Who did that chika-boom chika-boom, dontcha just love it song? That's gotta be a oneder.

I really hope you had to look that up...

The poster child for one hit wonders has to be The Knack's My Sharona. I mean, those guys were supposed to be bigger than The Beatles. It was nuts. For about a month, anyway...

Yeah, that's a great movie. "Inconceivable!" is still a word that in our house can only be said that one certain way (defiant, with just a little bit of spit). And will usually get the "I do not think that word means what you think that it means" Montoya response.

"Half of it's you, half is me Half of it's you, half is me" That part reminds me of something Jeff said in an interview where music (or art of any form) is half what the artist intended, and half what the listener/viewer interprets it as. What you as the listener does with the song is half the art. The "meaning" of a song depends half on the listener; it's half a blank canvas. I liked that part. Also, the "sun gets passed, sea to sea" to me sounds like days / time going by.

I think we had fun with this about a year ago, but my favorite two are : "What would you do with a brain if you had one?" (Wizard of Oz, also overheard on a random wiretap on Washington, DC) "Put... zee candle... back" (Young Frankenstein)

I refuse to believe that either Louisville or North Carolina are as good as their thumpings yesterday would indicate. Top 3 games to watch this weekend... Memphis / Mich St Xavier / WVU UCLA / WKU (At least I hope that one's a good game...)

Another OT game... Marquette & Stanford both hanging tough. Xavier / WVU is going to be a GREAT game next weekend.

WV playing tough in the first half. I still think they have a shot at winning this game.

I thought Clemson would advance a little more also. Great game, Sooie. Good luck with UNC.

Miss St looked awfully good in that comeback. They'll give Memphis some trouble. Vandy was just overrated. Siena shot lights out for a while, too.

Heckuva day in Tampa. edit: Vandy's the next victim. You heard it here first.

That was some shot...

OT!

Fixed it for ya.

I expected more upsets yesterday. Some close calls, but not many suprises at the horn (K-state notwithstanding). Maybe today... I could see a Louisville or a Vandy choking today. And Duke tomorrow. I'm counting on that one.

That's just wrong.

'Fraid not. At least not UGA. My grad degree is from Xavier, undergrad from UK. So I (currently) have two teams in the bracket. They've never met in the tourney, in my recollection, anyway. It would be Final Four if they did this year. Seems kinda unlikely.

I hope it's good. "Parachutes" is good, and "Rush" is a great record. But that doesn't mean they have to keep making clones of the silly thing.

"Office productivity" is going to be at an all time low in this area here in about two more hours... Somebody in our area called a 2:30 meeting today, to which many of us responded: "You're not from around here, are you?" GO CATS!

Arkansas and Georgia in the SEC finals... wouldn't have picked that a week ago. Especially with UGA winning twice in one day... weird tourney all around. I thought Va Tech played a heckuva game against UNC. They deserve to get in. They can win a couple big games. And yes, watching Duke's loss to Clemson was pure joy.

Elvis Costello did a record a couple years ago with the Metropole Orkest called "My Flame Burns Blue". It's quite good.
