No apologies this time...

As promised
Oops, I fumbled again

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe we had more than a chance
Oh baby
It might seem just like a mistake
But it doesn't mean that it's not serious
'Cause to lose all our lives
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby

CHORUS:
Oops!...I fumbled again
I played with the dice, got some lost in the chair
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm no good
That my head's made of wood
I'm not that competent

(Not much to change in this verse)

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I play, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all our lives
That is just so typically me
Baby, oh

Repeat CHORUS

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

"All aboard"
"Bradley, before you go, there's something I want you to know"
"Oh, it's getting late, but wait a minute, isn't this...?"
"Yeah, yes it is"
"But I thought the pump was a diesel one!"
"Well Brad, I went and looked and it isn't!"
"Oh, f**k! I couldn't have!"

Oops!...I fumbled again on my next roll
We're lost in this game, oh baby
Oops!...You think my head's made of wood
I'm not that competent

Bread and Circuses

I've just returned from watching Wrestlemania. As I suspected, it was a brilliant spectacle with all the comic book/bad soap twists and resolutions we've come to know and love. In short, it was trashy fun.

So, were the Romans right?

Do we need such spectacle to keep the population happy? In the final bout/fight/contest/scenario thing two men were bleeding heavily from the head having had their heads rammed quite spectacularly into metal fixtures. For our entertainment. Makes you think. Of course, you could argue that this is no different from blockbuster movies like Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan in which there is a large body count for entertainment purposes. In fact Gladiator is all about those ancient Roman spectacles. However, the difference is that all of these events aren't real. Make believe. Two of those guys were going to need stitches. Lots of stitches. If this had been outside my door the local police would have hauled them away (after getting several big burly bobbies first.)

But I enjoyed it. I don't know why. I appreciated the skill some of them showed, especially the cruiser weights; the show was well managed and was entertaining even when there was no-one in the ring and I think that I didn't waste the four and a half hours of my life spent watching it in good company. Go figure.

People are strange.

Unlucky at cards...

...unlucky at Bloodbowl.

Isn't there something I'm meant to be lucky at? Once again my superb team of Noldor elves has failed me. I suspect the Curse of Mandos had further reaching consequences than even that far sighted Valar could guess at.

Tonight I get to be socialble and am off to watch Wrestlemania at 'Muffin's along with Korvar, Agent Grey and others. I'm not really a fan of American Wrestling but this is a spectacle and will fit in well with my bad taste in TV habits.

James Garner I'm not

It's approximately 1.15 pm. The Poker Night started at 8pm, broke up at about 11pm and I was knocked out at about 9.45pm. At least I wasn't last. The wooden spoon went to Double-Barrel, closely followed by Cool Car guy. Agent Grey was next and then it was a while until I was out. Then, simultaneously, it was Map Man and Laid Back Guy on the same hand. It was a tense last three and you could cut the atmosphere with a spatula! The winners, in reverse order, were Rules Monkey, FactorX and Socialite. They walked away with £7.50, £15 and £22.50 respectively. Much fun. It was decided afterwards that we'd have another in mid April.

Afterwards Double-Barrel and myself played some chess, myself in the manner of the Waco Kid from Blazing Saddles. (i.e. I lost and was drunk.) Yes, that's right folks, to get back to the early traditions of this Blogg, I'm posting whilst slightly sloshed! (Well almost. The Ubergeek is online at this precise moment so I'm writing this on Notepad and saving it for later.)

I'd also like to take the time to thank Agent Grey and 'Muffin for taking me on a wasted trip to Toys 'R' Us today. The plan was to find some toy money in case we didn't have enough Poker Chips. Not only was there insufficient kiddie money for our needs but Rules Monkey brought along more than enough chips. Cheers guys. :)
