Hope you all had a great week 10. Thank you to all the servicemen and Veteran's and their families who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms my family and I are afforded every day. Your service has afforded me the ability to provide for my family, exercise my beliefs, and even allows me to do the little things like writing this stupid blog.
I wrote something last night which I thought was long and insightful and as I read it today it started to sound like a high school term paper. But not the kind of term paper with anything personal on it or with a vulnerability to endear anyone to it. More like a cross between Wikipedia and an over the top Amazon review:
Like this Mr. Mister "Welcome to the Real World" album review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1Z05SFFACM46J/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000002WBS&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=
NOT this Mr. Mister review (although maybe I should try it next time): http://www.amazon.com/review/R395JRNKAMNKFF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000002WBS&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=
I know I wrote plenty of papers for high school but honestly the only one I remember writing was for my German class. It was a fiction story completely in German. I could pick any subject I wanted. I picked OJ Simpson. And not the OJ that jumped over luggage. I don't even remember what the story was about, I just remember copying and pasting a grainy picture of a white Bronco in the middle of the paper, as if a jpg file was going to get me extra points. "Here's my OJ Simpson fan fiction completely in German, Frau Olsen. "A" please!"
2 to 1 odds she called my guidance counselor and refused to grade it. I also named myself Helmut, ate some pickled herring, sang preschool songs, and shot a video impersonating Richard Simmons while gyrating in short shorts (no Nair involved) in my high school German class. So basically it was anything goes as far as I was concerned in my Ivy league prep German class.
So anyway here's the power rankings for this week. Props to Savannah Pickles who is the first get into the playoffs this year despite losing last week. It's been quite the run for the second year team and this team keeps making moves to set themselves up for the playoffs. This week it's #1 Pickles vs #2 Big Blows which could mean #1 seed for the playoffs. Big game.
I also want to call out the Silver Bullets and Team Kent who had convincing wins last week and who are surging in terms of points scored and over all opportunity to make a run to make the playoffs. We have 4 teams with 4-6 records so we'll be seeing quite the movement each week for a playoff spot. Every team is still in it and so it will make the last 3 weeks pretty entertaining...at least for me in my weird puppet master commissioner mind. Well here they are, take a look:
Power Rankings
Here's the playoff seedings so far. At this point the Bangers make the cut. Can they shake off the 4 teams under them?
Just a reminder to all, not only do you need to win but they need to score points these last weeks. The playoff seeding tiebreaker is "Points For" so if you have a tie in terms of records the higher seed will be the team with the higher amount of points earned over the entire season.
Projected Playoff Seedings
Well, good luck this week, I guess since it's past most of the games, hope you had good luck this week. Since this post isn't the multimedia extravaganza it normally is, in honor of Veterans day, please to present:
I soooo wish this was my brother in law but of course it isn't. Although get a few in him and I'm thinking he's breaking out his Moves Like Jagger...75 year old Jagger heyooooooo. If he's reading this, this weeks blog is brought to you by a ghost writer, I'm not actually writing this week. The person writing this week is from Denmark... you wouldn't know him. Anyway, if I could move like this in sweatpants, let alone a uniform, I would literally crash weddings every week. There is no public forum I wouldn't break out the boombox and start playing Billie Jean.
Going to work on my popping and locking right now. (Translation: shoulder is popping out of joint, and knees are involuntarily locking)
Have a good one everybody
