Does everyone spend their evenings on-line? I do most of the time and tonight will be no exception. I am particularly heavy into sports this evening but I have a few other tidbits to share. By the way, HD TV is awesome. I'm currently watching a baseball game on HD and waiting for two different pre-season football games to start. All in HD. If I was paying $5 for a beer I would think that I'm sitting in the stadium. Instead, I have a 30-pack of Miller High Life and a flat screen on the wall.
Just before 7:00 I made a few bets that we're going to track through the evening. I've got the Mets and the Nationals under 7, the Indians and Orioles over 9 and the Pirates and Phils under 9. I've been making bets on-line for a few months. I primarily bet on baseball but I won a few bucks on Tiger Woods over the weekend. The things that you can bet on are incredible. I can bet on who will have more hits and runs between Edgar Renteria and Chone Figgins. I can bet the Bengals and Redskins will score more than 38 in tonight's preseason game. Or I can bet who will win the Emmy for Best Actress - my vote goes to Teri Hatcher.
As of 7:43 the Mets and Nationals are tied 0-0. The Indians and Orioles are tied 0-0. And the Pirates are beating the Phils 4-0.
If you are looking for something to do tomorrow you could attend the funeral of Hunter S. Thompson. The writer, who committed suicide this past February, will have his remains shot off with fireworks in Colorado. His ashes are expected to rest on his property referred to as "psychic anchor." There will also be many drinks served at a specially made bar said to resemble a "lounge atmosphere." The entire event is being paid for by actor Johnny Depp who portrayed Thompson in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
The Rolling Stones are hitting the road again. I got to see them live about 15 years ago when I thought it would be my last chance to catch the veteran rockers. If you still haven't seen them, don't worry about it. You can save 100 bucks by getting your uncle Mortimer drunk on whiskey, handing him a guitar and telling him to walk around like a chicken. Oh yeah, don't forget the cigarette hanging from his mouth.
An NFL Newborn Set that includes a onesie, bib and footies only costs $20. If I win all 3 bets tonight I think I'll buy it. But I'm not sure what team to get. Chargers? Steelers? Bengals? Patriots?
UPDATE: Mets 0, Nationals 0 - Orioles 1, Indians 1 - Pirates 6, Phillies 1
You may know that for the past few years Snoop Dogg has been coaching his sons' little league football team. This year, he is managing an entire league. He lowered the typical cost of joining a league from $175 to $100 per player. That money covers equipment. He has also established the 'Snooperbowl' - a game played the day before the Superbowl. "It's so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs," Snoop said. "We should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics." Although I am sure I could find something funny in all this, I'm really just impressed. I think this country could use more people like Snoop Dogg. No, really!
Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem Band are very underrated.
According to a study by scientist in Scottland, redheads can tolerate more pain. Apparently a study involving redheaded mice (wouldn't that be red-bodied?) showed that the animals with red hair were able to withstand higher pain thresholds. But, this was only true of the females. So redheaded women can put up with more shit. If that's true, can you imagine what Desi did to get dumped by Lucy? Or who?
The Pirates just went up 10 to 1 on the Phillies. The pitcher hit a Home Run. Damn! That's one loss. So much for Morgan's cheerleading outfit. In the meantime the Mets beat the Nationals 1-0 and the Indians and Oriols are tied at 4. That's a win and at least a push. I'll end up down a buck or up 3. Either way, I don't think I'll be making my fortune in on-line gambling.
