Regarding the longest running rivalry between match 5 opponents Ticket and E-Team...
Ticket says
I always introduce my id
Eric needs to lighten up on me and direct his frustration in the appropriate place...(hint) between his wife's sheets.
E Team says...
Mark, your Hawaiian is better than mine. It is haole. My bad.
And Tom, if I were you, I wouldn't be making fun of anyone else's sex life on the blog. Or anywhere else.
Ticket counters:
The moment a woman finds herself confronted by an antagonist genuinely dangerous, either to her own security or to the well-being of the helpless creatures under her protection- say a child or a husband-she displays a bellicosity that stops at nothing, however outrageous. In the courts of law one occasionally encounters a male extremist who tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even when it is against his cause, but no such woman has been on view since the days of Justinian. It is, indeed, an axiom of the bar that women invariably lie upon the stand, and the whole effort of a barrister who has one for a client is devoted to keeping her within bounds, that the obtuse suspicions of the jury may not be unduly aroused. Women litigants almost always win their cases, not, as is commonly assumed, because male jurymen fall in love with them, but simply and solely because they are clear-headed, resourceful and implacable and without qualms.
What is here visible in the halls of justice, in the face of a vast technical equipment for combating mendacity, is ten times more obvious in freer fields. Any man who is unfortunate as to have a serious controversy with a woman, say in the department of finance, theology or amour, must invariably carry away from it a sense of having passed through a dangerous and hair-raising experience. Women not only bite in the clinches; they bite even in open fighting; they have a dental reach, so to speak, of amazing length. No attack is so desperate that they will not undertake it, once they are aroused; no device is so unfair and horrifying that it stays them. In my early days, desiring to improve my prose, I served for a year or so as a reporter for a newspaper in a police court, and during that time I heard perhaps four hundred cases of so called wife-beating. The husbands, in their defense, almost invariably pleaded justification, and some of them told such tales of studied atrocity at the domestic hearth, both psychic and physical, that the learned magistrate discharged them with tears in his eyes and the very catchpolls in the courtroom had to blow their noses.
Many more men than women go insane, and many more married men than single men. The fact puzzles no one who has had the same opportunity that I had to find out what goes on, year in and year out, behind the doors of apparently happy homes. A woman, if she hates her husband (and many of them do), can make life so sour and obnoxious to him that even death upon the gallows seems sweet by comparison. This hatred, of course, is often, and perhaps almost invariably, quite justified. To be the wife of an ordinary man, indeed, is an experience that must be very hard to bear. The hollowness and vanity of the fellow, his petty meanness and stupidity, his puling sentimentality and credulity, his bombastic air of a cock on a dunghill, his anesthesia to all whispers and summonings of the spirit, above all, his loathsome clumsiness in amour-all these things must revolt any woman above the lowest. To be the object of the oafish affections of such a creature, even when they are honest and profound, cannot be expected to give any genuine joy to a woman of sense and refinement. His performance as a gallant, as Honore Balzac long ago observed, unescapably suggests a gorilla’s efforts to play the violin.
Women survive the tragic-comedy only by dint of their great capacity for play-acting. They are able to act so realistically that they often deceive even themselves; the average woman’s contentment, indeed, is no more than a tribute to her histrionism. But there must be numerous revolts in secret, even so, and one sometimes wonders that so few women, with the thing so facile and so safe, poison their husbands. Perhaps it is not quite as rare as vital statistics make it out; the death-rate among husbands is very much higher than among wives. More than once, indeed, I have gone to the funeral of an acquaintance who died suddenly, and observed a curious glitter in the eyes of the inconsolable widow.
From HL Mencken "In Defense of Women": "Women as Christians"
Jesus Tom...anyway...Am I right that McCarthyism is still running out the injured Devin Harris?
WTF????? Anyway, we apologize for our lack of participation. Frankly, we were sort of bored by our dominance. We can't even figure out who to play because we are too deep. Takes the fun out of it. And, Tom was mean to us on one of his posts.
Anyway, the three-headed German Sausage-fest is engaged and at attention! Stay thirsty, my friends.
P4
FYI: P4 (same as last match):
Nash
Mayo
Durant
Dirk
Bargnani
Billups
E Team says:
Uh, Terry. You might want to pull Devin Harris from your lineup. He hasn't played in, like, three matches. Little hard to be competitive when you're playing with five guys.
Just a thought. E
Ticket
Two Spurs can't last more than two weeks for Ticket. E-Team needs 146 to beat'm.
Laughs are on me.
The Mencken excerpt was funny to some ladies at open mic, but apparently this is the wrong venue. I'll stick to bizness from here on in.
204 and waiting anxiously is she.
P4
Invaders say it looks like the game of the year so far but the P4 Germaniacs have beaten my east bay Invaders by the heartbreaking score of 204-203- Granger's 53 and Gordon's 31 come up short tonight
E Team says:
Awesome stuff, that German/Invader showdown! First high-octane barnburner of the season.
E Team gets off the schneid with a 199-154 win over the five-man Ticket.
(Tom, where did you get the 145? I've got Wade 55, Melo 29, Okur 32, Gay 24, Jameer 14. Double check your numbers. Please.)
E Team has six guys on his bench go 30-plus. That's what I'm talkin' about! Built for the long haul. Watch me now.
5-0 tastes good. Braut with Kraut, mustard, relish..mmm
P.Creamer 156
Shitschlinger 130
E Team says:
Dave wins with a 156. That's nice for him.
