Fucking college basketball on tonight instead of Survivor and CSI.

[crim son]

My son tells me it was on last night. WHY DIDN'T HE TELL ME? No dessert for the little weasel.

[taterguy]

1. The revolution is about basketball and the revolution will not . . .

be televised.

I guess that Nike ad from about ten years ago was wrong. I wonder what else giant corporations are lying to us about.

[leftofthedial]

2. you could always just sit there and dribble

and do shooters

[crim son]

16. That's a thought.

Dribbling.

[leftofthedial]

59. Dribbling is easy

with enough shooters


don't even get me started on the pick and roll.

[crim son]

65. And yet I want to.

"Pick and roll"? Whaaaa?

[leftofthedial]

68. the pick and roll is a simple, effective basketball play

it also is an activity you can engage in in the comfort of your own home, in between shooters and dribbling.

[crim son]

72. Crap, my life is empty! n/t

[leftofthedial]

74. Ironically, the pick and roll (a basketball move)

frequently is followed by the flicker (a football play)

I don't even pretend to unerstand.

[trackfan]

3. Survivor was kind of predictable last night.

Interesting, different challenge though. Usually they're all rehashes now. I won't tell you what happened so as to avoid a spoiler.

[crim son]

17. Well, I might have to PM you

because I need to know.

[Orangepeel]

52. snarky recap on Television Without Pity

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a12922/

[crim son]

53. Thank you!

Now I know. :7

[KitchenWitch]

4. I watched Survivor for the first time ever last night.

Meh. Just doesn't do it for me.

[Shine]

12. This is the crappiest season I've seen in years, for what it's worth

it's been much better, imo.

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Can I have his dessert?

:P

[crim son]

18. You may.

It's suet pudding this evening. :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

54. I don't know what that is, but I bet it's delicious.

:P

[crim son]

55. No, it's vile.

I made it up in my imagination especially for you, because I want you to suffer. :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

56. I'll eat it if you feed me.

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

57. Oh, cruel man.

I will try to think maternally and so I will feed you. Be forewarned however that if the smallest glob of suet falls to the floor I'm going to have to punish you, and severely.

You wanna break my stupid old lady heart or what? You've already made me feel a thousand years old and I know you never meant it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

58. Yes, I want to be punished.

:evilgrin:

And fo a 1,000 year old, you look amazing! :hug:

[crim son]

60. Melt my heart, why don't you?

I'm visualizing your naked brown ass right now, and to hell with the whip, I'm using my hand!

Bastard, taking advantage of a drunk woman. God you're cute. Tell me I am not precisely the same character as she who has gone before. I mean, your deep feelings are untouched but surely I entertain. :eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

61. ...

:hug:

[crim son]

63. Edited.

Deleted.

[ikojo]

6. Sports uber alles

[crim son]

19. Bah on that! n/t

[LSK]

7. dont worry, theres bound to be a CSI marathon on FX or USA or some channel

I swear there is a CSI channel on some high end dish packages.

[crim son]

20. I have no cable. My t.v. viewing is very limited

which is probably why this bugs me so much. :D

[movie_girl99]

8. Survivor was on Last Night n/t

[jakefrep]

9. College basketball is an upgrade over Survivor and CSI:Newvegasami

Doesn't matter because I won't be home to watch it anyway, but that's just me.

[crim son]

22. Why must I suffer so that something you won't even be able to watch

is on. Watching sports is a)boring b)embarrassingly stereotypical masculine behavior c)causes one to become fat.

:P :hi:

[jakefrep]

28. If I'd known this earlier, I could have fed-exed....

...a DVD player and a CSI boxed set to you. :P

[crim son]

31. Yeah, what on earth were you thinking?

:rofl:

[taterguy]

39. I lose weight while watching sports

Because my bike trainer is in front of the TV

[crim son]

43. Then I have no criticism for you.

I think that the first time I saw a picture of you it was while you were on your exercise bike. Forever after you have been a pair of hairy legs, in my mind.

[unsavedtrash]

10. damn

fuck March madness.

[crim son]

23. Exactly!

:pals:

[Madspirit]

11. I hate sports

....and I hate when sports preempts regular programming. What are those godfuckingdamned sport's channels for? Grrr Argh.
Lee

[taterguy]

14. Some people don't have sports channels

The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is the only sporting event that I really, really like. Why should I pay for a year of a sports channel just to watch it a couple weeks. Apparently millions of others share my opinion which is why the games are on network television.

[Madspirit]

24. I didn't think of that.

Enjoy your game.
Lee

[crim son]

25. It's true that not everybody has sports channels and

in that case, they should go without. hehe.

[Madspirit]

34. I just didn't want to get yelled at but I kind of agree...n/t

[crim son]

38. Let me take the brunt of the animosity.

I don't mind.

[taterguy]

42. When has a sports fan ever yelled at anyone?

We're all civilized people interested in enlightened discourse :sarcasm:

[crim son]

46. I wonder, then

why I have no interest?

[taterguy]

76. Why don't you have an interest?

It's men with good bodies running around in shorts, and since they're in college you know they're educated.

[crim son]

77. Easy. I know that if I somehow managed to get my hands on one of them

I'd spend my life with him making cheesballs shaped like footballs and wiping spilled beer from my coffee table. No can do. And if I can't have any of them, why torture myself by watching? :)

[taterguy]

79. Interesting

You don't watch sports because you couldn't live with the participants . . . and yet you're a fan of Survivor, a show devoted to lying and manipulation.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I guess diversity makes the world go round.

