Every year, without fail.

Every year I have played Fantasy Football, I have had one or more players suspended from the league and/or had run-ins with the police during the season.

Here’s the first instance:

On October 28, 2009 Larry Johnson was suspended by the Kansas City Chiefs until November 9, 2009. He was not permitted to participate in team activities and was also not allowed to be on team premises. He was suspended for Conduct Detrimental to the Club.

And then Mr. Ochocinco had to go and do this:

I actually think it’s hilarious. It’s almost like Ochocinco was created by Slade and I in Madden. He could join the ranks of Doombringer and Yeti Pasghetti and lead the Manbeasts to victory and perhaps some comedic mayhem.
Don’t think it happens to me every year? I think you’re crazy. TO, anyone?

I don’t think “diversified” means what you think it means.

Check out Activision’s line-up for 2010:

“In 2010, Activision publishing is expected to release a strong product line of innovative new titles,” Tipple said. “The diversified lineup will include, among others, titles based on the best-selling franchises in the company’s history, including Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Shrek, and Spiderman, and a select few new intellectual properties such as Blur and Singularity, and a strong catalog based on our top sellers of 2009.”

You might want to also look up “innovative”.

Infinite Improbability

As I am a fan of TVTropes, the best way to start sifting through all that information is to randomly click the Random Item button (appropriately enough).

I realized that I have quite a bit of information here that may be intimidating to go back and read. (You know, if you’re a chronomentrophobic and can’t stand my archives calendar/any timekeeping device. I have to be sensitive to those readers.)

I messaged this guy, this guy who said he was the president of the galaxy. He promised that this girl he knew had a heart of gold and to call her flat at 2079460347. Long story short, I now have an Infinite Improbability Drive installed on the bloggh. Check the sidebar, but whatever you do, don’t click it.

I don’t want anyone turning into sofas.

“Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space…

Arthur looked up. “Ford!” he said, “there’s an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they’ve worked out.”

“Five to one against and falling…” she said, “four to one against and falling…three to one…two…one…probability factor of one to one…we have normality, I repeat we have normality.” She turned her microphone off – then turned it back on, with a slight smile and continued: “Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem.”

He reached out and pressed an invitingly large red button on a nearby panel. The panel lit up with the words “Please do not press this button again.”

Bursts of Bullet Points

  • I was not able to practice bass all day (using one of my slackingest costumes) in the library as I had schemed. People kept asking me questions. Some were even about books. Ridiculous.
  • The most memorable Mr. Rogers Picture Picture segment?
    67% said Crayons
    33% said Fortune Cookies
  • Leviathan is still full of steampunky goodness. I was able to requisition another specimen.
  • Fans of Resident Evil video games should check out the Project Firestart footage, showing one of the first survival horror titles for a video game. It’s from this company called Dynamix. As in, “The company that took over my computer’s 5.25″ drive for most of junior high.”
  • Poe’s “The Raven” is a very happy ending if you only read the first stanza.
