At this most joyous time of the year, let us not forget those hardworking souls out there spending hours upon hours distilling spirits and brewing beer.
Do not let their work die in vain. Volunteer your consumption services and drink these fine adult beverages until you’ve fallen on the floor, drunk, and smelling of soul-crushing embarrassment.
I’m abandoning this notebook for a few days (hence the flurry of activity leading into today) to get reacquainted with an old friend called “binge drinking.” There’s plenty of material here to keep you interested until I return on Monday.
I’ll admit it: John Thompson III takes a lot of gruff around here.
An argument can be made as to whether the abuse is necessary, but I will state for the record that the beatings will continue until morale improves.
In honor of the Big East Conference men’s basketball season tipping-off tonight, I will grant Thompson a bit of a reprieve. In place of the usual truth-telling that is the hallmark of this notebook, I will substitute some scientific engineering I have been working on deep in the Hoya Suxa laboratory.
In short, I have created a mechanism that can accurately identify an individual’s evil — or in the case of the individuals presented below, more evil – twin. In an effort to confirm the preciseness of the mechanism, I ran six Big East men’s basketball coaches through the generator’s widgets: Jerry Wainwright (DePaul), Jim Calhoun (Connecticut), Fred Hill (Rutgers), Mike Brey (Notre Dame), Rick Pitino (Louisville), and Bobby Gonzalez (Seton Hall).
YouTube used to be a great smorgasbord of user-generated entertainment. Of course, corporate suits finally realized the strength of the site and decided to trash it with silly advertisements designed, presumably, for viewers to consume their products or services.
Well, in the case of those associated with the traveling stage show of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, they may want to rethink their YouTube advertising demographic:

Granted, I have absolutely no authority regarding advertising theory. However, I think it is safe to say that anyone who is watching John Thompson III and a Truck is, more likely than not, holding a great disinterest in viewing a fictional steam locomotive traipse around a stage.
