Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patty’s day to all. Just in case you were wondering, I will be attending Doh Boy’s St Patrick’s Day Shindig, but I do not plan on staying long. I need to leave somewhat sober because I need to do research for my picks. Yes, I am passing up a night of alcohol fueled debauchery in order to make good, solid NCAA picks. Because I can get shitfaced pretty much any other night of the year. But tonight and tomorrow are the only time I can do research into gambling on the greatest sporting event in the world. I’m entering a new thing this year: NCAA Suicide Pool. That’s right. I pick one team on Thursday. If they win, I pick one team on Friday. Except it can’t be the same team. Is there strategy involved? Hell yes there is. Do I pick UNC early and hope to survive? What if I get to the final four and all my teams have been used. This seems like a recipe for a 14 way tie, but I’m all for it.

And we’re changing the background for today. This week is the high holiday season in Barney’s World (its just coincidence that it aligns with the actual Holy Week). What can I say? I was raised Catholic. We like to change colors.
