah, I'm gonna drop you like last year's prom date! BRING IT!

ETA: Whoa. I really should not have gone with that can of Red Bull at 9:30pm. Um, so I apologize for calling you little girls and implying that you were dumped by your respective prom dates. Sheesh. Yeah.

    *sigh* It's so sad when The Big Dance turns otherwise sane people into rabid bball fiends.

    That's a smack-back for the crack about your prom date, isn't it?

    Cuse! Though I dont know how far my Orangemen will go. Made it past the first round, but I suspect they will die somewhere in the sweet 16. :(

    I love ya, Blondchen, but...Louisville will be happy to beat Oklahoma by thirty again. Go Cards!

    Ha! Well, my Bracketology strategy is to never pick a #1 seed (especially THE #1 seed) to win, since it so rarely happens. Still, while it was beatdown on AZ, I doubt it'll be that easy tomorrow vs. Michigan State. :D

    Oh, the pain. I've packed away my spiffy Colonel Sanders suit. Oh, the pain.
