JLO has started Guys weekend by insulting HOW so nothing has changed.. If HOW is offended with his new name I am sure it will never be repeated again. IJ as the name implies (introverted J) has asked that he not be introduced here but allowed to be in the blog and guys weekend without being officially acknowledged (PLEASE CLOSE THE WINDOW).. I don't think I will welcome the guys of GW unless they would like to be lambasted like HOW.
Vikes
This is going to be odd year.. The preseason isn't going to tell you anything other than if this rookie quarterback can play at all. I really think Childress is an arrogant control freak he has hired a bunch of young guys without any experience at all so no one can question is ability .. He does nothing in the draft and then selects a project at QB even though there was 3 potential star qb's available when you have a guy at 38 in that position.. He thinks he can coach anyone which will be his downfall.. The vikes are really going to be lacking speed on both sides of the ball.. They have Williamson with speed at WR but nothing like Bennet and Moss and Daunte on offense.. We don't have a shutdown corner ma I hate that term winfield is a great tackler but not a great cover guy. And we have some very average running back.. Unless this kid from Iowa is a playa the vikings will have a tough time on defense with the lethargic guys they have at the line backer position since this scheme relies on a great athlete at that position. All that said the division is weak and the vikes will be 9-7 to 10-6.. I am going to blog a lot about the vikes most of which will be negative which is just my way of softening the blow when the vikes play poorly..I am such a vikes rube I would kill for them to make a super bowl and haven't missed watching a game in a long time…
Twins
Can they keep doing this? It has been a great summer of watching them turn a young team into a contender.. I have enjoyed this season as much as 86 and 87.. Honestly I wouldn't be real upset if they didn't make the playoffs but baseball is such a marathon and it just doesn't get better than this in the regular season.. What is everyones opinion should they bring Garza.. Will they try and get Soriano .. Is Torii done as twin.. Why can't they unload Lohse..
PUPS
SW sent me this on the pups first rounder.. Nothing but good about this guy..
" Randy Foye did nothing to make me regret saying the Hawks will rue the day they passed him by for Shelden Williams. Foye averaged about 26 in Vegas while essentially toying with the field of NBA wannabes (Brandon Roy did the same). I like the Hawks' signing of Speedy Claxton, but Foye's going to be dynamite. He and Joe Johnson would've been a backcourt to beware, and while neither one's a point, both are combo enough that they could've played together.
Speaking of Foye, I like the offseason Minnesota has had, which means that you can ignore all the KG trade rumors. He'll give it a go with Foye and Mike James before demanding a move. If Foye's ready to step in and average 16 off the bat, the T-Wolves could return to the postseason, though the West is deeper than Donald Trump's pockets. "

Let me Bore You
Had a long boring Day Yesterday
My son had his tonsils and adenoids taken out yesterday.. Everything went well expect we are going to have a pretty sick kid trapped in our house over the next few weeks. So I won't be missing any Twins games soon.. Wow are they fun to watch right now.. I don't think they are better than the sox but I do think they have more confidence than the sox.. It is like they expect to win even though they are counting on bartlett to hit a 3 run dinger.. Johan doesn't seem quite right yet but he is a smart pitcher that is winning without his A stuff.
Ok.. So I shouldn't do this but it is my blog So my son comes out of surgery in this new Out patient special surgery place where they stack up patients like cord wood and knock the procedures out all at the same time using the same process.. It is really hard to feel like you are important when they refer to you as parent a6559 in outpatient area 63a but it works and the care seems to be good. Anyway I am sitting there and should be just thinking about comforting my son but I can't stop listening and looking at all the situations around me.. So I will just tell you one of them because I just thought I would let you get into what goes through my head on a daily basis..
I give these people around me names so that it helps me with my internal story that I generate for them. So gramma Esther has just cataract surgery on her eye and is sitting there with her son Kenneth..(That is na ame I reuse since it gives me the creeps and you wonder when the kid moves from being called Kenny to Ken and finally Kenneth.. Well I think this guy has skipped all those steps and was just called Kenneth by his mom since he wet his pants at the church Christmas musical..age somewhere between 3 -19) Well Kenneth is wearing the perquisite clothes off man living with his mom at the age of 43.. He has black sweat pants and a red and black "golf shirt" (Kenneth has never played golf as you can assume his days are spent working at the shinders downtown and brushing Esther's hair before she goes to sleep) his hair had the look of 10 yr old kid that took a bath the night before and got on the bus the next day looking like his head was lopsided.. (It is not easy being me) So as the doctor is describing what he needs to do to care for his Mom's surgery Kenneth nods and pretends he cares about his mother's well being even though he is still calculating how many more years he is going to be hit with the same hair brush when he hits a snarl.. Cut to me trying to focus on how son's doing he is a little sleepy but still as a parent you still worry when you can't seem to help your kids.. Esther blurts out did you right that down.. Can you get the Car started it is getting hot out there… Did you call Aunt blah blah and tell her that I am ok.. Kenneth is just hoping the meds will make here sleepy so he can get back to being Ksnizzel wacking homies on EverQuest.. I could go on but it really scares me that I need this to get through the day…
JLO IJ who should we introduce next..

So many GW gents to introduce and only 1 week to the big event. I haven't read through more than a couple of days worth of ramblings so far, but here's a few that I haven't seen come up yet. Drumroll please.... In random order:
HOW IS AN IDIOT XXXX WILL BE USED IN PLACE
Schpeedy
Dock Boy (You know who you are!)
XXXX World (we'll have to call him this year since he can't attend)
Trappy (or is it 7/8th's?) HE IS M5
Oak Tree
Gentile (I know you prefer HeavyD, but that doesn't have its origins in GW and all of these names must have some type of beginning there!)
Coonie (I think that's right?)
Low-Sack(This has morphed to XXXX Low, but Low Sack was the true original)
J-Bird (you now refer to him as IJ, but that has nothing to do with Guy's Weekend)
XXXXXX (I got nothing)
Peace!! How

D,
Think you need to work with McKack a bit re his opsec on the 1MC...furthermore, as a point of clarification, McKack seems to be rejecting his new identifier...so...I think, particularly given his akward clarification of GW names and their origins, which if he had actually read two days worth of postings, should have made it abundantly clear that such things were strictly verboten, you might re-introduce McKack (or just Kack for short) in your own dynamic way...and then press on with intro's of the rest of the GW posse...just a suggestion from a former Alpha...
JLO
P.S. Mr. Mckack...
I obviously have no issue with us (GW posse) and our use of creative nomenclature for each other...I do however, have concerns that some anonymous C++ - Java Script weenie from Bangladesh might horne in on our thing, and start throwing names around like he actually knows something...just saying..perhaps for not...
