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.

We Got the Spazz

Streak Start: Draw a crop circle and take out anything interested. I’m left with the circle.

Day starts off too late to choose the dreaded soccer game. This was the universe purposefully keeping us in bed long enough to miss it by the proverbial hair.

My losing streak is gaining on me…a hungry 3 that threatens to unhinge the refrigerator of scoreboards and devour all that is relevant to a winning streak. Unfortunately, the Mate has his biggest losing streak ever…somewhere near a 7 or an 8. That can’t be good for the Likes To Win, Will Kill if He’s Losing, Soul.

How on earth am I going to be able to afford all those informative and frightening pregnancy books for my beautiful kids? The toughest is finding a great Father to Be book that doesn’t either unnecessarily inflate a man’s sac or make him out to be an aimless oaf.

Noticing that the 2pm game is creeping up like a pair of granny panties, I choose in a fairly flitful way. Company has just walked in to share with me a Russian version of Skating with the Stars, and let me tell you ~ it is full of passion! So I take the fancy complicated pick that I usually pass over with a look of disdain.

The game that luck would put before me is the Eagle Bank Military Bowl. East Carolina vs Maryland in college feetballs. 75.1% chooses that Maryland will have the winning margain vs EC’s points from field goals. Fine by me. Bring on the frozen Russians while I wait.

Yeah! A win! Kiss kiss kiss kiss! Mama can buy the GOOD bread this week, kids!!!

The next choice is made with a quick peek at scores all season. The Baylor Bears are home and the name rings a winning sound in my ears. Hopefully it isn’t some sorta reverb off Illinois Fighting Illini. A preview that I read states something about weakness in Illinois’ offense so with only 6 minutes, Dougie Fresh you’re on…uh uh on, I trigger finger it to the Bears.

If it’s not bad enough that the Mister is having a rotten time processing his day, I notice that Baylor is very attached, affectionate almost, with their own Zero. Meanwhile, Illinois laughs wholeheartedly, running off with 14 points as they look back on the coddled lack of points to the opposite side.

Eventually while the Mister continues his constant hammering and all dust remains in the air, I see that it’s me and Zero tonight. Actually though, if you look at that bright, spring green Zero on the home page, it’s actually kind of pretty. Festive. Comforting.

Eventually you just start finding weird and different ways to choose. So with Utah Jazz gifting the Los Angeles Clippers with their presence, I decided to go Jazz. Because I like jazz music. I like the hip hop group Tribe Called Qwest’s song “We got the Jazz”. I’m jazzed. My day is falling apart like an overboiled strip of tripe. I need to be jazzed up. Help me find a reason not to eat a whole cake and put my toothbrush on strike!
