Pee Wee Streakman


Streak Start: Deux! Or should I say, Dos?


I am now inspired after hearing Crazy Train by Metalachi to check out their version of Master of Puppets by Metallica. Who’da thought?


Texas done good by me and I‘preciate it.


I will not waste this gracious positive number two (and really, who doesn’t appreciate a good number two?) on a soccer game that I hardly know.


Instead I’ll let it throw itself at another hockey game. I had to wait all the way until 7:35pm to have a game in progress! But this is good, keeps me out of trouble whilst I tend to my dayjob.
Now I am usually good at choosing the hockey games. Usually means most of the time. Tonight is that other indefinable piece of time that isn’t under the ‘most’ umbrella. I chose the Tampa Bay Lightening to win at home….lounging in their backyards, tin foil under their chin for tans….iced drinks. Ah, but not to be. The Washington Capitals came through and even right now as I am typing, are shaming the Lightning out of holding their own hockey sticks. Every time I click onto the webpage to check on how many threads are still possibly holding on to my streak, I see that the Capitals have basically hired Godzilla to kick the Lightning off the entire rink and are just making shots whenever they feel like it.


So within no time, ESPN has the red banner up there all glaring and angry with me. If I had won they woudn’t have updated my color status that quickly!!!


Now it’s time for the random pick since my streak did just that out the door. At least I feel important today because my daughter asked my opinion on baby bathtubs…..hammock included.


So out of laziness and the impatience of tequila, I choose the last game on the board for tonight. Will Denver win against Utah Jazz by double digits? Or will they either win by single digits or lose altogether? The majority took Single Digit so Tequila says Go for It. Click.

Texas? Mariachi metal?

Streak is starting off rotund and happy. Zay-Ro.

Tried to focus while I heard a mariachi band cover Crazy Train with horns and kept one ear out for bells being played since that’s what the youngin’ is supposed to be doing.

The preview tells me that Dallas has been playing hide and keep hiding with a win lately. It also tells me that this dude Tim Thomas is pretty dominant in his play. I do see that the stats for home and road aren’t anything that stand out to me but since I used to own one of these Boston Bruins long sleeved shirts where the color was faded, I choose the Bruins. I didn’t actually buy the shirt…it was my boyfriend’s when I was 22 and so, I ganked it from him and hung on to it for quite some time until some other boyfriend ganked it from me. Such is the circle of recycling.

****Post Game****

The Bruins came through. I will admit my mind got a bit overly happy when I saw that the Bruins already had a 4 point lead early on. When I checked back later, Dallas had brought their score up by 3 points. Ooops. Not so confident NOW, are we Granny???

All in all, I won this one. Yeah!

So next I feel déjà-vu. The Spurs and Lakers. Again. Didn’t I just deal with this game recently? It just feels that way.

They both look great but I am going against my Texas rule just for this one. You see how it is, Guys? Women can’t be trusted to do anything except be subject to changing their minds from moment to moment.

Ok Texas, don’t fail my whimsical ways!

Please enjoy the Metalachi!
