Corner Booth: Go, Tigers?

OK, so I was wrong about the Final Four.

I picked Memphis to go all the way, and they fell to Missouri in a game that wasn’t even close.  The problem was that I started rooting for Memphis. This is a sure kiss of death in any tournament. I get interested in a team, and it’s all over for them. They don’t just have a bad game, they have a laugher. They keep looking at the basketball like they’ve never seen one before.

I like to root for underdogs, but I’m running out of giant-killers to support in this tournament. Villanova, anyone? Arizona? Whom shall I curse?

Casual Friday: Give us a big ol’ dose of sunshine and people go straight for their summer clothes. Yay for Casual Friday. One day a week, working stiffs get to go around in comfortable clothes. They should call it Fat Friday. Every weekend a Mardi Gras! Whoo-hee.

I’ll go back to a regular job when they offer Bathrobe-and-Flipflops Friday.

Piercing Thought: People with nipple rings could hang their eyeglasses from them. Or their keys. Maybe a ballpoint on a chain, like at the bank. Never be without a pen again!
