Question of the Day

If you could be anyone else in the world who would it be?

To be clear, I mean if you could trade bodies with any living human being, who would you trade with?  And none of that “I’m comfortable with who I am BS.”  Gotta switch.

I know what you are thinking.  “Well SeaDick, you go first.  Who would you pick?”  I’m glad you asked — Dustin Johnson.

Time to Focus

Well the weather is getting cold and you know what that means — no more golf season.  We may have a few more weeks of potential play, but my own personal cut off is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.  That means we are in the shoulder season between golf and skiing.  I’m happy to report that La Nina has brought enough snow to the west to allow some ski resorts to open mid-November, but realistically I don’t see myself hitting the slopes until January (unless of course if we set up a “Guys Only” trip for Tahoe in December again).  So what’s a degen to do?  Drink obviously, but as you can tell by this post and Pipes’ missives below, it’s time to get back in blogging game.  Buckle up Monkey fans, a lot of crazy shit has happened since we were last blogging regularly, was there an election recently?  We also have a new provider of content as we are proud to add Irish Jesus to the site.  He only blogs when he’s not sober, so you can expect commentary from him all the time.

As IJ likes to say, Let’s Go!

Kentucky Derby – Live Blog

Got an invite from Kool Gregg a couple weeks ago to join his A+ crew at the Kentucky Derby. Haven’t been to the Derby since 1995 for Ratt’s bachelor party, so absolutely had to be here. Killer time so far I guess.

Kool claims Derby weekend is the best sporting event of the year. Better than the Super Bowl, NCAA championship, World Series, etc.  My first thought, that’s ridiculous!  Better than the Super Bowl?!?  I’ve been to the Super Bowl, and it’s awesome!  The Colts lost, and it was still awesome. How could a bunch of animals running in a circle compare to that?

But after the first day, I’m coming around to Kool’s way of thinking.  Continue reading

MMFU –Dr Evil is Cackling in His Lair

 

I know, I know, you all are saying WTF SeaDick?  Where were the MMFUs over the weekend?  I say, keep your damn pants on.  I love you all, but there was wall to wall March Madness (and hockey and Warriors/Spurs and one of my daughters playing a garden tool in her Spring Musical — So proud) and, if we are being honest with each other, blogging comes well behind all of those items. As you can guess from the video clip above Dr. Evil (formerly Kool, but he’s no longer Kool to me after the weekend) has taken a lead in the picks.  As you can see below, we’ve wagered on 52 games, both picking 26.  Dr. Evil is 12-13-1 and I am 11-15.  So really just a three game difference.  You are undoubtedly saying “But SeaDick if it’s only a 3 game difference why is Dr. Evil cackling?”  A good question my friend.  The answer, as you may have guessed, is that the games where we doubled the bet have been killing me.  In those, Dr. Evil is  3-4-1 and I’m 2-6.

MFMU — Who Didn’t Have Faith in Michigan?

imageThat would be me I guess.  SeaDick is on the right side of the ledga boys and girls with an impressive sweep of both games last night to even the standings at 2-2.  Well, maybe more lucky than good, but just like my golf game, I’ll take it.  Now that the real  tourney has started, not the “First Four” (More like the “No One is Watching These Games Four.”  It took me like 10 minutes to even find the right channel.  TruTv?  WTF?) we can get down to the real wagering.  Kool and I spent a good 30 minutes last night picking today’s games and I think I am going to absolutely own his ass today.  Not literally of course, but you knew what I meant.  Like Mongo says, “I know that you know that I know that you know that I know.”  Cawk.  Anyway, here’s today’s picks: Continue reading