[crim son]

80. I look at it this way:

People lie and manipulate their way through life, to one degree or another. The only difference in Survivor is that it's intentional. I can learn from that. From televised sports, I learn nothing.

Why are you taking it personally? Or better said, why are you even arguing the point?

[Shine]

13. How annoying he didn't tell you!

luckily, we have tivo, and it's set to record Survivor whenever it's on, regardless of the time switches. :thumbsup: I'd been so reticent for the longest time to jump on the tivo bandwagon, but now that we finally have, I must say, it's a HUGE improvement to our tv viewing pleasure! :D

:hi:

[crim son]

26. Yeah, my BIL is a tivo nut and whenever I visit my sister

I can see that it's worth having. Especially tonight!

[ThatsMyBarack]

15. Fine by me.

I got World Championship Figure Skating tonight on ESPN! :woohoo:

[crim son]

27. I'd watch that!

But I don't have ESPN :(

[Initech]

21. I'd much rather watch the tournament than about 95% of CBS's programming

[crim son]

29. You'd have to pay me big bucks

to watch college basketball or virtually any sport on t.v. unless it's the Olympics or unless it's skating, which I love.

[pokerfan]

75. Skating is a great sport!

[Maineiac]

30. Bites, doesn't it

I blew off Augusta for a variety of reasons. Here I am. Come and get me.

[crim son]

32. Why did you blow it off?

I've been grounded today which is one reason I was looking forward to vegetating in front of the t.v.

What did you do besides laundry?

[Maineiac]

33. Not a god damn thing

except stress about the stupid interview. I wasn't in the mood to sit there and be bored for three hours and then drive 75 miles home. I got as far as newport and turned around. Kathy did our taxes today and we have a $3500 refund that we don't get to keep.

[crim son]

36. You made the right decision.

We won't get a refund, if that makes you feel any better.

You know, you're always terrorizing me by threatening to move. That's not the behavior of a *true* friend. :P

[Maineiac]

44. I thought we were going to owe this year

I don't know how they pulled off a refund. Yeah, like anyone is going to offer me a job. Word has gotten around that if you want someone to jerk around, call this guy in for an interview. He'll believe anything. Besides, if you could afford to pay me what I'm worth, I wouldn't have to move. :silly:

[crim son]

45. Yeah. Sigh.

I did buy two more lottery tickets. :eyes: Augusta is overrated you know.

[Maineiac]

48. I could commute from say Newport

But that would be 80 miles a day. I did that for 13 years when I lived in Sanford. God, it sucked. Augusta is not heaven, but if I like the job . ..

[Maineiac]

47. 9 more posts until I reach my first hundred. Yeah!

I told Kathy and got usual "who gives a shit, you'll never get a better job" response. In her own way of putting it. It's time for me to pretend the world doesn't exist anymore. Have a most excellent evening.

[crim son]

49. She's not one for surprises, is she?

After the divorce, you'll get the better job and then the extra money will be yours. :hug: Goodnight & let's email in the a.m. I'm going to try to do Saturday night, if you're up for it.

[SPKrazy]

35. Ahhhhh, Too Bad!

Basketball :rofl:

:shrug:


:hug:

[crim son]

37. What, are you going to be watching it?

I guess you wouldn't have watched Survivor, anyway. Hi, pawpicker!

[SPKrazy]

40. Nah, I won't be watching it...

I'll be out doing something :shrug:

now I have to go...


:hi:


:hug:


Hellllllpppppppp!

[crim son]

41. See ya!

Enjoy. :evilgrin:

[NC_Nurse]

50. I'm sorry.

I too could give a shit about college basketball. Or any other sport for that matter.

I don't watch Survivor, but I like CSI....I think I'm gonna check out Court TV...

[crim son]

51. CSI is my favorite. I'll probably lurk here on DU as usual.

Happy teeveeing. :hi:

[Scout1071]

62. Boo-fucking-Hoo.

ROCK....CHALK....JAYHAWK!

The greatest freakin' tournament in the world is on! Surely you can catch those SCI re-runs another night?

Let's go Jayhawks!

[aquaman]

64. No shit......

peace.

[crim son]

67. ...and also may you spend a sleepless night

interrupted by many bouts of intestinal discomfort.

Kidding!

[aquaman]

69. Now I have to use the bathroom

Damn.

[crim son]

66. Jesus Christ, you are a madman.

I hate Sci-Fi almost as much as I hate watching sports as opposed to playing them.

Boo-Fucking-Hoo my ass! :7

[SPKrazy]

71. ROFLMAO

yer playin' with fire there... those fucking jayhawks fans don't have anything else to live for living in Kansas! :rofl:

(okay Kansas d00d, I'm mostly kidding, Kansans take their basketball VERY SERIOUSLY THOUGH, and I have no idea if d00d is a Kansan or not. BTW SIU should have won! :rofl:)

back to crimmie

:hi:

it is storming like there is no tomorrow here right now :scared:

sounds like the building is taking off

:hug:

[Robeson]

70. "Survivor" is still on? How long can they milk that crap?....

...}(

[crim son]

73. ForEVAH!

It'll still be playing on channel five as you look up from your stinking deathbed and wonder, "WTF?"

:D

[Skittles]

78. I think all three of them SUCK

a LOT
