College Hoops Top 25: Keith Richards & Wesley J

Forgive me, my friends, but this will have to be brief. As we speak, my lap top's battery is flashing red, with relief still a UPS distribution center or two away...

AKA - Somehow my lap top's charger gave out, and I had to order a new one. So help is on the way, it's just not here right now, and while I could use another computer I have access too, I'd rather use the last breaths of life from this sucker just for the added effect, and for the convenient built-in "brevity" excuse. Ya know, because I usually love to rant and point out interest trends when it comes to college hoops so I can show off my skills in what I consider one of my strongest sports, but this will be two weeks in a row that I haven't done so. A shame too, considering the unusual shake-ups going on throughout this thing, but that'll be something I get to when my little Al Gore Matrix translator here is back up to full strength...

But yeah, my charger's beat (or at least I'm hoping that's my problem). Merely a $10 transaction, but still I could barely bring myself to pay for it. After all, there was a time where I had friends who had intimate access to sketchy items such as this, and would be able to barter me a few that would come down to a "pack of menthols", "2 40's", or the most common "whatever, bro...".

Ahhh, yes, what a time it was indeed. But no time for reflection. See, I set it up on my laptop that I want my battery's "death" to sound like that of what I imagine Keith Richards death will sound like (no joke, I downloaded the soundboard from my Droid), and it literally just made a vicious growling sound and hocked up a lung biscuit at me that was, no joke, made up of a cig filter, what appears to be the back of a hoop earring, and poll of mucus that looks like that cartoon, Mucinex mucus family, joined a cult and just had their mass suicide in Keith's lungs. IT was a sight, man. A gross sight, but a sight nonetheless...

I managed to avoid it hitting any part of my person, thank God. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to burn this coach now. Or sell it on eBay. To throw something out because it's disgusting? OR sell it some loser on the Intraweb? The classic debate rages on...

So yeah, it's time to go. Wesley J for President. And you better get used to me saying that, kids. That smilin' man-beast is 6 March wins away from replacing Teddy Williams at the bottom of my weekly posts...

Eh, there's room for both, I suppose. Plus, it allows me to further confuse the Hell out of people. Which I take pleasure in as well...

Enjoy...
