“Viral Alert” is a new feature I just invented to alert our loyal readers (both of you) when something is going viral on the Internets. Although I don’t really keep up on fashion, or the latest music, or whatever is “cool” at the moment, I do check Twitter every five minutes or so. I thought I would perform a public service for you degenerate gambling alcoholic golfers and let you know when something is hot on the streets, and by “streets” I mean the Internets. You’re welcome.

If I’m going to post some videos from the archives, I have to start with this one. The Viva Las Vegas video was the first video I made. Of course, no one else was making videos in 1990. I was way ahead of my time with the technology to make this video, if we are being honest with one another. But I’ll come back to that. First the story behind Viva Las Vegas. Continue reading
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. Continue reading
Dug into the video archives today to start a new feature that I will call “Video Archives” because they are videos from the archives. Simple enough. No need to overthink it.
So the kids put this together for me on Father’s Day 2012. Pretty solid work, if we are being honest with one another. I keep trying to get them to do a new one because I come up with new funny shit all the time, and there would be no shortage of material, that’s for sure. Well, Father’s Day is coming up soon, and you know what is on my list.
In hindsight I guess I should have seen it coming. The hints where there. A 12 always beats a 5. The game was in Providence, RI. The favorite was in the Big 12, which Kool says is weak other than Kansas. The underdog is playing with a chip on its shoulder because it’s captain was expelled following a controversial sexual assault allegation (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/15/sports/basketball/yale-basketball-captain-says-he-was-wrongfully-expelled.html?_r=0) and the average IQ of the two teams probably has a 30 point differential. Now sometimes brawn beats brains, but when one of the brawns decides it’s a good idea to try to go behind the back in the middle of traffic in the lane with 3 seconds to go and down by 2 . . . well, you know what happened. Continue reading
That 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
Time for a March Fooking Madness Update. We’ll be using MFMU for short I think. In any event, it wasn’t the greatest start from my perspective, but I am sure Kool is cackling in his lair this morning contemplating whether he really can go 69-0. How great is it by the way that there are 69 games? Childish? Yes. Funny? Hell yes. But once again I digress. Continue reading
No, I’m not talking about the current presidential primaries. That’s more like lunacy or a clown show. I’m talking about the best time of the year for a sports fan, the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament. The time when more than $1.7 Billion in worker productivity will be lost while we all fill out our brackets, watch the games on our computers and generally ignore the rest of the world. Continue reading
DO YOU SEE IT??? Right there in front of our eyes on Supertramp’s “Breakfast In America” album, and has been for most of our lives! While we were Taking the Long Way Home again, and singing along to the Logical Song and Goodbye Stranger, Supertramp knew of the 9-11 attacks 22 years in advance!! Continue reading
