Player... give me some brew, and I might just chill...

 7-5 on my football picks, with Indy and a heavily favored Seattle to go... and Stacey was only mad about the beating for 3 days... not bad for a mopey French girl. Even on my losses, I beat the spread twice... which is all that really matters. Abdullah has taken to calling me "Magic."

Note that my Bengals call was based entirely on Women's Intuition. I was quite proud of that one.

Stacey and the Colonel went out to dinner, the kids are in bed, and I have a little time to dump some of the stuff from our Favorites section on you.

First... and I feel badly that I was a bit late putting 2+2 together on this before Jack's "This Day In Cape History" November 9th column... but read Wikipedia for a few to learn about former Cape Cod Coliseum owner Vince McMahon's lowest moment that didn't involve one of his wrestlers shooting up testosterone and murdering his family.

That's right, folks... November 9th was the anniversary of the infamous "Montreal Screwjob."

Montreal Screwjob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now... I don't want to give too much away, but it's basically what happens when something fake gets faker... and involves money, business, and Canadian pride. Even if you think wrestling is stupid, you may get a kick out of just how stupid it can get.

 Next... 

The last fight Stacey won against me resulted in this DVD being taken out of the Monponsett family TV. She thought it would never end... I wished it would never end. Had I won the fight, I would have sat on her for 3 straight showings of this video, holding her head towards the TV so that she'd have no choice but to savor every fine instant.

YouTube - Buckethead solo

For those of you that don't abuse LSD, Buckethead is the guy who filled in for Slash when Guns n' Roses broke up. His claim to fame is his stage getup... he wears a white Captain Kirk mask (just like the killer wore in the Halloween movies) and an empty KFC bucket on his head... hence the name, I gather.

Raised in a chicken coop, his songs generally tend to revolve around chicken-related themes. One of his albums was called "Enter The Chicken," and boasted a single called "I Can Only Carry Fifty Chickens At Once."

 Also...

I've decided to pass up on college and become an ordained Minister... and then spend the $30 to get my doctorate. I'm sure to get big respect as an 18 year old doctor who can perform gay marriages.

Welcome to the official website for Universal Life Church, International Headquarters

All that Book Learnin' shi* just gets in the way of life's better years. Having a doctor on the staff here will no doubt cause Maggie and Julie to cough up the big bucks when we get down to talking salary this week in Hyannis.

Stacey is tough to negotiate with. She models her salary discussions on the work of the Poston Brothers. Here's an animated version of their negotiations with the Cleveland Browns, for the rights to their #6 overall pick, Kellen Winslow II.

Bang!

"I think the Cleveland Browns be tryin' to starve our client.... How dare you speak to him such?"

Translated to CCToday... that'd be the Colonel and I flanking Stacey (the hugh yeller one), giving Walter the business.

Finally... our fave Kimbo Slice wins what looks like a fixed fight to me... Kimbo Slice vs Bo Cantrell- EliteXC Renegade Streaming Video- Good Quality - Yardbarker
