Withdrawals

Because (a) it's late and (b) I'm tired and (c) it's more fun than staring at paintball equipment I don't have, I'm going to remain true to my philosophy that lists are the way to go in most situations.

MY WITHDRAWALS...

10. Hibbing. This ranks the #10 spot since ... honestly I really don't miss Hibbing that much. But it would be nice to see friends and fambly and play some paintball -- oh wait, that comes later.

9. Fishing. Hey, you don't know whatchya got 'til it's gone.

8. Billy Joel. He'd better tour once more before he kicks.

7. Spanish. Soon I won't remember any of it anymore.

6. Football. One of two reasons I'm looking forward to September. With free cable in my room by virtue of being an RA, this Vikings season will be enjoyed in the quiet of my own room (also by virtue of being an RA.) Quiet, if you don't count the drunk freshmen twenty feet away. And what could be better than our new Harris/Sharper/Smoot defense? Maybe their defense plus Moss? There I go, trying to have my cake...

5. Madden 2005. I was violently torn from my winning season as the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are playing hideously (if I recall 2-3 games behind the Bears) because of injury trouble.

4. Scotland. Aye.

3. South Park. The other reason I am looking forward to September.

2. The Aristocrats. I might have to drive to Chicago or Detroit to see it, since it's being distributed limited -- limitedly -- in a limited fashion.

1. Paintball. I feel so used. My paintball gun has sat unused for nearly a year. The pain is especially deep because I now have the money, which was not true when I last played, to buy fog-resistant goggles that actually work (VForce Morph) and a 14" sniper barrel for my Tippmann 98. Thanks for the link to the reviews, TC Paintball.

The Aristocrats

Everyone go see The Aristocrats on July 29th at your local theater. All I've heard is that Bob Saget uses the F-bomb. And that's enough to convince me to attend.

Full F***in' House, b****.

Sincerely,
Rick James

No, seriously. Rick James actually wrote this.

Seriously.

I'm not even joking, you guys.

Not even joking.
