Live in Austin

A couple of excellent adventures from this week:

1 - 5 players (yeah, it was small) but it was still ultimate and I still miss the hell out of it.

2 - T-Rex and I picked, cut down and hauled a Christmas tree for Bandito and Lady K as a gift. The weapons grade part of this story (more on that later) is that whilst we were riding on the trailer, the tree was blown off. So T-Rex yelled to the driver to stop while I jumped off, ran down our errant tree and ran it back. And yeah, the guy didn't stop. Fortunately, his stop speed was about 5 miles an hour, so it wasn't too difficult to run him down. But still, pretty good times.

3 - We stopped in Elgin (pronounced Elg-in), Tx and checked out this oldschool train station. The best part of this stop was an advertisement from the '50s for the hula-hoop (made by wham-o, who makes the official ultimate frisbee). The catch phrase for the advertisement was: 10 minutes practice makes you chief witch-doctor of your neighborhood. Lady K's comment after hearing it: "I already was the chief witch-doctor of my neighborhood." Yeah.

4 - T-Rex is so incredibly Barney (from How I Met Your Mother) if Barney had morals of some variety. I guess I should say that T-Rex is the awesomeness that Barney embodies.

5 - Phrases from the Urban Dictionary (a present for T-Rex): GSBI - Good-sounding bad idea. Zippersparker - Dry humping with clothes on. There are many more, but I'll leave it there.

6 - My hatred for Roy Williams has not diminished since he left KU to UNC. He is the absolute worst. I can't stand him. And, despite my brother's love for the Tar Heels and their excellent ability, I can't wait for Roy to choke away any chances that UNC has in the tourney.

Alright, I'm out for the time being. I'll see if I can keep this up for a little while.
