Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone got that one little thing they wanted........ my father sure did.

Ummm, A & A part 2 (and 3)

Rematch?

Germany: PBK
Japan: Brian

USA: Josh
UK: Josh
Russia: Josh

Advantage? Josh.

Brian and I believed we could do it, we thought we could make Josh struggle. We were wrong. We played two games today because Josh destroyed us in game 1. Nothing to say about it...... good game JBH.



(Notice Brian's disgust)

Game 2....... things went a little more normal. Huge build up in Europe, Germany even managed to balance out Africa. Russia on the other hand was a monster. After pulling in what seemed to be 40 IPC's a turn Russia forced Germany to be aggressive and make the first move. Germany could not match the balanced spending of Russia. Men and tanks, men and tanks.



Japan did what it could but the Allies were able to keep Japan from having that huge turn it needed....... closer to the capital of Russia. PBK thinks he and Brian need to try again. It's been almost 15 years of your dominence Horton.

more things that scare PBK....

I'm on vacation.

I decided to take it easy today and watch some TV. Where's the harm in that, right? I was flipping through the listings and oh my god, this had to be a joke. The Discovery Channel was doing a show on the Giant Squid? My first thought was that it would be about some super cool scientist who was exploring new ways of ridding the planet of the Giant Squid. Come on, I mean you've seen these things, right? Crazy eyes, razor sharp beaks, and rotating hook like suckers..... they're like something out of a sci fi movie. Oh no, this scientist (who was from New Zealand) was looking into catching Giant Squid larva and raising them in captivity.

I know what you might be thinking, this guy has to be insane.

I was wondering why the Discovery Channel would do a story on a mad scientist. Usually they do stories on interesting scientists looking to do something to better the world. It is crazy doctors like this that make the best villians in the Spiderman sequels. We are dealing with a madman.

Raise a baby Giant Squid into adulthood? Wow, I'm floored. I watched the hour long episode in fear. It did end on a sad note for the doctor but for me it opened my eyes. As hard as it was for the doctor to catch the larva in the wild it was even harder to keep them alive in captivity. Phew? The doctor then swore that it was only a matter of time until he will be able to achieve his life long goal of raising his own squid. Don't we all know why he would want to do this?

World domination.

See, first you raise the squid, then you make thousands of robot squid (see the diagram below that I stole from the internet). This picture was way too easy to find.



When I was younger I was afraid to walk alone in the dark for fear of Gene Simmons in full Kiss gear grabbing me and taking me away from my family. I'm not kidding. Now as an adult my fear of walking alone in the dark has been replaced by the giant eyes and sharp beak of the Giant Squid. I see it like a gang of sea stinking street punks just looking for their next piece of prey.

Ahhh, Chavez.

my dreams of fantasy football greatness have been crushed...... again

What does an 11-2 record and the top spot get me in the playoffs? Beat..... yet again my team loses in the first week of the playoffs. PBK feels like he has pissed away 13 weeks of his life. I should get out, maybe travel more. Maybe I shouldn't do any of that and just start playing D & D. I just need to get over this cold that's keeping me down.

We'll get'em next year Brandon Jacobs.

Oh and BTW, I have all of this new music to listen to and no time to listen to it. I'm misserable...... really, I am.

Send PBK X-mas gifts so he will feel better. In a perfect world there would be a Jafco catelog and a DVD copy of Secret of Magic Island. Oh, and a signed portriat of Jacqueline Summers.
