Matthew 3:7-10

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.


Stupid Fact of the Week
There was only one civilian casualty during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg

25 March, 2007
Hoyas Win! Hoyas Win! Hoyas Win!
G-Town puts away the Holes... 'scuse me... Heels by outscoring them 15-3 in OT, catapulting Eric Mendenhizzall and me to the top of our game:

Unfortunately, the Lind-Mendenhall's bracket is now completely dead, leaving her current total, potential total, and therefore final total at 89 points. Best Case scenario: Ohio State beats G'Town in the Final Four and then defeats UCLA for a National Title. Locked at 89, this defensive move prevents anyone else from moving past her, securing a second place finish.

Wynn-Tripp might be able to climb a spot or two riding on the backs of Gators, but cannot surpass the Rockel, who also likes Florida.
Goodman can only hope to play defense with Lind-Mendenhall, picking up a few points and another position on the leader board with a UCLA win in the Final Four.
Rochelle and Bayless will be fighting for 6th place when UCLA takes on Florida. A win for UCLA helps Rochelle, Florida helps Bayless.

As for Eric and Yours Truly...
We both like G'Town over Ohio State...
We both like Florida over UCLA...
A National Title for G'Town puts Eric in victory lane...
A National Title for Florida makes Rockel the winner.

Although... truth be told... on a night like this... when Carolina loses...

We're all winners, aren't we?

    I would just like to say that Eric completely filled out my bracket. He thought he was on his own facebook but he was on mine. So then he just left it for me and filled out his own too.

    I just felt like I admitted to cheating on a test.

    This competition is a farce and you know it. I am the reigning champ and I wasn't even invited to play. Don't pretend it was an accident. We all know what happened. You realized that having me enter a bracket into the pool would simply result in everybody quitting before the tourney even started. So, you know, I'm glad that I'm not in this pool. I want you guys to enjoy the tournament without worrying about the beating you inevitably would have had to endure from the perfection that would have been my bracket. I hope you had fun this year, because next year, I'm going to eat everybody's children.

Lyrics of the Week

ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits

("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")

sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.

so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.

so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.

so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.

so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
