Long Weekend Learnings

1. Hangovers suck.

2. Giving David Purcey the ball in a Major League game is like giving Gandhi a gun for a preemptive strike.

3. When your girlfriend cancels your plans to go meet her over a long weekend, at least pretend to be disappointed and apologetic even though she's the one bailing on you. I know it sounds illogical, but trust me. Also, taking her to see fireworks on Monday night smooths any conflict over.

4. The FAN Radio Network handles rain delays like professionals. Rogers Sportsnet, not so much.

5. When a drunken bartender puts on a Star Trek soundtrack album at the bar, if you value your friend's dignity, don't ask the bartender if he has the Spock vs. Kirk music.

6. When you're wandering around the studios at The Score, jokes about Kouly and Ludzy never get tired.

My favourite:

Me: When are you guys going to start up the All-Ludzy Network?

Score Employee: What? You mean Fashion Television?

7. Roy Halladay and Chuck Norris probably have a lot in common. I compare Halladay's Sunday afternoon performance to Chuck Norris in Delta Force 2. They both exert a quiet dominance over any situation that they're called for, and act as though it's nothing out of the ordinary. They're just doing they're job.

8. Philadelphia fucking loves Rod Barajas.

9. The dude from Crashburn Alley is a very good sport.

Rod Barajas. Best. Blue Jay. Ever.

I was thinking the same thing about the FAN. The rain delays were actually enjoyable to listen to.

Dude, what are you talking about? During the rain delay Sportsnet promptly switched over to the PDC US Open for the Gary Mawson vs. Raymond van Barnelveld match. A cut to Holland's number one dart player is a pretty good recovery if you ask me.

That dart game was damn good (the one where the dude was down 6 legs to none, came back to tie it, then choked in the 13th match).

I sincerely hope to attend one of those matches at some point . . . those venues, my friends, are where the beer flows like wine.

...and wine flows like diarrhea from the buffalo.

Televised darts is hilarious. Those people (spectators and commentators) get so worked up, almost like it was an actual sport or something.

I particularly love the fans with signs and how frantically they wave them, as well as the commentators excitedly yelling out "One hundred and eighty!!"

fireworks as panty removers

Sounds like something Wile E. Coyote would do on a date. If that doesn't work, whip out (not that) the ol' stick of dynamite.

I never understood it when girls talked about always getting burned by guys. I know now--it's all the gunpowder used in attempts to remove their knickers.

It makes me wonder if Guy Fawkes was gay.

Uhh ... Best Regards, John?
