Your Keeping Priorities Straight Quizo Update


Once again this weekend Tiger Woods failed to win the Masters, and I'm not sure I can live in a world where, over the last 4 years, an average - AVERAGE! - Masters finish of second - SECOND! - is actually considered a failure. When was the last time YOU finished first-third-second-second four years running in the most prestigious golf tournament in the world? That's what I thought.

However, the important thing coming out of Augusta this weekend - well, the two important things - is that the two golfers I hate more than any others, Sergio Garcia and Phil Mickelson, missed the cut and choked it up respectively. It's okay if Tiger doesn't win as long as those two douchebags lose. Have you seen that commercial for Exxon Mobil - shilling for oil companies, nice work, Phil - that runs during the tournament. In it, Mickelson says - I am not making this up - "math and science are everywhere." Really, Phil? Math and science are everywhere? Thanks for the tip, you fucking dope. Next up on Phil Mickelson's Blindingly Obvious Life Tips: look both ways before crossing the street, and try not to eat rat poison.

God, I hate Phil Mickelson.

I have mentioned privately to some people that my new favorite show is Supernatural. Have you watched it? You probably haven't, since it's late of the WB and we aren't exactly their target demo. At the urging of a friend of mine I downloaded the first episode and let me tell you, folks: this show is MADE OF AWESOME. After watching the first episode I picked up the entire first season on DVD and I'm going through it now. I can't really recommend it enough. It's sort of the bastard child of the Dukes of Hazzard and the X-Files with a totally-apropos-of-nothing-yet-cool classic rock soundtrack. Plus I watched an episode last night that was totally inspired by Byberry, and I give mad props - MAD, I tell you - to any show that bases entire episodes on Philadelphia urban legends. It's no Battlestar Galactica (what is, after all?) but there are far worse ways to spend an hour watching television (c.f. the View).

Speaking of BSG (spoilers) - Baltar having his own HeadBaltar? GENIUS!

Oh, also, before I forget - KANSAS WINS! KANSAS WINS! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS MOTHERFUCKERS! KANSAS WINS!

See you tonight.
