Piss Poor Picks, Drinking in Lowell, Annoying Parents, and Sweet Nuts
By Dan | October 15, 2007
So after 6 weeks I’m 60 percent on my picks, doin shitty in fantasy and am officially DEAD in my survival football pool. But the important thing is, the Pats are 6-0 baby!
I still don’t think 60 percent is bad, but I could be doing a lot better.
I hear that Tony Dungy is surprised that the Colts are 5-0 and no one is talking about them. Tony Dungy must not be watching the Pats, who are not only winning games, but destroying the teams as they go. Colts are totally meh. If Bill Bellichick is Emperor Palpatine and Tom Brady is Darth Vader, then the Pats truly are the Empire, and we all know how things work out for them (Note: Ive only seen the Star Wars trilogy up to Empire Strikes Back, but I assume with Luke handicapped and Han Solo frozen its smooth sailing for Vader and friends.)
I went out drinking in Lowell after the Devils game on Saturday and went in to the Lowell Brewing Co. to get more drunkerer. First off, I like the idea that they drop the cover charge if you have a ticket to the game. That’s a real classy move, and one that more businesses should pick up on. This bar also had some cool things inside:
Pool Tables angled in a way so people arent bumping into the table right next to them during a game
Beirut tables
Auctions on Red Sox autographs
Dollar PBR drafts
Pin Ball
Air Hockey
Several different bars
Giant TV screens
At first things were going great, until the locals started coming in.
At first it had a nice sportsbar feeling, nice people, everyone talking about the sox, how the celtics are gonna do, etc. Then the friend I’m with comes back from the ladies room all pissed off. I ask her what happened and she explains that people keep bumping into her and are very rude about it without even saying ‘excuse me’. I look behind me and see all the nice sports fans scaterred among a crowd of what appears to be people you would find on the Maury Povich show.
Some women just should not be wearing tight pants, and men should not be wearing jewelery of any kind. Do guys get that? Maybe its just certian ethnic backgrounds. I don’t care if its part of your Italian, Greek, or Hispanic culture, seeing you guys sweat your chains is embarassing and gives me douche chills. Leave the necklaces, earings, and bracelets for the ladies.
I have to say, drinking in Lowell is fun, until it hits 11. Unlike Boston where hot college kids start flooding the bars, Lowell gets swamped with trash and townies.
CHAMP TELLZ YOU WHATZ WICKED GAY RIGHT NOW: Parents. Is their anyone else in the education field that finds parents as annoying or maybe even more annoying than their kids? I have a parent for the 4th year in a row asking me to remind her child to take her jacket outside every day. So ontop of getting 50 kids prepped for going outside like I usually do, I have to ask a third grader to get her jacket on because telling the entire class to get their jacket on isnt good enough. This girl is special. She needs extra attention.
When are parents gonna teach their kids responsibility? Ever? It blows. Hope all you people who are going into management positions are ready for when these kids grow up and work for you. Your gonna get some fucked up people.
CHAMP TELLZ YOU WHATZ SO HOT RIGHT NOW: Sweet Nuts! New to the Lowell Devils games is the greatest snack ever given to mankind. Cinnamon sugar glazed Almonds and Walnuts. Thanks to the Nutty Bavarian (www.nuttyb.com
) these carts are popping up everywhere. I almost want to get a franchise just for my car. I strongly recommend trying these, but be careful, they are equivilent to cocaine.
Nutty Bavarian. He’s so hot right now.
