Brain Enema of a Savage Mind

I’ve thought about it long and hard and I think the answer to my problem really is bacon!  What problem is it that can be solved by this miracle meat you ask?  Hippies.  That’s right.  Not even all of them really, just the small subset who come in here and feel that the one bath a year they are accustomed to really is optional.  If a minute after someone walks in the odor is so strong my eyes actually tear up there is something very wrong.  As much as I want to spray them down with my bottle of sanitizer I always resist temptation.  So the dilemma became how to keep them from wanting to come in here.  After all, these inevitably are the type of people who come in, ask a ton of questions, sample all the beer, and then buy a 50 cent package of yeast so they can attempt to ferment the berry/flower/beet of the week.

The answer is so simple.  Bacon.  A little bacon grease in all our beers, and make sure to let them know.  They’ll be so revolted they’ll tell all their friends and boycott us!  Okay, so maybe that isn’t a real solution.  I’ll just go back to the fantasy in my mind of renting a crop duster, filling it with soap water and making passes over the Grassroots festival.

Well last night we blew another game. We didn’t shoot nearly enough, we were slow getting to the puck, and when we did have it we threw the puck away rather then controlling it. It was awful. In fact we were shut out. It was a game that we were actually in the whole time if we had bothered to step up our game and start playing. Hopefully tonight we turn it all around.

2008 is not a good year for anything hockey.  At least so far the hockey gods have been dumping all over me.  The Sabres are on the verge of losing 8 straight games - so yes, no wins so far in 2008.  The hockey team I play on dropped a couple games we had a damn good shot at winning.  In one of them we blew a 2 goal lead.

Tonight the Sabres look to snap the skid - unfortunately they’re facing a tough Ottawa Senators squad so it’s no easy task for them.  I have to wait until Sunday to see of my hockey team can get things back on track.  Hopefully we’ll shake of the new years blues and get back to rockin’ and a rollin’ soon!
