Contrary to popular belief, I have not been arrested and at least 6 of my 401 children are still with me. As a matter of fact one of my daughter’s turned 3 today and I kissed her goodbye as I left for work. Don’t believe everything you read…damn media.

What a game last night! Since the outcome of the basketball pool I was in was already decided and I had no money riding on the game, I was able to just sit back and enjoy the game. I told Mrs. Mookie my only hope was that it would be a good, close game.

I thought Kansas came out with another stellar game plan. In the first half they managed to shut down Rose and out-rebound Memphis but only led by 5 at halftime due to turnovers. If I’m Memphis at halftime I would have felt pretty good knowing that if Rose could get on track in the second half things would change. Of course that’s exactly what happened. I wasn’t a big fan of Self switching to the box and 1 on Rose or going to the 1-2-2 zone late in the second half. Kansas is at their best when they are up in your face playing man to man period, so why move away from your strength?

In the end Memphis gave up the championship by not making free throws. I watched the post game press conference with Calipari at the podium trying to brush that notion aside. Memphis was a crappy free throw shooting team all year so I’m not sure how much of a choke job it was but you gotta make some free throws in that spot.

Calipari also mentioned they were trying to foul Kansas after they crossed half court but when I go back and watch the replays it doesn’t look like it to me. It’s easy to play armchair coach but if I was coaching Memphis, I call a time out after the free throw with 10 seconds left and make sure my players knew that they should foul Kansas as soon as they crossed half court.

Calipari reminds me a lot of Mack Brown at Texas, awesome recruiter…best in the nation…but an average at best game day coach.

Well enough of that, I was just trying to keep my “Jock” status…

The BBT3 keeps rolling on and I’m still unable to make most events due to family commitments. I’m really digging the new Munchkin and last night I hung out with her while Mrs. Mookie got out of the house for a few hours. Holding her and staring into her eyes is much more +EV than playing poker with you clowns. I’ll be back though…Wednesday at The Mookie.

That’s all I have for today…time to read the latest Truckin’

1. Bong Hits with Rachael Ray by Paul McGuire
My body sinks into the couch as soon as Rachael Ray comes on the screen. Rachael Ray’s smile is intoxicating and any mentioning of EVOO sends orgasmic chills throughout my entire body. And when she grabs a fistful of meat, I wet myself…. More

2. Magpies Are Better Than That, All Wright? by Sigge S. Amdal
Birthdays never set well with me. Today so many days ago I was shoved head first through the vagina of a woman I didn’t even know at the time, radically interfering with her and her husband’s sex lives, economical situation, causing nothing but general dismay for half a year before they finally got used to me… More

3. Skinny Dipping for Christ by Betty Underground
At the other end of the pool a barefoot young woman, steps to the edge of the pool. Slender. Blonde with alabaster skin. Flawless. Angelic. She steps out of her skirt and pulls her t-shirt over her head. Standing naked, starring down into the pool, still lit from below… More

4. Axel by Kajagugu
My plea trailed off at the end as he put the car in gear and we took off. He pulled a quick left hand u-turn out of the hotel taxi line across six lanes of traffic and barely missed a young lady on her bicycle… More

Anyone can toss singles onto the stage, but she’d already mastered the art of tipping with style by stuffing dollar bills down her shirt, where the dancers had to be a little more, uh, creative in retrieving them… More
