| The only kind of rat I would pick up is this one: a knitted one |
And on that note, I freeze like that one kid at a house party when the cops show up (not like that has ever happened mom). I don’t know what to do or say.
“Um, huh, um, what?” I say out of my mouth petrified.
I hate mice, rats or any kind of rodent that normally isn’t t kept as pets. I don’t do the whole picking up the dead rodent thing. Never have, never will. Say I am not a man for it? Fine, never said I was in the first place. Think I am a wuss for it? And you are probably right. I don’t do rodents, bugs, snakes or spiders. I hate’em all! (Warning: weird tangent upcoming). Speaking of which, why did Noah have to bring them on the ark? There were so many worthless animals he brought! Why’d we need misquotes? Who the heck decided to invite them to the party! Then again I shouldn’t be the one to talk, I’m sure that is what everyone says when I show up to party. (It is called self deprecation, laugh darn it, laugh!)
And then kind of like that cop my friends and I encountered down at the monument on that one fateful night I am not allowed to talk about because we made a pact about not ever talking about it (I didn’t just break that pact, did I?), magically nothing bad happened.
Thanks to the college intern, a girl by the name of Alison who goes to St. Thomas, I didn’t end up picking up the dead rat, because just like when the nice cop broke his serious face and said he wasn’t going to give us any min - um, let me change something’s before I get in trouble - he wasn’t going to give us any MINUTES (that’ll fool’em) Cortney broke her serious face and said, “Alison did it already, we just wanted to see what your reaction would be.”
And just like that, I was home free! My hands were clean. And so what if everyone in my workplace now thinks I’m not a man. I never said I was on my resume… all I said was that I am male.
(wow I finally just wrote a pretty cool/entertaining ending to a blog post above, but now I am going to completely ruin it, because it is time once again for “Sports bullet point… but mainly about basketball and the NBA Playoffs”.)
- While I didn’t expect the heat to win last night in Chicago, I did expect them to win the series. Nonetheless as I thought would happen yesterday, the Mavs are facing the Heat in the NBA Finals. And honestly with the way the Heat are playing, they are unstoppable. That being said, the Mavs do have some really good defensive players. Tyson Chandler can easily take Bosh as well as defend the paint. And Shawn Marion is crafty vet who I think has the ability to slow down the Heats perimeters all-stars, Wade and James. That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see former T-Wolf Corey Brewer get some minutes. He is a lengthy athletic swing man that can run the floor and defend the fast break, and might be needed because that is what the Heat do best: run the fast break. It is also a shame the Mavs don’t have Caron Butler, his defensive presence would be mighty helpful. If you can’t tell by now, I am going to be rooting for the Mavs, but I personally believe the Heat will the series in 6. There Big 3 is unstoppable and single handedly took apart the best defensive team in the NBA, in the Bulls.
- The news around the basketball is that Scottie Pippen thinks Lebron is the greatest player to ever play the game. Check out this quote by Pippen: “Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to play the game, but I may go as far as to say LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he is so potent offensively that not only can he score at will but he keeps everybody involved.” Now I realize he doesn’t definitely say “LeBron James is the greatest ever” but I am still a little shocked he would even hint at it when he played with the greatest. And honestly, in my opinion Lebron James could get 10 rings with the Miami Heat, but I wouldn’t label him the greatest just because James created this fluke team over the summer. Jordan won 6 titles doing it the right way. Lebron James did it the wrong way, simple as that.
- For stuff about the Timberwolves check out the latest blog on the sidebar. The new post is about the 20th overall pick and what I think we should do with it. It is easily the most sports oriented piece I have done so far.
